New Contract Between U. S.

Rumor That HiIo Railroad Co.,
and Lord Young Firm Have .
An interest in the Job

That work is to be Immediately re.
sumed on the Hilo breakwater, under
a new contract between the federal
government and George e. Marshall,
a local contractor, Is the word that
reached here this morning when the
Matsonia docked, with several princi-
water Company of Philadelphia fell
down on its contract to construct the
superstructure of the breakwater,
when 1t was unable to place the g.
ton rock required for the cap and
slopes. To date the American Surety
Co., bendsmen for the original con-
tractors, have been held responsible
by the government, but now, accord
ing to those interested in the deal,
the government has entered into o
new contract with Marshall, to com
plete the work at the original con-
tract price Of $2.19 per ton.
Marshall returned to Honolulu this
morning, and with him is Richard
Deming, vice president Of the Amer
lean Surety Co., Of New York. This
bonding concern continues its obliga.
tion according to the terms Of the
original contract. Another arrival on
the Matsonia is VIM. H. Healy, pro-
minent coast contractor, and whether
or not he has a finger in the Hilo
rockpile Is matter of speculation.
Those identified with the deal say
that Healy's arrival is mere coinci-
dence, but the fact remains that he
Is bound for Hilo as quickly as steam
will carry him, and gossip is rife.
If the Breakwater Company of PHI
ladelphia could not handle the con-
tract at q profit, where is the profit
coming from for the new contractor? /?
This is the question that is being
asked by those in the know" and
the guess is that the Hilo Railroad
Company has some connection with
the deal. and that a favorable freight
rate will be made from the Kapoko

WASHINGTON, ID. c., May Is. -
Cupid and tragedy have been doing a
double turn here for the apparent
benefit Of federal offlceholders In Ha-
wall. The joint appearance of these
famous actors was unusual and unher-
aided. The net results have been the
ordinary commingling Of JOY and sor-
row.
Cupid first came upon the stage and
showered few smiles in the direc-
tion of the Pacific crossroads. Secre-
tary McAdoo married the presidents
daughter and went to New Hampshire
for honeymoon. An agreement had
been arranged between the president
and the secretary that Collector
Stackable must go and man found
TO I'll Collector CottrilPs shoes. The
matter was shunted aside because Of
Cupid's timely interference. Hence,
the collectors may grin over q new
II temporary lease Of official life.
And then entered Grim Tragedy.
Heartlees members Of the senate COM
mittee on appropriations decreed that
the governor of Hawaii and his secre-
tary received too much money. They
shipped on a hunk of their emolu-
rnents. An amendment was added to
the legislative, executive and judicial
bill. which Is otherwise known as the
governments salary list The annual
stipend Of the governor was shaved.
down to $4,000 q year, an even $1,000
being shipped. The pay Of the gov
ernof's secretary was reduced from
$4,000 to $500 per annum.
Thus. while sStackabie and Cottrill
were able to grin and bear il, the.
governor and his secretary could see
no good IN life.

Health Department Shows Prog
ress Made in Detecting
Bad Supplies.

The Health Department DESTROYED
more than 100000 pounds OF bad food
In this city In 1918. according to Health
Commissioner Goldwater.
In special bulletin on Pure Food. :"
sent out yesterday. Or. Goldwater de-
clares the regulation and enforcement Of
pure food laws under the Jurisdiction Of
the Health Depa rtment has been much I'm
proved In recent years. Laws and ordi-
nances, despite the most powerful opposi-
ton. have steadily grown tighter until
there is great authority vested in inspec-
tors and officials.
For instance. IN the work OF con-
demnation and destruction last year a
constant supervision was maintained over
more than 200 establishments where
food Of various sorts Is prepared or
vended, and there is general inspection
even where the low,y ice cream cone ia
"oncoctsd or the soda water is offered for
ole.
While they were destroying the food
they made . 200 arrests and obta,ned fines
amounting 10 5000. No place can vend
anything In the food line now without a
permit from the Health Department. and
these can he obtained only after a most
rigorous investigation.

PHILADELPHIA. March 3o.--A gathering
OF 1000 persons In the Academy Of Music
protested tonight against President VIII
sons stand for the repeal OF canal tolls
exemption.
Representative George &. Graham. who
IL Taft Republican. and was one of the
chief speakers, caused a Roosevelt dem
onstration during the meeting when he
referred to the revolution which created
the Republic Of Panama and after which
President Roosevelt concluded the treaty
under which the Canal Zone became
American property.
Bainrldge Colby Of New York stirred
the enthusiasm of the audience with the
not call for attacks on England or Eng
lish integrity. but for stern rebuke to the
foe at home.
Alphonsus Koelbie, president Of the Ger
man Society Of New York. particularly
brought out the point that the tolls ex-
emption provision In a domestic AFFAIR,
not subject to treaty regulations.
Mr.. Koelbie then read the treaty OF
1916 between this country and England
regulating the port charges for Amerl-
can and English vessels In American
and English ports. In this treaty It was
stipulated that American vessels In Eng
lish ports should pay no higher charges
than English vessels and. uce versa.
English vessels In American ports should
pay no more than American vessels.
But under this treaty England for
ninety-nine years has granted her own
coastwise vessels much lower port rates
than American vessels and has main
tained that the port charges for her
coastwise shipping are a domestic affair
not subject to treaty regulation.
