OVERHAUL
Of BALLOTS
Attorney Gear Wroth
Over Courts
Action.

Almost universal interest in the
county shrievalty contest was disap-
pointed yesterday morning at 10
o'clock, when the Supreme Court only
opened to adjourn Immediately to 10
o'clock Monday morning.
At the adjournment on Wednesday
evening to yesterday morning the con-
test of Curtis P. Iaukea's election as
county sheriff by Arthur NJ. Brown
had been argued and submitted. 1t
was generally expected that the court
would render a decision on reopening
after the whole days recess. Hence
the further adjournment caused large
crowd to dissolve in disappointment.
Directly after adjourning yesterday
the justices consulted in the courtroom
behind closed doors. Some of the
bags of ballots were before them. A
little later Clerk Thompson and the
court bailiff removed from the space
outside. of the counter in the clerks
Office to the courtroom a large table
used by press reporters and record
searchers. Obviously the table was re-
Guired for convenience in the inspec-
tion of ballots.
One of the first of those who OBJ
served what was going on was Geo.
d. Gear, leading counsel for Brown. He
waxed indignant and burst forth in
expression of his feelings.
Did anyone ever hear tell of such
a thing before?'' he asked bystanders.
"a private recount of ballots in an
election contest? 1t is unheard of-a
star chamber proceeding" the attor-
ney exclaimed.
1t was mildly suggested to the irate
lawyer that the ballots were now the
same as a transcript of evidence such
as the appellate court has to have in
reviewing an ordinary case before it.
But ere are hundreds of ballots
there which were objected to-" Mr.
Gear rejoined, and counsel ought to
have something to say about any of
them that the court wishes to recon-
sider.'
About three o'clock in the afternoon
the big folding doors of the courtroom
We're rolled back. Clerk Thompson was
called by Chief Justice Frear and pre-
sently lugged from the courtroom to
the judiciary vault several bags of
ballots.
1t will be remembered that on We'd
nesday afternoon the court met Mr..
Kinney. the leading counsel for Iau-
kea, halfway in his suggestion that,
owing to the experience the court had
gained in it's scrutiny of the ballots
and to the fact that it had modified !
its later from it's earlier rulings, the |
court ought to make another examina-
tion of the ballots of the first three |
precincts Investigated.
From all of which facts it may fair |
ly be surmised that the courts deci- |
sion may turn upon it's reexamination |
of some of the ballots.

GOVERNOR CARTER
ON BONO ISSUES

In his annual report the Governor
makes the following recommendation
of an amendment to the Organic Act
relative to Territorial bonds:
Attention is called in the last COVER
nors report to the restriction which
the organic act placed on the kind
of bonds that may be issued by the
Territory Only those that are re-
deemable after five years and payable
in fifteen years from date can be sold.
This is a restriction which Congress
should remove, as the modern tendency
in finance makes our bonds practically
fve-year bonds and so Snort term as
this renders them undeSirable TO
large class of investors. From sugges-
tions offered by leading financial houses
in New York City it would be far bet
ter for the Territory to be restricted
to the issue of a bond payable twenty
years after date of issue. with a condi-
tion that per cent of every issue
must be redeemed each year, the bonds
to be redeemed TO be drawn by lot.
1t is claimed that such a bond is al
ways more certain of payment. ana
therefore a higher market
price. Such a law would enforce upon
this Territory the necessity of not only
meeting its obligation but of proV1d-
ing a sinking fund for the extinguisn-
ment of II, one-twentieth of each issue
being paid every year.

MADAME PElE
GETS BUSY

HILO, December 5.-As a direct and
immediate result of a visit by Assist
ant Attorney General F. w. Milverton
and Editor Henshall of the Herald on
Sunday, the Volcano of Kilauea, after
months of quiescence, broke into act
ivity and the chances are that there
will be an interesting display of Ma
lures forces for sometime to come.
Arriving at the Volcano House on
Saturday the eminent visitors went
down to the pit of the volcano on
Sunday morning. AS soon as Milver-
ton took a look into the pit the black
lava floor split open and a fountain
of lava spurted into the air. Hen
shall's arrival was greeted with a re-
doubled eruption. They watched the
display for some time and then re-
turned to the Volcano House. In the
evening they descended again and
found that the seam from which the
molten rock was pouring had widened
materially
The travellers returned yesterday but
the Volcano still continues active ac-
cording TO reports from up there.

SMALL BOY GOT
4 KEG OF BEER

An eight year-old boy, a keg of beer
and J. G.. Bregalia, the proprietor of a
Kakaako saloon. were the exhibits in
a police court case yesterday. The sa-
loonkeeper had sold the keg to the lit
tie boy, it is claimed, and the Anti
assembling the trio before Judge
Whitney. Beyond making their formal
greetings to the court, none of the
principals in this case had anything
to do yesterday, the case being con-
tinued until Thursday next.
There were plenty of other cases
continued or dropped yesterday, only
one case out of the sixteen called being
concluded. That was the charge of
drunkenness against Paulo AIigea, who
was fined the usual three and costs.
A charge of assault against Blanche
Martin, the lady who figured in a
habeas corpus case in the Circuit
Court last week, owing to her arrest
on a Jane Doe warrant, was stricken
off the calendar A charge of malicious
injury against NJ Marks was similarly
treated, the complainant asking that
the accused be given a calling down
only.
Four of the frequenters of Joe
Clark's Palama joint, who have been
in court from time to time recently for
an alleged assault on Sarah Kia, had
their cases nol-prossed. L. Renaut and
L. LeonZe, who have also become ia
miliar figures in Judge Whitney's hall
of justice, Were told to come back
again on the 18th, when they will be
given trial and an opportunity of
explaining why they are so prominent
in red-light circles.
On the same day Kajuta will be in
the dock for an assault with a danger
Ous weapon, which he is supposed to
have MADE. On the following day the
cases of five Cinnamon, accused of
opium selling will be considered.

Al KWA|
INDICTED
Head of Gambling Hui
Named by Grand
Jury.

Ah Kwai, alias Dai Kwai, who is
credited with being the proprietor OF
the gambling joint on Achi lane put
out of business for the time being by
the exposures of the Advertiser, was
arrested yesterday on a bench warra nj
Grand Jury, the charge being that of
conducting a gambling place.
The prisoner was placed under arrest
by Henry G. Vida, but did not suffer
the indignity OF being placed behind
the bars, Sheriff A. NJ. Brown releas-
ing him on his own recognizance This
Sheriff is explained at the station by
statements to the effect that All Kwai
was prepared to put up any amount
of cash bail demanded, but that no one
with authority to set the bail could be
found. The cash was rendered and
under the circumstances had to be re-
fused. Then, fearing an action for
damages for illegal detention, Sheriff
Brown ordered the release of the ac-
cused gambler without any bail what
ever.
THAT business of Peacock, you
know said the clerk at the receiving
station, explaining the sensitiveness
of the head of the police force in lock-
ing up anybody with money, even when
an Indictment has been returned
against him by the Grand Jury.
The Achi lane joint of which All
Kwai is the reputed proprietor has
been one of the most elaborat tely-ar-
ranged gambling places in the city,
fitted up with every contrivance known
to the law-breaker to keep out inquisi-
tive persons and policemen who might
want to force the law. The place was
visited a short time ago by the mem
bers of the Grand Jury, and although
great part of the building had been
hurriedly remodeled in anticipation of
just such an invasion, enough was
found to show the purposes to which
the building had been put.
The warrant upon which All Kwat
mas been arrested calls for his appear
ance in the courts this morning at 10
o'clock.

VALUATIONS
The Governors Views
Upon Taxable
Property.

| Governor Carter in his annual report
| shows as follows how taxable values
have been hoisted in Hawaii without
proportional increase of actual wealth
President Mckinley approved the
joint resolution of annexation on July
Z, 1898. by which the absorption of Ha-
waii into the Union became a certainty.
In that year the taxes collected on
real estate and personal property,
under rate of 1 per cent, amounted
to $685., ,O24.
On June IA, 1900, came into opera
ton the "organic act'' passed by Con-
gress and approved April 80, 1900 Dur
ing that year the actual collections,
with a similar rate, amounted to 1884,
455.
the collections amounted to $1,179,99S.
If we deduct the collections made from
March 81, 1906, we will find that, had
there been no change in the law, the
income from real and personal prop
erty this year would have been 81 ,314,
O3S61.
Without further investigation, this
would indicate a great increase OF
wealth. But a slight examination
shows that there has not been a corr
responding increase in the total income
of the Territory. Prior to June IA, 1900,
a large proportion of the revenues
consisted of customs receipts. When
these were surrendered to the Federal
Government it became necessary to re-
place the loss from some new source or
to reduce the expenditures of the peo-
pie. 1t is exceedingly difficult for
community to retrench. People accus>
toned to official management OF vari-
Gus public services-to a form of gov
eminent covering a wide range of func-
tions-are not likely to submit to a
sudden contraction. Hawaii met thN
situation, first, by general acceptance
of increased valuations on real and
personal property; next, by imposing
cut in appropriations
The figures show an increase in in
come from real and personal property
of "A per cent, caused by annexation.
i. e., there was a jump from $535, ,024 in
1898 to 1894, 1922 in 1901. Yet after the
reaction of this sudden imitation had
set in the people submitted to still
greater valuations, and notwithstand- |
ing constant reductions in rental values
and earning capacity, during the next
four years an increase of q per cent |
took place-a jump from 1894, ASP. 80 in
1901 to $1,179,99 in 1905. Now, had |
there been a corresponding increase in |
wealth these figures could be MAIN !
tanned. That the taxable values of |
property have been too high is shown |
by the fact that last year the assessors |
were forced to submit to a reduction or

Lighthouse Is
Authorized.

Without unusual delay, the new front

on the Eva side of the channel, about
opposite the Myrtle boathouse. Cap
tain Slattery, L. S. A, who is in charge
of lighthouse work in the islands, yes
terday received approval from Wash
ington of his plans for the front range
received orders at the same time to
proceed with its construction without
delay.
Bids for furnishing the materials
viii be advertised for, but the light
house Will be constructed by day labor
under the direction of Captain Slat-
by his successor.
The new range light is of classic
design. with pilasters and Grecian
facades. The building is to be con-
structed of concrete blocks and built
OH concrete piers. 1t will have a con-
crete roof and steel floor, both to be
floors, and door and window trim
mings, will comprise the only wooden
features of the building, making it as
nearly fireproof as possible.
The height of the focal plane will be
As feet above the harbor surface. The
height of the base of the gallery above
water is 40 feet and the total height
of the tower will be about so feet above
sea level.
The building consists of a light tower
and dwellings, for two keepers. The
tower rises from the center of the
double structure. At present there is
but one ightkeeper, Bill Williams.
Grand Army veteran, but in future
there will be two lightkeepers.
There is an appropriation of $4,000
for the light and building. The light
is of the fourth order. 1t is red, with
an alternating flash every hve seconds,
so that it will be clearly distinguish
able from any other light in the
harbor.
The Lighthouse Board has made
some minor changes in the design sub
mitted by captain Slattery.s The prin'
cipal change is in the foundations,
which have been ordered to be heavier. |
The board authorizes Captain Slattery
to omit some of the ornamental work
on the building in case the cost of
of the foundation is more |
than anticipated. The front of the |
will face toward the Bishop |
Slip.
