The surfacing of the delegates pri-

the announcement to the effect that
the city will be reimbursed.
City Engineer Whitehouse told the
r-Bulletin early this week that he
thought the cost to the city for the
labor and material furnished amount
ed to about $40. Supervisor Horner
declared later that $500 worth Of
labor and material must be rightfully
charged against the work on Kuhio's
driveway.

Harry A Taylor OF Los Angeles
Thought to Have Left Home
Temporarily Demented

A search for Harry A. Taylor, a
young Los Angeles businessman. be-
lieved to have recently left California
Tor the islands, was conducted by Of
ficers and police on board the United
States army transport Thomas today,
but proved Ruthless.
Taylor's disappearance from his.
home and place of business in the.
Southern California city the latter
part of March has become a mystery
that battles solution.
The young man was recuperating
from an illness when he left his home,
He is believed to have left for Homo
lulu in a demented condition.
Friends of Taylor on the Coast have
carried on persistent quest and a
OF fetters with descriptions of
the missing man have been lately re-.
eeived in this city. He is said to
have been a man of steady habits. In
dustrious and thrifty. His relatives
cannot conceive that he would leave
home unless temporarily insane. For
some time he served as a railroad en-,
gineer. He is reported to have been
last seen alive at Long Beach.
The local poi-ce keep pretty close
watch over the movements of passen-
gers and crews of vessels touching at
Honolulu. Taylor is described as five.
feet nine inches in height, about 40.
pounds weight, light complexioned.
blond hair, grey eyes and was last
seen clad in a heavy brown suit with
IL k~1~ al
tiyes reside at 2951 Pine street, San
Francisco. Officers also visited the
Union Oil tanker Santa Maria, an ar
rival from the Pacific coast this morn
ing, in the belief that Taylor might
have slowed away or signed on with
the crew of that vessel. r..

clerk to the board Of supervisors said
today that the engineer acted without

that effect having been passed or in

Knhio Is credited with saying that

WRECKS AND wRECKERs.

With the NJ, X. * Z. now in re-
ownership, there are 50 railways, op-
Grating 41,9SS miles, capitalization 81
264.OOO. 200. now under direction of
the courts.
Looks like a terrible condition of
railroads. but the condition was about
as bad in 1894, when 1872 roads oper-
ating 4O,S1S miles were in the same
fix.
If the condition was calamitous 21
years ago what was done and what
advantage was taken of the horrible
examples ,"
Well, during this 21-year period,
largely. Promoter Hartman did his
ruling or running, the magnificent New
Haven wreck was accomplished, the
Frisco was dragged under and drown
ed the splendid Rock Island was
steered straight upon the rocks,
amongst other things This period
stands as the high tide of railroad
rescality and inetfciency. The expo
sures and conditions of 1894 simply
showed INSCRIPTIONS high fnanciers
how TO ravish great properties to their
own advantage.
In no other country wherein the
general welfare depended so largely
upon the railroads would repetition of
the conditions of 1894 have been per.
mitted. Somebody would have been
jailed and the government would have
taken hold of institutions upon which
the commercial life of the country de-
pended. VIII we have n better condi-
ton 81 years hence Not if we
weaken on the proposition that big
business shall not do Just as it pleases
