noised about upon the streets, the
Tax Department was severely criti-
cized. In the case of one police officer,
taxes for three dogs were charged up
against him. He showed a receipt for
two, so that in any event, he should
have been made to account for one
only. He was not the owner of the
other dog purported to have been seen
on his premises and was allowed to
go on his way. Another police officer
had one dog against his name. Upon
looking into the matter it was found
that Marshal Brown himself had paid
taxes for the dog.
Where the blame is to be laid is left
with those concerned in the matter
One of these said yesterday: "Just
because tax collector goes about and
sees dog on my premises is no rea-
son that the animal belongs to me.
Some are good jumpers and can get
over my fence, while others may come
through the gate, if members of my
family happen to leave this open.

The main question in regard to the
sending of the commissioners is the
wherewithal. In case the branches of
the various native societies through
out the Islands agree to put up the
money, the men will be sent. Other
wise, the project will not go through.
Late last night the news came from
a reliable source that the two native
political societies-Aloha Alma and Ka-
laiaina-had decided to send TO Wash

a secretary, the commissioners to be

meal, flies to another part of the cage,
and the car slides down again to the

Now, then, as to the water On a
line with the bottom of the cage is a
small bowl filed with water. Toward
the top of the cage is a place which

from this is suspended a cord, to the
end of which is small porcelain buck

When the bird becomes thirsty it sim

has asked if it is possible to have such
an event on that holiday, and the cap
