SUPERVISORS
Do BUSINESS
WITHOUT MAYOR
(Continued from Page One.)

ton carried unanimously. Its legal
aspect did not differ from various pre-
ceding ones the mayor had refused to
put.
After the reading OF the minutes OF
the meeting of January Fern pro-
tested against their approval. He stat
ed especially that they failed to give
in proper form his call of the special
meeting of the day before. There
were other errors, he thought, but he
wanted time to state his views and
asked as a matter of courtesy that
the approval of the minutes be, post
poned
Quinn said that the board did not
want to appear discourteous but that
every member recollected what the
minutes set forth. and he insisted upon
approval. Mcclellan alone voted no.
Mayor Fern read a few remarks,
hoping for harmony, and offered his
list of standing committees. He also
presented a letter to the county at
torney, asking for an opinion on the
Municipal Act questions at issue.
Logan moved that the mayors list
of committees be laid on the table.
lie said that even If he conceded the
mayors right to appoint committees
he would object to the list, for the
mayors committees had only two
members each and this was an I'M
heard OF plan.
Fern declined to put the motion, de-
claring it out of order.
He declined also to put an appeal.
Logan remarked that the mayors
refusal to put an appeal from his
ruling was tantamount to refusal to
do business with the Board. He call
ed attention to the rule allowing any
member to put a motion if the chair
man refused to do so three times, and
said he would demand that his mo-
ton be put.
The mayor and his secretary whis-
pered, and the mayor refused.
Illu6S Logan oeliu' NhA' 49,
yor, 1 respectfully demand that the
motion be put" and three times Fern
refused
Then the motion to override the ma
yor's ruling was put and carried. SINH
lar action was taken as to the original
motion to lay the mayors list Of COM
mittees on the table.
This was the procedure with prac-
tically all the business Of the even
ing. The proceedings Of the meeting
of the day before were formally rati-
fled and in some cases repeated.
A change came when at the end Of
these disputed matters Supervisor Lo-
gan offered a resolution of general
business, appropriating money for the
next current fiscal period. He ex-
planned that it was based on the work
of the last period. It nominally ran
over the estimated income for the six
months to the extent of $1,5SS, but it
had been very conservatively drawn.
Aylett seconded the motion, and
Fern, after more consultation with his
secretary, refused to put it.
The mayor was taking a new posi-
ton here, refusing to take part in or
binary business at a regular meeting,

Superintendent of Public Works
Marston Campbell has received a pc
tition from thirty residents of Aud
Lane, which runs off King street In
PaIama, asking that pipes be laid on
this thoroughfare in order that they
may connect with be- city water
mains. Under the present circum-
stances, with no money available for
the purpose. this cannot be done, but
it is hoped that funds for this work
will be obtained from the coming leg
islature. The request IS that the
mains be laid as far up Aud Lane
as the All In rice mill.

the roads known as cantoniers, and
messengers, such as you have attempt
ed to appoint.
In reference to the adoption of
rules by the Board of Supervisors OF
the City and County OF Honolulu up
on which you ask my advice, l would
say that, | believe the Board had
right to adopt the same on motion
and that they do not constitute a re-
solution within the meaning of the
provisions of Section 20; nor do the
provisions of such rules, authorizing
the COMMITTEES to engage employees,
involve the disposition of public prop
erty or the expenditure OF public
money within the meaning of Sec
ton II. Any other construction
would require every laborer to be en-
ployed by resolution or ordinances.
The meeting held at the hour OF
non on Monday, the 4th day of jan
uary, 1909, was meeting undoubtedly
contemplated by the provisions of the
charter. Such provisions require all
the members of the Board OF Super
visors to take Office at that time. The
taking of Office does not consist in
meeting in an Assembly room, sitting
down in chairs around the table, greet
ing the Mayor and receiving his in
augral address, but means the assem-
bling together, a showing of election
and of qualification under the law and
organization as body. One essential
of organization is the adoption OF
rules. l do not consider that the
meeting was a special meeting call
ed by you as you seem to assume in
your letter, but the meeting was one
requiring no call because contemplated
by the Charter.
THE executive and appointive pow
ers of the Mayor are no greater than
defined by law, and know of no law
that confers upon the Mayor OF the
City and County of Honolulu the pow
er to Engage men and direct their
work Accordingly the rules Of the
Board OF Supervisors cannot infringe
upon a power not conferred upon you.
Il am inclined to believe that the
action of the Board of Supervisors OF
the City and County of Honolulu con-
corning certain offices, position, etc,
created by the Board Of Supervisors
of the County of Oahu was valid.
"In reference to your doubt Of the
validity of certain actions of the board
as affecting the expenditure of money,
l would say that the Board of Super
yisors has inherent as well as express
power to prescribe rules and regula-
tions governing its action. -"
IF there was doubt as to the power
Of the Board of Supervisors to adopt
rules governing it's actions and pres
cribing the duties of the various com
mittees at the meeting of January
the 4th, yet the readoption Of such
rules at the meeting Of January 9th
would cure any legal defect. 1t IL
true the presiding officer refused Il
put some motions made and seconded
by members of the Board of Super
vlsors and that thereupon the same
were carried on the question being pu

WHAT JUDGE QUARLES
TOLD THE JAPANESE

Editor Adyertiser.-In your issue of
this morning appears what purports TO
statement of an interview with
me, published IN d japanese newspaper.
| am not correctly reported, or, if so,
then translation from the japanese
paper is incorrect.
A representative of the paper asked
my opinion Of the merits of a demand
of the laborers for an increase TO So. so
per month.
My reply was in writing and in two
sentences, as follows:
In view of the fact that the sugar
plantations are paying large dividends,
the demands of the laborers that they
be paid $3.50 per month seems reason
able | believe that labor should have
a just proportion of the wealth it
Creates
Neither myself, nor any one related
to me, is financially interested IN this
question. In answering the question
asked me, MY aim was to answer it
from dlSinterested standpoint. from
an equitable view, and if the question
had been asked me by the Planters AS
ISOLATION the answer would have been
the same. 1t was only my opinion,
which, owing to the fact that | have
not made a careful study of conditions,
was guardedly, but truthfully, expressed
as to NV convictions. But, slight addi-
lions and some little garnishment, and
the meager opinion which was express
ed can readily be construed into hos
t1llty to the planters contrary to the
facts.
Ex-Governor Carter, in his address
before the Mohonk Peace Conference.
expressed sentiments and views of con-
d1tllons here in ereditable way in the
following words:
Some of us in Hawaii believe that
the principles underlying our form of
government are still sound and will
prove 1t superior to any other, if we
but keep them in mind and live up to
them. That the golden rule works If
respective of color and race; that cor
porations can have souls, if the diree-
tors and trustees will but develop them:
that there is no danger from the large
number of japanese that have come to
Hawaii since annexation, except that
which we create by suggestion, by our
own fear, by our expressions of con
tempt or alsapproval. =
His thought and mine, differently
worded, is that all should have fair
treatment and justice. No good citizen
or honest man will encourage strife or
violence, and it is to be feared that
suggestion, SO oft repeated, may bring
HARM
Respectfully,
R. P. QUARLEs.

THE PLACE OF
MOURNING
a Sketch by EtheIinda schaefer
Castle.

A dreadful stiffness rested upon the
house Of the dead Princess. The dense
FOREST oil eoeoanut palms and sprawling
oanyans, stretching up to the very
aooF' showed one motionless bulk in
the night. The house itself was closed
and absolutely dark, save for one
lighted window, behind which sat the
quiet watchers of the dead.
Inc silence remained undisturbed
until the night had far advanced
Then from the forest came A hushea
murmnr, as of approaching THRONES.
ana the soft sound of MANY naked feet
upon heavy dust. The body of the
Prineess was not yet cold, but already
the frenzled grief at her loss had sum
moned her people together.
A sudden, wailing cry, sharp. pro-
lohged, broke out upon the night. 1t
was such a cry as brought those pale
raced watchers to their feet beside the
bier. Louder and louder it rang
through the darkness, seeming to carry
III ITS single strength the anguish Of
an entire people. Others followed it
heree, dlstinet-until the great forest
surged with the blended grief of the
mourning. The piercing screams of
peacocks, who lift their voices always
when the dead is near, joined in the
tumult
As the night drew to a close and
the sky became light, gradually the
voices fell more and more into silence;
finally, only single plaintive cries sound
ed from a distance The last mourners
withdrew; and when dawn came, no
yestige of the gathering remained, save
for the marks of thousand feet upoa
the dust.-Read on Authors Evening.
