NATTER STILL
IS UNDECIDED

What action the United States army
engineers will take in regard to the
Hilo breakwater, work on which has
been suspended, is not known here at
the present time. Major w. p. Woot-
en-, in charge. of rivers and harbors
work in the islands, has come to no
decision in the matter. and is waiting
for advices from d. E. Metzger, local
superintendent for the contractors, the
Breakwater Company of Philadelphia,
who is now in the east, comforting
with his principals.
''The reason that work has now
been stopped on the breakwater, /"
said Major. aWooten this morning, "is
that there is no rock for the slopes
that comes up to the specifications
We allowed the core to be extended
out 800 feet, but do not care to have
1t go out further without protection
of the heavier rock for slopes and
cap, as heavy, storm might cause
damage The contractors seem un-
able to get suitable rock from their
quarry. i have not decided what ac-
ton to recommend in case of an ex-
tended delay. There are two courses
open to the United States, should the
contractors abandon the contract, or
should the government decide TO can
eel it for any good reason. One
would be to re-advertise for bids. and
hold the bondsmen of the present con-
tractors responsible for the difference
between the original contract price,
and that of the new contract, should
it be on the high side. The second
course would be for the army engi-
neers to do the work, and charge the
bondsmen for any excess in cost over
the present contract figure. In either
case the Breakwater Company of
Philadelphia would be paid for the
amount of work already completed"
The contract of the sBreakwater
Company of Philadelphia for the SUI
perstructure of the Hilo breakwater is
50. IL per ton, which amounts to
about $4,000 for the job. The
American Surety Company, of New
York, is on the contractors bond for
$225, 900.
1t is. rumored in local business cir
cles that the lack of rock is not the
only difficulty which faces the con-
tractors.

Man is marsupial, and herein he is
broadly distinguished from woman.
Nature has provided man with pockets
in his trousers, his waistcoat and his

same, some men having, in the aggre-
gate, twelve distinct pockets, great
and small, while others have only
eight or nine But man totally with

About the eighth year male child de-

the fourteenth year that the small fob

The appearance of the pistol pocket
and the two coattail pockets Is usually
synchrOnous with the cutting OF the

reached maturity the normal develop

That the democratic party has the
courage to try to solve the di--culties
confronting il, is evident by haste
with which the administration, sup
ported by the democratic majority in
congress are pushing the tari- and
currency reform bill. This measure
was prepared by Senator Robert L..
Owen, and introduced into the senate
by him, and also in the house by Rep

out of the hands of financial interests

reducing the appropriations, backed
the AMENDMENTS to sections 9 and 81
OF article tx. This is an unfortunate
statement on the part OF the colonel
and must necessarily destroy the force
Of his lamentations. TO be plain II Is

strained to believe that It is knowing

Mr. Henshaw worked with me in pre-
pairing and passing these amendments.

Of t,.t,sl amendments also. The colonel
also knows, or has reasons to believe,
that Mr.. Henshaw and Mr.. Watson
both have the interests Of the commis-

could, and the colonel must know that
neither Of these gentlemen have sold
ont 10 the corporate interests that he
so laboriously attacks. Colonel Love
knows that fought for his depart
ment in the committee on appropria-
tions. He was present in the senate
when stood on the floor adm offered
amendment after amendment to raise
the appropriation for his department.
hence am constrained to conclude
that the colonel is dealing in lot Of
demagosery and is appealing 70 ignor-
ance, crediting the public with being
unfamiliar with the facts and too dull
to become informed before August 6.
eThe trouble with Mr. Love is that
he does not believe the people are cap

soDplz REPLIES TO LOVE-

Two members Of the state corpora
tion commission, Messrs. Henshaw
and Watson. are supporting the pro
posed amendment to article 3 section
bit CO.. Jack Love has recently
taken up the cudgel against it. The
arguments advanced by the latter
we're answered a few days ago by
state Senator Roddie. as follows:
First Colonel Love starts out by
charging that the power that got 1t
through the legislature used under
hand methods and sought in every way
they could conceive to discredit and
cripple this commission The facts
are Commissioner Henshaw together
with myself prepared the amendment
to section Q and also prepared the one
Of section 81 know that no inn
proner influence was brought to bear
upon mesto get me to introduce either
one Of these propositions. ! am con
yinoed that no improper Influence was
brought Ia bear upon Mr. Henshaw to
get him to back either or both of
these propositions. We did this be-
cause we realized that the state Of
Oklahoma needed this kind Of legisla-
ton to assist in its development. The
supreme coart Of the United States
has held that the corporation commits
sion. acting In conjunction with the
Interstate Commerce Commission can
do anything with the railroads in this
state SO far as regulating the rates
and handling the business Of the COM
panies are concerned. / have heard
Mr.. Love say repeatedly that II all the
railroads in oklahoma were under one
management they could reduce rates
considerably in this state through
+ their power and authority to regulate
tie same. 1t comes with poor grace
Tor one so pre-eminently identified
with the regulation Of rates and the
control Of railroads to belittle the de-
partment OF state OF which he is the
head BY saying that it win destroy the
usefulness Of his department when il
confers additional authority upon it
such authority that they cannot anc
win not exercise to the detriment o.
the people.
Second, Mr. Love says 1t Is such
piiy that the constitution makers gave
the legislature the right to amenC
some sixteen or eighteen sections o
article OF the constitution. Th'
4 colonel seems to be somewhat disaI
pointed that the legislature has no
heretofore destroyed these provision
of the constitution since in his est
nation the legislature has been thol
oughly dominated by corporate intei
ests.
