KAPPA PAYING
GOOD RENTALS
Lands Are Bringing in Ten
Times as Much as
Formerly.

''The Kappa lands alone, even though
all the eanfields are lying falIow, are
bringing in rentals ten times as much
today as they brought when the cane
lands were under lease to the planta-
tion,' is the statement that was made
yesterday by Governor Frear. And
this notwithstanding the fact that
large number of homesteads have been
disposed of.
"'The cane lands are lying fallow,
which is good, as they were consider
ably run down, having been under con-
slant cultivation for thirty years. -
This, perhaps, explains why the Gov
ernor has been in no hurry to settle up
the Kappa question.
But II is understood that the matter
of the disposition of the Kappa lands
is nearing an end and that definite
steps viii he taken in the near future.
The Governor stated that he had been
doing something in the matter while he
was on Kauai.

LAWMAKERS IN
THE REAL SWIM
National Representatives Show
Manly Forms at
Waikiki.
THE ENTIRE coNGR

Constituents of the dignifed mem
bers of the Congressional party would
hardly have recognized their represen-
tatives in the surf of the crescent
shaped beach at Waikiki yesterday af
ternoon, but the outing in the ocean
gave Honolulans a splendid oppor
tunity TO gaze upon them attired in
abbreviated bathing suits and wearing
smiles of contentment, for all pro-
claimed it the finest swim they had
ever had in their lives. To this extent,
at least, they are united in the belief
that the annexation of the islands has
not been mistake.
Many of the members were not GER
tain as to just what size suits they re-
quired, for, after having sat long and
weary hours in the House of Represen-
tatives listening to tedious debates on
the tariff while the thermometer of
Washington registered 9S and 100 in
the shade, their usual weight has be-
come reduced. In fact. after Represen-
tative George w. Taylor of Alabama
came out of the water and was discuss
ing matters with Captain Cashier, con-
structing quartermaster of the army,
he announced that this was the first
time he had ever worn suspenders with
a bathing suit. His remark was occa-
stoned by one made by Captain Cast
ner, who complained of the needful
moments he was required to waste in
afFxing his insignia of office to his uni
form. Thereupon, Representative Scott
of Kansas remarked that in his younger
days, just after ne left college and had
acquired more than one suit of clothes,
he determined that he would not lose
so much time changing his suspenders
from one pair of trousers to another,

ANOTHER POST
FOR kAHAU|k|
Plan on Foot ContempIates the
Location of a Second
Garrison.

The Promotion Committee is work
ing for another military post on Ka-
hauiki reservation. Members of the
committee have been busy with the
project for some time, and they be-
lieve that the plan is feasible.
W. H Hogs is the moving spirit in
the matter, and he is boosting the
project for all If is worth. He has
taken the matter up with several prom
inent men and he has promises of
plenty of support in putting the
scheme into operation.
The idea. as advanced, is to make
Kahauiki as important a post as Lei
lehua viii be, when the plans of the
War Department regarding that reser-
walton have been carried ont. The
project eontemplates the expansion of
Fort Shafter into a regimental post,
and then the location of a second post,
of equal size, on another part of the
reservation.

HEAVY DEFICIT
IS ESTIMATED
Higher Wage Association Wants
Nearly Ten Thousand
Dollars More.
Perkins Photo.

Nine thousand two hundred and sew
enteen dollars the Higher Wage Asso-
citation would like, supposedly that it
may close up its books. An itemized
statement of all expenses incurred
since the strike was declared has been
mailed to the other islands : The ae-
count shows that. $27 ,522.65 mas been
expended. that there is deficit of
$31730 in the account up to August
4. and that the estimated expenses
since that date have been $4,000.
The largest Individual item on the
account is $16,594.50 for cooking ex-
penses up to August 4. The next
ltrgest item is 1861 for lawsuit ex-
penses. which would indicate that At
torney Lightfoot was not prompted by
pure philanthropy in taking up the
eases cf the japanese charged with
various offenses in connection with the
strike
There are two items of particular
interest: one of $162425 for miseel-
laneous expenses, and one of $1041.40
for petty expenses. The man who made
ont the account did not think 1T worth
while to go into particulars concern
ing these items.
Another interesting item is $930.55
for medicines and physicians bills. As
the Higher Wage people themselves
announced, during the early days of
the strike, that japanese doctors of
he city had volunteered their services
free of charge it is supposed that this
unev went into the till of Mr.. Ma
,;no Higginbotham drug store.
Merchandise cost $99S.30. This is
in addition to the $16,594.50 paid out
for cooking expenses.
The total receipts are given as ST.
205.35, which leaves a red letter
balance of $317.30.
The expenses after the 4th instant
are only estimated, but that estimate
allots $500 for food for 1000 men for
ten DAYS. This is the first time that
a claim has been made that any such
number of men received aid after Au-
gust 4. For aiding sick people, $500
more is put down, probably for Ma
kino Higginbotham drug store.

In the name of the people of the
Territory of Hawaii, Governor Walter
f. Frear welcomed the members of the
Congressional party to Honolulu yester-
day morning aboard the Pacific Mail
s. s. Siberia.
The greeting was reeiproeated, and
there was the most friendly feeling on
the part of the distinguished guests,
who had had fine voyage and now
wanted to see the mountains and val
leys of the Hawaiian Islands, of which
they had heard so much.
After the exchange of courtesies the
Congressman declared the trip was
taken for serious consideration of the
needs of Hawaii. They assured the
Islanders that the trip was not a junket,
but preparation for legislative activity.
Their first impressions of the IslaAas
were most pleasing, for, as they came
up on deck before Diamond Head had
been rounded, they gazed on green hills,
glistening under mantle of dew, and
then Honolulu slowly came into view,
a picture of tropical loneliness.
That they came here for serious bust
ness was shown in the questions direct
ed to the members OF the local commit
tees. Their first questions concerned
labor matters; next, land policies; then
the diversity of island agricultural de-
velopment, concluding with military,
naval and immigration interrogatories.
There was much that the Congressman
learned yesterday, and today their tour
of the city and outlying sections will
give them the lay of the land, and then
will come suggestions from local people
