Warmest Day
of the Year.

The weather of yesterday was
one degree warmer than at any
time this year. The Thermometer
at II o'clock a. m. and at p. m.
registered 1o3 degrees. Monday
was a warm day, but 1t was eclipsed
by yesterday, the thermometer
reaching only the hundred mark at
3 o'clock Monday. Monday night
broke the record for sleep, and
almost the majority of people In the
city preferred an out of door retreat
or an openwindow In preference to
retiring. The thermometer again
commenced to climb yesterday and
as early as 6 O'Clock reached SO de-
grees. These figure, are official
and correct.

WANTS FRANCHISE
SALE DEFERRED

Governor Dole said yesterday after
noon, with reference to a then Just
published statement that he had de-
cided to put the Kohala ditch up at
public auction, that such had been the
intention of the Government for some
time past. AS to when the sale would
take place, the Governor said it was
undecided. Mr.. Gehr had asked that
the event be deferred, as he desired
to go to Washington.
A. c. Gehr, after the recent confer
ence, made a formal demand on Land
Commissioner Boyd to deliver the fran
chise to his company and the Commits
sioner formally refused the demand.
This procedure cleared the way for an
injunction suit to stop the sale at auc-
ton, should Mr.. Gehr and associates
decide on such action as their best
recourse.
From remarks made by Mr.. Gehr
openly, between and since the two re-
cent conferences in the Governors Of
flee, he has several strings to his bow.
Should the sale be ordered before he
leaves for Washington, or at any time
before his return, the cable would be
busy for a while.

ASKS WRIT
OF ERROR
|Emb excitement
Cases To the
Front.
Walter Wright and His
Bondsmen Seek a
Reversal.
Supreme Court Asked To Set
Aside Judgment For AIleg-
ed Embezzled Money.

The epidemic of embellishments from
which the Territory of Hawaii suffer-
ed year or SO ago, is recalled in the
application for writ of error in the
case of W. A. Wright, Charles Gay,
j. j. Kapuniai and o. Blackstad
against j. K. Farley as Tax Collector
and Assessor of the Fourth Division.
The petition is for a review of the
case of w. A. Wright, the alleged en-
bezzler of government funds on the
absconding Treasurer Wright Walter
Wright is still awaiting trial on a
charge of embezzlement on Kauai but
it seems that Judge Hardy has already
rendered judgment against him and
his bondsmen for the amount OF the
money alleged to have been taken.
In the petition for a writ of error it
is set forth: THAT the said court on
the 2Sth day of May, 1903, as of the
last day of the March term, 1908,
made, rendered, and filed a judgment
ia Selu dClioll, ddJodSiiS ei1l pA1iiieiAh
do and recover from said defendants
the sum of $2204.6O and costs of suit.
THAT the said defendants, w. A.
Wright, Charles Gay, J. K. Kapuniai
and o. Blackstad, your petitioners,
and plaintiffs in error herein deem
themselves aggrieved by the decisions,
rulings and judgment of the said Cir
cult Court of the Fifth judicial Cir
Of In ALA
by the findings of said Circuit Court,
viz:
Il. That the release given by E. E.
Conant, while acting in the capacity
of Tax Collector and Assessor for the
Fourth Division, Territory of Hawaii,
to one o. Blackstad the surety on the
bond given by w. A. Wright, Deputy
Tax Assessor for said Fourth Divis-
ion, was and is Intellectual for lack of
power in the said Conant to release
said o. Blackstad.
''2. That the other sureties on said
bond, to wit, Charles Gay, and ]. X.
Kapuniai, We're not released from said
bond.
'3. That the said bond remains in
full force.
81 That the conditions of the bond
had been broken by the dishonest acts
of the principal Wright while hold
ing the office of Deputy Tax Assessor
and Collector for the District of Wal
mea, Island of Kauai.
50. By giving, making and rendering
and finding a judgment in said action
against the said defendants for the
sum of s2204.60 together with the
costs"
In the assignment of errors it is al
legged that the court erred in denying
the defendants motion for non-suit
based upon the following grounds:
First: That it had not been proven
that the plaintiff, j. K. Farley, had
filed his bond or taken his oath of
office as the statute required.
Second: That the evidence showed
that o. Blackstad was released from
the bond, and that the release of O.
Blackstad operated as the release of
defendants, Gay and Kapuniai.
Third: That it had not been shown
that defendant, w. A. Wright, had not
accounted for the sums of money which
had come into his hands, it not hav-
ing been shown by competent evidence
that said Wright had received the
sums of money which are alleged in
plaintiffs complaint to have been re-
ceived by said Wright.

there had been no assurance as to the
class of players to be sent down.
Mr. Murphy of the Elks stated that
as long as the trustees felt the way
they did, the matter should be drop
ped. He believed that it would cost
about $500 TO bring the team here, and
he knew that each of the five teams
could not guarantee $500. He said
not a good one, and he couldn't make
hear nor tail out of it. Even if there
was thought of bringing team from
the mainland, he did not think this
proposition could be accepted.
Mr. Isenberg said that the trustees
were not opposed to having Califor-
mia team brought down, but it was
simply question of going into debt
to do it. The taxes, water rates AMI
ground keeper had all to be paid and
the league wasn't in condition 10
stand a loss
While the trustees did not have to
borrow as much as they expected
there was still an outstanding debt, ana
the trustees did not even have q
guarantee that there would be baseball
next year. If there was baseball and
it was success, the present debt
could be paid off within a year or two,
but the trustees did not want to go
further into debt. If there was bal
ance of about $4,000 in the bank it
would be a different thing, Mr.. Isen-
berg said.
Carter for the Punahous suggested
also that if the California team came
down in December there was a p,s-
sibility of rain nearly all the time, ard
baseball might be impossible.
Upon motion of Mr.. Murphy, it was
finally decided unanimously, to send
Mr. Beckett a letter saying that il
would be impracticable to accept lis
proposition.
1t was voted to distribute $500 or
hand to the five teams, the balance &c
be used to pay the outstanding bills
No drawing for practice days was
made as the "Kams'' and Elks arc
the only teams to play next Saturd L
and Wise and Cunha will draw fol-
days.
There was an attempt at discussion
of football but adjournment prevented
this.

Ice Covers the River.

There was more ice on the river yester-
day than there has been at any time since
the cold weather set in. and navigation, ex-
cept for steam vessels, was stopped. Yes
terday morning the entire surface Of the
river from this city to Fort Washington
and below was covered by sheet of ice an
inch or more in thickness. On the flats it
was over two inches. This was broken up
by the steamers The steamboats, coming
into port yesterday were coated with ice
wherever the spray struck them, and the
wheel houses were frozen Niagaras in min
iature.
The ice drifting down the Eastern branch
channel yesterday forced the dredge Dewey
to stop work on the channel in the vicinity
of Buzzard's point until the Ice had passed.
The dredge was using line Of pipe nearly
a thousand feet long to carry the liquid
mud upon the flats. and the ice coming
down the branch jammed against the floats
holding the pipe and broke them apart.
There was danger Of the pipe line being
carried away by the ice, and work was
suspended for several hours.
