The door closed aud he was alone.
Taking a small notebook from his

analysis that he did not see Iris walk
Hstlessly across the lawn that spread
Its summer greenery In front Of the
dining room windows. And that was

Captain Coke placed his hat on top

though the said purpose. 1t is regretta-
BILE to state. was the misleading and
utter bamboozling of Philip Hozier.

Of her uncle's Office. She also knew.

out. that In fifteen minutes or less the
crew would muster in the fo'c'sle for
their midday meal. Not having heard
a word Of Hoziers free speech to the
gentlemen of various nationalities at
the bottom Of the hold. she wondered
why he was blushing
When Hozier was free to glance a
second time at the cross rail Iris had
vanished. He was annoyed. Evidently
she did not wish to encounter any
more OF the ships officers that morn
ing.
The hatches were on and everything
was orderly before Coke's squat figure
climbed the gangway. Hozier reported
the young lady's visit. and the skipper
was obviously surprised. AS he hoist
ed himself up the steep ladder to the
hurricane deck the younger man heard
him condemning some one under his
breath as n leery old beggar." The
phrase was hardly applicable to Iris,
but Coke carme out Of his cabin with
an open letter In his hand and babe q

other more hallowed and less incon-

And there the incident ended. The
Andromeda hauled down the blue pc

WOULD SWITCH FEES
TO COUNTY TREASURY
BILL TAXES LIQUOR LICENSE m
COME AWAY FROM
TERRIToRY.
(From Thursday's Advertiser.l

. Bills regarding the control of income
from and for counties are beginning to
show up in the house of representatives
and it is possible that before the end
of the session provision will have been
made for the segregation Of taxes in
counties for counties.
One of the bills along this line was
introduced in the house yesterday by
Representative Alfonso, to amend sec
tions z and 26 of act 119 Of the session
laws of 1907, entitled "An act to regu-
late the sale of intoxicating liquors. -
Members of the house sat up and won
dered if the bill meant a wide open
proposition, when the title was read,
but they soon found that it was only
changing the method of payment of the
tax or license fee after it is collected
by the secretary of the board of liquor
commissioners.
The special changes made provide
that the secretary shall make annual
reports to the Governor, as at present,
and also to :'the treasurer of the coun-
ty or city and county from which such
reports may be required"
The secretary shall also file with the
auditor of the county or city and coun-
ty in which he is to serve bond in
such amount and form as the "boara Of
supervisors in such county or such city
and county, instead of the auditor,
as at present, shall approve.
But the principal change is in the
fact that if the bin passes the secre-
tary of the board shall forward to
the treasurer Of the county or city and
county" all such fees received by him
during each month Gas realizations for
such county or such city and county,
Thus the money, which has hereto
fore gone to the treasurer of the Ter
ritory, win go to the treasurer of the
county. If passed the act will be in
force after July /. next.

BUCK At POWER
GIVEN GOVERNOR
BILL Is KILLED m SPITE OF THE
MISREPRESENTATION BY TIE
COMMITTEE.

The FIRST hot debate in the house took
place yesterday over the report Of the
public lands committee, which recon-
mended that H. B. 4s be passed. In
spite OF the favorable recommendation,
however, the bill was tabled, murdered,
30 to speak, without mercy.
In effect the bill would have pro
vided for the acquisition of private
lands for public use, to be purchased
by the money derived from the sale of
public lands sold for other than home
stead purposes. It was primarily for
the purpose Of securing lands for parks
and Fairgrounds, or any other purpose
the Governor might approve.
Representative Alfonso, chairman Of
the public lands committee, and Rep.
resentative Towse, chairman Of the ag-
riculture, forestry, promotion and i'm.
migration committee, defended the bill
calling attention to the necessity at
times Of securing private lands for pub
lie purposes.
But vice Speaker Rice and others
opposed it. Rice thought that there
were present ways Of securing such
lands as needed without giving a Gov
ernor Of the Territory so much power
to discriminate.
Representative Sheldon also spoke,
rather against the bill, and be was par
ticularly insistert in having it under
stood that this bill had nothing what
ever to do with his bill making a public
park ont of certain lands at Waimac,
Kauai
Bat it was Representative K1liinoi
who blossomed forth as the orator of
opposition.
"I do not think this bill should
pass, /" stated the statesman from MIui.
st gives the Governor great power
so that he can dispose Of public lend at
his discretion. Furthermore, there are
sufficient laws at the present time to
cover this bill. We have a heavy land
Indebtedness and 1 think some of this
money should 60 toward paying off this
debt.
"The Governor can sell land, under
this bill, in Hawaii to improve public
property in Oahu; and Hawaii, Maui
and Kauai have always got the worst
of it in such deals. Therefore / OPP
pose it,
After that it was all over with the
bill.
