WAIAHOLEfLOW
WELL AHEADOF
EARLY FIGURES
Water Secured is More Than
Twice Estimate When Pro-
iect Was Undertaken

For the past few months reports
have persistently declared that the
water flow from the Waiahole project
which irrigates the 0ahn plantation
was not satisfactory and was a disap-
pointment to the officers and directors
Of the company.
That the reports are absolutely un-
true and that the flow far exceeds the
amount expected and even hoped for,
was the statement made today by both
Georg Rodiek, treasurer, and j. f. G..
Hagens, secretary, OF the Waiahole
Water Company.
Charts of the flow each day for the
past six mouths, from June to No
vember inclusive, show that the flow
has averaged per month well over
80, ,000, 900 gallons day while on some
days II ran well up towards so, 0,000, 900
gallons. For the entire system, In
Guiding the Waiahole, Waiawa, XII
papa and Waikakalaua bitches, the
lowest monthly average during the six
months was 29.500,000 gallons and the
largest flow was 49, 100000 gallons. In
the Waiahole Glitch, the main artery,
the lowest floggh has 26,S00,000 and
the highest 81 ,40O,O 200.
In speaking of the flow Rodiek said
that when the project was first under
taken the directors expected about
IL, 5,000,9 900 gallons a day. With this
statement and the, showing of the
charts it is evident that the Waiahole
project is more than satisfactory and
capable OF supplying all the water
needed. It was also pointed out that
the Oahu Sugar Company would not
increase its sugar cane area over so
per cent, which it is doing, unless
there was sufficient water to handle
the increased acreage and unless that
fact had been definitely determiped.

SAYS
ROCK IS NEEDED

That any person or firm may take
sand out of Kapiolani park providing
they return an equal amount of soil
but that the Honolulu Construction &
Drayins Company many times in place
of the soil has returned quarry stone
are the facts of the case which was
exposed by Supervisor Hatch at the
last meeting Of the board of super
visors.
Supervisor Ben Hollinger explained
the action of the Honolulu Construc-
tion & Draying Company by saying
that the rock was dumped in to pre-
vent the soil from sinking down
through the sand and that the company
was not making any money out of the
exchange. The fact, however, that the
sand is selling for approximately $1.50
q cubic yard while the quarry rock
brings GO cents, according to the fig
ures of the city purchasing agent, re-
mains.
Most of the supervisors are greatly
worked up over the action of the park
officials in permitting the sand to be
taken away Judge Hatch said today
that he believed it is violation of
the law. "Kapiolani park is held in
trust for the people" he said, 'and no
one but the legislature has any power
to give permission to take away even
stone. / am not objecting so much
to the fact that quarry rock is being
dumped into the park, which alone is
bad enough, but l believe that the
sand in the first place should not have
been carted away"
Supervisor Horner said that so
much sand has been taken away that
enormous holes are left which woulo
not have been the case if an equal
amount of soil had been returned.

FOREIGN CONSULS
HERE RETICENT

OF the statements given to the Star
Bulletin today regarding opinions on
President Wilson's proposal to war
ring nations that they outline terms
of peace. one of the most expressive
came from Dr. Charles F. Dole, the
famous pacifist now visiting here,
who is well pleased at the presidents S
actions. Several consuls here of the
various countries affected were gen.
orally silent although most of them
admitted everyone wanted peace.
In the face of an interview given
the Star-Bulletin yesterday by DR..
Dole in which he regretted the fact
that the United States and other neu-
trails had not pushed Germany's peace
proposals. the doctor was especially
jubilant over the new turn in inter-
national affairs and laughed when he
was told the president had made quick
response to his suggestions yesterday
in the Star-Bulletin.
Il don't know how much good the
presidents action will work" Dr. Dole
said, but certainly it will do no harm
and | can not help hoping that it is
a real move towards peace. Any act
which may place the beIIigerents in
meditative mood will tend towards the
best"
DR.. Augustus Marques. consul for
Russia and France, said there was abb
solutely nothing he could say on the
matter and declared that whatever
happened certainly Russia would act
in accordance with England and
France.
Georg Rodiek, German consul, de-
clined to make any comment other
tI4an that he was strongly in favor Oh
peace, and Herman p F. Sehultze.
consul for Austria Hungary, did not
care to be quoted.
E. L. S. Gordon, British consul and
acting for Italy, likewise refrained
from any expression. He stated that
il was not within his province to COM
ment on such matters.

ONE EXAMINATION ONLY
FOR HOSPITAL SERGEANTS

Soldiers in the Medical Corps who
are planning on taking examinations
for promotion early next year will be
allowed to answer only one set of
questions for master hospital sergeant
or hospital sergeant.
The candidate must decide which
rank he wishes to try for and state
this in applying for privilege to take
the examination. A man will not be
allowed to take the examination for
master hospital sergeant in January
and in February take the examination
for hospital sergeant. The two exam
nations are to be held about two
weeks apart. Information regarding
them has been received at department
headquarters.

TO HOLD
SESSION TO AIR
PIER CONDITIONS
Says Engineers Will Present
Sworn Statements That
Nothing is Wrong

To thresh out completely the ques-
ton of plans, specifications and con-
struction work on the new concrete
piers at. the foot of Fort street and
to air the matter to the satisfaction
of those interested, Charles r. Forbes,
Chairman. has called meeting ~ef-the
board tomorrow night in the Capitol
at 1880 o'clock.
This is Forbes answer to the ae-
cusations made yesterday afternoon in
meeting by Ed Lord, president OF the
Lord-Y Young Engineering Company,
contractors, that the plans he had
drawn were faulty-a thing which
caused a near-fight at the meeting.
Today engineers of the public
works department worked throughout
the forenoon on the new piers, taking
measurements and running lines.
Forbes said following their inspection
that they will submit their state
ments regarding the piers, sworn to
before notary.
IF the commission wants an inves-
tigation from outside engineers" SAID
the chairman today, Il am ready for
it, but it is useless expense, for these
men will give the exact data in the
matter.
II was sore yesterday when Lord
made his accusation" admitted
Forbes. THE whole thing is the re-
suit of the trouble they had with our
inspector. If that had not come up.
there nothing would have happened
yesterday. There is nothing wrong
with the piers"
1t is understood that engineers to-
day found Pier out of line by one
fourth of an inch-this because the
forms gave slightly in pouring the
cement and not because of any set
thing. Lord alleged that they were
out by from two to five inches yester-
day and would some day go out to
sea.
The lie was freely passed between
the two men yesterday when the sub
ject came up at the meeting, Lord hav-
ing declared that the plans should be
changed to save big future loss to
the territory Commissioner Nc
Carthy today stood staunchly by the
suggestion that he made yesterday
for an investigation by outside people.
He said he believes this the right at
titude and fair to both parties.

IS WORKING FOR
BETTER TEACHERS

Commenting further on statement
given the Star-Buletin Wednesday
that more money is needed by the de-
partment of public instruction for the
substitution of trained teachers for
teachers not certificated, Superintend-
ent Henry w. Kinney said today that
the time must come when every pub
lie school teacher in the islands must
be- thoroughly trained.
This" he adds, lis what we are
now working for We have to EN-.
ploy a number of teachers who have
had no professional training whatever,
and one reason is that we have far
from sufficient funds to employ all of
the graduates of the territorial nor
NAL school," .".....
He says that it will take some time
to put such plan into working or.
der. as 1t depends largely on the
amount of money in hand and the en-
rolment at the Normal school
