AN ACCIDENT At
HALAWA MILL
James S. BaiIey's Arm Caught
in The Revolving
Machinery.

A wireless message yesterday from
Kohala stated that James s. Bailey of
Honolulu had got his arm caught in
some machinery at Halawa mill and
had suffered injuries which would
probably result in the loss of his arm.
Bailey is a machinist in the employ
of Cation, Neil & Co. His firm is in
stalling some machinery at Halawa
mill and Bailey was one of the en-
ployes sent up to install the machinery.
From the meager details given in the
wireless it is supposed that the ma
chinery was started in the course of
the work of installing it, and young
Bailey accidentally got his arm caught
in it.
James S. Bailey is a son of Jacob s.
Bailey, and is a young man well liked
by his associates and employers.

JAPANESE CONSULATE
EXEMPT FROM TAXES

1t was definitely settled yesterday
that the japanese consulate is exempt
from taxation.
The matter was considered during
Governor Carter's administration,
when, upon the strength of an opin-
ion rendered by the Attorney Cen
erals Department, it was concluded
that the consulate of Japan, which is
the Progress block, was not exempt
from taxation.
Governor Frear, on assuming office,
took the matter up and referred it 70
the new Attorney General, c. r. Hem
enway, and. according to his opinion.
the government now holds that the
property is exempt and has notified
Consul Saito accordingly.
There was another point to be con-
sidered,'' Acting Governor Mott-Smith
said yesterday with reference to the
of the question by the Frear
administration. More material has
become available to the Attorney Gem
era1 since the former decision

DENIES THAT He WAS
MAKING FAKE BIDS

In speaking of the story which was
printed in regard to his bidding for
the lease of lands of the Humuula
Sheep Ranch yesterday, A. L. G. At
kinson said:
'.The story in the Star which gives
the inference that 1 was making fake
bids, is most unealled for, and seems
to me to be rather more nasty than
anything else. | deeply resent what
Land Commissioner Pratt said. if he
did say it. He knew that I was going
to bid for the property, and that 1
would bid up high for it, as | told him
SO a week ago. If he made the re-
marks which he is credited with, it
seems to me that it little becomes him,
as the head of a department to do
so, particularly when the government
was so great a gamer.
AS a matter of fact the price of
the land, when you come to figure it
out, is not high. 1t costs about seven
teen or eighteen cents per acre each
year. That does not seem very
high price, though it is many times
the present rental.

STOCKHOLDERS
OF KIHEI WANT
TO SELL OUT
Authorize Directors to Clear Out Holdings for
$555, ,636---BaIdwin Expresses Regret
Over Outcome

"Kihei mas been a great disappoint-
Fnent to us all,' stated Chairman H. P.
Baldwin at the special meeting of the
stockholders of the Kihei Plantation
Company held yesterday afternoon at
the directors room of Alexander &
Baldwin, the purpose of which was to
wind up the company, authorize the
directors TO sell out at the best pos
rsible terms and go out of business. And
the purposes of the meeting were car
ried out without any opposition from
any of the shareholders present. the
only adverse vote to a resolution being
given because the date of the sale of
the property was put off six months
longer than the objecting stockholder
desired. At no time during the meet
ing. at (which over four-ffths of the
stock was represented. was there any
talk whatever of attempting to con-
tinue the plantation operations.
In expressing his regret at the un-
fortunate ending of the Kihei scheme,
Chairman Baldwin continued:
'sKihei has been a great disappoint-
ment to us all. 1t has been a great
disappointment to me. I have strug
among the heaviest losers in having to
abandon the plantation 1t is a thorn
I IN my flesh to think that so many have
Ssost in this venture. Every other thing
I have attempted in the sugar business
is a success. We had wrong informa-
tion, at leact I had, regarding the cost
lof pumping with the high lift pumps
$4nd the expense was greater than we
had anticipated.
& ''I think now that it would be better
to sell to.some already existing large
plantation. which perhaps can do some
thing with it. While we are all going
to lose heavily by this, yet I think 1t
is the best thing to do and 1 think that
there is a good prospect now of being
able to put through the deal. You all
know who the prospective buyers are,
but I will not announce them publicly
for fear that further complications may
arise. There has been some little COM
plication already but I think now that
the negotiations can be put through
and the company receive $500,000 net
for the stockholders d

HIGH SCHOOL
WILL Be BUILT
Work on S52.521 Educational
Edifice viii Begin This
Day.

THE High school proposition has
been consummated." Acting Governor
Mott-Smith announced in pleased tones
yesterday afternoon.
Work will be started at once. Will
liam G. Chalmets has the contract, the
price being $52,521. The appropriation
| is $56,177.ae. The difference will be alb
sorbed in architects fees, inspection.
etc.
ut does not matter how the Lanai
case is decided" Mr.. Mott-smith con-
tinued; I'VE get the Maertens property.
This settlement is entirely without
prejudice to any interest.
1.-The arrangement was entered into
for the sole reason that the Naertens
property is the most suitable for the
purpose which could be found. and we
have got to have more school room in
Honolulu
AS well known, the Maertens resi-
dence, at Beretania avenue, Victoria
and Young streets, opposite Thomas
Square, was one of the properties con-
veyed to the Territory in exchange for
the Island of Lanai. It was selected
specifically for the High School site.
Had the decision of the Supreme Court
affirming the validity of the deal end
ed the suit of L. L. McCandless,
taxpayer, to void it, there would have
been no more trouble about the erec-
tion of the schoolhouse on the prem
ises. When. however, the plaintiff ap-
pealed to the United States Supreme
Court, where the case is now pending.
it became out of the question to con-
struct $4,000 building upon a site
w ose title was liable to be swept
away before even the foundations were
laid.
This was an unfortunate condition
of things, for a High School building
was one of the most pressing needs
of the educational department. In
hopes of some arrangement being con-
cluded for the protection of the gov
ernment, bids were invited for the
erection of the building and some time
ago the contract was awarded. Work
had to begin not later than today or
the contract would fell through. In
the meantime, therefore, Superintend-
ent of Public Instruction Babbitt and
Acting Governor Mott-Smith, in al
most daily conference with Commits |
sioner of Public Lands Pratt and At
torney General Hemenway, strove to
find way of going ahead with the |
building. At almost the last hour an
was made with w. NJ. |
representing the parties of |
the other part in the Lanai deal, |
the Territory should retain |
the Maertens property in any event. |
If it is not TO be through the. Lanai /
deal it will be effected by the ex-
change of some other public land for
the High School site.
