Risen Lord, T.. Consoles and Frank
Toro met in caneheld at Honolulu
plantation and settled their differences
in fight to the death. AS result
Toro lies dead, slashed with eight
knife cuts and Consoles languishes in
the police station charged with his

trouble. At any rate witnesses state

clothes while Toro was coming up from
his bath. They met in the canefeld.
just what took place is not known, but
Consoles says that Toro struck him
singing blow with whip. What en-
sued was told by Consoles in his brok-
en- English to an Advertiser reporter
as follows:
"Toro, he strike me across my
shoulder and back with whip. I run
away. Bimby ! come back. have

done was like sailors knife, having
blade five inches long with the end

Consoles is n handsome man, well
built, with curly black hair and
mustache. He did not seem to realize
the seriousness of his plight until he
reached the station house, when he
broke down. In the afternoon he had
recovered his composure. He is about
twenty-five or thirty years of age. The
murdered man was twenty-five and

MAHELOkA SAID TO Be
CANDIDATE FOR AUDITOR

1t is said that there is movement
on foot on the part of prominent tax
payers to have the County Act tested
before the date set for its going into
effect, in order that it's legality may
be determined. 1t is argued that It
would be needless extravaganza to go
ahead and install county government
that would not stand the test Of the
courts, as was done before. Just what
shape the proposed action will take
has not been determined
In the meantime, politicians who
want jobs are getting into training,
and the names of candidates for vari-
GUS county offices so far carry GER
tain significance. Among others, it
was said around the Capitol on Satur-
day that Solomon Mahelona would like
to have the job of county auditor of
Oahu.

THE SENATE.

THE SENATE.
The Senate INDUCED in small gale
of talk Saturday just before the noon
recess upon the consideration of the in
heritance tax bill, Senate Bill 100, but
it was not serious, and the session was
rather one of work than of talk.
AT the opening of the session, there
was the usual batch of communications
from the House, among them the bill
fixing the flash test for fuel oil at 100
degrees. The House bill sent up passed
first reading by title, taking the ordin-
airy course.
From the special committee on the
liquor bill, Dowsett presented a report
amending the bill so as to provide that
in order to secure a license the appli-
cant must secure the written consent
of two-thirds of the property owners
within $50 feet in all directions from
the premises where it is desired to sell
liquors. There were some minor amend
ments. The report was laid on the
table to be considered with the bill.
AFTER RAPID TRANSIT.
And then for a moment it looked as
if there was going to be war when
Hayselden introduced resolution cal
culated to stir up the Rapid Transit.
But it went very peacefully. 1t was
only a resolution calling for an in
vestigation, and it passed on call Of
the ayes and nays by Bishop, that gen.
tleman himself ana Dickey alone vot-
ing against it. The resolution was as
follows:

TAXATION BILLS.

Senate Bill 102, relating to taxation,
was on the order paper for second read
ing, the House going into committee.
Knudsen moved that the bill pass
committee by title. This dispensed
with the tedious reading of long bill.
Senate Bill 1913, also affecting taxa
tion, it being the income tax act, was
similarly passed through committee.

A little furry was caused when Har-

at the morning session 10 concur in the
Senate's amendments to House Bill
l25, bill to regulate trust companies.
The motion passed and Harris then
moved that the House do not concur
but appoint a conference committee.
1t happened, however, that the bill
was sent to the Governor at 1850 p. IN.
and Speaker Knudsen was not certain
that the House could ask the return of
the bill, but he consulted the authori-
ties and found that Congress had
power to ask the return of a bill from
the President. The vote carried and
the Clerk of the House was instructed
to write the Secretary of the Territory
requesting the return of the bill.

FERNANDEZ OBJECTED.

Fernandez made a vigorous speech
condemning the proposition to hand
over the regulation of speed of traffic
to the Governor and the Superintend.
ent of Public Works.
Smith defended the bill as good
and sensible measure and in answer to
a challenge from Fernandez staked his
professional reputation on the state
ment that the law as suggested by the
act was perfectly constitutional
Warehouse was not quite satisfied
with the bill and as he thought that
Honolulu was more interested than any
place he moved that it be referred to
a committee of members who are resi-
dents of Honolulu.
Andrade objected to this and met
the different arguments advanced by
the opponents of the bill. He did not
believe in chloroforming the bill by re-
ferring it to any committee, the House
was sufficiently enlightened on it and
if the bill was to be killed it might as
well be killed at once. Drawing COM
PARSONS, Andrade said that in only one
state, New Jersey, was the rate of
speed as low as that imposed here, the
other extreme was in Illinois, where
the maximum rate in outside sections
was 40 miles an hour and in the cities
20 miles an hour.
The previous question was moved
and carried.

THE HOUSE.

The speed, or slowness, Of street
cars occupied the attention of the
House of Representatives Saturday,

reading of the Rapid Transit IS bill

such rate of speed as may be author
lied from time to time by the Cover
nor and the Superintendent of Public
Works. This bill was up for third read
reading as special order of the day.
Andrade moved the third reading.
He explained that only eight miles an
hour was allowed under tho existing
act, while under the proposed bill n
greater rate of speed would be al
lowed in certain places and less rate
would be insisted upon in others. The
rate of speed would at all times be
under regulation.
The discussion was still on when the
House rose for luncheon.
The discussion on the Rapid Transit
bill continued in the House after the
noon recess.

The Basket Dinner Friday. May 18th.

Combining, as it will, several
highly interesting features, Fri
day, May 18th, will undoubtedly
witness the greatest aggregatinon
of educational interests ever seen
in Brookhaven or Lincoln county.
One of the most important of
these will be the basket dinner it
has been decided to have at the
Storm Park at / o'clock. 1t is
understood that the Board of
Trustees and Prof. Scott, of the
Brookhaven Graded Public School,
will see that the necessary tables
are provided at the Park, and it
will then devolve upon the pa
irons of the Brookhaven Graded
Public School and the citizens of
Brookhayen generally, to provide
the basket dinner to be placed on
these tables and see to it that no
visitor that day goes home hum
CRY.
At the various educational
gatherings held at Auburn,
Grange Hall, Fair River and 9TH
er places in the county, the hos
pitable people of those communi-
ties have extended a cordial well
come to all visitors and seen to it
that they were properly enter
tanned. Now that it has come our
time to have the greatest ednca-
tional day in the history of the
county, Brookhayen cannot afford
to do less than initiate the excel
lent example set by these commu
mites. The Brookhaven Public
School and its patrons and that
means Brookhaven will be right
ly considered the hosts of the day,
and The Leader hopes to see all
properly realize this fact and lend
their aid toward making the day
and the dinner in particular a no
table success. Every family in
Brookhaven should make it
point to furnish a well-filled bask-
ct, and then there will be plenty
for every one and to spare.
The stores are expected to close
at IL o'clock.

Los Angeles, Cal, April H..
Mrs. L. Edwards, a dashing
Southern woman, accused of the
theft of over So, 900 from her hus-
band, a wealthy railroad contrac-
tor of Mississippi City, Miss, is
held in the county jail here and
the greatest secrecy maintained
concerning her. She came from
San Francisco BY steamer and was
at once arrested. Diligent efforts
are being made to locate one Hen
ry Simms, who is said to have
persuaded Mrs. Edwards to take
another's cash and elope with
him. Simms was here less than a
week ago, but learned that the
officers were not on his trail and
fed. He is said to belong in New
Orleans.
When Mrs. Edwards was
searched 50, 500 was found in her
possession. She stoutIy main
tained that the money belonged to
her, saying that she and her hus-
band kept joint bank account
upon which she was at liberty to
draw at will. The handsome
blonde takes a philosophical view
Of the situation, merely saying:
Everything will be cleared up

and he is expected tomorrow.
