LAW NAY NOT
PERMIT CHANGE
SUPERVISORS TO r.BARN II THEY
HAVE MEANS FOR FRER
GARBAGE.

The city attorneys department is
now engaged in deciding for the super
visors just what the taxing powers
bestowed upon them by the last legis.
lature amount to, how far they can be
used, and for what. Despite the sup
posedly clear wording Of the Fairchild
Tax Law the city governing board is
still "up-in-the-air" as to what it can
do, particularly as regards the improve
ment of the garbage department.
1t is for that reason that the city
attorney has been asked to explain the
law and the degree of elasticity be-
longing to it. Auditor Fisher, accord
ing to some Of the supervisors, has been
quoted as saying that the new law will
not permit of raising of the tax rate for
the purpose of either lowering the rate
on garbage collections or making it a
free service altogether. Under the
wording of the aet-a specific portion
of the tax, the assessment Of which is
left to the supervisors, can be used for
public improvements or for schools and
for nothing else. As this leaves no
more, OF hardly as much, money for the
ordinary demands of government as the
huHeINisOIS uOW pOSSOSo, BdAbd6o beOhuo
to be left out of it altogether and no
remedy seems to be in sight until the
next legislature in 1913.
The action of the supervisors in re-
ferring the matter to the city attorney
at this early date, however, was taken
upon an understood possibility of there
being still a chance that the attitude
of the legislature, as expressed in its
act, is not militant against the use of
the tax revenue to free garbage sys-
tenn.
There are still other things which
the city supervisors are worrying their
heads about in connection with the
change in the tax system, which goes
into effect at the end of the first half
of the coming fiscal year. The main
trouble lies in the adjustment of the
expenditures to the receipts under that
system and the possible necessity of
, registering the warrants of all city en-
ployes, even for so long time as six
months.
This action, it is thought, is likely
to be necessary, by reason of the fact
that the tax revenue for the first part
of 1912, which is to be collected on the
assessment of the supervisors, will not
come in before the end of the first
quarter or the semiannual period, leav-
ing the treasury almost barren during
that time. If such proves to be the
case, it will cost-the city pretty ex.
ira penny, as the interest on the war
rants so registered will probably have
to be borne by it.

MAKES VALUABLE
FIND OF OPIUM
ON IWILEI DUMP

Who, on Cleanup Day, renovated not
only his premises, but his conscience,
and cast upon the rubbish heap fifteen
good tins of unstamped opiumf Who
ever it is, he is not likely to come for
ward and blushingly plead guilty to
the charge for at the prevailing rate
of unstamped opium it meant that he
had 1915 worth Of smuggled "dope'
at one time in his possession, and the
federal officials have been known to
exert themselves for less.
At any rate somebody did, for some
body else picked up just that number
of tins from the Iwilei dump, where they
had escaped both the scrutiny of the
earlier dump scavengers and the fire.
Who that somebody is, is equally mys-
terry, for beside the fact that he re.
ported it to the police aud then vanish
ed, nothing is known of him. He is a
Hawaiian, however. The police author
tiles thought that he was going to turn
the dope over to the federal officials,
but it seems he never did for the latter
had not heard of the find up to last
night.

ARTHUR O. HARRIS DIES
UPON HIS RETUAN hO4dE

Arthur Clarence Harris, twenty-nine
years old, died at the home of his moth
er, Mrs. Elizabeth Harris, in Waikiki,
last evening at half-past nine O'Clock.
The funeral will be held this afternoon
at the residence at three o'clock and
the burial will be in the Nuuanu ceme-
terry.
Mr.. Harris returned from Vancouver,
British Columbia, only few months
ago, suffering from tuberculosis, but in
spite of the better climate it was too
late to afford him permanent relief. He
was born in Honolulu and attended To-
lani College. For some time he had
been engaged in railroad work in Van
eouver. His father, George f. Harris, is
dead, but the young man leaves three
brothers, w. W., George f. and Albert
j.. Harris.

over all parts of the country east OF

here the representatives and congress

to reach an adjournment by the first
week in August. Members of both
the house. and the senate are rushing to
the country for a few days outing.

Reports received are that FIVE are
dead from the heat in Chicago and FIVE
more dead in New York from the same
cause. Also there are hundreds of pros

SHE DRINKS POISON
WHILE IT IS DARK
WIFE OF A JAPANESE INTER
PREFER MAKES FATAL
MISTAKE.

Either through intent or through ac-
cident, more probably the latter, Mrs.
Edward. Townsend, wife of the Japa-
nese and Korean interpreter at the
police court, drank cresolin early
yesterday morning at three O'Clock,
dying at her home in Nuuanu twelve
hours afterwards, the efforts of three
physicians being insufficient to save
her.
Townsend, known as "Inouye"
among the japanese, had left his home
early the previous evening to go to
the japanese club, having stated his
intention to his wife and received her
assent He returned about three yes

Whether the eresolin was drunk
through accident or on purpose Is q
question that will possibly be decided
tonight AZ an inquest to be held at the
police station. She was badly burned

BARRE TO HAVE PUBLIC EXHI-
BlTIoN OF MODERN METHODS
OF KILLING DISEASE GERMS

A movement has been on foot during
the past few months to get the residents
of this city interested in the destroying
of the disease germs that are responsible
for the sickness and death in this city.
The fact that the greater part of the
sickness and death are traced directly to
the ravages of the disease germ only
gives ample evidence that some action
must be taken to relieve the unfortunate
condition. After slight investigation Of
the different methods and means of OBJ
tanning the results required, few of the
philosophical citizens have spared nei-
Their time nor money TO give this subject
a deep and thorough study, and the re.
suit Is they are unanimous in recon-
mending "cabot's Sulpho Napthol" They
find II the most thorough in its effect of
anything in this line. This information
was secured and obtained for the Barre
Drug company, corner Main and Mer-
chant streets, who have all the statistics
gathered in this investigation; also the
guarantee of the maker. together with
testimonials from hospitals. sanitariums
and people from every part Of the eoun-
tryj also large supply of the goods on

ton, even for your own health.

high official had made a vow that
be would distribute to the poor the
weight Of his own elephant in silver
money. But the great difficulty that
at first presented itself was the mode
Of ascertaining what this weight real
ly was. All the learned and clever
men Of the court seemed to have en-
deavored in vain to construct a ma
chine of sufficient power TO weigh the
elephant.
At length Shajee came forward and
suggested plan which was simple
and yet ingenious in the highest de-
gree. He caused the unwieldy animal
to be conducted along a stage special-
ly made for the purpose by the water
side into a fat bottomed boat. Then,
having marked on the boat the height
to which the water reached after the
elephant had weighed 1t down, the
latter was taken out and stones sub
stituted In sufficient quantity to hold
the boat to the same line. The stones
were then taken to the scales. and
thus. to the amazement of the court.
was ascertained the true weight OF
the elephant. Exchange.

terday Deputy Hummer accused Deputy
Melik Of having inspired mendaeious
newspaper article, and said he regret
ted be could not challenge Melik, as
court Of honor forbade his fighting

Melik thereupon called Hummer a

ties interferred and stopped hostilities.
