THINK BOARD HAS

Bourbon Supervisors Demand
Opinion as to the Date on
Which FERNS Appointees
Begin to Receive Money

An opinion from the city attorneys
department which is being looked for
ward with interest is whether the
salaries Of Mayor Ferns appointees,
if confirmed by the board OF super
visors, begin at the date of appoint.
ment or the date Of approval or the
date set by the board.
Supervisor Mcclellan raised the
question at the Friday night meet
ing and the attorneys office was
asked to bring in an opinion. The
board meets again tonight and it is
expected it will be ready then.
From opinions already rendered by
the city attorney and from men who
have studied the situation, it is the
general belief that the board alone
has the power to say when salaries
shall commence.
According to Deputy Attorney c. S.
Davis, who has spent considerable
time looking into the legal side OF the
squabble between the Republican and
Bourbon members of the board. the
mayors appointees have no legal
status until they receive the approval
Of the board.
AS it was learned today that the
Democrats are planning to take many
of these problems to court to be set

the Bourbons, abe practically the pre-

Another opinion which has been re.

penses of the big swimmer were paid
by the Olympic Club and not by the
local association. 1t is known that
Rawlins and Ross are not the best of
friends, but the big swimmer is the
biggest card that could be brought
here, and inasmuch as Honolulu has
to pay the bills for the swimmer,
there has been much talk that per.
sonalities should not interfere with
the successful staging Of a big meet
The Hui Nalus will hold their cleo
ton this evening, and it is expected
that there will be big discussion on
the subject of Ross. There appears
to be a "colored gentleman in the
fuel supply" as two swimmers who
are hardly known out Of their own
sections we're invited to compete,
while Ross was neglected, according
to a statement made this morning.
Harold Castle is considered to be the
favorite for the office of president Of
the Hui Nalus this evening, although
it is expected that w. T. Rawlins will
also seek reelection.

and from then on the ship foated
helplessly
While there was no panic which
became beyond control by the ships
officers. the danger OF the ship vas
realized bv ever one and few there
were among the passengers who did
not admit that they feared the vessel
would be sunk. Even to those who had
never been TO sea before. the useless
ness OF attempting 10 reach land IN
life boats in such a sea was appar-
eut. 1t was this realization which
kept the fear OF the passengers from
resulting in a stampede to the boats.
Even after the storm had subsidized
We knew the danger was great with
the engines out OF commission" said
one of the passengers, Were we
frightened" one queried to another
question. There was none aboard
who did not think the vessel was
going down" he added.
The waves broke with such fire.
Quency that it was impossible at times
to determine II We were not already
sinking, as the water was SO deep
upon the decks" another declared.
Reports OF the storm and the gale
through which the Makura had bat
tied were gained from passengers in
all the three classes carried on the
ship. But no information could be
gained from any member of the crew.
even the stewards, answering the
question as to what had delayed the
ship, with the remark, "Oh, we had
some bad weather"
That the reports OF the passengers
regarding the storm were not exag'
gerated was shown by the likeness
OF the stories told. All knew that
they had passed through a terrific
storm which had disabled the ships
engines and stove in the upper deck
structures, but as to minute details
they were not informed, for all were
confined to their cabins or in the sa-
looms and could see nothing OF the
storms effect except from the ports.
The officers confined themselves to
the statement that strikes had not
affected the sailing of the Makura
from Sydney, and that bad weather
had delayed the ship for three days.

OvERWOUKED GIRLS
QUIT HOTEL JOBS

Juvenile court officials, acting in
cooperation with Mrs. l. Elgin, hu.
name officer, have caused the re-
moval Of two Spanish girls, 16 and II
years old, respectively, from the en-
establishment in King street. The
youth Of the girls and the long hours
they were compelled to be on duty in
various occupations caused the inves.
tigation by the court and humane Of
ficer.
Mrs. Elgin said today that a com.
plant from reliable sources reached
her about two weeks ago to the effect
that the young girls were being over
worked. She Immediately took the
matter up with the juvenile court of.
ficials and the proprietor of the Rose
lawn, she says, was summoned into
court to relate her side Of the story.
The decision to suggest to the girls
that they leave the employ Of the
Roselawn was reached, says Mrs. FL.
gin, after the girls stories had been
heard. Their stories, she asserts, cor
roborated the information that first
came to her regarding the case. Ac-
cording to the information she OBJ
tanned, she says. the girls went on
duty at $3.50 o'clock in the morning
and did not finish their work until
sometimes as late as $3.50 o'clock at
night. Mrs. Elgin adds that the girls
left the Roselawn at the suggestion
OF herself and the Juvenile court.
Both girls now have positions else
where, and Mrs. Elgin said today that
she is keeping a motherly eye on
them.
