COMMENT ON MARKETS.

G. Bowie Chipman. of Z. r. Chapman
&. Co.-"A!though some attempt was made
in the first part of to-days session to
rally prices, and although some short
covering took place at that time. the
weight OF the selling during the past few
days and again this morning, with pre-
ponderance Of unfavorak'e news. proved
50 effective that during the greater part
Of the day prices declined steadily. The
closing level is considerably under that
OF Saturday. although the railroads made
small losses and showed greater resistance
than the industrials. Distillers' Securities
Corporation. Smelters. and some of the
specialties were particularly weak The
closing for the general list approXimated
the lowest Of the day. and was without
any particular rallying power. Money
showed a tendency TO harden, the renew
ing rate for call loans being ~ per
cent. and new loans ranging from 10
l5 per cent"

The market most Of the day presented
Irregular movements. a number Of indus

liquidation was caused by the passing OF
the dividend by ii prominent Southern
iron corporation. The rates on call money
attracted much attention. This Is prob

with the call Of the Comptroller. Rail-

should be embraced on the weak days.

market was reactiOnary. Influenced chiefly
by the sharp advance in money rates.
This higher figure for money has been

stocks and the further curtailment in the
production OF the metal also had some
influence on prices. The recovery in the

LAND
PAYS NO TAXES

The lessons of land actually in use
in the cultivation of pineapples can
not be taxed under the act of the
Legislature. The Tax Appeal Court
so ruled in a decision handed down
yesterday in the case of the oahu
Railway & Land Company, John Ii
Estate Ltd, and the Dowsett Com
pany, on appeal from the Tax As
SCISSORS assessment
The court says:
The appellants, lessons Of land leas-
ed by them TO sundry pineappie grow
ers' claim exemption from taxation on
the premises SO leased, under provi.
sions OF Section 1923 Of Revised Laws,
which provide that for the five years
from April 23rd, 1903, all property ac-
tuaily in use for the production Of
plneapples shall be exempt
from taxation Of any kind.
1t is contended BY the Tax Assessor
that this exemption does not apply to
the lessons in question who are not
themselves engaged in the production
OF pineapples, and that the law con-
templates only the exemption Of the
interest OF the party or parties d.
rectly engaged In such production:
mat SUCH exemption can not be claim
ed oy parties having only an indi-
rect connection with the pineapple in
dustry or merely receiving, as in this
case, benefits from the actual pine
apple producers. That this "a a rea-
sonable view OF what the makers Of
this exemption law intended, is not
questioned by the court, and I'm an
parsntly similar cases, quoted in the
brief for the Tax Assessor. decisions
appear TO have been made in recoz-
milton Of such reasonable intention. II
Is not however, the province Of this
court 70 read into the Law "inten-
TONS when the language Of the law
itssif ~ not ambiguous. The law pro-
woes that all property actually in use
Tor production Of pineapples shall be
exempt. and does not make provision
ior exemption Of any particular in
tsrest- The property actually In use
~ certainly the land upon which the
pineaDles are grown and that the
lands OF the appellant Iessors are 80
used II not disputed.
Whatever doubt may exist az 70 the
Intentions Of the law makers. there Is
no doubt In the mind Of the court as
TO the meaning Of the words used in
Section 1Zz5 Of the Revised Laws. and
the claim Of the appellants for exemp-
ton IL therefore sustained

IS WRIGHT IN
SAN FRANCISCO?

SAN FRANCISCO. October 14-Is
William II. Wright. the defaulting
treasurer OF Hawaii, In hiding In the
under world OF San Francisco? The
local police and detective agencies
think that he is. and are searching the
city hoping TO capture the nan who
for four years has eluded their best
efforts TO arrest him for his crime
Some person In this city knows
where Wright Is, according to advices
from Honolulu. Evidence of this fact
came to light recently. when legal pa
pers over Wright's signature appeared
in a court OF law in Honolulu.
1t is not such a great time ago that
William H. Wright. Billy" as his
friends call him. was one OF the show
figures of his native Hawaii. Coming
as he did of one of the oldest families
in the islands and being a friend of
the native royalty and many Amer
leans. he was admitted cordially in the
highest society circles of the city.
Fine horses. gay suppers and the
races led to his undoing. All this was
before the change OF government came
and the United states assumed con-
troll over the islands.
With that change came a new life
for Wright. He was a close friend of
Sanford B. Dole, first president of the
Territory. and he had other prominent
friends as we'll. From one Office to an
other he was raised. each being an i'm
provement on the one preceding it. At
CT foI
was fully established, he was made
the first treasurer. One day he told
his friends that he was going for a
yachting trip to the southern islands
and that he might be gone several
weeks. Then he vanished.
Two weeks later there came a mes
sage to local papers which said: ''Wil-
liam II. Wright. treasurer of Hawaii.
arrived in San Francisco on board the
steamship Alameda and is staying with
friends in Oakland, Call
Surprise was followed by the con-
sternation OF his friends, when a hur-
ried investigation showed him to be
$17,5G0 short in his accounts. The ter
ritorial government sent out an alarm
and the police of the country began
chase which they now believe is
drawing to a close, after four years
of effort.
At the house of friends, where
Wright stayed for a time after his ar
rival in this country. it was said that
he had left, saying that he was going
back to Honolulu. Pinkerton detectives
traced half a dozen men whose de-
scription tailed with that of the miss
ing treasurer, always to run down
some innocent man. The police of san
Francisco, acting on Information from
Honolulu, were kept on the lookout for
many months, but were unable to get
any clews to the whereabouts OF the
defaulter.
Several days ago the police learned
that on October last Wright had
filed an acknowledgment of a sum-
mons in civil suit in Honolulu, that
of John Wilson versus William H.
Wright and Healthie X. Wright ct al,
defendants. The police are working
on the theory that friend of Wright's
in San Francisco knows where he is
and that there is good ground for the
belief that the defaulter is in hiding
in this city.

CANNOT HAUL
OVER BAD ROAD

While the calls are made on the Fed
eral government continually for appro-
priations for fortincations In this Ter
ritory. a rather peculiar phase has
come up In this regard. When bids
for sand. cement and crushed rock
We're called for recently by Captain
Otwell not bid that was made was
entirely satisfactory 10 the represen-
tative OF the War Department. To
make matters worse not a single bid
was made for the transportation OF
the material 70 Diamond Head where
IL is needed
This last situation has been caused
by the fact that the roads to the site
of the new fertilization work are so
bad and are built on so cheap n scale.
that the local men in the Transports
ton line do not believe that they can
haul the 20. 600 tons or more OF material
without running far behind.
The blame for the poor roads Is not
placed on the road department by any
means. The county is at present hard
at work repairing the road around
Diamond Head. in order that 1t may
be placed in better shape. The trouble
comes from the fact that there is not
enough money available for good
macadam road, and all that is being
done is 10 put heavy coating or top
dressing of broken stone on a dirt
The claim is made by the transpor-
tation men that while this may be
all right for ordinary hauling and
driving, it will be by no means fit for
such heavy work as Will be required.
They say that it will be only a matter
of a few weeks when the road will be
cut up so badly that it will be almost
TO haul the heavy loads of
sand, and crushed rock through the
mass OF UlEl anu ROCKS WHICH Will
present itself.
AT present there seems to be no way
in which the matter can be solved
easily. but Captain Orwell is looking
over the situation and will arrive at
a conclusion within a few days, The
work on the Diamond Head tortifica-
tons is going along very favorably
and nearly 100 men are employed.
Every man on the work is an Amer
lean citizen. though the laws do not
require this The idea, as expressed
by Captain Orwell, is that since there
are American citizens here who need
work. they should be given the prefer
ence. 1t is having the result that a
number Of the Portuguese in the city,
who have not become citizens. are
making their applications and also are
fitting their children for citizenship,
realizing the benefit which they may
derive from this.
