NEGOTIATIONS FOR
OLD ARMORY SITE

Government. There being an appro-
priation of $4,000 for new armory
for the National Guard. the Govern
ment desires to obtain the lot in ques
ton for its site.
. The Governor and Superintendent of
Public Works pointed out to General
Macarthur that no great improvements
had been made to the lot by the Fed
eral government, while 1t was an ideal
location for headquarters for the Ma
tional Guard, etc. What was more
important still was its central situation
, in case of Instruction. They felt
emboldened in approaching General
Macarthur on the matter, because he
had urged upon the administration the
great Importance of fostering and
building up the National Guard of Ha-
wall having expressed the opinion that
he considered this one of the most i'm
portant positions for a National Guard
force.
General Macarthur was very cordial
indeed in his response to the appeal.
He said that so far as the Army was
concerned they had site down on the
waterfront for Quartermaster's
building, but the barracks building was
the only place they had now. There
were two ut-of-town sites located,
but they were encountered by leases.
He would be glad to take up the mat
ter of an exchange Of sites with them,
as they had suggested.
The result of the meeting was that
Mr.. Holloway was directed to prepare
a map or maps of available ground,
and the negotiators will come together
again shortly to find whether or not 1t
is feasible to effect an exchange.
Governor Carter assured reporter
that this movement was not intended
for delay as the administration was
anxious to provide suitable armory
for the N. G. II. 1t was believed.
however that the old site was the best
in every way and IL it can be recovered
by the Territory considerable expense
would be saved when economy was so
greatly desired.

ADA CAME BACK
WITHOUT THE BARK

The little schooner Ada returned to
Honolulu yesterday morning from
French Frigate Shoals without having
accomplished her purpose of wrecking
the bark Connetable de Richemont.
Captain Weisbarth says however that
he would have been successful had not
his men gone on a strike and refused
to aid him. The sailors however claim
that the expedition is a foolhardy one
and that only large vessel properly
equipped, has any hope of floating the
wrecked French bark.
Captain Weisbarth is not discourage
ed, however. He left Diver Ellison
with one man in the vicinity of the
wreck, in order not to lose his rights,
and he expects to return with another
expedition Saturday. He has a plan
by which he expects to raise the wreck
by hosting the vessel up and off the
rocks. The sailors who went with
Weisbarth claim this scheme is utterly
absurd for small vessel like the Ada.
The sailors on the Ada say that they
will not return to the shoals and Cap
tain Weisbarth will have to ship a new
crew. They say also that he had a
chance to bring back some $4,000 worth
of material off the wreck which he
didn't do. They had taken off the wire
cable, rope anchors and tackle, and
the sailors claim this might have been
easily brought back to Honolulu. The
Ada lost both her anchors, one at Bird
Island, and this was one of the reasons
why she was compelled to return. The
wreck Is said to lie in the same position
as it was when deserted and later
when seen by Captain Rodman of the
Iroquos. The men say that there Is
not the slightest possibility of taking
the vessel out excepting by an ex-
perienced man and that the channel
by which she entered could never be
followed.

ONE FREIGHTER
IN LOCAL TRADE

The Americana Hawaiian Steamship
co. has permanently withdrawn the
freighter Nebraskan from the local
trade and hereafter the Nevadan will
be depend d upon to take care Of all
the carrying business of the company
between Honolulu and San Francisco.
No reason for the change Is given in
the letter received yesterday by Agent
Morse, but the order was anticipated
as the Nebraskan had been temporar-
lily withdrawn some time ago.
The Nevadan has been put on a reg
ular monthly schedule. She leaves
San Francisco for Honolulu December
lsth' then again on January 18th, Feb
ruary 18th, and March 22d. She will
make her usual trips to Kahului.
The Nebraskan will however be here
IN February to load sugar for New
York. and hereafter will be- on the
regular around the Horn run. She Is
now undergoing slight repairs and her
tanks are being enlarged so that she
will be able to carry enough oil on
her long trip. without the necessity of
stopping en- route for fuel.
The American is now on the way
to Honolulu and Kahului from the
Sound, with a cargo or merchandise.
The Hawaiian will follow her on jan
uary first and the Nebraskan in Feb
ruary. The Alaskan Is scheduled to
sail from New York for Honolulu via
San Francisco. January LIST.

TAXPAYER WOULD
STOP A LEAK

Editor Advertiser: Being taxpayer
and as such in favor of an economic
administration, more so as our treas
ury is not in a too fourishing condi-
ton and necessary public improve
ments are retarded on all sides by
the lack of funds, 1 consider it fair
and just that delinquent taxpayers
should be made to pay their taxes, and
no Partially or leniency shown to any
one, except in stringent cases for good
and sufficient reasons, and thus made
to contribute their pro rata to the sus-
tenance of the government.
These are evidently the views of our
tax collector judging from the number
of suits daily filed in our courts against
delinquents, chronic and otherwise, a
proceeding which meets the full APP
prevail of the people, for the money is
needed and should be collected, but on
the best and cheapest plan, so as to
make the yield as large as possible.
If this be done there can be no kick
from anyone, but l doubt that such is
the case, If the attorney representing
the government receives per cent
commission on all moneys collected by
him, as l am creditably informed, and
as the delinquent taxes are said to
amount to 100000 or even more it will
readily be seen that the attorney
draws a fee of about $4,000 to $4,000 for
about one or two months services, a
good enough pay for half a dozen law
yers in these hard times.
1t may be argued that not all judg-
ments will realize but as taxes con-
stitute a preferred claim they must be
paid If the person sued has anything
at all to pay with, and we all know
that taxes, as a rule, are levied on
values only.
The Governments attorney in this
average in the profession, or have a
pull with the government, unknown to
the general public, to be entitled to
such snap, for l warrant that for
one-half Of his remuneration the best
lawyer in the Territory will take the
job and make good money out of it.
If these matters fall to the duties of
the Attorney General, as they undoubt-
eddy do, and he is too busy to give
them the necessary attention, why not
employ extra office help for it surely
does not require an expert lawyer to
fill out summon blanks and as taxes
justly owing cam t be disputed at
this date, when they are delinquent,
almost any attorney with the slightest
legal knowledge, can represent the
Government ara thus save the Terri
tory several thousand dollars in at
torney fees.
1t is not in harmony with justice
for the Attorney Generals or any 9TH
er department of our government to
enrich individuals on the taxes of the
people, who, in order to pay, in some
instances have to borrow money to
avoid being sold out of house and
home,
