The lads loved her, and saw that in

Complains OF
DUSTNUISANCE in king Street

Again the supervisors were obliged
to face the dust problem at their
meeting at noon today. Again COM
plants were read against the dust
nuisance of the cily, and again it was
strongly urged that immediate
steps be taken to abate the dangerous
nuisance. The subject came before
the meeting in letter addressed by
J. M. Riggs, speaking for the Pacific
Guano & Fertilizer company, to the
city fathers.
Asserting that the company has
waited six years for repairs to be
made to King street, Notwithstanding
that the concern had given deed Of
gift to the city and county to strip
of land along the front of its property
with the understanding that King
street was to be Immediately re-
paired; and that the dust nuisance in
the vicinity is now SO bad that it is
impossible at times to do the neces-
sary Office work. Mr.. Riggs renewed
his plea for protection against the
dust

&. Q. I. LEADERS TO MEET AND
REVISE PARTY REGULATIONS

Republican party leaders are being
called together for a conference in
Honolulu by Chairman Robert w
Single of the Republican territorial
central committee The conference
will take up the matter of revising
the party rules. drastic changes being
necessary since the enactment of the
direct primary law by the last legis.
lature.
Letters are, going oul to the other
Islands today and tomorrow, request
ing the attendance of party leaders
and members of the territorial execu.
tive committee. The date of the con
ference viii depend somewhat upon
the replies to the letters, but it is
likely to be held either next Saturday
or a week from next Monday or Tues
day. The Republicans viii arrive by
the Saturday boat from Hawaii and
Maui and by the Sunday boat from
Kauai and need remain here but a
short time.
The Republican county committee
of this island has named a special
committee consisting of Walter
Coombs, chairman; Clarence Crabbe
and John H Wise, to discuss with tho
territorial committee the question oi
rules revision and, now Chairman
Shingle is endeavoring to get senti
ment from party leaders throughout
the islands as to the details OF
changes apparently made necessary
and other changes deemed advisable
Numerous questions have already
arisen. One of those considered most
important is as to what part the party
organizations, the territorial and
county committees. shall play before
the primaries, whether they shall
use their influence TO see that strong
candidates are nominated.
Another question is as to the for
nation of the territorial and county
committees, for which no provision is
made under the new primary law. In.
asmuch as the direct primary law is
planned to do away with conventions,
where the central committees have
previously been chosen, the question
of forming the committees under the
present law must be solved.
Other ques lions arising relate to
the collection and expenditure OF
campaign funds, the organization ot
platform committees, the placing OF
the new primary law before the peo
pie and general discussion of party
welfare

that he hopes to have good repre-

NOTABLE HAWAIIAN
SECURES DIVORCE
AT RIPE OLD AGE

Charles Kaiaiki, seventy-five years
old, this morning obtained divorce
from his aged wife, Kahalepaiwi Kaia-
Xxi, whom he accused of desertion.
Kaiaiki, who is coffee grower of
K5na, Hawaii, is known throughout
the islands, as one of the retainers
of King Kamehameha Nv and of King
Kalakaua, and is said to be one of the
best-educated Hawaiians in the terri
tory Ill. 5..a.
He accompanied Queen Kapiolani
and Liliuokalani. who was then a
princess, to Queen Yictoria's jubilee
in London in 1887, and on other occa-
sions, as member of the royal Ha-
waiian party, visited and sojourned
in nearly all the countries of Europe
and Asia. AS retainer he also accom-
panied them on visits to various parts
of North and South America.
"Oh yes, maybe l get another wa
hine bye-and-bye," he laughingly re-
piled this morning when asked If his
divorce might be taken as an augur
of further matrimonial ventures.

The letter was referred to the road
committee, Supervisor Petrie being
the chairman. He made no comment
on it.
Following is the letter:
"Your attention is called to the
large amount of dust which blows
from King street into our Office at
Kalihi, it being almost impossible at
times to use our books on account of
the large amount of dirt which comes
through the doors and windows. This
nuisance has continued for years, and
we feel that some steps should be
taken to abate 1t. Five or six years
ago, when we decided without com
pensation, to the city and county OF
Honolulu, strip of land extending
eighteen feet in depth along the front
of our property on the mauka side of
King street, we were promised by the
board of supervisors that the roadway
would be Immediately repaired and
put into condition. After waiting sew
eral years one side of the road was
completed and the other side is still
waiting your attention this after a
lapse of six years.
1--WE feel that, as we pay on the av-
erage of $4,000 a year taxes, our re-
quest should have careful considera-
tion, and be complied with. This dust
nuisance is so great at times that we
are compelled to close the doors and
windows of our Offices and dwelling
houses, in order to have any degree of
comfort. We trust that you will see
the justice of our request, and that
some immediate steps will be taken
to comply with same.
