EVERY ISLAND
FEELS COLD
NATIVES IN MANYS SECTIONS
SUFFERING FROM WEATHER..
SNOW O NHALEAKALA.

Every island in the Hawaiian group
is hivering from the cold In some
places the weather has been the cold
est that even the old natives can re-
call. Actual suffering has been felt in
some sections. 1t would not be sur
prising If the mOrtuary reports of the
present month would not show mark
ed increase in the number of deaths
from sickness arising from cold wea-
ther The northern sections of the
different islands are naturally the ones
to feel The cold snap worse than the
places that are more sheltered. Every
section is affected though.
There was a hail storm at Lahaina
yesterday afternoon. The storm was
very unexpected and people scarcely
know what was happening. The down
pour of hail did not last very long
however. The hail was about the size
Of No. 81 shot. This storm was pre-
ceeded by an exceptionally heavy fall
of rain. A thunder storm prevailed.
For the first time in ten years Halea-
kala has been covered with snow. The
big mountain presents a very pretty
sight. When the officers of the steam
er Mauna Loa saw the snow on the
mountain they were surprised beyond
measure. The snow is very low down
the sides of the mountain being almost
as far down as Ulupalakua. The wea-
ther is reported to have been cold all
over Maui. ....... ...r
On Hawaii snow was seen on both
Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea. The pre-
sence of snow on the tops of these
mountains is a regular occurrence but
the line of the snow fall has been much
lower than usual. The weather has
been very cold all over the island and

GENEVA ARE
MISSING
Seven Sailors Left Schooner
But Only Four Reported to
Have Landed, One is Son
of Wealthy Merchant

There is considerable mystery at
tached to the sailors who deserted the
British schooner Geneva when she was
off port last Wednesday, Seven men
left the vessel but only four are re
ported to have landed at Waikiki This
circumstance indicates the possibility
of three. of the crowd having been
drowned. Until the police shall have
apprehehded some of the crowd, this
point will remain undetermined. The
names of the men as given by the
captain-of the vessel are Frank Hutch
esOn, George DOpman, ellis, James
Bryant James Kelley, James Davie and
George Hutton.
The seven sailors left the vessel some
time Tuesday night. Hutton, Hutche-
son and a third man were on watch
Captain Jones and the third mate were
ashore while the first and second
mates were asleep below. The two
sailors called five of their shpmates
forward and the crowd lowered a boat
and started away from the ship. At
the time the men left her, the Geneva
was about 20 miles to the southwark
of Oahu. The crowd landed near Fred
Macfarlane's place at Waikiki early
Wednesday morning. The boat was
left on the beach Evidently the crowd
thought they would succeed in eluding
capture for they brought their kits
away with them.
A number of people saw some of the
men after the landing was made but
so far as is now known, nobody saw
the crowd actually come ashore. IL is
the latter circumstance that has caus-
ed considerable worry over the possible
fate Of three members. SO far as the
police have been able to ascertain. only
four men reached shore People who
saw some unknown sailors in the Wal
kiki district early Wednesday morn
ing are positive that there were only
four men in the crowd. No trace OF
the other men who deserted the vessel
has been secured. 1t is of course pos
sible that the crowd separated after
making shore but it seems odd that no
trace of the three remaining members
of the deserters should have been found
If they reached shore. The only other
explanation is that they were drowned
and never reached the shore. The boat
is reported to have been broken by
striking the reef and in such an event,
there is the possibility that three of the
men might not have reached shore at
all. There is no doubt that seven men
left the Geneva. They took only one
hOat The boat was large enough to
have held Ia men so there was no dan
ger of her having been OVERLOADED.
One of the deserters comes ofsa very
prominent' family in Victoria so Cap
tain Jones states. This is Hutcheson.
Hutcheson is about % years of age and
was an attorney. He was somewhat
under the influence of liquor when he
shipped aboard the vessel, so Captain
Jones states. Hutcheson's father is
the proprietor of the White House one
of the largest commercial establish
ments of Victoria, b. c. and is one of
its wealthiest citizens. The young man
evidently shipped aboard the sealer for

ROGERJAMESAS
: LEADER OF A
GANG
Tells His Story to the Attorney
General and Agrees to be a
Witness for the ProSeCu-
ton,

Roger James, the burglar who was
sentenced to twelve years by Judge De
Bolt, this morning made a full con-
fession to Attorney General Andrews,
duplicating half a dozen of the other
defendants indicted by the Grand Jury
and who are being tried one after the
other. According to Roger James
story he was the leader of a gang
which operated regularly in Honolulu.
James was the first one caught, and
his arrest by Chester Doyle finally led
to the capture of all the others.
This afternoon Judge De Bolt will
take up the case of Archie Williams,
and Roger James will be called as a
witness for the prosecution. He has
agreed to tell the whole story of how
the various burglaries alleged against
him and others were committed. VIII
iiams is charged with the Pacific
Heights burglary and the burglary of a
Chinese establishment in Waikiki. Ac-
cording to Roger James testimony both
himself and Williams were in these
deals.
Roger James was found guilty sew
eral days ago and Judge De Bolt gave
him a sentence of twelve years. Since
then the prosecution in the other cases
has been seeking to obtain from him a
statement regarding the various affairs
in which he was supposed to have
taken part. His confession this morn
ing greatly strengthens the prosecution
in the other cases. James is a part
negro and is the best dressed and best
looking member of the gang which the
Grand Jury rounded up.
The case of Montalvo, a Porto Rican
charged with assault with a weapon,
was disposed of this morning by a SEN
tence of two years at hard labor Mon
talvo made plea for mercy, and APP
peared to think he had considerable in
fluence with the court. Judge De
Bolt imposed a two-year sentence and
it was duly interpreted to the prisoner
THE defendant says he is not salts
fed said interpreter McCauley after
sentence had been passed Judge De
Bolt remarked that he hoped that such
was the case.

The Governors Views.

Governor Herreid has some decided
views on the assessment question and as
usually they are sound. He says
Three years study Of the assessment re'
turns as member of the state board oi
equalization and assessment has con-
vinced me that our present methods fot
raising revenue by assessments made by
hundreds of assessors, each law unto
himself come dangerously near farce.
The state board is utterly helpless re-
garding most of the personal property
schedules. The constitution and the
laws require all property to be listed and
assessed at its full value. While the
equalized returns will show 2l5 millions,
II all the assessable property was listed
at its full value we should probably have
one thousand millions. Real estate i'd
assessed at from half its value in some of
the northwestern counties to one-fourth
actual value in the older portions of the
state Ia discrepancy which is gradually
disappearing) personal property is from
one-third to one fourth of its actual value.
But the great mass of the personal prop
erty does not appear on the assessors
books at all. To illustrate. One of the
largest and richest counties returns only
81 500 of household goods" One large
county returns only $945, one 1915, one
$500, one $lSS and one nothing. In a
great fhany counties there are no watch
es, no jewelry and no gold and silver
plate, ETC. Many large, rich counties
make no return of credits other than of
banks, and moneys of individuals is
merely nominal or none at all. The
richest county in the state returns only
$500, one county 1867, one $2S7 and one
of the largest and richest counties not a
dollar. Sometimes the goods and mer-
chandise" returned for county is less
than the stock Of some individual store
keeper. Thousands of head of horses,
sheep and cattle are not listed and escape
taxation. The system of assessment is
defective in its operation. The tax pay
er knows that nearly everybody is very
timid when the assessor is around, and
act accordingly. Every assessor tries to
protect his neighbors and his township,
and every county board tries to guard its
county from paying more than its share,
and the result is-returns showinga val
uation of about one-ffth of the total, ac-
tual valuation of all the property in the
StateO
