asked for an assistant stenographer,

on motion of Mcclellan. Mcclellan
and Petrie also fought the conffrma-
ton of salary for the messenger, a
new job, but were oyerridden by the
board, which confirmed all salaries
with the exception of that for assist
ant stenographer.
Brown also asked for a few salary
raises. This matter was referred to
the ways and means committee.
Judge Harry Irwin of the district
court submitted his list of appoint
ments, already published in the Star
Bulletin The appointment of Frank
Benevides as Portuguese interpreter
and assistant clerk was objected to
by the Democratic minority as a con-
travention of law and the matter was
referred to the police committee for a
report.

REPUBLICANS rule BOARD; dem.
twain PROTEST BUT MAKE NO SPLIT
G. O. P. Keeps Firm Hold on Committees - Mcclellan and
Petrie Do Not Carry Fight Into Routine Business, and ST.
perVisors Get Down to Work

In several cases Petrie voted with
the majority, it is believed. in order
that he could later ask for a recon
sideration on any matter, il it seems
desirable.
Petrie's Request Granted
Hollinger introduced the rules for
the board. Petrie stated that
neither Mcclellan nor he had seen
them, and his request for a delay OH
their passage was granted, except as
to the section appointing the stand
ing committees, and this was passed
to facilitate the transaction Of bust
ness.
1t did not pass, however, without
opposition on the part of the two Dem
ocrats as by it the appointing power
is taken away from the mayor and
given to the board Action taken re-
suited in the number of committees
being reduced from seven to five with
neither Of the Bourbons given a chair
manship.
Speaking against this move Petrie
said:
Il don't like to be continually, kick
ing but can't see why these changes
should be made. / may be wrong but
the minority has certainly not been
considered and as ] have said before
1t has political significance. McClel-
Ian and are not looking for any
here to work, but it is playing politics
to reduce the committees. Mayor
Fern. has been elected for the fourth
time and therefore must hold the con-
fidence of the people, but ever since
his election members of this and the
former board have passed rules de-
signed to lessen his power and l claim
it is against the wishes of the peo-
pie"
Hollinger replied that the majority
had not attempted to take any power
away from the mayor given him by
law, but that it is the prerogative of
the board to make its own rules and
1t intended to do so. THE commit
tees were reduced for efficiency"
said Hollinger, "but If the minority
can name two more appropriate CON-
mittees we might consider it."
Petrie came back with the remark
that the move may not be against
the law but 1t is against precedent
which he said sometimes is stronger
than law.
Hollinger then named the standing
committees which were approved.
Mcclellan, saying he wished to
make 1t plain he was voting not
against any committee member per-
sonally but against the tactics of the
majority, voted no. Petrie voted yes.
III not stand out on this" he said
The meeting adjourned until Fri
day night.

MAKING II PLAIN

The Pure Food and Drug LAWS aim
to protect the public by preventing
misstatements on the labels Of prepa-
rations but some people continue to
accept "extracts" of cod Eoe1s think
ing they viii get the benefits OF an
emulsion of cod liver oil.
The difference Is very great. An
Gemulsion'' contains reale. I Hue1 oil,
which has had the hearty endorse
ment of the medical profession for
many years, while an "extract" is a
product which contains no oil and Is
highly alcoholic.
SCOTS Emulsion guarantees the high
est grade of real Norwegian cod liner OF,
skilfully blended with giycerine and
hypophosphites. SCOTS 10 free from the
false stimulation of alcohol and 10 en-
dorsed by good physicians everywhere.

PRUNNNGKNIFE
USED ON MAYORS
FUND AND AUTO
New Board, However, Sane
tons Increase of $1785
in City Salaries

An increase of $17S5 in salaries and
for the maintenance and upkeep OF
the various city departments, was the
first step taken by the new board OF
supervisors to fix the appropriation
bill for the first three months Of its
term. At the meeting Tuesday night
the bill passed on first reading but
as there are several changes TO be
made, it was not ordered to print.
The total of the appropriation bill
as passed is $272,50611, of which
$199,9OO comes out OF the general
fund and the balance is to be drawn
against the permanent improvement
fund, special road taxes and the water
and sewer departments.
The salary increases total $4,000,
while the decreases are $1015. There
is also a further decrease Of $500
for election expenses which was
placed in the previous bill but as it is
in the nature OF special appropria-
ton and only occurs every two years
it can hardly be considered in the
salary increases.
The departments which received in
creases are the attorneys office, SIZE,
including higher salaries for the two
deputies and the addition of a mes
senger; city and county physician
SIS, donation to the Hawaii promotion
committee, $3.50; emergency hospital
physician, $3.50; supplies for the emer,
gency hospital, S.; incidentals of the
Jail, Sis; maintenance and upkeep
of Kapiolani park, $50; Fairgrounds
instructor salary, $3.50; purchasing
agent incidentals, $50; treasury de.
partment, $3.50, and truant- officers
(fixed by legislature), $765.
Decreases occurred in the salaries
of district court employees, $3.50; may
ors entertainment fund, 500; mayors
automobile, upkeep, $125; maintenance
and upkeep of police force 1870 and
the support Of prisoners, $500.

Realizing the fact that the Repub-
licans held the whip hand and their
part in the running of the municipal
machinery was to be a more or less
perfunctory role at the beginning, the
Democratic minority of two of the
board of supervisors became recon
ciled to their fate and indicated at
last nights meeting Of the supervisors
that, as their opposition would Of ne
cessfty prove futile they would fall in
line with the majority's program and
do their bit" in speeding up admin
istrative affairs.
But the Democratic pair, Messrs.
Mcclellan and Petrie, did not surren-
der without voicing a protest at not
being allowed to have a voice in the
disposition Of weighty matters.
Mayor J. J. Fern was not yet strong
enough to attend, so Charles Arnold
took the chair while Ben Hollinger
was the floor speaker for the ma
jority.
Brooks No interference
From the very first the majority
made It plain In both actions and
words that it intended to run the
affairs of the, city and would brook
no interference of a political nature.
Arnold crystalized this when he
said:
"The mayor has seen fit to make
certain nominations for positions al
ready provided for by ordinances. We
believe, therefore, that It is time to
inform him and the minority that the
majority proposes to retain all the
prerogatives vested in the board"
This stand, however, was tempered
as much as possible by the willing
ness Of the majority to agree to any
proposal Of the minority when 1t did
not tend to shear them Of their power,
and the Bourbens; seeing that the
cards were against them, gracefully
submitted and did everything to speed
the work.

Charles Arnold suggested that the
members Of the board take under cen.
sideration the proposition of appoint.
ing an engineer to inspect the con-
struction Of roads in subdivisions. He
said at present there is no way by
which the city can check up as to
whether the roads are properly laid
and as the city and county will have
to maintain them after they are down
1t is very necessary to have an over
seer.

During the early part Of the war
the belligerent nations agreed upon
the request Of the Pope to. send the

10000 Germans, 10000 French and
5000 English soldiers there now. They
win remain there until the war is
over.
1T is very touching to watch the
men come into that country. Many
Of them must stay there for long
time and some have had their families
sent to them. They have probably
left home forever. There you see
men without eyes, without legs, with

there to live. The work that the
Swiss are doing for them is wonder.

MITCHELL EXPLAINS HIS
 CHARGE AGAINST SENATOR
OBSTRUCTIVE TACTICS IN OP- POSING COMPLICATIONS IN DIRECTLY ASSISTED
 GERMANY

Albany N Y. April 3.--When Ma yor John Purroy Mitchell of New York stated recently that the opposition of State Senator Robert r Wagner to the pa sage of the Rockaway Poir Qualifications measure indicated that the senator was working more in the interest of Germany than in the inter est of the United States, he did not tend to charge the legislator with con scious and intentional disloyalty to this country. This declaration was made by the mayor late today while under cross-eXamination before the senate on charges of having made false and malicious report concerning Senator Wagner in his legislative capacity
 Friends of Senator Wagner inter. preted Mayor Mitchel's explanation as vindication of the senator's pa triotism Mr Wagner. it was ex- plained, resented especially any inn plication that he was not a loyal American citizen, although he was born in Prussia His friends indi- cated that the mayors statement that he did not mean 10 accuse the sen ator of deliberate disloyalty had re- moved from Mr. Mitchel's comment on the senator's legislative conduct the principal cause for grievance
 The mayor said he stood by his as sertion that Senator Wagner's hos tility 10 the Rockaway legislation had delayed the fortifications construc ton work from early in February m- til the present time that the United States government did not profit thereby but that the German govern meut. with which the United States virtually is at war, and the Rockaway Pacific Corporation, owners of the land in controversy were the only beneficiaries of Mir. Wagner's obstruc- tive tactics
 Today's proceedings were ad- journed until tomorrow upon receipt of word that the mother of Lieuten- ant Governor Schoeneck. the presid. ing officer. was seriously ill at Syra cuse

ing strain. New quarters must be found to house the new civil elements Buildings near the state, war and navy structure are being looked over for this purpose.
 Only one big move in preparation for war remains to be made in the navy department. That is mobiliza. tion of the naval militia and the var- ous classes of the naval reserve. The former will go to the reserve ships of the line, filling out skeleton crews and making the ships ready for action. From the latter will come the men for the coast patrol and submarine chaser services as well as additional men for line ships
 Probably l5.000 men could be add ed to the navy personnel at once by this mobilization lt has been cstimat- ed that double that number would be required for full patrol of the Atlantic coast by motor boat It seems prob able that unless sufficient volunteers respond promptly the universal sery- ice system may be invoked to fin up the nayy's ranks
 Bids were opened at the war de. partment today for lG-inch rifles to 20 in the coast defenses. The Bethlehem Steel Company was the only bidder. offering two or four guns complete at S225,000 each. or without breach mechanism at $215.000 each.
 In connection with the army plans it was pointed out today that under the present national defense act the national guard can be brought to its full war strength by draft. The force has an authorized total strength of 440,00o and ifs present strength is about l60000 Orders 10 muster out men with dependent families and those in the government service or at work on government contracts may reduce this number considerably. 1t is not known whether the war department contemplates any change in the present status of the guard. These troops would not be available for service in Europe under existing 1 law and the full number may be re- quired for police work at home If the guard is to he recruited 10 full strength. it is assumed that provision will be made 10 prevent a conflict be- tween that service and the new ma tional army 10 be raised Probably recruits for the guard would be sought among men excluded from the new service by age limitation The new army undoubtedly will be formed of young men
 The authorized strength of the reg u1ars is about 300000 men of all branches. That service, unless change is made in the law, would be filled up with volunteers.
 Committees of the chambers of com merce of the United States named Co cooperate with the defense council met today to work out with the war department the problem of supplies Chairmen of fifteen committees dis tributed throughout the United States military department were present.
 The council authorized today a gen. eral medical board to cooperate with Dr Franklin Martin, chairman of its medical committee in co.ordinating civilian and military medical forces
