Supervisors who believed the fight
with the superintendent of public
works, John w. Caldwell, over the
water bills was at an end came to the
conclusion yesterday afternoon that
they were much mistaken, for Cald-

that Caldwell had Instructed the terri

money from the city and county taxes
to cover the water bills, or the bal
ance due on them, which amounts to
$4097 80. ID +.
Il have this day requested" writes
Caldwell to the city fathers, "the
treasurer of the territory of Hawaii
to withhold from any future taxes

Of the water bill, which in total
to about $4,000, and upon
which many a hot word has been said,
$3236 has been paid and $1164 is being
now. The amount of the
bill which has not so far been paid is
for water furnished for power pur-
poses or for fire hydrants, and a
question has been raised as to the liza
bility Of the city on these claims
They were referred to a committee to
look into the question of the city and
liability for report out. The
report is expected soon.

PAN COAST
TRIP in 1915
IHU

Following In the wake of the Ad
Clubs recent decision to take steps
toward pirate invasion of San Fran
cisco at the time of the exposition in
1915, comes the Fumor that the local
Japanese business men have under
investigation a scheme which, IL car
ried out, will result in a monster ex-
cursion of local sons and daugh; ;ers
of Dai Nippon to the coast city to
visit the fair.
According TO information given out
this morning, the excursion plan had
its origin In Hilo where, it is
said, the merchants have been con-
tributing to q general fund for the
past three years to finance the trip.
Whether they plan to charter vessel
or secure accommodations on one Of
the regular liners is not known. but
it is believed that they will eventu-
ally cooperate with the Honolulu
merchants in order to make the ex-
cursion a big booster undertaking.
The story of another excursion
which, although not local, would Gre
ate considerable interest here If car
ried out, is told as follows in a Yoko-
hama newspaper:
Early next year a party of 1000

OF this fact, IT is believed that 1t would
be a distinct advantage to all con-
cerned to reduce the minimum height
of cavalry horses to IA hands 3 inches,
instead of Is hands. as now provided.
This is not understood TO recommend
the indiscriminate purchase of small
norses, but on account of the particu-
lar conditions and the needs OF the
service and the animals available, 1t is
thought that future boards, in pur-
chasing horses for the cavalry and
infantry branches of the service,
should be given the option of accept
ing horse not less than Ia hands 3
inches, provided il has special quali-
fications otherwise. The 4th cavalry
and the Ist field artillerX are both
very short OF horses, and while 1t is
understood that the number required
for fully eQuipping these regiments
are being purchased in the United
States, 1t Is thought that the number
of horses of each type which could
probably be purchased In these islands
at the present time should be known" :"
