After three hours of discussion,
the viaduct committee failed to
reach any conclusion last night
and 1t will have another meeting
toomrrow noon in an attempt to
decide what action to take to
launch the tideflat scheme.
The manifest unfairness of the
plan of J.. M. Ashton to raise
money by taxation for the erec-
tion of the viaduct, when shown
MP by Judge Stiles, was SO plain
that the committee was almost
ready to discard this plan, but
Ashton was not present and, in
order to give him hearing, the
matter was laid over.
BY Ashton's plan another mu-
nicipal corporation with taxing
power would be created. This
would make five in the city, in
GLIDING the city, the county, the
park board, the school board and
the new viaduct commission.
BY the taxation plan improved
property rated high on the tax
duplicate up in town would pay a
far greater proportion of the VIA
duct cost than the tfdelands them
selves.
Should any such unjust scheme
ever be attempted, the taxpayers
in the city would kick up a pretty
big dust before it was carried out.

YOUNG HAS LIVELY
FIGHT WITH SHARKS

Handicapped by the fading evening
light which made seeing anything but
easy, and in momentary danger of be-
ing plunged overheard into the sea,
Jack Young last evening captured two
big sharks about quarter of mile off
the outside buoy. One of the sharks
is something over eight feet in length
while the other stretches the tape out
to ten feet.
Young was all alone in his launch,
and not only the playing of the
frisky sea jewellers fell to him, but he
also had to handle the boat. A heavy
swell was running, and several times
he narrowly escaped going overheard.
Young went out shark hunting yes
terdavs afternoon with DR.. Blackman,
of Colorado, guest at the Moana. The
hooGo. which has followed the shark
fisher for several days, was still in
evidence, and the defunet horse, which
was taken along as bait, sank. In vain

and towed around, the sharks would
not rise.

BLIND PIGS INCREASE THE
REVENUE OF UNCLE SAM

approximately $4,000 more in inter
nal revenue licenses has been taken in
by Collector Walter Drake during the
past year than was collected during the
previous twelve months. The collec-
lions, in fact, have been in excess of
those of any year previous to the one
ended June 80. and mean that the sal
airy of Mr.. Drake will be substantially
increased.
A very large proportion of the inter
nal revenue money collected comes from
sellers of liquor who are not licensed by
the Territorial government-from blind
pigs, in other words. This is demon
strated by the fact that Walter Doyle
and c. NJ. Thomas of the Internal
Revenue Department returned Sunday
from Kauai, bringing with them about
10000 which they had collected there.
Most of this was for licenses, though
some-of the money was paid in for past
violations of the internal Revenue laws.
No retail liquor licenses have been
granted on Kauai and only six whole
sale licenses by the Territory. The
Federal wholesale license is only 800,

Time.

That the Campbell Estate will sup
ply the money to take. up the $4,000
mortgage against the Kapiolani Estate,
now held by the German American Saw
ings and Loan Association of San Fran
cisco, is now definitely assured The
negotiations have. practically been com
pleted, and it was expected that the
stockholders of the Kapiolani Estate
would hold "a meeting yesterday after
noon to place the official seal of their
approval on the deal The meeting
was postponed, however, ewing to the
fact that the necessary papers had not
been drawn up The meeting will prob
ably be held within the next few days.
The Campbell Estate is ready and
willing to furnish the $4,000 needed
to take over the mortgage, and, I'M
officially, the Kapiolani Estate is said
to be thoroughly in accord with the
plan. Attorneys for the Campbell Es-
tate are now examining the title deeds
and other securities which the kapio-
lani, Estate has to offer, and just as
soon as they make favorable report
the money will be forthcoming.
Cecil Brown stated yesterday after
noon that the Campbell Estate was
ready with the money and would turn
it over just as soon as the papers had
been approved and the preliminaries
settled.
So favorably have the negotiations
progressed so far, that it was expected
thai the draft for $4,000, necessary
to secure release Of the mortgage,
would go to the Coast by the next mail.
With the assuming of the mortgage
by the Campbell Estate, valuable Sc

Man UNDER ARREST

zee Sung ing and Chun Do Wong,
Koreans, are locked up at the police
station, facing charge of highway
robbery. The men were taken into
custody about s o'clock last night by
Chief of Detectives LeaI. They are
charged with having held up and
robbed Bak Chong Wing, another Ko-
rean, at an early hour yesterday motn-
ing.
Bak, the victim, was cut about tie
hands and somewhat battered, though
not La6ly enough hurt but that he was
able to go home. He claims that the
two men under arrest relieved him of
$32 in cash. which he had in his pocket
The alleged robbery took place on
Vineyard street.
The pilikia grew out of a poker
game in which the three men had been
sitting earlier in the evening. Bak
managed to win all of the money and,
according to the story told by him,
the other two waylaid him and forced
him to disgorge.
According to Leal, zee and Chun
admit having been in a fight with Bak,
but deny having taken any money from
him.

.HACkMEN BEAT
WHARF WATCHMAA

While trying to prevent q crowd of
haekmen from driving onto the Mauna
Loa wharf early Sunday morning, Cap
tain Emil lie Clair, night Waterman,
was knocked down and somewhat bat
tered. In the mixup LIE Clair was un-
able to get good look at any of his
assailants, owing to the darkness, So
no arrests resulted.
AS the Kinau was pulling up along
side the berth, at about 4:30 o'clock
in the morning, lie Clair endeavored
to open the gates and allow the hack
men out on TO the wharf. There was a
wild rush for the entrance and, fear
ing that there might be some damage
done, the Waterman tried TO stem the
tied and keep the men in line. Sew
eral of them, according to lie CAR $
story, jumped from their vehicles ana
set upon him, beating and striking at
him.
LIE Clair was knocked down and sew
eral of his assailants started to fol-
low up the matter by kicking him.
Others took q hand, however, ana
rescued the Waterman. lie Clair says
that most Of his assailants were Japa-
nese and Portuguese.

which would mean that only one-tenth
OF the $4,000 collected by the United
States authorities represents licenses
granted by the Territory. AS most OF
the liquor sellers of Kauai are retailers,
though not licensed by the Territorial
government, and the Federal retail Ii
cense is only $25 year, it is evident
that there must be not merely ten times
six liquor selling places on Kauai but
many more times six. Kauai, it appears,
IS full of blind pigs.
j. Walter Doyle states that he made
a thorough cleanup on the Garden
Island, and that probably number of
arrests win follow for violations of the
Internal Revenue laws. Among those
for. whom the arm of the law will reach
out are several alleged moonshiners,
who have been operating their illicit
stills IN the mountains and gulches.
A number of dealers were found who
were violating the terms of their Fed
eral licenses. These include both sell
ers of liquor and dealers in tobacco.
These were all rounded up by the

DID REJECTION
The Parker Ranch. Will Supply

Through an opinion that has been
submitted to President Mott Smith by

on the Island of Melokai to supply
beef TO the Settlement There were
only two bids submitted, the second
coming from the Parker Ranch Com

Element with beef for the six months
period at nine cents per pound or $3l so

Sugar Company was 30 per head, but
attached to it were conditions that re-

which entered a formal protest to the
acceptance of the bid of the American
Sugar Company on the ground that ii
included proviso which would place
it int the category of the conditional
bids, forbidden by the law on the sub

The clause in the American Sugar
Company bid to which objection was
