RUDE JOLT DEALT
THE SUPERVISORS
MiIverton Says Their Appropria-
ton Bill May Be lnVaH-
dated by Errors.
{ From Wednesdays Advertiser.J }

(FrOm wednesday s AdVertlser.)
The supervisors received body blow
last night whom Deputy City Attorney
Milverton notified them that their APP
,lropTiation bill Tor the six months from
iuly to December may contain appro-
riatiOns which are invalid under the
Jaw, and the city attorney S depart
ment might he able to. find items in the
bill to render il void.
The city attorneys department has
not been furnished with copy of the
appropriation bill, which the county
attorney says he requested the county
clerk to give him. This. has prevented
the department from making the annly'
sis which might have held the measure
up until purged of the items which
make the entire bill invalid.
Had copy of this bill been fur
nshed' said Mr.. Milverton, "this de
partment probably would have suggest
| cd to the members of the board the
nvalidity of these particular items, anC
then if request had been made foi
an opinion, would have rendered it,,
| Mr.. Milverton produced mild sen
sation. The statements were made IL
a letter in which Mr.. Milverton explain
l Nu dDldltHt hthkihS VIZ thN ANNNiA
$4,000 armory appropriation which Nh
Milverton, at the last meeting of tn
board, declared to be invalid. He ex
planned that the resolution was no
his own, but that it had been rough
drafted by him at the request of
supervisor, Mr.. Murray, and while
meeting was in session, just to get
in proper form.
The draft of the resolution was turr
ed over to the clerk s Office to be type
written, and "some member of that de
partment seeing it in my handwriting
assume jumped at the conclusion tina
this department had favorably passe
upon its legality. A gratuitous effoI
was afterwards made by some one I
reflect on this department because c
what was deemed to be an inconsister
attitude"
Mr.. Milverton went on to say tha
he has been frequently asked to Civ
offhand opinions which required col
siderable investigation.

RAPID TRANSIT
MAY co AHEAD
Supervisors Indicate Willingness
to Keep Hands Off Paving
Matter in Future.
(From Wednesdays Advcrtisor.)

(From Wednesdays Advcrtiser.)
The Rapid Transit Company can go
ahead and lay wood block pavement
between its rails along King street
if it wishes to, for the supervisors will
not stop it. The supervisors have not
gone on record to that effect but
motion which was offered last night by
Murray permitting the company to go
ahead with it's wood block pavement
was withdrawn by the introducer af-
ter vigorous objection was entered
by Mcclellan.
The latter argued that if the board
went on record in this way compiled
tions might follow, Then Murray
went on to say that he wished it un-
derstood that the board was not block
ing the rapid transit in laying n wood
block pavement, although the impress
sion had gone abroad that the board
was opposed to such pavement.
Whatever the attitude of the board
may have been in the past in regard
to the King street paving by the rapid
transit, tho supervisors showed last
night that they are now perfectly will
ing to have tho rapid transit carry out
its program for wood block pavement
Almost in the same breath the super
visors voted to have the superintendent
of public works draft an agreement
with the rapid transit compelling the
latter to water "their own streets. -
This indefinite definition of what
streets are to be sprinkled may mean
that the rapid transit is to sprinkle
the area within and just outside its
rails, or to sprinkle the entire width
Of the streets over which its tracks run.

FORMER OFFICER OF
POOLAS IS ACCUSED
OF EMBEzzLEMEN7
( erom wednesday's Advertiser. }


For the first time in the history of
the Hui Kokua awe Manawalea Poola,
popularity known as Poolas, this big
Hawaiian organization of longshore-
men, which has long been a political
factor in Honolulu, has suffered de-
falcation on the part of one of its of
fcers. At least, so it declared yester-
day when Tom Pedro, member of lis
board of directors swore out a warrant
for David X. Kama, charging the en-
bezzlement of $l00.05.
Kama was once treasurer and then
financial secretary of the organization,
besides being one of its most we'll
known members. His notoriety was
sometimes obtained through the police
records, as he figured in court several
times in connection with sensational
gambling raids According to Pedro
and other officers of the Poolas, the
shortage was discovered as long age
as last August, since which time, they
declare, they have been giving Kama
a chance to square up.
Seven months, however, proved in
sufficient for Kama to make good any
embezzlement he might have committed
to the satisfaction of his Fellow mem
bers and the warrant was duly takeI
out yesterday afternoon, after the pc
1 lice had been notified of the contem
plated action in the morning.
| Kama, says Pedro, admits taking tn,
money, although he denied it at first
Since August he has been putting tn
! Poola s boollkeeper off with various eX
cuses and the axe has fallen. Sup
tpoenaed as witnesses were Pedro, Jacl
Kahunakala, the present financial sec
Rotary; President Charles Kanekoa
and T.. w. Palau.

THAT WILSON-HARVEY BREAK.
Matter Most Talked of by Political
Observation-Disclosures Issued
by Wilson's Manager.

Washington, JAN 1S-Naturally, the
most talked Of matter in Washington
today was Col. Henry Watterson's
statement in connection with the dis
couragement of the support of Editor
Harvey, of Harper's Weekly, by Candi-
date Woodrow Wilson.
The statement is unquestionaDly
damaging to Governor Wilson's boom :;
just how much remains % be seen. An
evidence of the strength of Governor
Wilson is that it is exceedingly diff
cult to get any statements from
Democrats who are known to be op-
posed to his nomination, and yet hesi-
tate to comment for publication on
this incident because they realize that
Wilson may be the nominee. Harmon
men are jubilant over the situation,
but their leaders at Washinton are
not giving out any interviews on the
subject.
There is a decided increase in vol
ume of prophecy that the Democratic
nominee will be neither Wilson nor
Harmon, but a dark horse involved in
none of the complications which have
arisen in the long contest between
these candidates.
Wilson supporters are expressiAg g
satisfaction over today's announce
ment from Senator NeWlands, of Ne
vada, who has been endorsed by his
own State and has received pledges
of support from other parts of the
far West for the Democratic nomina-
ton, that he would decline to be can
didate for the honor, but would use
all his influence in behalf Of Wilson,
whom he regards "as the man, who
above all other candidates, voices the
convictions and aspirations of the
American Democracy.

Woodrow Wilson Silent.

Detroit, Jan. 18.-The only occur
renee here today, during the visit Of
Governor Woodrow Wilson, of New
Jersey, candidate for the Democratic
nomination for the presidency, which
could be taken as referring to the
Wilson, -Watterson incident, was por-
ton of an address made at political
mass meeting tonight by Dudley Field
Malone, who is Governor Wilson, S
travelling companion, and who ad-
dressed the meeting before Governor
Wilson arrived from the Wayne Gar
dens, where he spoke to the Michigan
Press association.
Mr.. Malone said 'The newspapers
Of the last few weeks show whom the
enemies of the people consider dan
gerous. They do not bother to show it
unless they see it's worth while, and
any man who dares to attempt to per-
sonally attack and besmirch a charac-
ter so above question as that Of Cover
nor Wilson will be replied to with the
ignominy and contempt of silence
which such an attack deserves"
Governor Wilson, in his address at
the mass meeting, criticised the Re-
publican party on the ground that
it was too closely allied with "the in
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1912-01-23

terests." He advocated direct primary
nominations, even for the United
States senate, and eventually direct
election to the presidency, and de-
scribed the initiative and referendum
as gun to be used if conditions made
them necessary.
Governor Wilson late tonight de-
clined to give out any statement re-
lating to Col. Watterson's allusion. He
will leave early tomorrow for Ann
Harbor and Grand Rapids.
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1912-01-23
Powers Unknown.

Mr.. Parker at some length said that
he was surprised at the power that
he was supposed to have, and if he
really had the powers that were cred
tied to him, that it was unknown and
unused. He went on to explain that
every stockholder that had gone into
the Parker Mills company had done so
of his own free will and accord and
that there was not single stockhol
er forced into the merger and that the
rights of every stockholder had been
fully maintained.
Mr.. Parker said that it would be a
mistake to dignity a political message,
into legislative proceeding that
might be misunderstood by the bust
ness world, and but for this he would
be delighted to have an official inquiry
to forever set at rest any demagogism
that might be floating around. Busi-
ness men, he insisted, who knew what
they were talking about agreed that
the Parker mills or mergers along this
line, with ample capital, diversifica-
ton of product and the employment of
the highest class of labor, were the
only and real hope of the Southern
industry.
Mr.. Parker was followed by Mr.. H.
J. Haynesworth, who summed up the
argument briefly. It is probable that
Attorney General Lyon will be heard
previous to any final report being sub
mitted by either committee.
