Mhitehouse Is Defended.

IN0llG.
Whitehouse Is Defended.
Whitehouse was championed by
Mcclellan, who upbraided those of the
beard for attacking a man who was
laid up with an accident that pre-
vented him being there to defend him
self. -.
: Although there was talk of the i'm
.propriety of attacking man when
he was absent and could not defend
himself, nevertheless Achi was at
tackled while he was absent, then
Whitehouse got his while he was alb
sent. and as Mcclellan finished in the
praises Of Whitehouse, the mayor put
in his oar and agreed with Mcclellan
that it was all wrong to denOunce a
man when he was not there to defend
himself, and at once started in to
criticise Chief Thurston as being re-
sponsihle for the big grading job at
Kaimuki Thurston was not present
either. H.: ...~
The discussion drifted to roads. and
d number of supervisors had a few
words to say in thu matter. Super
visor .P2checo also had a few words
to say along the same line. He
oEened his remarks with: "MT. May
nl and gentlemen. our road depart
n1ent is rotten, as rotten as can be.
There is too much bOozing going on
by those who should be attending 70
business: We mus see that the tax

Mcclellan replied that he did not
think that the road department was
rotten and that it was doing more
work than ever before. At this noint
Pachsco amended his remarks on the
rottenness of the road department n
the effect that the road committee OF
the board was not included n thu lash

was said in the auditors office, and

City and County Clerk Kalauokala-
nj this morning stated in answer to
question that Cook has been bidding
on city coal contracts for many
months and has been awarded con-
tracts previously.
The attention drawn to the Hardes-
ty case and the discovery that the
participation of public officials in city
contracts Obr- jobs is not confined to
him has caused much speculation at
the city haH as to how extensive
these dealings are.
1t appears that no notice has been
taken Of the law enacted by the last
legislature under the terms of which
no public official can become pecu-
niariIy interested in any way, direct
or indirect, in public contracts.
There was also some speculation
this morning as to whether or not, il

must make a living for his family and

from plying his trade.

Supervisor Samuel c. Hardesty. who
has admitted being remuneratively

He has stated that as the matter

his official capacity as city attorney,
and as the facts presented to him
then will be OF an official nature. a
statement at this time would be pre-
mature.
Though he has not applied the Har-

true that on hypothetical case, such

PUNAHOU Names
Commencement
SPEAKERS
Dewitt Alexander, Julia Camp
bell and Tang Leong Wong
Are Chosen

Since the first days of Punahou il
has been the custom of the school to
choose from the senior class, three OF
the students with the highest standing
in studies and school activities to de-
liver essays at the commencement ex-
ercises. Another year is now nearly
over and another senior class will
soon be ready to take their farewell
of Punahou. From this class was
chosen, a short time ago, eight
students who by their high scholar
ship are eligible to speak at the COM
mencement exercises. These eight
students are as follows: Dewitt
Alexander, Miss Ruth Anderson.
Douglas Baldwin. Miss Julia Camp
bell, Miss Daphne Damon, Miss Eliza
beth Pratt, Farrant Turner, Tang
Leong Wong. i
Following the old custom, these
eight students who received first
honor, submitted an essay to be de-
liyered at the commencement exer-
cises. The essays were carefully
judged and from the eight the five
best were chosen. The five best were
those of Dewitt alexander. Miss Ruth
Anderson, Miss Julia Campbell, Miss
Daphne Damon and Tang Leong
Wong.
The last decision now alone remain
ed to be decided; that of choosing the
three best speakers The question
was placed before number of compe-
tent judges and the three who were
accorded the final and greatest honor
were: Dewitt Alexander, Miss Julia
Campbell and Tang Leong Wong.
These three, at the commencement ex-
ercises, will deliver the essays which
they wrote and which were passed
by the judges chosen.
At .Punahou it is considered one of
the greatest honors which can be ac-
corded a student to be placed on the
commencement scholarship list and
to be one of the final chosen to de-
liver an essay at the exercises is the
climax. To be accorded this honor
means hard WORK from the beginning
to end of the school year. 1t is not a
question of being the most popular
student but rather a survival of the
fittest' for it is only those who work
hard that receive the honor, and those
who do, reap their rewards, in this,
the greatest honor that can be accord
ed a student at funahou.

The weather was of such a splendid variety that there was a, temptation for about everyone to get out of doors and the temptation, taken with the attractive ness of the fair, proved too much for a great many people to resist.

 From o'clock, when the gates to the grounds were opened, up to 2.30 there was an almost endless line of vehicles rolling through Brooklyn streets and highways, all fairWard- bound. Collected inside the grounds the throngs made up real fair day crowd-happy, light hearted and in a mood and with the opportunity to have a good time. They rambled through the exhibition building, out on to the track, down by the cattle sheds, peeked in at the chicks. smiled at the chick ems" Gall blue ribbon varieties), in spected the exhibits in the ladies de- partment, took a look at the fruit and vegetables, jGshed with the fallrs, at some expense inspected the herds. the ttocks and the goats, and then began their old -honing," which is always a great feature of Brooklyn fair where thousands meet friends not seen before Tor months or years
