That the type setting machine for

the welcome news just received by Mr.
Sheba from the people on the coast
who are handling the invention for
him.
The promoters state that in a re-
cent test OF the machine, together
with an expert Japanese hand-setter,
the invention did 10 times as much
work in the same time, and that the
effort required was much less than
that put forth by the hand-man

ment in the test with rough machine

ed at the success promised by his ma
chine. 1T is much more than had
even hoped for, he says. II plan now
to leave for the coast in two weeks
to have look at the completed ma
chine for myself
MIR. Sheba's invention came after
a careful study of all the different
styles Of type-setting machines. from
the most primitive to the modern limo
type. He got various ideas from all Of
them, and then proceeded to apply
them to the difficulties of japanese
type
So far he has succeeded in getting
a machine to distribute the type. but
has not vel. hit upon the full plans
for rearranging it after q line has been
set. With the ideas that he has al

mother Of invention, and it was ne

chine of this sort.
As far as know, no one ever tried
TO make such a machine before. Il

method of annoying the German sol

a German soldier in a crowd. they
cut off the leather knot of his sword

A boy of fifteen has just been SEN

Coats Off. Chewing Pencils,
Supervisors Look Like Bad
School Boys ''Kept In"

Seated around their desks, coats off
and collars loosened. chewing stub
ends OF lead pencils OF scratching wor-
RED heads. the seven supervisors Of
the city and county CT Honolulu were
not unlike seyen schoolboSs last night
kept in past hours TO figure cut sums -
which the teacher had given them.
Teacher" was Mayor Lane, but he
had gone to take dinner with the gov
ernor. In his absence, Danny" Lo-
gan as big boy, sat at the desk. Bob
bic" Single was marked tardy for
coming late, and Willie" Larsen and
Bonnie" Hollinger caused a good bit
OF disturbance by quarreling at each
other across their desks. Charlie"
Arnold, Willie" AHA, and ~Bobbie"
Herner, who sat in corner together,
all received 100 in department.
The supervisors last night went into
Mayor Lanes new rules Of procedure
with a spirit of earnestness that was
good to see. When the minor busi-
ness of the meeting had been disposed
OF somebody moved that the rules be
taken up by the board as a committee
of the whole. The motion carried.
The only difference between the reg
ular form of meeting and the meeting
OF committee of the whole Is that
in the latter informal discussion may
take place without the necessity OF
addressing the chair Coats may also
be removed without breaking parlia-
mentary rules.
Not q single jot or title of the
rules evaded the watchful eyes OF the
supervisors. "Ther was changed 10
these" which" became that and
lay on the table was transformed
into .Iie on the table. All In all the
meeting was success.
Considerable discussion arose over
the wording OF one section Of the
rules relative to tie vote, which said
that in such case the mayor shall
declare the vote and state that the
matter having failed should be laid on
the table till the next meeting. This
was finally changed, after much expla-
nation BY Edward Woodward. secre-
tary to the mayor, who represented
his honor at the meeting. Has failed
to pass is the present reading

ers of the mayor brought out great
many opinions relative to his alleged
past and possible future interference.
with the board, Mr.. Woodward work
ing overtime with his explanations the
while.
When Supervisor Single asked Mr..
Larsen pointblank just what were his
grounds for saying the mayor inter-
fered with the boards business. he
reused a spark Of fire.
Il will admit cried Mr. Larsen with.
flashing eye, that my feeling has.
changed somewhat of late, due to the
fact that the mayor has lessened his
interferences with us, but let me tell
you, Mr.. Single, that II he had not
modified his ways. he was due for the
greatest tongue lashing he ever got.
Il have no personal enmity toward
the mayor, e continued the chairman

BOARD MEMBERS MAKE HAsHOF.
NEW RULES WITH MAYOR AWAY

| OF the aterworks committee, but you
I'll know as we'll as J., that the mayor
has interfered time and again with
our own affa.rs. The mayer is a
eood fT:e1d Of nine, but he thinks
too much about this parliamentary
stuff, and not enough about the prac.
teal workings of the board"
Larsen also took exception to one
of the rules pertaining to the duties of
the messenger-that he should be at
all meetings and make all arrests of
members or other persons.
More parliamentary stuff cried
the litter of heavy weights. What
dye mean, arrests Of members? IN

in keeping with my position. sup

"Sergeant-at-arms," corrected Mr.
Hollinger, who sat next to Mr.. Larsen.

on the irate Larsen. Are We trying
to- turn the boards assembly room
into police station?" 49,. .-.. *
-
the rule superfIuous and it was strick-
enA from the list. 49, 49,, -
Another clause providing for secret
meetings, il necessary was soon put
on the run by the supervisors, the
unanimous opinion seeming to be that
all meetings should be open to the
public at all times. =. f.. ~ &
A clause providing that the office
of city purchasing agent should be

tees, brought a statement from Mr..
Single to the effect that the Office
should be a part OF the auditing de
partment instead.
There is too great a division be-
tween the two, said MR. Single We
could greatly facilitate things by get.
ting the offices closer together. Mr..
Larsen was of the same opinion, but
Mr.. Hollinger objected strongly. 1T
is not businesslike way Of doing
things he said.
Several other questions, mostly of a
trivial nature, came under considera-

The rule reads. Meetings of COM
