THE ELEVATOR BILL.
1t Incftes Senators to an Acrimol
ions Debate

1t Incftes Senators to an Acrimon-
iOus Debate.
Senator Hompe was found arrayed
against House File 401. one of the Gov.
Nelson trio, provi ding for public ele-
vators OH the right-of-way of the rail
roads. He defined the difference be-
tween the measure under consideration
and the bill he had introduced two
years ago. He said the farmers of the
state ask that the state keep their hands
off, and he argued that the Mcguire bill
has passed with little opposition be-
cause another bill was to follow it that
would practically repeal the former law.
The Mcguire bill provides for elevators
on lands contiguous to railroads. and
the present bill takes railway rights of
way, and places the control in the
hands of the railway commission.
Senator Probstfeld said the bill COM
pelS the owner of the elevator to keep
it open the entire year, and he argued
that the farmer is not liable to build
large warehouse under the provisions
of the act. and, therefore, cannot afford
to keep men in charge the year around.
Senator Tawney took Senator Hompe
severely to task for culpabe inconsiS-
tencies. Senator Hompe, when the bull
was uloCOfClCO III Hdu Odlu
the only objection he had to the bill
was in section 5, while now ne opposes
every feature of the bill. Moreover, he
had attempted to make it partisan
measure.
Opposition of Owners.
Senator Tawney alleged that the op-
position to the bill comes from the own
erS of elevators, and because it brings
them under the control of the grain AMI
warehouse commission. The elevator
men reap their greatest profit from
overage. Their system of weighing
makes this possible. but would be cor
rected by the bill. The discussion ran
on time, when Senator Day relieved
the strain by moving to take a recess
until 2:30. This prevailed, and upon
reconvening Senator Davis moved to
strike out section 6, for the reason that
the point is fully covered by the Ma
guire bill, already passed. Senator
Tawney explained that the section re-
lated to elevators built on property
contiguous to the right of way of rail-
way companies. Senator Davis stated
that his amendment was the result of a
consultation during the noon hour.
81 would like to inquire with whom
this consultation was held?" instantly
asked Senator Leavitt.
81 have not consulted the governor
nor any of his people," was the reply.
II did not mention the governor" re-
turned Mr.. Leayitt. II merely asked

Taxation Of Logs.

During the morning session royal
row occurred over Ii. F. 643, Mr.. Mark
hams bill to amend section s, chapter
IL, General Statutes 1878. 1t is short
and sweet, but full of meat anu mean-
ing, and is worded as follows:
Section l. Section of chapter II,
General Statutes of 1878, be and the same
is hereby amended by adding to the end
thereof the following:
) Provided, That all products of the
gsoil or forest shall be listed and assessed
in the county, town or district i'll which
such products are found on the 1st day
of May of the year in which such prop
erty is taxed.
Messrs. Wyman. Cairns and German
! fought the principle of the bill with
; might and main. asserting it was unjust
and pernicious and should be killed.
MeSsrs Markham. Boggs, Abbott and
Moore as stoutly protested that the bill
/ is much-needed measure, for the bene-
Z fit of counties where numbering opera
tons are conducted. The friends of the
bill were too strong and numerous TO be
oyerridden, so truce was declared for
the time being and the committee re-
ported progress to secure time to catch
its breath.
Gov. Knute's Very Best.
A forensic battle was precipitated by
a motion OF Mr.. Zelch that the house
take up S. F. 37l, Senator Sam Peter
sons bill, inspired by 1.-The peasant
king" as some Republicans call Gov.
Nelson, to regulate the receipt, storage
and shipment of grain Oh the right of
way of railroad companies. The bill
was No. 260 on general orders, and
at once howl of protest went up. But
it was in vain. The wires had been
laid, and when the motion received
majority vote. Chairman Turrell decided
promptly this was sufficient to advance
the bill.
Mr.. jacobson then jauntily remarked
that there could be no ground for fur
ther discussion of the bill, and moved
that it be recommended 10 pass.
The energetic statesman from Lac
qui Parle was "way off, on the point of
discussion. In about two minutes be
was made to realize this fact. MIR.
Ongstad and MI. O'Neill jumped onto
the bill with both feet. They main
tanned that all the farmers ask is to be
let alone, except that they wanted the
right to build warehouses and elevators
along the right of way of railroads. and
they were now in a fair way to get that

calfe at Work.

Chief Engineer All Sid of Com mo
dore Simonson's flagship met with a
mishap which resulted in a wetting OF
his pajamas and in bad scare. He
was walking about the deck, it is
rumored, in a somnambuistic state,
when he went little too far and fell
overheard. Whether he was asleep or
not when he took to water, it is certain
that he was wide-awake soon after, and
made enough noise to arouse the neigh
borhood. He was rescued from his
precarious position by the iudicious
use of a boathook in the hands of a
policeman.
MIR. Rowell's "pet pile driver" has
been pumped out, and this morning
the derrick was being raised, but the
pumps had to be worked to keep her
clear. Mr.. Metcalfe has probably ar
rived at the conclusion that waiting for
the 'new pile driver" is rather UNI
profitable, as this morning the wrecking
gear brought from the Coast was taken
aboard a scow and towed out to the
Miowera by the tug.
There is a growing feeling of dis
content among the crew of the stranded
steamer, arising principally from the
continued delay and enforced idleness.
Many of the men would leave the ship
in a hurry if employment could be
found ashore.
The dredger ceased operations on
the loose rock off Brewers wharf this
morning, the steel blades of the stone
cutter having been worn out in the rain

A MERRY TRANSIT WAR.
PAYNE MAY PUT ON A BUS
LINE NEXT.
Whereupon Smith Would Cut Rates
Again An Opinion on the
Transportation Contest.

Conductors on the tramway say
Manager Payne intends to put on
buses to compete with the new Smith
line, in the hope that he can drive out
his Australian rival The buses
will run between cars and one will wait
at the foot of Nuuahu hill to carry
tramway passengers further up at no
extra charge. The regular fares will
be adjusted to the present Smith
scale.
In that event Mr.. Smith has been
heard to say that he will make a further
reduction of rates. He is well satisfied
with his venture so far as it has gone,
and as he is not forced to depend on
the line for livelihood, he thinks he
can stand a rate war He is said to
have been through one in the colonies,
with bad results to tramway.
A well-known Honolulan in talking
over the fight this morning said I'll
Payne puts on buses every man who
rides in them will cast vote for the
indefinite continuance of mule car
transit for one don't believe the
city wants that slow coach business any
longer 1t is antiquated and INSULT
cient, and to depend on it in the future
will retard the growth of our outlying
suburbs. We have no feeling agains,
the tramway beyond surprise that ii
should keep SO far behind the times
If it would put on the trolley we would
all ride; but it seems that the foreign
owners will do nothing of the kind un-
til they are driven to it. Competition
is the only thing that will bring them
to terms, hence l believe in giving Mr..
Smith and his buses all the encourage
ment we can. With deficits in
stead of dividends to face the syndi.
cate will begin to feel like improving
the service. 1t is folly to say that the
trolley system is not success. Really
it is superseding the cable in mos,
places, particularly in New York and
Brooklyn. Up in Seattle trolley cars
mount thirty per cent. grades with ease.
Only in snowy countries is the electric
car disappointment, but SO is every
other kind of car or wheeled vehicle
when it comes to question of ice and
drifts. Here in Honolulu the trolley
would work like charm"

THE AMERICAN LEAGUE.
Something About the Principles Of the
New Secret Political Society

The STAR has had a reporter out in
vestigating the American League about
which there has been many rumors
more or less explicit. 1t appears that
the League is society Of American
citizens that has pledged itself to main,
tain the Provisional Government in all
things except compromise with mon
archy. Besides this point its code of
bylaws covers such principles as these:
The increase of the police force and
the reduction of the military to a
volunteer basis armed support of the
authorities against riot or insure ction
pending the establishment of stable
government ; the preference of Ameri-
can citizens AS candidates for office
popular representation in the Advisory
| Council.
The League is secret order and is
supposed to have something like
seventy or eighty members.

enger agent of the California Southern
Railway, who is here in the interest Of
that company and the Atlantic and
Pacific and Atchison, Topeka and

Southern California with Kansas City

ference yesterday afternoon with repre-.
sentatives of the Wilder and Inter.
Island steamship companies and the

view to arranging special tourist rates
to the volcano from all points in the
United States. 1t is proposed by the

also represented by Mr.. Warner in this
matter, to issue return tourist tickets
from the States to the Hawaiian Islands,
which will include trip to the volcano
and possibly other points, and Mr..
Warner is now here to make the neces.
sary arrangements. AS the Volcano
house people have let contract to
furnish transportation from Hilo to the
volcano, their share of the proposed
arrangement will include hotel accom-
modations for tourists at Hilo and the
Volcano house and the necessary trans
portation both ways If suitable terms
can be agreed on, this new move will
