defendant, Liverato Soto, as follows:

A. Yes.
Q. What was the nature of that
conversation?
A. He asked me for a cigarette. l

match and l gave it to him. He light
ed his cigarette. When he lighted his
cigarette he turned back and looked
in the direction we were coming, then
looked in front, then he told me, "This

that there was nothing to show that
the conversation was being carried on

parties.

TO TAKE over
The ANNEX
THE BEACH AND HOUSE.

Rumor was busy this morning with
the story that in the near future the
management of the Hawaiian Hotel
Annex at the Waikiki beach would once
more be merged with that of the Royal
Hawaiian Hotel in the city and that,
with many thousands of dollars worth
of improvements the old and popular
resort at the beach is to be reinstated
in its former pre-eminence. AS is gen.
orally known, the Annex property is
owned by the Macfarlanes and since
the change in the management of the
Royal Hawaiian Hotel there has been
no business connection between the
two. This has been to the detriment of
both for the Annex needed a town con-
nection just as the Royal Hawaiian re-
quired a beach adjunct.

successful fruiton the change will be

The Weston Independent puts 1t
this way: Right now when there is
no campaign on is the time to fix
firmly in your mind the respective
attitudes of the Republican and Demo
cratic parties on the tax question as
1t relates to coal, oil and gas. Dur
ing last campaign the Republicans
promised that these properties should
be taxed. The Democrats said Re
publicans had no such intention, but
were trying to shield the owners of
coal, oil and gas. Later when Repub-
licans directed the listing of coal, oil
and gas leasehold estates for taxa
ton, believing that this sort of prop
erty should bear it's share of taxa
ton along with other forms of prop
erty, the Democrats claimed that
these leaseholds should be taxed
against the owners of the land, that
the court had so held, and that the
owners of the leaseholds would not
be taxed. The recent decision of the
Court of Appeals has settled this, and
now the leading Democratic papers
of the State are devoting their time
and attention to devising plans and
suggesting means of helping the lease
holders yet to escape. oh, how the
Democracy does love the small prop
erty owner! 1t is willing that he go
on forever, paying taxes for the erst-
while dodger."
