Disposition OF
FAIR Building
STILL IN THE AIR

Hawaii's exposition building at San
Francisco seems to be a white ele,
plant, so far as the disposition Of it
is concerned Secretary Z. P. Iaukea
has just received a letter from the Ex,
position Preservation league, to which
it was hoped to present the building.
saying that the matter Is being held
up until the ownership of the land
under the building can be settled.
NO definite disposition of the Ha-
waiian building OF the exposition has
yet been agreed to or arranged for,
says the letter, for the reason that
we have not yet found a way to pur
chase the land underlying the build
irgs, which land was leased during
the exposition"
This lease has now expired, but 1t is
hoped to purchase the land from its
present owners.
The recent legislature passed an act
giving to the secretary Of the terri
tory the right to give away the build.
ing, and it was supposed that the gift
would soon be effected This letter.
however, indicates that the matter
may be held up for a considerable
time yet

: PLANTATION COP
Hutton Will Prefer Charges
Against German Who, He
Says, Warned Blind Pig

License Inspector Hutton declares
he will lodge verbal complaint today
with Sheriff Charles Rose against
August Spillner, luna and plantation
policeman for the Oahu Sugar Co.,
charging that the plantation man
tipped off the Japanese woman pro-
prietor Of a Waipahu blind pig" that
he intended to raid her place. Later
written charges will be preferred.
This afternoon circumstances OF the
alleged action of the plantation officer
will be personally communicated to
Edward K. Bull, manager of the Oahu
plantation.
Spillner, according to the statement
Inspector Hutton will make to the
sheriff. was informed of Hutton's pres
ence in Waipahu on Saturday after
noon by a son. Then, reports the H.
cense inspector, Spillner Immediately
notified the Japanese woman of his
presence and intentions. She received
warning in time and was able to hide
her stock of liquor so when the raid
was made it proved fruitless, it is
said. One of Spillner's sons, Charles
A. Spilfner, is the regular police Of
ficer at Waipahu.

FROM
|. SUGAR PROCESS?

That substitute for glycerine
rather than glycerine itself has been
evolved from q sugar process by the
internal revenue staff Of the United
States government Is the belief OF
Robert s. Norris, technologist Of the
Hawaiian Sugar Planters experiment
station. 8. 8. Peck, secretary and
treasurer of the Hawaiian Chemists
association, Is Of the same opinion
because, he says, glycerine can only
be obtained from sugar in very small
amounts.
A despatch to the Star-Bulletin on
Saturday announced that a new proc
ess for the manufacture of glycerine
from sugar, under secret methods, had
been discovered. DR.. Norris declared
that It was true glycerine was an
alcohol and contains the same chem.
ical properties except under different
arrangement. Mr.. Peck said that he
knew that small quantities Of glycer.
Inc could be obtained from sugar
when 1t was fermented to alcohol, but
that he did not believe enough could
be obtained through this method to
warrant its use.

PLANSFORBIG
PAVING PROJECT
Traffic Counters to Gather Data
on Vehicles as Basis for De-
Gliding Pavement Needed

Steps preparatory to the paving OF
the business district Of Honolulu, as
proposed under the Improvement
which will cost close to 100000 have
been taken by George Collins, city
and county engineer.
A surveying party will begin with
in a few days and one Of the plans
which Collins has % promote the eff

tablishment of traffic census at all
of the principal crossings. BY eSti-
mating the amount of traffic which
passes over a certain street he eX-

ment which will be necessary and
thus give to the people Of Honolulu
the best at the least cost.
Whether it will be carried out I'm
der the frontage or area plan is an.
other question which will have to be
decided but at present he favors the
latter. He will start the work with
that idea in mind but may find, after
the preliminary survey, that the plan
is impracticable
1T is a tremendous undertaking, -
said Collins today. and will require
a large amount Of careful thought
and preparatory work before the fina'
plans and specifications are ready,
"Of course the best method would
be by the area plan but, as we pro-
coed, obstacles may come up which
will make the frontage plan the bet

The presence Of R. w. Single, OF

found her way over to the MaxwelFs
Before she started to tell them the re-
