INVESTIGATION
OF PIER WORK IS
PROVIDED FOR
Resolution in House Calls for
Naming Committee to Look
Into Wharf Work

Dclaring that residents of lIilo have
had considerable information regard
ing the foolish expenditure OF money
on local wharyes. Representative Ber-
Inard kelekolio of Hawaii today intro
duced in the house resolution for
the appointment of committee to in
yestigate ana report on the construc-
ton of Piers 8. 8 and 10.
The resolution reads as follows:
BE il resolved that special COM
mittee consisting OF five members of
the house be appointed to investigate
and make a full report of their find
ings on the construction of piers S, >
and 10 in Honolulu harbor, and report
the same not later than 20 days from
the adoption of this resolution
The house adopted the resolution
and Speaker Holstein appointed the
committee on public lands to conduct
the investigation.
This is my own resolution and was
not suggested by anyone" says Rep
resentatiVe Kelekolio. Because of
the talk in and about Hilo as to the
expenditure of money on these piers.
II thought IL best that something
should be done in the matte:."
Kelekolio asserts that the intrOdnc-
ton of his resolution may lead to a
Thorough investigation of the conduct
OF the department of public works and
its superintendent regarding the con.
struction Of these wharyes.
Charles r. Forbes, superintendent
of public works, said he had no state
ment to make regarding the resolu.
ton.
Piers 8. and 10 are the three in

ROADS
MAY Be HURRIED

Proposing plan whereby construc-
ton work on homestead roads will
commence Immediately with the open
ing up of homestead tracts rather
than waiting as now until sufficient
money has accrued from payments on
the land to begin construction, a bill
was introduced in the senate this
afternoon by Senator NJ c. Pacheco.
Pacheco's bill would provide re-
volving fund for such road work
amounting to 100000
This fund, according to the pro-
posed bill, will be appropriated from
the general revenues of the territory,
to be Immediately deposited with, the
treasurer as continual deposit. 1t
would bear the title Homestead Road
Revolving Fund"
When any public land shall here
after have been surveyed, advertised
and sold to homesteaders under the
provisions of the Organic Act and the
land laws of the territory" says the
BILL the superintendent of public
works shall Immediately cause suit
able roads to be constructed through
out such homestead tract under con-
ditions and in the manner now pro-
yided for by law"
All moneys withdrawn from the pro
posed fund are to be paid back to 1t
through the land commissioner from
the receipts derived from the sales of
lands over which the roads have been
constructed
As a check upon expenditures from
the fund Pacheco's bill provides that
in no case shall there be drawn from
the fund sum in excess of the total
amount bid at the public sale of the
homestead lots over which the said
roads are built July of the present
year is proposed as the date on which
the act shall take effect.

To K, sitting in the back of the
church between Harriet and Anna, the
wedding was Sidney-Sidney only.
Afterward he could not remember the
wedding party at all. The service for
him was Sidney, rather awed and very
serious, beside the altar. 1t was Sid
ney who came down the aisle to the
triumphant strains of the wedding

She got up quickly, and, trailing her
long satin train across the floor, bolted
the door. Then from inside her cor
sage she brought out and held to Sid
ney letter. Special delivery. Read
It."
1t was very short; Sidney read it
at a glance:
Ask your future husband If he knows a
girl at 213 - avenue
Three months before, the Avenue
would have meant nothing to Sidney.
Now she knew. Christine, more So
phisticated, had always known.
"You see," she said. That's what
I'm up against"
Quite suddenly Sidney knew who
the girl at 213 -- Avenue was. The
paper she held in her hand was hospi-

She turned, on her way out of the
locker room, and shot quick glance
at Sidney.
II happened to be on your street the
other night" she said. "You live
across the street from Wilson's, don't

"Yes."

He had even taken another name.
1t had hit him hard, for sure.
KS name had struck an always re-
sponsive chord in Sidney. The two
girls went toward the elevator to-

gether. With very little encourage
ment, Sidney talked of X. She was
pleased at Miss Harrison's friendly
tone, glad that things were all right
between them again. At her floor she
put timid hand on the girls arm.
Il was afraid l had offended you OF
displeased you" she said. I'm sc
glad it isn't So"
Carlotta shivered under her hand.
Things were not going any too we'll
with X. Tue, he had received his
promotion at the office, and with this
present affiuence of $22 week he was
able to do several things. Mrs. Rosen-
field now washed and ironed one day a
week at the little house, 50 that Katie
might have more time to look after
Anna. He had increased also the
amount of money that he periodically
sent east.
So far, well enough. The thing that
ranked and filled him with q sense
of failure was Max Wilson'S attitude.
1t was not unfriendly; 1t was, indeed
consistently respectful, almost revers
entail. But he clearly considered LIE
Moyne's position absurd.
There was no true Comradeship be.
tween the two men; but there was he.
ginning to be constant association, and
lately a certain amount of friction
They thought differently about almost
everything. U.s.
Wilson began to bring all his prob
lens to LIE Moyne. There were long
consultations in that small upper
room. Perhaps more than one man or
woman who did not know Of KS exist
ence owed his life to him that fall.
Under KS direction, Max did mar
wells. Cases began to come in to him
from the surrounding towns. To his
own daring was added new and re-
markable technique. But LIE Moyne,
who had found resignation If not con-
tent, was once again 10 touch with the
work he loved. There were times
when, having thrashed a case out to-
gether and outlined the next days
work for Max, he would walk for hours
into the night out over the hills, fight
ing his battle. The longing was on
him to be in the thick of things again.

CHAPTER XII.

The supper at the White Springs ho-
tel had not been the last supper Car
lotta Harrison and Max Wilson had
taken together. Carlotta had selected
for her vacation small town within
easy motoring distance of the city,
and two or three times during her two
weeks off duty Wilson had gone out to
see her. He liked being with her. She
stimulated him. For once that he could
see Sidney, he saw Carletta twice.
She had kept the affair well in hand.
She was playing for high stakes. She
knew quite well the kind Of man with
whom she was dealing-that he would
pay as little as possible. Bur she
knew, too. that let him want a thing
enough, he would pay any price for it,
even marriage.
She was very skillful. The very ar
dor in her face was in her favor. Be
hind her eyes lurked cold calculation.
She would put the thing through, and
show those pulling nurses, with their
pious eyes and evening prayers, a
thing or two.
During that entire vacation he never
saw her in anything more elaborate
than the simplest of white dresses
modestly open at the throat, sleeves
rolled up to show her satiny arms.
There were no other boarders at the
little farmhouse. She sat for hours
in the summer evenings in the square
yard filed with. apple trees that Dor
dered the highway, carefully posed
over book, but with her keen eyes
always on the road She read Brown
ing, Emerson, Swinburne. Once he
found her with a book that she has
tily concealed. He insisted on seeing
it, and secured 1t. 1t was a book on
brain surgery. Confronted with 1t, she
blushed and dropped her eyes. His de-
lighted vanity found in it the most in
sidious of compliments, as she had in
tended.
Il feel such an idiot when [ am with
you" she said. II wanted to know a
little more about the things you do"
That put their relationship on q new
and advanced basis. Thereafter he
occasionally talked surgery instead of
sentiment. He found her responsive,
intelligent. His work, sealed book
to his women before, lay open to her.
Now and then their professional dis
cussions ended Ii something different.
The two lines of their interest con-
verged.
"Gad!" he said one day. 81 look
forward to these evenings. I can talk
shop with you without either shocking
or nauseating you. You are the most
intelligent woman / know-and one of
the prettiest."
The one element Carlotta had left
out Of her calculations was herself.
She had known the man. had taken the
situation at its proper value. But into
her calculating ambition had come a
new and destroying element. She who.
like K. in his little room on the Street.
had put aside love and the things
thereof, found that It would not put
