QUEST OF AFFECTIONS BY Gaze
SAR FREITAS.

Rose Dias, Portuguese girl, told
Judge Lindsay in the police court to-
day how Caesar came and saw and con-
querored. She claimed that the fascina-
tions of Caesar were too great for her
to Withstand, so he conquerored. That
was the reason she was before the
court to answer to a charge of fornica-
ton. The name Of this conqueroring
Caesar is Freitas. He is a delivery boy
for a Waikiki livery stable. He was
charged with fornication too.
1t is claimed that the arrest of the
pair was caused by those interested
the girl who sought to force the youth
to marry her. The girl has figured be-
fore in the police court annals. Caesar
did not desire to be emrried
Caesar is wanted as a witness in the

RoDMAN FOR THE ORIENT.

Captain Hugh Rodman the COM
mander Of the U. S. s. Iroquois, is to
be ordered to the Asiatic station. News
of his approaching transfer was receiv-
ed by him in a private cablegram yes
terday.
Captain Rodman, who is a Lieuten-
ant-Commander in the Navy, will de-
part on either the S. S. China on
March or the s. S. Doric March - for
Yokohama. He will then report to the
commander in chief of the Asiatic sta
ton for assignment. Captain Rodman
will probably be assigned as navigating
officer or else executive officer on one
of the vessels out there. His prefer
ence is one of the battleships He has
a fine record and will no doubt receive
the berth that he desires.
Captain Niblack will be directed to
succeed Captain Rodman in command
of the Iroquois. The official orders have
not been received. The retirement Of
Captain Rodman will cause much reg
ret in Honolulu both in business as
well as social circles. He has been sta
toned here as commander of the lro~
quois for little over two years.

BY request of Mr.. Prudential, Mrs.

POWER
OF ASSESSORS

The Supreme Court this morning gave
a unanimous decision in a Maui tax as
| sessment case, settling some important
| points of law with reference to the
powers Of assessors in suing for taxes.
The case was the suit of James N. X.
Keola, deputy assessor for Waikiki, VS..
Solomon Hale. The opinion of the court,
by Perry, j., contains the following:
This is an action of assumpsit, COM
menCed in the District Court of Wailu-
ku, for $192.7S for taxes assessed against
the defendant for the years 1885, 1896.
1897, 1898, 1892 1900 and 1901. The Cir
cult Court jury waived, and also the
District Court, rendered judgment for
the plaintiff for the amount claimed
The three questions raised by the ex-
ceptions will be briefly referred to.
"The plaintiff has held his present Of
fee only since November 1, 1900. One
question is whether he can recover Of
the defendant any taxes other than
those assessed during his incumbency
Whatever doubts may have existed on
this subject prior to 1896, were dispos-
ed Of by Act 81 of the Laws of the Ses-
sion of that year. Section 40 of that
Act &C. L., Sec S46) provides that the
successor of any assessor or deputy as
SCISSOR shall be vested with the same
power and be subject to the same uu-
ties and liabilities as his predecessor,
and shall collect all taxes then unpaid,
and shall carry on any proceedings
commenced by his predecessor
"Another question IS whether the tax
books or assessment rolls We're correct
ly admitted in evidence. In support OF
the plaintiffs case-Section SO of the
Act of 1896 &C. L., Section $500 answers
this in the affirmative.
THE third question is whether the
plaintiff can recover at all, the cOnten-
ton of the defendant being that the
lebt Is due to the government and not
to Mr. Keola either in his individual
or in his official capacity This
action was brought by the plaintiff as
deputy assessor of taxes in and for the
District Of Waikiki, Maui, Second Tax
alton Division of the Territory Of Ha-
wall In our opinion the de-
claration sufficiently shows that the ac-
ton was brought on behalf of the Ter
ritory of Hawaii It's language cannot
be construed otherwise. The action as
brought is authorized by the statute
''The exceptions are overruled.
Attorney General L. Andrews and N.
w. Aluli for plaintiff.
Creighton and Correa for defendant"

At the same time representative Of
the light company were on the way to
WASHINGTON
The electric light company refused
to meet the demands of the railway
company, it is stated, and the result
was a dispatch from Dillingham; to
Washington, asking that the franchise
bill be1held up, Mcclellan, who it is
stated might have been called back
from San Francisco if there had been
an agreement here, went on to Wash
ington, and opposition to the franchise
is now being energetically pushed in
Congress, on the ground that it gives
the light company too much power.
The franchise bill in question was
passed by the legislature here without
any opposition. Under the terms of
the Organic act it requires ratification
by Congress and it is over such rati-
fication that the contest has arisen.

franchise bill question at Washington
has become largely a fight between
two Honolulu corporations, as a result
of what the electric company people
term an attempted "hold-up" by their
opponents in the contest. G. B. Nc

the long list of knocks from Hawaii
at Washington by opposing the fran
chise, unless a contract was made by
which the railway company retained
control of traffic and power business
with the other company.
Mcclellan is a representative of Dill

Electric Company and the Railway
company whereby it was proposed that

We're not disheartened by their failure
to salve the French vessel They de-
clare that they propose to return to
the shoal again if they can and continue
to try and get the vessel off the reef
The Ada left Honolulu December Is.
She went down in twelve days with
new crew most of whom were natives
The work Of saving the vessel was be-
gun. The donkey engine was rugged
up. A heavy gale from the west caused
considerable delay in the operations.
Diver Ellerson succeeded this month
however in getting all of the matches on
the capsized bark closed and fastened
with chains. The idea was to pump her
out so she would right herself.
On Tuesday, February 9, gale from
| the southwest and west came up. The
sale was very bad and it interfered
with the work of salvng the French
man. In fact it was impossible to do
any work i'm this respect. The gale con-
Itinued for four days The chains wer
torn loose and the schooner could not

times the crew thought the Ada would
Weisbarth said that there was no occa-
sion to worry about the danger.
But the storm was not the worst
feature of the situation. Provisions
were running low. The crowd were
short of water. During the entire
time that they remained at the shoal
there had been practically no rainfall
and no fresh water could be secured
A Japanese fishing schooner which was
in the Shoal gave the crowd some
provisions. Although steam was VI
and everything ready to begin to pumI

The Ada left Fench Figate Shoal last
Saturday afternoon. She came to HO-
nolulu IN 51a days which is quite good
run.
Everybody who went on the eXpedi-
