DUST

The supervisor or the board OF supervisors
that will make some Intelligent move toward
ending the downtown dust nuisance is sure Of
enough appreciation to get denomination under
the new. direct primary law and probably to get
reelected
Foragood many years past the dust nuisance
has been on the Increase This summer it is un-
usually bad. About two years ago there was
hopeful talk that tho Rapid Transit company
would run sprinkler cars regularly and often
enough to do some good, but the hopeful talk is
heard no more. Meanwhile Berefania street,
King street, Hotel street and the various cross
streets are dry and dusty; most Of the time the
dust is foul and insanitary. particularly bad
state Of affairs exists on thewaterfront People
going to and from the steamers wade and grope
through dust underfoot and dust in the air. The
first and last impression of Honolulu is gained
through choking clouds of wind blown filth.
Honolulu has paid out good deal of money
for hot asphalt mixer that, according to report,
is not likely to be used The supervisors order
automobiles for official use with royal disre-
gard of bills; they hold salary embarrassing bee
in the middle of year of financial uncertainty
they propose to buy steam rollers, 'auto-garhage
trucks and ether costly-pieees of equipment.
WeAneed paved streets badly enough, but we
are not keeping clean the streets already paved.
The dust nuisance is increasing. Instead of
flushing the streets and getting the dust off,
in awhile sprinkler dawdles along and pours
water on top of the dust In half an hour the
resulting mud is dust again.
We should like to see the supervisors attack
this problem intellgently Other cities have
solved it, and it is simple. Special attention
should be paid to the waterfront streets when
steamers are coming or going.

WHAT ARE THE FACTS BEHIND THE ARMORY
ACCIDENT !?

There is enough behind the fatal accident at
the armGTy now under construction to call for an
official probe On behalf of the territory.
The architects and contractors have ex-
changed letters each protesting against the 9th
er's plans for the erection of the steel
The steelworkers actually employed on the
Job testify under oath before the coroner's jury
that they believe the pillars designed to support
the rooftrusses far toe light-so light as to be
a serious menace to safety.
The superintendent of public works SAYS that
there is no official inspection of the work on be-
half of the territory The. architects are EN-
ployed not only to draw the PLANS but for an
additional fee, TO become the supervising archi-
tects and inspect the building
Under pressure, however, the superintendent
of public works admits that he has had a special

NEGLECT OF PUBLIC GROUNDS

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin,
Sir:--Nowadays one hears so much
about the "city beautiful" and civic
improvements that are carried on by
the good citizens of Honolulu, /, for
one, believe that the territorial gov
eminent should set at least good ex-
ample for its citizens.
|. wish to refer to the dilapidated
state of the executive grounds, and
those opposite, surrounding the re-
built courthouse. The lawns of both
places are sadly in need of new soil
and few bags of fertilizer The soil
lis played out; needs refilling and re-
lplantihg badly; so that the lawns will
again be green and restfnl to the eyes.
In their present state these grounds
are disgrace to the Paradise OF the
Pacific.
Every tourist visits these highly his
torical executive aud q courthouse
grounds, and can tlhelpAbut receive a
bad impression when he observes these
weedy and worn-out lawns of our
most important public places. The
walks at the courthouse should be re-
located and properly lined with stone
curbing. AS 1t is at present. the lawn
is all trodden bare, every which way.
The vacant space on the Eva side OF
the courthouse also requires cleaning
and replanting to make it harmonious,
BY all means, let the government set
a good example and put their front
yards in shape and order.
Respectfully,
JAMES STEINER.

City and County Treasurer Charles

will take drastic steps to bring ito
time those who hold merchandise Ii
censes and who fail to renew them
and continue doing business after Aug,
1, a month from the date when the
new license fee is due.
The license fees are coming in far
too slowly now, though notified many
that we should expect the fees toward
the last of the month, he said today
Il shall be compelled to issue penal
summons as for those who violate the

Editor Honolulu Star-Bnlletin:
Sir: 1t is a great pity that the
Leahi Home should be cramped for
want of funds, and be in such destl-
tute condition. This is more especial
ly the case, when we consider that
there are men here who have gotten
rich beyond their widest dreams, and
could help to relieve this unfortunate
state of affairs without even feeling
the less of the amount that they con-
tribute.
Every man, and especially every
very rich man, must have desire to
be of some service to his fellow man,
and to do some good in the world.
The trouble is that these men have
never been brought face to face with
these unfortunates, and therefore they
cannot realize the misery. and suffer
ing of thse poor creatures, who often,
without home, friends or medical at
tendance are left alone to suffer If
not to die.
/ wish that some OF these men could
have seen the utter restitution and
the indescribable despair of some of
these unfortunate men that have come
under my notice, and l am sure their
hearts would be touched and they
would at once loosen up their purse
strings and do something to relieve
them. r" .s...
Tines are little hard, it is true,
but not so hard but something could
be done; and when for many this is
the only way they can be any good or
be of any service to the suffering, un,
fortunate and destitute men We feel

From Montgomery City comes the news that

spondent writes frorA Washington that confusion
evidently exists in the minds of the MissOurians
as to the attorneygeneral's office here. The prob
ability is that the district attorneyship and the
attorney generalship, a federal and a territorial
position, have been confused. incidentally, it is
learned that Col. Ball was Champ Clark's oppo-
nent in the congressional race last year but with
drew when the speaker failed of nomination for

steel expert making quiet investigation of the
armery job for some ten days past
Every man who has been connected with the
work and who will speak his mind admits that
there has been a serious doubt as to the safety
Of the construction work, in view Of the lightness
of the supporting pillars and in view of the meth
Cd of construction finally adopted.
Not one BldH.--no architect. steelTOrkcr on
contractor, and no officials CEILING to state
as his firm opinion that the Grm0ry job is dbs0-
mfcIy safe, that the method of construction
taking the character of the material into account
liz absolutely sound.
This is the serious part of the matter, and it
is recognized as serious by the contractors and
architects.
The superintendent of public works cannot
afford to treat the matter lightly. If he does,
Governor Frear should insist on an official in
vestigation by the territory. And in any case,
it should be insisted that when the supervising
architects make any changes in the plans or
specifications, or allow any changes in the meth
DDS of construction, those changes should be
first submitted to and approved by the depart
ment of public works. Such does not seem to
be the case at present.

LIGHTNING FROM FOG BANK
Captain Of Pacific Coast Schooner
Tells Of Strange 5ombardment
Of His Vessel.

Capt A, Sunderberg Of the steam
schooner Wasp, which plies between
Seattle and California ports. reports a
strange experience al sea on August Z.
In a report made to the Hydro
graphic office Captain Sunderberg
says that at 10 p, m, when six miles
east by south of Point Conception,
his vessel ran into a thick fog bank
which hung close to the water.
Without the fog rising in the least.
q violent electric storm broke out, and
for n hour and IA minutes the blan-
ket OF heavy mist was pierced contin-
ually by discharges Of atmospheric
electricity and vivid flashes Of angular
zigzag and forked lightning. At 1915
q. m, August S, the steel foremost OF
the Wasp became charged with cleo
tricity from the top down to the spring
stay. Captain ~Sunderberg says this
was not the usual display OF st. Elmo
IRE, as the mast gave out loud reports
as II from a powerful wireless appara.
tus.
While the vessel was bombarded BY
lightning which coursed down her
main mast, her officers and crew did
not venture on deck.

When the Tramp Fled.

and told a story to back the assertion.
Two men were having a ~fraternal
talk recently, and during the gabfest
one Of them told Of his experience

He came to my house." said the
man, banged on the kitchen door,
walked in and demanded something to
eat. Right there l decided to give him
the scare of his life. Going into the
next room l liberated the alarm clock
in pretending to call up the police sta
ton and told the imaginary man at
the other end Of the imaginary wire to
hurry an officer down to arrest q
tramp. When l returned to the
kitchen the hobo was gone"
He was gone, eh?" laughed the
other, who in fancy could see the
tramp beating it down the alley.
