RAILROAD RESTAURANTEUR
 LEFT MUCH MONEY.
Dick DiIIon's Estate Over $500, ,ooo- Conducted Restaurant at New Lon don Depot.

The sensation of the hour at the depot restaurant in New London is the fact that the Hartford probate court finds that Dick Dillon's estate figures to the extent of about a third of a million dollars. The appraisers report the value of his estate to be $324,02S
 MT. Dillon, being a Hartford man, was largely interested in investments there, but he had been connected with the New Haven road as a reStauranteur for the last quarter of century He obtained the concessions for eating plants on the New Haven road at New Haven, New London, Saybrook June ton and Hartford about the time when the late Charles P. Clark was the head of the great New Haven system. Eight years ago he sublet the Say brook proposition, and finally he let go of the Hartford establishment. At the time of his death last September he was still running the New Haven and New London restaurants. and these his widow will continue.
 Richard J. Dillon was always a man who kept in touch with high railroad officials of the New Haven, and from information he received from them, from his business, and from a very acute line of action which he had in the stock market, which he played as long as he lived. he was able to ac- cumulate the fortune which he has left in a comparatively short life-he was 62 years old.
 He started in life as a comparative ly poor boy in Hartford, his father run ming a. small grocery store there. In his early years he went to New York. While in New York he renewed his acquaintance with Pat Sheedy, the ia nous gambler They were schoolboys together in Hartford, and to Sheedy' S acumen Dillon later on attributed much of his business success. He was loyal to Sheedy until the death of the latter, about three years ago. and went with his body to the grave.
 MT. Dillon left wife. two daugh- terS and a son.

IS DECLARED
OUT OF OFFICE

The supervisors, following their va,
cation of the Office Of plumbing and
building inspector divided the Job in
two and named Charles ]. Murasky
as building inspector and G. L. Al.
media plumbing inspector. each to
receive a salary Of $3.50 monthly.
Foreseeing the refusal of J. J. Miehl-
stein, building and plumbing inspect
or, to hand in mis- resignation before
the first Of the month, as requested
by the board of supervisors, motion
was made before that body at noon
meeting today, and carried. by which
the office is declared vacant, as of
August /.
This motion was made by Super
visor NJ C.. Pacheco, who preferred
the charges of misconduct of office
against Miehlstein. Pacheco cited the
statute which gives the board author
ity to hire building and plumbing
Inspector, and discharge him at its
pleasure.
The underlying motive in present
ing the motion today was to prevent
Miehlstein holcing over after the first
of the month, in which event, under
the legal opinions possessed by the
supervisors, he would have valid
claim for an extra months salary.

SHINGLE
ON IRWIN SITE
DEAL IS DENIED
He Sails on Unannounced Mis-
sion for San Francisco
Said to Be Sugar Business

Robert w. Single, president or the
Warehouse Trust Company, sailed on
the Matsonia today on an unannounced
mission to San Francisco. He told
friends just before leaving that he ex-
poets to make the round trip on the
Matsonia. <..-
A persistent rHmor had it that Shin
gle's trip is in connection with the
federal building site and that he is
going to arrange some sort of deal
in connection with the Irwin King
street property, which is offered for
the federal site. This rumor is de.
MED at the Warehouse Trust Com
pany, where it was stated this morn
ing Single is on a private mission,
that of arranging some sugar con-
tracts with the Western refinery.
The federal building site bill is still
dragging along in Congress. AT last
reports it was in the hands of sub
committee of the house committee on
public buildings and grounds, but it
should have been reported back to
the main committee by this time. The
bill will probably be somewhat chang
ed in the house and If it passes at
this session must go to conference,
having passed the senate already.
The Irwin site is generally looked
upon az the probable choice of the
treasury department. The department
has shown an inclination to deal d.
rectly with the property-owners, ac-
cording to those who know, in the
discussion of all the sites, and it was
said today that Shingles visit to San
Francisco is not to confer with the
Irwin interests there. The local rep
resentatives of the Irwin interests,
particularly E. 1. Spalding, are said to
be the ones through whom. any deal
locally would be made. III.

JOB TOMORROW

Rock will fly on the Hilo. break
water tomorrow morning. The con-
tract for the extension of the big mole
that has been entered into between
the government and Contractor Geo.
Marshall. has been signed, sealed and
delivered.
Mr.. Marshall left for Hilo this morn:
ing with everything necessary in the
way of authority to commence work
on the extension, and he stated that he

cranes, towboats and other applianc-
es used in the building of the break
water.
Marshall has two quarries to sup
ply rock, one at Kapoho and the 9TH

miles from milo, and the rock will be
lightered from there to the break

The story has been given out that
the American Surety Company was
handling the whole business, but this
is emphatically contradicted by Mar

At the Waipo quarries there are

brought about, there is the quarry at
