first census was taken after annexa-
ton. Mr.. Girvin was made a superin-
tending enumerator and appointed
others on the different islands. His
work in that department was recog-
nized as superior, for he had always a
penchant for statistics.

ian Gazette Co. in June, 1905, as H.

satisfaction of his employers up to the
time of his death. He has been a fire.
quent contributor to the local and for
eign newspapers and magazines and his
articles have been widely read. His
last effort was made on Saturday
night, for publication in the Sunday
Advertiser. 1t related to the John
Cummins claim and was pointed and
interesting to those who have followed
that case during the past eleven
years. He was appointed jury COM
missioner by Governor Carter about
two years ago.
He leaves a widow and six children,
two Of them, boy and girl, in Berke-
ley: one daughter, the wife of w. H.
Rice, Jr., on Kauai, and three, a young
son and two daughters, with their
mother at the residence on Kinau
street. A married sister resides in
California.
Mr.. Girvin did not leave the Gazette
Office until late Saturday afternoon,
leaving shortly after drawing his pay.
He was in his usual spirits and made
some Joking remark when the cashier
called to him to know If he wanted
his money. He did not go home to din
ner Saturday and his son Clarence
came to the office to inquire after him.
A few minutes later Mr.. Girvin came
in. but his son had left. He did not
appear at his home Saturday night, and
on Sunday Clarence again called. Mon
day morning he made another visit to
the office. but as his father was not
here he left again and spent the morn
ing looking for a clue to his fathers
whereabouts.
From the condition OF the body when
found 1t is believed it was in the
water nearly three days and this leads
to the belief that Mr.. Girvin took the
wrong car Saturday night, discovering
his mistake, perhaps, when near the
waterfront, and fell in owing to the
poorly-lighted thoroughfare in that
section of the town.
The funeral will take place at $3.50
this afternoon from the undertaking
rooms of H. H. Williams, interment to
be in Nuuanu cemetery.

Yesterday afternoon the body Of q
man was discovered floating in the har.
Dor near the Fort street wharf, which
| was afterward identified as that OF
James w. Girvin. The body was dis
covered and brought to shore by a
waterfront policeman, Chas. Mulleitner,
and was Immediately taken to the
morgue.
| 1t was some time before the body
was identified, the features being al,
tered through the length Of time the
body had been in the water. but a
search Of the clothing resulted in the
finding Of a number Of letters. the adj
dresses upon which left no doubt as to
the identity Of the deceased.
An inquest as to the cause of death
has been ordered and will be held this
afternoon, although the attending cir
cumstances make 1t plain that a YER
dict of accidental drowning will be
found. There is nothing at all to lead
to any supposition of foul play, the
money, watch and other jewelry Of the
deceased being found on the body.
The deceased was last seen alive on
Saturday night about midnight, when
kea street in the direction of the water
front. There was nothing whatever
unusual in his appearance or manner.
and the supposition is that he was
walking along the front and in the
darkness missed his way and plunged
over one of the docks into the water.
After the body had been identified It
was removed from the morgue to the
undertaking parlors of II. H. Williams
James W. Girvin was born in Canada
about fifty-six years ago. being a son
of district magistrate Of the crown.
He came to the islands in 1865 and re-
NAMED until 1886, during which time he
was engaged in mercantile pursuits in
Waikiki, Lahaina and Hilo. For a
time he was a manager at Lahaina for
one of the stores of Archibald ClegAorn
and filed the same position in Hilo
for the same gentleman.
He was more or less interested in
politics during the reign of Kalakaua
and opposed strenuously the Gibson
intrigues. He left with his family for
San Diego, he having married on July
16, 1873, Miss willfong, sister of the
present tax assessor Of Hawaii County,
In San Diego he was engaged in BUSH
ness during the next few years. When
the Reform party came into power he
was appointed Hawaiian Consul at that
port, resigning in 1898 and going on
the road lecturing on Hawaii, bringing
the beauties of the place into public no.
tice. In January the following year
Mr.. Girvin returned to Honolulu, his
family following in June.

There are plenty of good laborers In
demand for that kind there, and they
can get bigger pay at home than here.
"Of course, to get European labor
here and keep 1t here the pay must be
adequate. The wages paid on the Ha-
waiian plantations can not be expected
to be an inducement to hold white la
borers In the Territory. Not in the

1t is quite likely that the decision of
Mr.. Sargent to travel to the Coast on

dent that the Japanese immigration
question has been something that Mr..
Sargent has been going into pretty

the presence of the Consul Generals of
the two Oriental races at the wharf to

a rather significant thing. To travel

MUST BUY WATER WORKS.
United States Court Decides Against
City Of Aspen.

st. Paul, Minn.-The city OF Aspen,
Colorado, must purchase the water
works of the company which is supply.
ing the needs of its citizens, as a re-
suit of a decision handed down by
Judge Sanborn in the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals.
When the city gave a twentyyear
franchise to the Castle Creek Water
Company in 1885, one of the provi-
sions insisted on by the city was that
by giving notice one year before the
expiIStion of the franchise, the city
could purchase the plant, the value OF
which was to be determined by ap.
praisers appointed by the two parties.
When the time arrived for its deci
sion the city gave notice of its inten.
tion to buy the plant, but later re,
scinded its action. The water company
sued to have the city compelled to
take the plant off its hands, but lost its
case in the lower courts.
The Court of Appeals, however, de
cided that the franchise was legal
provisional contract: that the provi-
sions of the contract had been lived up
to when the city made its first deci-
sion and that that decision is binding
and cannot be evaded. The decision
of the lower court is reversed and the
case remanded to it with instructions
to appoint master in chancery who IS

the plant and enforce performance OF

WEALTH OF NEW YORK.
Twenty Five States Valued at Less
Than the States Untaxed
Real Estate

The enormous material wealth Of
the state of New York is in no way,
perhaps. more clearly marked than in
the fact that the total amount of real
estate-land and buildings-exemp
from taxation is larger than the total
assessed wealth of % of the 45 states
of the country, states the Sun.
New York has 81 800 ,00o, 900 of real
estate exempted from taxation. 1t has
$1S5,00o 900 represented in churches
and church buildings. 1t has $780,
100000 in hospitals and charitable in
stitutions. 1t has Sl00,0O0,O00 in
schools, exclusive of $50 1000 900 in
colleges. universities and other build
ings wholly devoted to the purposes
of instruction.
The city Of New York includes, OF
course, by far the largest proportion
of these holdings. though in the mat
ter Of church property the land and
buildings outside of the city of New
York represent total value of $780,
600 900
The federal government has $780,
900 900 worth of land and buildings
in the state of New York, of which
100000, 900 worth is in New York
city and sG,500.00O worth in Buffalo.
The state itself has $4,000, 900
worth of property. land and buildings
throughout the state, of which by far
the largest single item is at Albany.
There is sG0,o00,000 of property
