new PLUMBING Law ATTACKED

"a No sooner is the new plumbing ordinance
to repeal it. Last night an ordinance knocking
out the measure passed only few weeks was
presented to the board and will he discussed at
the next meeting, February 13. The old .conten-
tien that the ordinance cratCs plumbing mo-
Ropoly and is blow To the poor man is again
brought up.
The last board passed this ordinance after
many months of work and in the face Of deter
mined opposition. There was not noticed, how
ever, much opposition from the responsible build
ers and contractors. The enemies of the ordi-
nance say this is because the measure puts the
plumbing business in the hands eff few estab-
lished firms. Now that is matter which time
can easily prove, and the operation Of the ordi-
nance after March should quickly prove it.
The ordinance has put the city to an expense
OF some $500 for advertising. II was passed aft
er much consideration To knock it out now,
without giving It an opportunity to demonstrate
its usefulness or nnfitness, does not seem the
height of wisdom CT economy.
If the effect Of the ordinance is going to be
bad, a few weeks will bring out its weakness and
unfairness The supervisors will then be able to
Judge fairly what kind OF measure to substi-
fute To repeal a law that has had no chance to
prove itself, and for which plenty of plausible
and forceful reasons were given before it was
passed, is not course that strikes the average
citizen as particularly sound. 4ssa

ROASTS Police

Il am surprised at the police Off
GERS placing a woman under arrest
and bringing her and her little child
t. the police station in this condition"
declared District Magistrate Monsar-
rat this morning. when called upon to
PASS judgment in a case where a party
OF five persons had been arraigned on
a charge of making a loud and riotous
noise and generally disturbing the
peace.
A young Hawaiian woman. with a
mere babe Juggling at her skirts, made
a pitiful picture as she lined up in the
prisoners dock with motley assOrt-
ment of drunks and malefactors, and
she awakened the sympathies of many
in the courtroom. including Judge
Monsarrat.
The police declare that a series of
lower Queen street neighborhOod,
where the melee was in progress. Two
officers hurried to the scene and short
ly after o'clock they placed the wp-
man and four companions under ar
rest. On the stand this morning it was
declared that all parties we're much
under the influence of liquor.
The structures offered by Judge Mon
sarrat were along the line that the
woman appeared in court scantily
clothed The child, it is believed, will
be cared for by the authorities.
Three members of the party entered
pleas of guilty. In passing sentence
Judge Monsarrat gave a suspended
sentence in the case of the woman,
while the male companions were each
fined two dollars and costs. i

Building Inspector Miehlstein says in re
port that local theaters are dangerous because of
fire hazard. 1t is perhaps true that dressing
rooms and rears of stages are sometimes made
the repositories of inflammable material. 1t is
also very certain that the Honolulu theaters are
less dangerous than those of any large city on
the mainland. Few of the local playhouses have
stairways, the aisles are only slightly inclined
and the construction is largely of concrete and
metal Still, to give the maximum Of protection,
the municipal authorities, either police or build
ing inspectors, should have the right to order
reasonable changes made and the power to en-
force their orders, which, il; would appear from
Mr.. Miehlstein's report, they have not now.

FROM CAPT. HAGLUND

Honolulu, Feb. 4, 1913.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin,
Sir:-I feel that l have been mis-
represented enough in the Inter-Isl-
and controversy, and l must deny that
was in possession of Captain Tul-
let's resignation, sooner than Febru-
airy End, 1913, on which date he met
me in the evening and handed it to me
shortly before o'clock.
| make this statement in contradict
ton of the impression which might be
gained through the reading of your
paper, which stated that his resigna-
ton was dated January IS, 1913, and
would infer that l was in possession
of it from that date. Yours truly,
J. F. HAGLUND.

RAISING CITY PAY

The proposal made by Supervisor Wolter last
night that the pay Ct day laborers in the city and
county employ lie raised to 50 day has some
merit, but the move is not warranted until the
new board has given the community evidence that
itcan get better work from the laborers than past
boards have been able to get
Supervisor Wolter is perfectly correct in his
contention that thecost of living has been stead
ily going up until it has reached point where
the day laborer finds it almost impossible to sup
port himself and a family on the present munich
pal pay. On the other hand, the road depart
nent where most of the day -laborers are EN-
ployed, has been treated so long and so fragrant
III as political pasture that the municipality
has not been getting anything like value given
even in the 81 50per-day payment
In order to spread the roadm0neys among as
many voters as possible, and over as many dis.
trcts as possible it has been the habit of the city
to employ great number of men fer only part
Of month instead of a lesser number for the en-
tire month. The road department has been run
somewhat for votes instead of efficiency And as
very natural consequence the roadlaborers have
s1oafed on the job, many Of them. Supervisor
Petrie confessed to the board last night that in
N0ulc OlbtFIctSs hdueOHC SpcSllISdtly DIS
one of them, the.city is not getting its moneys
worth from the men. - .,+:.<
Laborers who will not give adequate service
to the city for $1.50 day will not give adequate
service for 81 aday. Raising the daily wage is
not going to eliminate politics from the road de-
partment, and unless politics is nearly as pos,
sible eliminated, the city will always be paying
thousands of dollars for inefficient careless hap
hazard work.
We believe that the community will back up
the supervisors in raising the daily wage if the
supervisors will go through the road department
without fear or favor and weed out the loafers
and timeservers Supervisors Wolter and Cox,
who spoke strongly on behalf of the man with a
family to feed, are right in saying that the mu,
nieipality will profit in the end if the road de-
partment is rid of the loafers and the industri-
ous, honest laborers given a wage continuously
through the month that will enable them to live
decently.
That kind of plan would result in the organ
ization and development of a corps of really
skilled road workers in each district 1t would
pay in the long run. But before the community
will indorse the raising of wages, the COM
munity would like to, see if the chairman of the
road committee, Mr.. Petrie, and his associates

EMPLOYERS IN IDAHO
LIABLE FOR DEATHS.
Supreme Court Renders Decision
That Relatives Can Collect DAM
ages Under the Law When An Ac-
cident Results in Death.

There is an employers liability act
in force in Idaho, and under it the
family of man killed through the
negligence of his employer may col
lect damages.
This point was pretty closely estab-
lished on Friday in decision hand
ed down by the state supreme court
ill the case of Catherine Chiara and
others against the Stewart Mining
company
This decision, written by Chief JUS
tice Ailshie and concurred In by Just
tice Stewart and Justice Sullivan, will
be of special interest at this time
when there is an agitation on for a
workmans compensation act or an
employers liability law.
The case that serves as the basis
for this decision arose in Shonshone
county. Chiara was knocked from
an ore car and crushed to death. His
family sued for IS, 900 and in the dis
trict court Judge w. w. Woods found
for the plaintiff. The mining COM
pany appealed and the decision rem
dered yesterday was on this appeal.
The judgment of the lower court is
affirmed.

FINGER PRINTS COUNTERFrTTED.
New Discovery Makes it Possible For
Grimes to be Placed ON Shout
ders of Innocent Men.

(, SAN FRANCISCO - A discovery
that strikes at the bottom of the fing-
er print method of identification in
use by the police throughout the
world was announced Saturday by
Theodore Kytka, city handwriting
expert, who asserts that he is able to
transfer finger prints from one OBJ
ject to another.
BY means OF Kytka's discovery,
finger prints invisible to the naked
eye left on paper or glass, may be
transferred to another object with the
end that by their means crimes could
be fixed upon innocent persons.
A former operative of the United
States secret service who expressed
doubt of the value of Kytka's dis
covery was answered when he re-
ceiyed a bloody knife blade bearing
his own finger prints we'll defined.
~ would not disclose my secret for
any consideration, Kytha declared
"It is simple process and it would
be too dangerous. Innocent men
would be sent to the gallows on what
would seem unanswerable evidence"

SUIT AGAINST THE BIG
LOST RIVER COMPANY
Suit to be Instituted by the State Of
Idaho Against the Company is Held
up Pending the Outcome of Case
Now Before Court in Frisco.

Delay on the part of the circuit court
of appeals at San Francisco to pass
upon the appeal in the suit instituted
by Corey Bros, contractors, against
the Big Lost River Irrigation COM
pany in which there is approximately
100000 at stake, has held up it was
learned from the cry best authority,
the suit planned by the state of Ida
no to recover under bond given by
the. irrigation company as guarantee
and protection against the failure to
complete the project, Until the cir
cult court of appeals passes on the
pending case the proposed suit of the
state will be withheld although the
papers are said to be prepared and
ready for filing.
The reason given for this action is
that it will require settlement Of the
pending case before the state will be
in a position to name the defendants
in the case as the Big Lost River Irri-
cation company's affairs were so in
volved because of the interests of bond
houses and trust companies that it
really is not in existence SO far as
alleged liability is concerned. At least
this Is the opinion of the state officials
are said to hold. They expected rul-
ing on the pending appeal from the
circuit court last May, but the matter
has not been passed upon up to the
present time.
Unusual interest is conferred in the
proposed action of the state to recover
under the bond for the litigation will
