THE FOURTH Meeting
PORTUGUESE CLUB OVERTURE
CONSIDERED.
A Substitute Resolution Was Brought
In and the Whole Matter Goes over
Until Tomorrow.

A meeting of the Fourth District ex-
ecutive committee was held this noon
hour, extending until half past one, in
the assembly room of Castle d Cooke.
Twenty members were present,
with }. +. Cooke in the chair and Will
liam Savidge as secretary. The ques-
tion of accepting the overtures of the
Portuguese Club was the main object
of the meeting, which after considera-
Bile objection offered by some of the
committee was with an accepting reso-
luton, adjourned until II o'clock to-
morrow.
Representative Jonah Kumalae was
made general interpreter for the meet
ing. A motion was first made by Paul
Isenberg that one representative of the
Portuguese Club be allowed to run on
the regular Republican ticket of the
Fourth district, providing that the Por-
tuguese Club comes out as a strictly
Republican Club and endorses the Re
publican ticket.
Discussion followed as to the advis-
ability of this motion passing the COM
mittee, many claiming that the Portu-
guese or any nationality should, if they
wished to become Republicans. come
into the Republican party by the reg
ular channels and not form an indie
pOllu0hlly par ~ lbOhlllB " TIE nlSneSI
bidder. Others favored the taking in
of any nationality whatever their
method of approach as long as they
showed themselves invested with Re
publican principles and ready to en-
dorse the ticket Votes were needed at
the present time.
G. A. McClelland then offered the fol-
lowing amended resolution which was
seconded by Paul lsenberg, and result
ed, after much discussion in an ad-
journment to II o'clock noon tomorrow.
humalae wanted to defer action on the
resolution. 1t will be again presented
tomorrow:
Resolved, That it is the sense Of the
Fourth District Committee that pro-
portiOnal representation be given to all
nationalities as they are registered as
American citizens and voters. And
that the committee viii welcome an op-
portunity to give representation on the
legislative ticket to any Portuguese
Republican Club showing a sufficient
membership Of American citizens
pledged as regular Republicans.

tificate that had been given him after
it had been stolen, and Pratt at once
smelled rat and began Investigations.
The state of affairs was soon revealed,
and a search for evidence began.
The tax collector stated this morning
that it was impossible to say what was
the total sum that had been collected
and embezzled. The total may be thou
sands of dollars, during the several
years while the System" has been
quietly worked. The possible total
would be very large, but it is impos-
sible to make Investigations beyond a
year back.
THE possible amount we have
found said Tax Collector Pratt, us
from d thousand to twelve hundred
dollars. It is impoSsib BILE to make COM
plete investigation into such a propo-
sition. The matter is in the hands Of
the Attorney General"
Alexander D. Thompson and Joseph
Woodward, former employees Of the tax
office who are accused OF thefts in five
indictments, containing in all twelve
counts, both pleaded not guilty this
morning before Judge Gear. Woodward
has secured bail, but Thompson is in
custody The judge recited to them the
various counts in the indictments, and
to each they entered pleas of not
guilty.
The law as to embezzlement of gov
ernment funds is much more severe
than as to ordinary embezzlement. 1t
declares that any government employe
who is guilty of embezzlement of mon
ey or other property belonging to the
government shall be punished by inn
prisonment at hard labor for life or
any number of years, or by fine not ex-
ceeding five times the value of the
thing or property embezzled."
The money stolen from the tax office
will probably be loss to the govern
ment as they were issued by parties
having authority to issue them. If this
view is correct, the taxes paid to the
alleged embezzlers need not be paid
again.

MCCuIIy Tract Sold To-Day

The McCully tract, containing 14S
acres, was sold under the hammer at
noon today by viii E. Fisher. 1t
brought $66OOO, only one bid being
made. The foreclosure proceedings
under which the sale was held were
for $137 900, but it is understood that
all of the money owing to Mrs. McCul-
ly Higgins and the Queens Hospital
will be paid. The bidder was Oscar
White, for the McCully Land Com
pany, which assumes debts amounting
with the purchase price to $126000, the
real price paid for the land, it is stated.
There was a large crowd of local fl
nanciers and attorneys present when
the sale began. Fisher read the de-
cree of Judge Humphreys ordering the
sale, and then offered the property

McChesney, and was trying to take an
appeal from the decree ordering the

S, NJ, DAMON BUYS
A NEWSPAPER

By an instrument just filed with
Registrar Thrum, the Bulletin Publish
ing Company assigns it's type, presses,
office fixtures, etc, to Bishop & Com
pany, as additional security for the sum
of $2,750 due on a note made in Janu-
ary 1898. The document sets forth that
the newspaper owes the sum of 81, $50
to the bankers, and in consideration of
the latter having agreed not to fore
close before November /, 1902, the Bull
letin puts up as additional security for
the cash, one type-setting machine, two
makeup tables, six batteries, 5000
pounds of type, 3S galleys, $500 worth
of paper and supplies, one bookkeeper's s
desk, two roll top desks, one typewriter
desk, one typewriter. one fat top desk
four reporters tables, and a large
number of other pieces of Office fur
niture, printing material etc, set forth
at length. The assignment is signed
by W. r. Harrington and A. V. Gear,
president and secretary of the Bulletin
Company

ject to his appeal. This appeal was
disallowed by Judge Humphreys, who
declared that McChesney had no stand
ing in the case.
Oscar White made the only bid. His
offer of $66,OOO stopped all other pos
sible bidders. There were several men
present who were ready to buy the
land il it went cheap, but none wanted
to go this limit. The Waikiki Land &c
Loan Association was represented by
George Paris, but did not make any
bid, and it probably passes out of ex-
istence with the completion of todays
business. The company has been a
heavy loser by it's purchase of the
lands.
The McCully Land Company is a cor
poration recently organized, in which
several men of large local interests are
associated. The company will carry
on the project started by the Waikiki
Land & Loan Association, and will put
the McCully lands on sale.

THE SYSTEM ALMOST
DEFIED DETECTION

The tax office peculatiOns which
have been under investigation by the
grand jury are said to have been going
on for years, and the total sum taken
is probably quite large judging by the
facts that have been unearthed. There
is reason to believe that under the ad-
ministration of Tax Assessor Shaw, the
same system of private collections was
inaugurated and it might have gone
on for years. but for the careful in
vestigation recently made. The pos
sible penalty for embezzlement of this
kind is hard labor for life.
The system was one which almost
defied detection, and might be natural
ly expected to work successfully indef-
initely. Blank personal tax receipts
were made use of, and those in the
scheme were careful to use only blanks
that were extremely unlikely to be
wanted in the regular course of busi-
ness.
The blanks were printed, bound and
numbered by the collector, and every
year several more books were purchas-
ed than were used, the collector al
ways desiring to have some blanks on
hand for business. Those in the scheme
to defraud the Territory abstracted the
highest numbered blanks, which were
never reached in the course of busi-
ness, so that their absence was never
known until the present investigation.
With these blanks they made coilec-
tions, and they divided the money, ac-
cording to the belief of the grand jury.
A large number of blanks are missing
and in one case two whole books, con-
taining receipts for personal taxes
amounting to $1,000 have disappeared.
Whether all these blanks were fraudu-
lently used may never be known.
The only possible risk in the scheme
was that one of the regular collectors
of the department should approach a
man who have been given a stolen re-
ceipt and, on demanding taxes, be met
with the statement that the taxes had
been paid. This is exactly what finally
happened. A Chinese displayed a GER

KILAUEA HAS
BROKEN OUT

Kilauea has broken out again, ac-
cording to a wireless message received
today from f. L. Waldron, manager of
the Volcano House. The message was
addressed to c. L. Wight, President of
the Wilder Steamship Company, and
contains the following:
active lake formed at Halemaumau
400 feet diameter"
The wording Of the dispatch leaves
much open to speculation. Waldrons s
wording indicates that it Is an entirely
new lake that has appeared, which
would mean very considerable show
ing of volcanic action. During the past
few months there have been many re-
ports Of activity at Kilauea, but the
volcano has kept fairly quiet. Further
news of the new "active lake" will be
awaited with great interest.
Halemaumau is the small active cra-
ter inside the larger one at Kilauea.
WaldrOn's dispatch does not indicate
very clearly whether he meant to con-
vey the impression that another lake
has formed alongside of Halemaumau.

THE OLD HOLT WILL.
COMES UP IN
PHASE
ATTORNEYS WILL TRY TO PROVE
THAT THE PROCEEDINGS OF
FORTY YEARS AGO WERE NOT
ACCORDING TO FORM.

A motion was filed in the Circuit
Court this morning by G. w. Ashford
to amend the petition for revocation Of
the will of Robert William Holt, by
adding to it a paragraph which attacks
the jurisdiction of the Hawaiian Su-
preme Court of 1862, by which Holts
will was probated. The new paragraph
says:
That your petitioners are advised
and believe, and on such advise and be-
lief they allege, said Supreme Court
did not either at the time of the fling
Of said petition mentioned in the para
graph numbered q of this Petition,
gain or obtain jurisdiction and right
or authority to proceed to a judgment,
order or decree admitting or purport-
ing to admit the said alleged will and
testament or said alleged last will and
testament or said alleged codicil there
to, or any or either of them, to pro-
bate land that the order and decree Of
said Supreme Court, as aforesaid, ad-
mitting or purporting to admit said in
struments to probate as and for such
last will and testament was and we're
made without said Court having ac-
quired jurisdiction of the subject mat
ters of said proceeding, and was and
were of no effect in law, and that the
same is and are now void and OF no
effect, and should be so adjudged by
this Honorable Court"
1t is said that the attorneys propose
to prove that the proceedings of forty
years ago were not according to form,
that the usual notices Of hearings were
not given, and that the will was filed
and prObated without compliance with
several legal forms claimed to be nee
essary to give the court authority to
probate the will.
Judge Gear this morning called a
number of jury-waived cases which
had been set for hearing. They were
postponed, and the court took a recess
until o'clock this afternoon, by which
time, it was stated, the grand jury
would be ready to make a final report.
The case of Hasson against Pain will
continue to occupy Judge Gear, and is
likely to last all the rest of this week.

SLAUGHTERED THE GOATS.
Natives Objected To Wandering Billies
And Killed Them.


There is no such thing as the Sleeps
and the goats in the eyes of the Por-
tuguese who live mauka of Punchbowl
Several natives however took an en-
tirely different view and they proceed
ed yesterday to slaughter a couple Of
scape goats. 1t appears that a couple
of goats owned by some Portuguese
have been allowed to run at large back
in the valley behind Punchbowl. The
Portuguese did not apparently object
to them, but couple of natives did.
The natives captured the goats and
slaughtered them.
The Portuguese reported the matter
to the High Sheriff yesterday and Off
Ger Duncan was sent to investigate.
He discovered the carcasses of the
goats hanging in the hut Of the ma
tives. The goats had been killed and
dressed, the same as If they had been
sheep. Evidently the natives had been
frightened, for when Duncan reached
the scene of the slaughter, he found
the men had decamped. The place was
surrounded by gestilating, jabbering
Portuguese who loudly declaimed
against the enforced demise of the
goats. There was no one to arrest so
officer Duncan returned empty handed
to the police station. There is prob
ably Billy" luau now in progress be-
hind Punchbowl where roast goat and
methelated spirits make up the most
Of the bill OF fare.
