wrath and ridicule OF his brothers.
Supervisor larsen, who had signed
the recommendation unwitfingly, as
he admitted, led the opposition and
took advantage Of the opportunity TO
express several feelings that he had
concerning work at the police station.

Horner explained that the escapes

Il never lost q man." said Larsen,
growing In eloquence as he pointed q
large index finger at his own chest
II served there eight long years and
never o man escaped me IN that time
Mr. HorneT almost swooned beneath
the flood of wrath that was poured
out upon him. but Mr.. Hollinger came
to his aid and detracted Larsen's at
tention long enough for Horner to get
his breath.
SHOT Fair Says Holiinser.
Mr.. Chairman" said Hollinger, with
an ethical smile playing over his
broad features, II object to this TRADE
from Mr.. Larsen. do not think II
is sincere. Larsen signs q report and
then gets up here and fights the chair
man Of his own committee when the
thing Is read. II is not fair and 1t Is
not consistent"
The words were few, but they were
sufficient. and putting out with rage
Larsen swung his chair toward the
pleader for sincerity and fair play.
eMr. Chairman he shouted. Il OBJ
ject to these continual reprimands
from Mr., Hollinger. He insists on
picking holes IN me and my character
and I have to sit here and take It,
One of these days he Will md that
he has said too much and will take

Il was at this critical junctbre that
Chairman Logan raped on the may
or's desk with his knnckle, and called
for order. Supervisor Arnold rose
and moved that the matter be referred
to- the finance committee and
the motion passed but the cashier Of
the Honolulu Construction & Draying
Company and the foreman of the Hus-.
tace-Peck Company lowered at each
other for several minutes afterward.

Mr.. Atkinson and Mr.. ChiIlingworth

defeated.
Two delegates and one spectator
were asleep at this stage OF the pro-
ceedings, and one Of the delegates was
rudely awakened when he began to
snore. The incident brought forth .
ripple of laughter.
Senator Achi offered an amendment
of great importance. putting the en-.
tire school system, including the ap-
pointment of all teachers and school
officials. in the hands OF the mayor.
The amendment aimed to take away
from the Territory all authority over
Honolulu schools, and would have Civ.

In appointments and In establishing
schools and arranging their curricu
lum. The amendment met with strong
opposition and was tabled on roll call
On motion of Mr. Castro section rs
was amended so as, to make 1t neces
sary for the city and county clerk to
sign all warrants issued by the audi,
tor. Mr.. Castro said that It was mere
II good business policy" to check all
warrants, and that the city clerk, who
keeps q accord of the bills as they are
approved by the supervisors. could
easily check them again and thus
make sure of no oyerpayments.
All sections referring to the duties
of the superintendent OF city works
