ther the Organic Act requires as a
prerequisite to the issue of county
bonds that there be property taxable
by the county for securing their pay
ment"
O. BY Section 40 Organic Act. Acr
139 becomes a law when it was passed
over the governors veto. By Section
So Organic Act territorial or county in
debtedness could not be incurred until
approved by the president and by Sec.
ject to his approval so that the sec
ton was not required in order to au-
thoriZe their issue. The mere post
ponement of the taking effect of an act
until a stated time or until an event
which may or may not occur does not
render the act incomplete legislation,
A majority of the court think that the
fourth section is not intended to re-
quire the presidents approval in or
der that the act should become law and
therefore is not an attempted delega-
ton of law making power.
(2) The resolution of the board of
supervisors does not strictly comply
with the requirement of Section A Act
G5 S. L. 1907 as to fixing the term" of
the bond issue, but Act 139, which re-
cites the resolution and refers to it as
"in accordance with the provisions of
said Act 65,' authorizes the treasurer
to issue bonds under and in accord
ance with the provisions of Act 65. -
This may be considered as showing
that the legislature regarded the reso-
luton as a sufficient compliance with
Act 65 or as dispensing with LITERAL
compliance in this respect, the act not
being in the nature of a fundamental
law but being subject to modification
or amendment.
CD The third ground is entirely
untonable since the first charge upon
the territorial revenues would be the
territorial bonds. The county bonds
although charged upon county revenues
derived from territorial revenues,
would necessarily be a second charge

NOLULU MAY BE ADVANCED.

Admiral Samuel w. Very, retiring
commandant U. S. Naval station here,
today received official information
from the Chief of the Bureau of Navi-
cation, Navy Department, Washing
ton, under date of April 8, to the effect
that preparations are being made to
dispatch the big fleet to Honolulu from
San Francisco on July 7, but that July
Z is only tentative, as the date will be
advanced if the drydoclking of the men
of-war is completed sooner.
The complete notice of the fleets
movements as received by Admiral
Very, is to the following effect:
The Pacific fleet will leave San Fran
cisco on May 8 to carry out a program

THURSDAY MASCOT
PRACTICALLY SOLD

Just a few seats lett, was the bull
letin issued from the box Office Of The.
Mascot at closing time last night, and
from the look of things it seems as il
those few remaining seats will not last
throughout today II must not be for
fotten, however, that there is a second
performance on Saturday next and
those who have been disappointed for
Thursday are strongly advised to Sc
cure their seats for Saturday as tickets
for this night are also going very
rapidly.
THE Mascot will prove in every
way that it merits this generous sup
port, and everybody is assured of get
ting their moneys worth. The entire
cast Of The Mascot are better able
to produce this comic opera than any
previous aggregation of amateurs, and
everybody from star to chorusman are
thoroughly conversant with their parts.
The Mascot will long be remem-
bered as starting a new era in the anna
teur annals of Honolulu, for it is safe
to say that no previous production has
been staged in such splendid form as
"The Mascot" will be.
Last night the rehearsal went off as
smoothly as the finished article, not a
hitch or discordant note anywhere. To-
night there will be another rehearsal
and tomorrow comes the final full
dress affair, one night previous to the
opening performance.
The orchestra must not be forgotten
in this coming production, as it plays a
most important part and it will be
found that this particular part of the
production has also come in for its
share of careful training. 1t can now
accompany the very weakest of voices
without drowning a single note, the
whole playing in such excellent har-
mony that it is a treat indeed.
The management has at last express
ed approval of the whole company, and
when that can be done we may rest
assured that everything is in thorough
working order and there is a guaran-
tee out that nobody will be disappoint-
ed.
The Kunalus, it seems, are assured
of a success which is certainly well
merited and Mr.. Hugo Herzer, who
has been managing the whole affair
must not be forgotten in the list of
| honors.
The Mascot company has the aloha
of all. They in their turn will show
that the pubic's confidence has not
been misplaced.

the case is whether the limitation of
Indebtedness which a county as a sub
division of the Territory may incur
in any one year (Organic Act Sec. 55),
namely, one per centum upon the as
sessed value of taxable property of
the county shown by the last general
assessment for taxation, implies that
the property upon the assessed va
lue of which the amount of indebted
ness is determined shall be taxable by
the county. ordinarily a power to
issue municipal bonds implies power to
levy taxes for their payment.
The inference that in limiting coun-
ty as well as territorial Indebtedness
to a percentage of the taXable proper
ty of the county or Territory, respec-
lively congress intended property tax
able by the county or Territory, which
ever should issue the bonds, is sup
ported by the fact that such limitations
are almost invariably referred to the
value of taxable property as a stand
ard, not merely as furnishing a con-
venient figure but "in relation to the
sources of payment" (Litchfeld V. Bal
lou, ia L. S. 1907, that is, to the
power of taxation by the municipality
itself.
If the provisions of the Organic Act
of this Territory, limiting indebtedness
which may be incurred by the Terri
tory or any subdivision thereof to a
percentage of the assessed value of the
taxable property of the Territory or
subdivision as shown by the legisla-
ton impairing the obligation of con-
tracts which may be applicable under
the provision in the Organic Act, Sec,
! u, that the constitution shall have the
same force and effect within the said
Territory as elsewhere in the United
States"
Whatever may nave Deen the object
which congress had in view in pre-
scribing the method of limiting the is
sue of county bonds by reference to
property taxable by the county it is
enough to say that such limitation
clearly appears to have been made.
On the fourth ground above men
toned the plaintiff is entitled to an in
junction restraining the defendant
from issuing the bonds.

BLINDED BY FLASH.
Lightning Causes William Dixon to
 Lose Sight.

New Britain. June 1.--While Will liam Dixon, 22 years old, son of John Dixon of No IT Spring street, was calling on Miss Annie Tossing, daughter of Alr and Mrs Gustave Y. Kosslng of No 11S KensIngton street. New Britain, about 7:30 o'clock last night, he was blinded by Hash of lightning and suffered temporary If not permanent loss of sight.
 Dixon was sitting by an open win dow in the Kossing home when there came a sudden flash of lightning which seemed to strike the house. The young man put his hands to his face and cried, "Oh, Annie, I can't see.' He then became hysterical and finally fell unconscious. Dr K. E. Kellogg was called and said that the optic nerves were infiamed. It is not known whether the blindness will be permanent. Dixon is employed by the I. Porter Company. Although the Kossings were of the opinion that the lightning struck the house no trace of it could be found.

 Marks Close of Session.
 Washington, June 1.-After the flli- buster on the financial bill collapsed the conference report was adopted by vote of 43 to 9, the remaining ap- propriation bills were finally passed, as was the government liability bill, and the first session of the Sixtieth congress adjourned without day.
 The collapse of the great filibuster against the adoption of the Aldrich. Vreeland currency bill enabled Senator Aldrich to get a vote. The conference report was adopted, 43 to 9. Five Re publicans, Borah, Bourne, Brown, Hey burn and La Toilette, voted with sey- enteen Democrats to make the twenty two. No Democrat went on record for the bill. President Roosevelt signed the measure.
 There was a dramatic finish to the theatrical filibuster. Senator Stone left the chamber while the blind Sena- tor Gore was speaking. He had not returned when Gore finished. although he had expected to be back to take up the time killing. Senator La Toilette, who had been told that he might take eight hours rest and that the floor would be kept, had not returned, being exhausted by his eighteen hours speech, which broke all congressional records.
 The currency commission, consisting of nine senators and nine representa- tives. appointed by Vice President Fairbanks and Speaker Cannon under the terms of the Aldrich-Vreeland bill held its first meeting. and, while the meeting was only for the purpose of organization, there was general dis cussion of plans. and 1t can be stated that if the outline submitted by Sena- tor Aldrich is perfected by the work Of the commission the country will be given the benefit of such a thorough Investigation and complete an exposi- ton of currency and banking as it has never before received.
 The vice-president announced the appointments of Senators Aldrich, AL llson, Burrows, Hale, Knox, Daniel, Teller. Money and Bailey as members of the commission and the speaker appointed members of the commission on behalf of the house as follows: Messrs vreeland. New York; Over street, Indiana; Burton. Ohio: Weeks. Massachusetts; B0nynge. Colorado: Smith. California. republicans: Pad gett, Tennessee; Burgess. Texas and Pujo. Louisiana, democrats.

into service broad sympathy for their foreign speaking brethren; by litera- ture specially prepared to meet the re- quirement of the foreign speaking in hls work, in his home and as member of society and of the government, and by lectures accompanied by stereop- ticon views which tell them the stories of the rise and growth of America, the men who sacrificed to achieve the results of today and the hope of to- morrow. To thls heritage the foreign born come, and the association hopes to help open their eyes and their hearts to its meaning and enlist their sym pathy and interest, their devotion and cooperation in making the civilization of North America what it ought to be. By cooperation with other agencies who are at work in bettering the con- dition of non- English speaking peoples in industrial centers, sa6 especially in the cities, much good will be effected.
 Tn this work the association is not attempting to proselyte any member of any race. Proselytism is not in tho programme. The emphasis is placed upon the industrial, social and moral betterment of all men and of all creeds. The work Is based upon Christianity, which is the breath of lire of the asso- citation and which assumes that when Jew and gentle, Catholic and Protes- tant, qualify themselves for good citi-, zenship in the government of North America they will be better prepared to discharge their religious vows at the altar whereat they worship, and it is believed that the secretaries who dis. charge their duties to the foreign speaking religiously by their devotion and self sacrifice have exhibited bet ter type of Christian manhood than can be portrayed by the most eloquent OratOry

Homeopathic and Maternity Hospital
 Got $10ooo by Quaint Plan.
 A series of holdups that for cooiness and daring rivaled anything that the wild west ever produced and which in a sense recalled the thrilling exploits of Calamity Jane were perpetrated re- gently in Yonkers, N. Y, on ''tag day."t
 Trolley cars were stopped on the main tracks and on switches, and pe- destrians were halted anywhere they happened to be and asked to hand over a part of their cash. Even the swift moving automobiles did not speed fast enough to save their occu- pants from being levied upon. The tagging was done to raise funds for the Homeopathic and Maternity hos pital and was conducted by about 300 society women in charge of Mrs. R. R. Trotter, Mrs. F. D. Blake and Mrs. J. c. Walker.
 At every street corner, at the rails road stations and postofices were com. mittees of white robed, white capped matrons and maids, each carrying a bunch of Red Cross tags and gener- ous sized red pasteboard box. As they approached their victims" tag in hand, each said with her sweetest smile, Take a tag, please; anything you wish to give" The response was generous. Even strangers coming to the city were not spared, and, although they were greatly surprised, every one contributed liberally.
 At Central and Yonkers avenues party of young women stopped the au- tomobile of James Butler, owner of the Empire City race track, and prof. fered him a tag. MT. Butler dived into an inside pocket, pulled out big roll of bills and, without stopping to count the money, handed 1t over and got his red cross. The activity of the women was striking. They stood for hours on the street corners in the sun. without showing any signs of fatigue. and they jumped on moving street cars and went into all office buildings, restaurants and other public places- Ready response was made by the fac- tory workers, clerks and tradesmen.
 The day was a successful one, and it is estimated that at least S10000 was raised.

Then pr. Steinmetx had this to say of the future:
 Tt is already out of the question to use wood for fuel, and now I ask you in all seriousness what are we to do when finally we are brought face to face with the fact that unless some substitute for coal Is evolved we will all freeze to death7
 ~The one thing that can keep us from freezing to death in winter is wa ter power. In Massachusetts there is water power many times greater than Niagara running to waste.
