TAX LIEN

Achi's KapioIani Tract

I'm the absence of any statutory

| James L. Holt, assessor and collector
| of taxes, V. w. c. Achi, Kapiolani Es-
tate, Ltd, German Savings & Loan
Society of san Francisco and Jas. F.

The case was a bill in equity Drought
| by the tax collector to enforce by fore
| closure a statutory lien for delinquent
| taxes, namely, S2a45.93 for the year
| 1902 and $14G0 for the year 1903, upon
certain lands of the defendant Achi,
! together with the penalty imposed by
| law for nonpayment of taxes Achi
bought the lands from Kapiolani Es-
tate in 1901, securing payment for the
| purchase money of $500, 600 by mort
gage of the property. The mortgage
was assigned in 1902 to the German
Savings & Loan Society. Achi, after
mapping out and selling certain of the
lots, made a trust deed to Jas. F. Nor
gan. Tax Assessor Holt recovered
judgment in December, 1908, against
Achi for the taxes, but an execution
and alias execution were success
sively returned as no good. Holt
brought this suit in equity to fore
close the lien for taxes. Judge Robin
son sustained demurrers to the bill,
on the ground that the case was not
one of equity jurisdiction. and dis

On the law found as above the decree
is reversed and the case remanded to
the Circuit Judge with leave for the
defendants to plead or answer within
ten days.

When the suit was brought there
was nothing in the statute to enforce
tax liens in equity-and this is where
the fight came with hosts of author
tiles flung in--but a law passed in 1905
as the opinion of the court mentions,
provides for foreclosure of such tax
liens lin the same manner and form
as ordinary foreclosure proceedings"
So this decision is important, in its
effect. only for it's governing of such
tax cases as may have originated be
fore the law was thus amended. It
is important enough in respect to the
case that has brought it forth as $4,000

YOUNG GIRL SINGS At
Her OWN FUNERAL

CHICAGO. February 19.-Attend-
ants wept at the funeral yesterday
afternoon of Miss Minnie Nelson when
a large photograph was placed beside
the casket and there floated out of
the bell the strains of a song the dead
girl had sung but a few days before
into the machine. The weird expert
ence of a girl singing at her own
funeral made strange impression
on the audience.
The voice, a beautiful soprano, was
reproduced from the monograph, into
the receiver of which Miss Nelson had
sung a short time before her death the
old hymn, Nearer, My God, to Thee"
In addition another sacred song and
plaintive ballad We're heard the orig
inal quality of the voice being well
preserved.
Miss Nelson was a music teacher.
She was taken i'll a few days ago. Her
death came suddenly and was a great
shock. She had sung into the phono
graph at a party of young friends.

CRISIS IS
DyNAST|C
Some New Light Upon
the Situation in
China.

LONDON, February 19.-The Tri
bune's correspondent at Picking, in {
dispatch discussing the growth of the
American boycott into an anti-foreigr
and anti-dynastic agitation on the dis
covery that the boycott has united al
parties and all faiths into a common
purpose" says:
LAS time has advanced control has
passed completely from the hands OF
honest merchants to the revolution.
aries, until now it has become a great
weapon to overthrow the Manchu dy-
nasty. Meanwhile the Government
energized by Japan's success, awoke
to China's position in the scale of ma
tions and instituted wide-reaching re-
forms. Today the Dowager Empress
is, under Yuan Shi Kai's advice, the
foremost reformer in the empire.
The mass of the people believe
China is capable of assuming her
place at the head of nations and blame
the Government for being proforeign
and obstructive.
Yuan Shi Kai possesses an
equipped and disciplined army, but he
has been unable to control its poll
teal opinions. The Governments at
is at so per cent. discount. Hence there
is discomfort in the army and owing
to the inability OF the officials to pre-
serve the standard of pay which was
guaranteed, trouble recently broke
out at the Paotingfu army headquar-
tiers between Chinese and Manchus,
leading to the murder of several of
the Manchus.
THE situation is that if an upris-
ing occurs now the court will take
refuge in the foreign legations. Yuan
Shi Kai is responsible for the safety
of the imperial personages, and dread
ing disaffection among the troops and
fearing the proximity of the artillery,
he has dispatched a force of disaffect-
ed Chinese with twenty-fOur guns
against the bandits and guerrillas, a
service in which it will be absolutely
ineffective.
The ice will break up soon and as
recent experiences have demonstrated
the impossibility of transporting guns
across the mud flats after the thaw,
the presumption is that Yuan Shi Kai
has removed the danger where the
blowing up of a single bridge by the
guns would cut off Picking.
THE crisis is anti-dynastic and only
incidentally anti-foreign. OF the 500
Chinese students in Japan 500 of them
are ManchuS. These all carry re-
volvers as protection against their
Chinese comnatriots.
Danger exists at Kwangtung. All
the Chinese in san Francisco are

EVA HOLDS ITS
ANNUAL MEETING

The report of Manager G. F. Renton,
Eva Plantation Co. yesterday, was a
very satisfactory one. The sugar pro-
duction for 1905 was 1900 tons greater
than the estimate made, 80, ISL tons
having been produced from the 1882. 46
acres under cultivation in that crop of
the Eva Plantation Co.'S land and 454
tons from the $3.50 acres of the Apokaa
Sugar Co. The estimated tonnage for
1906, although from a greater acreage,
will not be as great being placed at
%, 900 tons from 1905 acres. The de-
crease will be owing to the ravages of
the leaf hopper and the cold weather
OF the first three months of 1905 The
1907 crop has secured good start and
should show good returns.
OF the permanent improvements put
in during the year in the fields the
most important We're relaying of three
miles of track with 30-lb. rails and the
purchase of a 22-ton engine and SO
cane cars to add to the rolling stock.
Three cane loading machines were also
purchased and are working satisfac-
torily.
Large expenditures on improvements
and requirements in the mill were
made, the largest item being the in
stallation of six new boilers of 200
horse power each. s1016 was also ex-
pended for sugar bran machinery. The
officers elected were: E. D. Tenney,
president; c. NJ. Cook, vice president;
G. H. Anterior, secretary; w. A.
Bowen, treasurer: T. Richard Robin
son, auditor, and J. B. Castle, to serve
with the officers as director.

womanhood Mr.. Wood said that wher
. Tom Richardson made statement IL
, was to be believed.
He suggested that il would be a
pretty compliment for the Promotion
Committee to tender the Oregon girls
a dinner on their return from the vol
cano The members thought this q
wise suggestion and adopted ii with
enthusiasm. The dinner viii be serv-
ed at the Moana Hotel and aside from
the Oregon girls the other guests will
be mem bers of the Promotion Com
mittee and the Press.
Mr.. Wood also spoke highly of Mrs.
Weat herred, the chaperon OF the party.
He said that the lady was well-known
all over the United States and she
was a member of most of the press
associations. She had been a commits
sioner from Oregon to most of the re-
cent expositions. He felt that Mrs.
Weatherred could do much for Hawaii.
She told him that she would present
Hawaii to the next session of the Ma
tional Press Association at Indian
apolis for one of the annual sessions.
Mr.. Waldron reported, as the COM
mittee of the Promotion Committee on
the entertainment of the New Zealand
check representing $40, the amount
left over from the entertainment fund.
1t was proposed that this be used to-
ward the entertainment of the Oregon
girls.

SANTA FEE WILL HELP.

A circular letter written by Secre-
tary Wood to the Santa Fee headquar-
tiers at San Francisco was shown, also
a letter from that headquarters. The
General Passenger Agent stated he
would send the circular to all their
agents and he also issued instruction
to pull for Hawaii as a health re-
sort.
The circular letter indicated several
of the good points of climate and at
traction in Hawaii, and was designed
to divert traffic from the EASTERN roads
which are using all their advertising
efforts to send travel toward Cuba and
the Bahamas.
DIR. NOBLE PRESENT
DR.. Emily Noble was present at the
meeting. She made a proposition to
the committee that she be given as
sistance in the preparation of a Ha-
waiian lecture to be delivered on the
mainland She asked for colored
slides. She stated she had the entree
to women's clubs all over the United
States, and any hotel parlor would be
open to her to give lectures. She stat
ed that she lectured before the wealthy
classes, and once gave a lecture at
the home of George Gould. She had
come here originally to collect folk
lore stories, and now wished to add to
her magazine writing by lecturing on
the islands.
The committee endorsed the Para
disc of the Pacific's proposition to get
out a special number in March devoted
almost exclusively to the Floral
Parade, to be filled with illustrations of
the parade.

RUNNING SORES
COVERED LIMBS
Little Girls Obstinate Case of
Eczema - instantaneous Relief
By Cuticura-L Little Boys Hands
and Arms Also Were a Mass
of Torturing Sores - Grateful
Mother Says
"CUTlCURA REMEDIES
A HOUSEHOLD STANDBY"

In reply to your letter write YOU
my experience, and you are privileged
to use it as you see fit. Last year,
after having my little girl treated by a
very prominent physician for an obsti-
nate case OF eczema, l resorted to the
Cuticura Remedies, and was so well
pleased with the almost instantaneous
relief afforded that we discarded the
PHYSICIANS prescription and relied en-
tlrely on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura
Ointment, and Cuticura Pills. When
we commenced with the Cuticura Rem
edies her feet and limbs were covered
with running sores In about six weeks
we had her completely well, and there
has been no recurrence Of the trouble.
In July of this year little boy in
our family poisoned his hands and arms
with poison oak, and in twenty-four
hours his hands and arms were a mass
OF torturing sores. We used only the
Cuticura Remedies, washing his hands
and arms with the Cuticura Soap, and
anointed them with the Cuticura Oint-
ment, and then gave him the Cuticura
kesolvent. In about three weeks his
hands and arms healed up; so we have
lots OF cause for feeling grateful for the
Cuticura Remedies. We find that the
Cuticura Remedies are a valuable
household standby, living as we do
twelve miles from a doctor, and where
1t costs from twenty to twenty-five dol
lars to come up on the mountain.
