@NS BHT his LONG STUNT TALK EXTRA SESSION. SENATE KILLS LOAN HH WATER WORKS MB CANE LOADER
SLASHES IT TO PIECES AND TO
DEATH.
Appropriations for Next Two Years are
Now in Very Sorry Plight-Work OF
This Morning.

The Home Rulers had it all their own
way this morning in the Senate, not a
Republican being present at the open
ing. Senator Crabbe finally arrived,
giving the minority representation.
At the opening of the session Cecil
Browns loan bill was passed around.
Kauuha moved that the items in the
governors special message be stricken
from tne appropriation bill. they being
provided for in the Brown bill. This
motion prevailed.
Mr.. Kanuha then moved that the ap-
preparation bill pass second reading.
John T. Brown explained that all of the
items, OUTSIDE of those contained in the
Governor special message had been
opposed. The bill then passed and
final reading was set for Wednesday
morning.
Cecil Browns appropriation or loan,
bill was then taken up on second read
ing. When the first paragraph was
read, Kanuha moved to strike it out.
The section reads as follows
Section 1. The following sums,
amounting to $l,079,S00 are hereby ap-
propliated out of any moneys which
may be received by the Treasury dur
ing the ensuing biennial period from the
sale of any bonds which may be issued
inaccordance with any law now in force
or that may hereafter be enacted"
CHere follow the entire list of apprO-
priations aggregating the total sum
giVen)
The motion obtained on a straight
Home Rule vote.
Just there the cat put her head out of
the bag. 1t was the plain intention of
the Home Rulers to kill the bill, j. 7.
| Brown moved to strike out the title
Kanuha moved to kill the bin. Carter
moved to adjourn: Achi moved to ad-
journ sine die. Everybody was on the
HD,N .saf %
the Republican motions were voted
down.
In order to inflict less pain, the Irish
man cut the monkeys tail off a piece
at a time Thus the Home Rulers pro-
ceeded with Browns bill.
Sections 2, 3, 4, s. and We're in turn
| stricken out. The title, and finally the
bill, We're knocked out.
At this point adjournment was taken
| to 10 a. m. Wednesday.
The extent of the work of the SEN
ate this morning is very far reaching.

COLLECTING INCOME TAX
TREASURER WRIGHT MAKING
PREPARATIONS.
Meeting of Tax Collectors to Discuss
Ways Of Enforcing the New Law.
Effective Next Month.

A meeting of tax collectors was held
this morning in the office of Treasurer
Wright, to discuss arrangements for
the collection of the income tax, under
the law passed by the present legisla-
ture. The enforcement of the new law
gives lot of new work to the treasury
department. and the tax collectors from
all the islands met with Wright to talk
the matter over. At the meeting were
Jonathan Shaw of Honolulu and his
successor j. w. Pratt, w. r. Robinson
of Maui, N c. WilfOng of Hawaii. Mr.
Wright and Attorney A. G. NJ Robert
son.
The income tax law is to go into
effect next month. Its enforcement will
require much office work for Wright
and his assistants. Under the law de-
tailed statements are to be collected by
the tax officials regarding the incomes
of all persons affected by the act. An
income tax of two per cent is assessed
on all incomes of more than $1,000 per
annum $1,000 being exempt. In order to
assess the tax the treasury department
will have to collect many statistics re-
garding the business of firms and in
dividuals, and an increase in the cleri
cal force may be necessary. This morn
ing the officials discussed the details
of the work @reparing blanks for the
statements of income, etc
The income tax law requires all per-
sons and firms affected by it's provis-
ions to file sworn statements of their
incomes and of their expenditures.
Firms are required to keep books show
ing their receipts and expenditures and
tax collectors are to be allowed to in
spect such accounts.

SOMETHING NEW SPRUNG ON
MAUI.
Mr.. Kicker Experimenting with Labor
Saving Device-Hope General for Its
Success.

Mr. Kicker formerly connected with
Gregg & Company has introduced a
cane loader on Maui that is just now
attracting the attention Of all planta-
tiOns and plantation agencies. 1t is
claimed for this remarkable invention
that it picks up the cane and loads it
upon the cars, thus saving a great
amount of labor and expense. At last
advices the machinery was just being
unloaded from vessel at kahului, SO
that no news of any practical tests
have yet been received here.
The cane unloader, which has been in
practical operation at Eva and other
plantations for some time came from
the same source. This i'm itself gives
the planters confidence in the new con-
triVanCe. Mr.. Kicker will make his
first experiments at Hamakuapoko, mill
and Paia.
J. p. Cooke of the firm of Alexander
& Baldwin, says: "All the plantations
of the islands are watching this matter
with particular interest. 1t is impos-
sible to estimate the saving it will
bring about if successful. 1t viii do
away with a large number of laborers
necessary to load cane cars, and as |
understand it, will save a great deal Of
time. We have confidence that the in
ventiOn will prove success, but of
course cannot tell anything about it
until it is tried. If successful or if it
accomplishes what is promised for it,
| feel sure all the plantations Of the
Islands will avail themselves of the ap-
pliance."
If Mr.. Kicker makes a success of his
invention he will come in for a bonus
or reward of $1,000 offered b. the Plan
, ters' Association some months ago for
the introduction of useful contrivances.

SAILING OF zEALANDTA.

The date Of the departure Of the Zea-
landia for San Francisco has not yet
been determined. 1t is hoped by her
agents that she will be able to sail by
the end of the week but this is not
likely. a meeting of the local organi-
zation of boiler makers will be held to-
night for the purpose of discussing
whether the local men shall work on
the boat. In case of their refusal Chief
Engineer Keller and his regular force
will work over time and make neces-
sary repairs. In the matter of book
ings for the Coast the people who have
booked by the Sierra for the 25th will
have the preference over those who are

A SEWER DERT-

The sewer contractors are among the
number "up against it" on account of
the failure of the Legislature to make
proper appropriations. The govern
ment owes the concern a fraction over
$4,000. 1t was put in the loan bill, but
was relegated to the waste basket with
that important measure. 1t was then
contained in the special message of the
acting governor, but there it met the
same fate. 1t is a problem now as to
what can be done. The contractors
saw certain of the Senators this morn
ing and received a promise that the
item would receive attention at the next
special session whatever that may
mean.

sable, and dense volumes Of sulphur
smoke is being emitted from the small
crater. In many of the cracks fire is
plainly visible. This condition of the
crater may continue indefinitely or it
may end in an outbreak at any time
