MIA, who is in Honolulu fresh from his
dwCrk in the campaign which landed
the Pacific coast state in the Bourbon
column, will be the principal speaker.
The prominent position occupied by
Senator Phelan in national affairs, no
less than his active support of Wilson
during the last fCIr years, is taken as
a sufficient guarantee that his address
will be q telling presentation of things
dear to the hearts of BourbOns, while
his connection with Hawaiian affairs
at the capital is an assurance that
what he will have to say anent the
hearing Of national legislation in so
far as it may bear on local matters,
will give his remarks the weight OF
understanding and. authority.
Harry Irwin wiln preside Several
local speakers will have ample time
to tell of the satisfaction they feel at
the result of the recent election.
Those who will speak are:

POLITICS AND THE CITY ENGINEERS
OFFICE

Information reaches the Star Bulletin from re-
liable that City Engineer George Collins is
to be gotten out of Office for political reasons.
Various politicianswe are sorry TO say they are
Repubcans--are credited with the scheme to Sc
cure Collins designations The report in under.
ground political circles sthat the politicians are
after the city engineers scap and if he doesn't take
the tip to resign they will try to make il unpleasant
enough SO that the mayor will ask for his resgna-
ton
The cause of this fight on Collins is perfectly
plain. a city election is coming along next spring.
The engineers Office and the road department often
In the past have been used for political purposes
and the scheme is to use them once more. The
scheme is to get the political machine in smooth
running order and one of the cogs would be the en-
cheering and road department.
George Collins now stands in the path. The very
fact that some Republican politicians want to get
him out proves that he does not take the bidding of
political interests in running his office He runs the
engineering department and the road department on
the merit system SO far as that can be done in any
municipal Office in Honolulu The Star Bulletin has
reyer heard his integrity or impartiaIity in han
ding his Office questioned 1t has been repeatedly
said by men in and out of the city employ that Col
Inns has been steadily raising the efficiency standards
Of the various groups of meH working under his sup
eryision.
Naturally such a man as this does not work in
we'll with the politicians who operate the pat,
ronage" system and who are looking for ways
to build up a political machine preparatory to the
spring election.
The Developments of the next few months will be
closely watched to see whether those who want Col
Inns out of the way will make any open moves TO get
him out

CLAIMS FLORENCE
BRIDGE FAULTY;
WANTS DAMAGES

PHOENIX, Arizona, May 4.--ClaIm-
ing that the faulty construction of the
state highway bridge over the Gila
river at Florence turned that stream
aside and caused it to wash away her
farm, Matte A. Dart has filed claim
against the state of Arizona for dam
ages in the sum of $9,625. The claim
states that the distance between the
piers of the bridge is too short and
also that if culverts had been provided
in the approaches Ito the bridge to
carry off flood waters, the river would
not have flowed over the claimants
farm AS yet no action has been taken
by the state auditor, who will refer the
claim to the board of control for ap-
proval. Armstrong and Lewis and

HAD SOME RECORD;
NOW COPPER MINE

PRESCOTT, May 4.-After being
used as patented homestead, dairy
ranch. a goat range, charcoal plant,
"a timber reserve and a farm, the old
Clark and Adams holdings in the
Thumb Butte district are now develop
ing into one of the most promising
copper mines in the district. Oxidized
.nalcopyrite ore. has been struck at a
depth Of twenty feet and operators are
now planning deep development oper
ations. Two cars of ore were shipped
three years ago from the property to
the Douglas smelter and the results
were so favorable as to bring about
the formation of a company to de-
velop the claims to depth.
