ness man here from Washington dur
ing the last week. Three other can

tory, states the letter, and all three

are given in the communication they
are withheld from print
The letter also carries the news
that there is a great deal Of confu-
sion on the mainland relative to the
Office that is to be filled through APP
pointment by the president. The dis
trict attorneyship is the office that
some of the candidates are of the
opinion they are scrambling for.
According to the letter referred to
there was very little talk of opposi-
ton to the confirmation of Pinkham
as governor, when that letter left
Washington. 1t recites that the, only
protest to hand at that time was bas-
edgon the fact that Pinkham is Re
publican.
The letter requests that information
regarding Pinkham be forwarded to
the capital at once.

CITY DADS To
FORCE Caldwell
TO SHOW HAND

Recommending that the superintend-
eHt of public works be taken at his
word and allowed to cut off the water
supplied to the city and county and
Incidentally branding his communica-
tion TO them in which he made the
threat. as discourteous and uncalled
for, and in general eriticizing him for
sending such letter to them, the city
fathers at a meeting this afternoon
said several hard things about Super
intendent Caldwell.
In the latter's letter, which was
read at the meeting, he stated that
unless the water bills rendered the
city, aggregating more than the sum
of $1,000, we're paid before August 20,
he would discontinue its supply, leav-
ing the city buildings, parks and
schools without water.
1T is impossible for US to pay the
bills in the time set by Mr.. Cahd-
well, even IL we had mind to-" de-
clared Supervisor Petrie
Let us call his bluff" recommend
ed Supervisor Pacheco, angered over
the missive "He has no right to send
such discourteous letter to u.s. Were
it in my power would call his bluff. I"
II feel exactly as does Mr. Pache-
CO." added Supervisor Petrie.
Supervisor Mcclellan recommended
that the matter be referred to the
roads committee and to the legal de-
partment 1t was said in this connec-
ton that they would not be able to
report until after August 20, which
would give Superintendent Caldwell a
chance to make good his bluff"
Direct accusations were also made
by the city fathers that Caldwell is
actuated by spite. The supervisors
declared that they had never attempt
ed to avoid the bills, but only wished
time to ADJUST them

To
BE TAUGHT
Use Of GAS

How TO use gas, and how to use
II to an advantage will be the first
topic in course of instruction now
being outlined Ey the Honolulu Gas
Company for the housewives of Ho-
n0lulu. The company has made the
announcement that. with a view TO
following the methods now being used
in progressive mainland cities, it has
secured the services of two expert
gas cooks, whose duties it viii be to
instruct the gas users of Honolulu
the science of economics in the use
OF that fuel
The art of cooking with the gas
range will be one of the first lessons
which the housewives of Honolulu
viii learn under the direction of these
experienced chefs. Just why the
bread hasn't come out right or the
roast of beef refused to be done to a
turn at the proper time, are prob
lens which have long puzzled the
users of gas, and these problems will
be settled by the teachers in the en-
ploy of the gas company. When un-
able to solve these problems, all the
housewife now has to do is to call
uDon the gas company, inform it of
their troubles. and there will at once
be sent to their homes one of these
experts. The experts say that with
them it is simply a matter of heat
regulation. and It bids fair to be re-
allied that within very short time
the housewives of Honolulu who cook
with gas will be soon looking forward
with pleasure to the preparing of a
meal.
Besides securing the services of
these experts. the gas company has
announced that 1t will run the gas
piping from the property line to the
meter, up to thirty feet, without ex-
pense on the part Of the consumer.
