STORY OF
A BOND
II. Kapea sold One for
Four Hundred
Dollars.

Henry Kapea, the fugitive embez-
zler of the Hawaiian Trust Company,
is believed to be on his way to Japan
| in the steamer China. He could not
have gone to the coast on the Siberia
as he was seen several times after the
big liner departed for San Francisco
last Saturday.
No matter where Kapea is, IL he Is
alive, and the police can reach him,
the Hawaiian Trust Company intends
bringing him back to Honolulu and
giving him his just deserts. Mr.. Gait
said yesterday afternoon:
I'VE will bring him back here If we
can lay our hands on him alive. We
will endeavor to have the punishment
visited upon him that he deserves"
| On Saturday afternoon Kapea went
to the Hub Clothing Company and pur-
chased cloth cap. stockings and va
rious articles which one generally Sc
lects for travelling. The idea that he
would not purchase such articles in
which TO commit suicide, is one of the
strong points in favor of the theory
that he has left the territory a very
much alive man.
Kapea had plenty of money it is be-
lieved. He admitted to Mr.. Gait of
having stolen, or appropriated, 500 to
his own use, which he had received as
rentals from an estate for which the
Trust Company is agent. But that was
in December.
There is graver charge hanging
over Kapea, and it is this new mat
ter which has come to light, which
gives color to the story that Kapea
had sufficient money for him to have
bought steamer passage and 10 main
tain himself in considerable style for
awhile.
On Saturday, according to Mr.. Calls
version, Kapea negotiated the sale of
an Oahu Railway & Land Company
bond valued at $500, which had been
taken from the Company's safe. He
took it to a broker and agreed to dis
pose Of it at discount offering it for
$500. AT that time nothing was known
about Kapea's dishonest dealings, and
the bond appeared to be one which
they had as much right to purchase as
any other. The broker took it to an
other broker and both went to the
Trust Company and ascertained that
it was all right. They thereupon pur-
chased it, giving Kapea $500 in cash.
After it was ascertained that Kapea
had disappeared the brokers went at
once to Mr.. Calf and told of the man
ner in which they had obtained the
bond. Just what will be done in the
premises concerning the ownership of
the bond is not now clear.
There is little credence given to the
suicide theory, despite Kapea's dra-
matte announcement of his plan.

Thrum Lot IL Acquired.

BY an important purchase of real
estate in the midst of one of the Oldest
residence districts, the Honolulu Rapid
Transit and Land Company, Limited,
extends the borders of it's operating
plants. =
Thomas G. Thrum has sold his home
stead extending from Beretania to
Young street, behind the Rapid Transit
Co.'S power house and car barns, to
that company for the consideration of
fifteen thousand dollars.
1t is the intention of the Rapid Tran
sit Co. to extend it's car barns and
workshops back upon the Thrum lot.
Mr.. Thrum has lived upon the prem
ises just sold by him for many years,
there bringing up his family in quiet
comfort. The transaction illustrates
the steady expansion of the business
part of Honolulu. Pleasant as the
homes upon the plains have been, the
breezy hills and cool wales of the en-
virons are fast becoming the choice of
the majority. The growth of the bust
ness demand for territory gives one
after another of the older families the
opportunity of making the change
without property sacrifice. AT the
same time the electric cars bring the
once distant parts now being occupied
by homes within convenient access of
the business section.

A SIMPLE SYSTEM
OF GOVERNMENT

Editor Advertiser: What is the SIM
plest government compatible with the
American system which could be &C.
vised for this Territory-the simplest
and cheapest?
The executive officers of the Terri
tory would be a Governor and Secre-
tary, performing such duties as, for
convenience and economy's sake, 1t
would be better to entrust to a central
authority.
The Delegate in Congress and tie
judiciary would be retained and the
Legislature abolished.
The Territory would be sub-organize,l
as one county and six townships-two
townships on Oahu, two on Hawaii, one
on Maui and one on Kauai, each repre-
scented by a Supervisor who would be
eX-officio chairman of an unsalaried
Board of Township Trustees vested
with the legislative and administrative
work Of it's locality. The Supervisors
would meet as a board for thirty days
twice year at a salary of IS per day
each. They would have charge of
taxation, public improvements. police.
jails, schools general legislation, ETC.,
each acting in purely local matters with
his Board of Trustees.
The Boards of Trustees would be I'M
salaried so as to secure the services of
public-splrited and responsible men.
To prevent deadlocks in the Board of
Supervisors a yisor-at- Large
should be elected.
Following a mainland method def
mite legal limit should be devised for
taxation as we'll as borrowing, COM
polling the counties to live within their
means.
With some such system as this Ha-
wall would soon be out OF debt and pos
sessed of gold reserve.

Division No. /, Honolulu, of the An
Gent Order of Hibernians in America,
will celebrate their first st. Patrick's
Day on next Thursday, March 18th,
and it is proposed to make it memoir
able one in the annals of the local Divi-
sion. The Society, which is one of the
largest in the United States, observes
the day throughout the Union, and the
branch in Honolulu does not propose to
be outdone by any of them.
The Division proposes to attend mass
at the Cathedral in the morning at Z
o'clock, assembling at the hall and
marching to the church in body, with
the green flag of old Erin In the van.
In the evening, Progress Hall will be
the scene of the festivities. A literary

manner in Honolulu, and 1t is the aim
of those in charge that everybody shall
have a nice, quiet, enjoyable time.
The Irish are noted for their
wholesouled hospitality and good
nature the world over and on no dav
is it more in evidence than on the day
of all days to the sons of the Emerald
Isle-the 18th of March.

that the assistant garbage collector is

sanitary spots in our delightful city.
am very glad that Mr. Allan Herbert
has spoken of the imperative need of
keeping up the collection of garbage.
1t is very much needed in our other

cleaning of the city was to go on, es-
peclally where the poorest of the poor
people, TO whom nine dollars $1,000 a
year tax to be paid the Department of
Public Works for collecting garbage

BRILLIANT BALL
IN HONOR OF
18TH INFANTRY

Not since the opening of the Alex
ander Young Hotel has the Roof Gar
den been the rendezvous of such large
and brilliant gathering of Honolulu
.ownsfolk as last evening on the occa-
sion of the concert and ball given In
honor of Col. John w. Bubb and the
officers and ladies of the Twelfth Uni
ted States Infantry from the transport
Sherman. n
Brilliant with hundreds of multi-col-
ored electric globes, gay with the blue
and white uniforms of the infantry
officers and the summary dresses of the
fair sex, and with clear star-lit sky
above, the breeZe-swept Roof Garden
was an ideal place for the nights rev.
els. So great was the attendance that
the promenades even We're taxed FOR
standing room. The Roof fairly
hummed with conversation and rppled
with laughter.
The Twelfth Infantry band gave an
excellent concert on the Roof from 1880
TO 10, every number being heartily ap-
plauded The selections ranged from
opera TO popular airs, all of which We're
rendered in most creditable manner.
Following the concert a Hawaiian
Quintet club played and sang the mu-
sic of Hawaii In the maKai ballroom
where the visiting officers and ladies'
danced until after midnight, The Ha-
walan music was a most fascinating
feature 20 the visitors, there being a
general expression OF the novelty they
experienced In dancing to native music,
both played and sung, lnlermixed In
this martial assembly We're a large
number Of visitors who have recently
arrived In Honolulu, Col, auhb and
the officers thanked Manager Lake for
a most pleasurable evening,

EXCLUSION OF INSECT PESTS.

The exclusion of Insect pests is one
of the principal duties of the Board of
Agriculture and Forestry. The law
permits the Board to prohibit entirely
the importation of plants and fruit
from certain parts of the world or to
prohibit the importation of certain arti-
Giles from any part of the world either
absolutely or conditionally. Power is
also conferred to require quarantine,
inspection, fumigation or destruction If
necessary, of all vegetable imports, and
of articles being sent between the is
lands.
Necessarily these precautions make
the importation of plants and fruits
somewhat more difficult and expensive,
but the history of insect pests in Ha-
wall more than justifies all that is be-
ing done.
1t is a fact that with the exception
of the cane borer, almost every dan
gerous insect pest in Hawaii today,
has been imported within the last ten
years.
Recognizing the inconvenience and
difficulty of putting in force a large
number of restrictions all at once, the
one step at a time.
First, expert chronological inspec-
tors were appointed; blanks for appli-
cations for inspection and of certificates
of inspection, We're prepared, rules were
formulated, notices We're published and
copies of the rules and procedure mail
known importers. Although there was
some slight friction at first, the in
spection machinery is now running
smoothly, and already a number of
dangerous insects, not now in the coun-
try, have been discovered and destroy
ed. From time to time, as information
has warranted It, the Board has passed
regulations prohibiting or regulating
the importation of various plants which
are subject to disease or destructive
parasites.
For example, sugar cane Is subject to
many and serious diseases and pests,
and its importation is prohibited ex-
cept for seed, and through the Board,
In order that it may be exhaustively
Guaranteed and disinfected.
The Importation of pineapples, ba-
nanas and cocoa plants from the South
Seas and coffee plants from anywhere,
has been prohibited
In each case this action Is based
upon the fact that diseases dangerous
to these plants are known to exist in
the prohibited sections.
The Board has now taken one more
step in advance and has passed a rule
regulating the inspection of plants and
fruit being shipped between the islands.
No sugar cane Is allowed to be shipped
from one Island to another, until II
has first been sent to Honolulu, inspect
ed by the agent OF the Board ana
certificate Issued that II Is clean and
healthy,
An fruit and plants shipped from
Honolulu to the other Islands must
first be Inspected, The rule has not
yet been extended TO fruit and plants
coming 10 Honolulu from the other
islands, partly because the inspecting
force Is not yet large enough To cope
with the work 10 be done, and partly
because all lmportatlons Of plants be-

JAS. w. GIRVIN.
SENATOR DICKEY'S POSITION.
Editor Advertiser: The interview
with me published in yesterdays Ad-
vertiser is liable to put me in a false
light in regard to the County Act and
needs explanation.
When the Republican convention
adopted the County Act platform l felt
at first that l could not run as senator
on that platform and sent to the clerk
of the convention a withdrawal as a
candidate for nomination. l was,
however, persuaded to run by the ar
guments of prominent Republicans
that county government was bound to
come as both parties had pronounced
for it and that 1t was better to run,
and, If elected do the best possible to
get a good County Act. l accepted
the situation, was elected, and did my
best to get good law passed. 1 am
still pledged as n senator to assist in
making a good County Act and propose
to work to that end unless l am fully
convinced that my constituents have
changed their minds on the subject.
l think that the County Act lately
declared void is mainly a good one and
should be repassed by the next Legis-
lature with the necessary elimination
of the Illegal parts and some changes.
The clrcu courts should not be UNI
der the cor troll of the counties in any
way, even to the extent of counties
paying the expenses. They should be
managed entirely by the Territory and
utterly independent of local infunce.
The license and tax laws should be
left out of the bill which should only
state what revenues are to so to the
counties. The bond matter should be
rearranged so that the assessors and
collectors bonds should not be eXorbi-
tant and a feature added to the bill
making it obligatory to pay over col
lections to the treasurer daily.
Other amendments should perhaps be
made, but, unless the Republican party
utterly changes it's position, the County
organization must be perfected at the
next session of the Legislature.
I am not afraid of the passage of
worse law than the last because we
have a sufficient number of Republican
senators to prevent the passage of an
unsuitable act over the veto of the
Governor.
Yours respectfully,
C. II. DICKEY.
