ELECTIVE HEADS
OF Departments
MAY BE PROVIDED
Oahu Delegation is Reported to
Have Decided Against Short
Ballot Amendment

That The Oahu delegation OF the
house has practically agreed TO Kill
the amendment proposed by the Cham
her OF Commerce providing that mem
beers Of the board OF supervisors SHAH
have the power to appoint all heads
of city departments. became known
today following a meeting yesterday
afternoon Of the delegation.
The delegation has carefully con
sidered this particular amendment and
thus far Il has not been accepted,
while some other amendments have.
II is further reported that practically
the entire Republican delegation in
the legislature has agreed that the
people shall retain the right to elect
all city officers.
Taking up the charter yesterday sec
tion by section, the Oahu delegation
got as far as the section relating 70
sheriffs and their duties. Here VIII
undoubtedly arise another question.
that OF giving the mayor the power TO
appoint a chief OF police, with the ap-
proyal Of the supervisors, thus taking
the control of the police department
from the hands of the sheriff, making
that officer merely civil employe.
Another question upon which there
viii be debate is that relating TO the
election OF the supervisors. The
amendment proposed by the chamber
provides that three shall be, elected
from the fourth and three from the
fifth district Thus far no vote has
been taken on this amendment, and
no vote win be taken until the entire
Oahu delegation can get together No
member is .bucking the amendment,
however.
A few of the amendments proposed
by the chamber already have been ac-
cepted in lieu Of sections in the pres
ent charter bill. One OF these is the
amendment regarding the recall. In.
stead of the customary petitions. this
amendment provides that a person
favoring a recall shall make sworn
statement to that effect before the
county clerk.
The next meeting Of the delegation
will be on Monday or Tuesday. A re-
port on the charter bill is expected
either Wednesday or Thursday morn
ing.

Sailed as Gold Ship
The Kronprinzessen Cecilie was
bound from New York for Plymouth
and Cherbourg when her commander
was warned that war had been de-
clared. He turned back and found
refuge at Bar Harbor, Me- On board
the steamship was gold shipped by the
Guaranty Trust Company and the Ma

bankers in London and Paris. and
these bankers libeled the vessel, claim
ing damages of $2,300,000 because OF
the failure to deliver the consignment.
In November, 1914, United States
marshal took possession Of the steam
ship, which was brought to Boston,
where she has since been tied up.
When Count Bernstorff was given
his passports the libellants sought pro-
lection of the vessel from damage by
the crew, with the result that Marshal
Mitchell took physical possession OF
the ship, putting the German captain
and crew ashore. 1t was then found
that the machinery had been tempered
with, making IL impossible to navigate
the vessel until many and extensive re-
pairs had been made.
The libellants sought damages in the
United States District Court, where
they were refused. They appealed and
the United States Circuit Court of Ap-
peals overruled the lower court and
sent the case back for a hearing on a
petition for the sale of the ship. which
was heard today
The court today did not intimate
whether any action for contempt
would be taken against Capt. Polack
or Chief Engineer Bierans. who was
instructed with the work of rendering
the machinery of the liner imperative.

JACK EDwARDsoN: The captain of the

doesn't prove that the cook isn't entitled to
the damages he is asking for beating he
got from the mate.
HARRISON TELLER of Colorado: We
have seen your aquarium and I do not see
why more people do not rave about IT, You
have certainly the greatest collection of eolors
there of any place in the world.
--PHILIAS POIRIER: We are just as
glad out here at the Moana that the Maui
did not come as soon as she was expected,
for we could not have accommodated every
one with the crowd we have now.

scaled down the city engineers re-

practically a half million. He rec
commended, incidentally, that II pos

given an increase in salary in pref
erence to men in any other depart
ment. Mr.. Hirschberg presented to
the board the plan he suggested
some time ago for the salaries OF all
employees under the control Of the

of the board, and that the board be

by new man, who, under the pres

Board for the years work
Is s2,3l3,00o. Mr.. Hirschberg asked
that appropriations be made for an
N-ray apparatus to be in stalled In the
Virginia Hospital, to cost $4,000. and
also requested an appropriation of
$500 to install a patti ology department
there. He stated sSsat some legisla-
ton was becoming absolutely necessary
free OF cost In the city hospital when
these persons could AFFORD to pay for
medical attention. He gave Instances
Of persons being treated In the Vir-
gtnia Hospital at the city's expenses
and at the same time drawing money
from certain health and accident in

should be remedied and the proper or
dinances prepared requiring such per-
sons to pay portion OF the expense Of
treatment in such cases as they were
able to do so. This matter, the COM
mittee thought. could be arranged and
will soon be taken up.
Mr.. Hirschberg stated that $4,000

to repair the City Home to point
where II can be used. and that $4,000
Will construct an entirely new build
