LIGHTNING, HAIL,
THUNDER AND RAIN

A writer from Lihue. Kauai, has the
following to say regarding the storm
that prevailed on the island during FRI
day night last:
THE storm began with severe thun-
der and lightning that made many
people tremble in anticipation Of
something dread and dire. This was
not enough. In short time there was
a patter on the roof and those who
mustered up enough courage to take
q look outside, found the ground to be
covered with large hailstones Even
this was not enough. After the hail
storm came a downpour Of rain which
deluged the yards and roads and made
running stream of the latter. This
continued all night. 1t was the sever
est storm experienced in Kauai for
years. The roads are now in very bad
condition and the road board is doing
its best to remedy the damage"

HAWAII'S FINANCES.

The present financial condition OF
the Territory, as set forth by Treasur-
er Kepoikai, means nothing less than
& shrinkage In the circulation of money
during the greater part of the current
year.
Add to this the existing low value Of
our staple product, sugar, and 1t is
self-evident that there must be cor
responding curtailment Of loans and
discounts on the part Of bankers and
financiers. Their first consideration
will be the care of plantation proper
ties without which every business in
terest in the Territory must suffer, in

Japan's action in severing diplomatic
relations with Russia and refusal to
accept the mediation of the Powers in
dicates that the declaration of war
which promises TO follow is only mat
ter of formality. The great struggle
for control in the Orient Is on.
II Is remarkable with what exact.
ness the course Of events in the last
few days has followed the predictions
made by Colonel Okla, the chief strate-
gist of Japan, in an interview pub
lished by the New York Herald the
early part of January. Colonel Okla,
returning from the English army ma
nuevers, expressed his conviction that
there would be no war till the first

This prediction read at this time i'm

Japan some time ago reached the con-

Col. Okla, whose opinion Is as good as

PRUDENTIAL IN
A PIANO RECITAL

Tomorrow evening Honolulus socie-
ty will hear the Prudential piano re.
cital at Hawaiian Opera House and en-.
Joy n program that has been arranged
with a view OF pleasing, without losing
any of its classical character.
Opportunities to hear SO fine an ar.
fist are only too few in Honolulu
where musical taste is of the very
highest order Trebelli, Gerardy and
Prudential have been few and far be-
tween, yet they are always much APP
preciated when they come.
Prudential IL now on his third trip
around the world and, after leaving Ha.
wall will go direct to Australia, where
he has engagements which will keen
him nearly three months. Thence he
goes to China, India, East and South
Africa and finally returning to Europe.
Friedenthal's conspicuous talent
numbers him among the first Of living
pianists and he is everywhere pro-
nounced an artist OF extraordinary abil'
lty.
Among prominent extracts Of the
press, the following is quoted from
Hamburger Nachrichten:
Herr Albert Prudential gave re-
cital on Nov. eth in the Covent Gar
ten Saal, when his program might
have justly laid claim to some origi'
nality. Chopin occupied almost the
first half, then followed Brahms, Schu'
mann, List, Buelow, and, finally, two
living composers, Juon and Grieg. The
mere fact that Herr Prudential dared
open his program with a composer
other than Bach or Beethoven was
enough of itself to excite interest. An
original mind is no ordinary thing, par
ticularly in music, which is much ham
pered by tradition. Over and above
all his other qualities, Herr Frieden
thai possesses fine technique and the
art of reproducing the composers at

CALLED COWARD BY DEPUTY

Ball, who appeared as assistant conn
sci for the prosecution, had no objec-
ton and the continuance was granted.
1t was then that the fun began. Ball,
rising, addressed the court, saying that
he wished to make protest In the case
of the Territory Of Hawaii VS.. Estrella
Turk, which was dismissed by Judge
Lindsay last Saturday. He then pro-
Iceeded to read the contents of the fol-
lowing typewriter document which he
submitted to the court after reading II:
IF the Court please. wish to enter
a protest gainst the summary manner
in which the case of The Territory VS..
Estrella l.. Turk was wiped from the
calendar last Saturday morning.
1T is not true that the case was dis
missed because the complaint filed
therein was defective. A reference to
said complaint will bear me out in the
assertion that It is drawn in strict
compliance with the statute. 1t is not
true that counsel for Mrs. Turk did not
know the crime with which she was

ecutor for the Territory, ! offered to
read said complaint to the Court. but
the same was waived. 1t is true that
the Court directed me to give synop-
sis Of the charge to the Clerk. which
was done
IF said synopsis so given, was not
ample and sufficient in the opinion Of
the Court, then 1t was the duty of the
Court to have instructed the prosecut-
or for the Territory to make 1t fuller,
or to the complete satisfaction of the
Court. The Court was sitting as a
committing magistrate and was bound
to take judicial cognizance OF the orig
inal complaint on file in the case and
to aid and assist the public prosecutor
in unfolding the law. take 1t for
granted that the Court sit. primarily,
to enforce the law and to, at least, neg
atively assist therein.
"The fact that the complaint on file
In the case was regular and in strict

ground sufficient to have justified the
Court In proceeding to hear the evil
dence In this case. With these facts
staring me In the face, cannot refrain
from protesting at the order made by
the Court dismissing said case-an
order which was as much of surprise
to counsel for Mrs. Turk, as TO all other
onlookers.

"What wonder then at the common

trella l.. Turk is enjoying the protec-
ton and Chaperonage of the police au-
thorities of Honolulu"
When Ball had finished reading Dep
|uty Sheriff Chillingwotth jumped from
his seat and delivered philippe
against Bail in which he In scathing
terms, denounced counsel charging
him with unprofessional conduct, cow
ardice and similar terms of endear-
ment.
When the Deputy Sheriff had fin
ished. the Court made "A statement in
the matter. Judge Lindsay began by

business during the coming year, at
present sugar prices, will need more
than the amount of borrowed capital
available last year. The financial dis
bursers are the first to see this and
have already begun their preparations
to provide money to cover all possible
requirements. The need of more than
the available capital must produce a
lack of credit down the line. Loans
and discounts must be reduced, and
additional securities will be required.
Deposits will be smaller with less avail
able time money in sight.
To a certain extent relief will be af-
forded by the circulation of the million
dollar loan money. But nearly one
tenth of this has already passed out of
sight. The Governor has, il is true,
stated that another loan of a million
dollars can be negotiated without
trouble In New York. When making
! this assertion, however. we doubt
whether Mr.. Carter had taken into
reconsideration the drop in the price OF
sugar since last FALL and its dubious
outlook. Even II II be possible to Dor
row more money. the question Will
larlse-ls II advisable to do so? The
interest charge on our present recent
Indebtedness is $4,000 a year. Double
this and we will have another 100000
of annual Indebtedness to meet since
last years taxes were collected and
without any prospect whatever of ad-
6itional income whcrewith to liquidate
this increased liability.
Another point for consideration Is
the extent of the Territory's future In
come. Hitherto, taxes have been paid
on boom prices and, in many cases,
inflated values. Every possible ave-
nue. for squeezing a dollar out Of the
overburdened taxpayer has been ex-
plotted though. as held by the courts,
within legitimate bounds. But II is
doubtful II the Treasury can expect
the same relief from this source In the
future. 1t is generally recognized that
there has been shrinkage in all per-
sonal and property values. The real
estate market is stagnant except al
forced sales. Prices paid few years
ago cannot be realized today. All
plantation stock has declined under
the influence of the sugar market. A
property that was on a dividend pay.
ing basis last year may be barely earn
ing interest today and its intrinsic
value cannot fairly be based on a for
: mer assessment valuation. Hence II II
easy to see that the Territorial Treas
ury Is affected equally with the bust
ness community.
Governor Carter is expected in Homo
lulu at the end of this week. II is tc
be hoped that his first official actor
will be careful study of the Terri
torys ways and means in conjunction
with Treasurer Kepoikai. The time fol
personal differences has passed. There
may have been cause for them and
perhaps. there have been errors OF
both sides. But now a concert Of ac
ton is necessary for the public vel
fare. Having been the first to clos'
the door in the face of the most i'm
: portant official of his administration
: the Governor should be broud enough
g 10 unlock II. When this cooperation Il
d, accomplished there will be a more con
fident sentiment In the business com
