Urged Three Years Ago.

"In December, 1898, Charles D. Walcott,
director Of the United States geological
survey, wrote in part to William NJ Stew
art chairman Of the Senate committee on
mines and mining:
81 believe the mining interests should
have a clearly defined representation in the
organization of the government, and that
either this proposed division a bureau Of
mines should be established. l think that
such a division or bureau would be of de-
cided and practical value to the mining in
terests of the country
This, mind you, in 1898, when our
mineral products were valued at S697 $780,
72O. AS l have already said, the value in
1899 was S976, 500, ,946 and in 1901 passed the
billion-d dollar mark If such a department
were thought desirable in 1885, when our
product was $697, $50, 720, it becomes abso-
lutely necessary in 1902, when we face the
fact that the product of the previous year
was over $1,000, 100000.

WHOSE FAULT IS FTP

The world is full Of disease and
pain. Whose fault is itY Every
body's; therefore often the fault
Of the sufferers themselves. But
the pressing question is,-what to
do, how to relieve, how TO cure.
What would become Of us il
means were not found to destroy
disease? Why, then, Of course,
disease-would destroy us and the
world would be depopulated. I'm
til we learn how to prevent dis
ease, we must be thankful for the
means of dbdtiag and curing it
after it has seized upon us, and
stands, like a savage with uplifted
axe, ready to take our lives. Es-
pecially do we need some sure
and speedy form Of treatment
for those complaints which are
universal, which arise in every
country and climate. We allude
to such ailments as Nervous and
General Debility, Hysteria, Scro-
fula, Chronic DiarrhGa, Asthma,
Throat and Lung Complaints,
Blood Impurities, and the ills of
women and children. For these

NEW SYSTEM
OF AUDITING
WHOLESALE LOOTING WILL RE-
SUIT IN THOROUGH INsPEC-
TIONs OF PUBLIC ACCOUNTS.

\ new system of auditing will be one
of the results of the several recent de-
falcations of government officials, and
the Audit Act of 1898 will be put in
practical effect as it has not been up
to this time.
According to the results of investiga-
tons on the island Of Kauai and in 9TH
er places, the Audit Act has been prac-
tically a dead letter. No such thing as
the examining of the accounts of Off
Gals handling money in the outside
districts has been known. Deputy AS
SCISSOR w. A. Wright, of Kauai, is de-
clared to have simply pOCketed the
S2,SoO he was short, without any pre-
cautions to avoid detection. The meth
Cd was to an extent similar to that
discovered to be in operation in the
Honolulu tax office, where two clerks
were found to be using blank tax re-
ceipts to collect money on their own ac-
count. In Honolulu, as a means OF
avoiding detection, the embezzlers
used stub books that were not likely to
be called for, while on Kauai no such
precaution was taken.
The Audit Act requires that the Au-
ditor shall make thorough inspections
of public accounts. 1t gives the Audi
tor power to establish a thorough sys-
tenn of public accounting and Ito en-
force the same" For this purpose the
Auditor is given authority to summon
and swear as witnesses government
employees whom he may desire to ques-
ton, and he is given complete authori-
ty to approve or disapprove any ac-
count or expenditure, provision being
made for appeal to the Supreme JUS
tees.
1t is also provided in the act thai
any official who shall fail to respond
to summons of the Auditor, for ex-
animation, or who shall fail to produce.
any books called for by the Auditor,
shall be liable to fine, and anyone tes-
tifying falsely before the Auditor shall
be punished as FOR perjury.
The new Auditor to be appointed will
be expected to enforce all the very
strict rules of this act, which contains
a great amount of detailed instructions
for a system of checking accounts.
This will be a new thing especially in
the outside districts, where the audit
ing or checking of public accounts, eX-
cept for the annual settlements, will
be a new thing.

THE HAMOA LEASES

Attorney General Dole today gave an
opinion to land Commissioner Boyd in
the matter of an application for the
cancellation of the Hamoa Plantation
leases. Hamoa recently went out of
business and an application to cancel
the leases was made, but Dole holds
that the cancellation cannot be allowed
The opinion says:
Referring to your inquiry, whether
you have lawful authority as Commits
sioner of Public Lands to cancel the
leases of the Hamoa Plantation Com
pany, at the request of it's agents, c..
Brewer & Co., Ltd, | fell compelled to
say that you have not.
This Government, and the Republic,
and the monarchy, leased ten of thou
sands of acres of land at rentals which
are now far below their annual value.
1t would be an extraordinary position
If the government should claim that it
had the right to cancel these leases
and repudiate it's contracts because, as
the years have gone by, land values
have increased. The same principle ap-
plies in this instance, where the rental
agreed upon exceeds the present annual
value of the land. The Office which you
hold in trust for the public does not,
think, include the power to cancel
without consideration, a contract plain
ly for the benefit of the public"

MUST ACT
TREASURER WRIGHT LEAVES e.
e. CONANT IN A HOLE-wALTER
WRIGHT ARRESTED AND IN JAIL

A nice legal question has arisen as to
whether Il. T.. Conant Deputy Assessor
for Kauai or the territory will lose the
$500 of tax collections which Conant
sent to Treasurer Wright, and which
the latter never accounted for to the
treasury department though he
acknowledged the receipt of IT to CO.
nant. The audit act provides that
whenever a public accountant pays
money into the treasury, there shall be
issued two receipts for IT, one marked
original and the other marked dupli-
cate. Both these must be presented to
the auditor who keeps and files the
duplicate and marks on the original the
date It was presented to him. The law
then provides that the territory shall
not be held to have received any money
from a public accountant for which
these duplicate receipts have not been
issued and filed.
This was not done in the case Of this
particular payment to treasurer Wright
of $500, or at least the two receipts have
not been filed with the auditor, nor
was the usual announcement of remit
lance sent to the auditor. Under these
circumstances 1t is held that a strict
construction of the law would hold Co
nant responsible for the loss of this, and
it will take an act of the legislature to
relieve Conant from the loss and to en-
able the treasury to make the proper
entry on the books to square it.
Walter A. Wright, brother of Treas
urer Wright and late deputy tax coll
lector at Waimea Kauai, is a prisoner
in Oahu Jail held for trial in the cir
cult court on a charge of embezzling
about 5000, public funds collected by
him and not accounted for.
Wright was arrested at the instance
of the Attorney General who sent De-
putty Attorney General Douthitt over
to Kauai early last week to look after
the matter. In company with Deputy
| Sheriff Coney, Douthitt had an inter-
view with Wright in which the latter
acknowledged his shortage. On his and
the testimony of Deputy Assessor Co.
nant, Wright was held by the district
court for trial and his bond was fixed at
$4,000.
Wright was brought to Honolulu on
the steamer w. G. Hall arriving early
| Sunday morning. Wright was for a
long time employed by Hofgaard &
| Company. He has been deputy sheriff
and deputy assessor at Waimea, though
! he has not been connected with the
sheriff. office for some time.
Wright's shortage was known to his
| brother Treasurer Wright some time
| ago, and the latter had agreed with the
bondsmen to make the shortage good
| but entirely failed to.

SUMNER WAS A
WARY WITNESS
FIRST HE WAS NOT SURE THAT
HE HAD SIGNED THE RAILROAD
LEASE-CASE GOES OVER.

John K. Sumner was called to the
witness stand this morning by Attor-
ney Magoon, who represents the in
terests which are seeking to show that
Sumner is incompetent. Sumner was
made a witness with a view to show
ing by his own testimony that he did
not understand the various proceed
ings in connection with the efforts of
the Oahu Railroad and Land Company
to purchase his harbor lands for 500, 900
according to the terms of the lease he
gave the company.
Sumner said that he knew that a suit
had been brought against him by his
sister and her husband. He was shown
a copy of the disputed lease and asked
If he had signed 1t The old man APP
peared to be wary, for he first answer
ed that he didn't know whether he
had signed it or not, nor did he know
the contents. The document was read
to him in English and Hawaiian and
then he said that he had signed it. and
remembered all about it, Its a deed"
he stated, in answer to a question from
Magoon Afterwards he said that It
was lease, conveying the property to
the Oahu Railway Company for nine
ty-nine years, for 500 900. When ask
how much he got per year for the land
he said IS, 800. Magoon wanted him to
do some figuring and explain his ans
wers, but Highton objected on the
ground that the witness ability as a
mathematician was not an issue in the
case, and Judge de Bolt sustained the
objection.
De Bolt INSTRUCTED counsel who I'M
derstood the Hawaiian language to
assume for the purpose of the case,
that they did not understand 1t. 1t
appeared that MagOon had stood some
remarks of the witness, while Highton
and Thompson had not, and Magoon
called for an Interpretation.
The case was adjourned at noon to
tomorrow morning, as De Bolt will be
occupied in the Supreme court this af-

BOATS UPSET.
High Swell At Lahaina Throw Pas
sengers In Water.

WAILUKU, October 4.-The swell
which came rolling into Lahaina har-
Dor on Tuesday evening was so strong
that two or three boats plying between
the steamers Mauna Loa and Claudine
and the wharf were upset scattering
people and bales of goods in reckless
confusion.
The Mauna Loa was already al an
Choir when the Claudine came in. The
shore boat made for the Claudine inn
mediately upon her arrival, and took
on board load OF Chinese and Japan
csc passengers, and also A. A. Bray
mer. The boat had not been gone long
when shrieks and screams were heard,
and the Mauna Loa at once turned on
her searchlight, revealing the upset
boat and one also from the Mauna
Loa, which had already gone to the
rescue. The other boats at once flock
ed to the scene. and it is believed that
all OF the passengers in the shore boat
were rescued, although one Chnaman
and one Japanese met a close call
Mr.. Braymer, who was on the shore
boat, swan ashore, some two hundred
yards distant. Two natives swan out
to the buoy and chung to it till rescued
by boat from the Mauna Loa. Had
it not been for the searchlight on the
Mauna Loa, some loss of life must
have ensued.

THE GARNIsHEE LAW.

Another appeal mas been taken from
ruling of District Magistrate Dickey
sustaining a garnishee in spite of the
law passed by the last Legislature ex-
emptng wages from execution. Dickey
held the nter-Island Steamship Com
pany as garnishee in the suit of y. NJ.
Marshall VS.. Mike Harvey on the
ground that the debt sued on was az
crued before the exemption law was
passed.
The steamship company was named
as garnishee in the sum of 500 due Har-
vey as wages. Judge Dickev denied Il
motion to dismiss the case against the
company, on the ground that the law
passed by the last legislature exempted
wages to the extent of $50. He declar-
ed that as the debt in question had been
contracted before the law passed, the
wages We're not exempt
In a former case against Wilders
steamship Company, United States
Jugde Estee interfered in behalf of a
seaman. He held that both the terri
torial exemption law. and the federal
statutes specially protecting seamen,
made the garnishee void. AS a result
of the decision the company had to pay
$50 wages twice, having paid it once
to the garnishOr under Dickey's order
The case now taken up goes into the
Circuit court, and tests the new ex-
emption law on a new point.
