Although the kona storm of last
Sunday and Monday brought excep-
tionally heavy rains to many parts of
Maui, very little damage is reported
from any quarter, while in some Sec
tions the moisture has been decidedly
beneficial. On Oahu, however, the
most terrific downpour in the history
of the city occurred last Monday and
Tuesday and the damage wrought
will run into hundreds of thousands of
dollars, it is claimed. A total of 1886
inches of rain fell on Monday after
noon and night. The city was lake,
number of houses were washed from
foundations, the Pail road was washed
out, the Oahu Railroad put out Of coin
mission, storm sewers burst, and ha-
voc generally over the island.
On Hawaii also reports of heavy
damage have been received from both
wind and rain. The storm was of
course particularly severe along the
kona coast.

Maui Bills To Go In
Loan Fund Bill
No Danger Of Appropriations Being
Left In Hands OF Public Works To
Spend, Says Walsh-Other Maui
Interests In Legislature

"None of the appropriation bills for
Maui will go through in their present
FORM" declared Representative Jack
Walsh, who spent the week end at
home, returning to the capital last
Monday night. He was referring to
the objection raised last week by the
Maui Chamber of Commerce to the
wording of all these bills which would
place the expenditure of all loan fund
money in the hands of the superin-
tendent of public works, cutting out
the loan fund commission entirely
and taking away control whatever of
the work for which Maui's money is
eventually to pay.
"Most of these bills should have
been introduced in form of resolu-
tions," Mr.. Walsh stated, (Which
would require the finance committee
to insert them as items in the loan
fund bill which will be introduced to
carry all such measures for the seve'
raj islands. There isn't any danger
whatever of any of the bills objected
to going through in their present
FORM"
No Baggage On Running Boards
If a bill just introduced this week
in the legislature carriers, it be unlaw
full for any automobile in the rent
service to carry trunks or other bag
age on the running boar1- A fine oi
from $5 to $3.50 is sp,s 81 as the
penalty.
Ask Money For Settlement
Representative Paschoal introduced
a resolution providing that the follow
ing amounts be appropriated for the
Molokai settlement;
Artificial limbs, $4,000; new cot
tages, $4,000; electrical equipment
$4,000; motor truck, $4,000; fire pro
lection, $4,000; total of 100000.

That Delegate Charles A.

Donoho }
 Mir. and Mrs. Donohoe arrived in Juneau yesterday on the Northwest ern and are at the Gastineau Hotel They expected to go on through to Valdez, but friends induced them t1 remain over in Juneau and they wtll spend the remainder of the week here.
 All Behind SuIzer
 You can quote me positively as saying that Delegate Sulzer will re- tain his seat in Congress-" said MT Donohoe q do not think there is a shadow of a doubt about it. It is known that the administration, in cluding the President, members of his Cabinet and the leaders in Con- gross, and the Democratic National and Congressional committees desire that he remain in Congress, and tn } issues as they are being made up i'll the contest are all favorable to him.
 Continuing, Mir Donohoe said tha, "the Cabinet members, the leaders in Congress and the National Commit tee are more disposed than ever to stand by the organization recom- mendations in the appointment of those to serve in office and in a leg islative program. MT. Sulzer is re- ceiving excellent assistance from them all in his plans for Alaska leg islation.
 Alexander Bill Will Not Be Pressed
 "In line with this disposition is the circumstance that at the request of MT Sulzer and myself the fisheries bureau promised not to press the Alexander fisheries bill for passage in Congress. MT. Sulzer assured the bureau that he will prepare bill for introduction in Congress at the be- ginning of the regular session that will meet with the approval of the people of Alaska, and he believed that it would be acceptable to the fisheries bureau"
