SUPERVISORS Want
RELIEF FOR COUNTY
,i---
Show Legislators That
Oahu Will Be
".-'. =. Broke

The Board Of Supervisors last night
had conferehtf with the Finance
Committees of the House and Senate,
the subject of discussion being the flu
ture financial situation of the County
Of Oahu. Supervisors Hustace, Arch
err Fern, Harvey and Dwight repre-
scented the Board. Hustace as chair
man of the Board and Archer as chair
man of the Boards Finance Commit
tee, addressed the Legislators. Fern
also made II few remarks.
Hustacc and Archer made telling ar
guments In favor of providing the
county with additional money, show
ing the obvious necessity of such leg
islation as would reimburse the coun-
ty treasury for the loss 1t will sustain
/ by the passage of the bill by which the
| income taxes OF corporations will be
paid In the county In which they have
their principal properties. This will
cause Oahu ihe loss of half of the PLAN
tation income taxes to which IL has
heretofore been entitled, as these taxes
were formerly paid in Honolulu.
Detailed financial statements were
! produced, the sum total of which was
] '' '''''"as Tue 1OulltN vi
Oahu has had about $500 to spend,
Including the income taxes referred to-.
1t Is estimated that by the loss of this
revenue the county will be short about
$1,000, leaving II balance of 5000 a
month. The current expenses of the
departments under the county, exclus-
I've of the road department, amount to
about 20.l50 u month.
AS consequence all the county
would have left to spend on the road
department would be little over $4,000
month. From this must be deducted
the payment of salaries of the Office
force and stan of the department
amounting to $1,000. and the feed OF
the mules, etc, amounting to $500, so
mat In the end only from $1,000 to-
$1,000 Il month would>be left to spend
on the actual road work of the entire
island of Oahu.
The Supervisors pointed out that II
would be impossible for the county to
get along on such n small amount.
There were only two ways out of the
difficulty, one was to have the Terri
tory provide additional revenue for the
county, and the other was to cut down
tNDeHseS.
If no additional revenue were pro.
Vided 1t would thus be necessary for
the county to discontinue all its APP
preparations for the Hawaiian band
ana for the maintenance of parks.
The Supervisors proposed. in order
TO escape the dire necessity referred to
above, that the county be given the
hnes and costs collected in the distric.
courts, though not of those cases which
carried an appeal TO the higher courts.
II was estimated that the county would
get about $4,000 from this source. The
Supervisors also proposed that the
county should be given one-half of the
amount collected on license fees. This
VIII probably amount to 10000 Il year
Tor the county's share.
Senator Dowsett thought that sum
total OF 100000 additional to what is
given now would be sufficient, but
Hustace thought not.
| Although no promises were made by
the legislators the county fathers are
now In hopes that the relief asked for
will be granted.

rible thing drink is. am support
think It is step in the right direc-
tion, n step toward destroying this
terrible thing drink"
KALEIOPU OPPOSES
Kaleiopu said he had not known
I the real merits of the bill until
Hughes spoke, but now he was con-
WINGED that II the bill passed. the
selling of liquor would be more pro-
miscuous than IL is now.
This bill would probably accom-
rlish its object II every County had
Its missionaries. In the Fifth Dis
trict there are thirteen precincts and
every one of them would vote to have
saloons. II this law passes, you will
find more promiscuous selling of liq-
uor in the Fifth District than there
are now.
And how many are there In the
Fourth District who would vote
against liquor-selling?
Kaleiopu feared. he said, that IL
this bill were to pass. the people
would pay more attention to 1t at the
next election than to the election of
Representatives,
There are only 100 voters In my
own precinct of the Fifth District and
most of them are in favor of having
liquor sold. The same is true of all
the other precincts of the Fifth Dis
trict. II you wish to preserve the
happiness OF homes, ask you to post
pone this bill indefinitely"
MISSIONARIES COULD MOVE
Kaniho. OF course, had something
to say. All he could see In the bill
was that In missionary precincts liz
uor would not be sold. and in pre-
cincts without many missionaries,
there would be liquor sold. The on
~ thing the missionaries could do In
the latter case would be to get out
and move into precinct that had
more missionaries. Then the mis-
sionaries would be all together.
move the committee rise and report
that this bill has been Indefinitely
poSNpoH'u' lliHh llul IL the way
1t should be put"
Kaniho advanced a few arguments,
the logic of which nobody but him
self could see. Among others. he
thought the bill gave the Treasurer
! too much power, as II allowed him
to make laws-the prerogative of the
Legislature-io the regulation of sa-
Icons. He thought this would come
In the same category as the law
which allows the Board Of Health to
make rules for sanitation, etc. which
prove disastrous to some people.
Sheldon thought the bill good
one, but, he. said, there is another
bill which covers the Objectionable
points. Let us pass this aside and
so on to the real thing"
The motion that the committee
rise and recommend that the bill he
indefinitely postponed carried and the
committee rose.
The House adjourned.

A GENEROUS Bear

When the great earthquake and re-
sultant connagration just year
ago wrought such havoc in San Fran
cisco, the stricken people turned with
empty hands TO the fire insurance
companies for relief, confidently ex-
peCtng that in their hour of need the
protection for which they had been
patiently paying through the pros
porous years would be promptly
forthcoming. But, alas, ..disappoint-
metn followed disaster, The compa-
MES in many cases were unequal to
the occasion, and in many others I'M
willing to make good. Compromise
and Reputation were the order of
the day. At this crisis, prompted by
2 rare sense of fairness and COM
mendable appreciation of obligation,
one company rose in its great
strength and distributed s2.555. 291.-
30 amongst its policyholders, paying
their claims in full, asking no favors
and eXacting no discounts. And this
fair and generous action at once
placed The California Insurance Co.
of San Francisco at the very head of
the list of popular and trustworthy
companies doing business in Califor-
mia. This company now has an agen-
cy In Honolulu in the Office Of Trent
& Co., at 91G Fort Street. It is pop
ularly known as The Company That

Males Are
Bought
Out

The Males are to be bought out and
there will be only four teams In the
Honolulu Baseball League the coming
season. This result. which has long
Oeen desired and impossible to attain
till the present time, was accomplished
this morning at a fully attended meet
ing of the League. Those present
were President Paul Isenberg, Secre-
tary Frank Thompson. Messrs Petrie,
Fernandez, Monsarrat, Gleason and
r;ing.
The meeting was very short and
there was very little discussion ON the
matter of buying the franchise as all
were of the same opinion. that since
the Tenth Infantry was going away
and would be unable To play It would
be bad policy for weak team To take
their place. The terms on which the
sale of the Male franchise was sold
are as follows: The price to be $780,
one-half TO be paid at the end of the
present season and one-half at the end
of the next season.
King, who was present as the repre-
sentative of the Males. stated that his
organization was satisfied with the
terms offered. The $500 will be paid
by being deducted from the part of the
receipts of the league which would
otherwise be shared pro rata by the
various clubs.
The next matter taken was the
schedule proposition. The committee
appointed for the purpose was ready
with its report but ON account of the
dropping of the Males II new arrange
ment was needed. II was decided that
ii was best TO have two series of nine
games apiece for each club instead of
two series of eight games as has been
the custom. The work of revising the
schedule was referred to the commit
tee.

HOUSE KILLS THE
LOCAL OPTION Bill
Smothers John Hughes
Measure By Big
Majority

43d Day-Afternoon Session

II the attitude of the House of
Representatives on the subject may
be taken as expressing the wishes of
the people of the Territory, Hawaii
has no use for local option. Hughes
hill along that line was most effect
ually and emphatically sat upon yes
terday afternoon, and with the ex-
ception of its father seemed to find
no friends among the members.
The bill was taken up in Commit.
tee OF the Whole and disposed of I'm
about ten minutes. Hughes appar-
entity felt the cold wind of disapprov-
al blowing upon his measure, for he
tried to have consideration of II post
roned until "A later date. but the 9TH
or members would not listen to the
suggestion. They wanted to kill the
bill and get rid of It.
kaleiopu and Kaniho were the
most vigorous opponents of the meas
ure. and both made speeches against
1t. kaniho's motion to postpone the
bill indefinitely carried with almost
no opposition.
Further consideration OF the sal
airy appropriation bill was postponed
until today. II is expected that the
matter will be concluded this after
noon and the bill sent to conference.
THIRD READING
The following bills came up for
third reading:
House Bill 1856, an act requiring
that all Interpreters of Territorial
courts shall be United States citizens.
passed without debate.
House Bill 1872. requiring the fur
FISHING of information regarding the
possession and ownership of firearms
and ammunition, passed also without
any discussion.
Senate Bill 1874, authorizing the
manufacturing and supplying of cleo
trio light and power in the district
of Waikiki, created considerable dis
cussion.
Nakaleka offered an amendment to
the effect that the Electric Light Co.
of Waikiki shall file with the Super
intepdent OF Public Works the gross
yearly receipts of the company. Adop-
ted.
kaniho thought this bill should not
cover any parts of Maui other than
the district of Wailuku. He said
that three sessions ago a bill giving
u franchise to the Rapid Transit Co.
negative to the rights and privileges
of the old Hawaiian Tramways Co.
was brought to the attention of the
Legislature and created heated dis
cussion. There might be more
beneficial company established for
the Mauians in the future, said Ka-
niho, but under this bill the absolute
right Is given to this company. and
future companies will be barred out
entirely.
Kaleiopu moved that consideration
of this bill be deferred for one week.
Carried.

person or corporation from destroy

the needs Of the Territory thor
uuEhly. It is said that he enjoys
the confidence OF the President
and there Is no reason to doubt
this That he has not been bet

connection with the Advertiser,
a paper which is In a position to
accomplish great things, but
which. through its policy Of cal

petty meanness, is despiscd from
one end Of the Territory to the

in the past that the Advertiser
represented Thurstons views,
but. fortunately for him, he
made It clear that he had no part
In or sympathy with the vulgar
attacks made on public men by
that sheet. He may, then, be

ANOTHER SCANDAL
APPEARS IN PUGD0M
PROMINENT SAN FRANCISCO
SPORTING MEN AND EIGHT
TRUST" INVOLVED.
(By the Associated Press. }

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 8.-The Los
Angeles sporting world is agOg to-
night over another pugilistic scan-
dal, rivalling in its decadence even
the O'Brien fiasco of some months
ago. 1t is in connection with the
practical calling off, yesterday, of the
twenty round go between Joe Cans,
lightweight champion, and Jimmy
Burns, scheduled to take place before
the Pacific Athletic club on August
16. Prominent San Francisco sport
ing men, and representatives of the
alleged fight trust" are involved and
are charged with having offered
large sums ofemoney to break up the
match. The reason for this was that
1t interfered in various ways with
the Britt-Gans match, scheduled to
take place in San Francisco early in
September.
Willis Britt, brother of Jimmy
Britt, and Captain Baker are said
to have come quietly to Los Angeles
last Sunday with $4,000, which Britt
exhibited in the form of draft on
the American Savings Bank of San
Francisco, and which he is said to
have boasted he was to use in break
ing up the Gans-Burns match. Cans
confessed tonight that Britt came to
him Sunday night and offered him
81 900 to break up the match. Cans
says he refused.

LICENSE OF SOUTHERN
RAILWAY RE|NSTATED
(By the Associated Press. }

MONTGOMERY. Ala, Aug. s.
Governor Conner and the officials of
the Southern railway reached an
agreement late this afternoon and
the license of the railroad in Ala
bama will be reinstated. Beginning
September |, 1907, the railroad and
allied lines will put into effect the
two and half cent passenger act,
and the measure reducing the freight
rates on 110 commodities commonly
shipped in Alabama. The agreement
was not reached without concessions
being made by both sides, but in the
main it is a victory for the state. The
laws in question will not be put into
effect permanently. The agreement
specifically declares that their opera
tion beginning September !. are only
subject to the final determination as
to their constitutionality and their
responsibility when a decision of
these questions is finally rendered by
the courts of last resort.
Meanwhile the other laws enacted
by the legislature at its winter ses-
sion affecting the railroads of the
oIdtC Will lolSC' llV
roads representatives agreed that
they would appear before Judge
Jones and ask him for an order modi-
flying the restraining orders issued
by the United States court two
months ago, to permit of the immedi-
ate operation, subject to the final de-
cision of the courts of the two acts
in question.
In consideration of the railroad
representatives to permit the opera
tion of these two laws, the one af-
fecting the passenger traffic and the
other affecting freight, 1t was agreed
by Governor Conner that the revoca-
ton of the license of the Southern in
Alabama should be cancelled and the
company permitted to do business
without hinderance by the state.
The compromise affects only the one
railway system, the Southern. The
other railways of the state were not
parties to the conference.
