Hughes and the Republicans. But will be some fight.

COUNTY CLERK SAYS
CLERKS ARE NEEDED
AT MANY PRECINCTS

In view of the fact that the inspect
ors of election must perform twice
the amount of their usual work at the
November election because it is held
for both the territorial officials and
the municipal bond issue, David Ka-
lauokalani, county clerk, has written
a letter to the board of supervisors
asking it to grant him power to APP
point clerk for each precinct where
the voters number more than 200. The
clerk is to hold no legal status, but
simply be chosen to aid the inspectors.
If granted clerks will be needed at
all precincts in the fourth district ex-
cept 10 and IL and in the fifth district
at all precincts except 1, 9, 9, 4, 6, Z,

HARSHLY RAPED
system at School Encourages
Dishonesty" Says Alumni
Committee in Report
STUDY COURSE HELD TO BE
|. LOWER THAN 25 YEARS AGO
President Godfrey Declines to
sign Statements; Does
Not Favor Criticism

Emphatic criticism of the military
system at the Kamehameha manual
schocS is voiced in a communication
sent to the trustees of the Bishop Es-
tate and the members of a special
committee appointed by Circuit Judge
Ashford to Investigate the schools. by
committee composed of Charles j..
King, Samuel Keliinoi. Joseph 0rden-
stein, Rudolph NJ. Duncan and Harold
Godfrey, members of. the Kameha ne
ha Alumni Association.
According to Godfrey, head of the
association, the committee originally
was appointed to raise funds to fight
the appeal of the trustees to dects-
ion by Judge Ashford appointing King
a trustee. Godfrey says he refused
to sign the report as he does not agree
with the statement regarding the mill
tary system. and that the report was
prepared without the authority of the
association as whole
The report declares that the milf
tary system encourages dishonesty
on the part OF the boys, particularly
the Officers and that there is al
ways favoritism both on the part OF
the officers and the teachers. Work
ing off of demerits by walking up and
down a. given course for certain
length of time is shameful waste OF
time and energy. To our way
of thinking Kamehameha was never
offended for a military school.
= In conclusion the report says, in
part:
We write this letter with only one
motive in mind and that is to secure
improvements at Kamehameha so
that the school will fill its proper
place in the educational field of the
territory in every respect.
1t is cause for great humiliation for
us to be informed that the school has
adopted a course of study that is
much lower than it was 25 years ago.

Will Bid and il Successful
Erect BIG Building

More important, so far at least as
values are concerned than any public
auction ever held In Honolulu, is the
sale of what is known as the Mahuka
site at noon tomorrow. The govern
ment has set minimum of 100000
for bids to be entertained, but there
is no doubt that bidders are ready TO
go well above those figures. lndivi.
dual bidders will be in attendance and
representatives of combinations or
Euis win also be there. A represen-
tative of one Of the huis said this
morning that he was ready to bid
s210, 900, but guesses as to the price
which the property will bring run well
over that price, ranging generally be-
tween $250,000 and 100000.
Since the Star-B Bulletin made the
first announcement that the govern
ment had directed Collector Franklin
to sell the premises once sought for
a federal building site, interest in the
sale has grown steadily. There have
been rumors of huis formed for the
purchase of the land and for a dfvi-
sion, of the premises in case of sue
cessful bidding or of combinations to
buy it in and erect large buildings.
Some of these have been well authenti-
Gated
A report that was heard this morn

is to the effect that Castle & Cooke

the firm wants property adjacent to

building is to be erected within a
