CrIticises Assessment Methods.

A letter from City Comptroller westberg.
calling the councils attention to an alleged
faulty system OF assessment practiced by
Tax Commissioner Fleming, was read. The
letter follows: <
Your comptroller begs leave to call the
attention of your honorable body to a Gus
tom which prevails in the tax commits

CULLINGS MYSTERY.
Did He Commit Suicide or Was He
MurderedP" is the Question.
CONTINUED INVESTIGATIONS.

No further details of the tragic
death of Jay Cuttings were obtained
today, although the sheriff of Dons
Ana county, New Mexico, Jose Lucero
Is continuing Investigations, says the
Ell Paso News.
After the inquest was held owe
the remains and they had been return
ed to this city, Sheriff Lucero went
again to the scene of the tragedy tc
make another attempt to unravel the
mystery of Cuttings death. He tried
to find the Bisbee engineer. John Bar
low, who stated that Cuttings met
death by a premature explosion of a
dynamite blast. but was not successful
in finding him.
Sheriff Lucero says that there are
several things about the Ease which
trouble him, which he cannot explain.
He states that between the time when
he first saw the body and the time
when he had it disinterred, some one
went to the spot and changed the posi-
ton of a hand, but the body was not
otherwise disturbed.
ihN ohtiAi 10 uutndlktu us u HIS
opinion of the cause of Cuttings
death. He is positive that the man
was murdered, but to satisfy every
one, will continue Investigations fur
Their to see If there was any possibili.
ty by which Cuttings might have met
death by accident.
The theory generally advanced is
that Cuttings was Knocked on the head
by Mexicans. Dick Batter, who made
a trip to the place before the mans
body was disinterred. says that he is
satisfied that the murder was so com
mitted. He says it recalls to his
mind the murder of John Graham in
a similar manner and whose body was
found just on the. opposite side of the
mountain from where Cuttings re-
mains were disinterred yesterday.
A theory, however, which is grow
ing upon Deputy Sheriff Will Ryner-
son, is that of suicide. Several pieces
of the skull have ben recovered and
the broken edges are clean and clear
OF the skull have been recovered and
by an interior explosion and not crush
ed with some heavy instrument as at
first thought. In other words, there
is somewhat of a belief that Cuttings
placed a dynamite cap in his mouth,
attached a fuse to it, lighted the fuse
and his head was blown to pieces.
There are many circumstances to sub
stantiate this theory.
Frank Carr received a telegram this
morning from Norman r. Cuttings. a
brother of the murdered man, stat.
ing that he would arrive in this city
tomorrow morning over the Santa Fe
from Pueblo, Colo, to take charge of
the remains. 1t is not yet certain
whether they will be buried here or
be carried to Pueblo to be buried be.

Spring Exhibition
OF THE
KiIohana Art League

Probably when the Kilohana Art
League was organized by a little group
of artists, some of whom were but tenn
porarily domiciled here, there were
man to predict for II the short life that
was the proverbial fate of every Or
ganization in Honolulu which did not
have a charter from outside. This ia
one of the instances where the prophets
were wrong. That the seventeenth
semi-annual exhibition of the League
is now open proves fairly well that the
institution filled want of civilization
here not prematurely. The ninety-fvd
numbers on the catalogue indicates
large degree Of activity in local art,
while comparison of the general quail
ity of the exhibits with that seen in
art galleries on the Mainland may be
invited without trepidation Although
the works range from high through Or
binary to indifferent, the highest stand
ards attained are represented by much
the greater proportion in numbers, the
ordinarily good next and the least at
tractive dwindling to but slight ar
ray.
D. Howard Hitchcock retains with
out question the premiership and in.
creasing his lead at that. His works
may now be properly recommended as
subjects of study to painters who are
not yet fitted to tread the paths of art
alone. Mr.. Hitchcock's landscapes re-
veal enhanced refinement at each sue
ceeding exhibition. They possess that
subtle character of making themselves
felt by the observer. His meadows

translucent and reflective.

chief exhibits, has nothing more than
vivid reality, but that 1t does have and
Is therefore a most valuable contribu-

how one man could have accomplished
so many works of high quality within
the short space Of six months. In his
