NEW BOAT NOT
YET ASSURED
Big Firms Comforting Over the
Steamship Situation Are
Not Decided.

A proposition has been made by the
directors of Alexander & Baldwin and
the InterIsland Steam Navigation Com
pany to Captain Matson and other Coast
stockholders of the Matson steamship
company to lay down another steamer
for the San Francisco honolulu run, to
meet the increased tourist business.
1t is understood that Alexander &
Baldwin figured on at least 100000
being raised by three corporations here
toward the building of the steamer, the
firm mentioned to take a quarter of a
million dollars in it. 1t is also under
stood that the InterIsland people were
willing to take about $200,0 900 of stock.
Brewer & Co., it is stated, are not quite
ready to give an answer, as they are
just now engaged in completing negoti-
ations for the merger of their corpora
ton with W. G.. Irwin & Co. Owing
to the fact that the merger absorbs
the steamship business of the Oceanic
company at this port, and the fact
that the detailed plans are not yet
known, and will not be until Faxon
Bishop returns about November II, the
Brewer people are undecided.
So far no answer has come from
Captain Matson in regard to the pro-
posed new steamer, and it is also under
stood that he has not been able to
arrive at q favorable conclusion,
despite the arguments favoring the

\ "There seems to be still some mis-
understanding among certain of the
public of Honolulu as to the exact posi-
ton Of the telephone company in its
manner of proceeding to work to lay
the conduit in the public streets" said
A. Lewis Jr, attorney for the company,
yesterday. The impression conveyed Is
that the telephone company is proceed
ing in violation of the law or as though
above the law. In order to correct this
impression it should be stated that Or
dinance No. Is, approved by the Mayor
on October %, 1909, has forced the COM
pany from legal standpoint to proceed
as it is at present.
"Section of the ordinance provides
that in case any corporation desires to
dig up or disturb the public highways
for the purpose of laying underground
wires for any telephone system, the
application for a permit so to do shall
be made direct to the board Of super
visors, and as condition to the grant
ing of such permit. the board of super
yisors has the right TO require such
corporation to furnish the city and

DEAD" MAN ONLY
POWDER-BURNED
Arrested at Pearl City for Shooting
at Portuguese.

During carouse last evening in the
house of Peter Andrews, at Pearl City,
when considerable dago red is reported
to have been consumed, row was
started. ending with Peter reaching
for revolver and firing it point
blank at Portuguese named Auguste.
Fortunately for the latter, the aim was
wild and the bullet sped past hun, but
the powder burned his cheek.
That ended the feast, and there was
a hasty exit from the house. Domingo
Ferreira, the jockey, was riding on the
road and mis- horse and a man came
in collision. The man proved to be
one of the guests running for the po-
lice. He excitedly stated that man
was dead at Andrews place and had
been shot straight through the heart.
Ferreira galloped to the house and
searched for the dead man. After
Andrews was arrested by the jailer az

QUINN HAS An
AUTO RATE BILL
SUBMITS RATE OF CHARGES
Supervisors Agree to Contract
for Building Kahana Part
of the Belt Road.
SUBMITS RATE OF CHARGES

If Supervisor Jim Quinn has his way,
Honolulu is soon to have a carefully
regulated hack and automobile ordi-
nance. The chairman of the road com
mittee has always considered it his spe
cial duty to look after traffic regula-
tions and last night he presented his
latest ordinance. which is to further
regulate the carrying of passengers by
vehicles for hire. regulating fares and
providing punishments.
The hack and automobile fares from
the town proper to all spots of interest
or to which travel is frequent are pro-
vided for with minute care. During
the wee small hours they viii be allow
ed to charge double the rates provided
which are, in part, as follows:
For one mile, hacks p cents and
autos S100: two miles. 80 cents and
50; four miles. 50 and SO; TO Kapiolani
Park. $50 and 80: to the Pail, - and
81: the Punchbowl drive, SO and Sc;
tn Moanaiua polo grounds, - aud 50;
Diamond Head and return, 81 and 50;
Mauoa Valley. 81 and s.; for funerals,
81 and - per hour.
These are all maximum figures and
incidentally they are 2 raise in all
hack rates while the automobile rates
remain the same. Quinn explained that
i was not fair to make the hacks go
all the way ont 10 Kaimuki for a dollar
and he gave figures to show that the
auto owners wouldn I make as much on
these figures as the dear public might
think.

WHAT THE CITY
FATHERS WANT
DEFINITE PROPOSALS MADE
SuperWSoriaI Committee Submits
Four Propositions to the
Telephone Company.

The FIVE supervisors who have buck
ed the telephone agreement between
the city and the Mutual Telephone
Company last night dug a hole by
which they might get out of the rather
embarrassing position they hold in the
eyes of those of the citizens who are
n hurry for an adequate telephone
system.
They have drawn up "what they
want from the telephone company. " as
requested to at conference earlier
in the afternoon, and in the evening
presented four propositions they are
willing the city should consider. This
is what they are:
First-The board to pay the com
pany Sl36 per annum for the term of
the charter (twenty-seven years. as
rental on a basis of 1900 feet, rent
to be waived by the company for one
year and fees to be waived by the city
for one year.
Second-The board to pay ifteen
cents per duet foot to the eompaay for
the use of its conduits. and the COM
pany not to be exempt from the In
spection fees.
Third-The company to furnish free
ducts to the city and county, ,,nd in
return to be exempt from all lnspec-
ton fees for the space of twenty seven
years, the term of its charter.
Fourth-The board to pay the com
pany ten cents per lineal foot, the
company to be exempt from an inspec.
ton fees for the term of one year.
The, merchants association has be.
come the arbitrator between the dead.
locked parties, and on its success de,
ponds the hopes of Honolulu for a
decent system within q reasonable
time. These four propositions are tht
result of the conference held in tn,
afternoon between the beard and ;
committee from the merchants associ
alton, consisting of George w. Smitl
and Richard H. Trent.
After a general discussion of the
status of the case at present, it was
decided on motion of Quinn that the
five supervisors, Aylett, Kane, Cox, Me
Clellan and AHA, should be named as
committee with the Mayor to present
their idea of a satisfactory compromise
When this was presented last night
AHA voted no on the introduction of
the four proposals as he did not know
he had been named on the special com
mittee and was not willing to vote with
his fellow maleontents under the cir
cumstances.
1t was some time before the proposals
actually came to the question, vague
arguments being advanced pro and con,
in which everybody got mixed up. When
it finally came to a vote, Logan passed
the buck and waited to see what the
others said. He stated that be had

SLiSHED AND
GUT WITH RAZOR
CavaIryman Carves a Comrade
in Spelling Dispute-Both
Were Prisoners.

Because they could not agree how a
word should be spelled, one of the cav
alrymen of Leilehua carved another
one with a razor, cutting him so Sc
verely that the doctors despaired of
ever closing the many gaping wounds
and stopping the flow of blood. Fraw-
ley and Merritt, of Troop K, were the
principals in the row, the former be-
ing now in the camp hospital and the
latter under guard awaiting the re
covery of his victim before facing
trial on probable attempt at murder.
At the time of the assault both men
were prisoners in the st0ckade. Fraw-
ley was writing a letter, putting his
best work into the epistle, while Mer-
rift sat beside him making gliding re-
marks about his penmanship and his
spelling Finally the letter-writer an
nounced his intention of punching Mer-
rift s head if the latter persisted
Merritt sulked away to his bunk,
then, without warning, sprung at Fraw
ley, an open razor in his hand. Be
fore Frawley could guard himself he
had been slashed three or four times.
and before help could reach him he
had been cut. slashed and crisscrossed
by the razor blade. Merritt seemed to
grow crazy at the sight Of the blood,
and continued to hack and slash long
after his man had fallen, faint with
the loss of blood and the pain of the
wounds.
The post surgeons worked for some
hours in stitching up the wounds, and
it was the opinion that Frawley could
not survive such a cutting up. He
has. however, and is now on fair way
