THIS TAX

Because a number of estates in pro-
bate have been, by inadvertence, closed

tory, Judges De Bolt and Robinson
yesterday entered new court rule in
tended to provide against any such
action in the future. 1t is as follows:
1T is ordered that Rule "a of the
Rules of the Circuit Court of the First
Judicial Circuit, adopted April Is, 1902,
in effect from and after May 5th, 1902,
be and the same is hereby amended
by adding thereto at the end thereof
the following matter, to wit:
THAT no petition for the discharge
of any executor or administrator OF
any estate, over which this Court has
jurisdiction, shall be presented to or
filed in this Court, unless the same
shall contain a statement duly veri-
fled by the petitioner. showing the
names and residences of any and all
persons having such an interest in said
estate, as requires the payment of the
tax on legacies. requests and inherit
ances, pursuant to Chapter So of the
Civil Laws of 1897, and the value of the
interest of such person or persons, and
in the event of there being no persons
having an interest in said estate, re-
quiring them to pay the tax aforesaid,
a duly verified statement by the petit
toner to that effect"
ut is further ordered that the amend
ment herein provided for shall take
effect and be in force from and after
the date hereof.
Dated Honolulu, Feb. 6, 1906"
1t seems that recently, no fewer
than ten cases have been closed VI
without the payment of the inheritance
tax, and in some of these cases the
taxes have amounted to somewhat sub
stantial sums. The law provides that
cases SO closed may be re-opened fol
the payment of the tax, but that Is a
troublesome and vexatious process, be-
sides having a tendency to upset mat
tiers that have been supposed to be
finally adjusted. Besides, when that is
done, the attorney in the case has tc
see that the tax is paid, and In some
cases have been compelled to pay it on,
of their own pockets.
In one case recently opened, the tax
that had to be paid amounted to $1,000
That is substantial sum, and becomes
larger if it is considered that the at.
torney is responsible for it. So the law.
yers will be grateful for the new rule
of court, and the Territory will be the
gamer in the expedition of the pay
ment of its dues.

MOANA GETS IN
AHEAD OF TIME

Like bolt of lightning from clear
sky little tuft of smoke popped up on
the south horizon at half-past four
yesterday afternoon, heralding the ar
rival of the Canadian-Australian liner
Moana, nearly twelve hours ahead of
time. The inspection was soon over
after the steamer arrived off port, and
before quarter to seven she was tied
up to the Bishop wharf. She has a
good through passenger list and three
for Honolulu. Her cargo for this port
consists of 200 cases of onions and 16
packages of merchandise. The through
cargo amounts to about 800 tons of
general stuff, hides, sugar and the like.
The purser reports as follows: "The
R. M. S. Moana, 1000 tons, Captain
John Glib, left Sydney on January
23rd, at p. M, and arrived at Bris-
bane on January 25th, at 11:20 a. m.
Sailed again at IL p. m. same day and
arrived at Suva on the 30th, at p. m.
Loaded sugar, etc., and sailed next day
at 1880 a. m. Had a fine weather run
and arrived at Honolulu February 9TH,
at 7:15 p. m"
The liner will sail for Victoria and
Vancouver at IL m. today.

JAP WITNESS
is ARRESTED

II would like to instruct the Marshal
to have warrant prepared for the
arrest of this witness upon charge
of perjury"
Thus United States District Attorney
Breckons in the hearing before District
Court Commissioner Judd of the Fed
eral Court of the charge of train rob-
berry against Saito, Umida and Hira-
nagi. The three men are charged with
having taken a woman, by force, from
a train on the Oahu railway, and the
witness who was said to have perjured
himself was a Japanese hackman of
the name of Yanogi He told a story
on the stand that was rather flippant,
considering the gravity of the charge
against the men. He had driven Hira-
nagi, one of the defendants, to the
depot in his hack, and had seen nothing
at all of what had taken place, al
though he had occupied a good position
, to see. In fact, although he swore that
he had sat in the back of his hack
| and noticed nothing out of the ordi-
nary. it was pretty clear from other
evidence that he had been where he
could see a good deal that would have
escaped the notice of nobody but a
blind man.
And 1t was at this stage of the pro-
ceeding that the United States District
Attorney ordered that he be taken into
custody on a charge OF perjury. And
then something familiar about the
mans face began to awaken memories
of other times In the mind of Mr..
Breckons. Where had he seen the man
| before?
Mr.. Marshal" he said, at last, turn
| ing to United States Marshal Hendry,
get me the blanket warrant for the
indicated * men of the 'Ten-dollars
clubs"
And there. sure enough, was the
name of Yanogi as one of the men
wanted in that celebrated case, al
though he had up to this time man
aged to elude the officers. A few words
to Marshal Hendry sufficed, and the
witness was soon on his way to Oahu
jail deeply repentant. no doubt. of the
willingness with which he had rushed
inc danger to serve his friends the
kidnapers.
| The case against Umida was dis
missed on motion of United States Dis
trict Attorney Breckons. The other two
Japs were held to answer by Commits
siorer Judd, not under the railway rob
berry section but for the crime Of kid
naping.

GOOD ADVICE
TO MEMBERS

''The members of the Legislature
can gain the confidence of the public
more quickly, can remove any possible
suspicion Of graft more effectually, by
adopting rule that vouchers shall ac-
company every warrant drawn by either
house upon the Territorial treasurer,
said Governor Carter yesterday.
cit is not necessary for them to
submit their claims to the auditor, if
they do not want to do that. But let
them decline to i. sist upon putting
themselves entirely above the law,
and the people who make the law. If
vouchers accompany every warrant
that is drawn, if their officers and the
treasurer be instructed by rule of the
houses not to pay out a dollar for
which no voucher is presented, the peo-
pie will believe that the members of
the Legislature are determined to do
the right thing. 1t will remove even
the faintest hint of suspicion of any
possible wrong-doing.
Now it is, unfortunately, true that
in past times there has been a sus-
picion of graft in connection with the
bills incurred by the Legislature of Ha.
wall. Indeed, it might be said with a
show of truth that there has been more
than suspicion. And in view of this
the suggestion of Governor Carter that
the legislative body adopt a rule to
take itself at once out of the class of
the suspect is suggestion in the line
of good government.
81 have told members of the Legis-
lature who have called on me during
the past few days that it would be UNI
fortunate for the legislative body to
divide on the race line," went on the
governor. 81 have felt that it would
be an unfortunate thing for them to
do that. OF course, ] have issued no
statement of that kind as a message,
1 do not anticipate that the coming
session Will be as harmonious as the
last special session. The conditions IRE
entirely different now.

of one party in both House and Senate

errom thursdays Advertiser,

From Thursdays ADVERTISER
The steamer W. G.. Hall, sailing for
Kauai last night, had among her pas
sengers United States Marshal Hendry,
whom, it is said, was answering hurry
call. When he comes blackwell, when
he comes back, Manuel A. Rego, held
in Oahu Jail to answer a charge of rob-
bing the mails by Exiting" bogus
money orders, will be very apt to have
company in his misery.
1t will be remembered that when the
FIRST story of the shortage at Kolca
was printed, it was said that while
Rego was the postmaster, he had many
other interests, and entrusted the al
ministration of postal affairs largely to
the hands of the assistant postmaster,
John P. Spalding.
When the expose came, Rego blamed
Spalding for the condition of affairs,
and Spalding blamed Rego. Rego was
the responsible head, as being the post
master, and he was arrested and held
to answer to Court Commissioner Judd.
Up to the present moment, Rego has
been in custody alone for the offense.
After Marshal Hendry has been in Ko-
loa about five minutes, it is probable
that Rego will be alone in custody no
longer. Spalding cannot get away from
Kauai. That is one more of the awk-
ward consequences of island wrong
doing awkward, that is, to the doer
of wrong. The officers of justice often
find it a distinct advantage.
All day yesterday the Portuguese
friends, and other friends of Rego
were striving to secure his release on
bail, and if they failed at the last it
was not for lack of good will and the
offer of money. Never before has the
good will of the Portuguese community
of Honolulu seemed to go out with
more unanimity to a fellow in misfor-
tune. The lower corridor of the judi
ciary building was thronged with Por-
tuguese of all degrees, carrying cash and
title deeds to property and other pa
pers showing the possession of wealth,
and all this was to be freely poured
out to prevent Manuel Rego undergoing
the humiliation of second night in
Oahu Jail.
The story of that attempt to give
bail is in itself good one. 1t seemed
that the friends of Rego, rallying to
his support, were prepared to pledge
all that they had in the cause. They
formed, in fact, kind of hui to put
up the bail money, it being agreed that
they would deposit their cash and Sc
curities in the hands of some RESPONSE
BILE man, who would hold them to Sc
cure himself, and would then sign the
bail bond and set Rego free.
The first attempt to form the hui did

penses in Hilo. Here it would be diff
ferent.
New sections were added to include
school agents in the list of persons
elected in counties, and salaries were
suggested. Stewart favored cutting
down the Honolulu school agent, who
is also the assistant secretary Of the
Department of Education, from $500
to $1,000 per annum. Where two dis
tricts on this island were combined,
Eva taking in Waisnae, the amount
was put double, or $le0 per annum,
providing for two agents at $50 each.
The matter of holding the first coun-
ty election was discussed. 1t will be
held on June 6, and the elected Of
ficers will take hold of county Offices
the first Monday in July.
The secretary stated that he address
ed letters to people at various pro-
posed county seats asking what the cost
would be to establish county Offices.
Stephen Desha of Hilo said rooms could
be had there at 800 per month. The
Hilo Board of Trade said rooms in the
Spreckels block could be had for SIC
per room.
d. H. Case of Waikiki said rooms
could be rented cheaply. Letters from
Lihue were to the same effect.

LINER VENTURA

The Oceanic liner Ventura arrived
from the Colonies before eight o'clock
yesterday morning having left Sydney
one hour and eight minutes later than
the Moana. She brought big through

consisted of $50 cases onions, 20 cases
butter, 35 cases gin, % cases liquors, 3
sacks grass seed, 2 cases draperies and
packages merchandise, In all 10 tons
for this port, and $40 tons for San
Francisco.

a heavy list to port.

and the corresponding lack Of strong
minority TO act as check, there can
be little doubt that honest differences
of opinion among the members will
cause break on other than party
lines. My earnest hope is that this will
not take the form of break along
racial lines. The Territory could not
afford to have such a division under
any circumstances.
81 am only an individual" contin-
ued the Governor, "but personally
would much prefer to have the Legis-
lature split on administration and anti
administration lines with natives and
whites on both sides. Naturally would
suffer by such break, but that can be
borne much more easily than if the
racial question again became promI.

In this, too, the Governor is working
for the best good of the Territory.
Hawaii is ON trial before the world,
and if the native Hawaiians persist in
making the racial issue prominent
one, naturally Americans of the main.
land will indulge in criticism that will
not be pleasant hearing to those who
have the good of Hawaii at heart.
The native members, however, say
that there has been no such thing as a
caucus among themselves with view
to the organization of the House, es-
pecially, and they are the men who
should know. Probably, indeed, the
talk of caucuses has all grown out Of
the recent visit of Mr.. Holstein OF
Hawaii to Honolulu, that gentleman
coming into and going away from the
city without making very much fuss
about it. Anyway, talk of the organi-
zation Of the House was hushed, for
the moment, yesterday, although it was
given out that there would probably
be no caucus until all the members
reached Honolulu-and that will not be
until the last Of this week.
Governor Carter was once more hard
at work on his estimates in the mean
time, being closeted in his Office all the
afternoon with Treasurer Campbell.
The members of the Legislature in
town were conspicuous on the street,
but none of them ventured near the
Capitol.

Oil ON the Waters.

Bathers at Waikiki Monday were en-
veloped in oil which foated in from
somewhere out in the deep, deep sea.
There were various explanations, one
being that the fluid was from the oil
steamer Argyll which lay off port Sat-
urday night. At any rate the vista
ton wasn't pleasant but If 1t should con-
tinue there would be fine chance for
the territory to save money on the oil
for Its streets.

REGO IN MISFORTUNE

not succeed, and then the smaller Sc
curities were carried to United States
District Attorney Breckons, together
with an amount of cash to cover the
sum that the securities did not reach.
The District Attorney, however, could
not take cash bail.
"Neither myself nor Mr.. Hendry
would know what to do with it If we
were to accept it," he said.
Then the friends of Rego began Skin.
mishing for more securities, and al.
/ though the required amount was made
up, they could not be examined and
accepted by the closing up time of
Federal offices. And so Rego had to
get into the patrol wagon and go back
to Jail for another night. 1t is more
than likely that he will be released on
bail today.
While the friends of Rego were try
ing their best to get bail for him, the
afternoon papers came out with the
following cablegram sent out from
Washington by the Associated Press:
WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. O.
M. A. Rego, the postmaster at Koloa,
Kauai, has been removed from office
by the Post Office Department on ac-
count of serious defalcations in his of
fee. l.. Kahlbam has been made acting
postmaster at Koloa in place of Rego. u
The new postmaster is deputy sher,
if and deputy assessor at Koloa
1t seems to have been the fact tina,
Rego was led into exiting" money
orders by the pressure of debts tina,
he could not meet. His operations will
be likely to do his creditors little good
because so far as the amount of the
shortage is concerned, namely 1856
the United States government will be
the preferred creditor. This is the le
gal aspect of the case, and is SO wen
understood that in an assignment deed
to all his creditors, filed yesterday
Rego turns over all his property in
trust to James w. Wakefield, of Theo
H. Davies & Co., making the govern
ment of the United States the pre-
ferred creditor. 1t is understood that
after the United States, the heaviest
creditor of the accused man is the
firm of 7. H. Davies & Co. The proper.
ty turned over in the deed is valued at
between $4,000 and 100000.
The story of the operations of Rego
as it comes out slowly, but becomes
the more remarkable. 1t seems that
when he would draw a batch of bogu,
money orders, he would remit by the
same mail slightly lesser sum tc
Honolulu, claiming at the same time
to be building up the postal money or
der business at the expense of the
banks. By these plausible letters he
was permitted to go on exiting" an(
