ACTION TAKEN BY BOARD
Of HARB0R Commission

center.
The Caldwell plans were entirely dis
tinct from the plans made by the pre-
vious superintendent OF public works,
Marston Campbell. The plans of tho
latter called for streets and blocks
running well at right angles to the
wharf itself asserting that this would
make it easier for the railroad to place
its spurs and sidotracking.
The plans, which Superintendent
Caldwell showed yesterday superim-
posed on the previous plans, provide for
streets and blocks diagonal to the axis

ming in diagonal line from Front
street into the direct approach to the
wharf, few hundred yards above its
foot. II was also decided that the
$500 Appropriated for this road should
be spent in grading a sixty-four foot
right of.way from the wharf to Front
street, and then paving twcnty-four
foot area with the best class of paving
calculated to last fifteen or twenty
years, as far as the appropriation would
permit, leaving the municipality to fin
sh it, The alternative would he to
grade the entire road with an inferior
class of paving such as could be Sc
cured under the appropriation. An OK

Brown will be necessary under the
Caldwell plans and negotiations for
this will at once be put up to the pub.

! The board also took mp the question
for the paving blocks for the Kuhio
wharf, considerable discussion of the
methods of cementing being INDUCED
in. It was stated that so far ms can be
decided the principal cause of the :" OK.
plosion' Of the blocks is the melting
of the cement which runs underneath
them, forcing them up. Mr.. Caldwell
stated that new cement was being
experimental with which was too heavy
to melt in that manner and this would
probably be used, although costing ten

Privately the Republicans are saying
that the investigation will show the
charges to be ridiculous and all that.
But withai, there Is something of an
uneasy feeling, both among Republicans
and Democrats, because lobbying is such
gngery subject to handle. The sena-
torial constituencies, you know, are so
likely not to understand.

A vast deal of stuff is being culled out

But Mr.. Slagle's letter should be
considered in connection with all
the circumstances. In last Mon
days SpokesmanReyiew appeared
a dispatch from Pullman which read
III part as follows:
r. NJ. Slagle, who for a time led
the fight for a thorough inyestiga-
ton OF the college, says that he will
make no charge to the board Of re-
sents Others who are Interested
with Mr.. Slagle in demanding an iu-
Nestigation of conditions in the coll
lege, but who refused to allow the
use of their names, said that no
charge will be made to the regents,
but that all evidence will be submit
ted 10 Governor Lister. One of
these men said We do not pro-
pose giving the regents our case and
allowing them time to prepare a de-
Tense or an offset. We think that
Governor Lister Is the one to whom
all charges and ALI evidence should
be given
In the above statement is prob
ably given the real reason for the
refusal of Mr.. Slagle and his follow
ers to file any charges. They have
broadened their attack SO as to di
rect their fire against the board OF
regents as well as against President
Bryan. In SO doing they are follow
ing the plan adopted years ago, by
the foes of the college, when
they induced Governor Rogers to be-
lieye that the only way in which to
secure an honest investigation of
conditions at the college was by Civ
ing the enemies of President Bryan
representation on the board of re-
gents. In the investigation which
followed, the charges against the ad-
ministration collapsed so complete
ly that the governor quickly realized
how he had been misled and, being
brave and just man, corrected his
mistake by summary removing the
two trouble breeders from the board.
As TO the history and details of that
fiasco, Governor Lister is fully in
formed.
Honest criticism courts the light,
gossip shuns it, Weddings go about
peddling insinuations confidentially.
Men make specific charges in the
open. Real friends of the State Col
lege do not listen to, believe and re-
peat gossip derogatory to the insti-
tuition. They resent it, and demand
that the statements be either re-
tracted or proved, not confidentially,
but to the world, COnspiratOrs stab
men in the back under cover of dark
ness. Patriots fight face to face in
the light of day.
Mr.. Slagle has made in the pub
lie press indefinite but grave charges
against the administration of the
college. His duty is clear He
should either admit that he was
wrong or file specific charges and
offer his proof The regents have
given him an opportunity to do this,
but he has side-stepped. The alumni
and friends of the college now have
a right to demand that he offer his
proof. not confidentially to one man
or to a group of men, but openly to
the people of the whole state TO
whom the institution belongs.
