Tooth Carpenters Sore
Over Appointment
OF DR.. High

Following close on the heels of the
Queens Hospital row, to which anes-
thetic seems to have been admins
tered lately, comes prospective up
roar in the camp of the dentists. The
tooth carpenters are sore and they
don't make any bones about saying SO.
There Is an ulcer at the base of the
matter which they think should be
lanced at once.
The trouble all arises over some OF
the recent appointments made by A.
l.. c. Atkinson when he was Acting
Governor. The one to which the dem
fists particularly object is that of c. b.
High to place on the Board of Dental
Examiners. The other dentists think
it is about time there was change.
High has been member of the Board
term after term, and they think it is
time for him to step down and out
and give somebody else a show. There
are about 25 dentists In Honolulu, and
they can see no reason why one man
should be appointed and reappointed
time after time.
The other members OF the Board are
George Huddy, who is also reappoint-
ed, and George Grossman. Huddy's re-
appointment is also the cause of a
kick. He has left the Territory for a
protracted absence and will not re-
turn until after .she expiration of his
term. One dentist says he thinks At
kinson's reappointment of High is an
outrage, and he says the same senti-
ment prevails among the other dem
lists. What will be done in the mat
+, ter is not yet decided, but 1t is stated
that the tooth pullers are going to take
some seps to let the authorities know
what they think about the whole mat
lter
This is the first that | have heard
of any such kick" said DR.. High
when asked about the matter this af-
ternoon. II did not seek the appoint
ment and / do not care particularly
about holding 1t. If anybody else
wants it he can have It, | am not 60
ing to make any fight for it,"
DR.. High stated this noon that he
had not heard of any objection to the
membership of the Board. so far as
| am concerned they can have it," said
Dr.. High 1T Is gratuity and you
may be sure that am not looking for
the position. If the alleged kickers
have anyone acceptable to the Execu-
tive who wants the place, let 'em have
it,"

SOLDIERS MIXED
AH(RBORS COWS
Beasts Deyoured Majors
Lawn and PriYateS
Had Cream

The soldiers at Camp Shafter had
cream in their coffee this morning
The owners of the COWS didn't. And
Major Dunning, in command of the
camp, was the cause of it all.
Major Dunning is trying to get the
camp into good shape and make a
pretty place of it. He has planted fine
lawns about the officers quarters and
other places and keeps the soldiers
busy watering and tending them. And
every morning the Major comes out
and looks over his handiwork and ex-
amines the green blades to see how
much they have grown over night
The only trouble is that the neigh
bors' COWS won't leave the grass alone.
The wild, ferocious creatures sneak
through the infirm fence every night
and wander playfully about the Ma
jor's doorstep, eat his nice green grass
and trample up his flower beds.
Major Dunning does not appreciate
these kindly attentions. He things
something ought to be done about it,
and as the owners of the cows do not
seem inclined to do anything, the Ma
jor has taken matters into his own
hands.
Last night he had some of his men
corral all the cows and shut them up.
The soldiers did the rest. They went
out after dark and milked the cows.
And this morning, as was stated be-
fore, the privates and corporals@ and
sergeants had unaccustomed cream in
their coffee The officers were dis
creetly blind.
The Major made some inquiries
about the pound law and learned that
it is not the duty Of the owner of Il
COW to build fence to keep cow in
but it is up to the man who wants to
keep the beast out to build the fence
around his own place. But the Major
says he has no time to spend in build
ing fences. He is in command of the
camp, and he will make his own pound
laws. Whenever the cows get into his
grass he will have them impounded
again and the soldiers will get more
cream.

INDIANA WILL

Away

"The Indiana win pull out tonight at
II or 8 o'clock" said Maxine this
morning as he stood behind his desk
with his Vancouver-bound Japanese
passengers around him. Il am not
through with these people," continued
Maxine. "They want to go to Van
couver on the Indiana. The doctor
will inspect the Japanese passengers
soon as they have settled with me. OF
course, / have not very many Japanese
passengers going, but there will be

"Is A. V. Gear going" asked the re-
porter. 3
Certainly. He has got to co. an

Makino's ticket Office on Beretania
street was crowded this morning
Aside from the Japanese c. Bolte was
one of the callers What the business
was that brought him there no one
knows, except Maxine. He did not
remain long, but the Japanese took II
for granted that he was the attorney
looking after their interests.
Maxine would not say how many
Japanese had come, from the other
Islands to take passage In the Indiana
neither would be furnish the names oi

HAWAIIAN SHOW
4 GREAT SUCCESS

In spite of the reception given for
Secretary Straus and the Longworths
last Saturday, the Opera House WAS
filled to its utmost capacity by those
who wanted to see the ancient Ha-
waiian show which was given under
the auspices Of the Hawaiian Dramatic
Company. Every act was well per-
formed and the singing was splendid.
rhe whole play was given without any
hitch, and while the play was entirely
Hawaiian the whole thing was en-
joyed by the white guests, who came
to see the hulas and the
tableaux After paying out all ex-
renses the balance netted $3.50, which
will be expended to charity works.

cAPrTAT1oH TAX


Some surprise was occasioned Monday
afternoon at the meeting Of the Levy
Court when the committee appointed to
adjust the error list of Robert N. Burns,
receiver Of saxes, refused to allow the
amounts for capitation tax, which were
included in The list.
= = T The ea eaFEitatieE tag IS levy of 25 cents
upon all voters of the county, those own
ing property pay their capitation tax
when the property tax is paid, but there
are, of course, number not owning
property who are indebted to the county
25 cents and the collection Of this money
wouli possibly cost as much as it would
amount to. 1t is the first time that the
error list upon capitation tax has been re-
fused to be granted by a committee. The
resolution passed by the court was as
follows:
"Your committee appointed to exam
inc andadiust the error list Of Robert M.
Burns, receiver Of taxes for Wilmington
hundred, for the year 1905, respectfully
report that we have completed the work
and find errors as follows:
County and Poor, 1905, assessment.
S795, ,5SS; tax, S, ,977. 81; negro and school,
1905, assessment, $50. .475; tax, $1s1 4s.
1--WE recommend the same be allowed
him and that the comptroller be directed
to credit his account with the above
amounts"
The amounts in capitation tax for the
year 1905 was 50, ,929; 1906, S2,914.

TO SELL BONDS

Learning that the last of January was
possibly one of the best times Of the year
to dispose of bonds, it is likely that the
Levy Court will order sold the remaining
issue of 500, 600 for the permanent I'M
provement of the roads of New Castle
county at that time.
Under an act of the recent Legislature
the county was allowed to issue bonds
for $500, 900 for the improvement OF the
roads. An issue of 100000 was made,
and the remainder will be put out posi-
bly, as soon as the required thirty days
notice has been complied with.
just before the close of the session OF
Levy Court Monday afternoon, Commits
sioner Hopkins made motion that the
highway commissioner be instructed to
confer with the court relating to the dis
position Of the remainder of the bonds
At the first meeting of the Levy Court
in 1908, which will occur on January Z,
the body will organize for the year. It
is expected that Robert McFarlin, now
serving bis second term ks president. will
be reelected.
