HAWAII'S INVITATION
washington, FEBRUARY %, 1907.

Washington, February %, 1907.
EDITOR STAR: The prompt action
of the Legislature in authorizing an in
vitation to members of Congress is
highly commendable, and will undoubt-
eddy lead to important and far reach
ing results for Hawaii.
l had already sounded certain MEM
bers and know that the general plan
would prove acceptable. The personal
invitations so far made have been well
received, and l have reason to believe
that we shall secure acceptances from
a representative group of Congressman
who are active both in Hawaiian and
general legislation
The invitations now being given, will
include members of the following COM
mittees: Territories; Ways and Means;
Appropriations; Public Buildings;
Rivers and Harbors; Interstate Com
merce; Naval Affairs; Judiciary; Mer-
chant Marine; immigration; Military
Affairs.
We have been able to bring consider
able pressure to bear on the house con-
ferees on the army bill, to have the
transport privilege amendment of the
Senate accepted, and there is strong
reason to hope that this will be done.
This will materially reduce the cost Of
ocean transportation for the visiting
party though it is likely that there will
not be transport space for all, and
some may have to come by steamer.
Through constant and concerted work
with the House conferees, on the Light
house bill, we have at last succeeded in
having a light house tender provided
for Hawaii at cost of $2l5000; this
with the Molokai light gives us a total
of $275,OOO in that bill, which is pro-
portionately far i'm excess of the amount
given to any state.
This gratifying result is the more
unusual, because it necessitated the
striking out of the tender provided for
California in the same bill. The aid
of Col. Hepburn was Of course in
valuable in securing this agreement by
the House conferees.
Tomorrow we have a hearing before
the Appropriations committee to en-
deavor to have the sum due the Ter
ritory for lighthouse maintenance add
ed to the general deficiency bill, mas
much as no more claim bills will be
passed by this present Congress.
A final effort will be made to gain
the Speakers consent to permit the
Refund bill to come up in the House for
a vote: but in view of his known hos
tility to the measure and the further
fact that Hawaii is being given more
than a million dollars by this present
session on Congress, it seems rather
rather unlikely that he will give the
measure the parliamentary aid which
will now be required to get it before
the House.
The immigration bill just passed is of
course of the greatest Importance to
Hawaii.
There is an undoubted feeling on all
sides that the unprecedented action
taken Is somewhat in the nature Of a
tentative arrangement; but 1t is hoped
that the results as they affect Ha-
vail, may be continued in future le-
sislation on this subject.
Very truly yours,
j. KAIIANIANAOLE,
Delegate to Congress.

per cent of the total amount of poll and
school taxes and taxes on property and
incomes collected in each County be

explained that the County revenues
had been taken care Of by several pre-
vious bills and that such an amend

Senate. Whereupon Mr.. Nailima with
drew his amendment. and the bill, on

ME PRACTICE ACT.

House BIZ No. 16, introduced by Mr..
Silva and aimed at practicing of the
Attorney Generals office in outside
cases, again caused the House to "sit
up"
Mr.. Rawlins moved that the bill be
recommitted to the Judiciary Commit
tee. He condemned the action of those
affected by the bill, who, he said, rush
ed into print with statements of their
side of the case, instead of appearing
before the committee.
Mr.. Kaniho opposed the motion to
reconsider as lowering the dignity of
both the House and the proposer of the
bill. He said that it was beginning to
appear that the legislature was being
run from the outside, intimating that
the judiciary Committee had been so
Influenced. s'his brought Mr. Rawlins
to his feet. Chat gentleman made a
warm denial that he had been infu-
enced by any consideration other than
a desire on the part of the committee
to amend the bill. Mr.. Kaniho answer
ed that a bill could be amended at any
time after its passage, and moved that
immediate action be taken on the bill
as reported by the judiciary Commit
tee, again referring to outside infu-
ence." Mr.. Rawlins, now thoroughly
heated, said that il was evident that
the interpreter could not make his (Mr.
RawlinsD statements clear to Mr. Ka-
Milo; he appealed to the Speaker to eX-
plain his position to Mr.. Kaniho.
Speaker Holstein accordingly, in a
short talk to Mr.. Kaniho poured oil on
the troubled waters and harmony was
restored. The bill was recommitted to
the judiciary Committee

House Bill No. "a, requiring street
railway companies to sprinkle portions
of streets, came up for third reading.
Mr.. Kaniho asked if the Rapid Transit
Co. had consented to the passage of the
bill. Mr.. Coney chairman of the Com
mittee on Health, replied that the COM
pany had not been consulted. Mr.. Ka-
niho stated that the measure infringed
on the rights of private concerns; that
it seemed to place the railway COM
pany under the control of the Depart
ment of Public Works. Representa-
tive Hughes said that the Superinten-
dent of this department already had
too much power; that he could shut
down the County if he so desired Mr.,
Sheldon, the father of the bill, said
that street car companies ought to
sprinkle the streets because they made
their profits from, them; the object of
the bill, he explained, is the protection
of property holders from the dust
caused by the passage of cars. Mr.
Kalana pointed out that the proposed
law was defective in that no penalty
was provided. The bill however, pass
ed without amendment.
House Bill No. "a. amending Sections
1922, 1923 and 1926, Revised Laws, relat-
ing to lepers and leper hospitals, pass
ed second reading.

THE AGE OF CONSENT.

Senate BIZ NO, 81 provides maxi
mum penalty for the crime of inter-
course with female under the age of
IA Of not more than years imprison-
ment. An amendment was offered by
Representative Kaleiopu providing a
minimum penalty of one year. Mr..
Mahoe thought the old law better than
the new, unless the latter was amended
as suggested by Mr.. Kaleiopu. Mr..
Rawlins, in an appeal for justice to
persons accused of this crime, cited
cases in which there had been decep-
ton as to age on the part of the COM
plainant; he thought that in these
cases a very moedrate punishment suf-
feed. He did not, therefore, favor a
rigid minimum penalty; the circuit
judges, he said, could be relied on to do
their duty and the disposal of such
| cases ought to be left to their discre-
ton. Mr.. Correa stated that he had
previously introduced a bill dealing
with the crime under discussion which
he wished to withdraw in favor of the
present one. The bill as amended by
Representative Kaleiopu finally pass
ed third reading.

2944, Revised Laws relating to punish

TARIFF DOESN'T AFFECT cosT or
LIVING.

Much has been aid In the papers
about the high cost of living In the
United States, but those who think
they are paying high for what they
eat should read the following clipped
from the Washington Post:
"Washington Is not the only city
Of high prices" said Thomas Ste
phens, Of Montreal, 1t the Riggs
House.
"There was Q time when things
could. be bought In Montreal st q
reasonable figure, but that time has
passed. Perhaps We have borrowed
the habit from the United States.
If 20, we have improved on 1t, for
/ do not make a misstatement when
| say that living Is higher there
than lin Washington. In the last
eighteen months bread has gone up
TO eighteen cents loaf, and milk &c
ten cents quart.
at Is true that the 18.cent loaf In
Montreal is about twice as large a.
your cent loaf here, but at that,
the price is more than so per cent
greater. Beef sells for twenty Ave
and thirty cents a pound, and other
articles Of food are proportiOnstely
high. 1t is just as cheap for the
common people to eat game, such q
venison, moose, and caribou, as 1t Ii
TO eat beef, and ct Christmas time
the middle classes feast off of wild
duck and game because 1t is as cheap
if not cheaper than turkey or beef
Rents, too, have advanced 30 that
houses that could have been rented
for sl5 a month five years ago now
bring S25 and $50. About the only
thing cheap in Canada are furs, and
they are going up in price every
year"

IN POLITICS.

The Winston Daily Sentinel says
it hopes too much politics will not
be injected into this railroad rate
controversy.
1t strikes US that there should be
no politics in it at all however, it
strikes some of the peanut pOliti-
clans differently and they are trying
to make reputation in the case
that will land them in some fat
Office. 1t seems almost impossible
to start any movement without it's
being loaded down with politicians
looking for nest feathers.
When the temperance forces or
ganized in this State, the politicians
were on hand swearing that it was
the very thing, and that the Demo-
cratic party was the Moses that would
lead them safely What was the re-
suit? They have used the temper
anCe forces to further their political
ambitions without regard to what
was really best to promote temper
ance in the State. One prominent
politician, who had been a whiskey
man, declared for prohibition-then
before election said prohibition
wouldn't do at that time-then after
the election declared for prohibition
again. Was such changes to pro-
mote Temperance or was it political
trickery? If the politicians want
to get into the reforming business
they should start political reforma-
tion and allow other organizations
to work out their own salvation.

How is it that the Penitentiary
authorities can furnish fifty con-
victs, and more, if wanted, to the
South Atlantic and Transcontinental
Railroad to work on their road and
could not furnish any convicts to
work on the road being built from
Lumberton to Hope Mills? It will
be remembered that the manage
ment of the last named road applied
to the Superintendent Of the Peni-
tertiary in February for convicts to
work on their road, and were told
that all the convict labor was en-
gagged and would not even promise
the road any convicts at any future
date, but since then have furnished
convicts in any number to work on
the Mattamuskeet and the South At
lantic. 1t is said that Mr.. Mclean.
of the Lumberton road, was not in
harmony with the administration
and was thus punished. At the same
time the State was farming out cons
vict labor to a labor agency in an
other State, and the said agency was
hiring the convicts to corporations
in this State at great profit. This
is matter that should be fully in
vestigsted.

Wheeling, W. Va, Sept. 3O.-Rel.
atves Of Mrs. Fred Hartsell, wife of
a farmer living near Huntington.
were bemoaning her death over her
coffin few minutes before the min.
lister arrived to conduct the last sad
rites, when suddenly she sat up, and
with dazed look, elm bed out. There
was a rush Of mourners for the win
dows, and they were being used "a
exits. The mourners were terror.
stricken and the preacher swooned
when a pale-faced woman, over
whose remains he had been called to
conduct services, met him at the
door.
The family were too poor to have
physician and the woman fell into
swoon, in which she remained
three or four days. Her husband
thought her dead and sent for the
undertaken. He prepared the sup-
posed corpse for interment without
discovering that life still fingered.
