SMITHS TWELFTH
YEAR IN GOVERNMENT

T.. A. Mott-Smith, exponent of the
strenuous life and dual service in the
territorial government, is thirty six
years of age today. The president of
the Board of Health and the secretary
Of the Territory has been in the public
service in some capacity since 1897,
and it is record for efficient and con
sistent labors in government affairs.
The first public Office held by Mott
Smith was as a member of the Board
of immigration. In 1899 he was APP
pointed Minister of Foreign Affairs and
was ex-ofcio Minister of Public In
struction. This was in the transition
period between the transfer of soyer-
eighty to the United States, and the
establishment of the territorial govern
ment in 1900. In 1901 he was appoint
ed as member of the Board of Edu
cation and following that service was
appointed to the Board of Health on
which he served for several years. In
1907 he was appointed secretary of the
Territory and the last day of the SEES
sion of the last Legislature his appoint
ment as president of the Board of
Health was confirmed by unanimous
vote of the Senate.

STILL GUESSING ON
CAMPBELL SUCCESSOR

No Territorial Treasurer has been ap-
pointed yet, and the candidates for the
1915 per month position and the Gus.
tody of the government IS strongbox,
are still wondering who the lucky man
is going to be. Governor FTear has
intimated that he is finding some diff
ficulty in securing an "available" man
for the place.
Attorney General Hemenway con
tinues to perform the duties and the
work of the Treasurer 8 office seems
to progress satisfactorily, with Henry
Hapai being in active cha ge of the
department.
When Treasurer A. J. Campbell failed
to receive confirmation at the hands of
the Senate it was thought by some
members of the upper house Of the
Legislature that there would be no
difficulty in Governor Frear deciding
upon another appointee without delay.
Despite the opinion of the solons, how
ever, the Governor has apparently
found that it is not easy to find a man
that is willing to take the position and
is also as fully qualified to perform the
tasks of the office as was the official
whom the Senate declined to indorse.
In the meantime the candidates are
in receptive mood.

sion. Probably the most important mat
ter which came mp for discussion was
that regarding the sanitary effect upon
this port of the Japanese South Ameri.
can service. No definite action was
taken by the Chamber of Commerce, the
trustees referring the matter for inves-
tigation to the Committee ON Public
Health, which will later make report.
One of the local Marine Hospital
physicians was quoted at the meeting
yesterday as stating that the coming
Of this line of steamers to Honolulu sis
one of the worst things which has ever
happened TO the islands, the reason
being the danger OF the introduction of
malaria mosquitoes or other pests from
Mexico or South America. 1t was sta
ted that the Federal authorities were
perfectly willing TO do their duty in the
matter OF exacting strict quarantine
and fumigation of the ships, but they
often found that their efforts were re-
ceived with such hue and cry on the
part of the merchants whose goods
might be slightly damaged in the work
that they were many times discouraged.
The sense of the meeting yesterday
was that some action should be taken
by the Chamber of Commerce to show
the Federal doctors that the local body
was backing them in the work. The
matter was, therefore, referred to the
| Committee on Public Health.
President Morgan reported that the
Chamber s entertainment of the officers
and men of the Japanese fleet had been
very successful. He also reported on
the visit of former Vice President @. w.
Fairbanks, whose stopover in the
Islands was due in n great measure to
the active work done by the Chamber
of Commerce in cabling him. A letter
from Fairbanks was read by Secretary
Wood, which was as follows;
Honolulu, 7. H., May IL, 1909
My Dear Mr.. Morgan:-I wish to
express to you, and to the Chamber of
Commerce, upon the eve of my depar-
ture from Honolulu, my profound graft
tude for the generous courtesies which
you have extended to me during my
visit here. i shall always remember it
as among the most pleasant features of
n very delightful visit.
With my cordial regards and best
wishes,
Sincerely yours,
CHAS. w. FAIRBANKS.
Mr.. j. +. Morgan, President Chamber
of Commerce.
Mr.. Morgan also stated that he has
been busily engaged of late in develop
ing the plan for the new Chamber of
Commerce building getting designs fol-
the building and securing options on
property. He also stated that DR.. Hart
land Law, the San Francisco magnats
who is at present visiting in the city
will probably speak before the Chamber
J of Commerce in the near future.

EXPECT FAVOR IN
PINEAPPLE TARIFF

The Merchants Association cable
gram to Delegate Kuhio in regard to
the pineapple tariff, asked for to pro-
tect Hawaii's output, was duly pre-
scented to Senator Aldrich, chairman
of the Senate Finance Committee. A
copy was handed to Senator Flint of
California, who is giving some help in
the tariff fight. A brief, prepared by
Mr.. Mcclellan, has been sent to every
member of the committee, showing the
pineapple schedules.
1t is understood from advices just
received from Washington that In the
present involved and more or less BIT
ter stage which the tariff fight has
reached, " Is impossible to predict the
outcome. 1t is said that some Sena-
tors are favorable, and 1t is hoped at
least to have the canned schedule ad-
vanced above the present rate.

SLOWED AWAY FROM
HERE TO THE COAST

OAKLAND, May 4.-Traveling as
stowaways on sugar boat from Homo
lulu TO Port Costa, pretty Ethel Ba.
thelho and her husband, Joseph, were
central figures in dramatic scenes in
Justice of the Peace Frank Is court and
Manuel Cabral's home at San LeaRdro
today. Mrs. Bathelho wept piteously
in court as she pleaded for protection
against her husband, who threatened
her life. At the same time Bathelho
attempted to drink two ounces of car
bolic acid, and when Cabral knocked
the bottle out of his hands he left the
house and disappeared.
She refused to tell her maiden name,
but said that her family lived in Oak
land and that after her marriage,
which they opposed, she had gone to
Honolulu with her husband. Finding
no work there and becoming destitute,
they concealed themselves as stowaways
on sugar boat agd returned to Port
Costa.
Then they went to San Leandro,
where things went from bad to worse,
and he pawned even her glasses.

COTTON BROS. PAID
CASH FOR DREOGER

The big check for over $4,000 which
was received last week by Attorney
General Hemenway, as settlement of
the Judgment obtained by the Terri
tory against Cotton Bros, contractors,
of Oakland, for the loss of a Terri
torial dredger, which sank off the en-
trance to Pearl HarbOr channel in
1903, while under lease to that firm.
was money which Cotton Bros them
selves paid in cash to the surety COM
pany which sent the check.
The case went up to the Supreme
Court of the United States, and judg-
ment was obtained for $4,000, which,
with interest and expenses, amounted
10 total of $32,395.
In yesterdays mail A. F. Judd, local
attorney for Cotton Bros, received a
letter from the firm in regard to the
check. 1t appears that on April 26
Cotton Bros. paid the above sum in
cash to the United States Fidelity and
Guaranty Company for the purpose of
satisfying the Judgment. Cotton Bros.

that they dug up the cash, for other

company had to make good their
guaranty. The surety company held
securities from Cotton Bros. far In ex-
cess of the judgment.

1t is known that the strike commit

an added expense now for attorneys

nance to be provided for the strikers,

Pay your tax at once and avoid
penalty. Don't wait until last days,
as the collection of the school tax
makes it necessary to keep two sets
of books and write two receipts,
hence we can only wait on half the
number of people that we have for
merly done on the last days. All
property on which taxes are not
paid by Dec. /, will be advertised.
