Commissioners ARE
GR!LLtC BY COMMITTEE

The Joint Committee on Counties
came together in the hall of the Lower
House at quarter to eight last night
with Senators Woods, Dowsett and
Hayselden absent. In accordance with
a request by the Committee the Coun-
ty Act Commission was represented
by Cooper, Fernandez, Crabbe and
Stewart The committee wanted TO
know why a lot OF things had been
done and the Commissioners were CIV

Rep Carl Smith was most prolific OF
questions. He wanted to know why
the Commission had put each of the
counties under the special protection
OF a Circuit Court. Chairman Cooper
yentured several explanations which
did not seem to satisfy the members
of the Committee who deferred con-
alteration of the questions involved till
q later date.
Mr.. Cooper was asked as to his view
on the legality of electing supervisors,
to which he answered that when he
was employed as attorney TO defeat the
old County Act he believed that the
Organic Act required the appointment
of such officers by the Governor, but
on further reading and study he came
to a different conclusion and that his
final view was that they could be elect
ed.
The Committee proceeded with the
work of making minor changes so as
to conform to the change brought
about by making Hawaii into two
counties. At nine o'clock some of the

ON TRAIL
OF USURERS

The Attorney-General is going 10
take fall out of the usurers who are
feeding fat upon the native Hawaiian
minor Office holders, and poor people
generally who have been betrayed by
their necessities into the hands of the
sharks.
This kind of thing has been going
on for long time, said Mr.. Andrews
yesterday, land although we have no
criminal usury law, think that these
fellows can be prosecuted under gross
cheat and extortion statutes. Anyway,
am going into the matter pretty thor
oughly, and have learned enough to
convince me that it is time to call n
halt
And, indeed, to see how general the
practice of usury is, il is only neces-
sary to stand and watch the line of
government employees being paid of on
any Saturday night, and to watch the
men who hover about the line and
take their toll. OF course not all of
these are usurers or the collectors for
usurers, still there are many of these,
and they are pretty well known.
Aside from the statutes mentioned
by the Attorney-General the only law
under which the usurers can be reach
ed is civil statute which prevents the
recovery OF interest above certain
figure, but this is evaded in a very in
genious manner. The usurers lend
small amounts at exorbitant rates, in
some cases as high as ten per cent
| month. Besides the note for the
| amount loaned, the usurer exacts n
blank assignment Of salary warrant
| from the borrower, and then has club
| that he uses to the fullest advantage.
No interest is collected on the note,
| but presently the man who has bor-
rowed the first amount finds that his
salary has been held upon the blank
assignment, filed in to call for princi-
pal and interest on the loan. As this
usually calls for all man g salary,
he goes at once to the usurer, and is
tolt that time is up and he must pay.
or course he cannot pay, and if his
salary is taken he must suffer. Then
his pursuer tells him that il he will
] sign a new note for the full amount,
principal and interest, he will be al
lowed to draw part of his pay, and
the new note is signed-and, it is said,
the old one is not destroyed.
The natural consequence Of this Ia
that the poor victim gets deeper and
deeper into the tolls, and presently
draws no more OF his salary than bare
ly suflices to keep him alive. And it is
to stop this kind of thing that the At
torney-General is moving.

Mrs. Henry Highton repeated yester-
day In detail the information given
meagerly in the Advertiser.
Il have had several talks with Mrs
Stanford since her arrival" said she.
I'm one of these talks she stated that
an attempt had been made to poison
her while she was in San Francisco,
and that the matter was being investi-
gated. She cried as she told this. Miss

was with us at the time, and seemed
to know all about this episode.
II tried to quiet her, but she seemed
to be laboring under some great weight
on her mind. She said that she couldn't
understand why anyone should have de-
signs on her life.
Il told Mrs Stanford that she had a
thousand or even thousands of friends
to one enemy She then talked about
herself and brought up the question of
splritualism. To ease her mind i told
her that we all had guardian angels and
that she was protected in all her trav-
els by unseen spirits.
"She told me that she believed in these
things and said she hoped to have es-
tablished at Stanford University de-
partment for the investigation of
psychic phenomena

verses and various extracts of things
regarding the best things of life. and
sent them to her to read. In fact, she
repeated after me one or two verses and
this experiment seemed to take the idea
of being poisoned off her mind.
Mrs. Stanford seemed to stand in
great fear OF her life being taken by
some means, and l believe that she
partly came away from San Francisco
to Honolulu with the intention Of get
ting away from her supposed enemies.
II embodied her fears and part of her
conversation regarding the attempt on
her life. to Mr.. John ID. Spreckes. In
fact, I wrote the letter yesterday morn

THE HOUSE.

Government laborers on roads.
bridges. culverts and similar works will
not receive less than $3.50 a day after
| this, II they receive anything at all,
| for the fiat of the House of Represen-
tatives went forth yesterday afternoon
to that effect by the decisive vote of
/ "a to 6.
The matter came up on third read
| ing of Rep. Aylett's bill to fix $3.50 Il
| day as the minimum wage.
| The author of the bill simply moved
the third reading, but Rice moved in
amendment that the minimum be
placed at 81, as up in his district the
road board only had about $1,000 to
spend and, If the bill carried, 1t would
mean that a few men would get all the
| money and there would be less work
done.
| Greenwich Endorsed this and said that
In his district the people would rather
have smaller wage paid more often
and to more people.
Coelho stood for $3.50 because, he
said, he loved the people and this was
| the time to show his love-
| Nakuina supported the amendment,
but Rep. Sheldon said 1t was impossi-
BILE to expect men to work for less than
$3.50 a day in Oahu at all events and
1t would not do to have $1.50 paid here
and 81 in other parts of the islands.
| Kaniho made one of his customarlly
long speeches supporting the $3.50
minimum.
Pail was for the amendment, and
Rep. Broad came out strongly for the
higher rate, being, as he said, la
| borer himself.
The amendment was lost, only Rice,
Greenwich, Pail and Nakuina voting
for it.
Andrade submitted an amendment TO
the effect that the act should not APP
ply to any public work now in course
of construction under contract. The
amendment carried.

reading and passed as amended by "a

THE TREASURER REFUSES.
At the opening of the morning session

was read in which that official turned
down the request of the House that all
indemnities to Representatives be paid
In cash without being subject to dis
count by the issuance of registered

Treasurer cash the warrants of the
members of the House of Representa-
tives," wrote Treasurer Campbell, II

Act does in Section &c, Chapter 2, pro-
vide for the payment of members of the

Der OF payments into which this

however, provide that the liability thus
incurred shall be treated differently

In those words the Senate yesterday
morning strove to enlarge the powers
of the Joint County Act Committee.
limited by ruling of Chairman Hol-
stein based on the resolution originat
ing the committee. The Introduction
and debate on the resolution was the
momcntous thing in the proceedings
Of the Senate yesterday. President
Isenberg discovered before the session
was called to order, that the County
Act Joint Committee had ruled itself
out, virtually, so far as the consider
alton of acts other than commission
bill was concerned, and had the enthus-
iastic backing of several of his col
leagues in his expressed wish to have
the powers of the committee enlarged
specifically, so as to make it cover all
county matters in its deliberations.
Very early in the session, therefore,
McCandless introduced the first resolu-
ton, intended to accomplish this re-
suit, as follows:
THAT the Special Joint Committee to
which was referred the county law
drafted by the County Act Commission,
are hereby requested to consider any
and all other bills or matters pertain
ing to county government or local con-
troll"

ACHI SHOWS FIGHT.

At once upon the introduction of the
resolution, Dowsett said that he had
intended to ask instruction upon that
very matter. 1t had been ruled at the
committee meeting to consider only the
commission bill. and that ruling was
in accordance with the wording of the
original resolution under which the
committee had been appointed. And
! If no other bills were to be taken up,
/ that would be waste of time.
Achi opposed the resolution, claiming
| that the committee had power enough
under the resolution. II was the duty
of that committee, as OF every commit
| tee, to consider all bills referred to It
| by the Senate, and If it did not do this,
then the bills would come back to the
Senate. He thought that the joint COM
mittee was taking a most extraordinary
course in refusing to consider any bills.
| President Isenberg told him that the
| Chairman of the Joint Committee had
ruled that but one act would be con-
| sidered, and Achi answered that he I'M
| derstood that. But If the joint commit
I tee refused to act, 1t was the duty of
the Senate committeeman to return the
bills to the Senate and report.
| Dowsett failed TO see the force of
| Achis objection TO the resolution. It's
passage would clear all doubt as to the
powers of the committee. Dickey like
wise favored the resolution, but said
! that it should be made a little more
comprehensive. Paris spoke in its favor
also. and then 1t was referred back to
its introducer for amendment.
IT would like some instructions from
the Senators as to how they want IL

ly. He got it. apparently. for he pres
emily came back with it. amended as
above. and it passed without debate.
REVISED STATUTES LAW.
At the opening of the morning ses-
sion a communication from Secretary
Atkinson Informed the Senate that the
Governor had signed the bill legalizlng
the Revised Statutes prepared by the
Code Commission.
A communication from the House re-
ported the passage of the Achl resolu-
ton asking for an estimate of EXPENSE
of the proposed new counties, with an
amendment increasing the committee.
The Senate concurred in the amorf
! ments.
