NOBODY SEEMS
To KNOW ABOUT
OLD QUEEN ST,
CONTINUED from page one,

by calling l.. NJ. Whitehouse, city
and county engineer. as a witness. He
brought with him copy of the grade
map OF the portion of Queen street
in question, which was made by the
commission in 1904 AS this copy had
not been countersigned by the super
intendent of public works, or did not
bear the signatures of the members
of the grade commission, the petition
er's counsel raised an objection as
to its admission in evidence.
The petitioner moved that Mr..
Whitehouse's testimony regarding the
nature OF the map be stricken out as
being hearsay. The court was of the
opinion that 1t was not hearsay and
overruled the motion.
Robert King of the territorial SUR
vey office was then called as wit
ness. He brought with him book of
field notes purported to have been
compiled in 1904, at the time the
grade map of the position of Queen
street was made. Warm argument en-
sued between counsel as to what the
book contained.
The petitioner argued that that por-
ton of Queen street had not been
built according to the grade laid down
in the map; that the builder of the
road, ID. Crowningberg. had testified
yesterday that he fixed grade of
his own which was in conformity with
that of the railroad track. Growing
berg said the road was built in 1904
or 1905. The respondents argued that
the track had not been laid down un-
I'll 1906, according to other testimony.
The petitioner then moved to strike
out all the testimony regarding the
notes and the map, on the ground that
there was no testimony to show that
the portion of Queen street in question
had ever been constructed up to the
established grade.
The motion was oyerruled.
The respondents then called Mr..
Whitehouse, He was examined large.

PEOPLEOF MAUI
Petition Presented This After

Residents on Maui have taken sides
with the harbor commission against
the Inter.Island Steam Navigation CO.
in favor of Kihei landing against Nc
Gregor's landing, the favorite of the
steamship company. A petition sign
ed by many Maui citizens presented
to the, harbor commission this after
noon, urges them not to spend the
$4,000 appropriated by the last leg
islator for McGregor's landing repairs,
and asks the commission to require
the lnter-Island boats to stop at Kihei
In addition to the petition the mat
ter is to be brought up before the
Maui Chamber of Commerce at the
next session, and a resolution sup
porting the petition will be voted up
ON, the resolution, if adopted, to be
sent to the harbor commission. The
Maui chamber already has passed such
a resolution, but the harbor commits
sion has asked for a more recent ex-
preston with regard to Kihei.
The board authorized Chairman
Forbes to spend part of the $4,000
made available by the last legislature
for repairs and upkeep CT territorial
wharyes. Forbes reported his esti-
mates of $1,000 for Pier Z, $4,000 for

The feature of the service which
appeals most strongly, is the absence
of the operator, the Hello Girl Be-
ing entirely mechanical, the automatic
system makes connections without the
aid of any human agency, in the CEN
trail exchange, and the patrons are
thus freed from the annoyances and
i.ritations which are apparently in
evitable where operators are required.
THE substitution of machine for
a human being also has another aG-
vantage which is especially important
in cities like" Manila and Honolulu
where many different languages are
in use that it is difficult to make the
operators understand the numbers
wanted" ~. r'... .=.-
