MOVE MADE
FOR GREATER
WATER SUPPLY
Assistant Supt. Wheeler Takes
Up Problem in Letter to
Governor
URGES $4,000 FOR
EXPERT INVESTIGATION
Declares Present Waste from
Artesian Wells Is Criminal
and Must BE Stopped

Recommending that the governor
ask the legislature to appropriate a
sum Of $4,000 for a thorough and
scientific examination of the water
system on the island of Oahu, Assist
ant Superintendent of Public Works
Al. C. Wheeler, Under date of March
10, states in a letter to the governor
that the general artesian head on the
island is lowering, that nearly every
year irrigation restriction notices
must be posted, and that many of the
pumps are overloaded in ordinary con-
ditions of water supply. Wheeler
declares that the water works depart
ment has never had the funds to de-
wise any comprehensive scheme Of
water supply, the available funds be-
ing barely enough to cover necessary
expenditures. He recommends that a
bill be now drawn up and introduced
to the legislature giving power to the
superintendent of public works to
COMPREHENSIVE scheme out the prob.
lem of the water supply of Honolulu
for the next fifty years.
Scheme is Comprehensive.
This scheme, which would be
brought before the next legislature,
would include in its investigation:
1st A comprehensive study of the
water resources of Oahu.
End. A report as to whether these
resources can be increased by devel-
opment.
3rd A report on the exact condi-
tions Of the present department, in
cluding pumps, pipes, resources, dams
and reservoirs.
4th Means and an estimate of
cost of the transportation o. water
from resources to consumer;
9TH Estimate. of probable growth
of Honolulu in the next fifty years
Wheeler states that the territory
has men of sufficient ability to make
this report without asking the assist
ance of men on the coast The super
intendent of public works would be
able to gather from his own depart
sment full details and accounts of the
present system. He could likewise
gather from local experts such iIfor-
nation as would be of assistance to
him in making up this report.
Plan to Stop Present Waste.
When seen this morning Wheeler
pointed out in no uncertain terms
the necessity of taking steps to pre-

CONKLING URGES
STANDARDIlING
INSURANCE

Territorial Treasurer Lloyd Conk-
ling, who is also territorial insurance
commissioner, as result of his OBJ
servations of the latter branchs in
Hawaii declares that Hawaii should
stand for the writing of standard in
surance policies by thes companies do
ing business within its borders.
THE system of standard policy
writing by all means should be put
in effect here he said yesterday,
discussing his report of last week and
kindred matters. "The system re-
quired in mainland states, more par
tieularly in New York, Massachusetts
and California, should be engrafted
here. The money paid out for poll
cies here is Just as good and the
protection given to the people who
buy insurance should be just as good.
Our insurance law was passed
more as makeshift than anything
else and has been amended only once
or twieessince itssBn1 1etment. In the
states mentioned onlya these standard
policies can be written and insurance
companies Incorporated under the
laws of these states may not write
other than standard policies any
where. Such policies mus. come up
to certain standard OF guarantee:
''Furth ermore, the kind OF law
which makes it a misdemeanor 20 re-
bate in the writing of insurance
should be put into effect lere. Re-
hating part of the premiums, or re-
hating under any other guise, should
not be permitted in this or any other
community"

STACKABLE: NOW
EMERGES AS A
DEMOCRAT
Collector of Customs Smiles
When He Hears of Bourbon
Endorsements

While at least half dozen true and
tried Bourbons have gathered to the
front and center of the spotlight
clamoring for recognition as possible
aspirants for the office of collector OF
customs for the district OF Hawaii
with its very comfortable salary OF
$1,000 a year, it now appears that
there may be more than one-saddened
and chastened Democrat in the local
camp, following the award of this fat
billet at the hands of President VIII
son.
"E. r. Stackable, collector of Gus
toms for the district of Hawaii, to
succeed himself" is the slogan that
is declared to have rung out In high
Bourbonic circles at the national seat
of government.
"Your local Democrats, who would
select valiant soldier from the tanks
of the great unwashed,' have evident
ly overlooked a big bet in chalking
down their little list of eligible" was
the rather startling declaration made
by a prominent mainlander who for
the past six months has been In close
touch with political horoscopes en-

the jury in the Lee Hin Jou murder
Casa case rendered spectacular
yesterday by the claim Of the defend
ants lawyer that the defendant was
hypnotized by the man he kilIed-had
not been able to render verdict al
though closeted for over two long
hours. AS the time goes by without
verdict the strength Of Attorney
Lorrin Andrews plea that the defend
ant was compelled to commit the
deed by power greater than his own
becomes apparent and the case prom
ises to be one of the strangest ever
tried in a local court IT is thought
now that the length of time required
to render jury verdict is in favor OF
giving Jou sentence less than the
death penalty

HOLSTEIN PLANS

CHECK AUTOS
Speaker Declares Reckless Mo-
torists Endanger Lives of
Pedestrians

Auto speeders in Honolulu are to
be checked up short, with a close
rein and a stiff hand if law can do
it. The dictum has gone forth from
Speaker Holstein, of the house. and
he asserts he has the support of out.
side members of both branches. He
is now engaged in drafting a measure
which, among other things, will COM
pei motor cars to come 10 a com
plete stop instead of passing street
cars when the latter are standing at
corner.
I'VE of the country districts never
realized so fully Honolulu's lack OF
metropolitan automobile regulation
till the recent floral parade week, y
said the speaker yesterday The
number of accidents which occurred
at that time opened our eyes to the
speed fiend evil; since then we have
been marveliug that there are so few
accidents here. III.
- I'VE realize now that for the pro
lection of lives We men OF the coun
try must be severe and force proper
regulations on Honolulu The thing
that astounds us most is the way the
motorists dash around sharp corners
flash past intersecting streets and
rush at full speed past street cars
when people are alighting. :...- -.
Il am preparing a measure thai
will, if it becomes law, compel al
motorists to come to fui: stop in
stead of passing stationary street
cars at crossings; and the penalty
for the laws infringement Viii De i'm

There are few cities in the states

towns on the mainland that nave as

How Honolulans have tolerated it Sc

off at any point near where the break
occurred, the wofkmen employed on

diately threw up bank across Emma
street and headed the water down the

Aauka side Of the car line, causing
traffic to be held UP for considerable
time.

and shut off the water, and from
there went to the scene Of the acci-
dent, where, with few turns Of key,

ser which was issuing from the break

the water-works department who yis-
tied the scene OF the break this morn
ing, said that the pipe which was dam
aged, while being but an inch or so
underground, and in some places ex-
posed, was laid some twenty years ago
and was probably in such state Of
corrosion that any slight blow would
have caused break.

When the 3o-ton steam-roller used
by the city to repair the pavement on
the Emma street hill ran across an
old surface Waterman at the juno
ton of School and Luso streets at a
quarter of 8 o'clock this morning, a
column of water which gained a
height of seventy-fiye feet shot up in
to the air and for time threatened
to flood both Emma and School
streets until, an hour later, it was fi-
nally shut off at the Fort street ter
mfnal.
For the past week the city has been
at work in that section of the city, re-
pairing the Emma street pavement,
laying a new sewer, and installing a
larger Waterman to take the place OF
the old one. According to those who
were present at the time the break
occurred, the steam-roller was run up
onto Luso street, the front rollers
passing over the old pipe line and
cracking it. A short distance down,
at place where the damaged pipe
was connected with another lateral
the valve had been closed to allow the
repair of the pipe beyond the joint
There was considerable pressure in
the damaged lateral at the time OF the
accident, and the water rushed out oi

Old Settlers Reunion.

The old settlers reunion held at
Painted Woods Tuesday, the 18th
of July, was one Of the best
ever held. It also had the largest
attendance. The grove, in which
the all-day picnic was held, is
half a mile from the Painted
Woods postoffice. It is an ideal
place for a picnic and at this
meeting it was decided to have
all future reunions held here.
During the day there were horse
and foot racing, a ball game and
dancing. The entire program
was carried out as planned. Many
of the old settlers spent the
day recalling events Of the early
settlers. It was thirty-five years
ago since s. A. Peterson, s. w.
johnson, Oliver Peterson, P. G..
|Loffness, L. A. Larson and John
Satterlund settled on the land
covering eight miles along the
Missouri river, the country that
is now. known as Painted Woods.
They were the first to- farm the
land north of Bismarck; there
were a few ranches farther north.
The above named men are all
still here with the exception Of
C. Loffness, who is now liv-
ing in Missoula, Mont. These men
are among the charter members
[of the Old Settlers Association.
Many who came here since 1880.
are now members. Some of the
oldest members came here in
1869. Before the picnic wassoyer
