Jorgensen. contractor in charge of the

had been temporarily damned up, was
released Thursday after a concrete

track built
The flow amounted to Csc, 900 agal-
Ions in "a hours. This, Jofgensen
said, can be carried out Of the tunnel
without affecting operations. although
1t will make work more difficult. The
cement floor facilitates the flow while
the elevated track allows the rock to

The, so-caIled newspapermen's bill,
III. B. 1888, setting aside $4,000 for the
entertainment Of visiting newspaper
men on the congressional trip probab-
~ will be killed by the senate 1t has
been set for consideration by the SEN
ate committee Of the whole next Mon

Several solons are opposed to the
measure. The original 1000 enter

the senate so that, special provision
could be made for the care OF the
Representatives Of the big eastern pa
pers who might accompany the con-
gressionaI party to Hawaii. The bill
as passed still contains that clause
and a number of the leaders in the
upper house believe 1t covers the sub.
ject satisfactorily. '.-~ +.
Those who oppose the new Watkins
bill favor extending invitations to GER
tain representatives of the big eastern
publications by the governor or the
delegateS and the selection of such
guests by the editors of the two Ho-
noluiu daiiies. They believe, howev-

+ II don't think any attempt should
be made TO group the visiting news
papermen off from the congressman"
said one senatorial leader. whose word
carries great weight in the upper
branch. For the most part they viii
want to be with the congressman and
really they should be an integral part
of the visiting body. They should be
entertained with the official guests,
Just as though they themselves were
officials. They 1se accustomed 20
that in Washington and will expect IL
here. And they will not like 1t IL they
are separated from the main body
while they are in Hawaii.
HOf course there will be some spe-
cial entertainment for the newspaper
delegation, Just as there doubtless will
be for certain groups of the officials.

MAUI CHAMBER
ACCEPTS new
SET OF BYLAWS

Especial Star Bulletin correspondence
WAILUKU, March 19.-Last Thurs
day the Maui Chamber of Commerce.
adopted new bylaws which a special
committee Of the chamber had been
working on for some weeks. The new
set seemed to satisfy the majority
changes were made.
ID. II. Fleming and w. A. Clark
were both elected new members Of
the organization.
One of the most important matters
brought before the chamber was the
possibility Of having the Clandine
leave Honolulu at 10 O'Clock on Mon
day night instead of o'clock and
come directly to Kahului, emitting the
stop at Lahaina, which often con-
sumes three hous. The change would
meet with favor from Lahaina people
at least, there would be no opposition
to it, as Lahaina gets very little adj
vantage of this stop except In the mat
ter of mail. The change would be Of
great advantage to East Maui people
and also those from Central Maui, as
more time viii be secured in Homo
lulu. -
President Baldwin, who was also
chairman of the committee of arrange
ments for the last civic convention,
brought up the matter of rumor Of dis
satisfaction that had gained some
headway In regard to the conduct Of
its affairs. One canse Of complaint was
that Director general E. r. Bevins had
been paid $500 for carrying on the
work of managing the convention.
The matter was gone into pretty
thoroughly by the chamber. and as
result the vote carried unanimous
ly that the whole action of the COM
mittee, including the payment OF the
salary to Bevins. be completely in
dorsed

COUNTY'S
MONEY TROUBLES
AIRED in SENATE
Request for Permission to Pay
$25, 900 From This Years
Funds Debated

Today was Hawaii county day in
the senate. Five resolutions, all deal.
ing with financial affairs on the Big
Island, were. read. all save one being
referred to the select Hawaii com.
nittee. az .is5rs.rs&-rr~ -. s. .E.-.-.
That $4,000 deficit facing the Ha.
! vail county supervisors was brought
TO the solons' attention; the county
board asking the passage of an act
enabling them to pay the deficit out
of this years receipts. The deficit is
for materials contracted for last year
Exceeding the county's actual receipts
/ by ss25,ee assa - .za#t@a 81
Rice raised the point that the sHa-
vail county board has violated the
law a statute which makes II a. misde-
rneanor FOR the board or any other
county official to contract for greater
expenditures than the amount OF the
receipts in any given period. 81 y
Metzger said he believed the situa-
ton on the Big Island was due In part
to the fact that the county had to
bear an unusual burden last year, the
$20, 600 Investigation authorized by the
ing the $4,000 has mot been paid by
Hawaii county and the warrant has
/ been withheld by the territorial aud
itor. He said this amount was not in
clnded in the list iof the county's ex-
Ipenses for 1914 astis, ti5gfs sGgsf tfs b
II is understood, however, as ex-
planned I'm the resolution read TO the
senate. that the deficit Is due to the
unexpected decrease in the county's
tax receipts. The estimate of receipts
for 1914 had exceeded the actual re-
ceipts by $90,uU0. This was not the
fault of the county officials, but was
due to the big depreciation in taxable
property, a condition which was gen.
eral In somewhat similar degree in
every other county. Il is said that
before the Big Island supervisors
Tearned of the shortage in receipts
their contracts and other expenses had
run far beyond the actual receipts, to
the extent of $25, 900 in fact.
Another resolution from the super.
yisors Of the Big Island asks that the
territorial auditor be authorized to
pay Hawaii county warrants when the
cash on hand in the county Golfers is
exhausted, deducting such amounts
from the receipts due the county from
the territory. Under the present syss
tenn at Hilo, when the available cash
is exhausted the county warrants are
cashed by local bank at a per
cent discount, which the payee loses.
Two resolutions, one from the SUI
perEisors and another from the Kohala
Civic League, ask authorization of the
expenditure of an $1,000 balance re-
naming in the belt road loan fund on
certain stretches Of road through tho
Kohala and Kona districts. The two
resolutions ask for its use of separate
pieces of roadwork.
The teachers of the Hilo Union
school also submitted q resolution fav-
oring H. B. 1856, which proposes the
creation of teachers Insurance by the
territory, but the Hilo instructors
think the tax suggested to be applied
on, the teachers salaries should be
materially reduced.

JUDGE WHITNEY
APPROVES COURT
OF DOMEST|CITY
Plan Proposed Receives Com
mendation Also From Ter
, ritorial Senators


Although Circuit Judge William L.
Whitney has had no hand in the agi-
tation for the establishment OF the
proposed court of domestic relations
he strongly favors the innovation. Be
cause of his work as Judge OF the
Juvenile court he has been interested
In the experiment as Il has been uns
der test in a number OF mainland
cities the last s or years, and he
says that evidently IL has thus far
given satisfaction. In Los Angeles,
for instance, the public has given
hearty approval
Judge Whitney's views on the sub;
ject are interesting and because he
has handled this class Of court work
for many years here he is probably
the best local authority. He says:
'If court Of domestic relations
were TO be established 1t should be
given TO Judge as a division separate
and distinct from the other courts Of
the city and territory, and ! believe
the work would take the courts en-

divided as follows: about 500 juvenile
cases. $50 divorce cases and 100 9th.

depend on the man chosen to ill the
