New Contract Between u. S.

AMERICAN SURETY co.
STILL THE B0NDSMEN
Rumor That HiIo Railroad Co.,
and Lord Young Firm Have
An Interest in the lob

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-
pals to the deal aboard. The Break
water Company of Philadelphia fell
down on its contract to construct the
superstructure of the breakwater,
when it was unable to place the g.
ton rock required for the cap and
slopes. To date the American Surety
Co, bondsmen 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 a
new contract with Marshall, to CON-
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
ican Surety Co., of New York. This
bonding concern continues it's obliga.
ton according to the terms Of the
original contract Another arrival on
the Matsonia Is VIM. H. Healy, a pro-
minent coast contractor, and whether
or not he has a finger in the Hilo
rockpile Is a 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.
II the Breakwater Company of Phi
ladelphia could not handle the con-
tract at profit, where is the profit
coming from for the new contractor?
This Is the question that is being
asked by those lin the know" and
the guess Is that the Hilo Railroad
Company has some connection with
the deal, and that a favorable freight
rate viii be made from the Kapoko
quarry, which. it lis understood, con
tafns the only available rock, to the
breakWater site. This is speculation,
for discreet silence Is being maintain
ed.
Richard Deming, representing the
American Surety Company, was pleas

by a Star-Builetin reporter at the
Young this morning. Mr.. Deming
frankly stated his own mission here,

SALARY LIST REVISED
Agreement Reached Whereby
New Men Must Be Found

By c. S. ALBERT,

WASHINGTON, D. c., May Is. -
Cupid and tragedy have been doing a
double turn here for the apparent
benefit of federal officeholders 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 a 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 a man found
to fill Collector Cottrill's shoes. The
matter was shunted aside because of
Cupid's timely interference. Hence,
the collectors may grin over a new
IL temporary lease Of official life.
And then entered Grim Tragedy.
Heartless members of the senate COM
mittee on appropriations decreed that
the governor of Hawaii and his secre-
tary received too much money. They
shipped off hunk of their emolu-
ments. 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 a year, an even 81 900
being shipped. The pay of the gov
ernor's secretary was reduced from
$4,000 to $500 per annum.
Thus, while Stackable and Cottrill
were able to grin and bear it, the
governor and his secretary could see
no good In life. ,-@..... ..
