Supervisor Lucas Tells
the Board Funds Are
Running Low. 1
"I move that we cut down thepolice
appropriation to $7000," said Lucas at
last night's meeting of the Board of
Supervisors.?
The members of the board woke up
-with a start and looked at Lucas in
wonderment. ... The florid-faced Moore
turned pale.'
The motion was born of a statement
of ways and means by Lucas and an
enthusiastic plea for retrenchment. It
Jooked, said Supervisor Jack, as if the
-county was, in the near future, going
to be financially abashed. -
Moore was up on his feet in a lno
onent on behalf of the police. It was
not right, it was an insult to the dig
nity of the police department to slash
iheir appropriation. Why not be nice
-about it? Why not give the poor, in
digent sheriff a square deal? Ask him
wliat he could get along with. Let him
submit a proposition. ; Anything, every
thing, but the cold-blooded lop pro
posed by "jpanini Jack."
"Don't give 'em a .chance to figure.
iad Lucas. "Put it up to 'em straight.
No one seconded Lucas' motion and
lie had perforce to amend it along the
lines suggested by the tender-hearted
3Ioore. ' Half a. loaf's better than no
.iread, figured Lucas, but when it re
turns from the Merchant street oven
the half loafs apt to be pretty badly
scorched.
: Lucas had a field night. He resolved,
proposed, seconded, curtailed and ana
thematized with unwonted vigor. One
of his motions went through with bells
on. It was that the Kunst property at
Waikiki shall be free to bathers . pro
viding their own towels and suits. Than
this, Lucas has hardly done a stroke of
business which will benefit the poor of
the community so much, all. the time
he has ornamented the board. ,
Present were: Chairman Smith, Sup
ervisors Moore, Archer, Lucas, Paele,
Stenographer Aea, Clerks Kalauokalani
and Buffandeau, Sergeant-at-Arms Ha-
nalei. County Engineer Gere. Harry
"Murray, Capt. Sam Johnson. J. J. Bel
ser and representatives of the press.
Chairman smith was late in arriving
and it was 7:50 p. m. when Clerk Ka
lauokalani commenced to read the min
utes of the last meeting.

THE WAIALAE ROAD.
The following communication from
Road Supervisor Johnson was read and
the suggestion embodied therein, unan
imously and favorably acted upon:
Honolulu, T. of H.. July 26th, 1906.
D. K. Kalauokalani, Esq., Clerk County
of Oahu.
Sir: I respectfully beg to call the
attention of the Board to the following
facts:
The coral sub-grading of the Wai
kiki road is about completed, and this
Department will be ready in the begin
ning of August, to commence sub
grading the Waialae road. I would
like to state that, on account of heavy
traffic from the different quarries, a
top dressing of about 6 inches should
be put over the coral. The material
for such, and of very good quality, is
obtainable in the natural quarries
about 10th avenue.
As this Department has not enough
funds to work on an elaborate scale
on that road. I think it would be ad
visable if bids were called, and have
the work outside of sub-grading, such
as hauling material, spreading and roll
ing, be done by contract, with the
clause inserted that the payment for
the work performed be extended for
about 5 months. In this way, the work
can be completed in about 2 or 3
months, .
I have been over the ground with
Road Engineer Gere, and I believe he
is ready to go ahead with the specifica
tions, so as to commence work at an
early date.
Yours respectfully.
SAM JOHNSON.
Road Supervisor Honolulu.

Senator Woods was elected to the
Senate on the Democratic ticket twice
and each time he had the support of
many Republicans on the Big Island.
He looked after the interests of the
people of Hawaii regardless of politics
and his fairness in matters pertaining
to the welfare of the people of the
Island won him a host of friends.

If , Nicholas of Russia had had the firmness of purpose to stick to any

the army is characterized as a bit of opera bouffe. The Russian army in all
parts of the Empire is disloyal and mutinous, of which facts it has given ample
demonstration
The cablegram that arms are being smuggled from England into Russia by
the revolutionist's is of deep significance. The enemies of the Czar see that ther
worst is coming, and are preparing for it.

AMBASSADOR LEISHMAN
PRESENTS HIS CREDENTIALS
CONSTANTINOPLE, July 27. Ambassador Leishman has
presented his credentials to the Sultan.
John G. A. Leishman, appointed Minister from the United States to Turkey,
lately had his rank raised to that of an Ambassador, whereat a disposition was
shown by the Turks to object. An Ambassador, it seems, has the right at all
times to audience with the Sultan. A Minister must transact his business
through the Sultan's Ministers. This condition placed the United States at a
disadvantage in Constantinople, which disadvantage the Porte was apparently
not inclined to do away with. Leishman, nevertheless, has been advanced.
