The situation is gratifying to Amer

European who cannot understand the
proposition of atnation refusing to
follow up an advantage certain to be
gained by taking sides. Europe looks
TOR an ulterior motive other than what
is stated in the American stand and is
surprised when none is found.
In the discussion OF general war

Otherwise 1t will hold TO its old time

HOLLOWAY READY

As soon as possible, work will be
started on the new government stables
IN Kakaako. the site chosen being
close to Lord & Belser's stables. The
plans have all been prepared and all
that binders now is the state OF the
weather. ....
The stables are to be 353-150 feet
and provision will be made for 140
stalls for mules and horses, besides
sheds and other necessary buildings.
1t Is the present plan of the Super
tendent of Public Works to join the
garbage and road department stables
into one Just as he has combined the
two offices running these respective
departments. Mr. Holloway is certain
that this will result in a great saving
OF money to the government.
Mr.. Holloway stated to Bulletin
reporter this morning that he had
planned to have the hall of records
placed where the road department
STABLES now stand. He does not think
that this Is proper place for the arm.

OF records is much more important
and therefore should receive the very

As to site for the new armory, Mr..
Holloway said he was living in hopes
that the government would be given
back the present site for the military.
1t was perfectly adapted to the pur-
poses and should the matter be viewed
In the proper light at Washington, the
land would very probably be returned.

1t was said this morning that unfor-
seen complications had arisen in the
matter of one or two of the indictments
which were to have been returned and
that further investigation was neces-
sary before a report could be made.
There were varying rumors as to the
nature OF these complications. one was
to the effect that several material wit
nesses were weatherbound and infor-
nation was not complete In relation to
some cases; another, that a surprise
had been sprung on the jury in the
form of statement by some knowing
one, duplicating additional parties in
a criminal affair.
1t is stated with considerable assur-
ance that there will be more than one
indictment in the matter of the House
OF Representatives, vouchers.
Now ii is intimated that indictments
in this connection will be returned on
Tuesday next, although the full report
on the vouchers affair will not be ready
until the grand jury makes its final re-
port to Judge Robinson.
Three indictments are limited at in
re House vouchers; at the same time
this hint conveys with 1t the fact that
true bills were found only after the
greatest difficulty.
All the morning was taken up, it is
understood, with alteration In the re-
port, alteration necessitated by the
unforeseen complications above referred
to.

MERCHANTS ASK WHY

Mr.. Kepoikai replied that this was so,
but that the receipts were coming in
very slowly. OF the estimated re-
ceipts for February (s77,OO0) there
was $4,000 still to come and II was
already past the middle of the month.
For the past ten years, the receipts
for February had never fallen below
$4,000 but he was afraid that they
would go below this for the present
year.
Continuing. Mr.. Kepoikai said he
could see why the bankers had refused
to take the registered warrants. The
question of the validity of the appro-
priations had naturally arisen. There
was vast difference of opinion as to
preparations and was natural for the
bankers to ask: Where are we at?"
There is but one course to pursue"
said Mr.. Kepoikai. "a test case must
be brought and when basis is decided
on the banks will be willing to ad-
vance the money. | can then go to
them and get $4,000 in cash and
Sl5O.000 through treasury warrant,
as the law provides. can always bor-
row that amount, providing the COVER
nor gives his sanction.
With the 100000 and curtailed ex-
penses in the department, there would
not be as much as 100000 in registered
warrants at the end of the year, TAX
! ing 1t for granted that the heads of de-
partments will take my advice and
curtail their expenses. believe the
only course left Is to secure an immed-
late test In the Supreme Court.
There is one bad feature about this
whole thing. Heads of departments
might not heed my warning. They
might authorize expenditures up to the
fun limit designated by the legisla-
ture. The warrants would be issued
and would have to register them.
There would be nothing else to do.
Thus the country could be placed in a
terrible dilemma"
Mr.. Lowrey asked the Treasurer II
he would accept the registered war
rants in payment for taxes and Mr..
Kepoikai replied that he would under
certain circumstances and that he had
so instructed the Assessor. When
taxes came up to the amounts indi-

Heads of departments could go aheat
and authorize the expenditure of some

| CAN Be SUED ON

Unanimous decision of the Terrific
rial Supreme Court, handed down this
morning, sustains the judgments of
the Waikiki District Court and the
Circuit Court rendered for plaintiff in
James N. K. Keola, deputy assessor
of taxes for the District of Wailuku,

defendants exceptions.
Syllabus and opinion are as follows
and are written ny Associate Justice
Perry: --
An assessor of taxes may sue for UNI
paid taxes assessed by his predecessor
in Office as well as for those assessed
during his incumbency.
Assessment books or tax rolls are
admissible in evidence in support of
an assessors claim for delinquent
taxes assessed prior to the PLAINTIFF s
incumbency.
An action OF assumpsit for delin-
quent taxes may be brought by an as.

made by means of which merchandise
stocks were subject to a discount rath-
err than being assessed at the value at
which they might stand. This would
make a considerable difference in val
ultion and hence in the taxes paid in.
Mr.. Wakefield asked about the re.
Fisher replied that he did not believe
there would be much Of a change.
Continuing, Mr.. Fisher stated that
the present financial condition Of the
Government was due to over appro-
priations by the Legislature. For years
back, on the first day Of January there
was always a substantial balance on
hand to start in on. The Legislature
had appropriated beyond the estimated
revenues of the country and the pres.
ent year started out with nothing In
the Treasury. One thing the Legisla.
ture did was to insert an appropriation
of $4,000 for the Hackfeld wharf In
the Current Expense Bill instead Of
putting II in the Loan Bill, where 1t
properly belonged. This shortened
tho balance at tbe beginning of the
year by just so much.
