HAWAII DELAY
HAL7S REPORTS
ON REGISTRATION
Kauai and Maui Carried Out
Work Without Expense
to u. S.

The Islands of Maui and Kauai have
carried out their registration work
without a single item of expense to
the federal government, according to
a statement today by F. j. Green,
executive officer of the central board.
These islands and Oahu have respond
ed nobly to the call for gratuitous ser
vice.
Mr.. Green today received the final
statements from Sheriff Glenn Crowell
of Maui, who, he says, along with the
board of supervisors and registrars
has done absolutely all that could be
expected.
Kauai has been first to get in the
summarization report, but to Maui
goes the honor Of filing first the
complete returns.
Owing to the action of the Hawaii
toard of supervisors" said Mr.. Green,
the full report to the territory will
be greatly delayed, and l am not able
to say at present when this will be
sent to Washington
Sheriff Rose and his helpers, with
their big share of the registration bur
den, are working day and night to get
their report filed for this island

The Japanese newspapers have been
consulted and asked to run notices
and stories of the meeting. Originally
it was hoped to send each man a
personal invitation, but the heavy
work Of the registration board of

MAYOR LOSES
RIGHT TO NAME
CITY ENGINEER
Deputy Attorney Davis Rules
Power to Fill Appointment is
Vested in Board of Super.
ViSorS BY Old Ordinance

INDER ordinance 80 the appoint.
ment Of the city and county en-
~ gineer is vested solely in the
hoard of supervisors and the mayor
has nothing to do with it."
This is the bomb which was
dropped by Deputy City Attorney
Charles Davis at the meeting Of the
board of supervisors Monday night
and as a result the entire situation
relative to the office of city and coun'
ty engineer has been changed In IA
vorbof the Republicans.
The surprise was sprung by Attor-
ney Davis following the request OF
Supervisor Mcclellan for legal opin-
ion of the ordinance establishing the
position of assistant city and county
whether the board had the power to
give the assistant the same powers
vested in the city engineer.
Ordinance 80 establishes the office
of city and county engineer and was
passed years ago by board which
had the right to appoint and since
then no law has been passed changing
its meaning, according to Mr.. Davis.
When the ordinance creating an as
sistant engineer came up for third
reading Supervisor Mott-Smith asked
that the vote be deferred as he would
like to have a report from the road
department on the subject.
Supervisor Arnold replied that the
reorganization of the road and engi.
neering departments hinged on the
passage of the ordinance and urge
that the vote be taken. Supervisors
Hollinger and AHA also came out IN
favor of voting at once. Supervisor
eyes, taoaglit the board
ought to, appoint city engineer now
and not bother about an assistant.
Mr.. Mott-Smith, however, held out
for the report first.
Supervisor Petrie then made an APP
peal to the board to get together
with the mayor and settle on, some
man who would be acceptable az city
engineer.
You won't say that you are not
big enough to meet the mayor and
take the question up openly" he said.
Supervisor Mcclellan then raised
the question of validity resulting IN
Attorney Davis answer.

KOREANS SEEK
SUPPRESSION OF
VICE ON OAHU
Association SoIicits Aid of
Anti Saloon League in EIIm-
mating Liquor, Gambling

Suppression of vice, including drink
ing. gambling and opium smoking,
among the Koreans in Hawaii, is the
basis of a territory-w1de campaign
which has been launched by the Ko-
rean National Association, and IN
which the cooperation OF the Anti
Saloon League has been solicited.
In letters which are being sent out
by the association, outlining the pur-
pose of the campaign it is pointed out
that it is the desire of the members
to aid the courts, the police author
ties and the plantation heads In en-
forcing all laws relating to gambling,
drinking and opium-smoking. These
vices, says the letter, are becoming
prevalent among Koreans working on
plantations, as well as among those
living In the cities. The letter adds
that a majority OF the Koreans in Ha-
wall are opposed to these vices, and
stand ready to do their share TOWARD
suppressing them.
The letter follows:
The Korean National Association,
an incorporated body for the purpose
of raising the standard of the Korean
people in the territory of Hawaii, and
the leaders of the Korean churches,
have recently requested the Anti-Sa-
loon League, which organization ex'
lists Tor the purpose of promoting tenn
perance and public morals, to cooper
ate with them In regard to the sup
uresston of certain vices, which they
have found are becoming to some ex-
tent prevalent among the Koreans
working on the plantations as well as
those living in the cities.
aThey state that q majority OF the
Koreans in the islands are opposed TO
these vices and are ready to stand
together ia suppressing the evils OF
dTihlin eafiI6lIg ma Ills
ina The Anti-Saloon League isI spe-
ciaIly requested to assist the Koreans
N bringing before the court and POI
lice authorities and plantation man
ayers their desire to aid In enforcing
the law very rapidly among their coun'
trymen. ~
'The Korean leaders have express
ed their appreciation of the coopera-
ton OF the plantation managers In the
past, but have, felt in some cases the
enforcement of the law against drink
ing and opium-smoking has not been
rigid enough. The Korean National
Association leaders would like the
managers to instruct the
plantation policemen to cooperate
with Korean policemen in prohibiting
the aforementioned vices from being
carried on in Korean camps and also
in prohibiting the Korean laborers
from going into the Chinese camps
where such vices are said to be most
prevalent. They further state that
the Korean policemen are instructed
to arrest all violators Of the law but
that they are powerless, unless they
are backed up by the regular polsce-
men Of the plantations.
The Anti.Saloou League feels that
this movement of the Koreans Is a
very wholesome one for life on the
plantation. We sincerely hope that
this cooperation with you in this mat
ter will be helpful"

INJUNCTION SUIT
ISDISMISSED

AS the mules belonging to the Schu-
man Carriage Co. have been removed
from the quarantine station at Ala
Moana, the company today discontin-
ued the injunction suit brought
against A. H. Rice and other members
az the board of agriculture and for

board from moving the Farm dairy
herd, in which anthrax first broke out
on this island, to the quarantine sta
ton where the Schuman mules were

The injunction suit is discontinued
on the ground that as ''the grounds on
which an injunction was sought
against the respondents have ceased
to exist, complainant has no reason
to apply to the court for the relief
prayed for"
Shortly after the filing of the suit,
the board moved the Farm herd to a
