An Alleged Nuisance.

The complaint of several citizens residing
in the western section of the city concern
ing the alleged nuisance caused by the
hauling of garbage tanks from Washington
over the Fayette street track of the Rich
mond, Fredericksburg and Potomac rail-
road has been thoroughly investigated by
the police department. Yesterday after
noon Mayor Simpson was visited by repre-
sentatives of a chemical plant situated on
New Jersey avenue and X street in Wash
ington, from which the waste products are
shipped, who alleged that the stuff was
transported over the streets of Washing
ton from the plant to the Long bridge in
the same tanks used in passing through
Alexandria, and that there had been no
complaint about the traffic in the first
named city.
Commenting on the matter. Mayor Simp-
son said today he believed that an unnec-
essary delay in the passage of the cars
through this city was responsible for the
complaints Instead of passing directly
through the streets the trains, having full
and empty cars. it is stated, stop within
the city limits for the purpose of shifting
the cars about. The whole trouble, Mayor
Simpson thought. could be obviated by an
expeditions handling Of the cars in Alex
andria. He said he would be compelled to
put a stop to the hauling of the matter
through town if the present method We're
persisted in.

Council to Act.

AS the result OIL d coUleIellce last IlSlil pS-
tween several property owners and the men,
bers of the council committees on streets and
finance, respectively, in reference to street
improvements and the manner of making
payments therefor, a meeting of council
will probably be called in the near future
to consider the question at issue. The par
ticular matter under discussion last night
was that relating to the repaving of Alfred
street between King and Queen streets
which was lately completed. The assess
ments to the property owners had been
prepared and presented, and there were
few objections to the amounts required
The principal dlfhculty was IN reference to
the payments.
An ordinance has been passed by the city
council providing for five equal payments,
the first to be at once and the other four to
be paid in four years, the city to be secured
by notes, payable in one, two, three and
four years. 1t was suggested that the plan
the council had outlined might conflict with
some provisions of the new state consttu-
ton and it was thought best, therefore, to
ask for payment in thirty days. This meet
ing with considerable objection, it was de-
cided that the matter was one for the con-
sideration Of the council

was not in the vehicle at the time the

continued:

of the meeting, together with {. H.
Wilson. called the meeting to order. He
vas followed by A. ~. kepoikai, oil
Maui, who spoke in Hawaiian. He urg-
ed the voters to turn out in force and
support Harris and elect him by big
majority. He was the man for the Leg
isIature and not Dreier.
William Aylett, member Of the Legis-
Iature. told how the first Territorial
Legislature made nothing but noise.
He said that every time Kaulia got up
in public II was to say nothing but
XIII the Snake,' The Home Rulers
were a majority in the House and there
we're but six Republicans, a small mi
nority. The Home Rulers took this mi
nority for a snake. but they discovered
not snakes but six strong lions, young
Republicans who stood out strongly
against them.
Kuoha. a former member of the Home
Rule party followed with a stirring adj
dress on why he left 1t. He had lived
in the States, and knew that the Re-
publicans were the people who were in
power and stood for the best kind OF
government. Knowing this. he intend
ed to follow the lead OF the Republican
party In Hawaii, and he asked his
friends to follow him and stand by the
party. ihtAC was hO sum
thing as a Home Rule party in the
United States and for that reason there
should not be one here. He would vote
for Harris today.
w. w. Harris next appeared on the
platform and was greeted with ahearty
welcome. He said that the voters We're
on the eve of an election. and the
thought must have entered the mind of
every citizen, What will 1 do tomor-
ROW." The candidate said each man
must remember he must vote for the
party that represents good government
and just legislation. fractional issues
should not be brought to bear, on this
election and the voters should cast
their ballots for the benefit of the party
as a whole. In accepting the nominal
ton, he accepted the platform, and IL
elected to the Legislature he would use
all the energy and ability he possessed
Ito uphold the platform and work for
good government.
James Simms. Democrat, who Sc
coded when Dreier was foisted upon
the Democratic party as its candidate,
made a brief speech in which he said
he would rather have all voters cast
their ballots for Harris, the Republi-
can nominee, than that they should
vote for Dreier. who was not a Demo-
crat. ineligible for office, and A man
who did not represent the party in any
sense.
John c. Lane made a stirring address.
using the si3 a month payment for the
Bawaiians in Dreier's employ as
against the s12 paid to the Japanese.
Dreier claimed to love the Hawaiians,
but this did not indicate il.
John Mana, also former member of
the Home Rule party. was the last
speaker. He said the Home Rule party
had effected nothing in the Legislature.
i. was not the party OF progress. The
Republican party was progressive and
stood for the best kind OF government.
and that was the party for which he
was going to vote today.

YOUR DUTY TO VOTE.

The meaning of the Harris fight Is
such that every Fourth District Re-
publican and every voting friend OF
good government there owes It to him
self and his principles to cast a ballot
for the Republican legislative nominee.
Today the enemies OF Governor Dole
win gather to assail his Honolulu
stronghold. certainly from without.
possibly from within. They comprise
the Home Rulers who want to get such
control Of the Legislature. through the
acquisition OF one seat. as to enable
them to pass their plumber bills over
the Governors veto: the Democrats
who wish to stir trouble; and. as
is charged. the radical wing of the old
sewaii party whose purpose Is to knife
Mr. Harris and then point to the re-
suit a. evidence of the Governors po-
iitical weakness.
The duty or honest Republicans. and
indeed of the friends OF Mr.. Dole in all
parties. Is TO get out and vote their
principles. The Fourth District with
It's great conservative. law-abiding
population, can elect Harris and pro-
tect the Governor IL II Will. There are
voters enough who believe in what
both these men stand for TO repel all
assault and check all treachery. WILL
THEY COME OUT? That Is the ques-
ton. Up to a day or two ago they
were inclined to think that this cleo
ton would not be worth their while.
Most OF them had opposed 1t as a
waste OF time and money: they could
see no good In winning II and no harm
in losing It. But the aspect OF things
was changed in a moment by the let
ter of the Advertisers correspondent
'.vindex" This put the issue in such
way as to demand that every friend
OF good government in the Fourth Dis
trict should do his duty at the polls.
The hour Is now at hand. Is the voter
ready.
We know II is a busy day but a fight
for good government is a paramount
duty on any day. 1t will never do to
let Hr. Harris be beaten now. Too
much IL at stake. True, Mr.. Dreier is
in no sense a bad man. He Is a friend
Of the planting element and would. be-
fore doing anything for city and coun-

tive taxpayers with whose large inter
ests his own are merged. But il he
should be chosen on a Home Rule plat
