THE OREGON At
ANCHOR OFF PORT
THE GREAT FIGHTING MACHINE
THAT HELPED DESTROY CEvE-
RA'S FLEET ARRIVES

The magnificent battleship Oregon
today, nine days from San Francisco.
Captain Rodman of the Iroquois went
out to the battleship as she came to an
chor to see whether it was the inten-
ton of the commander of the Oregon
to come into the harbor. But the Ore
goD draws twenty-eight feet of water,
and the commander had decided not to
come in for his stay here of a week or
ten days.
The Oregon sailed from San Fran
cisco about IL o'clock Saturday morn
ing, November l, and so brought two
days later news. 1t is considerably
more than year since the Oregon WAS
at this port before. She arrived here
from The Orient June 4, 1901. She is now
on her way to Yokohama to join the
t.siatic squadron.
She is in command of Captain Will
liam 7. Carter; Executive officer, 1t
Commander A w. Grant Navigator,
Lt.-Com. Craven 1t. F. B. Upham,
Ordinance officer; Lieutenants Pollock,
Kavanagh, Tozer Kearney, Overstreet,
Ensign Svarz; Surgeon Stokes, Mid
shipmen Land, Osburn, Marquart, Mar
tin, Blackburn, Davis, Kerrick; Chief
Enginaef Lt.-Com. Kincaid Captain
Russell, L. SIN. c.; Lieut.. O'Leary
u, S. NJ. c.; Paymaster Bscoe.
The Oregon has tventy-eight officers
and 509 men including her marine
corps
The Oregon was one day later in
sailing from San Francisco than was
expected, owing to delay in gettins ner
stores aboard. Her trip had been con-
siderably delayed before this by trou.
BILE in getting men to man her enlist
ments in the navy not being as rapid
as could be desired The men aboard
the Oregon seem to be a fire set of
men however, and the vessel is in
splendid condition and presents the fine
massive impregnable appearance as She
floats at anchor, which has so !alpress-
ed the thousands who have visited her
since she first went into commission.
Whe-. the Oregon was here year
ago iast summer she was visited by
hundreds, and it is expected that dur
ing the week or ten days of her stay
here this time, opportunity will be giv-
en- for many more to visit her.
While the Oregon has had a stirring
history, probably the most striking
feature of her career was her voyage
down the Pacific coast around South
America and to the West Indies in
time to take part in the destruction of
Cevera's fleet. Two vessels that played
important parts in the operations
against Spain in 1898 are now here, the
Oregon and the New York.

TURNED DOWN AGAIN.
Another of Judge Little's Decisions Set
Aside.

The Supreme Court today rendered a
decision in the case of II. Hackfeld &
Company VS.. the Hilo Railway Com
pany, reversing the ruling of Judge
Little of Hilo. The action was original
ly brought in the Fourth Circuit Court
to enforce a lien by Hackfeld upon
property of the defendant On a trial
before Judge Little without a jury the
court decided in favor of the defend
ant, holding that Hackfeld & Com
pany had not succeeded in establish
ing their lien, which was transferred
to the firm by a sub-contractor.
In the Supreme Court Justices Gal
braith and Perry and Judge Robinson
heard the case, Frear being disquali-
fled. In a long opinion by Perry, the
other justices concurring, the court
concludes with ordering the judgment
set aside and a new trial held.

TAX STRIKERS
ALLOWED TO
VOTE
DOLE's RECOMMEND
ALTON THAT ORGANIC ACT BE
AMENDED WOULD MEAN GOOD
MONEY FOR THE TERRITORY.

The recommendation of Governor
Dole that an amendment be made in
the Organic Act SO that no one shall be
allowed to vote who has failed to pay
taxes, is the result of the condition OF
the poll tax lists at the present time.
Under the Republic it was provided by
the constitution that no one should be
lentitled to vote at an election unless
he should prior to such election have
paid on or before the first day Of Jan
uary next preceding the day of regis
tration all taxes due by him to the
government"
Under this provision there would
have been a much smaller vote this
year than there was cast last Tuesday.
| Possibly the increase in the vote had
something to do with the fact that the
change in the law has become more
generally known. There are large
sums due in poll taxes for last year,
and this years tax promises to be larg-
er
''The lists for this year have not been
made up yet" said Tax Collector
Pratt 80 that the figures are not av-
ailable, but L am convinced that the
O'''-t"~'NS WIN NC larger lndH ever.
Without the law that was enforced un-
der the Republic we have great difficul-
ty in collecting the taxes, but we have
Sun the right to bring actions in the
courts and secure summary executions.
This we have done in number of cas-
es' The result is always prompt pay
ment, with added COSTS but IL entails
much work and expense to the govern
lnent. Under the Hawaiian law we had
the power to imprisOn those who refus-
ed to pay their poll taxes, as well as to
prevent them from registering as vot-
ers."
Governor Dole's recommendation. IN
the Interior Department. is as follows:
That the payment of taxes for the
year previous to a regular election for
delegate to Congress and senators and
representatives of the local legislature.
ana before the end of such year, be
made a prerequisite to registra tion for
voting at such election, except as to
such taxes as may be in litigation"
There is some question among law
yers as to the legality of the PROMISED
law under the American constitution.
Ihe provision was stricken out with
the general repeal of the constitution
OF hawaii, by the Organic Act, and did
not therefore come before Congress If
was part of the constitution and not
of the laws of Hawaii.

MONEY TO WIFE.
Allowed BY
COURT
HUSBAND HAS MADE OVER PROP
ERTY IN TRUST FOR HIS SON
JUDGE GEAR ORDERS ALLOW
ANCE AND LAWYERS FEES.

The suit of Mrs. e. P. Dole against
her husband the attorney general, for
separate maintenance, was heard this
morning by Judge Gear. The judge
made an order directing Dole to pay
$3.50 at once for maintenance since the
suit began, a counsel fee of $3.50 and $3.50
a month alimony until the end of the
suit. The order for the payment of the
first $3.50 and the counsel fee was at
first made peremptory, but two days
were finally allowed in order that coun-
sci for Dole may have an opportunity
to present authorities on the question
of staying the order by an appeal.
Mrs. Dole was present during the
hearing, with her attorneys, A. S. Hum
phreys and e. NJ Watson. She testi-
fled in vigorous tones and once it was
necessary for the court to admonish her
not to interrupt the proceedings. This
was when Dole testified that he had
given her half his income up to the
time when the trouble began. Mrs.
Dole burst forth with an emphatic de-
nial, but her attorneys and the court
suppressed her anger.
Dole testified that he had given away
all his property. He had turned over
about $1,000 worth of stocks and other
property to C D. Chase, for the benefit
of his son, in Boston. 81 have nothing

a question.

mo. 1t was absolute gift. My prop
erty was given to Chase mostly, for the
benefit of my son."
In answer to a question Dole said
that the son was about 20 years old.
He made a voluntary statement regard
ing the property, to the effect that the
gift had been absolute, voluntary and
without any strings. at was my own

gan he saved the surplus over his
salary, but that he had ceased to do so
now. "I have nothing to live for now
except my friends" he added.
1T appeared that Dole had notes of
Auditor Austin for $500 and had re-
turned them to Austin, regarding them
as worthless. They were given in part
payment for some Highland Realty
stock, which Austin bought for $1,000.

ACCUSE
THEIR CAPTAIN
CREW SAYS SCHOONER WAS UN-
JUSTLY ABANDONED OFF JAPAN
A MENACE TO NAVIGATION.

SAN FRANCISCO November l.
Captain John Hansen, who abandoned
the schooner Otelie Peterson off the
coast of Japan, is accused by his men
of having deserted the vessel without
Just cause. The crew of the schooner
arrived here yesterday on the transport
Sheridan. Captain Hansen remained
al Nagasaki. Both First Mate j. Shell
drup and Second Mate X. c. Barmann
state that Captain Hansen left the ves-
sci when she could have been saved
without much difficulty or danger
The Otele Peterson, which is owned
in this city, left Whatcom several
months ago with lumber. In a gale
in the Japan seas she lost her rudder.
Though there was lumber on deck
with which to rig a jury rudder, the
men say Captain Hansen did not at
tempt to do so. The vessel drifted for
five days, and was sighted on October
5th by the gunboat Princeton The
Captain went on board the Princeton,
taking the crew with him, and allowed
the lumber-laden schooner to drift
away a menace to navigation.

and were not paid. I discovered that
Austin was absolutely irresponsible,
and l returned them to him. Yes, l got
the stock back, but by that time it was
just as worthless as the notes"
Dole admitted that since last May he
had not given anything for the support
of his wife. He declared that he had
refused to do so and added "And s,.-I

Neither side went into the reasons for
the separation, and the merits of the
case We're left to be heard when the
trial comes. Mrs. Dole, who was the
first witness called simply said when
asked why she was not living with her
husband HE refused to live with me"
1t appears that she had found a home
with Governor and Mrs. Dole when first
refused support by her husband. She
said that when the governor and his
wife closed their home recently she was
left without place to live. She went
to the Hawaiian hotel and it refused to
take her, though she offered cash in ad-

DECIDES AGAINST
ATTORNEY DOLE
RASCALS SHOULD
BE TURNED OUT
PUBLIC OFFICES

Now that the smoke of the
political battle has cleared, and
men can again think and rea-
son calmly, the matter of the
defalcations in Honolulu should
be thoroughly sifted, and every
proven rascal, whether haole or
Hawaiian, should be severely
dealt with. A needed object les
son is presented, and the oppor-
tunity should be improved for
the benefit of our future office
holders. Nor should the good
work end in Honolulu. Now is
a good time to make a clean
sweep of all incompetent and
dishonest office holders through
out the Islands with a fearless
hand wherever such are found,
so that we can start off with a
high ideal established for the
guidance of our future public
servants.-Maui News.

OLLTAXES ARE
HARDTOCOLLECT
TO RAISE FUNDS
FOR THE NAVY BY
TAXING SUGAR

YOKOHAMA, Oct. 26.-Some
members of the Seiyukai are
reported to be making inyesti-
cations to raise funds for the
naval increment without hav-
ing recourse to the continuance
of the increased land-tax 1t is
suggested by them to increase
the sugar consumption tax to
about 70 or so per cent. where
as it is about 30 per cent at
present. They consider the ex-
listing tax on sugar rather low
as compared with that on sake
and tobacco. The value of the
annual import of sugar amounts
roughly to 20 million yen and
that of the home product to five
million yen. If the tax is raised
to so or 30 per cent an extra rev.
enue of something like 13 million
yen will be obtained from this
source.

The matter of appointments and re-
movals is the public business for which
the Senators are called together. This
is the Senate's special business, the
House being required to transact other
ordinary business, as we'll as the SEN
ate. The Senators are expected to hold
a short session, removing the public
officials whose troubles are the cause
for the special session, and confirming
the appointments of successors.
The session will probably be held in
the throne room, where the House met
last time, that chamber being at pres
ent unused. For attending the mem
bers get 5000 each, instead of $40O as for
a regular Session. The entire expenses
of the session, it is thought, will not
be over $1,000.
The various candidates for official
positions in the Territorial Govern
ment are at work to secure endorse
ments from the Central Committee.
The committee, it is stated, will en-
dorse a number of applicants for some
of the positions. In cases where more
than one good Republican is out for
a position, the committee will not make
a selection, but will endorse all.
