FRED L. WALDRON: I don't ex.
pect to hear from the Great Northern

WATER MANAGER HARRY E.
MURRAY: People are beginning to
respond well to the crusade we are
making to get them to pay up their
delinquent water rates. and 1t is no
more than right that they should do
so. The department doesn't want to

Committee first took up the work.
MALCOLM A. FRANKLIN, col.
lector of customs Our Honolulu de.
tectives seem to be able to shoot well,

nosed bullet 1t only made hole as
big as a lead pencil where it entered
his chest, but it tore half his back
out when it left his body.
FRANK T. SULLIVAN, superin-
tendent of mails, postoffice: In the
last few hours before steamer sails
for the coast, more letters pour into
the mailing windows than for week
before. The night the Great Northern
sailed 20 sacks of mail matter came
in between o'clock in the afternoon
and 9 o'clock at night, when mails
closed. That rush gave us exactly ~
more sacks to despatch than the 200
sacks we had estimated and we had
made a liberal estimate, too.
TX. KAWAMURA, City Editor Nip
pu Jill: Japanese people throughout
the city are very much pleased with
the activity of Captain McDuffie and
his men in capturing zee Yo Keuk,
and they can see no reason for hest
tating in complimenting the officers on
their bravery. The Japanese people
through the press have attacked the
police department for negligence, and
the aim of the Japanese was to CO.
operate with not to hinder the efforts
of the police department. Japanese
people will be the first to congratulate
those who will work for better police
protection.

merely to occupy small part of the
