city government is given in way that
is plain. The territorial government at
the present time has money on deposit
in the city banks at two per cent,
while, at the same time, the city gov
ernment has borrowed $4,000 to meet
city warrants and is paying five per
cent. on the loan. In other words, the
banks borrow money from the people
at two per cent. and lend it back to
the people at five per cent. In connec-
tion with this strange state of affairs,
Mr.. Field says: "Not until confidence
is restored between the two branches
of the government on matters of
financial policy can economical admin
istration be expected
Police Department.
The report is fairly flattering to the
sheriff and the police under their
present political status, the statistics
of arrests and convictions, fines and
costs, and such, showing that the cost
to the public is less than formerly.
Efficiency in police matters cannot
come, however, until the police force is
taken out of politics and placed on n
civil service basis, with promotion for
efficiency adopted.
A comparison of the cost of feeding
the city prisoners with that of the cost
of feeding the Panama Canal laborers
is made, the ratio being 23.7 cents per
day per prisoner to 10 cents per day per
laborer. Mr.. Field sees no reason why
prisoners cannot be fed as cheaply as
federal laborers.
An inspection of the Jail showed the
buildings, yards, cells and other places
in n clean condition. The records and
accounts are systematically and care
fully kept.
No Audit Since 1909.
In connection with the bookkeeping
of the first circuit court, the expert
announces that there has been no audit
of the clerks books since December
1909, and there was no checking up OF
the accounts when the clerk began tC
turn his funds over to the city treas
urer and consequently no chance OF
any recent audit by the city auditor
"'This is a matter" he says, "al
though involving in this instance {
small amount of funds, shows a grea
disregard for the proper checking o.
public moneys"
Fire Department,

The entire department should be "mC

ers do not appear to rightly appreciate.
Attention to this matter should no
longer be neglected, as it is false econ
omy to evade the ISSUE"
Conflicting Authority.
The report points out the certain
friction that must arise through the
dual authority of the city and Terri
tory over the streets, advocating the
placing of waterworks, sewers, plumb.
ing and all other street and city pub
lie work matters under local board of
public works, as outlined in the com.
mission government suggestion.
The question of public health is an
other in which authorities conflict, but
in this instance the expert believes
that the whole authority should be in
the territorial board of health. He
points out one present absurdity, where
the board of health calls for fshmdrket
screens before issuing licenses, while
the city can not enforce the screening
ordinance after the jurisdiction of the
market comes to it.
The Queens Hospital comes in for
o rap for keeping pay patients of the
city in the wards longer than necessary.

Queens Hospital under charge of the

Free Garbage.
The report recommends free garb.
age system, pointing out how COM
pletely the city has fallen down on its
present attempt to handle the matter.
There has not been an increase in the
garbage department for ten years,
despite the city's growth. There are
now in force seventeen different garb-
age rates. Says the report, summing
up:
"The principal feature brought out
by the study of the local garbage ques-
tion is the fact that lack of proper
consideration in attempting to keep
pace with the rapid growth of the city
has allowed system to grow up which
I;is not only excessive in cost, but ex.
tremely unsatisfactory IN the quality
of service rendered"
Road Work
The lack of any consistent road pol
icy is given as the reason why tn,
streets of Honolulu are in such baC
shape, while in analyzing the road ac
counts some astonishing figures are de
duced. Says the report:
From an analysis of disbursement
of the public moneys of the city 70

of the total government expenditures il

A Peculiar Accident.

MAIDS Raan, a farmer of Lien
township, was the victim Of a
peculiar accident, Wednesday af--
ternoon. On the farm of Mr.. R;uan
is a large rock, which has long
besn an eye--sore to the pro-
prletor. After considering the
matter thoroughly, Mr.. Raan de-
clded that the best way to get rid
OF the rock was to bury it, as it
weighs several tons and would
be hard to move. On We'd
nesday, therefore, he began an
excavation alongside and UNDER
meath the huge boulder, which,
when it had assumed the correct
proportions, he intended as the
grave OF the rock aforesaid. But
as matters turned out, it came
very near being the grave oit MAIDS
Raall. just as he was putting the
finishing touches on the excava-
tlon, he happened to glance up
and noticed that the rock was be-
ginning to slide into the hole
which up to that time MAIDS had
occupied alone. When he saw
what was happening he made a
desperate effort to get ont Of the
hole, and was pretty well toward
the surface when th, rock struck
his legs, lmprisoning him as in a
wise. MAIDS yeMed Justify for help,
which shortly arrived in the form
of the hired man, but as the i'm
prlsoning rock was too heavy for
mortal man to lift, the hired man
started off in search of other
means Of releasing the prisoner.
He went over and got Otto Olson
and while the two men were on
their way to the Raan farm they
met up with Ernest Nyberg and
John Loken, travelling in an auto
mobile. They enlisted the SER
vices of these gentlemen and
lhef machine, and, by the adrOlt
and intelligent use of the auto
mobile Jack" :" they soon had
the big stone lifted far enough
off from Mr.. Rams legs so that
he could pull himself out of his
perlous position. An examina--
tion proved that no bones were
broken, although the Limbs were
badly bruised, and MAIDS will
soon be as good as new.

Addition to City Bakery.

An addition 1G by % feet, to
be used as a store room. is being
built on the rear of the building
occupied by the City Bakery. this
week. A concerto basement
will also be placed under the en-
tire building, and it will be
otherwise improved. The business
of Messrs. Morrill, & Mahoney has
increased so rapidly that they
have found it necessary to en-
large their facilities, and so the
bake shop will be doubled in size
and another oven added to the
equipment. The goods turned out
by the City Bakery are giving
excellent satifaction, which ac-
counts for the steady increase in
the amount of business being
done.

A "White Hope. +"

Sisseton has 'white man s
hope in the person of Vern
Carlberg, who appears to be con-
structed wholly Of scrap iron and
Roman punches. Vern isn't very
much for size-a leetle mite un-
der sized, in fact,-but he's right
there with the wallop. He had a
little alteration with a big geek,
the other day, and immediately
proceeded to mix things with
the large person who opposed
him. And the way Vern trimmed
his opponent was said to- be
"both beautiful and grand. =
Therefore, we insist that Sisseton
has a. white hope"- land there are
many who say they are ready to
back him against the field.

from 80 to 8 in the evcnlng.
Both ladies and gentlemen in
large numbers took enthusiastic
advantage of the occasion af-
forded them to visit the quarters
OF the new organization, and
everyone was treated in Il man
ner that did credit to the mem
bers and their ladies, and is
sure to rebound to the benefit of
the club.
The rooms were profusely dee
Grated with vari-colored carna-
tlons, and presented a charming
appearance. Each lady visitor
was presented with a carnation,
after she had registered, and
each gentleman was decorated
with a white ribbon badge, upon
signing the visitors roll. The
flower table was presided over
in the afternoon by Miss Adah
Streeter, and in the evening by
Mrs Paul Rickert, both ladies
lending grace and charm to the
occasion. trappe was served by
Misses Mollie Erickson and Irene
Gamm in a manner that left
nothing to be desired.

musical circles, which discoulsed
sweet music throughout the re-
ceiving hours.

Bad Affair in Grant County

A most unfortunate and de-
plorable affair took place in Troy
township in Grant county about
five miles southwest of Strand
berg. Sunday afternoon, which
may result in the death of Elnan-
uel Lundberg, a farmer and the
holding of John Hallquist, a
neighbor, responsible for his un-
timely death. Hallquist struck
Lundberg over the head with
a piece of board or club Of some
sort, rendering him unconscious,
in which condition he renamed
for several hours, and what the
final result will be is not yet
known.
The affair was the outcome of
a dispute over some sheep.
Lundberg is in a hospital at
Madison, Mimi, and Hallquist is
in Jail at Milbank.

Disgraceful Occurrence

A disgraceful occurrence is re-
ported to have taken place in
this city one evening recently,
when a young girl was enticed
into house and compelled to
submit to the painful indignity OF
horse-whipping at the hands of
another girl, the grievance Of the
latter girl being that the former
is keeping company with a young
man in whom the latter claims
to have some sort Of equity. 1t
is understood that no complaint
was made to the authorities, and
no arrestshave. been made in con-
nection with the assault.

LOST AT SEA
Roberts County Man a Passenger
on the Ill--Fated Titanic

That Roberts county has paid
her share of the toll eXacted by
the sea at the time of the terrible
disaster to the steam ship Titanic
there can be no. question.
John Eckstrom, a prosperous
farmer who lived four miles east
OF Ellington, was a passenger on
that ill-fated boat, and the sea
claimed him as victim when
the battered hulk of the big ves-
Sci went down off the coast of
Newfoundland on Monday morn
ing, April 10.
Mr.. Eckstrom left last fall for
a visit to his old home in Sweden
intending on his return to bring
his aged father over to this coun-
try with him. 1t is known that
the two men took passage on the
Titanic, and as nothing has been
heard OF them since the wreck of
the vessel, there is scarcely
doubt but what they were among
the sixteen hundred persons who
persisted at that time.
The missing man is survived
by a wife and several children,
as we'll as three brothers, Oscar,
Fred am Gus Eckstrom, ALL of
whom reside in Roberts county.

ROosEVELT's HYPOCRISY
Finn, Worst Boss Pennsylvania
Ever Had, His Friend

Theodore Roosevelt would shame
the state of Pennsylvania by
placing at the head of the re-
publican party in that state VIM.
Flinnn of Pittsburgh, who:
/. Tried to make deal with
Matthew Stanley Quay to turn
over all legislative officers and
ali delegates to conventions in re-
turn for protection Of his private

more than $21 100000, and who
3. Was driven out of power in
an uprising of the people in 1901
In 1904 Theodore Roosevelt
tried the same thing in the state
OF Delaware. -Four Years before
the notorious "Gas" Adlicls. was
unceremoniously cast out of the
republican national cci,vul.tivn in
ST. Louis at the suggestion OF
William Mckinley, president of
t!.e United States. i''our years la-
ter. Theodore Roosevelt besides
deliberately loading up the de'e-
cations from the southern states
with federal office holders in a
shameful manner. made deal
with Addicks and had his delegu-
tion seated in the national con-
vention at Chicago, despite the
bitter protests of the decent peo--
pie of Delaware. That was the
last victory Addicks ever won amy
wh@le. The chairman ol The
ere dentials committee who seated
Ado 'cks at Roosevelt 5 request
was L. E. McComas, OF Maryland,
Whom Roosevelt subsequently,
made a judge OF the federal
courts.
The hypocrisy Of Roosevelt is
shown absolutely by his crooked
political deals. HIS record shows
he will stoop to anything to gain
his personal ends.

a man who can hold his own
in debate and parliamentary rules
as well as being a man of broad

easily have been a serious con
flagratlon. last Saturday night.
through the watchfulness of A A
Peterson, manager Of the Golden
Rule Clothing Co. Just before he
closed up for the night, Mr.
Peterson decided to look around
and see if everything Was all
right-and it was a lucky thing
he did so. In the tailor shop.
which is located on the second
floor, he found that the current
had been left on the electric iron
and that necessary adjunct to
pants pressing was growing hot
ter every minute. If Mr.. Peter
son hadn t made the rounds, a
fire would have undoubtedly been
started i'll a very short time. and
there is no telling what the ex-
tent OF the damage would have
been.

In the face Of the criticism of

pointed out that the life boats
upon the transports of the Ameri-

as upon privately owned vessels.
Congress has taken cognizance Of
the fact that internal cooperation
