BONDS ARE NOT .

SAYS STAINBACk
Attorney-G General Advises Pay

LEADS TO HIS DECISION
Mainland Opinions Are About
Equally Divided, Hence the
Negative Opinion

Payment of contractors by territor-
ial bonds instead of cash is Of doubt.
full legality, and Attorney-general ].
M. Stainback, in an opinion written
today at the behest of the board Of
ilarbor commissioners, says cit would
be inadyisaDie to proceed in that
way" He thus advises against the
proposal to grant q contract for the
construction of the wharf shed at the
new Kuhio bay pier at Hilo, or for any
other harbor, wharf or public improve
ment wherein the government intends
to nay the builders out of the new
territorial bond issue instead of by
money.
The law requires that the bonds
shsll be disposed of by sale. The
query which had been submitted to
the attorney-general was whether the
barter of bonds in exchange for public
improvements could be deemed legal
sale. Mr.. Stainback says that in the
records he has thus far discovered
the opinion of mainland courts appears
about equally divided; yet the pro-
cednre is subject to serious question.
eIf the legislature had intended hat
the contract price of any improvement
might be paid in bonds" says the at
torney-geHeral's opinion, there is no
reason why the intention should not
have been declared, as was done in
Act 131, session laws 1913, providing
for street improvements. Page 1913,
section IL of said act provides that,
Bonds so issued may be used by
the supervisors at par to pay the whole
or any part of the contract price OF
any improvement made as aforesaid,
or in the event that such bonds are
not so used, they shall then be sold to
the highest bidder or bidders there
fore, and the proceeds thereof
shall be SO applied"
Attorney-general Stainback states
that a number of other serious OBJ
jections to the harbor commissions
plan arise Assuming that the board
intended to call for tenders upon a
basis that payments were to be made
in territorial bonds, he says these OBJ
jections render sach action of doubt
full legality. He says:
"Disposing of bonds by issuing them
to contractors in lieu OF money pay
ments could not be called sale by
public advertisement for tenders. Con-
sequently, the sale (if such it could
be called) would have to be at a
figure above the last sale which in this
case was par. It is clear that the al
most inevitable result of paying con-
tractors in government bonds instead
OF money will be that the contractors
in making their bids in effect will dis
count the bonds.
In other words, the practical re-
suit will be that the bonds will be
sold below par. Few, If any, of the
contractors could take the bonds SIM
ply as an investment, but would have
to arrange to dispose of them prob
ably at discount to investors. In
making their respective bids the con-
tractors would have to take into con-
sideration the price they could obtain
for the territorial bonds and mark up
their bids accordingly.
Then, too, another factor to be con-

Standing the table with fine instrument in his

at the side of the curb, and was driven off. Knox
glanced at his watch and turned up St. James'S

mediately afterward was shown into the presence
of Adele de Hagen She was alone in wonderfully
furnished little boudoir hung with light blue silk and
family redolent of the perfume which he already
associated with her. She was dressed very simply
and she had apparently been resting. She did not
rise from the sofa as he entered, but held out her
hand
How very nice of you, Mr. Knox" she said
softly. "You have seen your uncle, then?'
Il met him ten minutes ago" Knox replied,
"and here am"
1t is positively gallant of YOU she declared,
drawing herself up to a sitting position. Please sit
down, won't you? There cigarettes at your
elbow, and they will bring some tea directly. What
a dear, ingenious old gentleman your uncle is!
I thought you'd like him" Knox remarked, a
little grimy.

He waved his stick Knox crossed the
road obediently
"A most opportune meeting, my dear AlgernOn,"
his uncle declared. "Ony last night was entrusted
with a message to you from very charming young
lady"
"Sounds hopeful" Knox remarked blithely.
Name, please"
"The young lady's name his uncle continued,
"was Miss de Hagen! | found her particularly
charming young person"
Knox looked at his relative for a moment with
inscrutable CountenanCe
where did you meet her?' he cnquired.
"At the Austrian Embassy" Lord Tamworh
replied. She asked me at once you were not my
nephew.
did you talk to her long, sir2"
"For some considerable time, Lord Tamworh
admitted with an air of self-satisaCtion. Il
found her most attractive, not to say intelligent"
"Do you know anything about herr"
"You mean her family and antecedents? Moth
ing. must confess that felt some slight curiosity
| understand that she lives alone in Berkeley
Square"
"Talk politics at alp" Knox asked
eve skirted the outside edge of various topical
questions" Lord Tamworth confessed. Il found
her very anxious to learn my opinion upon certain
questions OF international politics. A very intei-
gent young woman with a distinct craving for in
formation"
"That's her profession Knox remarked grimy.
"You see, she's an Austrian spy"
Lord TamWOrth froWned at his nephew
"You are joking, Algcrnon.'
"Word of honor Knox declared. "To tell you
the truth, have had one little bout with her already
What was the message
Nothing unfriendly,' Lord Tamworth FASTENED
to assure him. "On the contrary she begged me to
say that she wished particularly to see YOU She
said that she would be at home any afternoon this
week from four till six
"To see me?' Knox repeated thoughtfuly
CHOW | wonder what that may mean"
"She did not explain. But, Algernon," Lord
Tamworth continued little uneasy, "a propos
of your-er- charge against this young lady, are
you certain OF what you say? She seems intimate
with many notable people. Don't you think that
there is a certain amount Of eXaggeration in your
statement?
"Not in the least Knox asserted 81 don't know
much about her myself but am told that she hates
England and English people She has been con-
cerned in little plot that know Of, which, if it
had come off, would have left us in a nasty mess
l can't understand what she wants to see me for"
"Wel, you had better 90 and find out" Lord
Tamworth suggested. Present my respectful COM
phments and assure her that before many days are
passed shall venture to pay my respects"
"I'll tell her" Knox promised, "but you be
careful, uncle. Your too much 81 a ladies man to

the slightest grudge. You were horribly clever,
and was completed OutWitted."
1t was De Brinault who was clever" Knox re-
piled. 81 simply did as l was bidden"
"You made love to my substitute extremely
wei" Miss de Hagen murmured
Her likeness to you, Knox pointed out, "was
sufficiently inspiring"
Miss de Hagen laughed softly
81 don't think" she said that could ever trust
a man who paid compliments with such facility"
Compliments imply eXaggeration," Knox pro-
tested. 81 was speaking the truth"
She was silent for a moment. Her blue eyes
rested little Curiousy upon his
"Wel, she said you broke up very wonderful
friendship Do you know that UP to this day
Prince Meinoff does not trust me? He listened to
my story Of what really happened and his behavior
was perfect, but he didn't believe word of it"
"Then he deserves" Knox declared, "to lose
your friendship"
A servant entered with tea, and they talked
lightly during its arrangement. When they were
alone however, she mOtiOned him to sit a little
nearer to her.

She nodded
He prefers to call himself nihiIst"
"What about him"
She leaned little forward.
He is in London now"
How do you know" Knox asked
She shrugged her shoulders.
Il have advices from the Austrian police" she
replied Il have had them quite privately. |

to pass on the information to Scotland Yard |

Knox was suddenly thoughtful The expression
upon his face was totally blank He polished his

right-hand side you enter, Ndisky goes to Mon-

recognize him if you have any of his por-

feet almost of a woman"
He's nice sort of fellow to be going about the
streets of London" Knox remarked eff all that

very long he will have deserved it more than ever.
You know he has always escaped absolute con-

refugee they won't give him up here But if what
