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 ii was nol hearsay and
overTuled the motion.
Robert King of the territorial sur

ness He brought with him a book of
field notes purported to have been
compiled In 1904, at the time the
grade map of the position of Queen

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

yesterday that he fixed grade Of

MIR. Britten picks Congressman
James r. Mann. representative from
Illinois and leader Of the opposition on
the floor OF the house, as the next
president Of the United States. The
Republican convention is almost sure
to choose man from Illinois, he says,
and the choice lies between Mr.. Mann
and Senator Lawrence Y. Sherman.
/ consider Mr. Mann the greatest leg

Mr.. Britten was reminded that on
more than one occasion lately Mr.

In connection with the conference
between President Wilson and the sec

Mr.. Britten limited alta new measure for
handling the problem OF the national
defense that may become law in the
near future This is Hill now before
the house committee on naval affairs
that provides for the creation Of
council OF national defense, that VIII

This council win be composed Of mem

Speaking Of the presidents last note

as an ultimatum. The presidents
last note is no ultimatum. he said.
1t is nothing more than very friend
ly note regarding the commercial
status Of the United States on the

United States has no desire for war
with Germany, nor do I see any rea
son why we should fight Germany. As

forces would be working more to a
common end for unity Of purpose. You
must not understand, however, that q
commission Of five men. each respon-
sible for his own department, Is not
without its especial merits. The riy-
airy has its wholesome aspect, putting
every man on his metal to do as
much and get as much for his own de-
partment as possible.
again, II the city manager were
given absolute power of hiring and
discharging all or nearly all Of the
employees of the city and il would be
made a misdemeanor for the council
to interfere in the least in the secur-
ing or the holding Of job, il would
tend to remove the feeling that pub
lie job is sinecnre and city employees
Of al kinds would understand that
they must hold their positions for
work done. The answer is made, of
course, that the city manager would
attempt to ingratiate himself with
those under his employment and
would build up such a power that he
in turn would elect city councils in
stead Of the city council electing him.
No doubt there would be some ten
dehcy this way, but after all, be.
lieye, we can look to the good judg-
nent Of the people at large to support
an honest, conscientious council
against the domination of any such
power.
With reference to your inquiry as
to the short ballot i believe 1t to be
one of the most important features Of
commission government and ore. Of
the most imporfant political move
ments at the present time. We must
all understand that democracy is still
in the experimental stage, that the
primary features of democracy are
that the will of the people should be
supreme and that the government
must be made an effective instru-
nent for carrying out their will But
the will of the people can be express
ed only in comparative simple terms
and there is nothing worse than
long complicated ballot to confuse the
public mind and thereby actually to
defeat the real desire of the people.
Hoping that these cursory remarks
may have some value to you for your
movement toward a new city charter,
/ am, yours very truly,

TERRITORY HAS
NO FUND TO PAY
FOR INSURANCE
Treasurer Viii Seek Permission
to Make Premium Payments
From Contingent Fund

When the 1915 legislature passed
the workmen's compensation bill. with
a special section making the territory
and all its political subdivisions res
ponsible under the act on an equal
basis with any private employer, il
overlooked the fact that the passage
of the act with such . provision re.
#quires the territory to expend many
dollars for insurance and so the legis.
lature failed to make an appropria-
tion for this item.
Now the territorial officials are con.
fronted with an act that compels the
territory to carry insurance against
accidents to its employees, and it has
no money with which to pay the pre-
miums Territorial Treasurer Charles
]. Mccarthy suggests that the govern
or be petitioned for permission to
make the premium payments out of
the contingent fund, until the next
session Of the legislature.
However, Col. Mccarthy has re-
quested all heads of territorial de-
partments to meet with him in the Of
flee of the superintendent of public
works on Thursday night at 1850
o'clock to discuss the act and to make
arrangements towards getting insur-
ance and the money to pay the pre-
miums with.
II asked local insurance company,
or rather il volunteered" said the
treasurer today, for a classification
of some of the territorial department
employees. The other heads OF depart
ments are requested to do the same
thing. When that Is done we can get
some sort OF an estimate on what it
win cost the territory to take out
workmen's compensation insurance.
Personally favor taking out insur-
ance as in consideration of the fact
that no appropriation was made for
this by the Legislature, do not think
the territory ought to risk a run OF
bad luck and accidents to its employees
by carrying its own insurance

Honolulu's automatic telephone sys-

In Manila. P. i, wher the installation
Of q similar system is being suggest
ed. The Manila Daily Bulletin, in an
article concerning the proposed change
says, as regards Honolulu's expert
ence with this type OF telephone:
"The Bulletin is in receipt of q pam
phlet from the Automatic Electric
Company OF Chicago, containing many
flattering letters from the users Of
the company's automatic telephone
system IN Honolulu. An examination
Of the letters shows that there are q
number Of features of the automatic
telephone service which appeal very
strongly to the public Of Honolulu.
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1915-08-24

'.sThe 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
irritations which are apparently In
evitable where operators are required.
1.-THE substitution Of b machine for
d human being also has another adj
vantage which Is especially important
in cities like Manila and Honolulu,
where many different languages are
in use that it issdiffcult to make the
operators understand the numbers
