LAX HANDLING
Of PUBLIC CASH
Shortage in Tax Office Leads to
Discovery Of Other Flaws
in System.
COLLECTIONS LIE FOR YEARS
Believed Further Shortages May
Be Discovered = Heads
Ready to Drop.
COLLECTIONS LIE FOR YEARS

The discovery that money paid into
the district court of Honolulu to the
amount of over seven hundred dollars
on tax suit judgments had never reach
ed the tax Office, for the charged en-
bezzlement of which Jimmy Holt is now
under arrest, has led to an investigation
of affairs, the result of which has been
to show that the tax office is not the
only department of the government
where very lax methods of handling
cash are in vogue.
1t has been learned that money col
lected in the district court is held
there indefinitely and no notification
given to the tax Office that collections
have been made. Some few months
ago, Assessor Wilder dropped in at the
office of the district court and inquired,
casually, if any money for the tax Of
fee was on hand. He was told that
there might be, and that the matter
would be looked up. Later he was in
formed that there was some money
there, collected on judgments.
Several times Wilder asked that the
money be sent to his office, and, about
month ago, he finally got it. Look
ing into the matter, he learned that a
part of the money had been collected
nearly two years ago and had been
lying in the district court safe, doing
no one any good, ever since. This
shows a laxity in methods that needs
some correction.
Owing to the system in vogue, there
is no way of telling exactly, without
making very complete search of the
records of the district court and of
the tax office, whether the seven hun
dred which Holt is charged with mis-
appropriating is all that is missing.
There is a general superstition in the
latter office that further shortages will
eventually be discovered, but the dis
covery may not come until more tax
suits are brought. -.1
The result of the Investigations be-
gun by the discovery of the known
Shortage has been to create the impress
sion that knowledge of the shortage,
or at least of a shortage, has been
known to others in the tax Office than
the man responsible. If this can be
established as fact, it will mean the
dismissal of all those who knew and
who did not report to their superiors

KOHALA LINES
ARE RECORD SIZE

George c. Watt, manager of Kohala
plantation, last week sent to Forester
Ralph S. Hosmer some remarkable
specimens of the lime, grown in his
garden at Kohala. These lines are as
large as ordinary oranges and are prac-
tically seedless, but despite their size
they are not pithy and the amount of
juice contained in the samples of fruit
is fully in proportion to their bigness.
Hosmer believes that the growing of
these lines might easily be developed
into profitable industry in this Terri
tory. and that not only the necessity
for importing lemons from California
could be obviated but that profitable
export business might in time be built
up.
The trees from which the lines were
picked are in the neighborhood Of ten
years of age.

An open letter to w. A. Bowen, Sec
rotary of the school fund commission.
Dear Sir:-After reading carefully
your letter to the public, i wish to pro-
test against the increase of taxation
there outlined as again placing prac-
tically the whole burden on the poor.
Apparently the rate of one per cent
is low, and that may be true for those
who are 80 fortunate as TO hold their
property outside of Honolulu. For
them / can not speak, for those who
are 30 unfortunate ms TO have their
holdings here in the city, can. Our
property IL valued far beyond posi-
BILE selling price, no that our taxes,
water, and sewer rates together amount
10 from onehfth our gross incomes in
good years 10 0nethird IN bad. TO
increase these taxes on the poor or tho
middle classes would be unhearable.
The proposal 10 increase the poll tax
II unjust. placing tho burden 0a those

JUDD MAY GET
HEMENWAY'S JOB
Andrews Is Popular Candidate,
but Has no Cinch on
the Place.

The question as to who is to be ap-
pointed to succeed Attorney General
Hemenway when that official resigns,
as he has announced he will do soon,
has not yet been settled, and Governor
Frear gives no sign as to whom the
mantle of Hemenway is 70 fall upon.
1t is even possible that G Ivernor Frear
will not appoint any successor to Mr..
Hemenway, if he himself resigns, as it
is thought not improbable he will.
Lorrin Andrews is being strongly
urged for the position and may land
it, but just at present it looks very
much as if A. II. Judd might be the
man. 1t is unohicially stated that he
is the Governor candidate for the
place, and what the Governor says
goes.
Since his return from abroad and
the mainland Mr.. Andrews has been
first deputy attorney general, and has
proven himself an able and efficient
man in the department. He has handled
several difficult cases and has won
them, The last case of importance
which ho handled on behalf OF the gov
eminent was the eieetment proceedings
by which the Territory regains posses
sion of the right Of way between the
Moana Hotel aud the lIustace prom,

LIBRARY SITE
SETTLING ITSELF
Three Sites Advocated and Each
Has Its Advocates and
Critics.
CAPITOL SITE HAS FRIENDS
Thomas Square Out of the Run
ing, but Bishop Park May
Be Chosen.
CAPITOL SITE HAS FRIENDS

The semi-controversy over the site
for the new Carnegie library building
has about run the gamut and all the
available places having been discussed
1t has become matter of eliminating
those which are the least desirable.
The recapitulation shows that but
three sites were advanced-Thomas
Square, the capitol grounds and Bishop
Park. On one of these three, the build
ing will undoubtedly be erected and it
is unlikely that much trouble will dc.
velop when the proper officials get
down to business and the corner gossip
is relegated to the backwoods.
The capitol grounds come most
prominently before the public as pos
sible site, many desiring to see the
building erected where the Bungalow
now stands.
Thomas Square was the next to get
into line for the building but the OPP.
position that sprung up became quite
decided. The principal objection to it
is its remoteness from n common center
and to everybody in town except the
residents in the immediate district, it
would mean extra time, extra trouble
and extra carfare to reach it. 1t is
thought that these pertinent objections
win effectual eliminate the square from
the discussion when coupled with the
fact that the public desires it to be
left open.
Bishop Park, facing the Young Hotel
has as yet received no enthusiastic sup
port as the site for the building and
for the reason that it stands as the
dark horse, may become the site in
reality.
None of the objections that have
been applied to the other places can be
applied to Bishop Park. There are no
buildings to harmonize' with unless
it be the hotel and no matter how the
two differed, one would set the other
off. The greater the contrast the bet
ter. 1t is adjacent to and within a
block of every car line and connection
in the city and is directly in line with
the shopping circle, an important adj
iunct to an institution of the kind.
For this reason there will be many
people who will get out and root for
Bishop Park, who would otherwise join
fractional and neighborhood scrap to
pull the building nearer their homes.
| The Governor has not yet appointed
| the three trustees of the library accord
ing to the act of legislature which
creates the Library of Hawaii, but the
names will probably be announced this
week or next. The other three, two OF
which are to be appointed by the
library and one by the historical So
ciety, will act nominally in an advisory
capacity, but in reality they will be
consulted in all things. AS yet the
library has not selected its two repre-
sentatives but the historical society has
appointed A. Lewis, Jr., as its trustee

HEARING OF cITY'S APPLICATION
FOR PERMANENT INJUNCTION
TO BE HELD ELSEWHERE.
PARKER sUsrAlNs MOTION
TO TRANSFER THE CASE
Motion Also Prevents Judge Parker
From Hearing the Case Because, Be-
ing Telephone Subscriber, He is
an Interested Party-ProbabIy Be
Tried in Benton or Tama Court.

The hearing. by which the city hopes
to make permanent the temporary in
Junction 1t secured few weeks ago
against the Marshall Telephone Com
pany restraining it from collecting the
increased rates it put into effect June
l, will be heard in some other court
than in Marshall county. A motion,
which takes the case outside of the
county and prevents Judge Parker
from hearing it, which was made by
the telephone company's attorneys, was
sustained by Judge Parker this morn
ing
This motion has the effect of a
change of venue, and the case will
probably be transferred to one of the
TWO other county courts of the dis
trict, or perhaps outside of the district.
The showing was made in the motion
that Judge Parker was patron of the
company, and that he was subject to
the increase in rates and was and
thereby made an interested party and
not qualified to hear the case
Judge Parker issued the temporary
injunction on Aug. % on the showing
made by the city that the company
was disregarding the ordinance which
established the telephone rates The
city posted a bond of $1,000 as indem-
nifty, and the next hearing of the case
Will determine whether the temporary
injunction will be dissolved or Whe Their
