ACT FOR BOARD
(From Thursdays daily.)

Supt Cooper yesterday sent a formal
letter to Secretary Carter, of the Board
of Public Institutions, declining to turn
over property to the board, and also
refusing to act as it's executive officer.
Among other things he says:
"In answer thereto l have to say with
all due respect that l must decline to
accede to the request and to accept the
appointment suggested, for the follow
ing reasons:
list. That by virtue of my office as
Superintendent of Public Works 1 am
charged with the control, management
and maintenance of the harbors,
wharves, pilots and towage and the
Executive and judiciary buildings, and
that I have no power to surrender such
control, management and maintenance

right of the Board of Public Institu-
tons to assume control, management or
maintenance of the harbors, wharves,
pilots and towage, or of the Executive
and Judiciary buildings in that / con-
tend that said Board has no legal exist
ence. (a) That the sections contained
in Act 81 of the Session Laws of 1903
purporting to establish Board of Pub
lie Institutions are illegal, being in cor
travention of the Organic Act general
ly and specifically of section As of said
act, 1t being separate and distinct

Guido themselves In vitriolc enmity to
the department, trying to cripple 1t In
every small way. The result can be
only to hamper the workings of this
office upon which SO much will depend
for the next six months. The work OF
putting through needed improvements
for the counties must be done speedily
and we'll The preparations must be
gone over carefully, yet the members
seem animated by a desire to cripple
the department. Showing how far the
enmity Off the members goes, the item
| for numbering houses in Honolulu,
81, 200. was stricken out after a heated
speech by Kumalae. Not even the
statements of his fellows, that mall de-

boring of houses, would influence the
| Fourth District man, and the out OF
town members were only too glad 70
reduce the Honolulu items.
There came change over the spirit
OF their dreams once the out of town
figures were reached. The adding OF
$4,000 for fire engines for Maui brought
shouts of glee from the Honolulu men
who had fought the items for their
own city; $4,000 for homestead roads
in Hamakua was voted with a rcadi-
ness which pleased the members and
every other district on the big island
without opposition secured all that it
asked, except where 1t was found that
some plantation might share in the
benefits.
1t was most interesting indeed to
see that the members have not even
attempted to carry out the s,irit of
their own resolution, passed on Mon
day. declaring for pro rata appropria- |

Russias latest scheme, that Of MAX
ing China an ally, is the most dan
gerous one to Chinese autonomy she
has yet preached. 1t involves, among
other well-laid plans, the instruction"
and practical control of the Chinese
army. The idea has two advantages
from the Russian point Of view One
is to get rid of the Japanese military
tutors who are at work welding their
old enemies into a formidable defensive
force; the other is to paralyZe any
initiative the Chinese may ever wish
to take in military way. The Rus
sian INSTRUCTORS" would be sure not
to teach the descendants of the soldiers
of Genghis and Kublai too much; and
as spies they would be able to know
all that went on in Chinese military
circles. If the proposed alliance ever
becomes a reality, the future of China
as an independent power will not be
difficult to forecast.

DIVISION OF MONEY.

Now that a basis of division has beer
reached as to the appropriations which
are to be made for the various senator
ial districts, in the Loan bill, 1t Is well
to look into the comparative amounts
which will be thus given to the various
counties. The taxable values. real and
personal, for the two counties of Ha-
wall, are not available, but those for
the islands will give an appreciable es-
innate.
Taking the appraisement OF 1902, when
the real and personal property in the
islands was listed at 1922, 500, as the
basis OF the calculation the various
islands would fare thus, in the division
of the excess Of the amounts to be
placed in the Loan bill above those
sums needed for the Territorial works:
Oahu, IS per cent; Hawaii, 22h per
cent; Maui, liz per cent; Kauai. III
per cent. = a" r-'''''''' -
II on the same basis the Loan bill Is
made for $2.500.000. and. that would be
at the rate of per cent. for each year,
as permitted by the Organic Act, there
would be then first taken from the total
the. amounts for wharves and docks,
harbors and lights, for prisons and asy-
lunis, for schools and public buildings
and then would come the scramble for
the remainder.
OF the amounts to be expended for
purely territorial purposes the greatest
amount probably will be that which will
be needed for the harbor OF Honolulu.
1t Is demonstrable that IL the city is to
be kept in the line of the best going in
the way of shipping, then there must
be the very best harbor here and the
dock facilities must be improved. 1t
would be the best possible investment
If a half million should be applied to
these purposes What with a new in
sane asylum, new prison and the
schools which are absolutely needed, an
other half million would be readily con-
sumed.
Should the total of a million and a |
half be apportioned to the various dis
tricts, for the amounts are to be taken |
over by the several senatorial subdivis- |
ions, the sums by islands would be as |
follows: Oahu, sS25,0OO; Hawaii, $751;
500; Maui, $172 500; Kauai, s165000.
1t is safe to say that there will be a
hard time in dividing this money, for
the resolutions already presented ask
ing for appropriations would cover the
amount several times over, and the
members Of the Legislature will find
themselves in a hard hole, when it
comes to satisfying themselves as to
the proper placing of the amounts.

There Is some doubt as to whether the

questions raised call for the construc-
ton OF the Organic Act. which would
come before Judge Estee. while on the

that the Senate has right to rename

ton. Evidently the success OF the pre-
vious Senate in imposing such worthless

CHARGED WITH LARCENY


Charles Johnson, captain of the
barge Telephone, was arrested yester-
day afternoon upon complaint made
against him by James Hall, agent for
the McWilliams Towboat Company.
This morning he was committed to
the county Jail in default of $500 bail
to await the action of the grand jury
on charge of grand larceny. John
son is accused of stripping his boat of
it's ropes and hawsers and selling it to
a junkman.
When Mr.. Hall first called the
attention of Chief Burke to the matter
yesterday morning, that officer i'm
mediately recognized the name and
produced picture of the man taken
from his own rogues gallery. The
records showed that he had been
arrested for similar offense on
August 10, 1901. The man, however,
was never indicted by the grand Jury
as the evidence was not strong enough
against him. This time, however,
the police say they have strong case
against him and they hope to convict.

DEMANDS that
SCHOOL BOARD
BE DISMISSED.

Mayor Charles K. Seaman has writ
ten letter to the State Superintend-
ent of Public Instruction demanding
the immediate dismissal of the mem
bers of the local Board of Education
on the grounds that the way the board
now exists is illegal.
The Mayor says he is tired of the
way things have been going on and
will see if something cannot be done
to relieve the situation. He expects
to hear from the State Superintendent
very shortly and says he hopes the
State board will take the matter up.
"All desire is Board of Educa-
ton legally organized, said the
Mayor, in conversation this morning.
81 want them to have the proper
officials who can be recognized as
such. The present board has had
plenty of time to do all that the pub
lie demands of them and failing to do
this, believe it my place to act. "
In sending the letter to the State
officials Mr.. Seaman said he had simply
stated the circumstances and request
ed their dismissal The State super
intendent has the power to dismiss
any or all of the members after giving
them hearing. If the board is dis
missed the Board of Aldermen has the
power to select their successors. This
brings politics into the matter and
would undoubtedly result in placing
the Democrats in power.
At the special meeting of the board,
summoned by President pro tenn, Poul-
sen, last night, the Republican mem
bers, as predicted in the News yester-
day, played what they think will be
the trump card when they passed a
warrant for the payment of a $1,000
warrant in favor of Contractor Ira 4.
Grouse as part payment on the new
public school. This will be signed
by the president pro tenn. Commits
sioner Kitchel placed himself on
record as against it.
The question of its legality can be
determined by action in court taken
by Mr.. Grouse. Whether he will
carry it to the courts or not is not
known, but the members who passed
it hope that he will. Should this be
done the decision would decide the
fate of the teachers warrants as we'll
as all the other warrants, which have
been held up by Comptroller Voorhees,
as the result of the board s failure to
elect president.
The Mayors action has placed
new phase on the matter and the out
come of his letter to the State Super
intendent is awaited with interest.

LEAP AT NEWARK.
Frank ROsOski Who Was Sent to
Hospital in That City Jumps
from a Window.

Frank Rososki, fifty years old, of
this city, jumped yesterday from a
four-story window of the City Hospi-
tai at Newark, and was instantly
killed.
Rososki underwent last January a
painful operation for his eyes at the
Eye and Ear Infirmory. Afterward he
jumped from the third -story window
of the infirmary andlbroke both legs.
He was taken to the City Hospital
and had been there ever since. He
had improved so that he was able to
walk about the hospital on crutches.
