AND SAILORS
WILL NOW WORK
TOGETHER
BOTH ORGANIZATIONS ARE IN
PERFECT HARMONY FOR THE
SEPTEMBER REGATTA-COURSE
OF YACHT RACE LAID OUT.

Everything was amicably arranged at
the meeting of the Hawaii Yacht Club
yesterday afternoon and that organiza-
ton will work in perfect harmony with
the oarsmen for September 20 besides
rearranging their course with a spe-
cial view to making the yacht races of
spectacular interest to the onlookers.
Mr.. Taylor was present and explained
that the so called regatta committee
was a committee of the rowing assU-
citation and consequently could not elect
a member of the yacht club as MEM
ber of it own organization. 1t was
however anxious to cooperate with the
yacht club in soliciting subscriptions
and arranging with the yacht club for
proper making out of the program and
sharing of the prize lists and asked the
yachtsmen to name their representa-
tive.
Allan Dunn was appointed by the
yachtsmen to represent them on the
committee of the rowing association
and also to aid that body in soliciting
subscriptions. The meeting of the club
while having many prominent members
present lacked a few of the requisite
shares to make the many suggestions
resolutions but it was understood that
they would all be confirmed later.
The regular course has been cut in
half and the yachts will sail over the
course twice making a twenty mile
stretch in all. This has not been exact
ly laid out but will approximately run
! between stake boat off Moanalua, and
| Waikiki. The craft will thus be in
sight all the time The finish will take
place in the harbor and as each yacht
| crosses the line a member of the crew
will fall over the counter and tread
water until picked up again by his
craft which will have to bout ship"
This spectacular finish is for the public
| merriment and does not effect the race.
A special prize will be given to the boat
rescuing in the fastest time The
! third class races will count on the Port
| Captains cup.
The Cummins will act as steamer for
the yachtsmen and they will have their
! own judge aboard. The committee will
! probably determine that admittance to
| the steamer will be by ticket only. The
yachts will be provided with large
numbers to be sewn prominently tC
every mainsail These will correspond
| with the program and the spectators
| can keep tab of the races and their
favorites. The different classes will
! start fifteen minutes apart which
| should it is calculated provide half. an
| hours constant procession of boats at
the finish. The yachtsmens regatta
committee will split the third class into
! two before the regatta and thus pro-
vide new fifth class and equalize
matters. Fred Whitney announced his
intention of competing in the Rabbit
| Island race Mr.. Hatch, who was pre-
sent, stated that his yacht was out OF
commission and he could not race. He
will however likely sail in the Helene
! The Hawaii and Dewey will be given
time allowance as an inducement tC
enter. All men at the wheel in this
race must be club members. %.

AN EARLY MORNING FIRE IN
KAKAARO DISTRICT-SUSPI
GUS CIRCUMSTANCES CONNECT

Fire broke out shortly after two
o'clock this morning in a building used

eral circumstances surrounding the fire
have been considered suspicious by I'm

This morning at a few minutes after
2 the building caught / fire and
flames soon enveloped it. The fire en-

paralyzed in their efforts by the lack of
water in convenient propinquty. 1t
was many minutes before water could
be carried down from Queen street and
the chemical engine was the only one
available.
The building blazed furiously and the
adjoining buildings caught fire. These

TO FLUSH
KING STREET
SEWER
THE SYSTEM is DOING ALL THAT
WAS CLAIMED BY ENGINEERS
AND USING SMALL PIPES WAS
NOT A MISTAKE.

The Department Of Public Works is
preparing to put in a flushing appara-
tus, to more effectually flush the King
street sewers. This is the only part of
the new sewer system of Honolulu
which has not worked satisfactorily,
and little more flushing is expected
to make 1t all right.
After months of use," said Assistant
Superintendent Campbell, 1T can be
stated that the new sewer system Is a
great success, and that the predictions
of trouble on account Of the smallness
of the pipes were not well grounded.
The sewers are being used now by
about 10000 people. There is no tou-
BILE, and the capacity of the system has
not nearly been reached.
A watch is being kept at the pump
ing station, with view to asCertaining
what the flow amounts to. We find
that there is a flow of about IL inches
in the main pipe, which is thirty-slX
inches in diameter"
When the system was designed by
engineers, and was first installed many
people predicted trouble with it on ac-
count of the smallness of the pipes. 1t
was feared that they would clog up,
but those who favored the system as
designed said that smaller pipes were
better, as there would be a quick flow
through them, while a slow draining
/ through large pipes would result in
| sewerage stopping en- route and vege-
/ tatiOn growing in the pipes, clogging
\ up and finally destroying the sewers.
THE results so far have borne out
! the contentious of the engineers" says
! Campbell. 1.-THE system here is accord
| ing to the latest plans" said the assist
ant superintendent, land is that which
| the largest cities in he world are adopt
| ing. The old plan was to have storm
sewers and others all in one. That
system requires very large pipes to car
ry off extra rain water at times of
heavy downfall. When there is little
/ rainfall, the big pipes are empty, and
everything moves slowly, vegetation
accumulates and there is great expense
| cleaning out sewers. Our plan is to
have special storm sewers for rain wa
4 ter"
rhe Honolulu system was planned
for a city of 100000. 1t is not used by
half the people here now, as there is
no law compelling property owners tc
make connections. Such law was
proposed in the last legislature, but
was not acted upon. The next legisla-
ture may pass an act which will re-
quire property owners generally tC
abandon the use of cesspools and con-
meet their places with the sewers.

WANTS THE
LITTLE MATTER
OF A FEE
ATTORNEY CLAIMS PROTECTION
OF COURT AND WANTS HIS
MONEY-AN EFFORT TO MAh r
MAGOON SETTLE CLAIM.

T. McCants Stewart returned to the
attack this morning in the matter of
his effort to force Magoon to pay him
a fee of $3.50, as counsel for T. b. Cum
mings in the matter of the estate of
William H. Cummings. He filed an af-
fidaVit, setting forth that he had been
employed by Cummings as attorney,
but had refused to advance him mon
ey, "even upon his offer to allow depo-
nent to take on-half of whatever sum
of money said Cummings should re-
ceive herein" According to Stewart
Cummings then took the case away,
and later he returned with j. H. Cum
mings and George Markham, and the
three heirs said they had settled mat
ters. A fee of $3.50 was agreed upon
for Stewart The affidavit says:
That some time in the month of Oc
tober, 1901, this deponent met said
Cummings near the telephone building
and opposite to the office of j. A. Ma
goon, Esq, that said Cummings then
and there admitted the agreements to
pay deponents $3.50, and said that al
though said Magoon had obtained an
order of court securing him over $500,
the matter was not settled, and he was
hard up; that depOnent was thereupOn
replied that if the money was paid i'm
, mediatelY he would take 800; that this
! was satisfactory to said Cummings,
and he then and there accompanied
this deponent to the office of said j. A.
MagoOn, Esq, to get the money.
THAT said Magoon was out, but Mr..
F. Wundenberg said that he was in
charge of the matter, whereupOn Cum
mings admitted his agreement to pay
depOnent $3.50, and his desire to get 500
to pay the debt as aforesaid; that
thereupon said Wundenberg declared
to the best of deponent's recollection
at the present time, that there was no
money coming to said Cummings.
'"Dhat this deponent met said Wun-
denberg on the streets on the 4th day
of September, 1902, and reminded him
of the admission made by Cummings
as aforesaid and informed him that ht
would be called as "a witness if neCes-
sary, whereupon said Wundenberg did
not deny that the admission was made
but said, We'll, he (meaning Cum
mings) would admit anything"
Stewart claims the protection of the
court to get his fee and Gear is to de-
eide next week whether he has power
sitting in probate, to order Magoon t
pay 1t. -.

MAY QUESTION THE
CONDUCT OF
JURORS
1T IS CLAIMED THAT LIQUOR
WAS ALLOWED IN THE JURY
ROOM WHILE CASE WAS BEING
HEARD-FERRIS CONVICTED.

The fact, if it is a fact, that the tur-
ors in the Ferris marder trial were al
lowed to have liquor in the jury room
while the case was pending, may save
the defendant Ferris from hanging.
The jury returned a verdict of guilty
shortly after midnight last night, and
the statute gives the judge no alter
native, but to sentence the prisoner to
be hanged. A motion to set aside the
verdict will be made, however.
1t is said that some of the jurors had
liquid refreshments with them when
they went into the jury room, and that
on the first night when they were quar-
tered in the judiciary building some of
it was disposed of. In other iurisidc-
tions this has been held to be sufficient
to set aside a verdict. 1t is said by
some attorneys that a mere showing
that jurors were allowed to have claret
at dinner had in some cases suhiced to
render a verdict null and void. There
is no statute on the subject here.
Ferris defense was very brief. He
produced one witness who stated that
he had seen Watson and Ferris have
trouble on an occasion previous to the
stabbing. Then the defendant took the
stand. He admitted killing Watson,
but said he did it in self defense. Wat
son was known as a dangerous man,
said Ferris, and during the quarrel
Watson grabbed the defendants shirt
and appeared to be about to draw a
weapon. Then Ferris stabbed him.
After brief argument by Attorneys
Reynolds and Peters and Deputy At
torney General Cathcart, the case was
submitted, at about 10:S0. A verdict
was reached in two hours, after the
jurors had come into court once and
a
Tommy" Lucas acted as foreman.
Judge Gear ordered the defendant
brought for sentence next Thursday
The law provides that there shall be
As hours between a conviction of MUIR
der and the sentence, and IA days be-
tween the date of sentence and the date
of the execution.

MAGOON BLOCK
FIRE INQUIRY

Still another fire jury will be called
to serve by the High Sheriff on suspi
cion of incendiarism, and to day, as
has been the case for the past two
weeks Sheriff A. NJ. Brown has two
fire juries on hand at the same time.
This morning in connection with the
fire in the Magoon block on Thursday
morning. almost a dozen witnesses
were examined, many of whom testi-
fled that attempts had been made by
incendiaries to burn up their stores or
the block in which they were situated.
Underwater Gurrey is present at all
the sessions of fire juries and is deep
ly interested in the arrest and sem
tenCe of an incendiary, the constant
| fires, day after day, are a cause of ap-
prehensOn to the insurance men and
the underwriters, the fire this morning
near the Honolulu Iron Works having
proved a total loss under very suspi-
| cious circumstances.
The jury concerned in the Thursday S
| fire, occurring in a Japanese restau-
rant in the Magoon block, on Queen
and South streets, visited the premises
the same afternoon and obtained strong
! evidence of incendiary origin. Some of
| the soil under the building was taken
! for analysis and found to be saturated
with oil, while what appeared to be the
remains of a purposely arranged col
| lection of barrel slaves, oil boxes and
fire wood was discovered.
A baker for a neighboring Chinese
restaurant testified this morning thai
on getting up as usual at 2 o'clock OF
the morning of the fire to make bread
he heard the cracking of burning wood
and with the assistance of a neighbol
succeeded in putting out the flames be-
fore the engines arrived.

LIVELY SEVENTH
VERY QUIET NOW

1T wasn't the fighting 9TH this time"
says the Republicans from that precinct
referring to the failure of the Fifth dis
trict committee to agree upon senato-
rial candidates last night. The joint
convention is to be held Monday night,
beginning at eight o'clock, in Progress
hall, and it is said that the Fifth may
lose her chance to get two men on the
senatorial ticket, if the district does not
reach an agreement. Other caucasses
will be held before the convention
meets.
The seventh precinct made no report
last night and did not offer any sug-
gestions. The earnest Lane Huddy
men did not come to the front. A pro-
position has been made to ballot for the
four possible nominees, Achi, Lane, Nc
Candless and Huddy, with the under
standing that the delegation should fall
into line and be unanimous for the two
chosen. An agreement on this basis
has not yet been made, but it still being
urged.
In the Fourth district Mark p. Robin
son and Paul Isenberg are talked of for
the Senate. A. G.. M. Robertson is also
mentioned, in spite of his having with
drawn his name as candidate for any
| office. He is expected back from Kauai
| tomorrow, and will be asked to run for
the Senate or House.
The Fifth has a long list of candi-
| dates for the House. Among them are
| Nainoa, Naukana, Rev. Ezera, w II
| Crawford, j. L. Kauukou. William
| lsaacs, Qui Fong, j. Kaneakua, Kalai-
| keali. A petition circulated for Henry
! Vida has nearly 200 signatures This
was a strong Home Rule district last
| election in which none of the Republi-
| can candidates were successful.

FITCH DECLARES NOT
A DOLLAR WILL
Be PA ID
FEDERAL COURT MUST DECIDE
THAT LAW rs CONSTITUTIONAL
BEFORE MONEY WILL BE HAND
ED OVER TO THE GOVERNMENT.

In his brief in the income tax case.
filed with Judge Estee this morning.
Col. Tom Fitch sails into the policy OF
Attorney General Dole, in contestinE
the matter on demurrer. Fitch declares
that it is a fight to finish, and that his
clients and many 'others will never pay
another dollar of income tax until a
federal court has decided that the law
is constitutional. Fitch says that it is
Ito be regretted" that the attorney
general did not see fit to withdraw his
demurrer and unite with him in trying
to get a speedy ruling on the constitu-
tionality of the law, as if the demurrer
is sustained it will be barren victory
for the Territory. THE plaintiffs here
in are not, as stated by the Attorney
General" says Fitch "a small minority
of the taxpayers affected by the income
tax law They number over sixty OF
the leading business men and corpora
tions of Honolulu, and more than
double that number not enumerated
among complainants are cooperating
with them. They are as patriotic and
as public spirited as Mr. T.. Z. Dole
They understand that the Territory has
other sources of revenue than the in
come tax law. They do not believe him
when he says that to enjOin the en-
forcement of the income tax law under
public improvements to allow the roaus,
bridges, wharVes, school houses, court
houses, all public buildings of the Ter
ritOry to go to decay and to seriously
impede the machinery of government
in the ordinary routine of it's adminis-
tration.'
by the terms of the income tax law
no collections can be called for before
| November fifteenth next. By that time
| with the cooperation Of counsel on
I both sides a decision as to the consti-
| tutionality of the law could be obtained
/ from the United States Court of APP
/ peals. If the Attorney General expects
and hopes to fill the Territorial trea-
sury with the proceeds of the income tax
( by side tracking the main issue and by
! disingenuously crawling away from it
| through the hole of a small technicality
| he will be doomed to disappointment
1t may as we'll be understood that the
| complainants in this action and those
/ who cooperate with them will never
pay one dollar of this income tax unless
! and until it shall be decided by a Fe-
| deral Court that 1t is constitutional
tax.
IF this court shall dismiss the lilI
! without considering the main question
J involved, the result will be that the ter
ritory may after November fifteenth be
| compelled to begin several hundred ac-
tiOns which cannot be taken to the Cir
! cult Court of Appeals but must go
directly to the Supreme Court of the
Territory to the Supreme Court of the
United StateS-a process requiring
| years of time and in the meantime the
| Territory will receive no revenue from
the income tax law so far as those
complainants and their coadjutors are
| concerned"

A report from Waimanalo at 1856 p.
m. this afternoon states that a steam
ship showing two masts and two fun
nels had just been sighted. The OBJ
server at Waimanalo was unable to
make out at that time whether it was
the Korea but he was certain that it
was.
The only other vessel that it could
be is the S. S. Nevadan Of the Ameri-
can Hawaiian line. The Nevadan is
due today. The Nevadan has only one
funnel however and as the new Pacific
Mail liner has two tunnels, it is more
than likely that the vessel reported is
the Korea.
Should it prove to be the Korea, the
performance of the Frawley Company
in Secret Service will take place to-
night at the opera house at o'clock.
