LUNAL|LO HOME
TRUSTEES HALT
Are Cautious About Endanger-
ing the Whole Estate
of the Home.

The award of contract for the con-
struction of the Makik slopes road
has not been formally awarded yet,
and the contract will not be signed
until the question of a right of way
through the property of the Lunalilo
Home is settled.
The road as laid out goes through a
corner of the grounds of the Home.
Under the deed by which the trustees
of the Home hold the property it is
provided that if it shall ever he used
for any other purpose than the pur-
pose of the Home, it shall revert to
the government. For this reason the
trustees are very careful about such
matters and, before giving the right
of way required by the proposed loca-
ton of the road are taking legal ad-
vice and going very cautiously. 1t is
thought, however, that the right of
way will be granted. If it is not,
either the property required may be
condemned, or the location of the road
may be changed. 1t is hoped, though,
that this will not be necessary, as the
road as now planned gives the best
grades and the cheapest construction,
besides meeting the requirements of
convenience and scenic attractiveness
better than any change would permit
il to do

LONGS FINAL ACCOUNT

M. T. Simonton as master, to whom
was referred the final accounts of Car

non with the will annexed of the es-
tate of Robert William Holt which was
filed April 81, 1907, yesterday filed
his report. The delay in the report is
explained as being due to the tendency
of an appeal to the Supreme Court
in matter affecting the estate.
The master recommends that for
overpayment of income account the
administrator be surcharged with $163.-
II; that commissions be allowed to the
extent of $43S1.83; that the admins
traitor justify himself in the large
expenditure on principal account, and
that a supplemental account to date
be required.
The master holds that the admins
traitor is crediting himself with COM
missions on a principal sum of So, 273,
"a, when as a matter of fact there is
no such sum in existence for the reason
that half of it was long ago settled
on certain heirs of the testator and
a part of it was paid out in commits

WILL SUE SCORES
Of DELINQUENT is
Tax Office Preparing Papers
in Hundreds of Tax
Suits.

| Tax Assessor Holt and his office
force are busy preparing to begin a
large number of suits for taxes. These
suits, which will number several hun
bred, will be brought in the district
courts according to where the taxes
are due or the delinquents reside.
On the average there is about sixty
or seventy thousand dollars of taxes
delinquent each year in Honolulu. For
many years the amount delinquent
each year exceeded the amount of de-
linquent taxes collected each year, so
that there accumulated an immense
amount of taxes which stood on the
books as delinquent. OF course great
deal of this never can be collected.
The delinquents have died or moved
away, leaving no property or assets
out of which they can be collected. A
great deal of it, however, can be coll
lected by diligence and energy, in the
opinion of Tax Collector Holt. The
collection of delinquent taxes last year
amounted to about $4,000, which was
more than the average annual amount
that becomes delinquent.
'.I believe that the most successful
way to collect delinquent taxes. espe-
cially personal taxes" said Collector
Holt, lis to send a persistent collector
out after them. Keeping after the
delinquents is more successful than
any other means. That is why [ pro-
posed to the Board of Supervisors
that it make an appropriation for
this purpose. I am sure it would
greatly benefit the county. 1 have just
had a conference with County Attor-
ney Cathcart in which I urged the
advantages of this means

MARY KELLY'S OFFERING.

The congregation of little village

in their efforts to raise certain sum
of money much desired by the pastor,
to be used in identifying their place
of worship. During evening service
shortly after a most generous and I'M
expected amount had been placed in
the good pastor s hands, he was quite
overcome, and praised their kind and
generous impulses, explaining that, no
matter how small the offering, God
would reward them.

SAYS ARMSTRONG
IS IN CONTEMPT
Because He Stills Draws Water
From an Enj0ined
Pipe.

| Proceedings were begun in the Cir
cult court yesterday to have James
Armstrong found guilty of, and pun
ished for, contempt of court The pro
ceeding is in the case of the Oahu
Railway & Land Company against
Armstrong. An affidavit by A. w. Van
Valkenberg, secretary of the railway
company, alleges that Armstrong has
violated the injunction against him
issued in this case. The injunction
restrained him from maintaining a GER
tain pipe line across Lehua avenue,
Pearl City, so far as the same is with
in the land of the railroad company,
and from carrying water across said
land through said pipe. It is alleged
in the affldavit that in spite of this
injunction Armstrong has continued to
use the pipe and to maintain it.

The snowshoe Rabbit.

Nature has tried many means of
saving her own from the snow death;
some, like the woodchuck, she puts to
sleep till the SHOWS shall be over.
Others she teaches to store up food
and to hide-so she deals with the
woodmouse. To still others. as the
moose. she furnishes stills. The last
means she employs is snow shoes.
This, the simplest, most scientific. and
best, is the equipment of the snow
shoe rabbit. the Wabasso of Hiawatha

The moose Is like a wading bird OF

well for space. but that soon reaches
the limit beyond which il is no bettes

shoe is like the swimmer-it skins

it's strength.

with loss of about $500. could have
been prevented had Kalamazoo Of

Baker, a Battle Creek horseman,
whom the officers had arrested on sus-
picion of his being insane. Baker was
acting queerly when arrested, but said
he was thoroughly frightened. While
lounging in a field, Baker SAYS, he
overheard robbers planning to break
the Mattawan bank. He crawled out
of the field on his hands and knees
and when arrested told his story. The
officers laughed at him and put him in
Jail. Baker insisted, even stating that
nitro-glycerine was to be used That
night, while the officers still ridiculed
Baker, the postoflice was burglarized,
just as the horseman had said. Baker
