How Am | Doing My BIZ TO
Help America Win the War?

The following is the FIRST Of series
Of short stories telling how the rail-
roads Of America are helping in the
war. The stories were written for the
United Press by the railroaders who
are actually doing the work, track
walkers, engineers, firemen and others.

pie as a patriotic sort OF job It didn't
TO me, when the United States first
entered the war. But since then I've
seen possibilities in II that make me
believe that we trackmcn have It with
In our power to express a brand Of
patriotism that is we'll worth while.
For II Is over the rails we watch that
the troops and food and munitions and
all the other things needed by this
country and the Allies are transported,
and II Is upon our vigilance and care
that the safety Of the trains bearing
these necessities very largely depends.

ruin thousands Of dollars worth Of

work that we trackmen are doing
which may also be Of interest to the
public. We are keeping all right OF
way fences in good repair so as to re-
duce the amount OF live stock that is
killed by trains.
TO be sure, none Of these things are
new to our line Of work. But we are
trying to do them a little better now
for the sake Of Uncle Sam. It's a small
part to play in a war that involves
practically the whole world, but TO a
man like myself, who has seen fifty
years, OF service over the same stretch
OF track, the patriotic possibilities In
the job make it lose some of its mOnO-
tony. And / reckon the thousands OF
other men who walk the tracks daily
for the railroad feel the same as l do.

work Of preparing building plans for

when distinguished speakers are
available, and for school exercises Is
the opinion of the faculty. Just where
such a hall would 60 and what would
be the nature Of It's architecture Is
still a much mooted question.
Although many Ideas concerning the
general scheme Of building have been
suggested by the trustees, nothing
definite has been chosen. This will
be left largely to Goodhue, who is both
an architect and landscape gardener,
and an experienced man In this work.

edness. The statement that these
gentlemen conspired to freeze out the
small stockholders is entirely wrong.
at is also claimed In the petition
that certain individuals conspired to
defraud the Grand Hotel Company and
its creditors out Of lands on which the
hotel had an option to purchase.
The facts are as follows: The
Grand Hotel Company had an option
to purchase lands on Main street, ly-
ing on both sides Of Church street, for
$14,250. That land lying above
Church street was leased to the Maui
Dry Goods q Grocery Company at
$500 per year, and this company had
paid q years rent In advance. At the
time the hotel company applied for
loan to complete its building, the
First National Bank OF Wailuku re.
fused pointblank TO loan money on a
building which was located on leased
land, whereupon the hotel company
sought means Of purchasing the land
under their option. The Maui Dry
Goods & Grocery Company was asked
to purchase the land which they had
leased, at $4250, plus the rent already

After this deal was completed,
some Of the stockholders Of the hotel
company criticized the directors for
selling the land to the Maui Dry
Goods q Grocery Company too cheap.
This criticism resulted In the Maui
Dry Goods & Grocery Company offer
ing to return the land TO the hotel
company at the price paid, and giving
the company two weeks In which to
make financial arrangements to take
over the land. All this II q matter

and can be otherwise verified.
While II Is quite true that the
Grand Hotel company Is involved and
unable TO pay its debts, It ia far from
true mat any underhanded work or
any attempt at graft or deception has
been practised by any Of the directors
or mortgages Of the company. II is

trouble and expense in personally

Of Bishop street has reached its new
location eva Of the old site and all
that remains now Is to construct the

In Hawaii although it is common

Waikiki Businessman Reviews
Facts of Enterprise as
Known to Him; Work Hard
For Success

Affairs of the Grand Hotel at Wal
Iuku have been the cause for many
sharp words and, II is claimed, much
Misunderstanding regarding the many
complications connected with the en-
terprise.
Il is felt by a number Of those In:
terested that the account contained
In the petition In bankruptcy OF GER
tain creditors against the Grand DO
tel Co., Ltd, Of Wailuku, while per
haps in agreement with the petition
itself, falls far from stating the case,
and might by inference throw odium
on Maui citizens who are absolutely
tree from any suspicion OF conspiracy
or wrongdoing.
One or those interested makes the
general statement that the first mort
gage against this property, for $20,-
600, which was made TO c. d. Lufkin,
trustee, for H. Streubeck and the
First National Bank of Waikiki In
equal amounts; was given in absolute
" good faith, and on the positive
statement of the architect In charge
Of construction and the promoter, that
Il would sufficiently assist the COM
pany 70 complete its building, and put
IL on a sound financial basis. One
half of the funds realized from this
loan was used for the purchase Of the
property on which the hotel stands,
the company having previous to the
loan had nothing but a lease On the
land. The other $4,000 was used
solely IN the construction Of the build
ing, in paying for labor and material,
the original capital having proved IN.
sufficient to meet these demands.
"The petition states that the sec
ond mortgage was given TO secure Ger.
tain 'purported creditors, thereby
making them preferred creditors over
other creditors. As matter OF fact,
the second mortgage was given the
gentlemen mentioned In the petition
for account Of money advanced at the
time the mortgage was given, namely
$4,000, and &C more recent date.
$4,000, or q total Of $500, which was
advanced by these citizens, on the pos
five assurance that $500 Of the
amount would see the building com.
