what the cash should go.

These appropriations never were
by the board of education.
When you make expenditures &C

These expenditures are illegal be-
cause they never have had the au-

Interests of the bondholders in the
HiIo railway are being fully protected
during the period OF special activity OF
the roads managers to increase the
business Of the line. To what pur.
pose appears in statement prepared
yesterday by B. r. Dillingham;.
Those in a position to know, state
that the road with its present sources
of income is earning per cent on its
bonds. Many regard as little short of
extraordinary the fact that business
houses having business to give the
road should withhold it. This Is es-
pecially true In view of the claim that
the bondholders would be secured and
the road put, on good financial basis

Though little has been said Of the
effect of the failure to pay the bond
interest on its last due date. the pinch
of this failure has been more wide
spread than the failure of any stock
dividend Several frasernal orders
have these bonds. The Queens Hos
pital has s35 900 OF them. The Nc
Kinley High School is without funds
to keep up the extension Of the school
library, as the surplus Of the MeKin-

PILOT CLAIMS HIS
BOAT NEARI Y HIT BY
RIFLE RANGE BULLETS

1t was reported this morning by
Capt John r. Macaulay, one OF the
staff of farbor pilots, that while his
boat was making a trip TO the Korea
on port a number of bullets, appar-
emily fired from the Kakaako rifle
range, struck in the neighborhood Of
HIS boat.
A detachment from the 55th Com
pany, Coast Artillery Corps. stationed
at Fort De Russy, was firing on the
200 and 300-yard ranges this morn
ing, but, according to officers at the
post, there was no obstruction In the
field of fire during the practise. Al
detachment from the U. s. r. C. The
tbs was also firing this morning.
Col. j. w. Jones, the adjutant-gen-
eral. N. G.. H., stated this morning
that the National Guard organizations
use the range only Saturday afternoon
and Sundays, but that the coast ar
tiliery and revenue services had the
use Of the range at present. Men
regularly employed in looking after
National Guard property on the range
knew nothing Of the alleged firing this
morning.

HARBOR BOARD
And N. G. H. HEAD
CROSS BAYONETS

After conference with Adiutant.
general j.. w. Jones of the National
Guard this afternoon the board Of
harbor commissioners absolved Har.
bormaster Foster from all blame in
the incident OF the steamer Kiyo
Maru, which was hit by number Of
bullets from the Kakaako rifle range
as she lay just outside the bay.
Al lively tilt occurred between Col.
Jones and Commissioners nj.
Church during the conference, when
in response to the formers declara-
ton that he was present to work in
coordination with the commission,
Church asked:
do you consider the publishing OF
an interview such as that appearing
in the newspapers, criticizing Capt.
Foster, as coordination ?"
Col. Jones replied to the effect that
he certainly was not present to be
criticized -he was there to tell such
facts as he knew. Capt. Foster
had appealed to the commission
for yindication. Col. Jones published
statement, said Church. indicated that
he was holding Foster responsible for
the anchorage OF the Kiyo Maru.
Col. Jones later admitted that the
captain of the firing squad had said
the Kiyo was ordinarily outside the
rifle range, and 1t was his opinion that
the bullets which struck the Japanese
ship must have been ricochet shots,
which had struck the water and then
been DETECTED upward again.
Church and James Wakefield we're
sppointed a committee to prepare q
resolution clearing Capt. Foster of re-
sponsibility for the ships anchorage.
Meantime negotiations are to be un-
dertaken with a view to providing
more safety for boats outside the har-
Dor from the firing on the National
Guard range.
