SUGAR Planters AGENT BIG PACIFIC MAIL DEAL
INTERNAL REVENUE COLLECTOR
HAYWOOD RESIGNS.
Will go to Washington as the Repre-
sentative of the Hawaiian Sugar Plant
ers' Association in the States.

The resignation of Internal Revenue
Collector William Haywood will be sent
to Washington tomorrow by the steam
ship China, to be telegraphed from San
Francisco. AS soon as possible the
collector viii leave himself, to repre-
sent the Hawaiian Planters Association
in the United States.
Mr.. Haywood has been appointed the
planters representative to look after
the sugar interests, as well as other
matters that concern the territory, es-
pecially at Washington. He will make
that city his headquarters. From there
he will be able to keep the planters well
informed with regard to labor matters
sugar movements and all other matters
of interest to the islands. He will also
be able to assist in giving infOrmatl On
at Washington about the conditions
here.
In the past the planters have sent
many men from here at intervals to
look after the labor supply and other
things. Now they will have their repre-
sentative in the states all the time, and
in William Haywood they have secured
one of the most energetic and best in
formed men in the islands.
Mr.. Haywood has been collector of In
ternal Revenue since June IA, being the
first holder of that office in the Terri
tory of Hawaii. The appointment came
quite suddenly, and unexpected to Mr.
Haywood himself on the next steamer
after American laws went into effect
The new collector took hold of the office
at once and with the aid of agents sent
here from San Francisco internal re-
venue district has organized the busi-
ness of the office, which is now in first
class condition for his successor.
Before the unexpected appointment
as collector came Mr.. Haywood had an
nounced his intention to practice law
hot
would be no collector here, the terri
tory having been made a part of the
internal revenue district of San Fran
cisco.
The man who is to take the important
post of the planters representative al
washington first came to Hawaii in
June 1897, as United States CONSUL
general to the Republic of Hawaii. He
remained in that office up to the time
of the change of government last June
d. after which date the office naturally be-
came extinct
AS consul-general Mr.. Haywood per.
formed the duties of his office with the
utmost tact and he soon became very
popular representatives Most of his life
had been spent in Washington, where
he was in the service of the State De.
partment, and he was not new to the
duties of the consular service. The In.
ternal revenue collectorship was a new
and difficult position to take up in Ha.
wall, but in the five months that have
elapsed since Mr.. Haywood took hold
the bureau has been organized to a higf
state of efficiency.
The planters representative has
many friends in Honolulu who will bt
sorry to csee him leave though all re.
cognize the fitnes of the choice made by
the association, for Mr.. Haywood
stands well at Washington as in Ha.
waii, and he is expected to be of grea
value to the sugar men and the whole
people of Hawaii in keeping them post
ed and in acting for them thus obviat
ing the necessity of their sending agents
to look after their interests in the past
