OVER SITES
The Governor Opposes
Purchase of Land
for Street.

In Governor Carter's opinion the in.
terests offering the Bishop street ex-
tension site attach a too expensive
string to their proposal, when they ask
the Territory to pay nearly $4,000 for
the land for the street extension.
To take the site with this condition,
the Governor thinks, would practically
mean that the lot on the makai side of
King street was preferred to the lot
on the mauka side of King street, the
distances from Fort street being equal,
at $4,000 greater cost.
Governor Carter does not believe that
those at the meeting on Wednesday
whose first choices had been various
other lots than the two in question
would have so nearly unanimously made
the Mahuka or makai lot their second
choice if they had been aware that
it was going to cost $4,000 more than
the Bishop or mauka lot.
Shortly after the meeting of citizens
called by Mr.. Taylor, or about 6 O'Clock
Wednesday afternoon, Mr.. Shingle of
the Henry Waterhouse Trust Co., repre-
senting the Mahuka lot proposal, and
two others called on Governor Carter.
Mr.. Shingle explained the conditions
of the offer of the lot, which included
the acquiring by the Territory, through
purchase or exchange, of the strip of
land needed for the essential extension
of Bishop street, to be so feet in width,
from King to Merchant, at a price of
$3.50 square foot. As the area is
approximately $4,000 square feet, the
cost would be about $4,000.
After a discussion the Governor
promised to give his opinion by letter.
Yesterday morning he sent the letter,
in which he declined the proposition.
His reasons as stated to an Advertiser
reporter yesterday afternoon are partly
given above.
Governor Carter said further that the
Territory, if the land for Bishop street
extension were decided by the property
owners, would macadamize and curb
the street, besides putting in sewers.
He thought that, in many cities on
the mainland, propery owners in a
similar case would not only deed the
land but tax themselves for the street
improvements, an account of the great
benefits accruing to their property abut-
ting on the new thoroughfare.
As the choice of the public meeting
had narrowed down to these two lots,
the Governor said, the difference in cost
would seem to make the final choice
inevitably settle upon the Bishop Es-
tate lot opposite the Young Hotel.
In the course of his talk the Governor
mentioned that the existing Bishop
street was a gift from Alexander Young
and the Bishop Estate.
Mr.. Shingle, when seen last night,
said he would reserve his reply to the
Governor views. 1t is rumored, how
ever, that Mr.. Taylor has recommended
the Mahuka site.

COMPLAIN To
WASHINGTON
House Hears Complaint
Regarding u. S.
Attorneys
HOUSE-NTNETEENTH DAY,

number of important measures
came before the House yesterday,
among these being the Primary bill,
which passed it's third reading with
big majority, a resolution calling the
attention of the President to the nature
of the suits being taken up by the
officials representing the United States
Department of Justice, and an account
ant IS report on the financial standing
of the Honolulu Water Works, which
the report states are making money at
an average rate of $4,000 a year and
have been doing so since 1898.

PRIMARY LAW.

The order of the day was then taken
up, before the House had been half
an hour in session. The Primary law,
House Bill 40, was read by the clerk
and repeated by the interpreter, this
highly necessary proceeding taking up
some time.
Kaniho was nrst on his feet, moving
that the bill be indefinitely postponed.
There were, he said, three bad features
to the BILL In the first place it limited
the rights of voters and made an ex-
pense on candidates of $40 as a de-
posit This fee is an unnecessary ad-
dition to the expenses of candidate
during his campaign. If the law should
pass it will increase campaign expenses
of every one seeking an elective of
fee Ii falls heavily on poor man
aspiring to the Senate, who must can
vass a whole country, such as Hawah.
Furthermore the bin bears most heavi-
" on the candidate for Delegate to
Congress. who must canvass the entire
Territory.
1t limits the rights of everyone of
us, for it allows only those with money
to run in an election. Again, the law
makes a candidate run under party
name, Democrat must stay Demo
crat. for instance, and if beaten for
his own party nomination can not seek
another. The present law is broader
than that and allows greater privileges.
AS the law stands today a Republican,
thrown down by his own party, can ac-
cept nomination from another party.
Supposing our Prince was turned down
for a weak candidate. He could not
run and neither the speaker nor his

RESOLUTIONS.

No reports of standing or special
committees, no petitions and no COM
munications presaged an early adjourn
ment. In the order of resolutions, Ma
hoe broke the business ice by sending
to the clerk resolution to appropriate
$500 for the repairing of the court
house and jail in Waianae. This was
referred to the Public Lands commit
tee.
Another resolution was presented by
Nailima, asking for $4,000 for a new
road from Kalapana to Kala-
pana schoolhouse and bridge for the
same. A postscript on the resolution
asked for 100000 to be inserted in the
appropriations for grades, location and
building roads in Waipio.
Keouli asked for $4,000 for the ex-
tension of the water pipe on the home
stead lands at Puukapu, Waimea, to the
land of Martin Campbell.
Mahoe had a second resolution to
open up a new road from the o. r. &
L. Co.'s depot at Waianae to Puu-
ohulu, to cost $4,000.
Each of these resolutions was sent
to the Public Lands committee for con-
sideration.

Morning Session.

The Primary bill was the only mat
ter down for the order of the day in
the House yesterday, and the discus
sion on it began before even the Speak
IS gravel tapped for order. Senator
Makekau, who had drifted in on his
way upstairs, voiced the opposition
against any such measure which made
cash capital of ten dollars necessary
before any man could be candidate
at the primaries, denouncing this as
measure to throttle ambitious Hawai-
ians. Kaleiopu defended the bill and
the debate which ragged was listened
to by a number of interested members.
Nearly all the members were back
in their seats yesterday, including Ka-
niho, Rawlins and Castro.

THE CURFEw LAW.

There was, perhaps. more human IN
terest in the curfew law than in the
others and the debate attracted much
attention. For ten years or more the
night concerts by the band have at
traeted young girls to the parks, often
without the protection of chaperone
and occasionally indifferently guarded
by older persons. In recent years the
results have been terrifying and when
too late to repair damage in their own
homes parents have prevailed upon a
member of the House to introduce a
bill which may protect other youngsters
by providing eth fine or Imprisonment
for violators of the law. When the
parents are at fault punishment goes to
them but if the child has disobeyed
parent, or guardian, then 1t is Liable
to Imprisonment in the reform school
for a period of ten days. The bill has
its good points but more bad ones and
to be administered in this Territory,
where peace officers use so little dis
cretion, needless Inconvenience may, IN
consequence, be suffered by the child.
A matter of moment in the Senate
was the action of that body on the
veto messages presented by the Gov
ernor on Wednesday. The consensus OF
opinion among the Senators seemed to
be that the time had come when ''the
Governor should be shown. That
Senator Smith should preempt a big
stick and go after the Governor on
the subject of the rights of marrled
women in relation to their separate
property was surprise. But he did.
The Governor intimated that the law
as passed would promote needless litl-
CATION. To this Senator Smith replied
that all laws promote litigation. He
proved by his argument that the
privilege of the veto power had been
abused and would be further abused
by the Governor unless the Senate
showed its displeasure at his action
in, what he considered, a wise law.
The cut on the fire department measure
for other counties was deeper for the
vote was unanimous.
It is said the House will follow in
