HOSPITAL TRUCK
BREAKS RECORD
Especial Star Bulletin Correspoudenee)

Especial Star Bulletin Correspondence
DOUGLAS, Ariz., Feb 2S.-Field
Hospital No. 2, commanded by Mai c.
c. Collins, returning from practise
run to Tucson recently, broke all rec
ords so far as known here With ten
G.MC. trucks, each carrying load of
a tone and half, the hospital corps
made the run of $50 miles in one day
without the slightest accident of any
kind, leaving Tucson early in the
morning and arriving here at dusk.
Some of the grades were heavy, and
the roads were not exactly like boule-
wards.
The hospital company left here dur
ing the last snow storm and had some
bad weather, taking two days for the
trip to Old Pueblo. The roads were
slippery and sometimes muddy, so that
it was a good test of motor truck
transportation for the army. The men
were given plenty of opportunity to
pry trucks out of mud holes with their
backs, and the drivers had some mar
row roads to get over which were so
slippery that inefficient driving would
have meant a loop the loop over the
mountainside, but there was not even
a mishap serious enough to cause a
man to use improper language.

URGES
BILL TO MAKE
AUTOS SEIzABLE

At the invitation of the senate
judiciary committee, Judge C.. w.
Ashford of the circuit court, father
of the bill now in the legislature
whereby automobiles or other We
hicles figuring in collisions might be
seized by injured persons as dam.
ages, was present in the meeting
this morning.
Judge Ashford argued for the bill
on the ground that such vehicles be-
ing the offending things" were as
proper for seizure as are ships in
admiralty cases.
He said that while the prime OBJ
ject of the bill is to give injured per-
sons some redress, he believes
it will also act Indirectly to lessen
the number of irresponsible drivers
throughout the islands. There are all
too many now, he said.
This is the bill to which local auto
mobile dealers are opposed, largely
on the ground, 1t is said, that many
of the machines driven here ARE
purchased under mortgage. Judge
Ashford did not believe this fact
should stand in the way of the bills
passage.

CONTINGENT FUND
RESOLUTION TO BE
HEARD ON MONDAY

Speaker H. l.. Holstein's resolu-
tion instructing the finance committee
to delete from the appropriation bill
the item of $150,000 as the governor S
contingent fund. comes up for hear
ing in the house next Monday morn
ing.
Holstein has taken a stand in op.
position to the governor being given
any money to spend, such as he is
now allowed in his contingent fund,
and on Monday proposes to take the
floor in support of his resolution. He
declares that, during the last two
years, the money in the governors
contingent fund has been expended
''unwisely and injudiciously."
Discussing today a report that a
member of the senate would oppose
the deletion, Speaker Holstein said:
This senator says he believes the
governor should have money for en-.
tertainment purposes That is all
right. But it must be remembered
that the governors entertainment
fund and contingent fund are two
separate items. / am not opposing
the entertainment fund. believe
the governor should have one. But
/ am certainly opposed to his having
a contingent fund. If the senator in
question has the idea that the enter
tainment and contingent funds are
one and the same, he is entirely mis-
taken" -. T..
Representative Tavares' resolution
calling for an investigation of the ex.
penditure of money by the harbor
board and public utilities commission
is also scheduled to come up for
hearing on Monday.

Finance Committee of Opinion
Counties Should Bear
Expenses

Hopes OF securing territorial aid for
Fairgrounds were dimmed in the
house today when, on recommends
ton OF the finance committee, house
bin SO, introduced by Representative
c. II. Cooke, appropriating $4,000 for
the establishment and maintenance OF
Fairgrounds IN the territory, was
tabled.
The committee reported on the bill
as follows:
After due AMI careful consideration
OF this bill your committee believes
the maintenance and establishment OF
Fairgrounds in the territory is a mat
ter for the individual counties and
that the appropriation sought should
not come under the head of territorial
appropriations.
Your committee recognizes and is
heartily in sympathy with the work
that the Free kindergarten and Chill
dren's Aid Association. OF Hawaii is
doing for the children OF this city and
county through the grounds it has es-
tablisned.'
In case additional funds are fur
nished the city and county of Homo
lulu through increase of the tax rate,
your COMMITTEES trusts that the board
OF supervisors wifi increase its al
lowance for that purposes but it is
loath, under the present financial con-
ditions of the city, to direct such ap-
preparation. We therefore recommend
the tabling OF the bill"
Asks Homestead Data
Representative keiekolio introduced
two resolutions, one relating to the
$4,000 appropriation by the 1911 leg
islature for purchasing private lands
In North and South Kona for home
stead purposes, and the other relating
to the appropriation of $4,000 by the
1913 legislature OF lands In Waipio for
the same purpose. The resolutions
direct the land commission to furnish
the house with data regarding action

SENATE DELAYS IN
PROBE OF PIERS

IF reports made by the newspaper
lately be correct-and ! do not doub
that they are-certain meetings of thu
harbor board have been scandalous
Statements made by the superinten
tendent Of public works have been ou
Of form and are disgraceful.'
Senator A. L. Castle, standing amiC
fellow members of the upper house il
this mornings meeting, spoke thus
urging upon them the importance of ;
resolution Just received from the
house of representatives suggesting {
Joint committee to investigate Piers
I s, 9 and 10.
Asks Delay to Monday
Castle said he did not refer to state
nents made by men of common tenn
permanent as Cornissioners Mccarthy
and Church, but to those of Chairman
Forbes. He spoke also of those tina
had been made recently In public util
tiles commission meetings He moved
that consideration of the resolution be
deferred until Monday
Senator Castles statement is cor
rect" said President Chillingworth
and we are reading of such meetings
every day in the newspapers favor
a committee to investigate this mat
ter, the only question in my mind be
ing whether it should be a standing
committee or one made up Of repre-
sentatipes of all the islands,.
Castle suggested that a smaller com.
mittee than that in the house might
be more effective and as he was sit
ting down, Pacheco rose.
Start Without Prejudice Urged
I'm in favor OF Joint committee,
ne declared, but I'm opposed to any
expression of opinion at this time We
can not always go by newspaper COM
ments. they may be personal or po-
litical We must have fair and inn
partial investigation of this pier mat
ter and let us take 1t up with unpreju-
diced minds"
Chillingworth said he had spoken
on the strength of Forbes own letter
to the senate asking for an iavestiga-
tion and stating that he had been
kicked from pillar to post by the pub
lic."
u was opposed to accepting that
letter." Pacheco answered. 1T seem
ed to me as If the superintendent was
looking for some sort of justification
or whitewash when he sent it to
US. If We do anything on the PROPOSE
ton let us do it of our own accord,
not because he sent a letter in here .
A vote was then taken on the mo-
tion to defer. the date chosen for
action being Monday
The public improvements commit
tee of the house has laid the founda-
ton for the probe. and yesterday q
concurrent resolution was introduced
requesting the senate to appoint a
committee to work with the house,
thus eliminating greater expense and
Late yesterday afternoon
C. r. Forbes. superintendent of pub

Dor board, requested the senate to

Hawaii Sends Half Dozen and
Maui Adds Share; Business
Goes Rapidly On

Floods of petitions and resolutions
for and against legislative bills, sweep
ing down upon the grave upper house
members this morning from outside
islands, formed one Of the most strik-
ing features of a two-hour session.
Some of the petitions opposed bills
already tabled, some urged bills
already accepted, and some were for
or against bills now under considera-
ton. but all we're given due considera-
ton by the senate.
Hawaii Sends Six
From Hawaii came six resolutions
adopted by the county supervisors OF
the Big Island, as follows:
Against House Bill 14S, relating to

Mile bridge and Kuhio wharf; for

duction and sale of milk; for House
Bill 176. relating to disposition OF Po-
nahawai lots, South Hilo; for House
Bills 56 and So, relating to setting
aside of lands for a hospital and for
botanical gardens.
There came in opposition to this
latter bill petition from IA residents
Of the land in question, and over the
whole matter Senators Makekau and
Desha staged a verbal battle that
would have done credit to the tent
scene between Brutus and Cassius.
Makekau intimated that the resolu-
ton of the supervisors favoring the
setting aside Of the land had been kept
out OF sight until the committee had
acted. Desha's gorge rose at the In
timation. He rose heatedly and begged
a question Of privilege.
do you mean, do you mean?" he
flashed Are you accusing me OF
keeping that letter? Why IL came to
me in the mail this morning"
Makekau smiled. evidently at the
down. Baldwin then asked that the
bill be re-referred to the lands com
mittee and this was granted.

morning along the line Of those al.
ready introduced by him. wiping out
