ARMSTRONG SAYS HE
TURNED BONDS COIN
OVER TO THE PHOENIX

William F. Armstrong, IS years old,
formerly of Honolulu and lately OF
1926 Third avenue, San Francisco, is
held in the City Prison as fugitive
from justice, says the San Francisco
Chronicle.
The arrest was the result of the re-
ceipt by the police of cablegram from
Sheriff Rose of Honolulu, which stat
ed that Armstrong was wanted in the
islands on felony 4embezzlement
charge. An officer will leave Homo
lulu July Is to take him over after
extradition.
AS far as know this must have
something to do with my handling of
$4,000 worth of securities for the. Lo-
yal Order of Moose of Honolulu, for
which was trustee said Armstrong
in the prison. There was internal
trouble in the order and turned that
amount over to the order of Phoenix,
into which the Moose were reorgan-
lied"

RIGID INSPECTION Is
NEEDED I'M FISHMARkETS
SAYS FOOD INSPECTOR

A special report on the condition of
the fshmarkets, made at the sugges-
ton of Governor P1nkh2m, was sent
to the board of supervisors today. The
report is made by A. W. Hansen, food
commissioner and analyst. He finds
that while the condition of the mar
kets is not bad, there is great need
of rigid inspection. He says in part:
These particular inspections Gov
cred a period of three days and the
specific object in view was to decide
whether or no in my opinion it would
be desirable to have one or more fish
inspectors at these markets regularly
The conclusion reached was in accord
ance with that held previously, name
ly, that the fishmarkets should be
subjected to the regular and compel
ent inspection. a. ..s-s
The above recommendation is not
made because of the number of fish
which We found it necessary to con-
denim during these three days of in
spection-four small lots in all-but
rather because of. the positive men-
ace to the lives of the consumers Of
such partially decomposed fish.
Il do not believe that the present
condition of the fishmarkets should be
termed as bad, but when one consid-
ers the amount of meat and fish sold,
the rapidity with which such food
spoils in this hot climate and the great
danger to human life that might re-
suit from eating of such partially de-
composed food, it can readily be seen.
that constant and intelligent inspec-
ton is almost imperative This is es-1
pecially true of fish that have been
on ice. 81 q
The report was referred to- the
health committee. .s.,r

HIS HONOR HAS BAD
LUCK CHOOSING MEN
FOR JANITORIAL JOBS

News was taken to Mayor J. ].
Fern late yesterday afternoon that
his late appointee, Sam Pookalani,
janitor of the municipal building,
languishes in the city and county jail,
having been sentenced by the district
court to pay fine of SO which
sum Pookalani lacked and therefore
was obliged to go to Jail.
His Honor seems to be under
dark cloud of misfortune. so far as
his janitor Apprentices in the muni-
cipal building go. It was only a lit
tie while ago that NJ. ]. Dennis, while
acting as the jaaitoral official for the
building, was caught in the act of
taking few silver coins from the
safe in the building and plumbing in
spector's Office, q trap having been
set for him. -
Mayor Fern IVES asked to discharge
him. He did so and named Pooka.
lani as his successor, And now Poo
kalani has gone and got in jail
thus opening a question of whether
the mayor and other officials in the
building should pool enough money
to pay the fine or allow Pookalani,
who is in for assault and battery, TO
work out the fine in prison labor.
The question is stil up in the air.

Pooh-Bah Of Neptune City, N. j.,

NEPTUNE CITY. n. Y. January 2.-
Small though it is, this pfac, needs a
chief Of police, a superintendent OF
streets. health inspector, fruant Off
Ger. license collector and a janitor for
the borough hall. Nor is it SO poverty
stricken but that it can afford to pay
about SO month to the holder of each
office William s. Bennett f1lls all six

Mr.. Bennett, who uses the title chief
of police" not ''janitor Of the borough

ness got $50 till last year, when the coun-
ell cut the combined salaries to SIS. This
year John F. Slocum offered to hold
down all six jobs for the modest sum of
$40 monthly.
The council thought that would be
great. The members were all for Mr..
Slocum. But Mayor Henry A. Bennett,
who is no relation to Chief Of Police Ben
nett. recently vetoed the councils reso-
luton denying the mayor the power of
appointment. Then. when Chief of

bureau to establish the beacon. Steam
ers from this city take regular trips in

bring lumber piling and cord wood to

proposed beacon would. 1t is claimed be
OF much benefit TO vessels that go into
