DR.. CARTER IS HSE|GED
A NARROWING CRY FOR HELP
ACROSS THE PAIL.
Ex-Judge Rathburn Won't Swear Out
Keep Him Awake Nights.

A terrible tale of siege comes from
Makao. DR.. a. b. Carter says the
strain is growing too severe to be
borne. Unless relief comes he will
break down.
All night last night, he claims, he
and his wife and his servants, heavily
armed, were kept on the watch and in
apprehension of attack from W. H.
Rathburn and his band of retainers,
who, also believed to be heavily armed
patrolled the roads and the vicinity of
Makao, DR.. Carters residence. Such is
the story that comes over the Pali
w. II. Rathburn, eX-District Magis-
trate for Koolau was arrested some
time ago on a warrant charging him
with adultery with Mrs. Carter. After
a number of continuances, the case
was finally nolle pressed, DR.. Carter
and his wife having become reconciled,
DR.. Carter expressing a wish not to
prosecute farther, and Rathburn re-
signing as District Magistrate.
Sunday night DR.. Carter who had
suspected for several nights that some
one was prowling around his premises,
remained on guard and during the
night shot and wounded a trespasser,
who proved to be Rathburn. The wound
was not a severe one. The bullet struck
in the right arm near the elbow and
offered to surrender himself to the po-
lice.
But Rathburn did not seem to think
so seriously of it as DR., Carter did
He had a surgeon dress his wound but
he did not swear out any warrant for
Carters arrest. In fact he did not even
claim that it was Carter who shot him
In strict fact he did not say who shot
him or very much about the matter.
DR.. Carter seems to be the one who
is doing the worrying. He seemed to
want the high sheriff to put a Gordon
of police around Makao to keep Rath-
burn away. The high sheriff gave the
deputy sheriff of the district instruc-
tions to furnish any police protection
that would seem necessary.
Whether Rathburn and his retainers
actually were prowling around in the
vicinity of Makao last night, or wheth-
er DR.. Carter's fears gave rise to the
idea that they were lis not certainly
known. The police rather think he
was, though careful not to trespasS
again, willing to wrong Dr. Carter. ano
as for Mrs. Carter-who knows?

WEALTHY MEN ARE REPORTING
TO PRATT.
Injunction Proceedings to Test the In
come Tax Law-Men of Small Income
are Holding Back.

"The men with big incomes are maxi
ing their statements" said Tax Collec-
tor Pratt this morning speaking of the
income law, but the small fry are
holding off. Returns are coming in
very fast, but they are from the indivi-
duals and corporations having large in
comes The biggest men financially in
Honolulu are bringing in their sworn
statements of incomes, and the corpor-
alton are doing likewise.
'"rhe month is only half over and 1t
is natural of course for people to delay
such a matter as making statements
until the last moment. l think the
news that the law is to be contested
and that some well known lawyers
have expressed the opinion that it is
not constitutional. has made many
people hesitate. 1 expect a very big
rush at the end of the month. The
plantations are making statements and
the big business men, but the men of
small income are holding off, The big
statements required more care and
time for preparation, and this may be
the reason for the promptness in many
cases, in getting them out of the way
Pratt has not yet received any re-
ports from the tax collectors on the
other islands, who are presumed to be
receiving returns as he is here. Though
filed here, the number so far is nothing
like half the total number expected The
last few days of the month are expect
ed to be very busy ones at Pratts office,
for it is expected that people will then
begin to rush their statements into
comply with the law within the time
limit Those who do not make state
ments before the last day of this
month will be subject to assessment on
the tax collectors own estimate of their
incomes.
AS a means of testing the law a suit
for an injunction to stop the assessor
from demanding or receiving income
tax statements, is proposed. Unless
such an action is began the matter
would probably have to wait till No
vember next, when the tax collector
will attempt to make collections. Al
present Pratt is simply receiving the
statements and waiting for the expected

Il am not recording the statements

| the law is going to be knocked out

expense and labor unless it is necessary
to do so, and if we are to have tes
case at once, l shall wait for the result

JARED Will Try GA&&AIA

Dr. Jared G.. Smith of the United
States Experiment Station, thinks that
there is a good field in Hawaii for Cul-
tiVation of CaSsaVa for starch. The
business has proved highly profitable
in Florida, where Cassava is grown un-
der conditions somewhat similar to
those existing in Hawaii and the
starch produced is superior to that OBJ
tained from other plants.
Smith recently wrote to II. r. Stock
bridge, director of the United States
station in Lake City, Florida, for de-
tails regarding Cassava. He asked for
information as to the market for Cas-
saVa, what it cOmpetes with, the ma
chinery needed in making starch and
the different varieties grown. BY the
Doric yesterday a reply was received
and Smith will secure some CassaVa
plants and experiment with them. He
hopes to arouse interest in the plant
here and add it to Hawaii's products.
Stockbridge writes that the demand
for CassaVa starch very much exceeds
the supply and that the market seems
to be unlimited as Cassava is found
more economical by users than starch
made from corn, wheat or potatoes.
The Cassava product displaces the
others as fast as il becomes available.
Stockbridge wrote:
There are four steam Cassava starch
factories at present in operation in
Florida, with plans for one more large
one perfected for erection the coming
season. No two are alike in machinery
or methods. The industry and techni-
cal process is now somewhat expert
mental and each company engaged In
the same has developed it's own meth
DDS and form of machinery.
"The matter of varieties is still un'
settled in Florida. Practically, how
ever, from a commercial standpoint bu
one variety and that the White Swee
Cassava of Jamaica is grown. There Is
no other variety grown as an actua
source of raw material for the facto
ries."
| Cassava is grown on one ranch on tn
/ island of Hawaii and DR.. Smith thinks
| the production of starch may prove
very profitable here.

ENGINEER EDWARDS MAKES A
REPORT.
Forty-Five Gallons Minute-Leak-
age for Which Fourteen Hundred Dol
lars Should be Forfeited.

Superintendent of Public Works
Boyd has received a letter from f. B.
Edwards, the engineer who looked af-
ter the construction of the new sewer
system, regarding the work of the con-
tractors. Edwards is about to leave
Honolulu. He says that the work is
practically finished, and calls atten-
ten to leakage of As gallons a minute
in the sewers, on account of which the
contractors should forfeit 81, 400 accord
ing to his figures. The letter is as fol-
lows:
"Hon. James H. Boyd, Superintendent
of Public Works. Hawaii
Sir: The contract for constructing
sewers in the City of Honolulu made by
the Hawaiian Government with Messrs.
Vincent & Belser on June 13, 1899, was
practically completed on October 6, 1900.
An extension of six months was given
them in which to make some repairs.
These repairs are now practically COM
pleted and they are entitled to two
thirds of the amount now reserved up
on their contract.
THE contract time for completing the
work was July 1, 1900. The extra time
as required by the contractors was due
to the unforeseen large quantities en-
countered in the ground and delays due
to the presence of the bubonIc plague
in the city. On page 81 of their con-
/ tract is a clause providing for a for
feiture and bonus as the work was
completed after or before the time spe-
Gifted.
Under the above circumstances l be-
leve the contractors should be entitled
to a reasonable extension of their con-
tract time.
"On page Is of their contract is a
clause about water-tight work. In my
! letter of June s, 1901 to you, l reported
upon the leaks in the sewer at that
time. Since that date the contractors
have made repairs upon the sewers in

VHARFRATS SCAUSEP|BKIA
STEAL FRUIT AND FISH FRON
THE MARKET.
Scores of Boys are Hanging About the
Docks, Gambling and Getting Into
Evil Ways.

Wharf rats are beginning to give
trouble about the water front. With
the advent of vacation time crowd of
youngsters was turned loose on the
community. Naturally the youngsters
have nothing to do but amuse them
selves. as best they can. While the
proportion of boys who have fallen in
to evil ways is only small part of the
school children let loose during the
summer months, nevertheless there are
enough to cause considerable annoy
ance.
Dozens of boys can be seen every day
gambling and playing about the
WharVes. In addition to this they re-
main away from home all night and
instead of going to their proper places
to sleep bunk about anywhere that is
convenient.
Some of them have gone so far as to
begin to commit petty thefts. Sunday
night some of the wharf rats visited
the market and broke into the meat
shop. Entrance was secured by cut
ting away the wire screen. Once in
side the crowd took everything which
might serve as food. Pineapples, ba-
nanas and other fruits were taken from
the fruit stand and considerable salt
salmon was also carried away. Much
stuff was wasted by being thrown about
the market. There is no clue to the
thieves. Fish Inspector Berndt is In
clined to the opinion that the work was
done by some of the numerous wharf
rats about the town.

APPROPRIATIONS FOR BUILDINGS
LEFT OUT.
All for Island Of Oahu Missing-No
Money for Royal and Other Schools
Serious Box.

1t was a good thing that Acting Gov
ernor Cooper held the Legislature from
adiourning until Thursday, for a most
serious blunder has been discovered in
the appropriation bill. In some unac-
countable way the entire appropriation
for school houses on the island of Ca
In. was left out Only the new items
for reformatory schools appear in the
bill as it was finally passed.
One of the most important items in
the list for Oahu was that for the Roy
al school. The old buildings on Emma
street were abandoned last year and
since then the school has occupied the
old fumigating warehouse. This place
is. of course. next to intolerable and is
only being used as temporary eXpedi-
ency. Another important item was that
for a school house at Aiea where there
are 125 children and no school at all.
Other school houses on this islands
We're not provided for and are badly
needed.
The omission of the appropriations
seems to have been pure oversight
as members of the Legislature disclaim
any thought of leaving them out. The
only way out of the difficulty. it has
been suggested to the Legislature. is
for the Governor to veto the entire list
of appropriations for school houses and
let the Legislature revise that part of
the bill.
For Honolulu the total sum of S92 600
was asked, of which $4,000 was for the
new Royal school. the remaining $4,000
being for Kalihi-waena, Pohukaina
Waikiki, etc. The outside districts of
Oahu were to get $16,SOO, divided as fol-
lows: Aiea, $4,000; Pearl City. 50 700;
waipahu. $4,000; Waialua, $4,000; teach
ers' cottages. etc, the balance. The
total is $10S, 500 These items were all
in the Governors estimates as submit
ted to the Legislature.

PRESIDENT mcKINLEY's DEATH.

The nation is draped in mourning
for its third martyred president, Will
liam Mckinley, to whose relief death
came at 2:15 this morning. All
countries mourn the loss of their
chief magistrates, whether having
been called to rule by the right
of succession or elected to pre-
side by the popular expression of
the people. Where the latter is the
case, and the executive has become
exalted by the will of those of whom
he is the chief, where in reality he
serves rather than rules, the grief of
the nation is the more sincere and
heart spoken.
In the death of President Mckinley
the people are in sorrow, not only for
the president but for the man. The
same sad terrible circumstances that
have made grief the more poignant
have developed those added traits in
the late presidents character that
