A Select Committee of the
House is Investigating.
Hunting Out Contract and Building:
Data In the Public Works De
partmentMr. Rowel!.
A House select committee of which
Mr. Loebenstein of Hilo is the chair
man, is "after the scalp" of W. E.
Rowell, Superintendent of Public
Works for the whole group. The first
thing the committee did was to call
for a list of all the contracts let and all
the tenders for work and material re
ceived by the Public Works Depart
ment during the past two years. It
is the purpose of the committee to
make to the House an elaborate report
on the administration of the depart
ment for the period just ended. Num
erous charges of all varieties are made
against Mr. Rowell and his assistants.
There run the gamut from the wrong
"pitch" to the roof of a galvanized
iron shanty to appropriation of private
lands, for roads, without so much as
"by your leave." Many witnesses have
been called by the committee to testify
regarding work performed under the
direction of material. It was said by
a committee member yesterday that
Mr. Kleugel, engineer in chief for the
Oahu Railway Company, had been an
"unwilling witness" on the Beretania
street bridge construction. Contrac
tors have been called to tell about
the building of the new Central Fire
Station and other buildings. There
has been a vast amount of inquiry as
to the operations of the Government
dredger, the pile driver, rock crushing
machinery and road rollers. The com
mittee will report on Hilo wharf work
and road building on Oahu, Hawaii,
Maui and Kauai. It is known that it
is now the intention to severely criti
cise Mr. Rowell in many particulars.
This select committee was given such
authority by the House that it was
able to delegate an agent to make in
quiry on Hawaii, and that agent is
now away from the capital and at
work on his assignment. He is a mem
ber of the House. A member of the
committee was asked yesterday if the
Superintendent of Public Works would
be permitted to appear in his own be
half or defense. The reply was that
Mr. Rowell might be called in and
questioned after all the testimony on
contracts, buildings, roads and mate
rials had been taken.
Mr. Rowell was asked if he had
been given any intimation of what was
going on. He said that some commit
tee had called upon his office for
enough data to keep a couple of clerks
busy day and night for a week and
that he had furnished everything for
which there had been a request. It
was his earnest desire, he said, that
if an investigation was in progress it
be thorough and careful. He believed
that he could show an economical ad
ministration by himself and his chief
subordinates and that there had been
fair dealing and honest work along
intelligent lines all around.
The report in question will be made
in a few days and will be lengthy.
I?aseball at 3:30.
The Regiment and Honolulu baseball
clubs will meet at the League grounds
in Makiki this afternoon for the first of
series of match games, unless in some
manner another association team is
provided. The two nines mentioned
have agreed to begin anew today. This
change is occasioned by the withdrawal
from the 1S9S League of the Unions.
The Unions were in a company too fast
and rather than act as a dampener on
the sport quit entirely. The Unions had
lost two games and when the Hono-
lulus and Regiments mat last Saturday
for the first time this season the Regi
ments won. They may be able to do
this again today and they may not.
Hart and WTilder will be the battery
for the Regiments today and Lemon
and Dayton for the Honolulus. Men in
the other positions will be the same as
last week.
Noticeable in Honolulu.
Tf there is any one thing that is com
mented upon by tourists to our shores,
it is the absence of awnings from the
windows and over the veranda steps.In
the States the exterior decorations are
considered as essential to comfort as
the house, and there is no question
that they go a long ways towards re
gulating the temperature of a room,
and subduing the strong glaring light
experienced during the long summer
season. In a tropical climate they are
an actual necessity, to say nothing of
the comfort they afford.
Ookalu Doing Well.
An expert on sugar cultivation well
known in the Islands who has recently
returned from Hawaii, stated in the
course of conversation the other even
ing that he saw no finer cane on that
Island that was growing at Ookala.
When asked if he could account for
this, his reply was that he considered
the result was due in his opinon, to
the very judicious use of fertilizers and
good cultivation of the estate.
There will be exciting contests and
interesting record trials at Cyclomere
this evening.
Mrs. C. C. Bailey, of Maninvil!,
Canada, writes: "After several years
of continual suffering. I was persuad
ed to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and
have reason to bless the day I began
their use. Prior to beginning the use
of Pink Pills I had been under doctor's
care, and had tried oL'ner remedies,
but with no effect beyond occasional
temporary relief. I suffered from ex
treme headaches, dizziness, loss of ap
petite and palpitation of the heart. I
got so weak that frequently I could
scarcely move about, and my whole
nervous system appeared to be in a
state of complete prostration. When
I began the use of'Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills, I doubted very much if any me
dicine would restore my health, but
I determined to give them a trial. Aft
er I had taken several boxes, I noticed
that I could sleep better, and that my
nervous troubles were growing less.
My illness had been going on for about
four years, so that I did not anticipate
that it would be easily eradicated, es
pecially as doctors' treatment had fail
ed, but after I had taken a dozen
boxes, I was again in the full enjoy
ment of health. I think people using
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills should pay
strict attention to the directions, and
not always expect a cure from one or
two boxes. Had I been so unreason
able I would not today be enjoying
the good health I have, and I hope
this message may benefit same poor
discouraged sufferer."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills create new
blood, build up the nerves, and thus
drive disease from the system. In
ihundreds of cases they have cured
after all other medicines had failed,
thus establishing the claim that they
are a marvel among the triumphs of
modern medical science.
