lished in 1900, and he has been at it
steadily ever since.
''Nan of Music Mountain" which we
have been fortunate in securing for
our next serial, is a love and adven-

tale of the high desert lands, and both
heroes and villains are real men
strong, reckless, brave. There's not a

can guarantee that you will like it.

VOLCANO ROAD
SURVEY BEGUN

Survey work on the first section OF
the new Volcano road has been started,
according to A. C. Wheeler, engineer
of Hawaii county, who arrived this
morning on the Mauna Kea for short
stay in the city.
This first section will include the
road line between Four Miles and Olaa
a length of about five miles. Mr..
Wheeler estimates that this piece of
road will use up some less than the
100000 appropriated by t1e leg1sla-
ture, of which 100000 is how avail
able. -... .:-"@ H.. e
The road is to follow an entirely
rev line, will be Is feet wide, and Of
concrete. 1t will have TO be cut through
old lava and forest country. Work
has also. started on the elght-mile
Kona Kau road, for which $50, 1000 was
appropriated. ~ .~... Il
The recent stormy weather has been
a help to the contractor on the Walo-
lama reclamation project, says Mr..
Wheeler, for it has driven in sand that
was much needed in filling. This sand
is taken from the ocean and had grown
scarce in the vicinity owing to quiet
weather of the last several months.

NETROPO LITAN
IMPORTS LITTLE

'In the ten months of this year
the Metropolitan Meat Market has
sold at least 2400 carcasses of beef.
and OF that amount not more than 70
have been imported" is the state
ment made today by Antoine Louis,
proprietor of the Metropolitan; in dis
cussing story which appeared in the
morning paper.
I'VE would prefer to handle abso-
lutely no imported frozen meats, and
do so only in event of temporary
shortage in the island beef supply.
AS long as We can get the home
grown meat we avoid the imported
article.
Il understand the Hawaii Meat
company has imported meat from
the coast two or three times this year
TO meet a threatened shortage in the
local supply. The Metropolitan
Meat Market took only a part OF the
total shipment, however.
Il know that my establishment has
not sold more than the 70 carcasses
mentioned in the last 10 months,
which is not more than per cent
OF the total amount of beef | have
sold TO the Honolulu consumers in
that period"

Honolulu Again
Detects German
Agent In Disguise
Pole Deported From u. S. at In
stance of Local Naval 0ffl-
Gals Who Tagged Him Here

investigations carried on by the To-
cal naval intelligence office Whleh
were begun last July when Bogunll
Balzerkevitch, who claimed to be a
Pole, passed through Honolulu aboard
the Persia Maru, bound for the states,
caused his deportation from America.
The Star-Bulletin yesterday pupllsn-
ed the story to the effect that Bal
zerkevitch, bound for the Orient,
arrived here yesterday aboard Jap
anese liner, locked in his cabin, ana
under guard, because the captain OF
the ship refused to take any chances
of his prisoner escaping while the
boat touched here. -".... #.":~
The local naval intelligence office
stated today that when the Pole pass
ed through Honolulu on July 70 OF
this year, he was placed on the sus.
pected list, and investigated. he
was allowed to proceed to San Fran
cisco, however, but subsequent inVes'
LEGATIONS caused his detention at An
gel island on instructions from Homo
lulu.
Balzdrkevitch claimed he was a
Pole, but Investigations proved tina:
he was a German. He was allowed
to proceed to San Francisco, but
while he was en- route from this port
the local authorities were inVestigat.
ing his record. They learned that he
had been educated in Berlin, and at
the outbreak of the war he was
clerk in a powder mandatory in
Russia. He was later interned, but
liberated by the cars proclamation
freeing the Poles. He posed as
Pole and thus gained his liberty.
Further Investigation disclosed the
fact that he travelled through Russia
posing as a member Of the Russian
Polish refugee committee. In 1916
he came east over the trans-Siberian
railway to Shanghai. He worked UP
and down the Amur river, in North
Manchuria. He left China aboard the
Persia Maru and attempted to get in
to North America without passports.
When he arrived in Honolulu he was
questioned by the local officers,
whose later instructions detained
him at Angel island. Because of sus-
picion, and the fact that he was not
a Pole, the authorities ordered his
deportation from America.
