W. q. IRWIN NOW THE OWNER
OF THE ISLAND OF LANAI

William G. Irwin is now the owner
in fee simple, as he has for some time
past been in effect, of the island of
Lanai. By deed filed for record with
Registrar Merriam yesterday, Charles
Gay, for the sum of one dollar in hand
to him paid, transfers to Mr.. Irwin the
entire island, together with all build
ings and improvements, all the sheep,
numbering about 1880 head, all the
cattle to the number of about ESQ, all
the horses, about 200 head, all other
property of every kind. Mr.. Gay NO
longer has any interest of any kind
in the island which he has worked SO
hard to make paying proposition and
upon which he has spent so many thou
sands of dollars.
The transfer of the title by sale for
one dollar is, according to the state
ment of w. G. Irwin, in accordance
with the agreement between himself
and Mr.. Gay at the time the latter
mortgaged the island to Mr.. Irwin. Mr..
Irwin states that at that time it was
agreed that if Mr.. Gay should not be
"o'N w e"hO UP thS hOIlSdSe, ne
should turn over the property in fee
simple instead of the mortgage being
obliged to go through the formality of
foreclosing.
/, Mr.. Gay came over from Lanai last
Sunday with his family and stopped
at the Young Hotel until last night,
when he left for Kauai on the Kinau.
He has left his former kingdom def
initely. 1t is understood that he put
about 100000 into Lanai trying to
make it paying proposition. In add
ton to this, there was mortgage on
the island amounting to $l45, 900 before
the territorial lands of Lanai were
transferred to Mr.. Gay during the
regime of George R. Carter as Governor
of Hawaii, and Mr.. Gay at that time
borrowed from w. G. Irwin under mort.
gage the additional sum of 1892, 2799S,
The Hawaiian gazette., 1909-09-10

making a total indebtedness of $751;
279.9S.
Mr.. Gay refused to be interviewed as
to his plans or to make any statement
concerning the Lanai matter. Mr..
Irwin, however, stated that his acquisi-
tion of the island by deed was mere
formality, as he had been the virtual
owner of Lanai for some time past.
In reply to a question as to,his plans
in regard to Lanai, Mr.. Irwin stated
that he was not decided yet He
might incorporate, or he might sell the
island. 81 have had two offers for
Lanai" he said, "but have accepted
neither yet. am leaving Hawaii next
month and it is possible that the mat
ter will be arranged before 1 go
away
Lanai has been the subject of much
discussion during recent years, particu-
larry at the time when Governor Carter
exchanged that part of the island then
belonging to the government to Mr..
Gay for propery located on Oahu.
Link McCandless tried to prevent the
exchange, bringing suit in the terri
torial courts to have the transfer multi
fled and declared void. The matter was
carried to the Supreme Court of the
United States and was only settled def
initely in favor of the government last
year. 1t is believed that this suit,
which so long delayed the final trans
fer, had much to do with the inability
of Mr.. Gay to make good on Lanai.
The northern end of the island 10 said
to be rapidly disintegrating, largely be-
cause the thousands of goats with
which Lanai is infested have destroyed
the shrubbery and trees and rendered
much of the island a barren waste
with nothing to protect it from the
eroding action of the trade winds
which sweep over it unimpeded.
Mr.. Irwin says that he advanced
more money than the island is worth
and gave Mr.. Gay two or three years
to make good before taking over the
mortgaged property himself.

They were unable to find name for

SUPERVISORS
MUST co SLOW

During the next five months the
Board of Supervisors will have to haul
in sail. The report of the ways and
means committee, submitted yesterday
morning at the special session of the
board, shows that for the six months
beginning August l, the county's reve-
nue. is reduced $ll65.97 month. The
total revenue available monthly for the
six months beginning August l is $685.,
756.25, against $54 ,922.22 monthly dur
ing the preceding half year. The eX-
penditures during the month of July
totalled $5S,9S9.62, an excess of
$4O67.4O over the allotted share of the
appropriation.
There is margin of $4,000 allowed
for in the appropriation bill, but at the
present rate of expenditure, this will
all be wiped out long before the end
of the fiscal year. In its report, the
committee urges upon the board the
necessity for cutting down expenses,
calling attention to the fact that what
ever extra money may be received from
the Territory, will be required to carry
out the belt road project, and that prac-
general current expenses.
The road committee, at the request
of the County Engineer, reported in
favor of the employing of a competent
inspector to keep track of the work on
Kaluanui Beach road, which is to be
done by private contract. 1t will be
the duty of the inspector to see that
no shoddy work is done, and that the
contractors live up to the specifications
The committee recommended that the
pay of the inspector be fixed at So
day. The board approved the report
and the inspector will be duly ap.
pointed.
Payrolls for road laborers, both in
the city and the outside districts, were
pissed.

NO MAYOR IN
HONOLULU NOW
(TrOm wednesday, s Advertiser.l

NrEoIu wednesday, AuNerLlser.l
Honolulu is mayorless. Lying on the
desk of the city's chief executive is n
resolution, passed by the Board of Su-
pervisors. appropriating about $4,000
to reimburse the Chinese tenants, liv-
ing along the right-of.way of the pro-
posed Kaluanu Beach road, for the
cost of moving their houses and thresh-
ing floors All that the resolution
needs is the signature of Mayor, but
Mayor there is none.
The resolution was placed on the
Mayors desk yesterday morning, but
in the hurry of departing for Hawaii
with the Congressional party, His Hon
or overlooked it and consequently the
resolution is without executive sigma
ture To be sure, in ten days the
resolution will become law without the
| Mayors signature. but in the meantime
the Kaluanui Beach deal is tied up.
The whole difficulty arises from the
fact that the trainers of the charter
failed to make provision for an act
ing Mayor, during the absence of the
cits's chief executive. The Board of
Supervisors may elect a chairman, who
shall have authority to call meetings
and exercise like functions, but the
charter givs him no power to sign or
dinances or other official documents.
When the Mayor announced that he
would accompany the Congressional
party on its Hawaii trip, Secretary
Rivenburgh hailed him to his Office and
began studying the charter. Would
he be Mayor during the absence of the
genial Joseph' Page after page he of
the pretty mustache turned over; it
was Useless.
Yesterday morning Deputy County
Attorney Milverton was appealed to.
No, he was sorry, but he could not dig
up any legal authority for appointing
temporary Mayor. The Kaluanui
Beach resolution would have to wait
ten days and become law without
flowing signature. Too bad, but no
help for it.
Not only is there no provision for
an acting Mayor during the temporary
absence of the chief executive, but
J there is no provision for the appoint
ment of such an official in case the
incumbent of the city's most dignified
Office should die. Pending the calling
of special election, the counting of
the votes, and the possible contest and
legal proceedings that might follow,
there would be nothing doing in the
Mayor line.
With the Territory the Secretary be-
comes Acting Governor in the absence
J of His Excellency. In other cities
there is provision made for the nam
ing of an acting executive. The San
Francisco charter, on which the local
tumble was modelled, has such see
tion but the fathers of Honolulu q
masterpiece carefully cut out that Sec
tion. Ergo, no Mayor.
Secretary Rivenburgh is holding
down the lid in very dignified man
ner, but his signature is nil when it
comes to papers Of state. He is q
beautiful fgurehead, nothing more.

UNs|GHTLY FENCE IS
TO Be TORN DOWN

The unsightly fence that extends out
into Fort street, just mauka of Hotel,
is to come down. Several months ago
permission was given for the erection
of the fence, to protect the public from
falling bricks while the new building
is going up. Work on the building has
been more or less delayed, and in the
mean time the sidewalk has been block
ed and traffic on the street has been
seriously impeded.
Chairman Quinn yesterday took the
matter up with Contractor Ouderkirk,
and the latter readily agreed to remove
the fence. The sidewalk has been torn
up to make way for new one, but
ouderkirk will lay boardwalk to serve
temporarily.

this morning mob OF 200 men
lynched Jesse West. Joseph Allen. 3.
Is. Burrell and Joseph Is. Miller, he'll.
In the county jail for the murder OF
former United States Marshal A. A.

the rafters. The mob quietly dis
persed and at daylight the bodies
were discovered
West and Allen arc reputed % have
been millionaires and were cattlemen
from Canadian City. They were ac-
cused OF hiring Miller To Kill BCbbitt
The feud was one growing out Cf cat
tie transactions.
The mob surrounded the Jail quietly
Ten leaders whose faces were par
TALLY muffied, entered the Jail the
door OF which was not locked. Jailer
Goen was I'm bed. Bob Nestor, a
deputy sheriff. saw the men and pulled
revolver. A half dozen men spran6
at him and he was thrown to the floor
and disarmed Before he could move
Goen was pinned To the bed.
A member OF the mob produced t
wire and the jailers hands were tiet
behind his back The keys were
taken from the jailer and without a
word spoken the mob leaders entered
the corridor.
Miller heard the mob coming. His
screams awakened the others and the
Jail in a moment was place OF con-
fusion. The masked men worked
silently They took the four men
from their cells West was the only
one who showed fight. He struggled
with the mob, but was overpcwered
in few minutes. Miller was the cool
est. He walked quietly out or his Gel.
and submitted 10 the mob as they
tied his hands.
"All right, boys" said one OF the
masked men. II was the first word
that had been spoken. Then the men
were led from the jail, West cUrsing
and lighting every inch, the others
going quietly.
Across the alley from the Jail is a
vacant barn. The mob leaders made
directly for the building. The rest OF
the mob was waiting beside the door
and as silently as the leaders.

Knotted the ropes around the necks
OF their prisoners one after the other.
In the same silent order the ropes

barn. drawn taut, and the men allowei
to swing to their deaths.
When the last man was swinging
in the air the leader turned and
silently pointed toward the door. The
crowd went out, dispersed and the
members went to their homes.
An investigation Is in progress to-
day. but no arrests have been made

identify the men who tied them
The feeling against the alleged muir
derers has been very strong. Bobbitt
was we'll known and very popular. His
death aroused storm OF Indignation
and trouble had threatened since.
