KINDERGARTENS
MAY GAIN LITTLE

If, as has been said, the finance
committee Of the house reports a new
bill on financial aid for the Free Kin
dergartens and which will require that
such aid come from the city and
county it seems probable that kinder
gartens and Fairgrounds will not fare
so well as had been hoped, for mem.
bers of the board of supervisors do not
see how that body can appropriate
more literally In the future than it has
in the past
Dan Logan is one Of the board who
is outspoken in the passing of the
matter of aid to kindergartens over
to the city and county. "It is one
thing for the legislature to say that
the aid should come from the city and
county and quite another matter for US
to give that aid" says Logan. I'VE
are already doing all we can afford
from the funds which we have on hand
and are able to secure. If the legis.
lature will provide us with more funds
we shall be glad to use them and to
Honolulu star-bulletin., 1917-03-12

give the kindergartens more aid. But
will the legislature provide us with
the additional funds that we require?
Will it render it possible for us to
secure the money to give to that OBJ
ject? We already need funds for many
things and have to do without them.
Let the legislature give us sufficient
money to run city and county affairs
rather than tell us how to spend the
money which comes into our hands.
l am afraid that unless provision be
made so that we have additional funds
to use for such purpose we shall
be able to do little or nothing more
than we are already doing, worthy as
may be the object"
Horner Has Similar Ideas
Supervisor Horner is also opposed
to the legislature giving the care of
the kindergartens to the county un-
less a sum adequate to carry on the
work accompanies the authority.
1T is all very well for the territory
to give the county additional depart
ments and We would be glad to ac-
cept the responsibility but when there
is not enough money to run the gov.
eminent now, what can the board do?"
Supervisor Larsen is of the same
mind The people howl about US
wasting the public money. Unless we
get more money soon We shall have
to spread it out so thin that 1t will
break through in even more places
than it does now

CIVIL SERVICE MEETS
LATE THIS AFTERNOON

Late this afternoon the civil service
commission will hold meeting to dis
1cuss several matters pertaining to
police authority. The regular meet.
ing was to have been held last Satur-
day but as one of its members could
not be present it was postponed until
today. The members will meet some
time between 4 and o'clock.
Noa W. Aluli, chairman, said that
nothing of Importance is scheduled to
come before them. His own recent
unpleasantness with the police will
be discussed but further than that no
particular action is expected to be
taken.

CITY PLANNERS
SCORE BOARD

The action OF the board of super.
visors in permitting firms to cart away
sand from Kapiolani Park and dump
ing waste in its place came in for
severe criticism from the city planning
commission at its meeting this morn
ing.
Walter F. Dillingham; in particular
was against the practise, declaring
that the park is being ruined as a re-
suit. IF they really returned soil, as
under the agreement, nobody would
object" he said, "but when bricks,
stones and waste matter on which abb
solutely nothing can grow is substi-
tuted it should be stopped"
The proposed bill giving the com
mission more power which is to be in
troduced into the legislature was dis
cussed. 1t was pointed out that the
commission can do nothing as it can
only suggest improvements which to
date have never been followed
The question of the ironwool trees
at Kapiolani Park also was touched
upon.
Dillingham; said the more he looked
into the matter the more he believed
the trees should come down although
before anything was done an expert
landscape artist should survey the
grounds in regard to park entrance.
George Collins. city and county en-
gineer, suggested that ivy be planted
ON the retaining wall at the pali and
the commission voted to take the mat
ter up with the Outdoor Circle.

such an order the alleged statement
made to the police when the request
for arrest was made that the three
men were armed"
There was such q crowd about the
men when arrived at the pier" says
the deputy. that / did not see whether
they were in irons or not. I made q
full investigation and when / felt sure
that I did not have the proper author
ity to hold them I ordered them dis
missed
Capt. Kamahu stolidly refused to
offer any excuse for putting on the
irons when approached by Star-Bul-
letin reporter this morning, answer
ing to every question, :" You will get
full information from the deputy" He
would absolutely say nothing about
the affair.
When the three Russians had been
released the accredited Russian rep
resentative on the boat told Aseh that
he believed the two protesting to be
government officials should be arrest
ed, but this Asch declined to do.
DR.. Marques says he had had no Of
ficial information regarding the al
legged theft of the millions Of rubles or
any other phase of the affair.
Sees Handouts Removed
That two Russians, who had been
handcuffed together earlier in the aft
ernoon, were freed from their
shackies by a Hawaiian plain-clothes
officer just before the Korea Maru
steamed for San Francisco, was stated
today by an eyewitness of the affair,
a citizen whose name is withheld at
his own request.
About nine minutes after Co. said
this witness, "Asch came down to the
pier and told the Hawaiian policeman
to unlock the handouts. The Rus
slams were handcuffed together then
and were standing about 10 feet from
the gangplank.
The officer unlocked the hand
cuffs, the Russians went aboard the
liner again, and she sailed one minute
later, at 10 minutes. after 6. I did not
see the handouts put on the men, as
presume this was done earlier in the
afternoon. but ] did see them taken
off on Asch's order to the plain
clothes man."
No Report to franklin
Z Collector of Customs Malcolm A.
Franklin said no report on the arrest
had been made to him and that no
Instructions to forward a report had
been received by him from the main
land.
Customs inspectors who saw the
release of the Russians would not talk
except to say that the alleged embez-
zlers' baggage had been taken off the
ship and set down on the wharf When
the men were freed from their hand
cuffs the luggage was hastily put back
on the steamer
U. S. immigration Inspector Richard
L. Halsey. in charge of this port, said
this morning he had no statement to
make and said he knew nothing off
cially about the affair, as the inmi-
grafton authorities were not concern
