Special investigator for Probe
Commission Delivers Talk
Straight from Shoulder -

Commenting on the status of the
report made by him to the Hawaii
County Investigation Committee, H.
Gooding Field says:
have been reluctant, foE. some
months past, to express myself re-
garding the wisdom of the creation OF
the Hawaii County Investigation Com
mission, as body, as any statement
which might have made rejecting, in
any manner, on the merits of the COM
mission, would, l felt, be considered
personal animus.
Expensive Luxury.
Since, however, the commission
now takes the stand that there is no
special reason why my report should
be made public, or if published at all,
not earlier than June 30th next-my
report being the result of twelve
months of the most difficult and ex-
acting technical work-and, further
more, the commission, the personnel
of which are not, by any means, &C
counting experts, protesting to be
the sole arbiters of the value of that
part of my report, wherein I outline
a modern and scientific accounting
system, with forms, e tc., which
should be installed not only in the
county Of Hawaii, but all the other
counties and departments of the ter
ritory, l am compelled, in justice to
myself, to give some data which will
show the uselessness of such a COM
mission being appointed in the first
place to even attempt to straighten out
the financial muodle in the county OF
Hawaii. l still maintain that the mat
ters to be nvestigated-which were
purely finanCial-Were such that the
services of a professional inVestiga-
tor, trained in municipal accounting
and research work, and a prOsecut-
ing attorney, were alone capable of
unravelling these complications. The
commission, in fact, proved, itself to
be a legaliZed and expensive luxury,
and the following information, re
garding its mOdus operandi will, | be-
lieve, be both educational and en-
tightening to the taxpayers who have
pungled up to pay the bills.
What Commission Did.
The commission held its first meet
| ing in Honolulu on April 10th, 1913
and met at HilO on April 18th, 1913.
| On the latter date, all the records
from 1905 to 1913-of the county aud
itor and the county treasurer were
turned over. under subpoena, to the
commission, and on May 10th, 1913.
| the books of the county clerk were
! likewise obtained. The books and rec
Ords of the three county officials,
| aforementioned, were placed on
! these dates under the control of the
! auditor in the vaults of the First
Trust Company of Hlo, for purposes
of his investigation.
OeIVine and Checking
From April 23rd, 1913 to May 29th,
1918, the three members of the com
mission were "delving into books and
checking accounts Of the county aud
itor." with stae exception of four pub

Wreck Children's Baths

From the New I Ork Times.
 A number of wealthy property owners in the west end of Trenton gathered at the public swimming pools of Sanhcan creek, in the immediate vicinity of their homes, and demolished or removed all of the equipment provided by civic organi- cations and individuals in order to con- tribute to the enjoyment of the children.
 As result of their action they now face prosecution as the matter Is in the hands of the police and the county au- thorities.
 The popularity of the swimming pools has served to attract hundreds of bath CTS daily from every section of the ctiy. The noise and disorder occasioned by their presence was objectionable to the residents and they complained to the city commission that their peace was dis- turbed and the value of their property affected. They asked that the bathing be discontinued. but the commission could find no ground for action.
 They accordingly took the matter in their own hands and assembled at the creek at midnight attired in bathing suits and armed with hatchts. and other implements of destruction. They pro- ceeded to tear out the pools. wharf and wire netting which had been constructed about the place as a safeguard, and other equipment was carried some dis tance up the creek in a wagon. Police men were nearby. but did not interfere, 1t is said
