Jacksoni Miss March6.-( Especial lone changes that has taken place in this city in some time occurred yesterday when MT. B. F. Ward. Jr.. formerly editor of the Winona Times. took over the Farm CTS Union Advocate, the official organ of the Farmers union in this state. The Advocate has been running very success fully the past two or three years as an independent venture, being the property of private individuals, but printed in the interest of the union and sent only to those who subscribed. The state conven- ton of the union held here in January indorsed the idea of sending the paper to every member of the union, and in or der to do that raised the annual dues from 6S cents to FLO. This proposition was submitted to the membership to be voted on, and carried.
 The price paid for the property is not given out, but 1t was fixed by three ap- praisers selected by those interested. MT. Ward is a newspaper man of experience, a vigorous writer and will no doubt maKe a success in his new field.

pany and the Kahuku Plantation Com
pany. The question of tax liability on
land under lease to the kahuku plan,
tation will not be carried into the
courts. an agreement being filed yester-
day which names j. f. Brown. Willard
Brown and J. F. Morgan as the arbi-
traitors. Their decision will be filed in
the Circuit Court as Judgment and
will be subject to legal exception and
appeal.
The question involved is shown in the
! agreement to be as follows: B. F. Dill
bingham leased Kahuku land from
James Campbell and portion of it was
subleased by him to James Castle. The
Oahu Railway & Land Company then
received from Dillingham; his interest in
the first lease and James Castle made
a conveyance of his rights in the lease
to the Kahuku Plantation Company.
The terms Of the lease and subleases
and assignment show that the lessee
and assignee agreed to pay the tax on
the leasehold during the terms of the
| lease At the time the plantation re-
ceived the land it was used only for
grazing pasturage but it is now in sugar
| to paying that tax the Kahuku Plan
tation Company is paying a portion of
! the tax assessed to the railroad corpora.
| ton for the value of its leasehold to
the plantation. The contention of the
Oahu Railway and Land Company is
that the proportion of the tax on the
realty ought to be paid by the Kahuku
| Plantation Company based upon the
/ IL, : h. lo,, g
er value than pasture land
The Kahuku Plantation Company be-
lieves that it only ought to be called
upon to pay its equal share of the tax
| assessed against the Campbell estate,
such share being determined on the
| basis of the proportion which its lease
| from the Oahu Railway and Land Com
pany bears to the entire land on which
| the tax is assessed.

MANDAMUS CASE
NOW IN COURT
kaIauokaIani Attempts to Shed
Light on the First
Session.

When did the Board of Supervisors
of the City and County of Honolulu
become living, pulsing body within
the meaning of the law, and what did
they do when they did it and how did
they do it? That IS about as near to
an ineligible summary as can be drawn
of the question involved in the pro-
ceedings that occurred in Judge Robin
son s department of the Circuit Court
yesterday afternoon in the mandamus
suit instituted against City and County
Treasurer Trent by Charles COster in
an effort to compel payment Of his sal
airy warrant. There promises to be at
least one undisputed event that oc-
CURED on January last, and it is that
the hour of II clock noon came around
as usual. But all the other things that
befell on this Hateful day of Honolulu s
city fathers is obscured in doubt and
contention. Even Clerk KaIauokaIani S
laborious minutes were held up to scorn
and criticism in court yesterday. and
not even the Supervisors themselves
can swear unanimously that Hizzoner,
Mayor Fern, was or was not clean
shaven when he read his inaugural ad-
dress,

according to the reply to the return
and answer to the alternative writ of
mandamus that was filed by Attorneys
Mi1verton and Cathcart yesterday. The
document is lengthy. and its concluding
indictment of Mayor Fern is as fol
lows:
Petitioner alleges that all of the
acts and proceedings of the said Board
of Supervisors Of the City and County
of Honolulu are set out in said petit
ton for an alternative writ of man
damus, said alternative writ of man
damns and the return and answer of
the said respondent to the same were
done in an endeavor to carry out the
will and desire of the people of the
Territory of Hawaii, as expressed in
an act by the Legislature of the Ter
ritory of Hawaii, incorporating the
City and County of Honolulu, known as
the Municipal Act, and with the hon
est endeavOr to carry on the govern
ment of the City and County of Homo
! lulu strictly in accord with the provi-
sions of said Municipal Act, and not
with any intent or desire upon the part
| of said board to deprive said Mayor
of any of the duties, privileges or
| powers granted to him by said Munich
pal Act. Petitioner further alleges in
this behalf that every and all acts of
the Board of Supervisors of the CITY
and County of Honolulu, which inter
i fered or tended to interfere with anv
action or attempted action on the part
of said Mayor were done in an at.
tempt to prevent said Mayor from ar.
bitrarily, illegally and without author
lty of law, usurping powers and func
tlons not granted to him directly OF
indirectly by said Municipal Act.

The city officials practically adj
JOurned to the courthouse in a body
yesterday afternoon at two clock and

almost proved that Clerk Kalauokalani
was not exactly certain whether the
Supervisors said "present in respond
ing to the rollcall or simply "aye'
City and County Clerk Kalauokalani
was placed upon the stand by Attorney
Fred w Milverton with the object of
introducing in evidence the minutes of
the meeting of the Supervisors on Jan
uary 4. Attorney w. A. Kinney imme-
diately entered an objection to Milver-
ton S method of establishing the official
and lawful birth of the Board of Super
visors. Milverton contended that the
City and County Act was self-operative
and that no call of the Mayor or other
action was needed to supplement the
arrival of noon on January last and
the gathering of the Supervisors to
give them legal recognition as the Su-
pervisors of the City and County of
Honolulu.
Attorney Kinney volleyed questions
at Clerk Kalauoka1ani until that of
fetal was slightly dazed and was not
absolutely sure of anything except that
the Supervisors did hold a meeting on
the day in question. Attorney Kinney
referred to the minutes of the initial
meeting as ''fairy tales,' and observ.
ed that the minutes were not any more
dom notes on a piece of 'fshln

The City and County Clerk retained
| vivid impression of one incident that

! ing the roll all answered to being pres

take ''when he found he was there.

testimony. When Attorney Milvertor
then called Logan to the stand, Attor
ney Kinney objected, and insisted thai
some Supervisor who did not have the
educative influence of the discussion
should be called instead of a city
father who had unconsciously infringeC
upon a rule of the court. Judge Rob
