GOVERNORS WIFE'S
MOTHER IS DEAD

Mrs. Strong, mother of Mrs. George
r. Carter, died at Rochester, New York,
yesterday. Her last illness must have
been short, for late previous advices
were that Mr.. and Mrs. Strong intend
ed coming to Hawaii in the steamer
Korea from San Francisco in February.
The esteemed couple visited Honolulu
two or three years ago, making many
friends and being delighted themselves
with the islands.
Governor Carter received cablegram
at S:l5 yesterday, announcing Mrs.
Strong's serious illness and requesting
him to prepare his wife for the worst
At about 2:l5 the saddest message
came. The Governor cabled in reply
asking his father-in-law as to his
wishes regarding what Mrs. Carter
should do. Mrs. Carter would go on to
Rochester If requested, but they
thought possibly her father might come
out here.

The appearance on the list they fur

that the duty of selection placed upon
them by the law was very carefully,

must be maintained, managed and
cared for by it at it's own expense, un-
til otherwise provided by Congress, or
taken for the uses and purposes of the
United Srmes by direction of the
President, or of the Governor of the
Territory.
To what extent the possession, use
and control of the Territory of Hawaii
over the tug Eleu can be exercised
is a matter of deep consideration. The
Supreme Court of the Territory Of
Hawaii has now before it, in the mat
ter of the Territory of Hawaii, upon
the relation of the Attorney General,
Lorrin Andrews against the Super
visors of the County of Oahu, the ques-
tion as to whether or not property
held by the Territory of Hawaii, under
Section 81 of Chapter of the Organic
Act, can be transferred to the county
government. Several other questions
of law are involved, but the case, to
my mind, will be decided principally
on this one question of law And
while not desiring to anticipate the
decision of the Supreme Court, it seems
to me that should no other question in
relation to the transfer of the Eleu
prevent, that the Superintendent of
Public Works would be warranted in
refusing to transfer the same on the
ground that it Is the property of the
United States, and it's possession, use
and control is reposed in the Govern
ment Of the Territory of Hawaii. and
1t alone and not a subdivision or lesser
government thereof.
But other causes do intervene, ire
spective of the aforementioned reason,
upon which 1 would advise you to re-
fuse to transfer the Eleu to the County
of Oahu. Sec. 4S2 of the County Act
provides: "All property now in the
possession of any officer of the Terri
tory of Hawaii, which has been used
In connection with any public works
or institutions, which by the terms of
this Act are placed under the jurisdic-
tion of the several counties, shall, by
the officers of the Territory having
possession of the same, on the 4th day
of January, A. d. 1904. be delivered to
the officer or board of the county by
this Act having jurisdiction of such
public works or institution"

institution. True enough, it has been
used for certain purposes of the gar
page department, but that use is no
more general to the garbage depart
ment than it is to any other depart
ment OF the government which might
require the services of the tugboat.
Further, the Eleu might be sent down
to Hilo in connection with certain
government work at that place, and it
would be equally illogical to say that
Tor that reason the tugboat should be.

K0NA IN
FINE SHAPE

An assignment of leases of former
Eona Sugar Company's lands, filed yes
terday afternoon, indicates that the
new Kona plantation has stripped itself
of some unwieldy membranes and
now enters the field with its rental ex-
penses reduced from about $4,000 to
$4,000 per annum.
There were sixteen leases enumera-
ted in the assignment which were turn
ed over by Clinton j. Hutchins, trustee
for the Kona Plantation, to Charles
j. Falk. With these leases off Its
books the Kona plantation is now in
a position to go ahead as a corpora
tion on basis which will insure its
running in first class shape.
zone of the reasons for the planta-
tion getting into trouble before" said
Mr.. Hutchins yesterday, was on ac-
count of the leases that were of little
practical benefit to it, and the high
rentals imposed. Another trouble was
that some of the most available lands
for the growing Of cane were neglected.
Leases were made scattering the plan
tation from one end of the district to
the other. Mr.. Horner, who made a
report on the plantation, said that
cane had been planted in scattered pla-
ces on the lower end which practically
precluded the transportation Of the
product to the mill. Mr.. Horner said
the policy of planting cane in this
manner should be condemned and
stamped out
"The reports made on the material
by John Watt and Albert Horner were
extremely favorable, and the Honolulu
Iron Works report on the mill was also
favorable to us.
'"rhe former management seemed to
work on the plan that they had to lease
the entire district of Kona to build up
the plantation and made many leases
which were most unsatisfactory, and
this method contributed in no small
measure to the wrecking of the prop
erty.
Il have assigned sixteen Of the leas-
es, having Mad five favorable legal opin-
ions as to my right to do so. and have
thereby stripped the plantation of un-
wieldy attachments. Had 1 held on
to the leases after December 81, l
would have been liable for the rents.
1t was absolutely necessary to get rid
of them. This reduces our yearly
rental liabilities .s1O,S64. 1 have re-
tained the mill site leases, some of the
Greenwell leases and other minor leas-
es and these now form the basis of the
new plantation proposition. The 9TH
er property owners are willing to
stand by me, and are ready to make
new leases whenever I desire to take
them up.
"The Kona plantation can now go
ahead. We expect to plant between
300 and 500 acres this year, the same
next year and so on. We have a mill,
complete railroad and between 700 and
1000 acres of lease lands and about
900 acres of fee simple lands"

! An opinion of the Attorney General s
| department, written by Deputy Pc
ters, was rendered on Monday to the
Superintendent of. Public Works rela-
tive to the Government tug Eleu. 1t
will be remembered that Governor
Carter, in news interview last week,
mentioned the disposition of the ves-
sci as a problem the administration
was considering.
Mr.. Peters takes ground, on the gen.
eral question of property ceded by
the Republic to the United States un-
der the Resolution Of Annexation and
afterward granted to the Territory Of
Hawaii for its use and control under
the Organic Act, which If well taken
amounts to making so much of the
County Act illegal that there would
not be enough Of it left to operate with
any satisfaction.
The author of the opinion, however,
disclaims intention of anticipating the
decision of the Supreme Court. There
fore, he bases his advice against trans
ferring the tugboat to the County of
Oahu, not upon that far-reaching
ground but upon simpler grounds to
tlit elltCl tIdl odhu lio lIol Z
right TO receive possession of the Eleu
than any other county.
Mr.. Peters in conclusion gives the
cautious advice that the Attorney Gen.
eral of the United States be consulted
as to the disposition of the old ves-
sci. The full text of his opinion fol-

Divers Finished Their WORK

The divers from Pittsburg who were
repairing the leaks in the water mains
near the wharf, finished their work
yesterday. The main that was split
has been successfully repaired, but
tie one that was damaged by Joint
blowing out may require further at
tention.
The water from the new reservoir
has been turned into the city mains
and a marked Improvement in the
supply is apparent already.
To-day the supply in the reservoir
will last about four days but of course
the pumps are gaining all along and
when a supply sufficient to last twenty
days has been pumped in, the pumps
will shut down for a few days to al
low some necessary repairs to be
made and one of the old pumps Will
be removed.
