Eager Buyers Compete
At Public Auction
For A|eWa Tract Lots
SPIRITED BIDDING FOR RESIDENCE SITES

Honolulu people want to own their
own homes. This fact was evidenced
this morning by the large crowd in
attendance at The auction sale held
by Land Commissioner Pratt of the
.Alewa lots, and by the spirited bidding
for the choice pieces.
There were about 100 hundred peo-
pie plesent when o,e sale began. Most
of them had blue prints of the Alewa
tract in their hands, to which they
constantly referred as the sale went
on. When manor woman-was
outbid for the particular lot most de-
sired, there was no going away mad
They Just stayed on and tried for
other lots until they succeeded in get
ting one to fit their pocketbooks.
A large number Of the successful
bidders were school teachers. And 1t
was noticeable fact that they did not
want the cheap lots. They were after
the best ones, and they got what they
wanted, in some cases outbidding peO.
pie with much fatter wallets.
Besides the teachers, there were sew
eral sea ca!rains present who had
chosen Alewa as the place where they
wanted to spend their declining years.
Captain Haglung, Captain Tullett( for
Mrs Tullett) and Captain Piltz all
purchased good lots, where they will
built their residences.
There were quite number of lots
withdrawn because nobody would Of
fer any advance on the unset price
but these were without exception the
cheapest and most undesirable~fots on
the tract The higher priced lots were
the ones that nearly everybody wanted
and it was for them that there was the
most excited bidding.
The fact that a large number Of
these lots were sold with the residence
condition seemed to make little differ
ence. These people were not specula-
tors; they were people who wanted
homes and they intended to live on
the lots anyway. so the residence
clause was no hardship. AS rule the
price paid wasi much higher than tho
upset price; in few cases nearly
double.
Several of the Government officials
purchased home sites, among them be-
ing George Sea, deputy High Sheriff,
and w. C. Creedon, the Governors
private secretary. Several attorneys
also acquired lots. The one who
seemed to be most pleased with his
bargain was w. w. Thayer, who was

CALL|E LUCAS LEADS
IN LATEST COUNT OF
PACIFIC STATES TOUR
OFFICIAL COUNT WILL Be MADE AUGUST 10
L. caIIie Lucas of Honolulu leads.

L. CaiIie Lucas of Honolulu leads.
That Is the result after the votes
were counted this noon in the last
unofficial office count for the Pacific
Coast Tour. Be It remembered that
this is not the last official count, but
next to the last.
The Honolulu favorite has, advanced
In three days from the third place, 60
ing over the head Of the apparently
invinicble Daisy Todd and even going
ahead of Miss Saffrey, who. made such
a sensational jump at the last weeks
count. s 3a
There were only three days In
which to gather votes and Miss Lucas
friends during that time found over
thlrty-three thousand which they put
In to her account. The CaIlie Lucas
hackers have said all along that they
would be satisfied with second place.
Apparently they have other plans.
There is this feature to be taken
into consideration when casting up
for. the, final count. The outside Is
land vote Is not so generally deposit
ed as that Of Honolulu. The record
as Il atands today Of course includes
the votes that came In the Saturday
and Sunday mails. Friends Of some
Of the candidates made no effort to
get In additional votes for this count,
preferring rather to play dark horse
game and put In big bunch for the
final official count.
The advance of Miss Lucas caused
another shuttle and increased the
doubt that surrounds the membership
of the Lucky Six party. Miss SAT-
frey drops to second place, but she
cast only about eight thousand votes,
which are by no means the saffrey
limit. Miss Todd takes third place,
but she cast less than five hundred
additional votes.
Robe AIoiau held her relative place
In good style so far as the next COM
petitor Is concerned. Katie SadIer
made a jump from sixth to fourth
place, putting Miss AIoiau down one
point and moving Miss Lemon to the
sixth place.
Miss Mundon remains In the sew
enth place with the promise Of rec
ord breaking jump whom the final
count Is made.
The late additions to the voting list
have upset more than one calculation.

Japanese
Landed

1.-THE Kumeric Japanese have land-
cd at Vancouver without any trouble"
said Consul Saito this morning when
interviewed. Il received cable mes
sage from Consul Morikawa at Van
couver In which he made the above
statement The only trouble Is with
the Japanese themselves. They could
not get hotel accommodations ano
were therefore compelled to seek shell
ter in the open air. The labor unions
are strongly opposed to having any
kind of work given to the Japanese
new arrivals. On that account tho
Japanese are beginning to scatter all
over the county in search of work.
The saw mills and factories are op-
posed to hiring the Japanese and
therefore they are up against 1t. s.
Ammo, who advertised in newspapers
previously, is using his best efforts to
secure work for the Kumeric Japa-
nese.''
The hui which chartered the Kum-
eric has heard from Moriyama, its
agent which was with tho emigraIts
en- the voyage 10 Vancouver. He
merely states that the passengers have
been landed, but that some trouble
was experienced in finding quarters for
them. as the japanese hotels were not
able to furnish sufficient acconmodA
tions for so large "a crowd. The show
money of $25 for each Of the immi-
grants, which had been placed In the
care of the captain of the Kumeric,
has been turned over to the Japanese
consul at Vancouver.
The Hawaii Shinpo has also received
cablegram, but its contents are prac-
tically the same as those received by
Consul Saito and the hui.

in New York at 1896 cents. This is a
good advance over the last quotation

that the market is moving steadily in
the direction Of four cents, and quite
a good sized amount of Hawaii's crop

RESPONSIBILITY OF THE MANAGERS

The Trenton Times editorially quotes
and implicitly approves the view taken
by a Trenton lawyer of the scandals in
the State Hospital for the Insane. In
this lawyers view the managers en-
ployed a medical superintendent and a
steward, at handsome salaries, to look
after the work of administration at the
hospital, and they are the men against
whom are to be charged the d%eplorable
conditions that have been permitted to
exist. Nor would any n think OF
blaming the Trenton Common Council
for the faulty construction of a sewer"
No administration can be too utterly
bad to find an apologist and defender,
and some lawyers are so accustomed to
the defense of crime and criminals that
their moral sense becomes perverted.
There is not the least analogy between
a Common Council and an executive
managing board charged with specific
duties in the administration Of a public
trust, and the comparison made is
absurd.
II the duty of the board of managers
was limited to the employment of a
steward and medical superintendent the
board might discharge that duty and
then go out of existence. But its title
would be a misnomer. Managers are
supposed to manage, and when the af-
fairs of their trust go wrong the re-
sponsibility rests upon them. The Tren-
ton board attempted to make a
of Medical Director Ward.
but they are responsible for him, for
they kept him in his position long after
he had become unfit for his duties, and
they were Indifferent to conditions that
prevailed in the hospital.

PROFITS ON THE CLOTHES OF THE
PATIENTS.

Warden Hayes, Of the State Hospital
for the Insane at Trenton, when he
testified before the Hahn committee.
acknowledged that he bought the hos
pital supplies from certain retail deal
ers without competitive bids, but he
believed, he said, that he bought more
cheaply in that way. Manager Rice
when questioned was also of the same
opinion. Manager Rice did not volun-
teer the information hat the principal
dealers were his two sons and his two
sons-in-law.
But Inquisitor Backes has looked
into the prices charged by Manager
Rice's relatives and paid by Warden
Hayes year after year. Warden Hayes
might at any time have interviewed
clothing dealers in Trenton or else
where to find out the real market value
of the goods he purchased from the
Rice concerns. But he didn't.
One witness. a clothing dealer anc
expert. testified yesterday that tbs
trousers for which Warden Hayes pait
$1.35 per pair could be bought for 1915
a dozen pair. Coats for which he pait
the Rice concerns $2.25 could be bough
for 81. A quality of clothes costinl
the hospital $3.50 had been sold 70
$3.50. Another witness. also a clothing
dealer, gave similar testimony.
Naturally the question is suggests
as to why Warden Hayes patronize'
the Rice establishments year after yea
at these extortionate prices? He is no
an amiable fsol. easily imposed upor
He led the board of managers by thei
noses; he sat down upon poor old Di
Ward, and he had the hospital officer
completely under his control. The war
den has had exclusive and unrestricte
authority to expend about 5000, 900 an
nually for the hospital. If he was S
intelligent to the sons and sons-in-la'
of Manager Rice in his purchases {
clothing and stores, it is pertinent I
inquire how he spent money in otht
directions. Perhaps the board of mar
ayers. when it meets tomorrow to- az
upon Warden Hayes's case, will SUI
pend the whitewash brush and tai
a look at the testimony before IL

DANGER OF

What with the repeated outrages In
New York and vicinity and the lurid
accounts that appear in print we may
soon witness a series of %lynchings. In
fact, attempts have already been made
by mobs to kill suspected men. At any
time the shrek of some hysterical
woman who imagines she is about to
be attacked or the story of some child
with her imagination influenced by the
prevailing fear may cause the lynching
of some innocent person. Excited mobs
are insensible to reason and uncon-
trollabIe. In the congested tenement
districts of New York there Is nervous
apprehension by parents, and an accu-
sation against an innocent a how-
ever mild, would place him in imminent
peril of his life. The epidemic of das-
tardly crime that prevails in New York
could be made Worse only by lynchings.

THE LOOT OF THE STATE LANDS.

The State Riparian Commission, so
far as known, has made no grants of
lands since the Legislature convened
in January. There has been no report
of a meeting of the commission n If
any business of the kind has been
transacted it has been done privately
and without the public knowledge.
When the legislative committee was

affairs last year the requirement was
made that no grants should De given
pending action by the Legislature.
That body has not adjourned.
There was a greedy crowd of appli-
oants for grants before the Legislative
committee before the committee closed
it's investigation, and they all rehearsed
the reasons for satisfying their greed
for the State lands at nominal prices,
that have been given in detail and at
different times in the Herald by its
Trenton correspondent, Riparian Com
missioner Cloke. That guardian of RI
parian interests, unabashed by his dis

CREAM VICTORY roR zee STATE.

The State has won a great victory
in the Supreme Court in the decision
read by Justice Pitney on the constitu-
tionality of the Perkins railroad tax
act. The issues involved are yet
to be passed upon by the Court of
Errors and Appeals. but in view of the
decision by that court as to the con-
stitutionality of the Dufield act taxing
second-class railroad property, there is
hardly a doubt the decisions Of the Su-
preme Court will be affirmed. The hope
may be entertained also that the APP
pellate Court will announce it's deci-
sion at an early day.
The annual amount of tax actually
involved in the question of the con-
stitutionality of the Perkins tax act
exceeds two and a half millions of the
total assessment of 1868, 52s on the
main stem, as a tax of one-half of 1
per cent. was due anyhow under the
act of 1884, which was replaced by the
Perkins act. But he contention by
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
for its New Jersey properties and fran
chises was that it was not even taxable
under the act of 1884 and that the an
nual tax paid by the company under
formal protest since that year had
been unlawfully assessed, inasmuch as
the company was protected by its
various charters and by a contract
made with the State in 1869, which had
not been abrogated by any general law
as provided in the contract. If the
Pennsylvania Railroad claim had been
sustained the loss of State revenue
would be still more serious and a State
tax ON the people would be inevitable.
a situation so grave as the loss of
millions of annual tax revenue is now
we may be well assured. averted.
Every municipality in the State has
felt the delay in the distribution by
the state of the main stem railroad
taxes. All of them have scratched hard
to make both ends meet pending a final
decision by the courts. The railroads
have paid to the State the one-half of
i per cent. tax, leaving the balance
TO be payable on the order of the
court. Whether there will be further
litigation before the State can come
into its own, whether. the railroad
companies win tie up the taxes by an
appeal to the United States Supreme
Court is uncertain.
But a disregard of the decisions by
our State courts when completed. and
an adherence to the selfish policy of
Sinking State taxes, which has SO
greatly enriched the railroad corpora
tions at the expense of the people of
the State, would create an intense pub
Nc feeling that no thoughtful man
would like to see aroused In all proba-
bility the railroad companies VIII
quietly accept the judgment of the
state courts and pay their assessed
taxes under the new equal tax law.

Home Rule Bills.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star;
What Is the difference between Glad
stones Home Rule bill and the Irish Couii-
ell bill? r. M c.
rThe Home Rule bills introduced by Mr..
Gladstone contemplated the establishment
of an Irish Parliament in Dubli to have
complete control of all Irish affairs, but
to have nothing to do with imperial mat
tiers. Much of the opposition arose from
the provision that ireland was not to be
represented in the English Parliament.
The irish Council bill introduced BY Mr..
Birrell was regarded as only an INSTALL
ment of home rule. 1t provided for the
establishment of a Council In Dublin to
have the regulation and control of some
departments of Irish local government.
but the powers of this national council
were to be greatly restricted.-Ed.]
