SUPERCARGO WASHED
OVERHEARD FROM
SCHOONER WOODBURY.
U. S. 5. Iroquois and Sailing Vessel Part Com
pany in Gale OFF Kauai and Tug Puts
Into EIeeIe For Repairs.

Another disaster has been added to
the long list which have attended the
development OF Midway Island, 1900
miles to westward of Honolulu. News
was conveyed to Honolulu yesterday
from Kauai by purser Brumaghim of
the Inter- Island steamer Niihau. to the
effect that in gale off the Kauai coast,
the United States tug Iroquois and the
bury, which was being towed to Mid
way by the former, had parted COM
pany, and that an American named
Clark. supercargo of the Woodbury.,
had been washed overheard and lost.
Purser Brumaghim reports that the
steamer Mikahala at o'clock on the
morning of Friday, May 5, sighted the
Iroquois showing signals of distress,
two miles off Nawiliwili Head. The
Mikahala steamed up to the Iroquois
and learned from Captain Niblack that
the splice in the hawser had parted at
$3.50 p. m. on the night of the 4th Of
May and the vessels had parted COM
pany in the gale then raging. The
schooner had drifted away in the dark
ness and was not in sight when the
Mikahala spoke the Iroquois.
The Iroquois, however, had steamed
about and had hailed the Woodbury.
and the masters of the two vessels
agreed to meet each other again off
Nawiliwili head at 7 a. m.
The Iroquois put into Eleele for some
slight repairs, and at Ii a. m. Fri
day put to sea again and picked up
the Woodbury.. A new hawser was
passed between the vessels and the
long tow to Midway, via Laysan Island
was begun again.
While making sail after the hawser
had parted, Mr.. Clark was wash
ed overheard. He was lost sight of
i quickly and although a close watch
| was kept nothing was seen of him
again.

Ever since the bark Wandering
Minstrel" commanded by Capt. Walk
err. now Of Honolulu, was wrecked on
Midway Isle in the late Se's, there has
been a series Of marine disasters to
record in connection with the work of
making the lonely sand island into an
important cable base. When the Pa
cific Gable Company began its work,
vessels were sent there with supplies
and materials. The schooner Julia
Whalen, of Marcus Island fame, was
wrecked on the island and all the
cargo lost Other vessels have had
mishaps. The schooner Kennedy was
recently wrecked and lost on Laysan
plies. The cable steamer Scotia, en-
route to Midway with years supplies,
and all the cargo lost. Steamers with
materials for either the cable people
or the guard of United States marines
have been unable at times to land the
freight owing to storms prevailing in
that region. And now comes the story
of trouble on the present voyage of
the Iroquois and Woodbury..
The vessels left Honolulu last Thurs
day. The Iroquois had a big cargo OF
supplies for the marines, and there
were also two 1000 pound anchors on
the forward deck which were to be
used to anchor buoys in the lagoon
The Woodbury. carried six cows, TWEEN.
ty sheep and several crates of chick.
ems and. altogether, there We're 15(
tons of general merchandise for the
cable company aboard. Capt. Schlem-
mer, king of Laysan Island" and his
family are aboard the Woodbury.. They
are to be landed at Laysan and the
vessels are then to proceed to Mid
day. On the Iroquois are cable opera
tors Morrison and Cox. The Woodbury.
is to load guano at Laysan on her re-
turn from Midway, to be brought tc

ASSESSOR
SUSTAINED

AS result of it's appeal to the SUI
preme Court, the Honolulu Rapid
Transit and Land Co. loses the reduc-
ton of S,1s4.O5 made by the Tax APP
peal Court. The company returned
its property at 1852, 0S2.S0. 1t was asses
ed by Assessor Holt at $1,4O9,20O, which
the Tax Appeal Court reduced to ST.
351,0l5.95. An appeal was taken by the
company as to excess over one million
dollars. In the decision, entered by tine
clerk, it is stated that the Tax Appeal
Court pursued the method which was
held not to produce an excessive result
in former case of the same appellant.
From the $66O,0OO, as market value of
5000 shares common stock, and the
$339,000, as market value of 1890 shares
of preferred stock, making a total of
$4,000, the Tax Appeal Court made a
deduction of 20 per cent leaving $780,
900. 1t allowed a deduction of per
cent on $4,000 bonds, when left a net
total valuation of stock and bonds of
S1,37S, 700, from which deduct.ng $27,-
6S4,05 for material not in use a total
assessment of 1881 ,o15.35 is obtained,
as shown above. The decision runs
thus:
1.-THE company set forth its property
| in it's corporation exhibit of December
81, 1903 as of the value of 81 ,692, 1857, in
Guiding franchise and subsidies, $780,
900 but it contends that the amounts
set forth in that exhibit are a mere
| matter of bookkeeping and do not rep
resent actual values, and that the fran
chise has no taxable value. This cor
poration is young and had begun laying
it's street car tracks only few years
before and was apparently a growing
concern. 1t had already become able
to pay per cent on its bonds, 6 per
cent On its preferred stock, per cent
on its common stock. and lay aside con-
siderable as a sinking fund to meet its
bonds when they should become due
and its stock when the franchise
| should expire twenty-sN years there
after.
per curtain. 1t does not appear that
the assessment by the Tax Appeal
Court was excessive. Twenty per cent
was liberal deduction to be made
from the value at which the common
stock stood in the market 80 indicated
by ordinary sales In small lots. The
Tax Appeal Court. however, made the
same deduction from lie market value
OF the preferred stock. which could
hardly be considerei as on the same
footing with the common stock, and
also allowed deduction OF five per
cent from the bonds. although pur-
} chaser would take the stock or proper
ty subject to the payment Of the bonds
: In full at their maturity and they
stood above par in the market at the
time. No special circumstances show
that the assessment should be reduced

MERCHANT
NOT GOING
Shi0Zawa Denies Rumor
About Fitting to
Manchuria.

Editor Shiozawa of the Hawaii Shin
po declares that there is nothing in
the rumor that Japanese merchants
here contemplate pulling up stakes and
removing to Manchuria and Korea.
Before the publication Of the rumor,
its private circulation with some i'm
press Of authority had caused no small
annoyance to some Japanese mer-
chants Talking to a reporter of the
Advertiser, Mr.. Shiozawa said:
IS. Ozalki, a japanese merchant, is
now out in Manchuria or Korea pros
pecting for himself. This is we'll known
1t was in a Japanese newspaper
and to that extent alone is the rumor
correct. If the sake decision had held
good, Ozah would have got $4,000 of
the refund. In, that case he might close
up his business here and go to Man
churia.
"Suga, another large merchant on
King street, has closed out his pro-
vision department and is going into
liquor entirely. He is in Japan now
and his brother is keeping the store in
his absence.
'Hamano, another large merchant,
was reported to @. H. Berrey as in
tending to close up and go to Man
churia. This is not true and has done
Hamano a great deal of damage. His
standing is very high in Japanese
financial circles, yet on being apprised
of the report a certain large house,
with which he had dealings, called up
on him for an explanation.
THE Japanese merchants here, it is
true, are finding times hard. They are
injuriously affected by the agricultural
| labor situation. People are going
away to the mainland without paying
their debts to the retail stores. This
| embarrasses some of the dealers.
Business in consequence among the
| Japanese is not very good at present
but We have hopes that the law taxing
| emigration agents will have its in
| tended effect, and that the American
| fever will shortly become abated.'
| Mr.. Shiozawa was himself carried
away by the rumor at first, he having
been one of those consulted by the Ad-
| vertiser reporter who wrote the pre-
vious article, but having made investi.
cations he has come to the conclusion
| above related.

TIE PEOPLE TO SELECT
TUE COUNTY OFFICERS

Editor Advertiser: The Executive
Committee of the Republican party
should announce at once that it is the
right of every voter at the primaries
to elect delegates to the County Con-
vention to write ON his ballot the name
of the person whom he desires to be
nominated for the office of Sheriff of
the county or any other office, so that
the Republican voters of this country
shall choose the nominees of the party
and not the political bosses and ma
nipulators. Let us get the best men
we have in these Islands to commence
with, or else we will soon establish that
we are not prepared for responsible
government.
This election will decide whether the
people shall rule this Territory and
the Republican party should see to it
that the people shall be given their
hight to select the men who shall con-
troll the counties. There is no other
| way, and we demand it.
