that he was not responsible for the
many strange things he did i'm the last
years of his strenuous life. The peo-
pie who remain have covered his life
with broad mantle Of charity, and all
factions of whatsoever sort revere his
memory, and hold his name in affec-
tionate regard.
At the present time there are five
factions struggling for the control OF
Zion City. OF these there are two that
assume prominent proportions. One
OF these is headed by Wilbur Glenn
.Voliva, who styles himself the success
sor to John Alexander Dowie, the gen
eral overseer of the Christian Catholic
church in Zion. The other large fac
tion is headed by Daniel Bryant who
does not aspire to any high office, but
is the head and the leader of the liber'
al faction. John A. Lewis, who has
small following, is the one to whom
Dowie willed his high Office before he
died. John Taylor, who lives in Shiloh
House, the mansion once owned and
inhabited by Dowie and his family, has
a following of the old radical Dowie-
ties, and the Parbamites, who are those
people who withdrew into little camp

issued the following manifesto in his
paper

"To the Devil and his imps, the back

Kane Makes Much Talk at
the. Meeting of the
Supervisors.

Supervisor Kane was the storm cen
ter of interest at the meeting of the
Board of Supervisors last evening, for
he seemed to be an insurgent on almost
all important measures that came up,
particularly in regard to the proposed
survey for the new road in Koolau and
the question of the proper way to adj
dress official communications. Kane
seemed to be in sulky mood and de-
claimed like graduate of backwoods
school. His ideas were confused on
nearly all matters and he received very
little sympathy from his co-members of
the board
When the board was about to adj
journ Kane rose and swung his arms,
and, looking straight at City Engineer
Gere, said that people had come to him
to inquire whether the city engineer
had been asked by the board to make
surveys for the proposed road.
But, - shouted Kane, 1--WE want to
know whether the property owners had
agreed to this road As a member OF
this board | don t wish to go into any
unnecessary expense. We appropriated

HIGGINS BROTHERS HAVE
MONEY AWAITING THEM

There Is money waiting back in
Brooklyn for Patrick Higgins of Homo
lulu, engineer, and for his brother
James, who also left his Brooklyn
home to come to Honolulu, and there
is also another brother, Hugh Higgins,
waiting in Brooklyn for news of the
two whom he has not seen nor heard
from for many long years.
Brother Hugh has written to the
Governor in an effort to locate brothers
home in Brooklyn twenty years ago,
says the letter, and went West to Cal
ifornia There he worked as an en-
gineer on steamer running to the
Canadian ports, after which he came
to Honolulu, married and settled down.
He forgot to write home, and for five
years nothing was heard from him,
Then his brother James started out to
locate Patrick, sailing also for Homo
lulu. That was fifteen years ago, and
since that time nothing was heard
from brother James.
Now there is an estate TO settle uI
and it is necessary that Patrick and
James be found if alive. There Is
good news awaiting them at 33l
Marion street, Brooklyn.
The Honolulu directory contains the
name of Patrick Y. Higgins, engineer
residence Dowsett lane, near King. M
James Higgins can be found in the
book.

Apparently the basis of a settlement
Of the question of the payment of City
and County employees, during the period
of disagreement between the Mayor and
Supervisors, was reached yesterday af-
ternoon at conference between the
Governor and the members of the SEN
ate as committee of the whole. There
had been some conferences between the
Governor and Senators previously in
which the Governor had stated that
there seemed to be some misapprehen-
sion of the argument of his veto of the
enabling act the other day. He point
ed out that his argument was not that
persons legally appointed and entitled
to be paid should not be paid simply
because they did not work when they
were prevented from working by others.
His argument was that being in control
of public funds neither the Governor
nor the Legislature had right to pay
them out to persons who had neither a
legal nor moral claim to be paid.
The conference with the Senators
was largely for the purpose of discuss
ing the legal aspects of the case. 1t
was agreed on all hands that such of

SAYS Los ANGELES
HELPS THE ISLANDS

Herbert P. Eakin of the Gunst- Eakin
Cigar Company, who arrived on the
Korea, will remain here a few weeks
before returning to Los Angeles, where
he controls one of the largest cigar
concerns. Mr.. Eakin notices much i'm
prevement in Honolulu since his two
years absence.
Mr.. Eakin says that Los Angeles is
doing much in the way of promoting
Hawaii's interests among the thou
sands of tourists who visit the South
ern California metropolis. The attrac-
lions of Hawaii are described to the
tourists by the Chamber Of Commerce
and, in fact, by all organizations which
are maintained to attract people te
Southern California. He saws that Ho
nolulu can expect large movement OF
tourists from Los Angeles.

Openly Stated That the
Estimates of the Gov
ernor Are to Be
Dumped.

The streak of economy that broke
out in the House on Monday came out
stronger than ever yesterday, when in
committee of the whole the members
of the House slashed right and left,
pruned down the force of the Attorney
General to shadow, cut the salary
of Archivist Lydecker and ran riot
generally.
This whole thing is leading steadily
to throwing out of the whole set
of estimates prepared and submitted
by the Governor. More than one mem
Der of the House has the figures which
are being prepared for the bill to be
introduced shortly by the Ways and
Means Committee of the Senate, which
bill is being drafted under the eagle
eye of Senator Fairchild and which is
intended to vastly extend the powers
of the counties, turning over to them
the control and management of most
of the public utilities, including the
waterworks and sewer systems, the
maintenance of the courts and iails,
the whole administration of justice in
the criminal courts, everything which
it lis possible to transfer from the Ter
ritory TO the counties, including posi-
bly, the power of levying and collect
ing taxes.
The ideas of the Senate committee,
SO far as can be learned, are to great

to be split up between the central gov
eminent and the counties, with the lat
ter getting the lion share.
For this reason, it is said, the pres

PLAYED with in the House by the lead
ers, although the majority of the mem
bers do not know it and think that
their ponderous and mighty arguments
are being encouraged by the leaders

A resolution calling for the appoint
ment of a special committee of. the
House to prepare for the consideration
of this House a bill covering the neees-
sary amendments to Hawaii s land
laws introduced into the House yes
terday afternoon by Representative
Douthitt, came as surprise of no mean
order to those not in the inside, to
those members who had not been ac-
quainted' with what had transpired at
the meeting of the Speakers cabinet
at the noon hour. The question was
asked: When did it become a part of
the power of the Legislature of Hawaii
to pass any bills to amend the land
laws? What did the resolution mean
that was accepted by the majority and
carried without question?
