SHAKB-UP in
TAX OFFICE
PROSPECT THAT INVESTIGATION
WILL RESULT IN A LOT Or
CHANGES THERE.

The Tax ONCE investigation which
days ago now as far as indications go,
appears to be as far from the end as
ever, a conference between the Gov
ernor, the Treasurer, and the AttOr-
ney General has been in progress this
morning, running well into the noon
hour, while other similar conferences
were held yesterday and the day be-
fore between the various parties inter
ested directly and indirectly.
1t is not believed that there has been
but that the Governor is endeavoring
to heal the breach between the Treas
ltry and the Tax Office and that the
matter when It is settled will provide
! for the continuance of the offices with
out any material changes so far as the
officials in control are concerned.
, There is certain to be a lively shake
( up in the Tax Office among the lower
clerks and deputies, however, regard
/ less how the matter goes, for there
are two factions there which would
make future harmony out Of question
| The situation in the Tax Office is said
to be anything but pleasant among the
employees Suspicion is rife, and every
body Is watching everybody else. No
body wants TO be seen talking any
more than necessary to anybody elsS
connected with the Office for fear o.
the suspicion which will be created.
The latest talk among the politician,
has now centered on the Tax Office
row, and will probably result IN a bill
in the next legislature to separate this
Office from the Treasury department
entirely, making it a separate depart
ment, the Collector to be appointed by
the Governor, and not by the Treasur
er as at present, provided 1t is founC
that this can be done under the Or
ganic Act
So far as is known there has beer
nothing brought against Collecto
Holt specifically, except the troub
with the discharged deputy Harbottle
and his story does not appear to b.

superintendent Campbell, of the De-
partment of Public Works made this
statement this morning 1t Is of in
terest from the fact that Reservoir

seryOir. Within two months Mr.
Campbell says that storage supply OF

amount the city will take by the big
new bar-lock pipe Just completed, D.
100000 gallons per day besides adGl-
tlonal water furnished by freshets IN
the stream. This supply will help out
the city supply very materially.
The storage to be thus obtained viii
be provided by n temporary dam which
will raise the water 20 feet. II will be
built the first thing by Contractor
Whitehouse primarily for the purpose
OF furnishing himself with the water
necessary for sluicing down the earth
for the fill back Of the dam Under
the contract, however, this water sup
ply is to be kept clean and mcontam-
mated in any way and the city is tc

above.
Although the contract has not yet
been formally signed, Contractor l.. NJ
Whitehouse has already put a gang ot
men at work opening up his quaries
and clearing off the ground from which
the sluiclng will be done, as well al
that which will form the now TEN
porary reservoir site, He promises {,

provides for which will sluice fou

l.. G, Kellogg who has just returned
from the mainland, in speaking this
morning on the pineapple outlook for
this year, remarked that he thought
that the industry was increasing very
much, and that the growers had every
reason to feel encouraged
The output at our canuery this year
will be about 10000 cases which means
100000 cans of the finished fruit. /
have great hopes for the future of the
industry here in the islands and the
only thing that will stand in the way
Of the industry becoming Il thorough
success is the Japanese,
II think the land owners who have
rented pineapple lands to the Japanese
have shown very great short sighted
ness, as the industry will be bound to
suffer If they erect canneries. They
will place on the markets of the world
an inferior article, People who have
been used to buying the best will very
soon discover this is not the best, and
lue ItSulI Will Dt lIdL IllC IlhuS W ~
drop at once, as people will not con-
sumo an inferior article,
Rather than see them start can
neries, will pay them Il fair price for
the fruit, and in that way keep them
from running the market, do not
understand what the land owners were
thinking of when they leased their
lands on long time leases to the Japa.
nese They are a good race in many
ways, but they will not keep up stan.
dard after little while. 1t will be a
sad day for Hawaii when the japanese
have the whole or part of the indus
try.
They have made serious inroads or
other lines of business here in the isl
ands, and now they are going to enteI
the pineapple industry which Is prac
tically in its infancy If they are abl'
to float enough money for Cannery
it is up to the other white men to sc
together and prevent it by Offering
them a good price for their entire out
put.

as they live.

The eloquent words of Brother
John w Davis, who delivered the
memorial address, conveyed with
expressive diction beautiful thoughts
OF an uplifting and inspiring nature.
He paid an earnest soul-stirrinS
tribute to the deceased members OF
the order, pointing out that there
was something in. their lives worthy
of muIatton by all, and commended
the custom of paying reverence to
those who have gone before. Nature
herself seems to contradict the theor-
les of the materialist, the speaker
said; and there is every assurance for
belief in the existence of divine,
omnfpotent being, and in the fmmor-
tality of the soul.
A striking feature of the service
was a large cross IN the center of
the stage, bearing fifteen illuminated
stars, the lights of which were ex-
tinguished, one by one, as the secre-
tary called the names OF the depart
ed members OF the order. Portraits
of the deceased members were ar
ranged in a semi-circle on the stage,
which was appropriately decorated
with the colors of the order, purple
and white, and black.
The services were preceded by a
selection by the Elks' orchestra
After the arrival of the lodge, a quar-
tette, Composed of Miss Frost, Miss
Duncan. Mr. Farland and Mr.. Shinn
sweetly rendered ''If You Love Me. =
by C. shipper The opening ceremon-
les of the lodge followed and the
Rev. ]. E. Bird nvoked the divine
blessing.
Miss Duncan sang a solo, Mendels-
gohn's Hear My Prayers. and
Brother Samuel R. Bentley, past ex-
allied ruler. reclted eloquently Bry-
ants immortal poem, "Thanatopsis."
Miss Byrd rendered a beautiful vocal
solo, 80. Dry Those Tears" by del
Rlego, after which Mr.. Davis deliv-
cred the memorial address,

following the memorial address, then
came the closing ceremonies of the
lodge and the memorial ode. to the
air of AUD Lang Syne," was sung
by the lodge and choir.
The benedicton was pronounced
by the Rev. Fl T. McClelland, and
the lodge left the hale while the or
chestra rendered an appropriate Sc
lection.

IT, A. Gardner. aged 80. a repre-
sentative of The Collegiate Assocta-
tfon at 23S Fourth avenue. Pitts
burg, was found dead in bed in MS
room at the home Of Rock Bell on
Mechanic street Sunday morning.
Heart trouble was the cause OF his
death.
Gardner's failure to arise at his
usual time in the morning attracted
the attention OF Mr.. Bell, who went
to his room and trapped at the door
but received no answer. It was
thought at first that Gardner was
asleep. but later, when no response
came to rappfnSs on the door, MT.
Bell looked through the transom and
saw Gardner lying across the bed with
the most OF his clothing en-. The
door was opened ana the man found
to be dead He had started to re-
move his clothes and had evidently
been in the act of untyfng his shoes
when he was suddenly stricken, and
fell back upon the bed. "A physician
was summoned, but a medical eNaTc-
ination showed that the man had
been dead for several hours Act
ing Coroner George II. Gordon was
called, but after making an investi-
gatton, decided an inquest GnueCss-
sary The body was taken to an
undertaking establishment to be pre-
pared for burial.
The dead man leaves SON, Oscar
w. Gardner, who resides at 12S Al
street Northeast, Washington, d. Co.,
and two younger children, a boy and
a girl, who sare attending school
there. A telegram was sent TO the

er's death and he wired reply ask
ing that the body be held until his

CHURCHES
Are Appealed to to Take Lead

Liquor Traffic.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. T.
Bishop Luther B. Wilson of the
Methodist Episcopal church present
ed the report OF the Committee on
Temperance and opened its discus
sion at the Federal Council Of
Church today. An outline follows:
Does the liquor traffic promote In
dustrIal prosperity? Patrons of the
saloon in the degree of their in
dulegnCe lost value as wealth pro-
ducers: merchants, manufacturers,
corporations OF standing insist upon
sobrfety as condition OF employ
ment., The traffic is never the ally
OF other industries. Outside the mar
row class of producer and distributor

to do with 1T. Indulgence in drink
means the enfee Element Of intellect
ual faculty, OF ethical constituencies,
OF religious emotion, of conceptions
of virtue, honor and righteousness.
1t makes against the great construc-
tive forces OF civilization and is the
great promoter OF disease, pauper-
ism and crime.
What shall the churches do? The
pulpit must live the, standard OF In
dividual duty to total abstinence.
me pew uluSL GLSCGPL lL4tl 6NGhAAN4StA ""
The law for the strong is service,
not self-indulgence. Both must work
against the traffic. No evil can long
withstand the power of the Chris
ton churches united, and II pulpit
and pew agree in demanding total
abstinence flor the Individual, it
must follow that prohibition will be-
come the policy of the state. II
the voice OF every pulpit rang clear,
and the laity Of every church repub-
lished the message under the domin-
fon OF new conception the people
would demand more wholesome laws.
The church must exercise her
function OF leadership. Here Is the
opportunity Of bringing to speedy
end this great wrong which has out
lived it's day-the legalized traffic In
strong drink.
