Hon. L. A. Simpson. of Dick
inson, former state senator of
Stark County. has formally an
nounced himself as a candidate
for Congress from the Third
District. Mr.. Simpson was a
candidate two years ago and re-
ceived the highest vote at the
primary election. but on account
'cf the second choice feature Of
the primary law at that time. he
was defeated by F. D. Norton on
second choice votes. Senator
Simpsons popularity is best
shown by the fact that in Stark
county two years ago he received
every vote in his county except
about 75-and With four candj-
dates in the field against him. He
was state senator from Stark
county for wears without opposi-
tion. Dickinson and Stark coun-

Litigation Over
The City Books
M. A. Egan, Former City Audi
tor, Refuses to Give Up Rec
ords to His Successor, Harry
Burt, Who Has Qualified and
Is Now Acting City Auditor.
Case Instituted Against Mayor.

AS stated in these columns last
week, M. A. Egan was removed
from Office by Mayor Brinton
and Harry Burt appointed as city
auditor in his stead. Burt quail
flied and made demand upon the
former auditor for the city rec
ords last Thursday and the latter
refused to turn them over and up
to the present time holds pcs
session of a greater part of the
city records.
Prior to Egan's dismissal the
mayor took several city records
to his office for inspection. with
the permission of the then city
auditor. Later Egan was dismiss
ed and Burt appointed, and the
books which the mayor had
were turned over to the new audi
tor. The cid auditor then made
a demand upon the mayor for
the return of the borrowed books
to him and the demand was re-
fused, with the result that Egan
commenced a civil action for the
possession of the records in oues-
ton. Through Keohane. Call
agher & Jones the former audi
tor sued the mayor for 5000
damages in a claim and delivery
action. and Sheriff Madison, and
Aldermen kastien, Jepson and
Mathison called upon Mayor
Brinton and made demand for
the books which was refused.
The case was set for hearing last
Monday before Judge Rosenberg
and that morning. before the
hour set for hearing, the plaintiff
made a motion to dismiss the
case, the entire procedure being
a bluff.
At the present writing the for
mer auditor still has the greater
part of the books and legal steps
will no doubt be necessary to
make him deliver the books to
new auditor.
The next meeting of the coun-
ell will be held next Monday
evening and it will be called be-
fore the new auditor, Harry Burt.

Most important and one tha'

that for women suffrage. The
suffrage movement differs from
other amendments of the consti-

able action by only one legis'a-

require favorable action by two

MAUI FINISHED

Wilson and McCandless, who have
been at work on the saveral mile Sec
tion of the belt road from Nahilu to-
wards Keanae for over a year, have
finally completed their job and the
work will probably be taken OF their
hands next week, says the Maui News.

Public Works Forbes will arrive on
Tuesday TO inspect the work, in com,
pany with the members of the loan
fund commission, under whose direction
the contract was carried through. The
board of supervisors may also go over
the new road at the same time.
II is reported that the new piece OF
work is an excellent one though of
no benefit TO anybody, since il ends In
the bottom of a wide guleh, in the KoO-
lau forest reserve, miles from any per-
manent habitation. The cost Of this
new section was something like $4,000,
and was paid for from territorial
loan fund, authorized several years ago,
About $l35,OO0 additional authorized
by the Legislature at the time, had been
planned to carry the road into the Kea-
nae Valley, but any further expendi-
ture on this road has been disapproyed
by Governor Pinkham, so there Is no
likelihood whatever that he road al
ready built will have any real value
for good while to come. ~, Ak
The road is carried along the noun
tain side, several thousand feet above
the sea level, and close below the
famous Koo!au Ditch trail, and through
one of the most spectacular scenic sec,
tions in the Territory. Owing to the
almost constant rain in the district, the
contractors had TO contend with serious
difficulties in carrying through their
job. :. ...."7.sig ~
