APPROPRIATIONS MAY
BE CUT BY GOVERNOR
FEARED THAT LEGISLATURE HAS
RAISED The LIMIT TOO FAR
ON LAST DAY.
Expected That Over 100000 Will
Have to be Cut Off-Tax Collections
viii be Slow for Year.

According to statement from the
state auditors Office it will probably
be necessary for Governor Burke to
1op off a few thousand dollars in
making up the appropriation bills for
signature.
According to the most reliable state
ment that can be obtained the legis-
lature made appropriations in excess
of the amount OF money for that pur.
pose by about $120,000.
The income of the state for the
biennial period is estimated at ST.
$4,000, and from this must be de-
Quoted practically $1,350,0OO which is
the amount of the fixed appropriations.
This year there will be certain SLOW
ness in the. collections of taxes, due
to partial loss of crops in many Sec
lions of the stae, and aside from that
there is the question of the expenses
of the Cowan impeachment trial that
if it lasts any great length Of time
will be heavy drain on the resources
of the state as the actual expense of
the court, aside from witnesses, will
run up to over $500 per day.
Just what part of the appropriation
bills will be cut is of course up to
the governor and he will have to use
his best judgment in the matter, and
this is a proposition that every gov.
ernor since statehood, has been up
against.

MADERO May REMOVE
AMERICAN DIRECTORS

MEXICO, July l4.-That Henry W.
Taft and w. B. Ryan, general manager
of the Tehuantepee National Railway,
win be removed from the board of di-
rectors of the American. Hawaiian
Steamship Company is the statement
that comes from high Madero source.
The Maderos have alleged that there
is graft in the Tehuantepec concession
granted to Lord Cowdray. There is a
community of interest between the
Tehnantepec aud the American-Ha-
waiian line. The Mexican government
owns nearly a million dollars worth Of
American Hawaiian stock, and Taft
and Ryan represent this stock on the
hoard The Mnderos, who propose to
investigate M the Lord cowdrny con
eesslons 10 Mexico, want a government
representative on the steamship board

LEADING HILO FIRMS
WANT LINE EXTENDED

Leading property owners in Hilo take
issue with the Hawaii board of super
visors, which is opposing the extension
of the Hilo railroad up Waikiki street
to Bridge street, according to q petr
tion received at the department of pub
lie works.
The Hilo Railroad Company recently
applied to the department for a right
of way to lay track from the northern
boundary of its station across the
northern end of Front street and up
Waikiki to Bridge street. The depart
mept, under the railroad act, has con-
sidered the request favorably. This the
board of supervisors has objected to.
The application of the railroad COM
pany is accompanied by a petition re-
questing the superintendent of public
works, with the approval of the Cover.
nor, DO permit the extension Among
those favoring the application is E. H.
Austin, one of the supervisors and vice
president of w. C. Peacock q Company
Ltd.
Others who signed THE petition are
Theo. II, Davies & Company. Ltd, Ca.
hruilea & Co, the Hilo Meat Com.
pany, Hoffschlaeger & Company, Ltd.
Wall, Nichols & Co., aud II. Hackfeld
& Co. These firms and persons are oc
cupiers and lessees of property facing
on Wailukn street or of property in thai
vicinity. They all wish to see the ex
tension built.

home RULE PAKE
BACK ON VISIT

Ng Mon War, name to con-
Jure with in the political game nine
or ten years ago, who seemed to be-
come involved in all manner of trou-
bles, both as ranner for prominent
lawyers and as would-be politician,
is back in Honolulu after an absence
Of six years, spent mainly in China.
Mon War, as he was generally call
ed, was a Bear Brummel among the
Chinese, as dapper as college grad,
despite the fact that he wore queue.
He still sticks to it. His temperance
IN Honolulu has been something of
surprise to his old-time friends.
But he is not here for long, for he
intends leaving in about month for
the mainland and will spend consider
able time in travelling over the Unit
ed States, visiting Washington and
New York, in order to see what real
politician of the national stripe is, and
what a really real banker looks like
down on Wall street.
Mon War is not exactly mysterious
about his present visit to Honolulu, nor
Just why he is going to the mainland
bat he was always somewhat of a
mystery.
He states that since leaving Homo.
hulu he has resided almost continuous
ly in Canton, he has not done mIch in
the law business, but states that that
business viii be looking up in a short
time when in the Treaty Ports both
Chinese and European lawyers will be
given equal recognition in the courts
He was admitted to the bar of Ho'
nolulu in 1901, at the time so many
politicians and legislators Were given
the right to practise in the lower
courts.
In 1902 he was induced by the Hom'
Ralers to join their party and one O.
the hlmors of that memorable cam
paign was Mon War. He made stuml
speeches, unique in the world o
oratory. He was even nominated 70
Office by the Home Rulers, this beini
done becalse Mon War was suppose'
Ito be able to swing the entire Chimes
iyote.1 Two, years later he aspirea t
be a member Of the house of represen
fAtives, but at that time the HON
Rulers turned him down cold.
Mon War was a runner in the law OF
Zee of the late Hon, Paul Neumann
and was close friend Of that enine4
jurist.

Procured Coz war.

That Great Britain today is not
preparing for war but is prepared is
certain. The fact that Mr.. Lloyd
George in his speech yesterday to the
bankers of London read his speech
from prepared manuscript, thing
most unusual for Mr.. George, who is
one of the finest of extempore
speakers, has excited mich comment.
The domestic situation is attracting
so much attention at the moment
that foreign affairs are apt to be over
shadowed, but it is evident, in view
of the readiness of the fleet and the
care with which Mr.. George spoke,
that the government is fully awake to
SITS responsibilities. To compare Mr..
Georges speech of last night to his
speeches at the time of the Boer war is
almost as helpful as TO compare the
| Mr.. Burns of today with the Mr..
Burns of Trafalgar Square.

told Of having made more than 10000
per cent profit In the purchase and sale
Of sugar plantation In Hawaii. Ae.
cording TO bis statements, Mr.. spreck.
els made more than s2,OoO,0OO clear on
the deals, having purchased the shares
FOR ten cents apiece and selling them
for from $40 10 $50 apiece.
Mr.. Spreckels had gone 10 Hawaii ON
pleasure trip, he testified, when he
purchased the plantation known as the
Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar Com
pany at ten cents share, or, in round
numbers, $4,000. There was bond is
sue against the plantation Of 81 Joe, 900.
When he sold the property he got from
$40 to $50 share, cleaning up 80 ,OOO,-
600, or about 10000 per cent on his in
vestment.
"Why did you sell the plantationR"

spreckels, twas it because, in the
vernacular, you didn't want to be q

when the general laughter had subsidized

No Price Level.
Before going into session yesterday
the committee inspected the sugar re,
fineries in Brooklyn. The examination
of John E. Parsons, one-time general
counsel for the American Sugar Rein
ing Company, was then concluded.
Mr.. Parsons declared his belief that
there is no agreement between the Ar
buckle and the American company as tc
the fixing of price level for sugar
In fact, Mr.. Parsons testified, there i.
only an armed neutrality between the
two companies.
Representative Hardwick, chairman
of the committee, then called Mr.
Spreekels to the witness stand. The
4 Federal Sugar Refining Company, Of
which Mr.. Spreckels is president, ha,
4 its plant in Yopkers.
i Mr.. Spreckels said he was approached
\ by John Searles, then secretary anc
treasurer of the American Sugar Re

sell fifty-one per cent of the stock o.

made to sell minority interest. Mr.
