The Bulletin has no sympathy with

meeting on the Promotion Committee
business that this work OF getting
tourists is IAN idle dream He
wouldn't take the same attitude IL the
wells on his plantation went salt and
he was forced to look around for wa
ter to keep him from bankruptcy.
The trouble with him is that he could
not see anything but a stick of sugar
cane to save bis life-and everything
else il an idle dream.
II does have sympathy however with
those who want to see something more
aggressive done each year. steadily
broadening campaign, and fail to get
anything more than explanations Of
why II can't be done. II has sympathy
for those who are mystihed by a state.
ment one day that the committee can
not broaden out because of lack OF
funds, and the next day an equally
positive assertion that the committee
made up its estimates for the year and
got all the money IL asked for. Dor
The gentleman whom the Bulletin
quoted yesterday appears to believe
that change in management would
have a good effect. This may or may
not be the case. II Is certain that the
people at large would feel deeper

an annual session of the National
Medical Association for Honolulu -four

3 Promotion in the estimation of this
paper means continuous work at home
to keep up enthusiasm as well as seek

Whether rightly or the reverse, the
Committee has created the local i'm.
preston that It has withdrawn into
itself, outlined its plans, and 1t does
Mt make SO very much difference
whether the people are in touch with
what is going on or not. Right or

gradually erecting itself about the
Committee and II is quite sufficient unto
itself. really desiring no suggestions

TUG NOT WANTED;
CAPTAIN SAILS OUT

The tug boat business in Honolulu
harbor would be failure IL all ship
pers followed the example Of Captain
Schmidt Of the barkentine Irmgard.
The doughty little captain sailed his
vessel from the Railway wharf right
out Of the harbor without the aid of a
tug-boat, something that is sufficiently
noteworthy In later years here as to
cause good deal Of comment.
1t all came about, 1t is said on the
waterfront, because Captain Olsen OF
the tug Fearless wished to kill two
birds with one stone. He proposed to
tow the Irmgard and the schooner
Cecilia Sudden out OF the harbor to-
gether. This is at least risky. Cap
tain Schmidt was ready to leave early

BOARD WILL AUTHORIZE
CONTINUED from PAGE ~

When a warrant is issued upon the
County Treasurer by the County
Auditor, It then becomes the duty Of
the County Treasurer to honor and pay
such warrant. and in this belief II
might be added that the duty Of the
County Treasurer in paying such war.
rant is purely ministerial, the County
Treasurer or AutStor not having any
discretion in the premises, such power
being vested in the Board of Supervis-
ors as hereinabove pointed out.
Therefore, It seems to me that tho
County Treasurer cannot go behind the
action Of the Auditor or the Board Of
Supervisors and refuse to honor a war;
rant presented to him which is In due
form, authorized and ordered paid by
the Board Of Supervisors.
Therefore, when warrant No. SO was
ordered paid to Mr.. johnson, the
County Treasurer is protected when
such money Is paid to Mr.. johnson,
and the Treasurer Is. not authorized
or expected to see to 1t that each and
every dollar embraced in the amount
of the warrant is properly paid to the
persons for whom the warrant ID
drawn, inasmuch as the warrant 10
payable to Mr.. johnson. II these
moneys should not be properly applied
by Mr.. Johnson to the persons entitled
thereto, then the remedy OF such per-
sons would be either against Mr.. john
son or the County Of Oahu for non.
payment Of the amounts due them.
In conclusion, cannot see any rea-
son why the Treasurer should with
hold the payment Of this warrant to
Mr.. johnson.

SCHOOL MAY
TAKE [EpER SONS

Acting Governor Atkinson this
morning received letter from T. II.
Gibson, the principal of the Reform
School at Waialee, in which he pro-
poses to place the non.leprous sons OF
leprous parents in the Reform School.
As the boys in that institution practi-
cally pay for their own support the
item of maintenance would thus be
materially reduced. The letter Is az
follows:
Waialee, Oahu.
a. L. C. Atkinson, Acting Governor
Honolulu.
Sir:-I have been thinking over the
proposition of establishing school
for the non.leprous sons OF leprous pa.
rents, for which an appropriation was
made by the last Legislature. and I
don't see what is the prevent those
boys from being sent here. 1t has
been customary to send homeless
boys here. and there are several such
here at present. There is not much
odium attached to boy from this
school. especially among Hawaiians,
anu II tnOSe boys lTOH MOiOhdl CuuS
here they would lose the stigma thai
would cling to them as lepers II they
were brought up in separate school.
| don't know how many of those
boys there are, but II there are oven
thirty we would require another dor
mitory to accommodate them. The
$4,000 appropriated would be sufficient
for that, and that is about all the e&
ira expense necessary. We have tho
"plant" and have made a start, SO
that fifty or sixty more boys would
only necessitate additional room. The
teachers and assistants We have now
would be sufficient. suppose, for the
satisfaction Of the parents Of the boys
now here. It would be well to make ar
rangements for frequent medical ex.
aminations Of the new boys.
1t seems to me that this is the most
feasible solution Of the difficulty.
Very respectfully,
T. H. GIBSON.

He replied that he had written the
Chairman Of the Board Of Supervisors
concerning the facts. He did not care
to talk for publication.
1t was said this morning that a spe-
cial meeting OF the Board would prob
ably be called at once, since the labor

that the matter would not be left over
until the afternoon session.
Nothing came OF the talk Of a spe-

Laysan Island near the end Of June

The Woodbury. made her first trip
to Laysan and back in thirty-six days,
but was delayed going down by an ac-
cident off Kauai and had unfavorable
winds coming back, besides staying at
the island to load longer than the Lavi-

A ground for uneasiness is the big

charge OF his duties. Once before he

FRU|TlE& SEARCH
BY CLERKS
FOR KBlEl'S BIND

Court Clerks Simonton and Marcel
limo and BailiT Quinn this forenoon
completed the search of the court rec
ords for the missing $4,000 bond which
p. ID. Kellett furnished as trustee Of
the Barete estate. 1t was hoped that
the bond would in some way have
slipped away among the hundreds Of
other similar documents which are
kept on file in the office of the clerk
of the Supreme Court, but this theory
has now been abandoned. The three
officers named made complete
search of all the bonds on file, open
ing and examining every paper, but 4,
was all in vain. and the whereabout,
of the missing bond still remains q
mystery.
Furthermore. no record of who the
hondsmen were has been found, and
no information regarding their iden.
tity hsa been received. which could be
used as secondary evidence in an eff.
fort to hold his bondsmen responsible.
This seriously complexities the matter.
so that II Kellett chooses to withhold
their names, It is possible that they
will escape their responsibility.

flee, Edwin X. Fernandez. this morn.

In the afternoon. The schooner was
not quite ready to sail, and getting his
Teutonic dander up because the Fear
less was not quite ready to tow out,
Captain Schmidt ordered the lines cast
off and sailed out Of the harbor neatly.
A slight northerly breeze made the
feat easy, and doubtless Captain
Schmidt found plenty Of satisfaction in
sailing calmly and serenely away from
the Fearless.
Before the Fearless came to Homo
lulu, the sailing of vessel out Of the
harbor was a common occurrence
When the channel is Strengthened and
the harbor dredged, there will probably
be more of the like.

PROMOTION AND THE PUBLIC

The interview given the Bulletin last
evening by a leading business man is
one Of the evidences that the Promo
tion Committee is out Of touch with
the people Of the city. Success In
work Of this character demands that
there shall be a spirit Of hearty CO.
operation between the managers and
the people who are backing the pro-
gram. The hackers In this instance
include all those who pay freight. 1t
has appeared to the Bulletin and not
few in the community that the en-
thusiasm with which the hackers back
the managers has been growing beau
tifully less.
What the exact cause Of this may be,
is naturally a matter difiicult Of de-
termination. While II exists however,
there can be mighty little progress.
