SOCIAL WORKERS ARE TOLD
TO GIVE ACTUAL RELIEF
Social workers who investigate"
pitiful cases of restitution and con-
fine their efforts toward relief to fl
ing reports without lifting a finger
to aid the unfortunates were criti-
cized severly by Judge Stelk in the
court Of domestic relations yester-
day. "
A woman representative of Fthe
Elizabeth Mccormick Memorial
fund, 315 Plymouth Ct, told Of what
she had discovered at the home of
Frank Brashko, 1887 N. Halsted. The
father could not get work. The
mother was in a tUbercular institU-
ton and the four children were all
tubercular. "The family is starving"
said the worker, something ought
to be done.p
What have you .done?" inquired
Judge Stelk.
why nothing" replied the social
worker.
cit would be better" said the
judge, eff you social workers paid
more attention to relief of suffering
and less to writing out report cards
and securing court testimony. The
organizations which employ you
could spend more money on relief of
urgent cases by cutting out some Of
the red tape"
Sherman P. Kingsley, director of
the Mccormick fund, said later that
the Mccormick fund was not a char
liable institution.
"Then it's worker who stood by for
weeks observing the Brashko family
starving should have appealed to
organization that would have given
aid" said Stelk in answer to Kings
ley.

buildings, took the stand and testified
to Neuman's good character.
Pressed for an explanation by Ro-
sinia, they admitted they knew moth
ing of his conduct except during his
working hours at Rothschild's. They
could offer no evidence as to his
moral character.
The defense again put forth the
claim that Sadie Wisebaum was
really 10 years old instead of II, as
she claims. Records of the Bren-
tano school, which she attended,
were offered in evidence They show
the girl entered school in the autumn
Of 1904 and that her mother said at
that time she was born in 1897.
Mrs. Rose Wisebaum, mother of
the girl, has admitted this. In ex-
PLANTATION, she says that Sadie was
unusually large for her age then and
that if she had given her real age
she would not have been allowed to
enter school.
At the end of the prosecutions
case Atty Barrett made a motion to
discharge the defendant His argu-
ment seemed to be based on the idea
that Sadie was 10 years old and
therefore old enough to know what
she was doing when she went out
with Neuman. Judge Stelk denied
his motion. He announced that he
would return his decision Jan. 20.

WITH
new IDEAS FOR
CITY PLANNING

Brim full of new ideas concerning
city planning but with the information
that all planning organizations on the
mainland are now dropping that work
to take up war relief preparations
Mrs. F. J. Lowrey, member of the
Honolulu City Planning Commission,
has returned from the mainland, where
she has been for several months.
Every woman's club in the state IS
now actively engaged in war work, y
Mrs. Lowrey said this morning, and
there is movement started to organ
ize all the clubs into one big national
organization for the more systematic
handling of the work. England found
at the beginning Of the war that many
small groups working Independently,
although toward the same end, pre-
vented the maximum of efficiencyand
the people in the United States are
alive to this fact.
Mrs. Lowrey reports that enthusi
asm is now running high everywhere
and that the west is waking up to the
gravity of the situation. Every place
visited | found that the planning
commission had given up that work
and turned to war relief Of course
have many new ideas for the benefit
OF Honolulu, but the commission may
want to do as those on the mainland
and concentrate on the problems of
the war"

Two DISTRICTS
LOSE CONTESTS

At two precincts in the fifth district
this morning the Republican party
went down to defeat.
In the ninth precinct Henry James.
chairman of the inspectors is away
and for the primary election E. J.
McCandless, Democrat, was chosen by
the governor as chairman. This morn
ing Inspector Henry Kapela, Republi.
can, tried to get the Craftsmanship by
declaring that McCandless was ap-
pointed only for the primary but the
county clerk refused to uphold his
claim.
The trouble at the Fourteenth pre-
cinct was an overabundance Of in
spectors. Daniel McGregor, Republi-
can, was asked to resign as inspector
last week because h is a territorial
official, being inspector for the board
Of health, and John Baker was a2-
pointed in his place, with the result
that all inspectors now are Democrats
This morning McGregor attempted to
take up the duties of an inspector. A
heated argument arose which lasted
until the arrival of the county clerk
who decided against McGregor.

TWO RUNS ARE MADE
BY FIRE DEPARTMENT

The fire department had one run
last night and another this morning.
Last night the Central crew was call
ed to the Bailey furniture factory at
Alapai and KiRau streets. The Ho-
nolulu Music Company makes ukule-
les there and Chief Thurston believes
the blaze was due to spontaneous
combustion in the shaVings.
Passersby saw the flames and threw
water on the fire before turning in
the alarm and the blaze was nearly
out when the firemen arrived. There
was no damage.
This morning a call came in about
4 80 from the Pacific fertilizer works
on North King street. Workmen dig
ging in the street in some way rang
the alarm unknowingly when their
tools struck wires leading to the box,
according to Chief Thurston's story
of mysterious false alarm.

NTER-|SLAND SHUTS OFF BUNKER
COAL OWING TO LACK OF BOTTOMS
Company Will Hold Tight For
Its Own Vessels Pending
Future Outlook

The Inter-Island is and has for six
weeks been refusing to supply bunker
coal to certain steamers, and is refus-
ing to book any more for bunkers
until such a time as it can make sure
whether it will be able to get more
coal. 1t has warned vessels to divert
their routes and not call here for
bunkers until further notice.
Unless the situation improves the
company will not sell ton of coal to
boats calling here, and will hold its
present supply for the use Of its own
steamers and islanu plantations.
1t is not the lack Of coal, but the
lack of bottoms in which to bring it
to Honolulu, that has created the pres
ent shortage IN the company's coal
department The average coal freight
rate last year at this time was SO
ton; now it is $40 and no vessels can
be secured even at this figure.
These are a few facts given out to-
day by President James A. Kennedy of
the Inter-Island, following bis testi-
mony last night before the public util-
tiles commission, at the continuance
of the commissions general investiga-
ton of the steamship company. An
was taken to Friday even
ing by the commission.
For the last six weeks we have
been warning owners Of certain steam
ers that we could not book them for
bunkers any longer said Kennedy
this morning We have had to send
cables to London telling them that We
cannot get bottoms to bring coal to
Honolulu, and consequently will have
to refuse to book them ahead until
such a time as we can see whether we
can get more COAL"
Kennedy says the vessels booked be
fore the present shortage will be here
within q month and that no new
bunker bookings are being taken
whatever

Good weather early in the morning,
even If a bit showery, and a lively in
terest by the, people in the general
election, with hot fighting in spots, Is
bringing to the polls at the close Of
the city campaign today a large vote.
Predictions were made early this
morning that at least Is and probably
80 to IS per cent of the city registra-
ton would be cast. AS the day pro-
crossed it was expected that the ad-
vance predictions would be upheld.
As usual in Honolulu elections in
late years, the day was quiet around
the polls. There was virtually no dis
order, and only a few cases Of drunk
enness we're reported.
From the start, the fight for sheriff
was the feature of the day, with Rose
calling on the police department to
get out and use every possible bit of
influence to reflect him. 1t was re-
ported that in the country precincts
the deputy shertffs were also Working
