QUIT FIGHTING
ANDfIk ROADS,
ISPARTING SHOT

"You people ought to quit your
fighting, get together and fix your
roads, were the parting words of F.
G.. Bonfils of the Denver Post who,
with Mrs. Bonfils and Miss Bonfils
and quite number of the Denver
contingent, left for home on the Great
Northern last night. e
Those golf links at the Country Club
are the greatest links / have ever
seen, bar none. i have spent most Of
my time there.
You people have great opportuni.
ties here If you will take advantage
of them l should think you would
be enthusiastic in backing up the
Great Northern enterprise. 1t ought
to get the solid and enthusiastic sup
port of all your merchants.
But you are not going to get any
where by everlastingly fighting, and
appealing to Washington with petty
troubles"
Leaving on the same steamer other
Denver people were Mr. and Mrs.
Harry James, Mr.. Morgan, DIR. and
Mrs. Dearborn and Mr.. Fleming of
Kansas, who says he is coming back
in short time to renew his game at
the Country Club. Samuel Nicholson
and Miss Nicholson are staying over
a few weeks more, during which they

OFFICIALS
LOATH To GIVE
REVENUES away
Object to Having Territory Re-
ceive Portion of Receipts
From Corporations

I'VE do not favor such compro-
mise" says city officials today in re-
gard to the plan OF Chairman Charles
R. Forbes of the public utilities CON-
mission, whereby the territory shall
receive a portion of the receipts from
local utility corporations, rather than
that the receipts shall go to the city
entire. .~..-.
Chairman Forbes stated last night
at a meeting of the commission that
he had suggested the division scheme
in order to save the bills from being
tabled, the bills as drafted being in
tended for Honolulu only.
Treasurer d. L. Conkling said today
that he is thoroughly opposed to such
compromise.
u do not think" says the treasur-
er, that the intention of the legisla-
ture should be frustrated on the en-
deavor of anybody to keep the coun-
ty out of what the legislature intend
ed to give it.
The companies themselves have to
pay the money, and they do not care
to whom it is paid. They feel that
as long as it is earned in Honolulu
it ought to be spent here" ..
Treasurer Conkling says that he in
tends to use such influence as he has
with congressman to see that the
measure goes through SO that the city
and county shall receive the entire
portion. H. -. ~.
81 contend" says Supervisor Dan
lei Logan of the finance committee,
that the reason given in Washing
ton as reported by Mr.. Forbes is no
reason at all. The city charter is a
separate law from the county act
''If this were a matter of amend
ments to the city charter or county
act, or to both together, there might
be force in the reason given. These
bills before Congress are amendments
to the charters of the two public
utility companies, namely the Hawaii
an Electric and Honolulu Gas Com.

Logan told the board the other night
that he believed somebody had broken
faith with the city and county. -
I mentioned he says, that when
Delegate ]. X. Kalanianaole was sit.
ting by the mayors side at certain
meeting some months ago / urged
on him the necessity of pushing this
amendment to the charter amendment
acts as the city was badly in need of
the funds. The only satisfaction l re-
ceiyed from the delegate was a state
ment by him to the effect that when
Honolulu became real city with the
power to lev ytaxes then the people
in Washington would be ready to lis

nature. Several local machines were
compelled to stop to change tires, but
SO far as Is known none missed the
game through accident or tire
trouble. The most serious accident
occurred when the touring car owned
and driven by Lawyer Morris ID. SAKE
went out of commission about five
miles outside of New Haven. lnvestl-
cation showed that the TRANSMISSION
was broken and the local party had TO
rely on the courtesy and generosity Of
passing motorists to get them into the
city in time for the game.

after the game. Several local
students at Yale threw open their
apartments and entertained friends
during the evening.
A car owned and driven by William

previous probation was revoked. He
has been sought for some time, espe-
cially since July "a when he wrote
his wife that he would give her no

allow Probationer officer Connolly to
collect his pay and was allowed to go
with this understanding.
