Where's the Money

In q communication to the Car

the exposition commissioners,
claims that $G2,9l5.45 has been
collected for the exposition fund
and that only $l,773.60 has been
expended, leaving a balance of
$5S,lIl.S5 in the fund according
to the state t~rcasurer's BOOKS. The
commission state in tn. resolutions
adopted by Thatcher, eddie and

there is only SIS, 900. Now.
the question naturally arises as to
what has been done with the $iO,-
l5l.S5, the difference between the
amount Commissioner Mills says is
in the fund and the amount stated
By Odd.c, Thatcher and Ross in
their resolutions.
Has there been a Juggling of the
fund to cover up deficiencies in

RECKLESS RIDING
CAUSES ACCIDENT

Saturday night about 10 o'clock
as Mis-. May Peterson and Miss
Francis Moore were racing horses
up and down the main streets, the
horse ridden by Mrs. Peterson fell
in crossing the Southern Pacific
track near the passenger depot and
threw her violently to the ground.
She was picked up unconscious and
taken to her home. Luckily no
bones were broken, but she was
badly bruised about The head and
face.
An eye witness of tn accident
told US that Mrs. Peterson made a
short turn to cross the track and
one of the horses feet struck one
Of the rails of the crossing and
threw him. The horses were going
at & lively pace as they approached
the crossing aid the accident was
wholly due TO reckless riding. 1t
would be a good idea for the Off
GERS to pinch all who ride or drive
rPCklessly through the streets. If
they do not care for their own lives
they should be made to care for
the lives of others, be tn Y women
or men. a fine or a term in Jail
would have a wonderful effect on
reckless riders and drivers.

The island of Kauai is off the beat

than any other island of the Hawaiian
group. Because it is away from the
usual tourist routes and because his
curiosity had been excited by descrip-
tions of the Garden Island" George

Fitch gave the following account of

WASHINGTON, d. c., April s.
Lincoln L. McCandless will be en-
tirely to blame If a mainlander is ap-
pointed postmaster at Honolulu" de-
clared Charles Barron to the Star
I:ulletin correspondent. His action
ir secretiJ Violating the wishes OF the
county committee, and quietly rec
ommending The selection of MIR. Pa
checo may cause the loss of this po-
sition to the territory. If Postmaster
general Burfeson eventually deter
mines to select a man from Texas,
or some other state, as has been sug-
gested, all responsibility will rest
with Mr. McCandless."
This expression of feeling on the
part of Mr.. Barron did not indicate
waning confidence in his ability to
pull down the plum for himself, but
merely natural uneasiness because OF
persistent rumors that fellow citi-
zen of the postmaster-general had
been given a running start when Mr..
Pacheco's name was dropped from
consideration. Mr.. Barron has been
strongly endorsed for the place by
members of Congress here. He pro-
poses to fight until the last minute
and then some. He will not admit
the possibility of defeat.
Buff the rumored does happen
and a mainlander walks off with the
prize there will be a day of reckon
ing for Mr.. McCandless. That much
is made Self-evident by the observa-
tions of Mr.. Barron. In fact, he is
pretty warm in the collar and feels
much resentment because the recon-
mendation Of Mr.. Pacheco was Slip
ped along via the underground rail-
road and he did not know of it until
the matter was we'll advanced.
There will be no retraction of the
previous statement that Mr.. Barron
must be labeled hustler Up to this
writing he has continued on the dead
jump. His energy has developed to
such degree that he now finds time
to eat but twice a day. The usual
third meal has been dropped. although
shortage of funds did not make it
necessary. His campaign for federal
pie has doomed along without inter
mission. He has added inspector Of
immigration to the list of those jobs
it is proposed to lug home with him.
A successor to Mr.. Cottrill, collec-
tor of internal revenue, was laid be-
fore the treasury department officials
by Mr. barron. The name was not
disclosed. He is going right along
