Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir:--In your paper OF this evening,
on page three, yca have the following
story:
H Sakai. "a japanese. was Sunday
taken to the hospital for treatment,
it being alleged that the man was
found unconscious on King street near
the intersection Of Iwilei road, follow
ing a collision with an automobile.
The police have learned that the Jap.
anese was struck by machine No. 1874.

tain to what extent Sakai had been,
injured"
Provided the police gave out any
such information as is related here |
regret to be compelled to state that
they are not paying a great deal OF
attention to their job. Provided they
lid not give out this information
have been done a great injustice.
The number Of my car is 1874 and

street yesterday. There is where the
truth Of the article ends. did stop
my car, which can be proved by two
parties whe were in the car with nae.
II asked the mSn If should take him
to the hospital and he emphatically
refused to be moved That he was
taken to the hospital is a deliberate
lie. as I have communicated with the
Queens hospital this evening and am
advised that NO Japanese was,
brought here yesterday" 1t looks very
much to me rs though this might be
spite work, for the reason that the
accident was Witnessed by an en-
@plcye Of the Consolidated Amusement
Company.
incidentally, the man who collided
with was in a beastly drunken ecndi-
ticn and was wavering around the
street or never would have run into

CITY EXPENSES AND RESULTS.

Under the present city and county admins
tration, overhead expenses are out of all pro-
portion to the work accomplished, Following
ont figures available at the city hall, the inter
ested observer may notice that in one instance
to accomplish $9517 worth of repairs cost the
city $4,000; in another instance $17,022 in re-
pairs was achieved at an expense of $500.
There seems no relief in sight in case the
present administration is continued. 1t is
neither efficient nor result-getting.
For many months after the board of super
visors went into office at the beginning of last
year, those officials who made show of stand
ing for efficiency were given general support.
There is no other explanation of dissatisfaction
now than that the results of the last two years
have not been anywhere in proportion to fhe
public moneys spent

ACTIVE AND GENERAL SUPPORT
NEEDED.

Judging by the conference held yesterday on
the expansion of Honolulu harbor, the river
and harbor board of engineers in Washington
Is about convinced that the proposed channel

Is advisable. Former Governor Frear's work
in Washington has been successful in reopen
ing a subject that was virtually closed and
closed against the immediate Improvement 81
this port.
But the army engineer s office here, the gov
ernor. and the territorial harbor board cannot
do ii all. Unless the community manifests a
lively concern in securing this Improvement,
the federal authorities will naturally conclude
that the expenditure of large sum of money
at this time is not justified.
The project almost fell through once because
Of the seeming Indifference Of Honolulu 1t
was not SO much indifference as an inexplicable
apathy on the part of the business interests
md organizations. Only when it was realized
that the project was about to be lost did the
organizations come to life. Now that the mat
ter has been not only thoroughly revived but
onshed a long way toward success, Honolulu
should get actively and solidly behind the pro
iecffand leave no stone unturned to carry it
through
Individual and combined expression of sem
f;ment, proving that Honolulu has definite need
for the increased harbor and wharf room, will
nrobably be called for 1t must be recognized
that unless Honolulu as a community shows
tie interest that has been latent but little in
stidehce the city Is not certain to be looked
out for by any providential method.

Some surprise is expressed locally at the ap-
parently nonchalant manner in which Japan
is treating China's numerous formal protests
of violated neutrality. A close reading of news
paper comment both in the Orient and the
United States brings the conclusion that China
does not expect Japan to yield the contested
points. China is probably merely protecting
herself against later claims of Indemnity pay
ments lodged by Germany. For instance, the
landing of troops on the Shantung peninsula
and the raising of the Japanese flag on a Ger
man torpedoer that was stranded in Chinese
waters have been protested by China. Japan
pays little heed to the protests, but China is IN
d position to show that she is unable to back
up these protests with armed force, and that
she has done what she could to preserve neu-
trality. Thus a diplomatic answer is ready in
case Germany asks Indemnity payments.

COUNTY FAIR ON
IN TWO WEEKS.

Although the Whatcom County
Fair is scheduled for four days this
year, September 80 to October 3,
inclusive, the first day will be Civ
en- over largely to making entries,
displaying and arranging exhibits
and other details incident to the
big show of the following three
days. The management is DESTROYS
that exhibitors have their dis
plays on hand promptly in order
that the work of classifying and en-
tering may be properly and ex-
peditiously done.
At no time in the history of the
fair has there been assembled so
much of interest to the people of
this county as will greet visitors to
the 1914 exhibition. Both quality
and quantity will mark the displays
in the various departments. and
many new features touching the
life and activities of the people of
the county have been introduced
this year. The maximum of a
musement and educational advant-
ages has been the watchword of the
members of the fair association, who
are laboring arduously to make the
big event a pronounced success in
every particular.
The fourth annual Whatcom
County Fair will be a fitting eli
max to a season of abundant har-
vest of grain, fruit and vegetables.
and the prosperity of the Nooksack
valley will be reflected in the dis
play booths and the stock sheds at
the fair grounds.
The educational building is one
of the new features of this years
fair, and is now we'll under way.
The building will be completed
in ample time and will afford
splendid opportunity for the dis
play of school exhibits, all of which
are this year to be housed in this
new structure. The fair manage
ment believes the segregation of
the various school exhibits will
prove of immense advantage, and
predict that this building will be
very popular place during the fair
week. The exhibits will be un-
der the general supervision of Miss
Keller.
