PROSECUTION
CLOSES CASE
All Evidence Against 5.
Mahaulu Is Now
In.
trrom Wednesdays Advertlserl

The prosecution closed its side of the
Mahaulu case esterday afternoon and
the defense was given until ten o'clock
this morning to make its presentation
of the issues Whether the presenta-
ton will consist in a motion to dismiss
the charge against the accused man
because of the failure of the Governor
to answer a subpoena calling him as
a witness will be disclosed only in
court.
When the case was called yesterday
morning an Intelligent officer was CIV
en- a subpoena to serve upon Professor
Woods of Punahou College, who was
wanted as a witness for the prosecu-
ton. The officer went out at once and
brought in Professor Woods, the dem
4onstrator of physical culture-and
then it was too near luncheon time to
go ahead. And so the case went over
until afternoon.
Auditor Fisher was on the stand
again yesterday, and testified that he
had made a personal examination of
all the land office books and that there
was no entry whatever of the payment
of 1926 by Mrs. Clark of the Wahi-
ava NOlOhy, iOl VI tiiC puy VA
$500 by Mr.. Dowsett on behalf of the
Waianae company
A motion made by Attorney Tbomp-
:son, for the defense, to strike out the
testimony given by the auditor, fell
to the ground because 1t appeared that
the auditor had made two examina-
items of the land office books. the Sec
-ond one being by Mr.. Fisher him
self.
At the afternoon session yesterday,
evidence was introduced by the prose-
cution to establish three more cases
of embezzlement against Mahaulu,
there being no records on the books of
the payment of $500 by T. F. Loring,
and of $3.50 by Mau Sing for rental,
nor of $3.50 paid on right of purchase
lease by Mrs. Abbie Clark, although
this money had been received and re-
-ceipted for.
The introduction of evidence tend
ing to establish these charges closed
the case for the prosecution.

STEAL WATER

Three Million Gallons
Taken From Pipes
Every Night.

Three millions of gallons OF water
are being stolen by somebody in Ho-
nolulu from the government pipes
every night between the hours of ten
p.Tm. and four a. M. or else there is
n leakage in the pipes that foots up
that enormous amount.
Now. We are pretty certain that
there Is no such leakage as that comes
to-" said Commissioner of Public
Works Holloway yesterday. "Conse-
quently, there must be wholesale APP
preparation going on. / suppose for
the irrigation of taro patches and truck
gardens in the neighborhood of Homo
lulu.
1T has been evident for long time
that there has been n large Illicit con-
sumption of water. The consumption
of the city daily foots up about $780,
900 of gallons. That is the legitimate
consumption. We have been anxious
for some time to get on the track of
the parties who were using water with
out permission at night, and so about
three weeks ago we shut off all the
pumps but one at ten o'clock, and not
ell the amount of water lifted by that
pump The pump carried three mil
lions of gallons approximately, and all
that water was used up during the
night.
Now, of course there can be no such
leakage as that. can only give you
the figures approximately, because the
whole matter is in the hands of Mr..
Walker, who is preparing a report to
this department, and he has gone up
to the coast. He will submit his re-
port when he comes back, and then
he will consider what steps can be
taken to stop this night use of water"

TAX APPEAL COURT
GIVES TWO DECISIONS

Two decisions were handed down by
the Tax Appeal Court yesterday. In
the first of these cases the Hawaiian
Agricultural Company appealed, claim
ing a deduction of $1S1,S76 on account
of damage done by the leaf hopper"
on 1649 acres of matured cane and $500
acres of young cane, the amount of de-
duction claimed being in excess of cost
of cultivation. The decision of the
court is to the effect that, in regard to
the $500 acres of young cane, the claim
was based on the value and returns
from the same cane at maturity, that
such value is subject to the vicissitudes
of the seasons and to other natural
causes and cannot be the basis for de-
duction from income long prior to the
date of maturity at which any realiza-
lions could be had. In the matter of
the 1649 acres of mature cane the court
says that there is a slight difference;
this was harvested as far as possible
the loss on these fields represents in
come that otherwise might, sooner or
later, be received but is not the actual
loss contemplated under the present in
come tax law. Lansing and Brown sign
the decision, Gait dissenting.
H. Hackfeld & Co. appealed for a de-
duction of $l5O,OO0 for cash advanced
and never recovered; this amount ives
claimed to be bad debt, the firm not
having been able to collect from the
Hawaii Mill Co. The testimony showed
that the $4,000 had not been written
off for the purpose of avoiding taxa
ton; it cannot be recovered. The court
holds that this sum is properly deducti-

So he passes me by with an unseeing

His cane beats dehantly rat-a-tat- tat
He trumpets his nose with a furious blare
There's pride In the tilt OF his worn
