MAKURA PASSED
To EASTWARD
!. OF PORT

That the canadian-Anstralasi lin
er Makura from Sydney, n. S. w, en-
route 10 Vancouver, B. C., passed far
10 the eastward OF Honolulu within
the past As hours is now the belief OF
local shipping men, who today were
advised that the vessel was reported
through a wireless message al the
agency of T. II. Davies & Company.
The local representatives admitted
this morning that they were informed
through a radio that the Makura was
proceeding from Australia for Brit
ish Columbia but nothing is stated
concerning the intention to call at
Honolulu.
A second message reported as COM
inE from the Makura to the relatives
of 4 cabin passenger in the vessel Is
said to have stated that the Makura
would omit calling at Honolulu. II is
believed that the vessel Is bearing
reservists to join the colors. Under
the former Canadian-Australasian
schedule the Makura should have ar
rived at Honolulu about September 8.
T. II. Davies & Company have de-
clined to book passengers from Homo
lulu to British Columbia in this YES
sci which would indicate that there
was little likelihood of the liner visit
ing the port.

EISHMARkET WILL GO
lNSPEcT0RLE SS UNLESS
SHERIFF TAKES ACTION

On the complaint OF County SheTifi
Charles Rose today the city and coun
ty supervisors reached the concIuBion
that two police officers shall not be
placed at the public fishmarket as In
spectors, position somewhat contra
ry to their action several days age
when they /, ordered the sheriff to SO
establish a couple of his men.
Sheriff Rose complained that The
could not take two men off his regular
force TO detail them for fish inspec.
ton; that duty would take all their
time and they could do no outside
work, he exclaimed. Mayor Fern
found occasion 20 protest against the
overlapping authority of the territorial
board OF health and the city and coun,
.ty in the natter Of the public market
and limited darkly that unless the lat
ter we're given full and complete pow.
er the city and county would do moth.
ing TO remedy the situation. -
Deputy County Attorney P. L. Wea,
yer explained that the city was not
forced TO establish inspectors at the
market, but that its police could saun.
ter into the place and make an occas.
ional inspection when they felt like it.
Sheriff Rose did not relish this propo.
sition, insisting that TO handle the in.
spection correctly one or two men
should be stationed at the stalls all
the time Supervisor Wolter endors,
ed Wesver's advice, and the subject
was dropped at that point Thus
Sheriff Rose is not compelled to es.
tablish permanent inspectors at the
market, and so far as the county gov.
eminent is concerned there will be
no close, continual inspection of the
meats sold to the public from those
stalls--unless the cheriff depletes his
police force to make up the deficiency
at the market.
On recommendation of Building In
spector Murasky the supervisors an
! thorized the building committee to
confer with the Chinese property-own
ei's desiring to build large structure
on Kukui street, a permit for which
has thus far been denied because 1t os
tensibly is a tenement within the re
stricted district near public school
Murasky said he had interviewed some
of the owners and found they did
| intend to make it a tenement, not a
hospital, as had been represented to
the board on previous occasion.
