THE LURLINE
HERE MONDAY

After silence of nearly day. during
which there was some anxiety, the
steamship Lurline wirelessed in again
this morning, reporting that she is now
coming along finely, with excellent
weather and that she will arrive here
on Monday at about noon.
The Lurline states that she has
thirty-four passengers on board. This
is somewhat of surprise, inasmuch as
the steamer is towing the bark Mo
hican on this trip and was expected to
make slow time.
After the Mohican broke away in the
storm three days ago she was captured
again and new lines thrown out. AS
the Lurline says nothing of any dam
age to the bark it is presumed that
she weathered the trouble better than
had been anticipated here.

have abetted was his own house, and
that the offense purported to be charg-
ed against the defendants is barred by

ernment which ceased to exist at noon
on January 4, 1909. 1t was necessary
to make the appointments to secure the
public interests in the machinery and
livestock of the roads and fire protec-
tion services, etc.
In all but one or two instances the
appointment of subordinates were
made with the approval of the heads of
departments.
The officers and subordinates in ques-
tion were duly appointed and having
always been waiting and willing to
perform their duties are entitled to pay
for the respective services involved.
The resolution of the outgoing Board
of Supervisors of the County of Oahu
abolishing all offices and employments
under the county government was
passed against the protest of Frank
r. Harvey, "the sole Democratic mem
ber' of the Board. On information and
belief, Charles Hustace Jr., chairman
of that Board, being quoted as inform
ant, the ostensible purpose of that re-
solution was to leave clean slate
for the incoming administration OF
the City and County of Honolulu
whereas, it is alleged, the sole purpose
was that of defeating, blocking and
preventing the Mayor from making any
appointments under Section 146 anc
to aid, abet and assist the Republican
members of the municipal board, six
out Of seven, to usurp, absorb and con.
troll the appointments in question made
by the Mayor, and so to defeat anC
nullify the appointing power of the
Mayor under the Municipal Act.
In conclusion it is alleged that al
and singular the acts of the majority
OF the Board of Supervisors constitute
a connected and complete system
whereby the appointing power of the
Mayor and his power of veto intended
to be vested in him by the Municipal
Act and actually so vested in him by
said Act are nullified."

POWER AND POWER OF VETO

The return and answer of City and
County Treasurer R. H. Trent to the
writ of mandamus brought in the name
of Charles Coster, foreman of the mG-
nicipal stables, to compel the respon-
dent to pay a salary warrant of the
petitioner was filed before Judge Rob-
inson today by E. M. Watson, attor-
ney.
A hearing on the order to show cause
was set for O'Clock on Monday aft
ernOOn.
Treasurer Trent admits the general
facts alleged in the writ which are not
contrary to his reasons for refusing
to cash the warrant.
He denies that Mayor Fern read any
inaugural address, at the first meet,
ing of the Board of Supervisors on Jan
uary 4, perhaps meaning that there
was no meeting until after he had read
the address.
1t is denied by him that the motion
to organize the Board was carried by
the affirmative vote of all the members,
one of the members not voting there
for He says Mayor Fern refused to
put motions at that meeting, repeating
this allegation as to later meetings, on
other grounds than that they were
out of order. After reciting the his
tery-of Board meetings at which things
were done in spite of the Mayors re-
fusal to join in the proceedings, the
respondent goes on by way of further
return and answer to make allegations
of which some are here summarized:
Under Section 146 of the Municipal
Act (the one providing for appoint
ments in December without repeating
former provision of the statute re-
quiring the approval of the Board) the
Mayor appointed certain persons as
municipal officers and employees who
are named in a schedule attached to

Reform in Customs Service.

Secretary ,MacVeagh, discussing the
rehabilitation of the customs service in
progress as a result of the extensive
frauds discovered at the port of New
York says:
1t is clear that the influence of local
politics and politicians upon the Gus
toms service, has been most deleterious,
and has promoted that laxitv and low
tone which prepare and furnish an in
viting soil for dishonesty and fraud.
Unless the customs service can be re-
leased from the payment of political
debts and exactions, it will be impos
sible to have an honest service for any
length of time"
He says that the work of reorganiza
tion is mot complete not nearly COM
plete' but predicts that the necessary
prosecutions being made will lead in
the end to the establishment of an ad-
ministration of the customs service
that is fit for the government of a
great nation"
While purposely avoiding;fas as he says,
expression of a preference for any par
ticular plan or system, Mr.. MacVeagh
strongly urges the need of a retiring
pension for aged employees, stating that
the United States is the only nation
that has no general legal retiring pen
