THE LION AND THE MOUSE.

THE LION AND THE MOUSE.
 John Burkett Ryder, the acknow- ledged leader in the financial world in which he is known as Ready Money" Ryder is the dominant figure of the Lion and the Mouse at Polls tonight The coterie of moneyed magnates of which he is the head has, been halted in it's career by an ad- verse decision rendered by Judge Rossmore. In retaliation Ryder ard his friends secure with the aid of corrupt politicians Judge Rossmoro's temporary suspension from the bench because of alleged fraudulent prac- tices. His daughter Shirley sum- moned home from Europe returns to find her father dishonored, bank rupt and broken in health. Ryder alone is in possession of the proof of her fathers innocence and she de- termines to secure 1t from hin. Through an ingenuously plausible chain of circumstances she becomes member of the Ryder household winning the affections of the family and becoming almost invaluable as a friend and adviser to Ryder. The struggle between the ''lion" and the mouse" is rapidly approaching climax when the love story of Jeffer- son and Shirley suddenly becomes known to Jefferson's father, which climax suddenly assumes a vital is- sue in the situation that is striking!y but logically dramatic. Mir Klein hes brought about the happiness of Shir- ley's romance and her triumph with out straining at the possibilities but with finely commendable logic. Prices are 25, 50, 75, $1.00 ant $1.50.

NEW YORKNOTEA(
SAYS CAMPBELL TO
BUY HAWAIIAN BONDS

A letter has finally been received
from Treasurer Campbell, dated New
York, January 20, in which full details
are given of his sale of the $75O,OOO
bonds to Kountze & Co. The letter.
which, with the exception of the cable.
gram announcing the sale, Is the first
message from Campbell since he de-
parted on his mission, reads in part as
follows:
ION arriving here, found that on
account of the high price of money
and the unsettled condition of tho
money market generally, that nobody
was very anxious to talk bonds, espec.
Tally at the prices which you and had
in mind. However, after good deal
Of work, a couple of houses took the
matter under consideration and Messrs
Kountze & Co, made a definite offer.
The parties to whom we formerly sold
our bonds were not Interested at all,
and were even doubtful II they would
made bid ~ put up at public salt, as
they said the margin was too small
However, the house to which the bonds
have been sold, is one Of the Oldest and
weathlest in the city.
"Messrs. Dillon & Hubbard have
passed on this sale, although made
privately. on the grounds that the fig
ure obtained by the Territory is a fig.
ure in excess Of the figure Of the last
sale. That in arriving at the figure Of
any two sales where the rates of inter
est are different, they must be reduced
to a common basis before compari
son can be made. The figure of the last
sale Of Public Improvement Az Bonds,
when reduced was approximately q
400 basis The figure of this 3h per
cent Public Improvement Bond when
reduced Is a 1866 basis: in other words,
a much better figure.
"The future delivery feature Of this
offer is favorable to the Territory, and
without II, fear no sale could have
been made Just at this time, even at 9S.
| My reason for recommending a private
sale at this time Is that there was a
great possibility, II put at public sale
of nobody bidding on them, on account
OF the low rate of interest and of the
very unsettled condition of the money
market. No two bankers seem to have
the same idea Of the prospect month
ahead, but all hoping that the money
market would be better but fearing that
II would not"
Campbell further wrote that HI

In connection with the sale Of tn,
bonds Campbell said that on the yer,
morning on which he sold the bonds

CRY FROM WAILUKU

Editor Evening Bulletin: - "More
Cottages",
Like a great cry of distress from
scores of home.seekers II has rung
through Waikiki for years. And the
owners OF city lots heard the cry,
thought about II for day or two
and there II ended. No one put up a
single cottage to relieve the great
need. | said no one. This Is not quite
correct. Mr.. w. T. Robinson is an eX.
ception. Besides the Bismark Stables
and large business block several
neat little cottages stand as lasting
monuments TO his energy and enter
prise, and his example is well worthy
of emulation. Many families who
wished to settle down here In this the
prettiest, most picturesque of all Ha'
waiian towns, with n climate surpass
ingly sweet, have been compelled to
seek their homes elsewhere for want
of house, and there are many people
in Wailuku today who are only too
anxious to rent cottage at monthly
rent of from ten to twenty dollars, but
there is not one to be had.
With long.headed foresight, Wailu'
ku's rival, Kahului, has begun the cree.
ton of a number of cottages. Unlike
Waikiki, Kahului does not believe in
shutting off all possibility of a benefi'
cial influx OF strangers, of desirable
newcomers and settlers. She wishes
to be ready to receive them, to draw
them to her, and to hold them.
It is not difficult to foresee the re-
suit. The present relative positions OF
the rival towns will be reversed-the
hegemony will pass from Wailuku to
Kahului.

Wailuku-To the rescue!

then closed my case with a very strong
aud effective legal argument quoting
a long line of presidents to establish
the fact that even If all the returns
were thrown out except those of the
twenty.six precincts in which no mum.
bered ballots were shown to have been
cast, the final result would have been
unaffected, and my election would
stand. Both General Dudley and Mr..
Mcclellan argued largely from the
analysis of the election returns by
precincts. which had been prepared by
MIR. Mcclellan and made part of the
brief of the contestee.
The case was closed with another

To SearCh
Eva Road
Tax Fund

There will be taken before the
Grand Jury, now in session, the mat
ter OF the special road ia deposit
fund, as far as the district of Eva is
concerned. that II may be determined
by investigation, what has become OF
the money OF to what use II Is being
put!
A Government official stated this
morning that he himself would take
the matter before the Grand Jury with
ter of the special road tax reposit
ton had been made of the fund.
Before the County Act was passed
there was to the credit Of Eva. In the
special road tax deposit fund, some
thing like seven thousand dollars. II
was said that the County of oahu was
not entitled to this amount, the money
having been collected before the
County came into existence. All mon.
ey that has been collected for the
fund, for Eva, has, since the County
Act was passed been turned over to
the County. but the $4,000 remains
to be accounted for.
The Oahu County Supervisors dis
cussed the matter OF the amount pre-
viously collected and whether or not
the County was entitled to 1t. Now II
is claimed that the public has right
to AT accounting of this fund. He
who will take the matter before the
Grand Jury. states that the proposed
proce eding is the only way by which
II can be learned how the money. IL II
has been spent, has been disposed of
The idea is to bring out whether the
money has been expended according
to law or without proper observance o.
the formalities.
