"But we shall suppose an uninter-

and dangerous, and can do but three

FRUIT and FHRm

The vegetables from the small pit
may be placed In the basement stor-
age room where they can be easily
secured as needed for the table.
Cabbage may be stored in special
kind of bank or pit. The excavation
is made long and narrow and about
the same depth as for the other vege-
tables. The cabbages are pulled and
placed in rows in the pit with the
heads down and roots up. The whole
is covered with dirt-no straw or lit
ter need be used. These pits are
made as long as desired, as it is posi-
BILE to remove portions of the stored
product without disturbing the re-
mainder Cabbage need not be cov-
cred as deeply as potatoes. The heads
of cabbage are sometimes stored in
banks or pits in manner similar to
potatoes, turnips, etc. This method
is open to the same objection as when
1t is used for potatoes-it is hard to
get at the material when it is needed.
Another method of storing cabbage
consists in setting the whole plant in
trenches side by side with the roots
down and as close together as they
can be placed. Dirt is thrown over
the roots and against the stalks to
the depth of several inches. A low
fence is built around the storage
place, and rails, scantling or other
supports laid across the top. About |
two feet of straw or other material is
then piled on top of the storage pit.
Celery-Celery may be stored in
modified type of outside pit or in the
row where it is grown. When stored
in pit or trench the plants are TAX
en- up and set side by side in shall
low pit as close together as it is feas-
ible to pack them and wide boards
set up along the outside of the pit.
Dirt is banked against these boards
and the top covered over with corn
fodder or similar material. When
celery is kept in the rom where it is
grown the earth is banked up around
the plants as the weather gets cold.
When freezing weather occurs the
dirt should be brought to the tops of
the plants and the ridge covered with
coarse manure, straw or fodder, held
in place by means of stakes or boards.

Ways and Means Committee
of Supervisors Reiterates
Former Belief That Office

I'VE believe that the city should

With this statement, supervisor
william Mcclellan, member OF the
ways and means committee OF the
hoard of supervisors, at a meeting
last night reiterated a former asser

thorn in the side Of the city DADS De
done away with.
Whether the office shall be abolish
ed was not discussed last night. super
visor Hollinger declined to concur IN
the opinion expressed by the Two
other members of the ways and means
committee. He said he would prepare
a minority report and present II at
future meeting. Action IN the report
of the committee was deferred unit!

ment." explained Supervisor McCiel-
Ian. 'sthe majority of the committee
has come to the conclusion that 1t
should be abolished. The committee
feels that, in principle, 1t is gooa
thing. but that, in practice, 1t is not
working out as We would like to nave
it. The question Of the man in charge
az the office is big one. We feel
that there should be no decisive &C.
tion on our report this evening, as II
may appear to many to be a rather
radical step. -. .. ~.
"If any of the members of this board
feel that they have a plan whereby
this office may be kept going, we want
to know It. But the majority OF the
committee feels that the office OF the
pnrcA- sing agent has been an unnec-
essary expense. We feel that the
county clerk can advertise for all sup
niles needed and that all departments
can purchase the things that they
need" ."-..~. Is -. III.
Superyisor Ernest A. Mott-Smith
concurred IN the statement made by
supervisor Mcclellan, asserting that
the proper step would be to get the
question before the board and thresh

that every member Of the board be
furnished with copy of the repors
of the ways and means committee,
look it over, and then reach definite
conclusion, reporting this conclusion
at future meeting Of the board.

TANGLE MUST
Come TO END

There is likely to be litigation ov -
the Laimi park and Puiwa improve
ment district unless some sort of a
settlement IS reached in the near f.
tUre.
This is the announcement made at
meeting Of the board Of supervisors
last night by Attorney 4. D. Lar
mach. representing Contractor Jack
Duggan. Attorney Larnach arose near
the close of the meeting and stated
his case. and the members of the
board said nothing.
I'm here to offer a solution to
difficult problem which involves the
city and county Mr.. Duggan and
Others" said Attorney Larnach.
Attorney Larnach suggested that
the Puiwa-Laimi tangle be referred
to some special committee of the
board, where it might be threshed out
to the satisfaction, possibly. of all
concerned. He asked that this COM
mittee meet with Mr.. Duggan and his
attorney, Engineer James T. Taylor
and his attorney, and the city and
county attorney.
Then some settlement of this
problem can probably be arrived at"
added the attorney.
Attorney Larnach concluded By say
ing that, If settlement is not reached
in the very near future. the whole
thing may result in litigation.
The board referred it to the roads
committee.

insults HURLED
At SAILORS BY
GANGOF R0NDIES

An unprovoked insult on American
seamen and the American sailors uni
form by a gang of Honolulu rowdies
excited the indignation of civilians
who were witnesses of the occur
renee at midnight last night near
the corner Of Alakea and Beretania
streets.
A number of sailors from the Carl
Schurz were passing peacefully down
Alakea street to their rooming places,
when from a distance they were
called German Spies" and other vile
names by the rowdies.
The seamen were indignant and
most of them wanted to punish their
insulters, but the counsel of some of
the cooler heads checked a return
attack. When the civilians ap,
preached, the gangsters ran away.
All the sailors were first and sec
ond class petty officers. and all were
sober. So far as could be determined
there was no cause for the insults
and disturbance except a desire of
the rowdies to start a fight. U. S.
ship discipline was all that prevented
the sailors from properly and rightly
Furnishing their insulters.
According to the sailors, they we're
verbally attacked several blocks up
the street. One sailor said there
were as many as 40 young ruffians
in the gang. The seamen were re-
luctant to call the police, for as one
expressed it:
American seamen do not need to
call copper to protect themselves.
Anyway, the Hawaiian and Portugu-
csc boys are probably full of 'dagd
red and do not know what they are
doing"

Thousands Of
Dollars Change
On Race Finish
HiIo Backed at 10 to 7 to De-
feat Healanis While MFtIes
Finish Proves Surprise
THOUSANDS of dollars are said

THOUSANDS of dollars are said
to have changed hands between
the hackers of the Myrtle, He
alani and Hilo crews as a result of
the three-crew races which was the
feature Of the regatta.
Last night there was much money
wagered by members Of the Myrtle
club that Hilo would defeat the He
alanis. The odds given were 10 to Z,
and there were plenty of takers.
The betting on the outcome of the
race between the Myrtles and the
Healanis remained at even money,
and some huge wagers were made,
it being freely stated after the race
today that two Healani hackers had
lost $1,000 each, and another $500.
Wagers Of smaller sums were also
made by nearly all the betting men,
bers of the two clubs.
F. Hilo hackers this morning were re
ported to have $4,000 which they
wanted to place on the Crescent City
crew, even offering good odds. Most
of the Honolulu money had already
been placed before the Hilo hackers
arrived, and only a small part of the
$500 was taken.
The outcome of the race somewhat
upset all advance tips and predic-
tions. Early in the week Hilo was
quoted as a faVorite, even the conf
dent Healanis giving out the word
that H1lo had "a chance to win her
race" Then, when the Myrtles be.
