The case of the Southern Railway was next heard through l.. Green. Gen. eral Freight Trafic Manager, of Att lanta. Mir. Green was put through a most rigid examination by President Conner after he had submitted a writ ten statement of reasons why the fer tilizer rates should not be decreased by that line.
 Southern Railway Facts. Among the several pleadings of MT. Green was the fact that on account of geographical conditions Alabama has not proven a practicable territory through which much interstate ton mage could be routed. He submitted figures which he said proved that when the Alabama intra-state earnings are charged with their proper propor- tion of expenses, Improvements, inter est and taxes there Is a deficit of $2S7,- 204 .49. This applies to the 1904 opera tions, and the same statement showed that the total intra-state earnings from all sources in Alabama amounted in 1904 to $2.577.369.26.
 The existing tariff of the Southern Railway Company in Alabama," said Mir. Green, was approved by the Rail- road Commission of that State. It was the subject of review by the commits sion in May, June and July, 1903, and,
  auctions in said tariff were made by order of the Commission in the rates on hay, grain and grain products, COW peas, syrup and potatoes. A further reduction of 10 per cent was made in the rates of thls company upon all classes and commodities on joint traffic passing over two or more lines within the State.
 This honorable commission then de- cided that reductions further than those named above, were not justified, and denied the petition for the adop- tion of the Georgia classification and freight tariff in Alabama, expressing the belief that to grant that petition would prevent the Southern Railway Company from earning "a fair and just return under the laws of the State upon its investment.
 ''Fair and Just Return."
 The transportation and other con ditions affecting the movement of traf- fic over the Southern Railway in the State of Alabama are not materially different now from those existing in 1903, and 1t Is a fact that the Southern Railway does not. under its existing tariff, made by the commission, earn In Alabama a fair and just return on It's property investments within the State, as shown by the following statement of the results of operation in the State of Alabama for the fiscal year of 1904.
 "The gross earnings of the Southern Railway Company within the State of Alabama from all sources, on both in- ter-state and intra-state traffic. were, for the fisca lyear of 1904, $5,62s, ,753.97.

Associate Commissioner sanders at this juncture made a motion that while the general traffic managers of the va rious railroads in Alabama are In Montgomery in attendance on the meeting that in conjunction with the fertilizer rates the general freight rates fin the State be considered.
 President Conner was SppOsed to the motion in this form but after a few minutes discussion moved an amend ment which finally was passed to the effect that the whole question of gem eral freight rates be taken up as soon as the fertilizer rates were settled.
 The President said that his opposi- tfon to the first motion was based on inc fact that at the last meeting of the Commission 1t was decided to take up the adjustment of fertilizer rates

ANOTHER SCANDAL
IS LOOMING UP

A communication was received yes
terday by Supervisor Lucas OF the su-
pervisoriai road committee, from some
party in Koolauloa, making charges
against one of the employees of the
road department in Koolauloa. The
communication was referred to a spe-

Paele for an investigation of the
charges. Mr.. Lucas said yesterday that
he did not feel at liberty TO make the
communication public until the COM
mittee had investigated it. He stated,
had been accused Of Incorporating

to put up the 100000 to handle the
Territorial warrants, thus cutting off
the discount of the banks, have noti-
fed me that the negotiations are at an
end. They were to have made Eve per
cent for the money advanced, but this
with the time and trouble that it would

is great deal, but it is not all that
Acting Governor Atkinson and the Ter
ritorial Treasurer hoped to accomplish
And, it may be, that the hope will be
realized yet at some time in the future
although Mr.. Campbell was most posi-.
tive in his statement yesterday that
the deal was all off.
As to the legal aspect of the matter,
that did not bother the officials. There
is a provision in the Organic Act pro-
vided to meet just such emergencies as
this, but even if there were not, it was
not proposed that the Territory should
borrow the money outright to take up
the warrants. The plan was, if the
party proposing to advance the $780,
900 had seen his way clear to do it, to
turn all the warrants to the one holder,
paying the salaried men their face
value and letting the monied man make
the five per cent interest that the war
rants call for on their face. It was
simple plan enough. And the men who
draw salaries from the Territory will
hope that it may yet be worked.
In the meantime, however, the Off
cial announcement that the present
negotiations have fallen through is
made in order that those who have been
holding their salary warrants in the
hope of more favorable discount may
be advised of the real status of affairs.

SUPERVISORS
MEET TWICE
IN ONE DAY
ySIks%-
Reports and Communications Are
Presented and a Mass Of
! Warrants Approved.

There was a full attendance of the
oahu supervisors at the meeting held
in the board rooms yesterday after
moon. Clerk Kalauokalani read the
minutes of the previous meeting and
they We're approved. The Committee
on Public Expenditures had not been
able to get hold of all the vouchers to
examine them, SO it's report was de-
ferred. as was that of the Committee
on Ways and Means.
The subject of the relocation of the
Kipapa and Waikakalaua road was
brought up, it appearing that the road
was unfinished and without a fence.
Portions of a communication from Su-
perintendent of Public Works Hollo-
way were read.
Mr.. Low of the Eva and Waianae
road board was present and, being
called on by the chair, stated that the
road was constructed at q cost OF
about $4,000, half of which came from
the loan fund and half from the gen.
.eral roads and bridges fund. The
road was started by the Public Works
department of the territory and later
turned over to the Eva road board.
The road. he said, was in a miserable
condition and no four or five thousand
dollars would put 1t into first-class
shape. Many people still used the old
route. The road board had not been
notified that there had been an agree
ment made with the Ii estate to trade
the old 10O-foot roadway for the new
5O-foot right of way.
Lucas stated that it would be neces-
sary to have a fence put up
along the road before the county could
own the road. He suggested that the
necessary $4,000 feet of fence be put up
at a cost not to exceed $500.
This aroused Adams, who could not
see why the county must fence the
road. Low stated that it would take
about $4,000 to put the road into a fair
condition and safeguard it against the
rains. He hoped that the board would

Settlers to Get 500
Acres Leased TO
Hutchinson,

The Settlers Association of Kau, if
it means business, will get the part of
the Hutchinson Plantation cane lands
| upon which the leases are about to ex-
| pire.
II have heard from the settlers"
said Land Commissioner Pratt yester-
day, "and I have written them today
| that the lands will be surveyed and
| subdivided. But it will be at least
six months before this can be done
The surveyors are busy on lands
around Honolulu, and will be on that
work for some time. After that is
finished. they will go down and begin
to cut up the Kau lands.
There are about 800 acres of this
cane land of Hutchinson plantation
that has come into the market through
the expiration of the leases When
the plantation people went to Commits
sioner Pratt to renew their leases, they
found that a Settlement Association
consisting of Senator Hewitt. DR..
Thompson, Mrs. Ben Taylor, Mr. Hay
selden and others had made applica-
tion for the land. They proposed to
be bona fide settlers, and expressed a
desire to enter into an agreement with
the plantation people to raise cane on
the lands. the plantation to grind their
product for them.
1T was a plan that bade fair to be-
come the entering wedge of a new sys-
tenn of agriculture for the islands, and
after mature deliberation it was said
that the Hutchinson directors were in
clined to look with favor upon the plan.
Anyway, Henry E. Cooper. of the firm
of Kinney, McClanahan & Cooper rep
resenting the Hutchinson people, was
sent to Kau to confer with the settlers
and, if possible, to arrive at an agree
ment with them. Mr. Cooper came
back on the Mauna Loa yesterday"
Il had meeting with a majority Of
the settlers on Saturday afternoon"
Mr.. Cooper said last night, land while
nothing was decided upon finally, a.
good start toward reaching an agree
ment was made. The settlers, in the
absence of DR.. Thompson at Los An
geles, would not bind themselves down
to the acceptance of any particular
form of contract, but they stated in
general terms that the same contracts
as those th@ Japanese have would suit
them and that would be satisfactory
to the corporation. Thompson will be
back in September, I think. and mat
ters will then be concluded"
"I saw Mr.. Cooper" said Land Com
missioner Pratt, "and what is said
there is in substance about what he
said to me. AS I have said, the set
tiers wrote me a letter concerning the
matter, and I have written them today
made of the lands. This will be done
as soon as the lands we are now work
ing on near Honolulu are out of the |
way"
The lands near Honolulu that the |
Commissioner referred to are the Ale |
wa tract, of IT'S acres, and the lands |
in Makiki The Alewa tract is on the |
