COUNTY
FUNDS ARE
TOO LARGE
SCHOOL EMERGENCY BRINGS OUT
FACT THAT DISTRIBUTION WAS
NOT WELL CALCULATED.

The school money proposition has the
attention of many officials just now
and they are hoping for a way to get
money. Acting Governor Atkinson,
Superintendent Babbitt, County Attor-
ney Douthitt and the supervisors are
all considering it.
"Where there's a will there's a way
said Atkinson this morning, "and l
think in this case a way will Be found.
We are consulting about it now"
Asked regarding the petition asking
him to borrow money as a temporary
aid to the schools, Atkinson intimated
that he regarded such action as a vio-
lation of the law. do they want me
to break the law and spend unappro-
priated money!" he asked,
"The county has too much money
the acting governor further said. THE
legislature is the body to look after
such a matter. The condition existing
with the schools short and the county
having money for automobiles, shows
that a proper adjustment of finances
was not made. That is a matter fol
the legislature, not for the executive
Let those who have complaints get af'
ter their representatives and have
| things done better next time"

Hi HENRY
AND THE
SCHOOLS
SUPERVISOR LUCAS POINTS OUT
WHERE HE THINKS THERE ARE
JANITOR FUNDS.

"If money is needed 50 badly for the
schools why not cut out Hi Henry's
useless department and save the price
three or four times over of all the jani-
tors that are needed" said Supervisor
Lucas this morning.
Under the first County Act the sher-
iff of this County was appointed high
sheriff without additional pay. The
same thing could be done now and
save a big salary, a deputy's salary, a
clerks salary, and a whole lot of other
expenses. The office of high sheriff
has to remain under the Organic Act
but the duties are really nominal and
could be performed by the appointment
of one of the County sheriffs.
why should the County be called
on? Simply because the supervisors
have been careful of their money and
have a little on hand, there is a call
for it. If we had not been careful and
didn't have any money, no one would
think of coming to the County. Sup
pose the counties did not exist then
the money that we have would have
been distributed among the various
other departments of the Territory.
Would anyone have thought of asking
these other departments to help out?
IF we do help out now every dollar
that we give will be taken away from
legitimate expenditure on our own
work. 1t must be remembered that we
have three steam rollers to pay for,
two rock crushers, and we are build
/ ing a lot of concrete bridges and other

and had not had time to go thoroughly
into the question.
"Of course l could not give an opin-
ion offhand. without going thoroughly
into the authorities" he said, but
casually 1 should say that 1 do not see
how the County supervisors can apprO-
pirate money for the support of purely
Territorial institutions. No person has
any higher regard for the cause OF
education than have I, but that is not
the question. The Organic Act, as
remember it, gives the Territory or
any subdivision of the Territory, the
right to erect educational institutions.
but it says nothing about maintaining
them. Certainly unless my memory
is at fault the County Act gives the
Counties no power to devote money to-
wards the up-keep of the schools.
In the case of the Queens Hospital
the Supreme Court decided that the
Legislature had the right to apprS-
pirate money for the purpose of aiding
an institution which although not a
public one, was used for public pur-
poses and not for gain, but this ques-
tion is not one of what the Legislature
has a right to do, but of what the su-
pervisors can do / viii have my Op-
inion in shape for to-night's meeting.
meanwhile it seems to me that the su-
pervisors have no opwer to grant what
to all intents and purposes would be 4
gratuity"
Attorney General Peters was asked
his view of the case but said that he
had not yet studied the matter SUM-
ciently.
Neither Treasurer Trent nor Auditor
Bicknell had any comment to make on
the matter this morning.

HAWAIPS
SCHEME
MAY FAIL
THE OUTLOOK FOR THE RE
FUNDING BILL Is REGARDED
AS VERY DUBIOUS

The news from Washington does not
indicate that there is very much chance
of the seventy-five per cent refunding
bill being passed by Congress. In spite
of the arguments of the business dele
cation and other Hawaiian representa-
tives in the national capital, the oppO-
sition is unrelenting, and seems to be
quite effective so far. 1t is not thought
by those in the best position to know
that the opposition can be overcome,
and the movement is expected by such
observers to result in failure, as far as
the direct object of the delegations
trip to Washington is concerned.
The trip of the w. o. Smith delega-
tion has, however, accomplished re-
suits which it is believed will be of far
reaching benefit. In presenting the ar
gument for the refunding bill, the del
egates have given the House Commit
tee on Territories some education with
regard to Hawaiian affairs which will
have a favorable effect on legislation
for a long time. Though private cor
respondence from Washington indi-
| Gates that Con gress doesn't like the
refunding scheme, there is thought to
be no doubt that the efforts made by
| Hawaii win help all her other appro-
priations
The strongest opposition is said to be
| that based on thu grounds urged by
| Chairman Payne of the Ways and
Means Committee, who says that Ha-
waii should pay her taAes and go to
Congress for her appropriations, ses-
sion by session like other territories
and states. 1t is pointed out that there
are many sections Of the country
which like Hawaii pay in more thar
they get.
Copies of the record of the hearn!
by the Delegation before the Terrific
riesCommittee were received here to
day and were read with much interest
The general comment was that tn
delegates had very strongly presente
the case for Hawaii.

From all appearance there will be
a most interesting discussion at to-
nights meeting of the oahu Board of
Supervisors over the suggestion of the
Superintendent of Public Instruction
that the County shall contribute to-
wards the deficit i'm the school revenues
which seems to be approaching.
The letter of Superintendent Babbitt
asking the County to contribute has
already been made public. He sets
forth that the appropriation for schools
is already practically exhausted and
asks that the counties contribute. He
suggested in an extremity that the
janitors be dismissed and the ordinary
school cleaning be done by the pupils
and teachers.
That the situation is a grave one is
not questioned for the school teachers
of Hawaii are notorio, ,aIly underpaid
and the idea of crowding menial SER
vice on them is not generally relished,
but the question as to the right of the
County supervisors to devote funds to-
wards the upkeep of schools has al
ready been challenged.
Supervisor e. X. Adams, acting
chairman of the Board, has taken the
matter up with County Attorney Dou-
thitt and the latter will submit an op-
Union at to-night's meeting. Adams is
in favor of doing all in his power to-
wards assisting the cause Of education,
but he is very much averse to being a
party to any action in which the super
visors may exceed their power.
County Attorney Douthitt who was
questioned about the matter this morn
ing had only recently been instructed
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1906-02-27

in consideration of the acceptance he
had allowed the government possession
of surveys and maps costing several
thousand dollars.
The Territorial administration could
not see the matter as Gehr did and
promptly arranged to have the fran
chise offered at public auction. Mean
while Gehr made hustling trips be-
tween here and Washington and Chi
cago and repeatedly declared that he
was going to make all sorts of fight
He protested the sale of the franchise
and left, promising to make things
hum before he got through
Now comes news that Gehr is seek
ing to have the Federal court here Civ
en- jurisdiction such as would allow
the taking of any controversy he may
have with parties here into that court.
Gehr promises a very sensational suit
if given a chance to file it, and claims
to have plenty of backing to fight till
the matter gets to Washington.
Dole's disqualification, it is said, will
result from his having gone into the
ditch proposition several times as gov
ernor, end he will probably be a wit
ness. If he is disqualified, a federal
judge from California will have to be
sent for.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1906-02-27

The news from Washington that A.
&. Gehr is working for the bill to
amend the Organic Act regarding the
Federal court here means that he is
going to make a fight here on the Ko-
hala ditch proposition and wants to
take the matter into the Federal
courts. Nothing has been heard of
Gehr in the ditch matter for a long
time, but he left here for Washington
declaring that there was going to be a
big fight before he gave up what he
declared to be his rights" Dole, it is
said, will be disqualified to hear the
matter.
Gehr was one of the bidders for the
big ditch franchise under which j. I.
McCrosson, Sam Parker and others are
now creating a vast water system
on Hawaii. The matter was negotiat-
ed for several years, before Governor
Dole here and before committees and
departments in Washington and when
Washington finally declared that the
matter was one to be determined here,
Gehr declared that the Territorial ad-
ministration had concluded bargain
with him whereby he was entitled to
the franchise He declared that his
proposition had been accepted and that

ICE TOsSED COAST
ON EXCEL. SIOR BAY
Northwest Gale Breaks Up the Ice and
Hurls Huge Cakes on Shore and
Docks. -. =, -. '-' ..-


Excelsior: bay presented the appear
when a fierce gale from the northwest
began breaking up the ice in the main
lake and piling it up in the bay against
the public piers and the docks of the
street railway company. Excelsior bay
and the other bays on the south. shore
had become reasonably clear of ice by
Friday, the warm days of the first Of the
week making the ice disappear rapidly.
Open spots showed in the main lake and
there were signs of a complete break
up without damage to shore property.
-, But yesterday the gale commenced
and in few hours the lake was seeth-
ing field of rough water and great cakes
of ice. Huge sections half an acre in
extent detached from the main body
and came drifting in against the docks,
the street railway docks being directly
in line and bearing the brunt Of the
attack. Private docks on the entire

The gale continued thru the day and

sections from the north shore came

along shore. Fish houses, neglected
iceboats and other things were brought
in by the gale, some floating and others
carried on the ice cakes. By night the
gale abated somewhat and stopped tho

The storm has broken up the ice in

REFUGEES WILL DEFY
MOUNT vESUY|us AGAIN
Survivors of Eruption to Reopen
Devastated Cities as Soon
as Lava Cools.
By Publishers Press.

BY publishers SresS.
Naples, April 15.-So far as the erup-
tion of Mount Vesuvius is concerned
it is near an end, but there is no chance
at present to make up'"a complete list
Of the dead and wounded. While the
lava, which has poured from the vari-
Gus openings in the crater, is cooling
slowly, it has been absolutely impos-
= sible to search the devastated district.
The army officials, who have been in
charge of the work of relief, state that
everything is now in such shape that no
one need suffer. The refugees from the
stricken districts are being placed as
the hours 20 by, in quarters especially
opened by the authorities and viii
later be transported to agricultural
regions. .
Everything will be done for the dead
and injured, but it seems certain now
that all Of the devastated villages will
be reopened as soon as the lava shall
cool sufficiently to permit Of the es-
tablishment Of the villages along the
line of the funicular railroad.
Among the visitors to the scene of
the devastated area was Sir Thomas
Upton. He was so fully impressed by
the distress that he gave large con
tribution to the charita BILE funds so fa1
contributed. ;
Communication with Professor Mat
tucci was resumed Saturday evening
!. when the telegraph wires stretched BY
the signal corps to the observatory were
reopened. Observer Mattucci, in recog
milton of his devotion in standing by
his instruments at the observatory, has
= been named by the king as com
mander of the Order Of the Grown.
