PREPARING
REBATE BILL
IN COLLABORATION WITH AN ATTORNEY WASHINGTON THE
SECRETARY OF THE TERRITORY Is DRAFTING AN
ACT TO GIVE EFFECT PRESIDENTS RECoNN1ENDA-
FEDERAL REVENUES TERRITORY.

The cable to F. NJ. Hatch, authorized
by the meeting of the directors of the
Merchants Association and the trus-
tees of the Chamber of Commerce, was
sent this morning. The committee APP
pointed to frame and send it consisted
of George w. Smith, president of the
Merchants Association; f. ]. Lowrey,
president of the Chamber of Com
merce, and j. r. Gait. The committee
was not unanimous as to the propriety
of making public the text of the cables
gram before an answer had been re-
ceived, so it was not given out. It's
tenor was of course outlined in the de-
bate, and the resolution adopted by
the meeting yesterday
The best means of securing the rati-
fication by congress of the Presidents
recommendation of the reservation of
three -fourths of the federal revenue
collected in this territory for use in
the territory, was the uppermost topic
of conversation throughout the city
today. In general there was the same
difference of opinion as was evidenced
in the meeting, though the feeling that
a delegation of representative men
ought to be sent at the earliest moment
at which they could begin to be of SER
vice. was by far the most numerously
held.

one 1 have met today, says we ought

CARTER HAS VERY SHORT TALK
WITH sPAULDING OVER MOLO-
KAN AFFAIR

Governor Carter, Land Commissioner
Pratt and Manager Spaulding Of Ma
kee, had a very short conference this
morning over the Molokan land pro-
position. A sudden discovery that there
was no agreement with Spauldmg over
cane contracts with the Russians VIII n
il was supposed that complete agree
ment had been reached, was the oc-
casion Of the conference, which is said
to have been quite as lively as IL was
short Both the governor and Pratt
understood that am agreement had been
arrived at when the Russian represen-
tatiycs We're here, and the governor
is believed to have omphatirally stated
his position this morning and his dis
approval of the obstacle which has

TION KICKING OVER PROPOSE
TION TO ERECT MONUMENT.

Residents of Palama and Kalihi are
Kicking against the proposition of the
japanese erecting band stand at
Aala Park. A well known resident of
that section said this afternoon Il do
not see by what right the japanese are
allowed to erect on the public property
of the county, any monument to their
dead. l do not think it is right If
the supervisors want us to have a band
stand let them build one there but do
not let the Japanese do it, 1t seems
to me that these islands are Japanese
enough already without letting them
erect monuments in the shape of
stands in our public parks"

United States Judge Dole this after
noon gave a stern call-down to At
torney L. M. Strauss, who is defending
u. c. Bertelman on a charge Of imper-
sonating federal officer compelling
the attorney to offer an apology for
using the term "perjurer" as applied
to a witness who was being cross
examined. Strauss was cross-exa-
mining Uehera, who is one of the COM
planning witnesses, and the attorney
quoted some of the witness statements
in a former trial, claiming that they
were inconsistent with the present tes-
timony and intimating that he was
committing wilful perjury.

A mystery of the sea was brought
to Honolulu today by the steamer Clau-
dine which arrived from her run to
Maui ports. An old partially torn life
buoy held the mystery brought by Cap
tain Parker and with the landing of
the buoy was aroused the utmost Gu
riosity along the water front to as
certain the identity of the buoy.
1t had been found on Lanai about two
weeks ago and sent to Captain Parker.
The buoy was of cork covered with
canvas, portions of which were torn.

buoy had belonged as well as the home

United States Attorney Dunno made
a vigorous objection to the use of such
a term in the presence of the jury and
Judge Dole said it was improper. At
torney Strauss wanted to know if he
must have the jury retire while a form
of question was argued.
Il will require you to refrain from
using such language to a witness here
after" said the court, and to offer
an apology or withdraw the question"
Strauss offered an apology which the
court accepted. Then the attorney ex-
cepted to the remarks the court had
made and the cross-examination pro-
ceeded.

1T to be quoted as an example of the
results of intelligence and system, in
official reports and in agricultural
publications, generally. The farm
consists of fifteen acres, but only
thirteen are in cultivation, and ON
these the owner manages to support
thirty head of stock, including seven
teen COWS in milk. and to make a
comfortable living. Of course, with
the limited area at his command. he
does not permit his cattle to pasture;
and one great secret of his success
is due to the fact that not an ounce
of manure is wasted. but all is trans
ferred daily from the stable to the
fields. No fertilizer is bought. There
is no rotation of crops, as every foot
of land is well manured. Rye, tim
othy and clover, corn, peas. oats and
millet are grown, and at least two
crops year are taken from most of
the land. The cattle are fed bal
anced rations-green crops in sum-
mer and silage in winter. with dry
hay or fodder, and bran, oil meal
and gluten. Each COW is given four
ounces of salt every day. One man
and a boy do all the labor. except
during harvest. The milk, which is
kept perfectly clean, is sold for

tenn The growth of the service has
boan rcmarkably rapid, starting only
few wears ago, and there being now
Lotweeu $4,000 and 10000 rural

that about two and a half million
farmers families have been brought
in this way ints- close touch with the
ntlving world. 1t is noteworthy that
when the first ten routes were es-
tabTshed. the service was pronounced
q failure; but continued experiments
demonstrated its benefits, and Con-
uress is to be asked to make larger
appropriations for this purpose.
Rural Free Delivery.
To obtain the establishment of a
route, the proposed patrons must
sign an application for the service.
in which no less than one hundred
families must be represented. This
petition is sent to the Congressman
or Senator from the district, by him
endorsed. and forwarded to the Post
Office Department. A special agent
is then sent to the field, who drives
over the territory to be served. and
reports whether or not conditions are
favorable for the establishment of
the free delivery. His report is re-
turned to the Department, and if the
matter receives approval, the Con-
gresham is notified, and the post
master from whose Office the route
starts is given notice of the date of
establishment. The route goes into
operation forthwith. 1t is hoped
that in time our country will be
covered with the rural delivery SER
vice, which means the saving of so
much time-which is money-to the
farmer, and enlarged opportunities
for making actual money through the
prompt receipt of business CORE
