PROPOSED
ECONOMIES
Governor Garter Makes
Financial Showing
to Bankers.

NJ Damon and S. Il. Damon of
Bishop & COS bank, C. NJ. Cooke OF
the Bank of Hawaii, Il. l. Spalding oi
Claus spreckels & Co.'S bank and Mark
Robinson Of the First National bank
met Governor Carter by invitation yes
terday morning to receive from MN
q statement of Territorial finances.
Auditor ]. II. Fisher was called into
the conference.
The Governors exhibit showed the
necessary expenses of the Government
for the remainder of this period, after
the elimination of some items and re-
auctions in others appropriated by the
Legislature. Having seen the state
ment the bankers, through the initial
spokesmanship of S. NJ. Damon, en-
unwise to make advances to the Gov
ernment until the Supreme Court had
rendered decision on the case brought
to test the validity of expenditures in
the remaining part of the biennial pc
riod upon the basis of appropriations
made for the six months ended De-
cember 81 1903
Governor Carter after the meeting
gave out the information that, accord
ing to the appropriation bills, the ap-
propriatons for current expenses OF
the entire biennial period amounted to
81 6O9 O3O. against which there was es-
timated revenue of s3,064,0l7. To make
ends meet "A reduction of one and "A
half million dollars would have to be
made. BY cutting out items for the
harbOr, for remodeling the Judiciary
building for an exhibit at st. Louis,
etc, the Governor figured a reduction
of 100000. a further reduction of
$3.50 600 might be effected in public
works generally. Then he proposed a
reduction by consent of the oftice-hold-
ers, of 90 per cent in salaries, making
about S495OOO. All these economies
would represent $975,0OO.
Governor Carter suggests that a spe-
cial session of the Legislature might
be advisable, either to reduce the sal
AIRY outgo or to increase the taxes.
Treasurer X spoikai says he has no
titled the Governor and heads of de-
partments that. to meet the eXigenCies
of the remainder of the period, total
current expenditures will have to be
reduced to $4,000 a month. He wish
es again strongly to disaVow any re-
sponsibility for the issuance of war
rants, contending that this belongs
solely to the Auditor. 1t is his part

VOICE FROM
UNPAID JURORS

Editor Advertiser: If any of the Cir
cult Court judges can find law that
compels "A citizen to perform jury duty
without compensation he will appease
the disquietude of the seventy-two un-
paid jurors who are looking to Treas
urer Kepoikai for their fees. The Jury
are as much a part of the court as the
judge and they earn their pittance.
bursements of court expenses as the
judge, clerk, reporter or bailiff, be-
cause they are compelled to relnquish
their occupations and sacrifice their
daily incomes. They do the hard work
of the trial and incur the displeasure
of the ltigant against whom their YER
diet is directed. How often the de-
feated plaintiff or defendant has made
the threat that he will get even with
every man on the jury!
If the insolvent condition OF the pub
lie eXchequer is to continue, jury duty
should be enforced without favor. The
merchant or capitalist whose income is
$1VO day has no more right to ask to
be excused than the workiugman who
earns but $3.50 "A day. In attendinp
court the poor man makes just as much
of IA sacrifice of his personal interest as
the rich man. When there is no COM
pensation for service the former suffers
and the latter is Indifferent When 4
large number of the panel are excused
for business" reasons the whole labor
of considering drowsy cases of land
claims, damages and embezzlement
falls upon fifteen or sixteen men who
had not sufficient influence at court tc
get a release.
If the judges compelled every able.
minded and able-bodied man In the
panel to do his duty there would b,
less complaint about the Treasury EN-
barrassment.

Mr.. May, when the business on the
table had been despatched, SAID ne
wanted to submit proposition. He
had been secretary and acting as man
aser Tor the past three years. Reii
estate was low and the insurance busi-
ness in a bad way. Things were going
from bad to worse with the company
He mad been neSiecting his persohai
business trying TO make ehds
meet. A few people had been around
knocking the company, for what rea-
son he did not know. He had about
come to the conclusion that there was
no use expecting to make any money
out of the company under present Cir
cumstances. He had talked with the
Waterhouse people about their taking
over the properties and insurance busi-
ness. His idea was to wind up the
Honolulu investment Co., but they
could not put the property on the ma.
ket in the present state of affairs. and
he did not see that things would be
better for two or three years.
Therefore he would make motion
that the directors be authorized to turn
over the property ana business in trust
TO some good corporation for say three
years on reasonable commission and
at the end OF that time sell everything
out for the benefit of the stockholders.
Thus they would cut out the running
expenses 1t was necessary to have
somebody to look after the property
ana collect the rents. There was s15,-
ooo IN bills payable against the COM
pany, and two mortgages were coming
due TINS year. The Henry Water
mouse Trust Co. was willing, If they
turned over the business. to look after
those mortgages. He did not know of
any better concern than the Water
house company to which their affairs
could be entrusted
MI Jones said that he only had a
small interest but he represented F. 4.

Mr.. May also read a statement of the
affairs of the Fidelity Insurance Co.,
saying it was owned by the Honolulu
Investment Co. Details of the assets
and liabilities of both companies have
been extensively published in connec-
tIon with the action taken by the In
surance Commissioner to revoke the
license of the Fidelity. The sum of
Sl2,sOO was owing by the company on
certain of its properties.
INVESTIGATION.
Il. ]. King moved, seconded by
Thomas Lindsay, that Il committee of
three be appointed to investigate the
report and see if it was correct.
President Gear, when it came to the
voting, said that as he regarded the
motion one of want of confidence in the
directors he would vote his shares and
proxies no"
Secretary May stated that the books
were open to any stakeholder, and
while voting mo- he would allow Mr.
King to go over the books at his pleas
ure.
T. f. Lansing remarked that as Mr.
May said anybody was welcome to
ter time than the present.
Mr.. harrington asked If Mr.. Lansing
doubted the statement that the ac-
counts had been audited. The items
had been compared with the books and
found to agree. They did not certify
that the vouchers We're examined.
David Dayton thought it was strange
that the person who kept the books
should object to their examination.
Mr., King withdrew the motion and,
seconded by G. Schuman, moved that
committee of three be appointed to
investigate the affairs OF the company.
| This carried and the chair, being re-
| quested TO appoint the committee,
named II j. King, 5. A. d. Jones and
jonathan Shaw. 1t was agreed that
the committee report within a reason

HONOLULU INVESTMENT
COMPANY'S AFFAIRS
Committee Of Investigation and New Board Of
Directors. ...Proposition by Secretary May
to Wind Up Company.

From twenty-five to thirty stock
holders, representing nearly 43o shares,
attended the annual meeting of the
Honolulu Investment Company, Ltd,
at it's offices last night. The directors
held majority control and, although
one or two breezes sprang up between
them and the minority early in the
proceedings, the meeting transacted
important business without much
wrangling.
Thomas Lindsay called the minutes
of last annual meeting in question, in
sisting that a motion was passed to
distribute amongst the stockholders
about $4,000 of a surplus then shown.
Secretary May thought 1t was but a
suggestion assented to by the direc-
tors. President Gears recollection
was that the understanding was to dis
tribute the surplus III available" but
Mr.. Lindsay said the correct phrase
was while available" The officers
consented, however, to have the min
utes corrected according to objection.

Emmett May, secretary and treasur-
er, read the annual report as audited
and found correct by w. r. Harrington
and John d. Holt, Jr. It's main fig

AUTOPSY HELD.
On Body Of Young Woman
Found in River.
side Park.
THE MYSTERY

New York, Dec 2S.--Coroner's Ply
sician Weston performed an autopsy
today on the body of the young woman
who was found in an unconscious con-
dition in Riverside Park early Monday
morning and who died before an am
bulance could take her to the j. Hood
Wright hospital. The autopsy showed
that the girl had died of broken
neck and also disclosed a number of
bruises on the right forearm which in
dicated a struggle
The dead womans identity is still
a mystery but several witnesses,
among them a prominent lawyer say
that a girl resembling the dead wo-
man, was seen in a cafe near the spot
where the body was found in company
with another woman and two men. A
quarrel took place in the cafe and one
of the men, who is called Gene"
slapped the woman's face because she
is alleged to have said that no one
but her husband could talk to her in
that way.
DIR. Weston was unable to say
whether the girls neck was broken by
a fall or a blow and said that he must
leave that fact to be brought out by
the police. The autopsy showed that
no drug had been given the dead wo-
man and that she was not a confirmed
inebriate She had eaten a hearty
meal and had some liquor about six
hours before she died, which was just
about the time she was seen in the
cafe.
H. Arnold, Edwin Phillips, Adolph
Stadtch have made statements which
are practically corroboratlves Arnold
says he saw a party of four in a cafe
late Sunday night and that, after a
dispute, one of the men leaned over
and slapped the face of the dead wom-
an. The other man demonstrated and
the girls assailant left the place He
was shortly followed by the rest of
the party.
Coroner Scholer says that a well
known lawyer told him he saw a man
and woman walking along Riverside
Drive and going south. The woman
was leaning on the mans arm and
was crying, she also appeared to be
in deep distress. The coroner also as
serts that he showed the body to the
lawyer at the morgue and that posi-
tive Identification was made.
Detectives, under the personal
charge of Inspector Elbert o. Smith
are working on the case and an ar
rest is promised before long.

A 100000 FIRE
AT CHESTER, PA.-MANY BUSI-
NESS PLACES DESTROYED.
COVERED BY INSURANCE.

Chester, Pa, Dec. 28-What at first
promised to be one of the most dis
astrous fires in the history of Ches-
ter occurred in the heart of the retail
district shortly after noon today 1t
burned for five hours, causing a loss
estimated at 100000 At one period
of the blaze 1t was feared that the
flames, driven by strong northwest
wind, would get beyond the efforts of
the entire Chester fire department
and word was sent to Philadelphia and
Wilmington to hold apparatus in readi-
ness in case OF need.
The fire was discovered in the cellar
under the store Of A. w. Wolson's
furniture house at 522 Market street,
and spread with alarming rapidity to
Messicks haberdashery store next
door which was soon completely gut
ted, Smedlers confectionery store
soon became prey to the flames. Be-
tween the building In which the fire
originated and the Nolan building
there was heavy retaining wall. but
this was unable to witstand the in
tense heat, and the Nolan building, the
largest Of the four was badly damaged.
Most of the loss is covered by in.
surance.
