$1,000

The story of this $4,000, and how it
came into BOyd's hands is as follows
When the boom was on in HilO, L. II.
Davies & Company leased certain gov
ernment land in Hilo for a term of
years, one of the conditions of the lease
being that they should erect on it
fire proof building to cost not less than
$12 500. Before the building was erect
ed the bottom dropped out of the Hilo
boom, and there was no demand for
any such building, or at least Davies
& Company believed there was not.
Late last year or early in this year
Davies & Company made an applica-
tion to the government for the cancel
lation OF the lease. Secretary Cooper
says: "The matter first came up be-
fore the Governor and his heads of de-
partments in February of this year and
the decision was against the applica-
ton. 1t came up later again with
some proposition on the part of Davies
& Company to eXpend a certain amount
in the Improvement of streets in Hilo.
My recollection is that the form in
which II was finally executed by the
Superintendent of Public Works was
not approved by the Governors coun-
Gil However, 1 believe the Superin-
tendent of Public Works had authority
to cancel the lease on the terms he did.
| That is a matter of judgment. But
money paid into the government for
public use, should come into the treas
ury as a government realization, or at
| least be held as a special deposit for
the purposes for which it was received.
This $4,000 has not been turned into
the treasury as a government realiza-
ton; nor is it in the treasury as spe-
cial deposit; nor is it in the Public
Works Department as a special depo-
sit There is no record of it except
Boyds receipt given to 7. II. Davies Il
Company for it, and the references to
it in the correspondence between Su-
perintendent Boyd and T. II. Davies q

money and its acceptance. 7. H. Da

TAX COLLECTOR HAD
NO LIEN ON GOODS
JUDGE DE BOLT DECIDES A CASE
FIRST WRITTEN DECISION.

Judge De Bolts first written decision
was handed down this morning. 1t was
in the case of j. f. Humburg VS.. the
High Sheriff. and held that the sheriff
had no right to withhold for taxes due
money that was realized in a public
sale of property under execution.
Brown proposed to turn the money
over to the tax collector, but the court
holds that the latter had no lien on
the goods. The decision says:
"As to the $225O withheld for taxes,
Section S22 of the civil laws provides
that every tax due upon property
shall be lien upon the property as
| sessed.' 1t necessarily follows then
| that such tax is not a lien upon prop
| erty not assessed In the case at bar
there is no evidence that the property
in question, or any part thereof, or
that any property or stock of goods,
which the property in question may
! have replenishcd or replaced, was ever
| assessed or that the statutory lien
ever attached thereto, or that any tax
es are due and unpaid thereon.
In view of the plain language of the
statute, and as applied to the facts in
this case, there seems to be no ncca-
| sion to invoke the rules of cOnstruc-
| tion. However the tax lien owes its
existence wholly to statute and such
statute is to be construed strictly. II
| is deemed unnecessary, in view of the
conclusion reached, to consider other
points involved in this phase of the
case. Therefore l find that the defend
ant a. NJ. Brown, Esq, is Withholding
the said sum of $3.50 from the plain
tifc, John f. Humburg, without author
.ity of law.
LAS to the $50 withheld for guarding
the property IN question. 1t is admit
ted that the.sum withheld was reason
able compensation for the services
rendered. The plaintiff, however
neither admits the necessity of such
guarding. nor the legality of withhold
ing the said sum- but contests both.
The uncontradicted evidence of the
High Sheriff is that such guarding
was necessary, and l so find"
Judge De Bolt further finds that the
charge for guarding was legal. Judg
ment is entered for the plaintiff for the
$22 80 only"

The documents in the case giving the
history of the transaction as they ap-
pear in the files of the Public Works
Department are as follows:
Ist April, 1902. j. II. Boyd, ESQ, Sup
erintendent of Public Works. Dear Sir:
Government leases Nos 522 and 523 to
Theo. II. Davies & Co., Ltd, dated May
49, 1897. One of the conditions of these
leases is that We shall erect fire proof
buildings thereon to the aggregate va
lue of S12, 500; and it is in respect to this
condition that we beg leave to address
you.
At the time these leases We're granted
to us there was no competition for them
so that no one was disappointed or in
jured by our securing the leases, and
from the absence of competition for
them it would seem that had we not
taken them they would not have been
issued at all. Full consideration to
these facts will, We hope, be given, as
our position might be different had we
secured the leases in the face of keen
competition.
Our intention at the time we acquired
these leases was to build on them, not
to speculate with them. The building
conditions of other government leases
held by us have been faithfully COM
piled with and we would have long ago
complied with the conditions of the
leases we now refer to If the state Of
trade in Hilo had justified the erection
of new buildings there No one regrets
the depressed state of trade more than
we do and nothing would be more
| agreeable to us than to feel that in
creased store accommodations in Hilo
was required, but as we have Vainly at
tempted to find tenants for the pro-
posed building and know that If 1t Is
erected 1t will be tenantless and rapidly
deteriorate, We desire to obtain the can
collation. of these leases If the govern
| ment Will agree thereto.
In consideration of these leases being
cancelled we suggest that We be allow
ed to effect repairs to Waianuenue

to King street, or to carry out some
such much needed street repairs or i'm
provements to the extent of three thou.

prefer to deal with such matters them

WILLINVESTIGATETH THE
YANG WEI PIN
CHARGE
BOW WONG CONTINGENT ABOUT
TO REALIZE ON THEIR VARIOUS
KICKs-COLLECTOR sTACKABLE
RECEIVES IMPORTANT LETTER.

1t is not improbable that the present
acting Chinese Consul General at San
Francisco will visit Honolulu for the
purpose of investigating the charges OF
smuggling made against the Old con-
sui, Yang Wei Pin. Recently the Chi
nese Government announced that
special commissioner would be sent to
Honolulu for this purpose. 1t was sup
posed at the time that this news was
published that the commissioner would
come from the home government. Ac-
cOrding to information received this
morning by Collector Stackable, It is
not improbable that the commissioner
will be sent from San Francisco corps
and it will be the man who is now act
ing consul at that place.
Among the letters received by Col
lector Stackable by the mail which
arrived on the S. S. Nevadan from San
Francisco was one from the Treasury
Department notifying him to extend
special courtesies to Chow Yu-kwai,
the acting Chinese Consul General at
San Francisco. The department stated
that it had no information as to the
time or steamer when the Chinese Dip
lomat would arrive at Honolulu. No
intimation was given in the letter as
to the period of time that the Chinese
diplomat was likely to remain in Ho-
nolulu. 1t is thought likely however
that Chow would certainly be a lay
over passenger at this port, for were
such a thing unlikely. it is not prob
able that special pains would have
been taken to have the Treasury De-
partment give such orders.
Evidently Chow is to inquire into
all the various charges brought against
the Consul and after securing the evil
dence, will then proceed to China to
N
clamation of the Chinese Government
announced that the smuggling charges
were the principal reason for dispatch-
ing the special commissioner to Homo
lulu. other matters will it is certain, be
examined into by the commissioner
There has been much strife among the
local Hawaiian colony of Chinese and
as all of these matters demand consid-
Grafton from the Chinese Government,
II is not improbable that every alleged
misconduct of Yang Wei Pin VIII be
heard by the special commissioner.

ATTORNEY WANTS THE
INDICTMENT ~.
g.SNassAs
QUASHED
MOTION MADE ON LEGAL
GROUNDS-CLAIM THAT INDICT-
MENT AGAINST ALLEGED MUIR
DERER is ILLEGAL.

The fight for GisabOro Tanbara's life
was begun in the United States Court
this morning, with a motion by Attor-
ney Frank e. Thompson, to quash the
indictment. The motion is based on q
number of legal grounds. Argument
was begun, but was postponed to this
afternoon by Judge Estee, as a jury
was waiting to try the Sabate case.
The principal grounds on which it is
claimed that the indictment against
the alleged murdered was illegal are
the following:
Heretofore, to wit, on or about the
9th day of August A. d. 1902, said de-
fendant was by F. c. Handy, Deputy
United States Marshal of the Territory
of Hawaii, arrested and taken into
custody, and ever since said 9th day Of
August A. D. 1902, he has been, and
now is, under the care and in the Gus
tOdy of the United States Marshal of
the Territory of Hawaii, and ever since
said last mentioned day, he has been,
and now is, confined in the Oahu pris-
oil, Island of Oahu, Territory of Ha-
wall, and at all times since said last
mentioned day has been and now is,
deprived of his liberty.
THAT he is a citizen of the Empire
Of Japan.
"That he can neither read, write nor
understand the English language, and
is unfamiliar with the customs and
legal proceedings of courts of the Unit
ed States of America.
"That while in said custody as afore-
said, he was not informed of his right
to be represented by and have the ad-
vice of counsel at the empanelling of
the grand jury of the United States, to
which, on the 9th day of August, A. ID.
1902, he was by Edwin S. Gill, United
States Commissioner for the Territory
of Hawaii, bound over, without bail to
appear before, to wit, the grand jury
of the United States of the District
Court of the United States for the Ter
-itory OF Hawaii
THAT at the time of empaneling OF
said grand jury he was III care of and
under the custody of the United States
Marshal for the Territory of Hawaii
and was wholly unrepresented by coun-
sell
THAT the proceedings had at the
empaneling of said grand jury were
conducted in the English language
that by reason of his utter unfamiliar
ity with said language he did not
know, and was not, until after he hac
been arraigned under the indictment
against him found by said grand jury
informed of what had transpired at the
time said grand jury was empanelled.'
Tanbara this afternoon entered 9
plea of not guilty, Judge Estee having
denied the motion to quashthe indict'
ment The case will probably be set fol
trial on Tuesday morning next
