roads of drummers. With all the taxes
and a license added it meant simply
that the merchants were at a disadvan-
tage as against the drummers. The
merchants would not oppose paying a
license were it not for the fact that
drummers were compelled to pay a Ii
cense as we'll. One firm of San Fran
cisco did $500 900 business in this Ter
ritory last year and all the expense was
the hiring of room in hotel and that
would have to be done at any event.
Mr.. Macfarlane said that it might be
possible to reach the drummers by a
provision OF the income tax but that
was a matter for legal minds.
Mr. Chnlingworth suggested that he
had interested himself in the license
matter because he believed that the
Chinese and Japanese small shops
were simply branches of wholesale
houses, which imported goods. sold
them in this way and all the profit went
abroad. Mr., Macfarlane said he
thought all the goods in the japanese
stores were paid for, as he thought
there was no credit obtainable for them.

then II came 10 question OF which
was the lesser evil, for all to pay a tax

Maufarlane that the man who sold $500,

lulu held a meeting in the Keokea,
Kula, school cottage for applications
for the government lands of lower ka-

desire to have the land cut up into
60-acre lots instead of 15-acre parcels,
as desired by the land officials Land
Commissioner L. S. Boyd is expected on
Maui next week to investigate mat
tiers. Recently S. M. Kanakanui has

the verse: Pray without ceasing."
The little one rendered it, pray with
out casing" All the other members of
the class agreed that the rendering was
correct. When aksed by the teacher
for an explanation of the meaning
little japanese girl said it meant pray
without kerosene" She was accustomed
to hear the illuminating fluid mention
ed as by the case.

MAUI, February 1.-THE excitement
Of the week concerned the pros and
cons OF the county seat question. Is
Il to be Waikiki or Lahaina seems to
be the burning topic of the moment.
The discussion has waxed exceedingly
warm In Waikiki town during the past
week. Attorneys John Richardson and
Peter Noa of Lahaina have been trying
to persuade the Wailukans of the SUI
perior qualifications of Lahaina. OF
course the large majority of Wailuku
citizens are in favor of their own town
for the county capital, but there are a
few prominent people in favor of La
haina, among whom is mentioned Cir
cult Judge ]. w. Kalua.
And then the Lahaina agitators claim
that Hon. w. y. Haia and the majority
of the citizens of Hama are in favor of
Iahains. They also claim that they
have won over two-thirds of the legis-
lators to their view of the question.
They probably much over-estimate
their strength. II put to the vote of
the people the result would be a very
close one, with the three small districts
Of Lahaina, Molokai and Hama arrayed
against the two large districts of Wal
luku and MakawaO. 1t would be a
shame If by any chance in the uncer-
tain game of politics the county seat
should be placed elsewhere than in
Wailuku, the principal town of Maui,
situated as 1t is in the geographical
center of the island.
During the week meetings for the
purpose of agitating the question have
been held in Waihee and Waikapu.
The meeting that was to have been
neld last night in Waikiki court house
was postponed until Monday evening
of next week.
On Monday, February Q, the execu-
tive committee of the district committee
chosen by the Republicans Of Maui and
Mookai met at Knhului custom house
and ndorsed the county bill as 1t
stands, with the county seat at Wailu-
ku as is stated in the bill
The sentiment of this committee was
unanimously opposed to placing the
schools under county boards. Messrs.
II. =. Baldwin and w. o. Aiken made
speeches to that effect. During the
meeting a curious question, suggested
by the Keanae Republicans, cropped
up SHOULD the Molokai settlement be
included in the County of Maui?"
Should the 225 or $50 voters of the set
tIement have the privilege of voting
upon, and in some cases deciding, ques-
tons of great local Importance? Not
to them, the citizens of Kalaupapa and
Kalawao, for they are not only com
pletely isolated, but will be supported
by the Territory. Then. too, many OF
the residents of the settlement, and in

a vested right and that 1t would take
a separate act to pay back any portion
of license fees. Mr. Westervelt said
that II there was any fairer method OF
bringing together liquor men and tenn
perance people he would adopt IL and
work along those lines. The amend
ment as offered by the Anti-Saloon
League was received and placed on file
against the protest OF senator Isenberg
who said there was no precedent for
such action.

RESTRAINT OF TRADE
Federal Salt Company indicted
by U. S. Grand Jury at
San Francisco.

San Francisco. Feb. Indictments
were returned by the federal grand
jury today charging the Federal salt
company with violating the Sherman
antitrust law. Specifically. the in
dictment alleges a violation on the
part of the Federal Salt company Of
the second and third sections Of the
act of July, 1895. These sections, gem
orally speaking, forbid a combination
in restraint Of trade 10 raise prices
upon any commodity.
ANY penalty that may be imposed
under the Indictment viii be nominal
ly against the officers and directors
Of the sO-called salt trust" but also
against the officers and directors of
the constituent companies who went
into the trust, the names being given
as follows:
American Salt company, Union Pa
cidc salt company Continental Salt
g. Chemical company. Canmen Island
Salt company, New Liverpool Salt
company. Redwood City Salt company,
Leslie Salt Refining company, China

The Indictment recites that these
concerns formed an agreement TO store
salt in warehouses FOR the purpose OF
creating a scarity Of salt" and thus
raised the price of the commodity TO
the people to enrich themselves.
