FIELD HERE TO
SAVE GITY'S COIN
WHERE POSSIBLE

II. Gooding Field returned from Maui
yesterday prepared to enter at once
upon hia duties as investigator of the
various departments of the city and
county government, on behalf of the
chamberNof commerce. His entire work
will be constructive, and with view
TO devising ways and means Of getting
the greatest efficiency for Honolulu =
municipal organization.
Mr.. Field has opened an Office ON the
sixth floor Of the Stangenwald building
and win make his headquarters there
during the two or three months he is
engaged on his special work. 1t is not
his purpose to find ways and means to
start a wholesale elimination of aul
ployes. Primarily, he win ascertain how
the greatest efficiency can be obtained
by the departments as they now stand
He will call upon the mayor and super.
visors and have a conference with
them, outlining his plans. He will then
particularize one certain feature and
work upon that and gradually widen
the scope of his investigation until all
departments have been included.
He will work upon the theory that
the efficiency Of city government de-
ponds upon the amount and character
of work it gets out of its employees, and
this of course rests somewhat upon the
financial system. He hopes to indicate
how the departments can be put upon
a businesslike basis, to eliminate waste,
prevent duplication and unnecessary
labor. The results will be summed up
and he win then apply them to see
where shortcuts can be made.
Mr.. Field is aware that Honolulu has
peculiar conditions that have to be TAX
en- into consideration. Conditions that
are. not found elsewhere and can not
be used for comparative purposes.

CONTRACT LET FOR
THE OBSERVATORY

HILo, February 6.-The plans for
the Volcano observatory have been
completed, and tenders for the CON
strnction of the building were opened
last week. Fl. Hackfeld & Co. secured
the contract, the bid being $14s5, and
the construction viii begin immedi-
ately. The observatory will be located
on a bluff on the eastside of. the crater,
about two hundred and fifty feet from
the auto road to Kilauea-iki. The Vol
cano House Company has granted a
lease of the observatory site, to last
as long as its own lease, for the sum
of 81.
The lava in-the lake has remained
almost stationary during the past week,
at depth of about 325 feet from the
rim. 1t is still very active.

CLAIM MARK ON
WILL A FRAUD
Especial Mail to The Advertiser.)

Especial Mail to The Advertiser.)
HlLO, February 5.-An interesting
will contest case was heard last week
before Judge Matthewman at Kailua,
with the result that the contestant
came off with the victory. 1t appears
that charges of fraud were made, and
that the court decided that the docu-
ment which purported to be will, was
not in fact proper will.
A Hawaiian woman, Mrs. Lonehiwa,
was the contestant. She was repre-
sented by F. J. II. Schnack of Honolulu.
The matter came through the hearing
of petition for the probate of the
purported will of Mrs. Aulike Paakiki,
a Hawaiian woman who died some time
ago. The property involved is reported
to have a value of about fifteen thou
sand dollars. Henry P. Campbell was
the petitioner that the will be pro-
bated. He is the adopted son of the
husband of the deceased woman, but
was not adopted by her. Campbell was
represented by M. F. Presser of. Homo
lulu.
1t seems that the claim of the con-
testant was that Mrs. Paakiki did
never intend to make will in favor of
Campbell Some of the witnesses are,
reported to have stated that the de-
ceased was asked to sign the purported
will, but that she refused to do so,
and that she did not even place her
hand to the mark which was made,

KENNEDY PROPOSES
DRYDOCk SITE
(Trom Thurgday,g Advertigerl

(F'rom Thursdays ADVERTISER
The Inter-Island company g half-mil-
lion-dollar floating drydock may be put
on the site of the marine railway, be-
tween the naval station wharves and
the lnter-Island coal bunkers. The
question of site was laid before the
board of harbor commissioners yester-
day by j. A. Kennedy, head of the
Inter-Island company, who said that a
site on the opposite side of the harbor
was impractical, but that the marine
railway site was the only logical one.
The board will visit the site with Presi-
dent Kennedy some time this week and
may reach a decision before their next
regular meeting.
Mr.. Kennedy made very favorable
impression before the board. He asked
that the commissioners assist the COM
pany in securing the site proposed by
the company, and called attention to
the fact that when. Los Angeles firm
wanted to establish a dock, a large
amount of land was set aside by the
city for that purpose. Mr.. Kennedy
stated that the drydoek would be an
expensive one and would not bring in
an income commensurate with the cost,
but that the company had decided that
it was public spirited move to furnish
Honolulu harbor with a drydock suf-
ficient not only to take the Inter Island
boats but tramp steamers of the largest
size floating in the Pacific.
Work Done Here.
The construction work will all be
done at Honolulu and win require from
year TO a year and a half Is time to
complete it. The labor will cost about
$4,000 and it will be an enterprise
excelling even the expensive coaling
plant which the Inter-Island installed
a year or two ago.
at will be great thing for the
port of Honolulu" said Mr.. Kennedy,
"1and will bring vessels from all parts
of the Pacific. He went on to ex-
plain that the terms of measurement
have mystitied many people, but this
dock would have lifting power for
lightweight, larger than any on the
Coast. Observation-Disclosures freighters
can be handled easily and such vessels
as the Lurline and Wilhelmina, will be
Graded, whenever necessary.
The lease of the marine railway COM
pany, now controlled by the Inter
Island, will run out in the near future.
The railway extends about sixty feet
into the harbor beyond the harbor line
and is a menace to navigation. The
drydock will not project into the har-
Dor at all. The shore end will, of
course, come much closer to the street
than the marine railway. Mr.. Ken
nedy explained that they win have to
dredge down to forty feet in order to
"a ao,,, n fa tha hior nnoR
Two sets of plans for drydocks are
now being drawn in New York to be
submitted to the directors of the Inter
Island company. The company expects
to make its choice of the style of dock
within the next six weeks, and will then
place an order for the materials.

CATCHES THIEF ON
EVE OF DEPARTURE


Deputy Sheriff Jack Fernandez of
Eva is distinguishing himself in lucky
captures as well as other officers, nova
days, and yesterday morning arrested
Eulalio, Saxelo, a Filipino, under the
circumstances for which Chief McDuffie
has become noted.
SaXelo is wanted down in the sugar
cane district for larceny in the second
degree, Fernandez holding warrant
for him sworn to by Emilio Castronuela
of Aiea. Yesterday morning, as the
deputy sheriff was standing near the
railroad depot in Palama, he saw the
man he was after come out with the
crowd of the early train and pass down
the street.
He followed him up, until Saxelo got
glimpse of him and a long successful
chase through an alley followed.
Saxelo was leaving for the other islands
and was caught just. in time. He is
charged with the theft of thirty dol
lars and Fernandez had the additional
good luck of finding the three "eagles"
tucked away in pocket.
Got His Cue.
Just at present Fernandez has a
doublebarreled assault case on his
hands down at Waipahu and one Of the
Victims may possibly die. He is a
Japanese named Myurata, chauffeur
at Waipahu. The trouble arose over
his insissence to join in a game Of pool
where he wasn't wanted.
After being refused permission to
play he picked up cue and commenced
to shoot anyway, whereupon one of the
other players stepped up behind him
and struck him blow in the back of
the head with the butt of his cue.
He had just enough comeback left
him to handle his own cue and before
ne got through with it had broken the
head of one of the other players in four
places. The other three men then got
busy and he went down and out with
another crack over the skull and a
broken arm.

HIL0, February 6.-The plans of
Chief Engineer Bishop for the con-
struction of the road sections between
Wainaku and Honoli, Paukaa and Ho.
nomu and Honomu and Hakalau have
been approved, as we'll as the plans
for the Improvement of the Bolabola
road in Hamakua. The belt road com.
mission has authorized Mr.. Bishop to
advertise for bids forthwith, aud tie
tenders win probably be opened during
the early part of next month.
The commission has also decided
that it will use its next lump of belt
road money for the Improvement if
several sections of the road between
Honokaa and Waimea and on the
famous Keamoku road between Wal.
mea and Kona.
1t is also quite likely that the Ka.
huku lava flow road, between Kau and
Kona, will be improved.
No Secrecy.
All these matters were taken up at
the meeting which the belt road COM
mission held last Wednesday afternoon,
at Honokaa.
The meeting was opened by Carter,
who acted as chairman, by stating
that the Hawaii commission had adopt
ed the policy of holding open meetings.
1t was ever willing to let the public
know what it was doing and what it
intended to do, and would readily listen
to any suggestions which might be
offered.
The commissioners had a contract on
their hands, said Carter. To complete
the belt road would involve a cost of
a million dollars, or probably even
more, and, when the engineering eX-
pense was deducted, the amount left in
the commission s hands for actual con
struction work would amount to only
about $525,000.
Bishop figured that the two contracts
would cost about 100000, but the bids
might be lower, as he had tried to
make his figures cover the very out
side cost, while still making them as
nearly correct as possible.
The form of the advertisement call
ing for tenders was read. Carter asked
him during how long period he
proposed to call for tenders. Bishop
answered that he thought three weeks
would be about right.
Carter. thought it would be better to
make it not less than six weeks in
order that bidders outside the island
Of Hawaii might have better chance
to figure, Bishop suggested making it
an even thirty DAVIS The sooner the
actual construction work was started,
the better it was. The matter was left
to the discretion of the chief engineer.
