HlLO POLO
BUDDING OUT
The Popular Pastime Shows Signs
OF a fIourishing Existence
in Hawaii.

Polo, that king of sports has at last
given promise of a flourishing exist
ence in Hilo. The popular pastime
which has been showing only mediocre
signs of life has at last budded out into
an enthusiastic reality. Two full -fleds-
ed teams have at last been picked and
exciting and interesting sport Will
hereafter be the rule on Saturday af-
ternoons. Polo has everything in It's
advantage to make it a very enjoyable
form of amusement in HID. To begin
with Eilo has no raEuIu-. Saturday
sport SO that an amusement IF this
Kind every week would meet a lorg-
felt want in The community. The
grounds of Hoolulu Park are so ar
ranged that viewing the game from a
carriage would be not only matter of
ease, but Of decided enjoyment.
Those who play polo in Hilo are
Prouty, Balding (2), Guard, Kennedy,
Grace, Scott and Elgin. Efforts are. be-
ing made to increase the membership
of the clubs, but the material now at
the disposal of the players is sufficient
to make up two rafting good teams.
Two combinations made up on the fol-
lowing lines would need an authority
on the sport to pick the winners.
No. 1-Prouty (captain), Guard, Elgin
and w. T. Balding.
No. 2-Kennedy, (captafn), Scott
Grace and Balding.
Prouty has by far the best horse of
the outfit for. the beast follows the ball
well and gets the spirit of the game
Kennedy's horse as soon as 1t gets
over the sulks will be an animal that
Will be hard to beat. BaIding has a
fair horse, but more training will i'm
prove the beast. All the others are
fairly well mounted.-Hilo Tribune.

HAWAII'S
FRIEND

unwise to do anything in the line of
| tariff legislation, Notwithstanding the
recommendation of the President.
! The beet sugar people, more power
| full by far than the Hawaiians, and
| having larger interests at stake, are
| putting up a more vigorous fight, and,
cooperating with the cane sugar grow
ers of Louisiana, are leading the OPP
position. The Hawaiian planters and
the Hawa IN people want several
things fro ong IS besides an alb
sence of legislation for the Cuban su-
gar growers. These things they must
go out and fight for alone. There is no
one else to help them. Therefore,
while trooping in with the beet sugar
people and the cane growers Of Louis
lana, and helping them on every posi-
BILE occasion, the brunt of the fight
against Cuba is left to them and Ha-
wall is making no special hue and cry
thereon and will not do so, unless the
situation should become more acute, of
which there seems little danger.
Before this letter reaches San Fran
cisco the Nicaragua Canal bill will
have passed the House. In the last
few days the evidences of efforts to
block the bill in the Senate have been
growing. 1t is not believed now that
they will prevail, but there will be de-
lay of weeks, perhaps of months. The
best judgment here is that the bill win
become law before the session closes.
LEPER BILL UNCONSIDERED.
Delegate Wilcox's bill to transfer the
leper settlement to the United States
government, as reported in a previous
letter, has received no serious consi"-

San Francisco, who introduced a some
what similar bill last year. stated to-
day that he had dropped the matter
because the sentiment of the Hawaii
ans seemed to be against such a step.
have not seen Mr.. Wilcox's bill, said
Mr.. Kahn today. and am not familiar
with it's provisions. We hal six o.
seven lepers in San Francisco last year
and there seemed to be a strong desire
to send them to Hawaii. However. !
found that there was much objection
to such a course from the people of the
territory. who claimed that to make
Molokai a leper settlement for the
State of California or for the country
would attach a certain stigma TO the
islands in the mind of the public at
large. Further it was claimed that to
send the California lepers out there
would be to transplant them to a col
ony, now contented and well managed,
where the language and customs of
those with whom they would be asso-
ciated would be strange and foreign.
With all these representa- tions it ap-
peared to me that the wishes of the
people Of Hawaii ought to be respected
Accordingly 1 Gid not urge my bill. I
know of nothing that has changed the
status of the question, since last year.

Ten Tears Ago Saturday Kenosha Was
Swept by a Disastrous confIag-

FIRE DISTRICT IS ALL REBUILT
In Ten Years All the Old Ruins Have Been
Torn Down and Given Place TO Greag
Industries and Beautiful Homes.

Ten years ago Saturday the most
disastrous fire that ever occurred in
Southern Wisconsin occurred in Keno
sha and in less than seven hours
more than $5OO,00O worth of property
IN the business portion of the city was
completely wiped out. Had it not
been for the prompt assistance re-
ceived from the fire companies in Mil
waukee, Racine, HARVARD and Wauke-
gan, the entire city would have been
destroyed. It was memorial bic day in
Kenosha and today the older citizens
of the town are recalling the events of
the great fire.
The fire originated in the old build
ings of the Northwestern Wire Mat
tress Works. 1t was discovered at
O'Clock in the morning and before the
| firemen had ended their hand to hand
fight with the flames the big plant of
the Northwestern Wire Mattress COM
pany, the Kenosha Crib Works, the
| Kenosha Lumber company and many
residences had been burned to the
ground. The Balm Wagon Works also
had baptism of fire at this time, the
loss to the company exceeding $4,000
When it was found impossible for
the Kenosha fire companies to cope
with the spreading flames, Mayor O.
M. Petit sent to the surrounding cit
les for protection for the homes in Re
nosha and the cities responded sc
promptly that within few hours the
town was crowded with fremen
Nothing remains today to show the
ruins of the fire. The entire district
destroyed has been rebuilt. The

fore the fire. New houses have taken
the place of the residences burned and
the fire district is now one of the

on complimentary banquets were given

The banquet given to the Milwaukee

traditions of Kenosha, it being the
greatest social event of it's kind ever
held in Kenosha.

HENRY WEIsMANN AGAIN.
Non-suit in Circuit Cours.-Files Notice of
Prejudice Against Judge Belden.

Prejudice Against Judge Belden.
Attorney Henry Weismann, the at
torney of Brighton, appeared in the
Circuit Court in Racine Wednesday af-
ternoon in the case of Weism mn
against George Mcdonald and the F.
G. Klein Co. It is a suit for attor-
ney's fees.
A jury was called in the case. It
was expected that the attorneys for
the defendants would object to Mr..
Weismann appearing, on account of
having been declared insane by Judge
Siosson, and for the reason that he
had been barred from appearing in the
Kenosha Circuit Court on that groun /.
No objections were entered however,
and there was nothing for Judge Bel
den to do but permit the lawyer to
take care Of his own case. Mr.. Weis-
mann took the stand in his own be-
half and displayed letters and other
papers bearing upon the case at bar,
but most of the same was not admit
ted. At the conclusion of the evidence
motion was made for non-suit by the
attorneys for the defense and the mo-
ton was granted.
There was another case of Mr..
Weismann on the calendar, that of
Henry Weismann against William
Wilkie. The attorney filed notice of
prejudice against Judge Be1den and
the case went to Waukesha county.
Mr.. Weismann declares that he will
bring suit against every man in Ke-
nosha county who had any thing to do
with the proceedings whereby he was
declared insane.

Tax Commissions Send Out Instruc.
lions to Assessors in Every
County in the State.
THE LAW IS TO BE ENFORCED
Assessors Are Warned of the Penalties II
They Neglect to Do Their Dusy.-No
Excuse to Be Valid.

The Wisconsin state tax commission
at Madison has issued it's annual in
structions to assessors and boards of
review. They are quite lengthy, max
ing printed pamphlet of seventy
pages.
In the Introductory to the instruc-
tons for this year the commission
calls attention to the law requiring all
classes of property to be assessed at
it's full value and points out the penal
ties for willful violation of the law.
The two essentials of assessment, the
commission says, are a complete list
ing of all taxable property and a
correct value of the same. The instruc-
tons then go into an extended discus
sion of the methods for the listing Of
real and personal properly and the
rules for deterni ming it's value.
After citing the provisions of the
law requiring all property to be as
sessed at its full value, the commission
says:
Penalty for Sinking.
"The laws imposing penalties for
violation of duty are now we'll under
stood and are brought to the notice OF
assessing officers in ample time for
the purpose of warning. There is now
supervisor of assessments in each
county who is charged with the genera
duty of securing compliance with the
laws of the assessment of property or
the part of assessing officers and ex
pressly authorized to institute pro
ceedings for removal in proper case
Such supervisors are under the direc
ton of the commissioners of taxation
and have been explicitly instructed tt
see that assessments are made in com.
p1iance with law. This necessarily
implies that if any assessing officer
shall Intentionally disregard the laws
enacted for his guidance he must ex.
pect that the penalty or other liability
thereby incurred will be enforced. II
| is not to be understood from this state
ment that the supervisors of assess
ment Or the commissioners of taxa tion
! will seek to act in hostility to assessing
OulCCISs III tue I0C11
wish and purpose to aid such officers
in every way practicable to better
and more proficient performance of
their duties. But it must be under
stood that the laws creating the tax
commission and the Office of supervisor
of assessments and charge those officers
with the duty of supervising assess
ments and the laws imposing penalties
for violation Of duty, were not enacted
as mere idle whims of the legislature,
or to stand as dead letters upon the
statute books, but for the purpose of
securing faithful observance of the
laws for the assessment of property. -
These instructions will be sent out
to assessors as soon as possible. It
is probable that every county will be
supplied within few days. A limited
number of copies will be sent to such
private citizens as may be interested
in the topics treated. The way to secure
them is to apply to the state tax com.
mission.

that April the firm will move to Iowa.

TO VISIT DIES MONIES.
School Children of OttumWa Will g.

Representative A. w. Buchanan of
this city arranging for an excursion
to Des Moines over the Rock Island

pose of allowing the school childreno of
this city, or those who wish to do SO,
to visit the capitol in order to see the
state legislature at work. Superin-
tendent A. w. Stuart, who has charge
of the public schools in Ottumwa, ia
vors the idea and there is every prob
ability that large number of Ottum-
wa students and their parents as well
will take advantage of the invitation
and make visit to Des Moines.
There are many in the state who have
never seen the legislature while gath
cred at the capitol building at work,
and who have no conception OF the
plan followed. The visit will doubt
less prove highly interesting to all
who attend, both as means of adding
to the general fund of information, and
as an opportunity to better fit certain
classes in high school for the work in
American history and political econo-
my, which is included in the course.
