Withdraw Protests
To Olinda Reservoir
No Other Sites Being Suitable, Prop
erty Owners Stand Aside. Home
stead Roads Soon to Start.

Because they were convinced that
there is no other place so well suited
for the purpose of reservoir as the
Olinda site, H. A. Baldwin and w. o.
Aiken have withdrawn their protest
to this location, and the loan fund
engineers are now proceeding, as fast
as possible, to get the plans and spe-
cifications prepared for the big
storage basin. 1t will probably be
at least two months, however, before
these will be ready to submit to con-
tractors for tenders.
At the meeting of the loan fund
commissioners held last Saturday,
Senator Baldwin and Mr.. Aiken were
present in person and entered various
objections to having the 500,000-gal-
Ion reservoir located just mauka of
their property at Olinda, as had been
decided upon. Their opposition was
due to the fact that they believe their
property will be injured by the near
proximity to the reservoir, and that
the construction work will be a source
of annoyance. Mr.. Aiken felt that the
presence of the big basin will always
be a menace to the safety of children,
and that it will not be feasible to
securely fence it.
AS a result of the meeting it was
decided to take another look for a
suitable site, and Mr.. Baldwin ac-
cordingly accompanied Engineer Balch
over the ground on Monday last, with
the result that he withdrew his OBJ
jections when it became evident that
the engineers had exhausted their
resources in the matter.
Homesteaders Satisfied.
w. l. Wells and ]. W. Manning, of
Kuiaha, appeared before the commits
sion as a committee to learn the
status of the road macadam work for
which $4,000 appropriation was
made by the last legislature. Engine
er Balch stated that work had already
been done in the matter of surveys
for this project. and that he would be
again on it within another week. He
stated further that c. c.. White, who
had seemed disposed to oppose the
Strengthening of road where it passes
through his pineapple lands, back of
the Haiku cannery, had later appar-
emily withdrawn his objections. The
commission has gone on record not
to spend money on this portion of the
road unless it could be Strengthened
It was also reported by Mr.. Balch that
the expenditure of the $4,000 special
appropriation for building a road
across the east Kuiaha gulch, will be-
gin shortly
| Kihei Road Soon.
If the plans for the homestead road
at Kihei are approved by Superinten-
den of Public Works Forbes. to
whom they have been sent, and should
they be returned by tomorrow's mail
as is expected, the Loan Fund Com
missioners will probably meet today
to formally pass on this work, and
advertise for tenders.

ors will depart the same evening for

PLANS PROGRESSING FOR
WATERWORKS IMPROVEMENT

Work on the plans for the improve
ments to be made to the Wailuku-
Kahului waterworks by the loan fund
Commission, is reported to be pro-
crossing favorably. The commission
ers have decided as a part of the re-
construction of the system, to lay the
6-inch pipe on hand in upper lao
valley on Main street from Market
towards the sand hills as far as it will
reach, and from there to the tank a
4-inch line will be laid. This new line
will replace the present 4-inch line on
Mill street, which now carries the
Kahului supply, but the street line
will still remain to supply that part of
Wailuku.

Now. for the conversation you had
with Mr.. Barnes Did you believe Mr..
Loeb's statement about Mr.. Barnes to
be true?'

An objection to the question was sus-

Mr.. Bowers called Col Roosevelt's at
tention to letters which passed between
him and Senator Platt. in which the
name of Louis Payn was mentioned.
During the latter part of 1899 and the
early part Of 1900 Mr.. Platt insisted
that Payn not be removed from the office
Of state superintendent of insurance. and
/ was equally as determined that Payn
should not remain" said the colonel. THE
senator said to me: II you remove Payn
| have an ironclad agreement with the
democrats and you cannot get confirmed
any man you select to succeed him. That
meant that Payn would automatically go
back every time the Senate refused to
confirm the man l wanted to put in. /

can do that, but I'll keep removing Payn
and so will manage to keep him out of

against It After ! received Senator
Platts telegram urging me to favor the
exemption ] wrote him that l would have

Rumania Not Fighting
Owing to a Shortage
in Ammunition, Is Claim

LONDON, April 29.-The Daily Nails
Bucharest correspondent answers the
question why is Rumania not yet in
the field as follows:
Because hitherto she has not had a
sufficient supply Of ammunition to make
her position safe. RuYnania always has
kept small supply of ammunition be-
cause her plans were based on the
hypothesis that she would be fighting
on the side Of Austria in any war
naturally so, as she had a secret treaty
Of offensive and defensive alliance
with Austria and Germany. This, how
ever. was Denounced at the beginning
OF the present war on the same
grounds as Italy denounced hers"

Mr. Bowers began by asking Col

franchise tax. In reply to questions the
colonel said:
II had a number Of talks with Senator
Plat about the contents of that letter
(about the franchise taxi. They took
place at various times while the bill or
bills were in consideration and after. At
one Of the conversations after the writing
of that letter Mr.. Platt said it was true

Basis of Warrant Issued.

The warrant issued against Mr.. Mar
tin was based on an alleged false GER
tdcation that one John Charles an en-
ploye of an automobile concern, had
worked twelve days as a skilled la
borer for the District at $3.50 per day.

thereby defrauded the District and OBJ
tanned that amount of money by false
pretenses. Other similar alleged false
certifications are said to have been dis
covered.
Mr.. Laws today heard Detectives E.
W. Boyle and J. r. Stringfellow. who

partment and the other now SO en-
gagged.

time would be necessary to complete

whether the grand jury would be
asked to probe the affair at once or at
a later date.

Mr.. Martins Counsel Talks.

Paul Sleman has been engaged as coun-
sci by Mr. Martin. He said today that
he deeply regretted that the Commission
ers had not seen their way clear to COM
plete the investigation and then give Mr.
Martin an opportunity to explain any
matters which appeared to be irregular.
This opportunity was sought for Mr..
Martini" said Mr.. Sleman. but has been
denied and the matter referred to the
District attorney.
From my knowledge Of the situation,
think it can be clearly shown that the
irregularity referred to in the warrant
sworn to by Deputy Auditor Donovan
occurred without the knowledge OF Mr..
Martin: that the District received full
value for the money expended. and that
Mr. Martin did rot profit III the slightest
way personally by the expenditure.
Mr.. Martin is entitled to a suspension
Of judgment by the people of Washing
ton until the facts are fully developed
and he has had an opportunity to be
heard"
