Mr.. Olcott OF New York opposed
the amendment, but with this sig
nificant statement:
Il ask the House not to take this
action in this way, and 1 assure the
House Of my firm belief that a gen
eraI gas bill for the District viii
be reported by the District Commit
tee in the fourth week in April"
While he did not state what the
reduced price Of gas would be, it
was generally inferred that IL would
be put down an a large degree
Those who spoke in favor of the
amendment were Mr.. Wilson. its au-
thor; Mr.. Mann Of Illinois. Mr. Mad
den of Chicago. and Mr.. Simms Of
Tennessee. These gentlemen gave
IL as their opinion that Washington
should be given cheaper gas as well

THE KOHiLA DITCH
AND ITS FINANCES

Judge De Bolt made an order author
izing the Hawaiian Trust Company, as
temporary administrator of the estate
of the late Mrs. Campbell-Parker, to
accept the payment of note from Sam
uel Parker to the estate, not yet due,
and to release the security. This is a
part of the financial transactions by
which the advances made by the Anglo
California Bank to the Kohala Ditch
Company on the guarantee of Mrs.
Campbell were repaid. The ad
vances of the bank were paid by the
sale of 100000 of the bonds of the
Ditch Company to Colonel Samuel Par
ker, and of 100000 to the Hawaii Mill
and Plantation Company. Bonds to the
amount of 100000 had previously been
sold, so that the entire issue of 100000
is now foated.

HANDLES MESSIAH GIVEN
BY STUDENT CLASSES

A musical treat, in which the pub
lie will be able to share on Sunday,
the 9th, was enjoyed by large num-
Der of guests and the alumni and
alumnae of the Kamehameha Schools,
last night, this being a partial rendi-
ton of Handel's Messiah, sung by
some of the leading soloists of the city
and a chorus of two hundred voices
from the Kamehameha and Normal
schools. The performance was mag
nifcent one throughout.
a year ago the Kamehameha Schools
choruses sang several numbers from
the Messiah as part of the Founder s
Day memorial exercises. This year.
also as a part of the anniversary exer-
ciseS, twenty-five numbers were given.
while each year to come several other
choruses will be added until eventual
ly the Messiah may be given as a
whole. The result of last nights per-
Torrance certainly justifes the efforts
made by the various trainers of the
choruses and justifes the expectation
that eventually the rendition of this
great oratorio will be one of the events
of Christmastide in Honolulu.

ANSWER IN THE kauai
ELECTION CONTEST

An answer was fled yesterday after
noon in the Supreme Court in the Kauai
election contest. The answer was fled
by E. C. Peters, representing the de-
fendant Baker. 1t is largely formal in
its character, denying generally any
fraud, or that the contestant is entitled
to the certificate of election as auditor.
As to the allegations of sthe petition
that in the Lihue precinct five votes
cast for Blake were not counted for
him but were counted for Baker, the
answer says that the defendant is with
out sufficient information to either deny
or affirm, but leaves the petitioner to
his proof. However, it is alleged that
in the Kealia precinct there were seven
more votes counted for Blake than he
is entitled to, so that in any event
Baker, the Republican candidate who
was elected on the face of the returns,
is entitled to the office.
The hearing of this case will follow
Immediately that of the hearing of the
Fern case, which is set to begin on
Monday.
