OPIUM LETTER

BY v. Il. TIDWELL
Special Treasury Agent Says
No Government Official Here
implicated in Smuggling

News received from San Francisco
is that William H. Tidwell, special
treasury agent for the customs serv.

from Honolulu denied that local gov
ernment officials are implicated in the
so-called opium ring through letters al

He punctured the story completely.
In company with L. w. Bean, spe-
cial agent from Washington, Mr.. It'd
well spent about month in Homo
lulu on q search, it is said, for the
leaders of the San Francisco Honolulu
opium ring. They arrived in San Fran

would make his report direct to Wash

The letter found in an opium den,
involving such an official, was q false
lead" he continued. mo government
official In Honolulu has been impli-
Gated in the smuggling transaction.
Opium is being smuggled from San
Francisco into Honolulu. There is no
doubt about that. The price in Ho-

CONTRACT Plan
|. FOR ROAD WORK
|. STRONGLY URGED
L. NJ. WhitehouSe, Soon to Be
City Engineer, FavorS a
Change of System
WOULD PUT NEW WORK
ON COMPETITIVE BASIS
City Should Maintain, But Not
Construct Its Roads, He
Believes

"The policy l would recommend is
that the road department do nothing
but keep the roads that we have In
repair, and that any new work that
comes up be done by contract says
L. NJ. Whitehouse, who will become
city engineer on February L.
we have some $4,000 month to
spend for roads, and every BIT of it
should be spent In maintaining the
roads that we have, using money out
of the permanent Improvement fund
for new road work, all Of which work
should be made in permanent man.
ner.
This money should be spent on
what we would call the main arteries
of travel: such as King street, from
one. end to the other, Nuuanu street,
fDom the town up to the Pali, out Wal
alae road as tar as the beach, out
Kaiakaua avenue. the main Manoa
road leading up to that district, and
the main road leading up to Kalihi
valley.
I'm this way we could introduce a
cantonnier system. Such system as
this has. been advocated by all the
civic conferences we have lad here,
and is the only way properly to main
tain roads.
Frontage Tax q Urged.
The frontage tax will cover all per-
manent street Improvement work. II
this frontage tax is not put into ef-
feet. we viii never have good roads.
for the simple reason that we will not
have money to build them. In other
words, the money we would otherwise
put into permanent improvements viii
be saved 70 the county BY putting the
frontage tax law In operation.
The Law specifically mentions the
fact that al this work is to be done
by contract. think this is very
wise provision. The more work we
can do by contract the better we are
off Experience has shown that it Is
cheaper to do work by contract.
Suggests Amendment.
"One or two little amendments may
be found necessary before the law is
completely satisfactory. One amend
ment would recommend would be the
elimination of the word exact In the
section which requires the engineer
to make map showing the exact 10.
cation of every boundary line, build
ing and structure in the assessment
area.
This word exact makes 1t neces.
sary for the engineer to get the azmith
of every boundary line and In order to
do that It Is necessary that the survey
shall be tied up to the territorial tri-
angular system.
Such q degree Of exactness is not
necessary. II would answer all prac.
tical purposes for us to take the maps
on file in the engineers Office, and
thus save great amount of time and
money. These maps may not be
exact but they are correct enough for
all purposes of this act"

CAUCUS ON JOBS
Angry at Calling of a Secret
Meeting to Discuss His Fu-

: "I will not attend the caucus to-
morrow to which have been invited,

to the. Star-Bulletin, particularly any
called by Supervisor Larsen. | had
hoped that this administration would
be harmonious, but Mr.. Larsen sees
ut to break UP the harmony. | have
nothing further to say"
The calling of the caucus marks the
opening of what experienced politi-
clans term a bitter factional fight
among the city officials. Lined up
against the mayor are Supervisors
Larsen, Horner, Quinn and Logan, ac-
cording to the reports, although the
latter two have declared themselves
neutral in the fight being waged on
the mayors appointments to the varr
Gus city positions On the mayors
side are Supervisors Hollinger, AHA
and Arnold
The caucus will be held at o'clock
tomorrow afternoon The mayor has
been invited, but he says he positive
ly will not attend.
Anything the supervisors have to
say about my appointments I will
gladly listen to at any time in my

Il am trying to conduct the city's af-
fairs in the most advisable manner.

going to be hard. Efficiency must

Supervisor Hollinger declared him
self for the mayor today.
This caucus stunt is getting de-
testable,' he said in disgust IF any
supervisors have anything to say to
the mayor about his appointments let
them go to him or bring the matter
officially before the board at regu-
lar meeting. I don't like the manner

Total ..........
The COMMITTEES Has a balance nov
af 1910.

The committee II carrying out its
work is of course bound to apply to
any specified object funds which are
donated to that specific purpose, which
accounts for the very heavy excess in
favor of Belgian ard the small amount
paid over for British and German re.
lief. The two latter we were asked
specifically to pay over to the two
associations which are raising funds
particularly for the Prince of Wales
fund and German relief. This also ac-
counts for the reason we have not sent
large amounts to each of those two
countries. which Of course have. suf.
fered severely an tifoueh nefther OF
them have suffered by invasion The
$11.15 was an amount which we we're
speciicallE asked to give to the chill
dren's Christmas fund, which was
done. OF the $S77.10 in hand, S3O2 is
to be sent to the Red Cross in the
United States for its particular use,
and we shall probably send $500 at
once for Polish relief.
Fine seIf-Sacrifiee. Shown. {.
The committee = sorry that lit can
not give more particulars with regard
to the raising Of the funds. 1t has
been most interesting. Quite num-
Der of people today are paying over
from month to month (while the war
lasts) such amounts as they can af-
ford, and of course this means the
fine self-sacrifice which in q certain
sense is infinitely higher than the
gifts of those who can pay over a
thousand dollars and not think any
thing about it. But It must be said
that the thousand dollar people have
also done splendidly. We have receiv.
ed many amounts which we are as
cured, without being told so, means
pany rigid economies practised.
May we appeal to the public again? ?
The need is increasingly urgent The
suffering and privation has now ex-
tended to Poland, parts of Austria and
Servia, and is probably quite as in
tense and terrible as in Belgium. We
earnestly entreat the public not to for
get the great requirements of our suf-
fering fellowmen In these countries,
and we win again repeat that, of all
that has been sent forward, not one
cent has been used for so-called over
head expenses.
