As an example of uncooked politics the meeting leads the long list of unsavory political deals that have contributed so much to cast a sinister reflection on the politics of this section. Although ostensibly called for the pur- pose of conducting an election of of fcers, the meeting was scarcely under way before it was apparent that the phrase for such other business as may legally come before it." as recited from the call by the clerk, was the pri- mary object instead. This was plainly disclosed at the first effort made to- ward the election of new officers, as all attempts in this direction were promptly squelched by methods which fairly rocked with odorous factional- ism.

UTILITIES BOARD
PLANS new WORK

In the appointment yesterday Of H.
Gooding Field as its permanent audi
tor. the public utilities commission
has begun a movement toward reVo-
lutionizing the conduct of its bust
ness.
According to Chairman w. T. Car
den periodical audits Of the various
utility corporations will be made, and
this work will be in Fields hands.
His salary will be $3.50 a month, be-
ginning August 1.
1T will prove cheaper, more con-
venient and more expeditions for the
commission to have a permanent au-
ditor instead of hiring one at a tenn
porary and higher salary each time
an audit is made" says Garden.
One of the first steps WIN be the
issuance of a uniform system of &C.
counts in order to secure standard
ization Of accounting methods forl
utility corporations. A start has al
ready been made in this direction in
the establishing Of such a system for
telephone companies"

PLANTATION COP
Up TO SHERIFF

F. X Bull, manager Of the Oahu

Sheriff Charles Rose this morning re-
garding Hutton's complaint that Aug
ust Spillner, plantation policeman at
Waipahu, had tipped off the Japanese
woman proprietor of blind phi" TO
an impending raid. SpillneT is also
booked for a talk with the sheriff this
afternoon.
1t is stated that Manager Bull ex
pressed his Willingness this morning
to cooperate with the police officials,
even to the extent of personal aid. in
Kidding Waipahu of lawbreakers. The
conference brought out the statement,
IT is reported, that Spillner may have
warned the Japanese woman, as al
legged, in a moment of overZealousnesa
to maintain peace in the plantation
camp, which is held to be his chief
duty by the plantation manager.
The explanation is made that when
he saw a strange Korean in the com

cense inspector-he did speak to
the Japanese woman, but did so be-
cause of fear that trouble might be
started in the camp by the two men.
Due to his age and the long time
he has been in the employ of the
plantation, it is thought that Spillner
will be allowed to hold his position
as plantation policeman.
