kAUAr'S SUPERVISORS
PRACTISE ECONOMY
Roads On Garden Island
Receive Much
Attention

Lihue, Kauai, Dec. THE Kauai
Board of Supervisors met as usual the
first Wednesday in the month and
cleared the decks of matters that had
accumulated during November.
No special excitement characterized
the meeting, If one does not count
the announcement made at the be-
ginning that the County would have
to go slow for awhile with improve
E!ents, as cash was somewhat low.
OF course there was no prospect of u
deficit. but 1t had been improving at
the rate of $4,000 a month on an
income of $4,000 and II would take
some time to accumulate a sufficient
surplus to go ahead with macadamiz-
ing work.
At the start 1t was decided to pay
the road luna at the rate of $685. per
day in Lihue from the beginning OF
the month.
petition from several residents of
Moloaa was read, objecting to having
the County sluicing down the Moloaa
hill. They claimed that the water
would spoil the stream from which
they get their supply Of drinking wa
ter, as well as damage their taro and
rice patches. The Road Supervisor
was instructed to see whether some
kind of an arrangement could not be
made SO that sluicing could be made
use of without annoying the petition
ers, and, II such was not the case,
eXcavate the hill to meet the survey,
although such proceeding would
mean an additional cost OF thou
sand dollars or more to the County.
The chairman who at a previous
meeting had been authorized to make
settlement with the Wilson credit
ors reported that the trustee of the
estate had accepted the accounts, and
that he proposed to pay OFF the bal
ance due on receipt of an agreement
10 the effect that the County would
not be held liable for any further
claims. He had taken the advice of
the County Attorney, as well as the
special counsel, Mr.. w. A. Kinney, in
the matter, and they both advised
this course. A bill for the amount,
$47lO.22, was then approved, for
which the Auditor was requested to

MERCHANTS HOLD
LAST |9O7 MEETING
Members Are Present
In Good Numbers
To Talk

The Merchants Association held
its last meeting for the year yester-
day afternoon. Debates sharp and to
the point were held and the meeting
throughout was quite interesting.
Shippers Wharf Tax came in for Il
thorough sitting and 1t was ascer-
tanned that many Of the merchants
mad a hazy idea Of exactly what the
tax was for, but had paid the same
without a murmur.
The minutes of the last meeting
were read and approved,
The question was brought up re-
garding the Associations share of the
expense of entertaining the Con-
gressmen who recently visited the
Islands. A suggestion and motion
was made to the effect that an as
sessment of So be levied on each
member. After some discussion the
motion carried.
The Secretary reported that no re-
ply had been received from the Am
erican-l Hawaiian Steamship Company
in answer to aeablegram sent by the
Association in which an objection
was made 10 what seemed an unnec~
essary delay of Christmas goods.
The question of submarine boats
for Island protection was very gently
laid to one side.
The disposition of the quarantine
tax money was brought up by 7. J.
King. Secretary Paris stated that the
Promotion Committee received its
greatest support from this same NOM
cy. He reported an accumulation OF
between $1,000 and $4,000 at the
present time.
TO explain question regarding
the Wharf Tax, w. w. Harris stated
that coal and lumber escaped this
tax because their charters were OBJ
tanned outside and there was no agen-
cy to collect the tax.
Fred, Macfarlane said he failed to
see the point of Mr.. Harris charter
explanation and insisted that the
lumber and coal dealers should not
escape the tax any more than any
other business men.
The question of keeping the hood
lum element quiet on Christmas eve
was talked over and the fact was
stated that Sheriff Iaukea had prom

The poundmasters' reports for Lii

and report.
The matter of making the road up
Wainiha valley passable again came
up for decision. This Is the one that
was reported on at the previous meet
ing of the Board, but was left over
for further investigation by the Road
Supervisor. The Board decided that
the road luna of Hanalei be instruct
ed to tackle the work as soon as the
Wainiha bridge had been completed,
but to limit the expenditure to $500.
In case the Kauai Electric Co. decid-
ed to assist the County in the matter,
he was to increase the amount of
work to be done, as much as its con-
tribution would allow.

The salary of the road luna at Ka-

HOME GOVERNMENT MAY SEE
FIT TO PUT ON COMPLETE
CHECK

Toxic, Japan. Nov. 1G.-Rodolphe
Lemieux, Canadian Postmaster Cen
eral and Minister OF Labor, who Is
here to consult with the japanese au-
thorities regarding emigration from
this country, has established an Of
flee at the British Embassy and is in
frequent conference with officials OF
the Foreign Office. He expects IA
vorable outcome OF his mission. To
q correspondent he said: II am not
proposing any change in the existing
treaty, but desire to reach an agree
ment with friendly nation looking
to the adoption OF program for the
future which would be beneficial to
both countries concerned
The Foreign Office has notified the
emigration companies that 4O6 Jap
anese willSe allowed to go to Hawaii
during this month and December. 1t
Is understood that the Government
intends to exercise a closer supervi-
sion over those going as students to
San Francisco. There Is reason to
believe that considerable fraud has
Eeen practiced by registering labor
ers as students, and that this has es-
capped the scrutiny of the emigration
inspectors. American Ambassador
O'Brien has been in active conference
on this subject with Minister of For
eign Affairs Hayashi, who has issued
more stringent instructions to the in
spectOrs, and 1t is understood that
further restrictions are under advise
ment.
May Stop immigration
The Japanese Government Is said
to be considering the ACCESSIBILITY OF
shutting off all emigration to the
United States and Canada for the pre-
sent, on the ground that economic
conditions render ii inadvisable for
citizens of Japan to visit foreign
countries unless they are able to
show that they are amply self-sup-
porting.
Among leading statesmen, politi-
clans and business men the impor-
lance of the near approach of the
American Congress and the introduce
ton of special measures to restrict
immigration is fully realized. The
opinion here is that such legislation
is not likely to be enacted but the
fact of its introduction and the inevi-
table debates on the subject, 1t is

work at Wailua bridge had been COM
pleted.
The road between Wailua and
Mundon's residence in Hawaiian had
been sanded and proved to keep mud

The only work of consequence
which had been going on in Hanalei
district was the erection of the new
bridge at Wainiha, which was well

FORTUNE IN DEMuRRAaE.
Railroad Aiming to Save About
100000 q Year.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, November o.
There are at present in use upon the New
York, New Haven and Hartford railroad
system about 5000 foreign cars per day
upon an average. which Is somewhat of a
decrease of the average in the earlier
part Of the year. This indicates that to
some extent the outside roads have been
diverting business from the New Haven
system. which is further indicated by the
congestion of freight upon the Boston and
Albany and the Boston and Maine sys-
TENS. high officer Of the New York.
New Haven and Hartford Railroad Com
pany states that owing to the congestion
on the Boston and Albany the New York
Central. its lessee. has been forced to
turn upon the New Haven system 100
carloads daily, thus making largely up
for any freight diverted by other roads.
With about 10000 foreign cars upon
its system and about 1000 Of its own
cars upon outside systems. the New Ha-
ven company becomes daily debtor road
to the amount of 10000 cars, which, at
80 cents demurrage a day, means to-
tai Indebtedness of about $500 daily. The
New Haven company Withdrew the nrst
of last October from the American Rail-
way Association, and the dispute between
it and the outside roads upon the new
charge of so cents per diem not having
been settled, all payments to the outside
roads have been withheld to the amount
of nearly $25O,OO0 a month.
This has created a situation which of
late has become very acute. and it now
can be stated authoritatlvely that the
matter is likely to be settled within a
short time. probably in the form of a
compromise agreement on basis OF 80
cents per car in place Of the so cents per
diem established by the American Rail-
way Association.
This would result in a saving to the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
Railroad Company of about 5000 a day,
or about 1,OOO,O 900 a year. In demurrage
charges, provided all the connecting rail-
road companies assent.

ROUND UP sTILETToIsTs.
Big Haul of Italians Made in Brook.
1yn Streets.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 23-Twenty-
eight Italian gun and stiletto carriers were
taken to the Adams Street police court in
Brooklyn yesterday for arraignment. as
a result of an all-night search made by
a score of detectives. The nights raid
was something extra, and was due to the
police learning that the carrying Of
weapons had become common again
among Italians.
Twenty detectives were accordingly Sc
lected. all Of whom have had experience
in sleuthing for guns and knives. They
were assigned to various Italian districts
Of the borough. The result was that the
prisoners began to arrive at police head
quarters in State street at an early hour
of the evening.
The weapons were all tagged and laid
out on a table, and by midnight a large
assortment of guns and knives had been
collected.
The complete returns this morning
showed that the Italians are about equally
divided. those who still cling to the old
time stiletto, and those who have adopted
guns. Thirteen of the twenty-eight pris-
oners carried stilettos or dirks. and the
remainder carried revolvers.
There was no particular novelty among
the weapons. Most of the knives were of
the homemade variety, which are familiar
to the detectives. AS rule. the knife
is nothing but fiat file, which has been
ground down until 1t Is long and thin
and presents two sharp edges with tap
ering point. Likewise the revolvers were
of the regulation pattern, each having a
heavy caliber.
The prisoners were of all ages and
came from every quarter of Brooklyn.

are forced to seek lawyers advice on
account of their troubles, Joseph s.
LAUDER has abandoned the practice of
law and announced that he will engage
in some occupation where the sights
incurred are less pitiable.
''The nervous strain of the average
lawyers general practice is too much
for any man. unless he is singularly cal
lous and cold hearted said Mr.. LAUDER.
THE shifting of a clients troubles to the
shoulder of his attorney not only stirs
sympathies to the depths, but burdens
him with responsibility which is some

the purchase Of liberal quantities of the
white metal and coming 1t into dollars
1t is believed $50. 900 600 worth Of it might
be bought and so used to the best inter-
ests of the entire country. Around pres
ent prices that would provide nearly
500. 100000 of new real money and the
government would hardly miss the
amount Of gold it would need to pay out
