HOBBY ACCEPTS
SALARY OF $500

w. Il. Hobby, acting superintendent
of public works, has accepted the $500
salary assignment offered him some
days ago by Maj Charles R. Forbes by
letter, and upon accepting has been
paid $500. This represents the three
months of July, August and September
for which Mr.. Hobby had previously
not received a cent.
Auditor Manley Hopkins said today
that the payment was made following
a conference between himself. Attor-
ney General |. NJ. Stainback and Mr..
Hobby. The general sense OF that
gatherinT was that there might be a
long delay if Hobby waited longer
and that the $500 month was better
than nothing. This argument evidently
appealed to Hobby after the three
months interim.
Auditor Hopkins voiced the belief
today that the matter may yet go to
court before it is definitely settled.
The question of whether or not Major
Forbes is still superintendent of pub
lie works has never been settled, he
said. The major first offered to let
his successor have $3.50 a month out
of the $500 salary. Then he agreed
to 5000. The remaining money has not
some to Forbes and there seems little
likelihood of its doing so soon.

MAuPS SKIPPER
APTSOOE TOBE
CALLED BY i. S.

Reporting a remarkably fine voyage
the Matson liner Maui locked early
this morning with 49, flrst-class ana
p steerage passengers.
Though the Maui is now under the
federal shipping board, her trip down
from San Francisco was TO all out
ward signs just as under private op-
grafton. That vessel and officers may
yet be taken actively into the Atlantlc
trade was forecast, however, by the
fact that Capt. Peter Johnson, the
veteran Matson skipper. has been told
to hold himself in readiness for call
from Uncle Sam.
The big liner brings 1882 tons OF
general cargo. Though the holds are
so full and there are so many autos
that some of them occupied deck
space during part of the trip, all or
the autos were shipped by passengers.
None came in for dealers or on oroer
from island purchasers.
The Maui did not encounter an hour
of rough weather from the Golden
Gate to Diamond Head. Every day
was calm and sunny and the tourists
were infinitely delighted at the pleas
antness Of the voyage. The smooth
seas made possible a large variety o.
deck sports and on four evenings
there were dances on deck, culminat
ing in a special dance last evening
after the traditional captains dinner
During the evening prize dances were
held.
Several honeymoon couples are OF
the Maui's passenger list, which Il
about equally divided between islan(
folk and visitors, the majority o
whom are tourists OF the visitors
coming on business, several are IL
mercantile lines and come to lool
over the local field.
The Maui made such good time II
! the smooth seas that last night Capt
Johnson had enough margin so that n
could slow up, and in order to let TIT
fresh trade winds sweep through tn
dining-room, be had the big steame
swung in a great half circle during
| the dinner hour.
| Nearly $50 was subscribed by tn
