CITY TRAFFIC TO Be HANDLED
THROUGH TRUNK ROUTES Plan

=
Honolulu's traffic, now scattered
over all the business section of the
city, is TO be directed into main thor
oughfares soon which will relieve the
congestion in some of the minor
streets by providing ample improve
ments ON the trunk lines selected by
Cthe board OF supervisors. Supervisor
Hollinger will introduce a resolution
at the board meeting tonight calling
upon the supervisors to exercise their
privilege of naming the main thor
oughfares.
The main artery or Honolulu will be
along King street from Fort Shafter
TO the junction with Beretania just
waikiki OF the PRlama settlement,
thence out Beretania to 10th avenue
Waialae. This route would be shorter
than the present route which most
traffic takes through the heart Of the
business section on King street
Starting from Diamond Head the
highway will be followed on Kalakaua
avenue to Beretania. Kalakaua avenue
will have to be extended across King
and Young streets to meet Beretania
and the main highway from Fort
Shafter. The estimated cost of the
new road cut through the two blocks
would be slight when compared with
the traffic Improvement No valuable
or unmovable property stands in the
way.
- The other artery OF the trunk sys-
tenn is Nuuanu street from Queen
street to the end of the car line. Hay
ing once named the main thorough.
fares they cannot be changed Resi-
dents of South King street oppose the
proposed shifting of the thoroughfare
from King to Beretania street but as
the transit company has plans afoot
TO double track the car line on King
street Il would not be wide enough
for the increasing stream of Waikiki
traffe.
The supervisors were empowered to
name the main thoroughfares by act
OF legislature. The city and county
wiz have to pay certain percentage
of the improvement cost OF the thor
koughfares as the property owners
could not be expected to pay for en-
tire upkeep of the city traffic channels.
.sWhen we get the question of thor.
auehfares off the board We will go
ahead with the Manoa improvement
ordinance" said Supervisor Hollinger
today. 1T is a question just how
much the city should pay for main.

THINKS AN
ENEMY TRIED TO
BURN HIS HOUSE

The supposed incendiary who start
ed the fire Saturday night in the home
of Manuel Plada, a fireman of the
Kaimuki station, is being sought by
Fire Chief Charles H Thurston and
Chief of Detectives McDuffie today.
Plada reported for duty at Kaimuki
at o'clock Saturday night and 20
minutes later the alarm came In from
the neighbors that his house on Sew
enth avenue was on fire.. When the
flames were extinguished by chemi-
Gals the firemen found the beds in
the two bedrooms of the house, and
old clothes in the bathroom saturated
with kerosene. The. damage done
amounted to 500. The insurance on
the house is $1,000, while that on the
furniture is $3.50. ~ g.
The detective force is now seeking
the firebug, as the back door was
open and whoever started the fire had
a clear way. Plada thinks it was
someone who is jealous of bis home
life. The officials, however, intend
to locate the firebug if possible.

Mr. Meyer also was reported as
saying that In his term OF office he
had four responsible aides in charge
OF the four departments into which
administration Of the navy naturally
falls. that is, the building, the operat.
ing, the manning and inspection of a
battleship. These aides reported to
him daily, with the result that there
was a tOning of morale and a whole.
some competition in efficiency. Mr..
Daniels, he declared. had allowed
three of these four divisions to go to
seed.
The three great needs Of the navy,
Mr.. Meyer was also reported as say.
ing, are budget system; a National
Council of Defense which would bring
together the experts of the navy. the
executive and legislative branches of
the government; and an automatic en-.
listment law.

nounced what he termed "the wretch
ed seeretiveness" of Secretary of the
Navy Daniels. He said that the secre.
tary refused to answer questions put
to him by telegraph yesterday.
Mr.. Gardner said he had received a
telegram from ex-President Taft in
which the latter requested his COM
ment on Secretary Daniels views as
presented in a letter to President Gar.
field OF Williams College
my heply ito Mr.. Taft" he added,
will be ready in a few days"
These are the questions Mr.. Gard.
ner telegraphed, to Mr.. Daniels:
what is speed OF dirigibles just
contracted for by navy? How many
men have enlisted in Navy Reserve
and when did enlistments commence?
How many torpedoes II feet long
by 81 inches in diameter, have been
completed? Referring to Admiral
Strauss report, page s. has the tor.
pedo equipment of battleships inferior
to the Nevada and Oklahoma been
changed"
ITO this letter." said the Congress
man. "'he Secretary returned the fol-
lowing not very frank reply:
Am sending monthly register rs re-.
ouested We are just beginning the
Naval Reserve. As TO other questions,
no navy publishes the Information you
request. II is regarded a. navy sec
ret by all the nations"
"You will observe" continued Mr..
Gardner. that the Secretary evades
my question about the Naval Deserve,
and yet he lays great deal Of stress
upon that very topic In his letter to
President Garfield Of Williams Col
lege.
"The contract speed Of our new diri-
gibles is far from being navy secret.
AS a matter of fact, 1t has just been
published in the newspapers as only

FORMER SECRETARY OF navy
BLAMES DANIELS FOR Loss Of
REJOINDER QUICK And SHARP

The controversy over the loss Of the
submarine "a appears to be growing
more instead Of less vigorous as the
days lengthen since the "a disappear
ed beneath the waves off Honolulu
harbor. Below are given some of the
latest developments:
WASHINGTON, d. c. April %. -
Secretary Of the Navy Daniels was
asked today to comment upon an IN
terview reporting his predecessor
George Won L. Meyer. as placing the
responsibility for the loss OF the sub.
marine F-4 upon the decentralization of
the Department under Mr.. Daniels.
20 do not intend TO reply to every
charge of murder that may be brought
against me-" he replied. Il will wait
until the grand jury brings In an In
dictment." ..= .-... ..-
The secretary incidentally disposed
OF Mr.. Meyers criticism that in the
past Is years the United States had
spent $500, 100000 more on its navy
than has Germany, Notwithstanding
that the German navy has gradually
forged ahead OF ours. D.
money Well Spent"
81 did not spend that money to
which he REFERS" Mr.. Daniels said.
what have spent has been well
spent In comparing the cost Of the
American navy with that OF any Euro
pean country II would be we'll to re-
member that, man for man, ton for
ton, our organization Is today, always
was and probably always will be more
expensive than other navies- Labor
and construction cost more in America
than in Europe. Officers and men
are paid more In America than In Eu-
rope.
There are arguments for and
against naval budget sln my opinion
Congress never will consent to max.
ing lump appropriations to be spent
at the discretion of the Secretary Of
the Navy. II we have wise seereta-
ries, the budget system might work
well. II they are not wise, the sysr
TEN might be dangerous.
at is a question for Congress to
settle, and Congress rarely consents
to delegate any Of its powers to exc.
outive heads of departments"
Meyer Put Less Of
~ Up To Daniels.
NEW YORK, April 2S.-1n the In
terview to which Secretary Daniels
took exception Mr.. Meyer was quoted
as saying:
shortly. before the accident to the
F-4 occurred Lieut. Cmdr. Sterling ap-
peared before the Congressional Com
mittee and stated that practically
none Of the submarines was in sea-
worthy condition. Now, under the
system which / established In the
Navy Department and which Secreta'
~ Daniels has allowed to go to pieces,
not one Of these submarines would
have stirred until my aide of inspec-
ton reported them ready to 60 to sea.
"This branch OF naval. administra-
ton has fallen into decay. There was
no machinery for prompt and accurate
report that would prove or disprove
Sterling's statement. II there had
been such q system, the weakness in
