Is Laid. to City Supervisor
operator Charges Jacob Wyman Suggested He Gel

Pay; Says Man Asked $500 for Job

The Transit Commissions investiga-
tion into the operation of Hylan buses
revealed yesterday that city SUPER
visor advised a bus operator, who COM
planned of poor business on one of the
Staten Island routes, to burn the bus
ana collect the insurance. The super
visor in question, witnesses testified,
not only gave this advice, but actually
produced the man who would SO edo
the trick" as to defy detection, for the
sum of 5000.
Three witnesses testified in addition
that this supervisor, one Jacob Wyman,
obtained permits for bus operators on
the Fourteenth Street and Eighth
Street lines after rsce. wing $500, for
which he was subsequently indicted in
Klngs County on charge of bribery.
From the copy of the Indictment pro-
duced by Clarence Shearn, counsel for
the commission, it appears that wy
man was permitted to plead guilty to
a minor offense and then received a
suspended sentence from County Judge
Martin.

PARiS, Oct. 23.-Preliminary ar
rangements for an expedition into the
heart of the great Sahara desert, the
first ever attempted by white men, have
been made here, and the project l.
arousing keen interest in scientific
circles. Swift tractor automobiles
armed with machine guns to repel hos.
tile tribes known to abound in the in
terror, will replace the slow moving
camel heretofore employed in efforts
to explore the great unconquered
waste Of sand.
Andre Citroen, who is called "the
Henry Ford of France" has proposed
q type of Ecar designed to negotiate the
heavy sands, climb the plateaus and
act as movable fortress in case OF
attack. Already one expedition has
started across the desert to establish
a starting station with reserve sup.
plies of gasoline, water, food and eauip-
ment. This station will be established
on the edge of a region that is less
known, than either of the poles, and
one perhaps more replete with hazards
as we'll as possible rewards.
Autos of ''Tank' Type
The principle of the automobiles is
similar to that Of the famous "tanks'
used in the war-an endless belt tread
that will not sink so readily in the
sand as wheels. The speed attained by
the cars will be great. Even in ordi.
nary heavy going it is expected to make
twenty miles an hour.
The main expedition will start abou,
December L and will follow the course
of the preliminary one, which left the
Algerian railroad terminus at Touug.
CART and started toward Insalah, an
oasis 600 miles distant. This oasis is
the extreme outpost ever reached by q
white man, and vast store of supplies
will be placed there. Beyond it to the
south is q stretch Of unconquered ter.
ritory supposed to be of extremely
irregular formation, including noun.
tains, plateaus and immense valleys
filled with shifting sand.
Another preliminary expedition will
start from Timbuctoo and move toward
Tinzaouten, a distance of 700 miles
Between the stations to be established
by these two expeditions there will be
a gap Of 800 miles of desert never trod
by civilized man. This tract is known
as the "Great Land of Mystery" Not
before supplies are reported from the
designated stations will the main party
start on it's long tour. This will be

Howell Awarded
Flume Contract
Maui Engineer Wins Award
With $24,600 Bid; Road
Work Action Postponed
Pending Local Meeting

Hugh Howell, of Maui, was award
ed contract by the Hawaiian Homes
commission yesterday to build a red
wood irrigation fiume with a capacity
of 100000 gallons daily for the new
homestead tract on Molokai now be
ing developed according to the Homo
lulu Advertiser. His bid of $24 800 in
40 working days was low .N~Other bids
were H. Y. Chuck $25,750, 60 days,
and Henry de Fries, S25,3SO, 80 days.
The commission is now getting to
point where it must watch its bal
ance. A statement from the auditor
yesterday showed cash available and
unobligated of $2S,11S, including,
under obligations, the Howell con-
tract. Income last year was Sl70,-
600. The regular quarterly financial
statement will not be ready until
some time next month.
Plans Submitted
Jorgen Jorgensen, engineer to the
commission, submitted plans and
specifications for a waterbound mac
adam road 5000 feet long, the sub
base to be Telford laid and six inches
thick, with six inches of crushed
rock above it, rolled to a final thick
ness of four inches, and a top dress
ing of screenings three inches thick,
rolled to two inches.
Commissioner Rudolph Duncan esti.
mated that by the time contractor
had provide dhimSelf with a truck,
had provided himself with a truck,
watering cart, he would have laid out
$4,000 in plant Accordingly it was
decided to defer action until the SUI
pervisors of Maui county had been ap-
preached, to see if they would not be
willing to lend the necessary equip
ment to the commission, inasmuch
as the road probably would be turned
over to the county government for
use and maintenance ultimately.
Salary Increased
Thornton Lyman, superintendent of
the settlement, was authorized TO EN-
ploy an assistant at a salary of not
more than $3.50 a month. In consid
Grafton of the fact that T. w. Taylor
assistant engineer to the commission
will henceforth house and feed him
self and family-he has been living
in temporary quarters furnished by
the commission-his salary was in
creased to 5000 a month.
A letter from Lyman under date
of September 81 was read, stating that
an unusually fine crop of pigeon peas
is coming up.
"A gang of men started harvesting
our Kalae corn crop, the other day,
wrote Lyman. From present indica
tions, we shall get a remarkably good
crop. There is large amount of first
class seed available from this field.
"The pigeon peas are surprisingly
good for that elevation. l do not be
lieve | have ever seen finer plants
They are coming into bloom now and
should produce a heavy crop of very
fine seed"

Divorce In Close of
Sensational Case
ASSOCIATED PRESS

CARMEL, N. Y, Sept. 29.-Bring-

tional suits in the history of divorce
jurisprudence, Referee Daniel j..
Gleason, sitting in the action brought
by James Stillman, millionaire New
York banker, against his beautiful
wife, today denied him a divorce.
At the same time Baby Guy Still
man was declared the legitimate son
of the banker and was restored to his
rights as heir with his two brothers
and one sister to whom s6,000,000
trust fund was left by their grand
father, the late James Stillman.
During the early stages of the case,
charges and counter charges were
hurled by the plaintiff and cross-com-
plainant, Mrs. Stillman charging her
husband with misconduct and naming
Florence II. Leeds, former show girl
and the mother of two children. This
phase of the action followed Still
mans charge that Baby Guy was the
son of an Indian guide with whom his
wife was acquainted.

Hawaiian A.A.U.
Indicates New Era
Growing Interest In Athletics
Noticeable By Increasing
Number OF Registered
Athletes

Nation wide interest in amateur
athletics is extending to Hawaii and
the Territory is benefltting. equally,
with continental United States, from
the keen interest of the public at
large and the splendid cooperation of
the business community and tile ma
tional press, according to the annual
report of the secretary of the Ha-
waiian a. A. t., to that body. A
greatly increasing number of regis
tered athletes is becoming more and
more noticeable throughout the terri
tory
Great Strides
Outstanding of the features of the
past year that will benefit the Ha-
waiian Association is the opening in
Honolulu of the Elizabeth Water
house Memorial swimming tank
Through the cooperation of the
trustees Of Oahu College the tank is
available to the association for in
door swimming meets. A great
stimulus has been given amateur
athletics by the decision of the board
of education to include swimming in
the public school corriculum. AS yet
this has been done only in Honolulu

Island Competition
Inter-Island tournaments have been
numerous in the past year and have
surpassed any previous efforts in in
ter-sectional athletics. Maui teams in
baseball and basketball and teams
representing Hawaii and Kauai have
played inter-island championship
series in Honolulu. Rowing, tennis
and golf, also, have had intersectional
tournaments. This year it is planned
to send an All-Hawaii basketball team
to the mainland and at least one Maui
player will make the trip, it is expect.
ed.
Maui Is Strong
This island has greater number
of registered athletes, per capita
than even Honolulu can boast. During
the present year three sanctioned
meets have been held under the aus
pices of the Maui Athletic Club and
many prominent visiting athletes have
been entertained. Taking into con-
sideration the relative importance of
athletics in the islands, the facilities
of the Maui Athletic Club will COM
pare equally well with other A. A. U.
organizations in the territory.
Kauai remains the missing link.
Not until that island joins hands with
the association will the inter-isIand
chain be complete.
Sound Finances
Financially the association is in a
healthy condition and has held all
sanctioned meets during this year
without need of soliciting financial aid
or trophies for winners of the meets.
Total assets of the Hawaiian Asso-
citation are $5,100.55. With such
credit balance it should be possible
for the association to carry on the in
ter-island competition.
