ON BREAKWATER
American Surety Co. to Ad-
vance $4,000 Alleged Owing
Working Men in Hilo
BOND CONCERN OFFERED
TO COMPLETE PROJECT
But George E. Marshall Refused
Proposition of October 18,
Attorneys Assert

Labor on the HilO breakwater VIII
not lose a months wages of approXl-
mately SS00e because the L. 8. govern
ment has annulled its contract with
George r. Marshall and called upon
the American Surety Company. Mar
shall's bondsman, to complete the
breakwater under the contract.
Richard Deming, Yice-pres1dent OF
the bonding company, announced to-
day tlidt the $4,000 allegedeIo TO be owing
the breakwater laborers by MarshaR
for a months wages will be paid inn
mediately. According to counsef Tor
the surety company this debt OF $S0oO
for wages has been incurred during
Marshalrs regime as contractor.
I'VE do not feel" says Deming,
that this money should be kept from
the laborers. We might be liable for
this money six months after the COM
pletion of the breakwater and its ac-
ceptance, according to the terms OF
the contract. Instead of making the
men wait that six months We feel that
this money should be paid. 1t will
be advanced immediately.
The surety company, through its
attorneys, today made public a por-
ton of a letter written to Contractor
Marshall on October IS, this year.
This portion of the communication is
self-explanaaorv. reading as follows:
rhis company, in the event that
you find yourself unable to proceed
under the contract, is willing to COM
plete the same as surety and viii vol.
unfairly waive any profit which might
accrue from the completion OF such
work by the undersigned, and hereby
offers that in such event the entire
profit, If any, made upon said con-
tract if taken over by the undersign-
ed, will go to you
President Deming asserts that
this offer was turned down by Mar
shall. Neither Deming or the attor-
neys for the surety company today
could give any reason for the govern
ment annuling it's contract with Mar
shall. From information received in
Honolulu the contract was annulled
on October 10, this year.
The surety company alleges that
Marshall is in debt tc it in the sum Oh
about $143,000 Marshall today fileu
in circuit court demurrer to the
company's action for specific perform
ance of contract. A large part of the
breakwater plant belongs to the sur
ETY. company. d. ming says. Some few
pieces of the plant. however, are the
property of Marshall
Deming expects to leave for Hilo
next Wednesday. He says the con-
Struction work on the breakWater will
be taken over Immediately by the
bonding concern and that there will
be little or no delay.

ARE
NOT SEPARATION
PROJECTS-BROVN
Were Simply Made to Clear Up
Ambiguous Phrases in By
Laws of Chamber


That the proposed changes in the
bylaws of the Chamber of Commerce
relating to the Promotion Committee
were made and intended to clear up
the ambiguous phrases which exist,
resulting from a changed citItttlon
arising cut OF the appropriating OF
$4,000 by the territory and other
causes, was the declaration today OF
Raymond G.. Brown, secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce.
"In drawing up these amendments,
Brown said, 1T was never intended to
separate the committee from the ter
ritory but rather on the other hand
to bring all the civic and government
al bodies closer together and leave no
chance for misunderstanding to
arise in thief uture over the phrase
ology of the bylaws. Up to this time
everybody has worked in harmony
and we want it to continue so and the
intimation that these amendments
will lead to a separation of the gov
ernment and the committee is entirely
wrong and is simply making much TO
do about nothing. The suggestions OF
these changes came from the Promo
ton Committee the first of the year
and | only waited until / could pre-
pare all the proposed amendments and
present them at one time. Tne
changes wer drawen up in conformity
with advices from the various COM
mittees, including the legal and I'M
ance and audit committees.
Hears No Movement
A. p. Taylor, secretary of the Pro
motion Committee, said today that he
had not heard of any movement TO
separate the Promotion Committee
from the territorial government ana
he has no idea of the authority .n1t
made the statement.
he committee worked for several
wears to obtain the government ap-
nropriation OF $4,000 and it certainly
has no intention now of eliminating u
as it gives it an official status, ne
said. when the territory appropriat-
cd the money he continued, II was
specified that the governor should ap-
point a member from each of the four
large islands to represent their coun-
ty on thee ommittee. The order tnat
the committee shall meet at least
once on each island during each year
Is one of the bylaws of the Chamber
of Commerce and with which the ter
ritory mas nothing to GO"
Taylor added that when the Promo
ton Committee received the money
from the territory the question came
up as to how the travelling expenses
of committeeman should be paid. The
matter was taken up with the finance
and audit committee of the Cha1ber
OF Commerce and it decided that they
should have all travelling and hotel
paid by the committee.
Relations Cordial
1.-THE relations between the other
island member has been extremely
friendly and cooperative" Taylor con-
tinued. "and ] would not for mo-
ment think of doing away with that
as il has materially in
creased the work which the promo
ton is doing to advertise the Hawai-
ian islands. I"
The amendments to it's bylaws as
by the Chamber of Com
nerce, Is in number. will be voted on
1t the regular meeting to be held

In the case brought by Bishop Ii
bert against Leong the former sought
to quiet title to lands at kamakela,
Honolulu. Judgment of the lower
court was entered here on August 2l,
1918, holding that the defendant was
owner in fee to an undivided one-half
interest. This judgment was affirm
ed by the supreme court, Bishop Ii
bert appealing to the supreme court
of the U. s.
The case of George Ward against
the Inter-Island Co. was for damages
in the sum of $4,000, and was begun
in 1912. The Inter-Island took the
case from the local supreme court to
the circuit court of appeals of the
ninth circuit, losing in that court. 1t
then appealed to the supreme court,
where the action has been dismissed
for want of jurisdiction.
The cablegram received by the Star
Bulletin today says. referring to this
case, that the appeal should go tc the
ninth circuit court of appeals" The
law firm of Smith, Warren and SUIT
ton, counsel for the Inter-Island Co.,
believes this to be an error. stating
that the case already has been before
the court of appeals. In the opinion
OF the firm the decision of the su-
preme court brings the case to a close.

GERMAN OFFICIAL
CABLE

GERMAN HEADQUARTERS, Oct.
2S.-In the western war theater Crown
Prince Rupprecht army group on the
north bank of the Somme, infantry en-
gagements began anew yesterday.
Preceded by strong artillery prepara-
ton the English attacked across the
line from Guedecourt to Lesboeufs and
the French in the adjoining district of
Moryal in the evening hours. Our
troops repulsed the enemy with artil-
lery and machine gun fire and north
east of Morval also with the bayonet.
Our positions were in all instances
completely retained.
In the army group of the crown
prince, east of the Meuse. there were
also renewed heavy engagements of
us. After the violent artillery fire
strong French forces rushed from Thi-
amont wood and from both sides of
Fort Douaumont and the Fumin
woods to attacks, which were all brok-
en- down before our positions with
heavy losses to the enemy.
in the eastern theater on Prince
Leopold's front the Russians, after
two days fire against the sector west
of Luck. yesterday attacked near Eat
ucy. The attack failed under heavy
artillery fire with heavy losses to the
attacking forces.
On Arch Duke Carl's front on both
sides of Dornavatara the Austro-Hun-
garian troops entered the Russians
positions and captured several heights
at the point of the bayonet, and bring
ing in eight officers and 500 enlisted
men as prisoners. On the Transylva-
MIA east front fighting in the frontier
valleys continues. South of Kronstadt
our troops took a Rumanian position
on the heights by a surprise. Our ad-
vance extended successfully by sharp
pressure until the valley of Partzuda
was reached. Otherwise the situation
in this group is not essentially chang-
ed.
In the Balkan war theater on Field
Marshal Mackensen's front in north
ern Dobrhdja our pursuing detach-
ments until now have had little resist
ance. Everything indicates that the
enemy still retreats in haste. Prison
ers were made of 500 isolated soldiers.
Several munition columns and much
baggage were captured :
On the Macedonian front Seil ian
attacks against German and Bulgar-
ian positions near Cernabend failed,
as well ss partial advances by the
enemy on the east slopes of Mogelen-
cia and southwest of Doiran lake
Near Strouma there were skirmishes
between patrols and near Orfano i've
ly artillery fire. III
