OLD FIGHT BETWEEN
RICH AND POOR

The county commissioners have
had their sessions pretty well
taken up of late with discussions
as to the boundary lines Of the
new townships recently adopted.
The old fight of the rich man
against the poor man has devel-
oped in these discussions, as the
farmers living in the fertile, well
improved districts object to being
placed in townships where there is
scab land and poor farms, conse-
Quently poor roads.
BY being placed In such town
ships the farmer with the well i'm
proved farm is afraid he will be
taxed more than his share for i'm
proving the roads in the poor dis
tricts, while the man in the poor
district does not want to bear all
of the burden of improving the
roads for the rich farmers to
travel over. Final action on town
ship lines will be taken next Tues
day.

ED KONA SETTLEMENT or NO
AVAIL.

Judge De Bolt today rendered an
opinion in the matter of arbitration
between the Kona Development Com
pany, ct al, and NJ. F. Scott, in which
he holds that the agreement of sub
mission and the award are void and
incapable of enforcement, and that the
court has no power or jurisdiction to
accept the award as its judgment"
The matter was dispute over a
contract for furnishing cane from a
certain piece of land, and after the
award Of the arbitrator it was sub
mitted to the court on appeal on
points of law and exceptions. Scott
later moved to set aside the award on
legal points, and by Judge De Bolts
opinion this is granted.

lookout being kept forward and man
being ordered to the foremost lookout.
The passengers were much interested
and if there had been another signal 1t
could not have escaped the many who
were watching.
Being close to the Island OF Kauai
the Buford dared not approach too near
the shoals and, when about seven miles
had been traversed, the vessel was put
back on her course.
What was it the people on the BufOrd
saw?
Aboard the transport this morning it
was stated that all indications were
that the rocket had bee nfired from an
open boat. If a steamship or sailing
vessel had signalled, so prompt had
| been the Buford' change of course, she
would undoubtedly have been seen. If
she had been a steamship her lights
would have been observed, wnen the
course was changed and the forty min
ute search was made, or her whistle
would have been heard, or she would
have sounded her syren had not her
engines been dead and her fires out.
Had she been sailing vessel it would
be reaonable to suppose that she would
have sent up more rockets or have fired
a signal gun.
The fact that but one rocket was
sent up and that it appeared to come
from close to the water, would indicate
in the opinion of the BufOrd's officers
that the signal of distress was from a
ships boat, a life-boat in which very
likely were survivors of a wreck oil
men who had abandoned a vessel, and
that their single sign of trouble was
perhaps the last rocket in their pos
session.
The Buford people believe that the
flash in the night might have been {
call for help from men of the japanese
steamship Goto Maru, now 81 days on
of Hakodate for San Francisco anC
given up for lost. They would ma
turally signal every passing steamship

they could see her lights, as long a.
their rockets held out 1t would b
. easy to fail to see a ships boat a
night within a mile or So The Blu
ford brought her searchlights into pla,
but nothing was seen.
