WON'T
RELEASE TAXES

The distribution Of Tie Mahuka site
money has been delayed ever since Its
arrival here on account Of the fact
that United States District Attorney
BreckonB would not do anything until
the whole property was clear from any
title questions. Specifically, he has
been delayed because certain OF the
taxes have not been paid. .
A. N. Campbell and +. +. Steere,
representing the Warehouse Trust
Company, called on Acting Governor
Mott. Smith this morning to find out
whether the release Of the second one
half year payment Of taxes on the
Mahuka site could be secured. Taxes
are assessed on the first Of January
and payable in two equal payments.
The first payment for this year has
been received by the Territory and re-
lease of the second payment was
sought for.
This. however, was refused by Act.
Ing Governor Mott.Smith. Frank
Hatch, clerk of the United States Dis
trict Court, is also held up by virtue
OF the fact that tho Warehouse peo.
pie have not sent up the money which
they are to pay into his hands. They
are acting In the matter for a number
Of people.

SIMPSON WAS NOT
AFRAID TO MURDER
Thre atened to XIII His wife, Saying
He Could Not Be Hanged
In Hawaii.

Alleging that her husband frequent.
~ threatened to kill her, saying that
he was not afraid of his life, because
there was no longer any law provid.
rig for the hanging OF murderers In
Hawaii, and the worst penalty he
rould suffer. in event of his killing
his wife, would be Imprisonment, Mar.
,ha Simpson has filed libel for d.
vorce from James ID. Simpson, and
The case will come up before Judge
Lindsay In the Circuit Court shortly.
The complaints set forth In the libel
by Mrs. Simpson are strongly worded.
to say the least. She says that they
were married on November 20, 1907,
living together until May 10, 1908,
and that during all this time her hus.
band practicei habitual and extreme
cruelty upon her. She says that many
times he assaulted. beat, bruised, and
choked her, and, for specific In.
stance, she names May 10, 1908, when,
while at her own brothers home. her
husband applied filthy and indecent
epithets to her and threatened to kill
her.
James Simpson made big mistake
when he stated, as alleged by his wife
that there Is no death penalty fol-
murder In the Hawaiian Islands, and
he would soon have found IL out II he
had carried out his threat. The Re
vised Statutes of Hawaii say THE
penalty for murder in the first degree
shall be DEATH"

val Affairs be invited to visit the Ter
ritory, reported $4,000 had been raised
and that the Chamber Of Commerce
was to hold meeting on the 18th to
authorize the extending OF such in
vitation. At the suggestion Of the
Promotion Committee 1t was decided
to ask the Delegate to try to have a
war vessel named after Hawaii.
The committee handling Mrs. Ora
hams scheme to have the local Or
CARNATIONS subscribe for the pur-
pose Of buying and improving the
fishmarket. SO that 1t could be used
as a general town hall. wrote outlin-
Ing its plans and asking for financial
assistance.
Several of the members expressed
themselves in favor of turning the
proposition down. The matter was
finally referred to the Publicity Com
mittee which reported instanter rec
|ommending that the Association re-
ply that 1t was unable to render as
sistance. This report was unanimous
ly adopted.
Smith stated that several citizens
had asked that the Association ask
the Board Of Supervisors to have the
road to Puuloa improved on account
of the Federal work which was to be
done there. II was decided to send
such letter to the County dads.
President Smith also reported that
the directors of the Rapid Transit Co.
were seriously considering extending
their line to Puuloa.
Smith said that 1t had been sug-
gested that the Association receive
applications from local laborers de-
string work at Pearl Harbor. as in
this way a good labor census could
be obtained.
Paris said tho Y. NJ. c. A. already
had such bureau and 1t might be
well to- ask that organization to do
this work.
| o"itu Ndlleu dttehtioh " tuc luCt
that 1t would be of great Importance
to try to get the work done by the
Federal Government instead Of hav-
ing it let by contract.
Petrie called attention to the fact
that the Washington authorities
wanted the plantations to employ
white labor. and now II these labor
ers were taken away by the Govern
ment, at the request of the CONNER
cial bodies, there might be some con-
fiict. No action was taken.
1t was suggested that the local pa
|pers through the medium of their
mainland correspondence do all in
their power to influence the Portu-
guese laborers who have gone from
Hawaii to San Francisco, to return
to the Islands. and also to let II be
known that there will be 1900 labor
ers needed for the work at Pearl Har-
Dor. with the idea of bringing the
matter to the attention OF the unem-
ployed In San Francisco.

She Worked the Snake Cure.

Novel crimes are occasionally COM
mitted in Paris. as. for instance: An
old gypsy woman called on doctor
living In the Place Pierriere and asked
him to visit her daughter. who was
lying Ill in a caravan on the forttfica-
lions near by. Il have tried the ser.
pent cure" she said. but there was no
result. II you will allow me to pay
your fee In advance shall be sure you
will come"
The doctor consented. and the old
woman handed him $1O0 note. As
he was getting the change out Of the
safe she again mentioned the serpent
cure" and he asked her what it was.
This" she said. and, taking box
from under her rags. she turned half
Il dozen snakes out on the floor.
The doctor was startled and rushed
out of the room. When he returned
with a stick he found that the woman
and the snakes had vanished. while all
the money in his safe had also gone.
He still held the 500 note In his hand,
but this proved to be forgery.
