"Nothing in it except mistakes
icaused by contradictory orders," says
.Supervisor Dwight, chairman of the
.road committee.
"It looks like a graft scheme, and
we aro convinced that laborers were
paid who didn't work," say members
iOf tho clean-up committee. .
Yesterday afternoon the road com
mittee of the supervisors held a meet
ing to beijin the Investigation of the
:roports or a stuffed payroll in connec
tion with the clean-up day work. Eben
.Low presided, at the request of
Dwight, chairman of the committee,
Low having been the mover In bring
ing about the investigation.
From the witnesses examined it ap
peared that some laborers had been
paid for nothing, but the committee
didn't get far enough In Its work to
make a definite report. The fact was
brought out that the entire list on the
payroll had been given the money they
claimed, though It Is stated that Low
had ordered the payroll held up until
.the Investigation was over.
"Our system was a complete one,
ajnd thero was no need of any mix
up," said Chairman Borndt of the
clean-up committee this morning. "If
tho road department had kept its word
-with us, everything would have been
all right."
Dwight Explains How It Happened.
According to Supervisor Dwight', the
-trouble was caused by a sudden
change In orders, by Road Supervisor
Wilder. "The understanding was that
road work should bo suspended on tho

clean-up day," said Dwight, "and In
structions were issued accordingly.
The road department was to supply
2."0 men to tho clean-up committee, on
Saturday morning. Wilder changed
his instructions to Crowninberg, the
luna, and directed that the laborers
be detailed at various places, instead
or having them all report at the clean
up headquarters, according to program.
The clcan-up committee was not noti
fied of this change, and was angry bo
cause tlie men didn't show up at head
quarters. "Then Individual members of the
clean-up committee began to give or
ders. The committee had a system
whereby it was to issue a ticket to
every laborer who worked. Mr. Wol
ters, as head of that department, knew
how many tickets he issued, and
seems to have thought that no more
wore issued. But others of. tho clean
up committee, Eben Low among them.
Issued tickets' on their own hook, for
men who actually worked but hadn't
reported to the olean-up committee.
"That Is how tho supervisors hap
pened to bo paying about sixty more
men then Mr. Wolters issued tickets
for. It Is not truo that a single lab
orer was given pay who did not have
a clean-up day ticket for work done.
The commlttco is simply mistaken in
thinking that only 1G8 tickets wero Is
sued. "I do not think lliat a singlo man
was paid who didn't work. It may bo
that sonio got doublo pay. We shall
find out all about It."

BALDWIN
Early this morning all hopo of tho
recovery of Mr. H. P. Baldwin was
given up, and tho sorrowful news
was vlrelesscd to Honolulu that it
wns only a question of a fow hour3.
That was at eight o'clock this moru
ing, since when no further message
has been received. Tho news was
received by Mr. Baldwin's large circle
of friends with the deepest regret,
and on all sides expressions of sym
pathy were to bo heard. Since Mr.
Baldwin's return from the Coast he
has been gradually sinking, and all
the Immediate relatives were sum
moned to his bedside In anticipation
of his passing away. His condition
was critical yesterday, giving rise to
forebodings, of the worst character,
forebodings which this morning's
news has intensified.
Better This Afternoon.
A wireless message to Alexander &
Baldwin this nftornoon late, stated
that H. P. Baldwin had rallied and
may last for several days.

COME BACK CLU
A deaf and dumb Hawaiian, who
left these shores surreptitiously by the
Alameda a little over two years ago,
qualified as a member of the "Come
Back Club" this morning by returning
on tho Sierra, again in tho same cheap
manner. It seems when he was on
the Alameda he had omitted to pay his
fare, and his memory has not Im
proved In the meantime, for he was on
the Sierra coming back as a stow
away. When it was mentioned that a
deaf and dumb stowaway had been
found, Dr. Clark immediately thought
of the other Hawaiian, who had been
found in exactly similar circumstances;
and sure enough, he was able to re
new acquaintances.
L
Acting Superintendent of Public
Instruction Gibson received a letter
this morning from tho Fisk Agency
of Berkeley, Cal., notifying him that
the agency had secured the services
of Prcscott F. Jernegan as principal
of the Hilo High School.
Mr, Jernegan Is described by tho
agency as being a rare man with an
exceptionally strong and fine person
ality, who has had a long nnd suc
cessful career as ' a teacher and
school administrator.
Mr. Jernegan has had eight years'
experience as a teacher In the Phil
ippines and this will, it is expected,
stnnd him in good stead in dealing
with educational problems on tho big
island.
The now principal comes from San
Jose, and he was seeking a principal
ship when the local opportunity of
fered itself, whereupon he Immedi
ately decided to come here.

ICalaninnaolc,
delegate to Congress, returned from
the mainland this morning, looking
well but somewhat tired nfter his
trip.
Interviewed by a Star reporter he
had several interesting things to say
0,1 n number of interesting topics.

Wouldn't Be Governor.

I am after tho governorship. Such a
thing has nover entered my mind, and

from time to time but I haven't yet
I discovered that he has any definite
policy.

Editor Star: I was much sur
prised and pained to find my name
mentioned In yesterday's Star as the
collaborator of Mr. E. E. Battclle in
his work at the Wailuku sugar mill.
J How tho story reached tho Star, I am
at a loss to say. I havo been a reader
of tho Star ever since it was first
published, and have always looked
upon It as a paper working In tho
cause of truth and Justice. It is with
this conviction that I request that the
management of tho paper kindly In
sert my statement of tho caso. I
j furthermore request that thoy glvo
my statement tho same prominenco
ins was given to tho matter in yes-
torday's paper.
Tho credit for tho discoveries that
aro said to revolutionize tho sugar In
dustry is duo solely to Mr. E. E. Bat
tollo. To claim that I havo had any
thing to do with tho matter is simply
preposterous. I know that for several
years Mr. Battello has been working
nt what ho know must finally bo a
success. 1 had frequent occasion to
admiro tho perseverance with which
ho worked. During tho season when
tho mill is In operation I frequently,
almost dally, in my evening walks,
pass nt tho mill, and havo over found
Mr. Battollo a most amiablo friend,
and many a pleasant half-hour I
spent watching him at work. But
nover, for an instant, could I claim
tho least connection with, much less

will make for the good of tho Terri
tory and my people which tho Gov
ernor hns failed to stand for. In this
way, the President shall be shown
that tho electorate aro opposed to
Frear, if, as 1 firmly believe, they aro
so opposed.
"The Governor sits in his office and
laughs when I go beforo the people,
and I have to defend his admlnistra
tion. I have mado promises and
pledges to tho peoplo and through his
administration I have to stultify my
self and my friends."
Interrogated as tofwhcthor he con
templated a change of political sides
the prince said:
Won't Be in a Frear Party.
"I am a Republican, and have al
ways been a staunch Republican, ana
would like and expect to always re
main one. I would rather withdraw
from active participation In politics,
however, than to continue to bo act
ively identified with the Republican
party If Governor Frear Is reappoint
ed. It is absurd and untrue to say
that I am going to turn Democrats,
I am subservient to the wishes of tho
people, however, and that will be my
only guide in determining on my
future political career.
"I have had to stand the brunt or
the shortcomings of the administra
tion, and foci as if I have been fool
ing the people, and tho people won't
be fooled all tho time."
His Political Status.
When told that the Home Rulers
wore said to bo circulating a petition
in favor of his appointment as gov
ernor. Kuhio stated that it was news
to him entirely, and that he had not
heretofore received an Inkling of tho
matter.
Asked as to whether ho would ac
cept the nomination of Delegate from
Fomc" other party other than the Re-'
publican party, tho prince declined to
express himself on the matter.

credit for, tho work he lias done.
Such a claim would bo an injustlco
towards ono for whom I havo tho
highest regard over slnco I became
acquainted with him. 1
Allow mo to repeat that my "part
In tho momentous achievement" Is
absolutely nil. Lot mo put lt this way.
When the Alexander Young Hotel
was being built thero wero many in
terested spectators, who watched tho
progress of tho work from day to
day. Thoy probably took their
chances occasionally to ask a llttlo
Information of those engaged in tho
work. Thoy, however, can claim llt
tlo credit for tho building of that
proudest structuro In our Island
homo. When Mr. Battollo was build
ing up tho fame of Hawaii by his por
soverlng work, I was tho looker-on; I
asked mnny questions, becauso I was
interested. But can I claim any moro
credit than did tho lookors-on at tho
Young Hotel?
Now as to tho "stack of scientific
books." I do not wiah to undorrato
the kindness of Mr. Wtollo; but lot
mo state that tho plain truth of tho
mattor Is that ho gavo mo a sot of
books, eight in numbor, as far as I
can just now recollect. As to tholr
pecuniary valuo I havo novor consid
ered that; I regarded thorn moroly
as a valued gift, from an esteemed
friend.
Yours truly,
