at Koko Head

Rumors that Kenneth Mcclure,
railroad freight clerk at Pier 20, had
drowned while on fishing trip to
Koko Head on Saturday evening,
were found to be untrue late yester.
day.
Mcclure hired An You, Chinese
chauffeur at a local auto stand, to
take him out to Koko Head on Satur'

he would phone for the automobile in
the morning to convey him home.
Morning came and no phone message
had been received by All You. Be

Frank Sttllman, knowing he was a
close friend of Mcclure, and told him
the story. He thought perhaps the
boy might have drowned while fish

In the meantime, while at Koko
Head, McKuire found the sea too
rough for fishing and started home
about midnight, walking the distance,
and arriving home about 2 o'clock on
Sunday morning. Feeling tired he
remained in bed until about noon.

has gone on and what was ample for

the city needs now. The extension of
the fire and police alarm system has
entailed small increase. as in 1909
1t cost $500 and now is being run for
S4400 year. This charge has been
sufficient each year since 1912.
Cost Of JaiIihs Scars.
The cost of maintenance of the
county jails has increased so per cent
since 1909, when $4,000 took care of
the city's wards; $21, 900 was the bill
in 1915.
Honolulu likes recreation as well as
food inspection, medical and hospital
attendance and fire and police pro.

penditures for pleasure from $31 600
in 1903 to $4,000, which it cost last
year to maintain the band and deveI-

Landers. "The English feed the pris-

The best evidence that the Eng

The pauper dead cost the city $4,000
