V ' ! j HAWAIIAN '.GAETte; FRIDAY; AUGUST ' 16, 1018. SEMI-WEEKLY. SUPERVISORS MAK Kallua District To Be Made Ac cessible By'Road That Will . - t Open Up Fertile District RECONSTRUCTION or ' - OTHERS IS APPROVJp Unexpected Fund of Ten Thou sand 'Dollars ' Found fn Terri torial Treasury Due To City, Appropriation for new and import ant, road improvements, amounting ,to wt than 55,000, ( war unanimously voted by the board of supervisors last sight. Although, these- appropriations were only up .for, ant reading ; last night, the general feeling bt the boar ia that they will be passed when flsal action cornea. ... ,- i , These appropriations are 817fi, for the conttcoetien of road to the 'Kni laa district, on Windward Oahu; $28, 009 for the reconstruction of the town aide of the Pall road ; 20OO for the re construction of the Tantalus Boad; and $20,000 for a eonerete road from the Inaction of the Pall aad Waimaaalo Road ii to- the' intersection of the Kal lua Boad. . i The flnt sad taoat important appro priation, ia the minda of the supervi sors, waa one for $8176' for the eon traction of a road into the fertile Kel lua diltrlot on the windward, aide of the ieland. On behalf of the fanners and reaidenta of that section of Oahu, Judge Frank Andrade addressed the board at length as. te the needs ot a road in that, district. "He said that the Jaad over there would produce ithe finest farm product to ,be found aaj where. . ' . Fanners Marooned V'Ftoa October last year to May this year, the farm era were almost marooned in. Kailua, owing to the impaaaabilitv of the road. In some instances, he said, tleev , grbwers were . obliged to ferry their produce across Kaaeohe Bay ,ln boats and then have it hauled to Hono lulu: : Tons of rice- went to waste there last year. Twelve acres' f watermelons, that he knew ef, rotted on the ground for he lak of means to get them to Honolulu. . " Supervisor Petrie heartily advocated th appropriation fop a road to Ktilua and drew the attention of the board to ttj. fact" that the leases of. Waimaaalo plantation Would expire within the next 'two years, wbich would mean the throw ing on the market ol hondiads ot teres ' of rich eaae lane, available for hotae- , steadera. '; He also sal that the finest 'enba fa the islands were in Kailua and Waimaaalo and with a good road, " that ' Section of the island eould be turned into av pleasose 'resort, .which woM. fas outrival Waiklki.j . '' Mr. Petrie did aot believe in building a temporary road to this district, ho said, and ado voce ted an appropriation of $20,000 for a concrete road to 'be biriit from the junction, of the Pali Road, and the Warmanaio ; Boad tot a point' which would connect with the Kailua Road. He Said that this work coo Id be done at a saving to the coun ty, if it was built at the aame time ' the proposed Belt Road was under construction,- as the equipment would be in the vicinity ef tbe proposed improve ment. The board unanimously voted for this appropriation. . Supervisor MeOlellan said that there was $10,173 available in the territorial treasury, which -was due the city. This money had been appropriated soma time ago as an advance to the Terri tory for the eonHtrnction of the origi nal belt road and be asked the board to appropriate $8175 of this for tbe Immediate construction of the Kailua Road and $2000 for the reconstruction of tbe Tantalus Komi. This motion met with the approval of the board. la asking for au appropriation, of $26,000 for the reconstruction of tbe Pali road, begiuning at the top and worklug toward Honolulu, Mr, Petrie said that this roaif was rapidly falling t' pieces and that action should be started ou the project as soon as pos sible. As in the case with the Kailua read, be- said that this work could be adertahea to conjunction with the construction of the belt road, thus sav ing considerable expense to the city. 'An appropriation of $700, to be ex pended for the lowering of the water mains on Alapai Struct to conform with the proposed permanent improve ment, which wlli be started on this street shortly, passed first reading Inst night. Appropriations . amounting to $A500 for new school buildings in tbe Wstaltia district paased second reading ami were oniered to print. An appro priation of film? for immediate repairs to the Kikilua roe,d passed, i Supervisor Mc.CMDap introduced a resolution, ask ing far aa appropriation cfj $10lH fur the purchase of equipment for the city lighting department, which passed first reading unanimously. A bill for new equipment of the police department -.mounting to $2620.70 was passed by the board. Oommitte To Meet Fan Supervisors Ilollinger, Tetrie aod XfcClellan were appointed a committee by Mayor Pern to meet General Pau upon his arrival here, rn route to Aus tralia.

The issue, between Captain H. Good ing Field and the Kast Hawaii draft board over the Hawaii draft mix-up has resolved itself into a question of veracity, according to the Hilo papers. That H the way it Is put by the Trib, uae, whilo.tho Post Herald, in an edi torial on the matter, leaves no doubt aa to waom it believes to have been giviiig "misleading information" to the press. Whether or not the public will ever be officially informed as to who ia to blame for the mix up that resulted in Ineligible registrants from Hawaii be ing sent to. Honolulu and then turned loose on the street, penniless and "hun gry, t shift for themselves, army de partment headquarters undoubtedly knows by this time. The Hilo Tribune says in its issue of last Saturday that dublirete copies of order received by th Boat Hawaii draft board from Cap. tain Field have been forwarded to de partment headquarters. , Captain Field has persistently denied that he ordered the East Hawaii draft board to send all Class 1 registrants to Honolulu, irrespective of deferred eleraifieation, but the draft board says be did Issue such an order, both verbal ly aad by wireless, and that it has the wireless messages to prove the truth of the asserloa. It is known positive ly that the wlreTss messages were re ceived from ' Captain Field. With eopiea of those messages now in the hands of the higher authorities at de- I partment headquarters the truth can record. . .'Captain Field aay that his instruc tatementa of the Bast Hawaii board. tion were to send only men who were tatement of the Kast Hawaii board, fttbHsaest In The Tribune, in which Chairman Smith aald his instructions were to send all Class 1 men, and that he could prove it by copies of the writ ten orders. , .."Identical instructions, the Captain insists, were sent to all draft boards, and only the East Hawaii board f sil ted carry them out. Moreover, he says, eieay Jlilo draftees arrived in Hono lulu, without Induction papers or certi ficates of physioal examinatlnn. There was nothing to show that they were the men they said they were and, in aueh eireumtauees, the army could not accept them. As It Seetm to Field " 'It seems,' be said, 'as If the Kust Hawaii board got its men together in a hurry and when they hail them there on the pier and discovered that some of them were without papers or records, just seat them along with the idea that it would be straightened out iu Hono lulu.' 'As to the clanse of the Selective Service Act which provides that aliens who have entered the United States subsequent to .luly 31, 1117, and have not applied for citizenship are not sub ject to registration, the Captain says it presents no difficulties, so far as his oflice is concerned. "When the d In use was called to his attention by the labor bureau of the Hawaiian Sugar Planters' Association it was believed draft boards had been registering Filipinos and other aliens as they srrived and were found. "Such, he says, is not Hie case. No aliens have been registered since July ii T,,,nt Oiihhb 'ho wslved their rights of exemption. If any such regis on July ,1, IKlM, their cases will be caught when their questionnaires are presented. "If they waive their rights as aliens then, tbey may be inducted into the rtrmy, if physically qualified. Otherwise, their resignations will be cancelled, ia accordance with the law." Most Eat Humble Pie The .Hilo ' Post-Herald is sorry for taptuiu rieiu it bates to seo any one Ct hum eat humble pie and it has a hunch that hfg; (ice J ,h;t nox1otlH iU(lh v. der the caption "Apolopiae, CSntaiu", th. paper .ay. editorially: "ci.t.i. . ooodine Fiew h PHt his foot in it badly.

"Cuptuin Field mev be clever but not so clever ss he might have been had thing's beeo different.

Waysnn 's resigna tion as city and county physician. Whan this matter came up for consideration, afer Doctor .Woyson 's resignation bad been read, rAlpetvisor McClellan said that there wa no necessity of the board taking immediate action and asked to refer-actio i onrti thefeqd of this month, in order to give an opportunity t6 look over the qualifications of the various applicants fur the position. He said that Doctor U ayson had served the eltjj faithfully and well fof a number of years nml that hasty ac tion upon hia resignation, was bad taste, and that he felt that Doctor Wayson could hold down the position of city physician in conjunction with his new oflice of territorial 'unitarian for the remainder of thla month nt least. With out any further discussim the bua.'d deferred action. Merger Proposed The supervisors arc considering a plan of combining the position of city physician with that of the emergency hospital surgeon. Dr. R. O. Ayor is at present holding the latter position and according to (supervisor l'ctric, be feels that Doctor Aver is well qualified to fill both posts. The salary of city physician is $230 a month and of emer gency hospital urciu, 250. The plan proposeil by Hupervisors l'etrie is to increase the salary of Doctor Aynr in the event that he accepts both posi tions, and to mojin an appropriation of the balance of the two salaries ns a monthly donation to the promotion committee. At present the promotion committee it not receiving any money from the city. When the supervisors were going over the budget for the six months Lperiod this item of expense was cut oui, owing lo tor iuck hi wnnnpuria tion facilities to bring tourists here. Supervisor Petrie said that he believed in a small monthly appropriation to the committee, provided that body would cut down its present cxjienses to meet current conditions. "Their salary list is far to high in proportion to the amount of work the promotion committee is doing," said Supervisor Petrie, "and if they will cut down expenses to meet present con ditions,' I think th board will consider an appropriations lor these purposes. " Porn Bucks Wfeyson Mayor Ferns shares the views of Spuervisor Petrie. in this regard, and is also opposed to the retaining of Doctor Woyson in the positio nof city physi cian. " Doc ton Wayson has done good and efficient work 'or the city since his incumbency," said the mayor, "but I dim 't think that he can combine the territorial position with the city posi tion and do the city justice." A petition wns received by the board "Signed by more thnn 100 persons in various walks ef life, asking for the retention in office of Doctor Wayson as city physician.

Now a diet of words is a most tin healthy diet and one that is sure to pro.luce mental indigestion of a painful nature especially with persons of a pompous temperament.

The prorecution concluded its testimony ,bjr M'on and the evidence for -the defease is to be heard this morning. Tbe defendant throagbout tbe trial yesterday morning bud the bearing of a dejected man. As his attorney, ljr i i n Andrews, tailed, time after time to cheek tlm giving of evidence through ruiings of th urt, that night .corro borate the charge that Hpillner bad attempted to create inaubor nidation . in the national guard, the defendant sunk further Into hi sent, his eyes seldom leuvlug a spot before him. , . . At the opening of the court be first evinced some Interest in the 1 proceed ings, eying each of tbe government w i musses as called, apparently calm, except for u slight indication' of ner vousness shown by the silent, methodi cal twisting of hi hat around upon hi l.neea, as he held it between hia hand. It was after Judge Horace Vaughaa had ruled that Louie Lino sbonld be permitted to testify regarding remarks made by Spillner on April 10, 1917, four days after America entered tbe war, tl.ut Mpillner ' dejection seem to become the greatest. Wou.dJ't Fight Germany Lino testified Mpillner said then he would never serve against Germany, and that if he was ever forced to do so he shoot his superior in tha back before he would shoot across at the Herman soldiers. Attorney Andrew protested botly (hat this was evidence of something which occurred before tbe Espionage Act became law, and therefore was not permissible testimony. Judge Yaug han ruled, in effect, that It might 1 be given as showing the point of view held then, which might be taken as an indication of the motive causing hint to make his subsequent alleged asser tions regarding the national guard for which he is on trial. This ruling showed the freenes front narrow legal confine which tbe court is permitted In Kspionage cases, and must have depreascd the hope of the defense, as . indicated afterwards Jjy Spillner's attitude. ' Lino was tbe last witness called by the prosecution, conducted by Jttdge J. J. flanks, the assistant district at torney.
