SWEEPING OPINION RENDERED BY ATTORNEY
GENERAL ANDREWS, HOLDING THAT COVER
NOR DOLE COULD NOT AND THEREFORE DID
NOT LEGALLY REMOVE JAMES H. BOYD.

Attorney General Andrews has rendered opinion the
effect that James Fl. Boyd is entitled his salary Supern
tenden of Public Works during the period when he removed
by the Governor before the Senate approved such action The
opinion only holds that the attempted removal illegal
but that Superintendent Coopers ncumbency all prob
ability illegal and under this of the acts
by Cooper before he regularly commissioned may attack
ed The opinion is in reply inquiry from Colonel J. H.
Fisher, Auditor, and follows:
Under the Organic Act the position OF Superintendent of
Public Works has dignity unknown the Republic of Hawaii
and is beyond question that the intention OF Congress
position vestng the Office with of the pow
duties heretofore attached the Department of Public
Works. and few of the powers and duties belonging other
offices under the old government.
"We therefore, look the Organic Act alone for the
mode of appointment and removal Section 80 provides
that the Governor shall nominate and by and with the advice and
OF the Senate appoint among Others the Superintendent
of Public Works The section provides that he by
with the advice and of the Senate of the Territory OF
Hawaii Office OF such officers, among whom
the Superintendent OF Public Works.
This section provides the sole method by which the Super
Public Works be removed and it has been held
repeatedly that where the power OF removal is vested the Gov
ernor by and with the OF the Senate necessary
legal removal that there be joint action of the two Further
held that where the appointment requires the approval
of the Senate with nothing said removal such vacancy
as will authorize Governor fill without the
of the Senate can caused only by death the resignation of
the incumbent during recess of the Senate.
seems clear therefore that the Superintendent OF Public
Works be removed without the consent OF the Senate

NOT FAVORABLE
TO EXEMPTION
SENATE SHOWED SOME OPPOST-
TIoN TO THE MEASURE TO
FAVOR COFFEE AND RAMIE.

There was some opposition shown in
the Senate this morning to Senator
Paris bill exempting, from taxation
for a period of five years lands used in
the cultivation of coffee and ramle.
The measure was reported favorably
today by the committees on ways and
means. Senator Baldwin the chair
man of the committee called attention
to the fact however that the property
tax amounted 10 only $1,000 in both
Konas and If the coffee laNds and ra-
mie lands were to be exempted there
might be little left to tax.
Senator Achi expressed himself as
opposed to granting the exemption. He
said he had coffee lands in Kona too.
Senator McCandless said that Sem
ator Paris wanted about $720 900 for ap-
preparations for roads and other things
yet the Konas paid only SIS 900 in
taxes. Senator Cecil Brown said that
they should be careful in the matter OF
this exemption as they might have a
bankrupt county on their hands.
Senator Paris referred to the need Of
encouraging the two. industries and
said that If the industries were en-
couraged' the lands would increase in
value. He said that there We're more
ranch lands in the Kona than coffee
lands.
The report was finally tabled TO be
considered with the bill

ing that the Organic Act be amended

RAILROADS.
UNION PACIFIC
AFTER ALTON
DEPOSITS OF ALTON CALLED FOR
THAT SALE MAY BE MADE.
Sale to Be to the Union Pacific Giving
that Road Its Own Line to Chicago
Ia Move to Meet the Morgan-Hill
Interests.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
New York, Dec. 29.-E. H. Harri-t
man has planned to extend the Union
Pacific into Chicago. The scheme to
repeat the effort to Check the Nor
gan-Hill combination, after a failure
ern Pacific contest and the resultant
panic of May 9, 1901, is the first at
tempt of the Hartman party to oppose
aggressively the Northern Securities
group Of railroads.
Mr.. Harrimans plan is to vest abso-
lutte control of the Chicago & Alton
railroad in the Union Pacific. That is
the line which now affords to the I'm
ion Pacific a connection between Kan
sas City, one of it's eastern terrnini,
and Chicago, and which virtually is it's
principal link between Chicago and
the Pacific coast. The only other con-
nection which the Union Pacific has
east from the Missouri river is by traf-
f1c agreement from Omaha to Chicago
over railroads which it controls
neither absolutely nor Indirectly.
The first step toward the absorption
by the Union Pacific Of the Chicago &
Alton was discovered to-day in an Of
ferred stock that a sale of it might be
| made. The notice was issued by the
banking house of Kuhn, Loeb & Co.,
who>notified holders of the preferred
stocks of the Chicago & Alton that
large amount Of the stock had been
deposited with them subject to an
agreement authorizing its sale on or
before September so next upon such
terms and at such a price as may be
| approved by a committee consisting of
John Stewart, Edward H. Hartman
| and John j. Mitchell. Holders Of the
stock who desire to participate in any
sale which may be made under the
q 1sn to 1ni1
! stock at once with the bankers, who
| reserve the right to terminate the
| privilege at any time. Deposits will
receive transferable receipts emitting
them to a pro rata share of the net
profits of any sale, and in case no sale
| is made their stock will be returned
without expense.
1T will be noticed that this request is
made for deposit only of preferred
stock, but it is known that ,the COM
mlttee owns and controls enough Of
the common stock to pass control Of
Pthe railroad which has a share capital
| of 100000 preferred stock and
$20.ooo,ooo common stock.
! The completion of the contemplated
deal will give to the Union Pacific a
thru line from Chicago to the Pacific
coast, and will make it a competitor
| for all thru business over it's own lines
| with the Morgan-Hill combination of
| railroads.
! One Of the parties to the deal, who
requested that his name be withhold
confirmed the statement that a sale~of
the Chicago & Alton was contem-
plated, but refused to say that the line
would be sold to the Union Pacific the
logical purchaser.
Eyes, a sale of the Alton is pro-
posed he said, "but it would be i'm
polite to reveal the name of The pur-
chaser. It would be Of no public ben
eft. OF course, we have a purchaser
in view. No, it will do no good to
name a probable buyer, as shall not
give even an intimation"

4 BRILLIANT
Z CATHOLIC EVENT
ANNUAL BANQUET OF THE,
KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS.
Addresses Delivered by Archbishop
Ireland and Bishop Spaulding Of
Peoria-.The Archbishop's Praise of
the Order-The Attendance Large.

''If the knights of Columbus had
done nothing else than establish the
spirit of fraternity, they would thoro-
ly merit our esteem and appreciation"
said Archbishop Ireland, before a
representative gathering of Catholics
at the annual banquet of the knights
Of Columbus held at the West Hotel
last night.
In point of attendance, in bril-
Hancy Of decoration and perfection of
service, and in the prominence Of the
guests Of the evening, last nights
gathering of the knights was regarded
) by those Of the fraternity as the most
important social function which has
interested Catholic circl"s for many
years.
In addition to Archbishop Ireland
the banqueters had the honor of meet
ing and listening to Bishop Spaulding
of Peoria, one Of the most eloquent
and famous of the men in the Roman
Catholic church in America.
Archbishop Ireland in his address
the Knights, and dWelt particularly
on the possibilities lying within the
fraternity for the building of a new
edifce for the Church of the Immacu-
late Conception, altho he did not
mention the church by name. Among
other things he said: 8st.
THE priests cannot fight the battles
alone. 1t is very important that a
high, tone of citizenship should be
built up among the laity. The laity is
more numerous, they mingle together
more, they are the soldiers of the
church, and are responsible for more
than the clergy in the end, think.
II have watched the knights of Co.
1umbus, and bear willing testimony tc
the good they have done. I have beer
thrown in contact with st. Pau
Catholics more closely than those OF
Minneapolis, because there used to be
a time when Minneapolis was a grea1
distance from my residence, and il
took nearly all day to travel from the
Merchants hotel to st. Anthony. Now
