PACHECO TELLS
OF GOOD DEEDS
OF CITY DADS
HaIts Proceedings Twice to
Make Neat Little Speeches
on Administration Policy

Bills and payrOIls largely occupied
the supervisors attention at the noon
session OF the board today, though
time was taken out twice TO listen to
neat little speeches by NJ. c. PaCheco
ON the subject OF administration pol
icy.
Fire Chief c. II. Thurston submit
ted his estimate Of the department
probably expense for water and sew
ers for the half.year ending June 80
next. He figures the total at $323.2o.
This is several hundred dollars less
than il cost the city and county be-
fore the water and sewer department
was turned over to the county by the
territory.
Supervisor Pacheco arose once to re-
mark at length that, whatever the
dearly beloved pubic had done to the
present board at the last election
and Heaven knows the electorate did
enough-the board had done better
by the public the last two years than
any other administration had done-in
the matter of lighting. Pacheco recit-
ed figures to prove his contention and
his fellow members agreed heartily
with him.
AS a matter of suggestion to the in
coming board, though none of its
members was present to hear the ad-
vice, Pacheco arose somewhat later
and urged that the supervisors give
a thorough test OF the law which per-
mits the city to compel property-own-
ers to build curbs and keep their side
walks in repair. II is too late for the
present body to do that, however.
He cited the case of the sidewalk
in front of L. L. McCandless' property
ON Pauahi street. where he intimated
the owner had not kept faith with the
administration and suggesting that
that might be undertaken and carried
into court as a test case to ascertain
the constttutionality Of the sidewalk
ordinance.

ages to a woman who. was Injured by
an ill-kept sidewalk" said Pacheco,
land the city faces another claim Of
$500 from another woman similarly
injured, who may take her suit into
court. If the city is to be responsible
for the condition of the sidewalks and
the owners are to keep them up, the
city should have the right to compel
such upkeep., But We. have had con,
siderable difficulty In this. The peo.
pie don't want to keep their walks in
repair. 1t seems to ME this is a mod
flied form of frontage tax, and certain
ly thus far the owners have shown
their disapproval Of it, for they don't
live up to the tenetssof the law" 4

TO RECLAIM THE
WAIKIKI SWAMPS
Continued from page one)

ton into the legislature two months
hence. The scheme in detail was ex-
planned by Superintendent Forbes TO
the harbor commission two weeks ago
and the members at that time gave ii
their individual and informal indorse-
ment.
To inaugurate the improvement Sup.
erintendent Forbes estimates not more
than $4,000 will be required from
the territory; and this money will not
be o direct expenditure, but will be-
come q part OF the revolving fund
now employed in the KewalO reclama-
ton. As one part OF the district is
filed, the money will be returned to
the territory by the property owners,
who are compelled to bear the actual
expense, and the fund will retolve
into the retaining Of another sec
ton. This process will be continued
until the entire area has been treat
ed.
The resolution which Forbes has
asked the attorney-general to prepare
and which the legislature will be re-
Quested to pass, will provide for an
additional appropriation of $3.50, 900 to
the sanitation fund, the increase to
be used for the Waikiki reclamation
Forbes already has made a tentative
survey of the district, taken sound
ings and drawn map OF the tract
showing the manner in which he de-
sires to proceed.
One of the first moves in the in
tended improvement will be the diver
sion of the stream which now flows
into the ocean between the outrigger
Club and Moana Hotel. Forbes
scheme is to turn fits course Eva.
ward on the mauka side of Kalakaua
avenue, running parallel to the high.
way to a point just Waikiki of the
junction Of the streetcar line with
Kalakaua avenue. There Ii would
cross the road under q bridge and
pass out to the sea as part OF the
Alanaio stream, which passes under
the street to the ocean at that point.
AS in the Kewalo reclamation, For.
bes proposes the material for the I'LL
be coral silt, lifted from the beach
by q dredger. He has selected a spot
Eva OF the United States reservation,
where a vast quantity Of sand and
coral can be removed inside the reef.
This area is of good size and can
be given a depth that would make II
available for shipping purposes later,
by cutting a channel through the reef
to the sea. The territory owns the
land adjoining these shadows. and in
years to come piers could be built
there. This is not part OF Forbes
present scheme, however. " a..
His idea Is that all the filing ma,
terial needed for the Waikiki recla.
nation can be obtained from the area
he has selected. Dredgers can be
put to work and the entire amount OF
sand needed to bring the swamp lands
up to q proper grade can be dug out
in a very short time. All that is not
wanted for Immediate Improvement
can be piled up on the territory's
beach land there. and then conveyed
to the swamp land as 1t is needed Tor
the filing.
superintendent Forbes figures his
plan will not prove expensive and
that, moreover. it win serve as o dou-.
BILE utility-the retaining Of the low
lands and the digging Of secondary
harbor which may be found highly
desirable In the next few years.

FRANCES BRLSCKO, ALIAS SLLVERSTELN, ALIAS
DOLLY STANLEY, JUST A ROMANTIC GIRL
BY JANE whitaker.

II II is your OPINION LudL rOuuduCS
exists only in moving picture shows
and not in the prosaic lives of work
ing girls read this story and be con-
WINGED that you are at fault in your
judgment.
Frances Briscko is girl of IS. She
is tall and strongly built. She is rath-
er pretty. Had she been well educated
she might have made a great writer
of fiction, and who knows what the
future may hold? However, in her
past she is the daughter of farmer
in Boyne City, Mich, and has hard
working, conscientious father and
mother and five brothers and sisters,
and Francis spent less time in school
than she did learning the prosaic art
of Homework and farm chores.
But even this could not kill ro-
nance. Long after the sun had gone
to sleep and the world was lighted
only by the silver dust of the moon
Frances would sit and dream and her
dreams were all of big city where
romance abounds.
She came to Chicago. She may
have secured a position, but she will
not tell. At any rate, she wearied of
being merely one of the drab crowd
and longed for the spotlight.
And so, as Dolly SilVerstein, she
dramatically declared in a restaurant
that she had swallowed poison and
was taken to the Peoples Hospital.
1t was there that we met. The ply
stefan seemed doubtful about the poi
son, but was permitted to interview
Frances, now known as Dolly.
The tale she told was pathetic.
She had plenty of money when she
came to Chicago from Detroit where
she had worked for few years. She
was an orphan, alone and friendless.
Her money was gone. Loneliness was
intolerable. She could not get work.
She had met a girl and the girl had

Then again descended intolerable
loneliness and finally Dolly visited the
girl again, wandered into the bath
room, saw a bottle labeled poison,
took a handful of tablets and then
wandered on the street.
This was quite early in the fore
noon and Dolly wandered about.
Then she met mysterious woman.
And the mysterious woman promised
her nice position if she would meet
her in the restaurant that night. But
the woman didn't come, Dolly said,
and so Dolly told of taking poison.
questioned her, but she had no
memory Of addresses or of dates, or
in fact of anything not connected
with romance, and, after making her
promise she would call on me when
she left the hospital, left, her.
/ did not hear from her. When I
called up the hospital l was informed
that Dolly had a position and for a
few weeks there was no more ro-
nance.
Then again Dolly came into the
spotlight. This time she had been
lost in the country and walked
miles and miles," but as her cloth
ing was dustless, a heartless press
and police force refused to believe
the story, though a policeman says
he helped Dolly and told her to come
to him if she needed anything again.
A few days ago Dolly again came
into the spotlight, but this time as
Dolly Stanley. She had tainted in a
restaurant, was taken to the Ravens
wood Hospital, and told of taking
poison after she had gone hungry for
days and cruel women had refused
her aid. But when her stomach was
pumped out it showed that Dolly had
not exactly starved.
She was placed in the care of Mrs.
Leonore Meder, whose sympathies
were Immediately aroused and Dolly
