made by the Sfar-Bulletin diecloses
the startling fact tnat the present
board OF supervisors has spent $116..
0o0 more than the previous board upon
alleged improvements In the five
outside districts of Oahu.
: Though money has been poured out
lavishly upon roads. bridges, grading,
ETC., In the districts Of Koolaupoko.
Koolauloa, Waialua, Waianae and
Waimanalo, 1t Is claimed that aside
from items aggregating in worth only
afew thousand dol1ars the Democratic
board Of supervisors has nothing to
show for this tremendous amount
spent In the outside districts.
The claim IL thar the money was
spent In these districts for political
purposes-that 1t was spread around
among as many laDorers as possible
to get votes.
? On the other hand, city streets were
In desperate need Of attention while
the Democrats were spending upon the
outside districts $4,000 m excess OF
what the previous board had spent.
According to the city hall figures,
In the district of Koolaupoko alone
the Democratic board has spent S4s, IT'S
more than the previous board.

STRICT MARTIAL LAW is ON AT
SOUTH AFRICA

CapetoWn, South Africa, Jan. A.
Strict martial law has been invoked
by teh government to combat the
general strike which has engulfed
the Transvaal, and conditions border
on the open warfare Of the last Boer
insurrection.
The railways, whose workers were
the first to strike, are still completely
tied up. Business throughout the col
ony is at a standstill.
All meetings are prohibited and
picketing is declared unlawful. The
troops are authorized to shoot on
sight all persons found prowling
about buildings. A death penalty is
provided for all persons found with
dynamite in their possession.

the medicos to "stick together"
would result in defeat in their fight
against the new statute.
Some of the members of the Wis
consin Medical Society are back
sliding" he said. "And the fact that
health certificates can be obtained in
some quarters spells defeat for the
opponents of the law"

store to be fined for violating the
child labor law.
Through the efforts of State Fac
tory Inspector Oscar F., Nelson and
Deputy Inspector Church, J. D. Dolan
was dragged before Judge Newcom-
er on a charge of working a little
girl over eight hours. --.--
Judge Newcomer, after hearing all
the evidence, imposed a fine of SIS
and $40 costs. ..-' -.
According to the complaint filed
by the state factory inspector, S. S.
Kresge hired Viola Crast, 1885 W.
22d street. She is not yet 16. The
store hired the girl shortly before
Christmas and then made her work
over hours day for the princely
salary of rs cents day.
The second day she was at the
store Inspector Church came through
and picked her right away as under
age, although Dolan insisted that he
couldn't tell whether she was or not.
And even though at the very least
there was reasonable room for doubt
as to the girls age, the store in its
mad desire to get cheap labor had
not asked for the girls school GER

OF GENERAL HUERTA

Mexico City, AIN. 14.-General
Huerta's decree, suspending pay
ment of interest on Mexico's nation
al debt, is construed as an attempt
to bring the wrath Of Europe on the
heads of the U. S. The passing of
the periodic interest on the bonded
debt of the nation will affect French
and English financiers. Huerta is
said to reason that the financial diff
culties of Mexico may be traced to
non-recognition by the U. S. and if
the European countries can be hit in
their pocketbooks, they will naturally
blame America, Huerta thinks.
