Superintendent Cooper denied that
there was any secrecy intended about

Nothing but preliminary negotiations
had taken place and he had only noti-
fed the Commissioner Of Public Lands
of the proposals that morning.
"They will be submitted to the exec

OLD BILL TURNS UP
AT THE TREASURY

One OF the earliest greenbacks issued
by the government of Hawaii was re-
Gently turned into the Territorial treas
ury or redemption. 1t was fifty dol
lar certificate of deposit and was given
to the Bank OF Hawaii in change and
then turned over to Treasurer Keuoi-
kai. The certificate is believed to have
been one OF the first issued by the gov
ernment in King Kalakaua's time. 1t
bears no date but is signed by Simon
kapena as Minister OF Finance and +.
5, Pratt as Registrar of Public Ac-
counts These officials served in the
early eighties.
Very few OF these bills have been
turned In lately for redemption. Alto
gether there was an issue of s3l2, 900
which was redeemable In silver. or
this amount all but $4,000 has been re-
deemed and II is believed that the re-
mainder win never be offered for re-
iemption, The most plausible theory
that the greater part OF the money
sun unredeemed was destroyed in the
chinatown fire.

KAUArS ELECTION
STILL IN DOUBT

The election on Kauai is still in
doubt owing to the failure to receive
the result of the vote on Niihau and
up to the time the w. G.. Hall left Ma
wiliwili no news had been received
from there. The only oftise left in
doubt was that of county attorney, for
which J. D. willard was the Repub-
lican aspirant. He was % votes be-
hind the Home Rule candidate.
Nihau has about SS votes, but it was
believed that several of the voters
were on the island of Kauai at the
time of the election, and therefore the
number of votes cast is speculative.
1t is believed that the majority of
these votes will be cast for Willard,
but a detection of three or four votes
would destroy his chances.
The weather in the Niihau channel
has been very rough for the past
week, and no boats have ventured to
cross 1t. When the weather quiets
down the news will be received.

Land at Pololu, Kohala, and taro land
H. E. Cooper, Superintendent of Pub
lie Works, yesterday gave an Adver-
tiser reporter a statement OF the land
exchanges he intends to submit to the
executive council tomorrow. He has re-
quested Governor Dole to convene the
meeting In special session for this pur-
pose at o'clock in the morning. The
reauisition for the public lands in ques-
ton was sent to F.. S. Boyd, Commits
sioner of Public Lands, yesterday
morning. Following Is the schedule OF
transactions proposed:
in Pauoa, Honolulu, to be exchanged
for land at Nuuanu avenue and Pauoa
road wanted for n public park. This
proposition has been previously approv-
ed by the council.
A lot at Beretania, Miller and Vine
yard streets is wanted as sites for the
n. G. II. armory and the Royal school
building. The land proposed to be CIV
en- in exchange therefor is at Aiea, be-
ing part of the Honolulu plantation.
The basis of exchange value is $4,000
on each side. though the trustees OF

No LAW FOR
CONTESTS
Home Rulers Have No
Remedy in the
Courts.

In the opinion of different gentlemen
learned in the law, there IS no legal
provision extant in the Territory Of Ha-
wall for contesting an election, county
or other. 1t is true that the County Act
contains the following provisions:
Section Asa. Save as herein other
wise provided, any candidate for any
county office may contest any election
therefor in the manner provided by law.
"Sec. 455. In all contests relative to
county officers, the petition required by
law to be filed in the Supreme Court
shall be filed in the Circuit Court in
such county, and such Circuit Court
shall have such jurisdiction relative to
such contests as Is given to ihe Su-
preme Court by law. 1t shall report its
finding and judgment relative thereto
to the Board Of Supervisors of the
county, which shall have the same
powers relative thereto as are by law
vested in the Minister of the Interior
So far so good. But 1t appears the
claw" quoted to govern elections and
contests thereof does not exist.
The Organic Act, in Sec. Z, expressly
repeals the constitution of the Republic
chapters, and sections of civil laws,
penal laws, and session laws, of said
Republic. Among these laws repealed
by the Act of Congress Aforesaid is the
entire election law of the Re)ublic of
Hawaii. The Legislature of the Ter
ritory, it would appear, has lever en-
acted a complete substitute for the
election law thus repealed. It would
therefore seem that the certificates of
election issued upon the face # the re-
turns by the Secretary of the territory
are final and not legally subject to re-
view by any tribunal in the Territory.
According to the Bulletin, the Home
Rulers of Oahu county have decided
to file papers Of protest again:t the re-
cent county election on Mondiy next,
and it Is further stated by he same
authority, that:
THE intention is to go direc ly to the
Supreme Court. No demand tor a new
election will be made. A recount is
what Is desired.
while the papers have ben drawn
up, some slight changes are necessary
and it is thought that Mondiy will be
plenty of time for the filing of these.
The Home Rulers are proceeding very
slowly, as they desire to leav. no stone
unturned."
How the Home Rulers can go direct
ly to the Supreme Court" II the face
of the County Acts specific direction
that the petition shall be fed in the
Circuit Court, requires a Bone Rule
mentality to comprehend. tits perhaps
not so difficult, though, as tie problem
of how any petition can be filed any
where, as required by law" while
there is no law requiring a petition to
be filed anywhere.
The County Act provided for county
elections, and specifically for the first
one just held, therefore is 4 law unto
itself so far as the legality Of the cleo
ton is concerned. In matters where it
adopts parts of the laws repealed by
the Organic Act, however, ID is non-ef-
fective.

WHY They Left,

Leslie w. Quirk in Lippincott's Magtr-
zine: This talk about perpetual notion
said the colonel, as he seated himself in
the office of the hotel with an air Of pro-
prietorship, this talk about perpetual
motion always reminds me Of n little Gu
riosity along similar lines out in the
canyon OF the Colorado river. Want 10
hear about II?
The river out there, you understand,
slides along between two walls Of solid
rock. Well, one day an eastern chap al-
lowed his boat TO drift over q sharp point
and he was dumped into the river. The
water caught him up and carried him into
the heart OF the rocks. Well, gentlemen,
that poor chap called and called for help
as he swept down tbs river. He might
have known that only the rocks could
hear him. and that no human being could
aid him. Just the same he called for help
again and again.
Now, in ono part Of the canyo both
sides of the river are solid rock, sort OF
scooped out, and coming together, almost,
at the top and bottom. Concave? Yes,
thank you, that's the word was trying
to recall. Well, gentlemen, that poor
eastern chap came to this place. He was
still calling out In a scared voice, Help!
help!' Naturally. the rock on one side
caught up the SOUND and sent it back as
an echo, strong and clear. This echo re-
bounded from the opposite site and came
back to the starting point just as loud as,
as when it first-hrst-well, echoed.
"And gentlemen, you can believe me or
not, but it's a gospel fact hat the echo
has been ~rebounding from wall to wall,
like a ping-pong ball, for nearly ten years
now; Just as loud, just as natural, as
when II began. Yes, sir, and. What!
not going, gentlemen, are your
