Civil Service Head Said to Be
"in Bad" as Result of
. Sewer-Fraud Charges.
FRICTION IS RECALLED
Mayor Declines to Comment on Re
port That Official Will Be Re
moved After Council Hear
ing Is Completed.
Removal of George "W. Caldwell as
chairman of the Municipal Civil Service
Board is one of the possible outcomes
of the Montavilla trunk sewer fraud
investigation, to be held by the City
Council next Tuesday, according to
whisperings going the rounds at the
City. Hall. Mr. Caldwell is "in bad"
with Mayor Albee and other -members
of the Council, it is whispered,- because
of his alleged interference in matters
not under the jurisdiction of the Civil
Service Board.
Mayor Albee refused to confirm or
deny the rumor yesterday. It is known,
however, that there have not been the
most friendly relations in the world
between the Mayor and Mr. Caldwell
for some time past. Also, it is said,
Mr. Caldwell and Commissioner Daly
are not the best friends. They have
had a number of open breaks which
have been aired through the news
papers. Council Remark, (luotrd.
Mr. Daly"s latest display of feeling
In the matter was in the Council meet
ing Wednesday, when Mr. Dieck de
clared that he had not been given an
opportunity by Mr. Caldwell to present
his side of the sewer fraud rase. Mr.
Daly at that time remarked that it
probably was not intended that Mr.
Dieck should have been given such a
chance.
And then. Mr. Dieck has had a num
ber of encounters with Mr. Caldwell,
so open as to cause comment among
other members of the Civil Service
Board. Mr. Caldwell and Mr. Dieck
had been appointed a committee to try
to straighten out differences between
themselves. John Logan, a member
of the Board, suggested that it might
ne better to submit the proposition to
Tho Hague rather than to let the two
try to settle their troubles.
AKnminK Duty Charged.
In the sewer investigation members
of the Council declare that Mr. Cald
well went out of his jurisdiction, as
suming functions that belong to the
Council. Also it is complained that
the manner of conducting the investi
gation was not fair. City Attorney
LaRoche branded It as "shameless."
Mr. Caldwell, on the other hand, de
clares that the investigation was within
his jurisdiction in proving the good
faith of Commissioner Dieck in the re
cent dismissal of Harry Gurr, a sewer
inspector. He declares that opportunity
was given Mr. Djeck to present his side
of the case, and further opportunity
will be given Monday night, -when con
tinued hearing of the case is planned
by Mr. Caldwell.
It was said at the City Hall that the
removal of Mr. Caldwell under present
conditions -would be untimely, but it
also was said it would be the subject
of serious consideration when the sewer
fraud hearing is over.

BEXXIE DOG.
B1
ENNIE DOG was a little fellow,
He dearly loved fun, and that
was about all Bennie thought about,
excepting to eat.
Bennie's mother, Mrs. Dog, tried very
hard to have Bennie Dog behave like
a grown-up doggie, and not chase all
the kittens he saw or run after every
man that passed the house, barking
and jumping about like a silly puppy.
Bennie Dog's grandfather lived in the
next house to Bennie, and Grandfather
Dog. having once been young himself,
remembered the tricks he used to play
on his good mother, and sometimes he
caught Bennie Dog right in one of his
tricks.
One morning Bennie's mother said:
"I want you to pull the weeds that are
growing around the beans. Put on
your big straw hat so the sun will not
fall on your head, and don't be all the
morning doing it, because I want you
to do an errand."
Bennie looked cross and began to
whine. "It is too hot in the garden.
I'll get sick. I know I will. Let me
wait until tomorrow, mother,; please
do."
"No," said his mother, "it will be
hot tomorrow, too. and you will beg
off again. You get right at that work
quick or I shall take the stick behind
the clock and see what that can do for
you."
Bennie ran for his hat. for the stick
behind the clock made his legs tingle,
but 'all the time tie was thinking how
he could escape pulling weeds.
Bennie worked for about five min
utes pulling weeds, and then a wicked
thought came to him. "Wicked thoughts
always come the quickest, you. know.
"I'll make her think I am sick."
thought Bennie Dog. "I'll just howl
and lay down and mother will think
I have had a sunstroke."
So naughty Bennie Dog howled so
loudly that his mother dropped the pan
she was washing and ran into the gar
den. Of course she found Bennie on the
ground and. was terribly frightened.
She picked him up and carried him
into the house and bathed his head
with cold water.
"Do you feel better, dear?" asked his
good mother.
Bennie said he did a little, but not
much. "I think I could sit in a chair
on the porch," said wicked Bennie
Dog.
"You better lie in the hammock under
the cool trees," said his mother, "and I,
will put a piece of mosquito netting
over you so the flies won't bother you."
Bennie went very slowly to the ham
mock, although he felt like running,
and his mother fixed him all comfy.
Now, It happened that Grandfather
Dog saw Bennie Dog in the garden,
and when he lay down on the ground
Grandfather Dog saw that he did not
fall.
"I wonder what that young dog is
up to now," he thought. "I guess I
will watch a minute and see."
After Bennie Dog's mother went into
the house and Bennie had almost fallen
t4ntq g, doze. Grandfather Dog crept
obooooooocooooooocoooooooosoeoooooo
CHARMING YOUXG MATRON.
HONOLULU, TO
Into the yard, and when he was quite
near to Bennie Dog he called out:
"There he goes, such a fine rabbit."
and started off on the run.
Up jumped Bennie Dog and out of
the hammock he went like a shot after
his grandfather, calling: "Where is he?
"Where is he?"
His grandfather ran until he was
tired, and then he turned around and
met Bennie Dog.
"You young rascal." he said, taking
Bennie Dog by the ear. "what do you
mean by fooling your good mother
that way? You are no more sick than
I am. Now, you go home and finish
weeding that garden or L will tell her
the trick you played, you sly fellow."
Bennie looked very foolish, but he
did not reply, for he knew his grand
father somehow had discovered, bis
trick.
"I feel better, mother, and I guess I
will finish that weeding before dinner,"
said Bennie Dog,; going into the house
in front of his grandfather.
"Oh! I am afraid you are not well
by this time." said his mother, anx
iously. "Oh, yes he is!" said Grandfather
Dog. A young fellow like him gets!
well quickly. Let him go to work."

How to Increase Vitality
The coarse, dark parts of g-rains, so
food scientists declare, contain the
elements that build bone and muscle,
blood, brain, and increase vitality.
Therefore it naturally follows that a
coarse, dark cereal like Dr. Jackson's
Roman Meal is the food par excellence
to increase vitality and put new life
and vim into the system. Does not
"heat the blood" and is therefore a
good Summer food.
Positively do not stir Roman Meal
porridge while it is cooking. Set in
a second basin or double boiler and
keep your spoon out of it.
Your grocer also has Roman Meal
bread, baked by the Log Cabin Baking
Company, five teats & loaf. Try jt.

LAX METHODS ADMITTED
I A.
TAYLOR SAYS UK AD WIFE
KEPT BOOKS.
Let Him iet It Out of His System,
Rules Court "When Prosecutor
Object to Answers.
F. A. Taylor, on trial before Circuit
Judge Morrow on a charge of embezzle
ment of funds of the F. A. Taylor
Company, admitted on the stand. yes
terday that the accounts of the com
pany were kept in a haphazard fashion,
both himself and his wife having ac
cess to the books.
From March "to October in 1915 Mr.
Taylor never examined the accounts
with an aim to secure a balance, ho
said, and the store account and his
personal account were hopelessly en
tangled. "I always figured the store owed me
money," said Mr. Taylor. So he in
discriminately put to his own account
money paid in for the firm. That he
admitted, but explained that he often
paid out of his own account large sums
for store expenses.
Mr. Taylor rambled off several times
into issues foreign to questions asked
by Deputy District Attorney Collier,
who objected to the court.
"Iet the witness get it out of his
system. I know it has nothing to do
with the question asked," ruled Judge
Morrow.
Mr. Taylor admitted telling backers
of the company that if he was sent
to the penitentiary there would be no
chance for them to get any of their
money back, as he could not pay it
back. He denied that he had offered
to pay $15 a month back if he was not
prosecuted.
