RIPARIAN BOARD MEETS.
Sand Diggers Must Pay the State
Hereafter for the Privilege.

The Riparian Commissioners held their
regular monthly meeting at their office
in this city yesterday afternoon. Cover
nor Voorhees, presided and all the Com
missioners were present 1t was expected
that some action would be taken in the
Cragin matter. Cragin is the man who
has applied for a grant of the lands under
water between Bedloes and Ellis Islands
on which he proposes to erect immense
warehouses and construct docks, wllarves
and piers. The Board has practically
made the grant, but it has to be sane
toned by the Government Harbor Line
Board, which now has the matter under
consideration. The Riparian Commission
ers took no further action in the matter
at yesterdays meeting.
Another matter of Importance which
has occupied the attention of the Board
for some time is the matter of pumping
up sand from the lands under water be-
longing to the State and using it for fill
ing In waste lands. For some time this
was done without the knowledge of the
Commissioners and to the great profit
of those engaged in it. When the Board
did learn what was going on they insisted
that those who were making so much out
of the scheme should pay the State for
the sand they were using. Permission
was granted the Bentron Dredging Com
pany to excavate sand at Atlantic City
for $500.
Application was made for permission to
excavate sand at Shark River, where it
is proposed to use machines capable OF
excavating 1000 cubic yards a day The
Board resolved to refer all the sand dig
ging business to a special committee to
be appointed later. Several minor grants
were made and then the Board adjourned

NO FEES, NO PAY
County Collector Refuses to
Give County Clerk and
Employees Their
Salaries.
SUIT BEFORE JUSTICE COLLINS
Stack and Griffen Hope to
Compel Dugan to Hand
Over the Money.

Whether County Clerk Maurice ].
Stack shall be compelled to wait for his
salary and that of the employees of his
office until an amount sufficient to pay
the same shall have been collected in
fees in his office, regardless of the fact
that the county. to which he must look
for payment, owes him for costs of court,
elections. etc. an amount in excess of
the claims presented by him and his en-
ployes for salaries, Is question which
shall be argued before Justice Collins in
the Supreme Court at an early day.
This morning ex-senator Edwards, rep
resenting the County Clerk, applied for
a rule to show cause why a writ of man
damus should not be issued compelling
the County Collector TO pay his salary,
regardless of the amount of money in
hand collected as fees in his office. Sec
ton of the Act of 1898, which fixes an
annual salary of 81, 500 each for the Clerk,
Register and Surrogate, and abolishes the
fee system in those offices, clearly speci-
fies that the County Clerks salary shall
be paid by the County Collector No
mention is made of the same having to
be paid out of the fees of those received
in the office.
A separate division of the same sec
ton of the act provides that the County
Clerk shall name the employees of his
office and recommend the salaries to be
paid to them, and that the Board of
Freeholders shall sanction such appoint
ments and concur in the salaries recon-
mended
On April of last year the Board of
Freeholders passed resolution in COM
pliance with this provision, but on July
16 following another resolution passed by
that body provided that the salaries of
the County Clerk and Register, as well
as the employees of their respective offices
should be paid by the County Collector
out of the fees collected in such offices.
On behalf of Deputy County Clerk Ed
ward W. Gritten, ex-senator Edwards
also applied for rule to show cause why
writ of certiorari should not be issued
compelling the County Collector to pay
his salary, and, of course, this would
mean the salaries of the other employees
of the Office, regardless of the fees col
lected.
At the suggestion of Justice Collins this
application was. laid over to see if some
amicable agreement in regard to the mat
ter could not be reached by conference
with County Counsel John Griffin.
A peculiar phase of the county's refusal
to pay the County Clerks salary except
out of the fees received by him lies in
the fact that the county for such fees now
owes Mr. Stack $2,O76 an amount suffi-
cient to meet all the salaries due. The
law provides that the County Clerk is
personally responsible for all unpaid fees,
cash, etc., and in order to protect him
self he is allowed to demand payment of
all such fees, costs, ETC., in advance.
Under this provision, Mr.. Stack, if he
so desired, could tie up all court business
by refusing to serve necessary papers un-
til the same were paid for.
The complications arise from the crude
ness of the act of 1898.

CHRONICLE IN 81
TERNIEW.

When seen yes
terday evening at
the Palace, Judge
Humphreys de-
clined to discuss
the political con-
ditions which are
disturbing the
peace of the ISL
ands. preferring to
abide the results
as shown by time.
In regard to the
strong movement
which is on foot
in the islands to
have the Territory
made a part of
the State of Cali
fornia, the Judge
said:
Such a move
ment is on foot.
and | am heartily
in favor of it, l
think the happiest
solution of all the
difficulties which
are VeXing the
people Of the ISL
ands, and the
political condi-
lions which are
retarding the de-
yelopment of their
resources, would
be to have them
annexed to Cali
fornia. This would
be mutually adj
vantageous, to the
State and to the
Territory. 1t
would give Cali
fornia an addi-
tional Congress-
man, and, at the
same time give
TO Hawaii the
strength of the
entire California
delegation in Con-
gress. 1t would
give to the islands
a stable govern
ment with the Su-
preme Court of
California and the
Civil Code of the
State, together
with all the deci-
sions and rulings
of that Court,
reaching back for
fifty years"
When asked re-
garding the oppo-
sition that would
be made to such a
movement Judge
Humphreys ex-
pressed himself of
the belief that in
the United States
it would be purely
of a sentimental
nature. while in
the Islands it
would come en-
tirely from the
people connected
with the govern
ment of the ISL
ands, and their
sympathizers. He
believed that the
great mass of the
people of the ISL
ands would favor
such a change as
the best solution
of present condi-
lions.
There is no po-
litical reason why
the change should
not be made" con-
tinued the Judge.
1T would be
necessity for sub
Congress to pass
an act that could
be written on a
sheet of foolscap
paper, and there
would be no
necessity of sub
hitting it to the
people of the ISL
ands at all. I'm
der the law Con-
gress has the pow
er to pass such
laws as i'm it's
wisdom are deem
ed best for the
government of the
Islands, as it has
full control of the
Territory.
" c a / if o MIA
would have to
agree to the an
neXation by an
act of the Legis-
lature calling for
a constitutional
amendment to be
voted on by the
people of the
State. There is
no more reason
why the Hawai-
ian Islands should
not become a part
of California than
there is against
Long Island be-
ing "A part of New
York, or the Far
allones being a

The Two are Printed i'm Parallel Col

Here are two purported interviews

call your attention to my interview in
the Examiner of the same date which
covers all 1 said upon the subject to

1t would seem however as though
comparison Of the two is the best evil

one interview. One is more in eNtenso
than the other. But there is nothing
contradictory in either of what is in
the other, and the same ideas are eX-

counties are. The
people of Hawaii
are anxious for

but under present
conditions this is
impossible. The

Now the real
news from the ISL
ands is much more
important than
anything l could
tell you about
myself. 1t is this:
There is a big
plan on foot to
annex the Hawai-
ian Islands to the
State of CalifOr-
mia, and it is
backed by men of
wealth, character
and brains. There
are many island
ers who believe it
would be better
to be part of a
great state than
the whole of a
mere territory.
They offer many
plausible induce
ments for instance
an addition to

greater voting

congressman, an
increase in the
