Summoned by Neel
"Joe Hawkins will say under oath
that when summoned before Mr.. Neel
within his office the only salutation
accorded him by Mr.. Neel was, i
understand you are out after my
job to which Mr.. Hawkins replied
in substance, Your information is
erroneous; ! don't want your job; |
am an engineer, not a politician And
after further conversation of more
or less friendly import departed in
peace. Shortly before this interview
Hawkins was transferred from work
in, Neel's office TO Newman, Ga, pre-
sumably also for prudential resons,'
and finally discharged.
Can any fair-minded person fail
to discern the real sum and substance
of his wrong doing? And the way
faring man. though fool, need not
err or fail to see that Mr.. Crossland's
full denial of the charges contained
in Hawkins letter to Representative
McMichael constitutes merely The diff
ference between 'tweedledum and
tweedledee.' He did not receive any
amount as mmission-perhaps not.
But he did receive a stipulated price
from his former associates for the
interest owned in the 'Oglesby Blue
Granite Quarry while the purchase
of that property was actually under
consideration by the state highway
department.
1T may be of interest to the legis-
lature and incidentally to the people
of the state to know exactly the facts
as to how and when he came into
possession of his interest in the
0glesby Blue Granite Quarry, the
consideration paid, and what he got
for the same when sold? And also
whether the Sand and Gravel Pit
Company's' proposed enterprise fail
ed, or was abandoned, as seems more
hkely?"

TODODCE POLICE
George Turpin Takes Plunge
With Clothes On When Chief
Accosts Him

An incident occurring at the Play
ground swimming pool Saturday eve
ming about $50 o'clock Chusol con-
siderable excitement for a time
among the bathers and spectators.
During the height of the swimming
Chief of Police Bragg arrived and
asked for George B. Turpin, whom he
spied and approached almost i'm
mediately. Walking up to Mr.. Tur-
pin, he demanded to know why the
latter had failed to heed his order
to stop while speeding up Lee street
at rate of so miles an hour.
81 didn't do any such thing" re-
piled Mr.. Turpin with some heat.
''You mean to call me liar?" the
chief demanded, and at the same time
reached for Mr.. Turpin's collar.
The latter, however, was too quick
for the chief, and taking a spring
from the side of the pool, leaped into
the water, shoes, shirt, pants and all
except coat and hat which had
been lying on a bench nearby.
The gathered public stood with
mouths agape, wondering whether
Chief Bragg would follow and get
his man." The officer did not choose
to do so, however, and sauntered off
with the remark, "I'l get him when
he comes out"
1t was not explained for some tine
that the whole affair was hoax,
framed up before hand by Mr.. Tur-
pin and Chief Bragg, to furnish bit
of free entertainment at the pool.

POLLING PLACE CHANGED;
kAWAIHAU DIVIDED

Raymond C. Brown, the territor-
ial secretary, after lengthy investi-
cation has decided not to divide
the Wahiawa district as requested,
but instead will move the polling
place from the New Mill to Eieeie
Hall. The main trouble. according
to complaints, was that in bad wealth.
er the road to new mill from the
homesteads was almost impossible.
1t Is expected that this change will
relieve the condition.
The Hawaiian district was divid-
ed into two precincts, Kapaa and
Anahola. The polling place in Ka.
paa will remain at the courthouse.
while the polling place in Anahola
will be at the Anahola school.
While on Kauai Mr.. Brown certi.
fled 1875 birth certificates of Ha.
waiian born Japanese which guar.
antees their American citizenship
He did not have an opportunity to
complete this work on the island

Land Commissioner
Bailey in Favor Of
the Park Addition

At the last regular meeting OF
the Kauai Chamber Of Commerce
]. M. Lydgate proposed that an ad-
dition be made to the present Polia-
hu park. The addition would include
small tract of land along the Wal
lua river and would take in land
on which some of the famous his
toric spots, such as the birth stone,
are located.
The chamber endorsed Mr.. Lyd-
gates idea, as did the Kauai Histor-
ical Society and the Kauai county
board of supervisors. Letters to this
effect were forwarded to Governor
Harrington and to C. T. Bailey, COM
missioner of public lands.
That this proposed addition will
in all probability be allowed is in
dicated in the following letter from
Mr.. Bailey, addressed to the Cham
ber of Commerce.:
"In regard to the proposed addi-
tion to Poliahu Park, Waialua, Ka-
uai, please be informed that l have
recommended to Governor Earring
ton that the desired area be set
aside for park purposes and have re-
quested the territorial survey office
to furnish a description Of the same
for use in preparing the executive
order"

LEGION HOLDS
MEETING AT COURT HOUSE

The regular monthly meeting of
Kauai Post No. 2, American Legion,
was held in the county courthouse
last Saturday evening. In spite of
the. rival attraction in the Kauai
county fair, this was the best at
year.
At this meeting final action was
taken on the plans to remodel the
armory. The original plans called
for supporting the roof with a sim
gle truss thereby eliminating the
center row of posts. This would have
meant about 25 feet from the floor
to the ceiling and the width would
have been the same as the pres
ent outer walls. These plans were
attractive in that they required an
outlay of about only $4,000, but on
the advice of the county engineer
had to be discarded because he be-
lieved that the roof would not stand
the heavy winds sometimes felt at
Lihue.
The second set of plans calls for
roof supported by single truss
and there will be row of posts in
the building nine feet from each
wall. These posts are not objection
able because there is still ample
floor space 10 lay out an indoor
baseball diamond and basketball
court. Along the sides of the wall
will be built four or five tiers of
permanent seats, making it possible
for large audience to get an un-
restricted view of any sport in prog
ress.
These plans were submitted to 10.
cal contractors and the bids oper-
ed on Saturday morning. Coney &
Morris were awarded the contract,
the sum being $4,000.
G. A. Baggott was appointed the
chairman of the committee OF the
American Legion armory fund
During the meeting a resolution
was passed to express the thanks
of Kauai Post to R. F. Middleton,
county engineer, and John Waiamau,
assistant county engineer who drew
up the plans and specifications for
remodeling the armory without
charge to the Legion.

and palms, cut flowers and small
buttonaires for sale. A marvel of
beauty was table in the center of
the hall which held some of the
largest dahlias produced on the is
lands, a bunch of beautiful African
daisies ard Gloxina plant. They
were a beautiful ornament to this
part of the building.
The Kauai Telephone company had
a small Delco lighting plant on ex-
hibition which was marvel, and re-

a plant could be secured for 50 lit
tie money and yet containing the
possibilities of so much usefulness.
There was dancing in the even.
| ing music furnished by the Lihue
brass band with +. Fernandez as
| leader The Tennessee mirstrels also
were there and they produced a lot
of hearty laughter. There was iol.

smiles ard as they passed from
place to place, they anticipated the
best of times and therefore had
them. With this as a starter, tie

no doubt be larger and more varied
in exhibits.
