FIRE CUTS
CHINESE STORE

Fire almost totally destroyed the
wooden one-story structure at the cor
ner OF Wilder Avenue and Keeaumoku
street, about $3.50 o'clock last night.
The building was formerly occupied by
the Washington Mercantile Company,
and recently by n Chinese named zee
Kin. The MakilIi fire department re-
sponded to the alarm and i'm half an
hour had the flames extinguished. The
interior. especially the living quarters,
We're Quilted.
Last evening Yee Kin attended a
church down town, leaving his wife.
San Kyau, otherwise known as Eva,
and two children on the premises. The
children were playing in the store dur
ing the evening, two lamps being used
to light the place. Later in the even
ing all went outside and sat on Il bench
to wait for the proprietor to return.
AT this time the fire started, and 1t is
believed that some fabric in close
proximity to one OF the lamps caught
fire. In moment the interior was n
mass of flames. The kitchen and living
quarters were completely destroyed.
There is n small insurance carried by
the proprietor. The building Is owned
by a Hawaiian named Kalealihi.

COUNTY ACT
TEST CASE
Water Works Of Other
Towns Are Not
Involved.

Treasurer Kepoikai's Injunction suit
to restrain C. s. Holloway. Superin-
tendent Of Public Works, and Andrew
Brown, Superintendent of Water
Works, from handing over the Homo
lulu water plant to the Board of SUI
pervisors of the County of Oahu, comes
before Judge De Bolt this morning.
Whether there will be a stipulation
between the parties for a pro forma de-
cision either way. SO as to hasten refer
ence OF the case to the Supreme Court,
remains to be seen. A temporary in
junction cannot be appealed. Judge De
Bolt will therefore have to make the
writ absolute or dismiss It in whatever
decision he renders.
Referring to talk about the water
works of Hilo, Waikiki and other
towns, Treasurer Kepoikai said yes
terday that those plants were not in
volved at all in the proceedings he had
instituted. The water works of those
places were built with the money OF
the Territory since its institution on
June IS, 1900. They are therefore not
included in the property transferred by
the Organic Act to the ownership OF
the United States, like the Honolulu
Water Works, and of which the Ter
ritory has the use and benefit by sur
ferance Of the Federal Government.

COST OF JURY
IN JONES TRIAL

The account of the Union Grill for
meals furnished to the jury in the
Jones murder case was submitted to
Judge Gear by Baillff w. S. Ellis. 1t
amounted to s6O9.5O.
Gan extras are disallowed," Judge
Gear wrote and signed on the margin.
The sum of s3S for extras was there
fore deducted, and the account approx
ed for s571.5O.
From the calling of the first jurors
who stayed until the verdict was rem
dered the time is estimated at an aver
age of eighteen days, which, at 81 a
day for the twelve men, makes the jury
fees for them s432. AS $50 men were
called and examined for cause. the at
tendance fees for all who were excused
are to be counted. This would make
the fees alone, in connection with the
trial, about $500.
The account of the Hawaiian Hotel
Co. for lodging the twelve jurors and
three officers has not yet been present
ed. All told the expense of the jury
alone in the Jones trial will amount
to between 5000 and $500.

facts which 1 trust you will publish:
"a That our tax return January

in cash, as you will be able to ascer-
tain by comparison with our previous
returns.
(O That the payment was made by
us at a sacrifice OF actual profits, as
we could have kept the money in San
Francisco or New York at two per
cent interest until the sailing of the
Alameda from San Francisco Jan.

go That no banker would UNDER
take to collect money for the govern
ment at cost of a quarter of one
per cent and then pay the government
tax of one per cent for doing 1t.
(D That knowing there was strong
objection In certain high official quar-
ters to this bank being given any of
this business, we decided to be pre-
pared to pay over the money on re-
ceipt. of telegraphic information that
the draft had been paid.
90 That our action in paying over
the money to the treasurer has stop
ped the discount OF loan warrants is
sued by the Territorial Auditor to
contractors and others and puts the

We think, hardly calls for unfavorable

hILO WANTS
A DELEGATE

In Hilo Republican political circles
there has been some sharp comment
called out by the fact that this Island
was not given representation among
departments. However Hilo Repub-
leans take their medicine, bear no
malice and look to the future to bring
them laurels. Already thoughts are
evolving relative to the convention to
select delegates to the National Repub-
lican Convention. There is a feeling
here that Hilo should ask for this con-
vention and be given chance TO show
the delegates from the other Islands a
little of Hilo spirit. This Island has
It down on the slate to secure repre-
sentation on the delegation to the Ma
tional Convention. Hilo politicians
have been heard to say that the power
full ones at Honolulu must heed this
Islands reasonable ambitions. The
suggestion has been made that the peo-
pie of Hilo agree upon a man whose
name should be presented to the Ter
ritorial Convention for place on the
delegation. The Territorial Executive
Committee should consider the desire
of Hilo to have the convention and the
delegates to the convention should not
forget that the Big Island is entitled to

ton. Especially should We be II good

GIVE THEM
PREFERENCE
Carriers Attitude on
Home Patronage
Question.

Governor Carriers attitude on the
home patronage question raised by the
Builders and Traders Exchange Is
perfectly satisfactory to that body. A
report by w. w. Harris for the COM
mittee was made last evening at
directors meeting and was accepted
as satisfactory. Mr.. Harris reported
that the committee had been given
courteous reception by the Governor
and he had conceded that the position
OF the Exchange was well taken. He
had informed the committee that he
wished to disabuse its members Of the
opinion that the administration in
tended to call for bids on public works
from the mainland. AS long as the
local bids were reasonable, and there
was no combination to control prices
local bidders would be given the pref
erence. The Governor also stated
that 1t was his view that the loan fund
should be spent among the citizens of
the Territory as much as possible and
as long as excessive prices were not
asked he would protect local bidders.
The Exchange also took up the con-
sideration Of complaint made by
contractors against the method now
obtaining in getting bids. On school,

IMMIGRANT STATION.

The construction of the immigrant
station for Hawaii also remains in
statu quo. Executive officer kempner
stated today that the matter of formally
transferring the title to the site from
the Navy Department was still hang
ing fire. There is. of course, no effort
to hasten the matter because OF the
apparent impossibility of fastening the
work on the construction. Members OF
Congress and Senators from many
states are plying the supervising
architects office with requests tor the
early construction of buildings author
lied in their own localities by the last
Congress and there is vast accumula..
ton of work which it will take several
months to clear away.

HAWAIIAN POSTOFFICES.
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Bristow has prepared list of gross
receipts of all postoffices bv states and
territories. This shows that the gross
receipts in Hawaii for the last fiscal
year were $II7,o22.36. This includes,
not only the presidential offices, figures
for which were given in recent letter.
but also the fourth-class postoffices. The
average expenditure per capita for mail
material, was therefore 70 cents in Ha-
wall, which thus ranks welt down to-
wards the foot of the list. The average
expenditure per capita in New York.
which heads the list, is $2.oS. There
are 81 postoffices all told in the territory
of Hawaii, which in the average ex-
penditure per capita, ranks 44th being
just below the average in Tennessee
and just above the average expendi-
ture in Indian Territory. The territory
ranks 55th in the number of its post
offices with the states and other terri
tories of the union.
There has never been but one petit
ton from the islands for the establish
ment of rural free delivery route,
says Mr. Bristow. That petition was
reported upon adversely.
Hawaii has So postofices, where mon
ey orders are issued and "a postoffices
where there are no money orders is
sued. These are solely fourth class
postoffices, where the postmasters are
appointed by the Fourth Assistant and
not by the President.
There is much favorable comment
here over the conservative character Of
the immigration and labor committees
of the House, just announced by Speak
err Cannon Heretofore Speakers have
been careless in the makeup of those
committees, which made annoyance
from ill-advised legislation on the sub
jects of immigration and labor, both
vital to the territory of Hawaii, easy.
AS things look now that will not be
so easy in the House hereafter and
there will not be any necessity OF so
much reliance upon the Senate to stop
bad legislation.
