tieth year in the newspaper business.

devil to editor. More than half of that
time he has been In Honolulu. where
he has assisted many a public and

Dan has fewer enemies and more
friends than any other newspaper man

wish him another forty years at the

MR.. PATTERSON ON Mr.,

one more word in closing remarks on

speaking OF the cost, he says: This
may seem expensive but deem 1t
necessary to secure a safe and perma-

location like this where the lives and
property of those living below the dam
would be jeopardized."
The only attack / have made at all

built by incompetent supervision and
the specifications were insufficient to

Senator Hayselden reported on Bill
104, a bill that has met with consider
able opposition from the Senators and
ut is doomed to die. The report reads:
"Your committee believe that the OBJ

Consideration of the veto message

THE TOLL BILL.
The bill authorizing the levying of
toll at ten cents per ton was wrangled
over considerably and finally went to
the ways and means committee. SEN
ator Bishop took the floor to hemmer
the bill and during his remarks it was
brought out that the passage of the
bill meant treble tsxation. There is
now ten-cent tax paid by the mer.
chants and it was paid willingly be-
cause it was used for the Board Of
Health. 1t was noticeable fact that
when it came to securing appropria-
tions for the Board of Health for the
care of the Molokai wards the money
was handed out with lavish hand but
when it was asked for osher purposes
such as keeping the town free from
contagious diseases, like plague, there
was nothing doing, the money had to
come from private sources. This tax
would be a burden on the consumer,
nobody else, and he did not believe it
just to add any more than now exists.
The bill was deficient in several ways

so short We believe Il the duty Of this
committee TO return the bin herewith

Before the session opened there was
a confab among two or three of the
Senate committee and Manager Fair

this is strictly Kauaian and is for the
benefit of the Kealia Plantation Co..

the Capitol on numerous occasions late

from residents of the other islands
among them Abraham Louisson who
met the committee the other night

ferred until Thursday.

NO AGREEMENT.

Senator Makekau reported verbally
that the committee in whose hands had
been placed House Bill No. 1877 had
failed to agree, no two OF them being
willing to come to the same conclu-
sion; for that reason he wished to sur
render the bill. Senator Coelho moved
to return to the Senate and the mo-
ton carried.

Senator Coelho showed an inclinatio
to present a letter from the Presidei
of the Board of Health explaining IL
appearance of an article in the AZ
vertiser that reflected on the Healt

but President Bishop ruled Coelho OF
of order when he asked leave to read.
PUNCHBOWL SLOPE.
In the matter of Punchbowl slope lot
the committee reported as follows:
I'VE approve of the object of tn
resolution which is to endeavor to Sc
cure appropriate legislation from TIL
Congress of the United States, givin
to the Portuguese and others who hav
sublet from Queen Kapiolani, and he
estate. land on Punchbowl slope, tn
prior right to acquire by purchase O
lease the lands occupied by them a
an appraised value.
In our opinion 1t would have bee
better had bill been passed by thi
Legislature granting such rights an
privileges, subject to the approval o
Congress. for the reason that the con
current resolution, IL adopted, merel,
shifts the burden to the Delegate I
Congress to draft and present a bill I
carry out the wishes of the Legisla
ture OF Hawaii as expressed In tn
resolution. However. 1t is now too lat
in the session to undertake the pas
sage of such a bill, and we therefor
recommend the adoption of the con
current resolution.

OVERR|DES
GOVERNOR
sENArE-rIrrY-FouRTH DAY.


There was something doing pretty
nearly all of the time in the Senate
yesterday for between the considera-
ton of vetoes and an attempt to kill
a bill that would put a toll on lumber
the time of the members was kept oc-
cupied. Just before noon Senator
Coelho endeavored to have read a reply
from Mr.. Pinkham to letter relating
to an article which appeared in the Ad-
vertiser last Sunday in which the
Health committee Of the Senate was
charged with concealing a letter from
the Board in the matter Of the bac-
teriologist.
It was shown by the records that
the difficulty was entirely between Sen
ator Coelho and the Board and this
gave Senator Bishop another oppor-
tunity to tell the Senate that they
should pay no attention to anything
that goes into the newspapers as lie,
personally, did not care "tuppence
what they said about him. This seem
ed to encourage the man from Maui
and he sat down in time to vote on
the motion to take recess.
The resolution presented in The House
and sent up to the Senate derouncing
the Board of Health did not meet with
the approval of Senator Smith and
he wanted it referred to the Health
committee. To this Senator Lane OBJ
jected saying the Legislature had al
ready taken action on similar resolu-
ton and action on this should not be
deferred; it is for the Legislature to
say whether its request is to be ignored.
There was a clause in the resolution
binding the next Legislature to take
action on the matter of Wallach and
this caused Senator Makekau to ask
the question whether this Legislature
has the right to bind it's successors
and Senator Lane replied that it had
not but it could make recommendations
that would be carried out. A desul
tory discussion resulted in the resolu-
ton being deferred.
There were surprises mooted but they
did not surprise or rather chey failed
to surprise by not being brought for
ward.
COMMISSIONER PRATT ANSWERS.
Commissioner Pratt reported in an
,swer to the query of Senator Makekau
relative to certain lands, occupied and
idle. The answer was complete in de-
hail and seemed to fill the bill as it
took each lease mentioned in the reso-
LUTON. For some reason Makekau was
willing to put the Senate to the ex-
pense of printing the answer though
admitting that it was not his intention
ITO introduce bill in connection with
it. Other Senators tried to have him
cut the expense but he was determin-
ed and the letter went to the Printing
committee

TERRITORY AND COUNTY.

Senator Mccarthy read resolution
relative to a change in the Government
of the Territory by dispensing with
the services of some of the employees
by merging the county and Territorial
offices. The document is ar follows:
Whereas, The Congress of the Unit
ed States in the Act approved April
80, 1900, creating the Territory of Ha-
wall, and providing a Government
therefor, made IT clear by provisions
therein, that it was the reasonable ex-

BURIED UNDER MONEY.
Two Men Hurt in Wreck of a Load
of Coin.

Chicago, Dec. 27.-Canvas bags cont ain
ing gold and silver coin to the amount OF
half million dollars were scattered
about the corner of La Sale and Adams
street for a short time last night, but
they were soon gathered up and taken to
place of safety under the protection of
a squad of police.
An express wagon on its way from the
Northwestern to the La Sale street sta
ton with a load of specie, guarded by
Barney Terback. Buffalo, N. Y, and Hen
ry Kerker of Chicago. was struck by a
street car.
Terback and Kerker were thrown to the
street and the bags of specie on top of
them. Terback received fracture of the
skull. Kerker was badly bruised by the
heavy bags of money falling on him. Both
were taken to a hospital.

nights, but he has not accepted. We
have on file more than twelve nun
dred applications for the present win
ter and for next summer, but have
been compelled to refuse them be-
cause Mr.. Bryan has decided not to
appear upon the lecture platform
again until after the presidential
campaign. He could get an engage
ment for every night in the year on
his regular terms of $500 a night and
half the gate money. He is in great
er demand than ever, and l think his
popularity has increased instead Of
diminished, judging from the anxiety
Of the lecture managers throughout
the United States to secure him. We
have been acting as his agents for
four years and have booked him for
an average of $50 lectures year dur
ing that time He has never allowed
us to book him in Nebraska. He has
never lectured for money in that state
and has declined to do so repeatedly.
In his settlements with committees
he has been more generous and con-
siderate than any lecturer I have ever
handled If his audience is kept away
by rain or by any accident he never
insists upon his full price. He always
gives the managers the benefit of all
doubts. He has never had a dispute
of any sort, although / have known
of several occasions when he has been
very badly treated. Nor will he al
low us to engage in a dispute over re-
ceipts and settlements on his ac-
count"

ID. l.. Shank. Prominent Nferiden Citf-
zen, May Die as Result

D. L. Shank, a prominent citizen of
Meriden, was brought to Christ hos
pital last evening suffering from a
wound On the head which may cause
his death.
Mr.. Shank was returning from a
Christmas entertainment with his wife
on Christmas when he was stopped by
Arthur Chapey, a young man from
Kansas City who has relatives here.
Chapey struck him over the head with
a heavy club, rendering him uncon-
scious. He was taken to his home and
as he did not rally was brought to the
hospital where it is reported this morn
ing he is slightly improved.
The country is considerably excited
over the outrage as the assault appears
to have been without provocation-no
motive is known.
Chapey was arrested and is being
held in 81 900 bonds to await the result
Of Mr. Shank's injuries.

MAY SUE THE BREWERS.
Fort Scott Boys of Tender Age Are
Sold Whisky.

Fort Scott, Dec. 27.-In the office
of the juvenile court, before Judge
Hudson Thursday afternoon, a rathery
sensational situation was uncovered
when three boys, aged about 10 and
16 years, were arraigned for incor-
rigibility. All were neatly dressed
and come from good homes, and pub
licity as to their identity would only
shed a ray of disgrace upon their
parents. The boys were out ON u
drunk last night and the Juvenile
court took them in charge. 1t was
shown in their examination that they
had received a consignment of whisky
from the Blue Ribbon Liquor agency
at Rich Hill. The liquor was express
ed to them.
1t is very risky proposition to ship
whisky into prohibited territory. even
If the purchaser is of his majority
but where the buyer Is under age
an infant in the eyes of the law-it
is exceedingly dangerous and the
brewers or sellers of the stuff could be
prosecuted.
The boys will all be in Juvenile
court again and more evidence will be
taken at that time.

make the matter worse, the heads OF
thousands of families are out or work
now on account of the cutting down
by various employing firms and fac
tories. The tenants appear to be very
much in earnest and believe that II
they stand together they can win a
victory over the landlords.
Owners of buildings are evict1ng
the tenants who refuse to pay as rap
idly as possibly and many dispossess
notices were tackled on doors all over
the district yesterday and more will
be served today. The landlords say
that under no circumstances will they
make any reduction in the rents and
several of them announce that they
will close the tenements rather than
reduce the rents.
The committee that has the strike
in hand has arranged to care for those
who are evicted. 1t is planned when
ever a family is to be evicted, to send
them back into the house, the men,
