KAHN TALKS IN HILO AND
THURSTON SPEAKS HOTLY AGAINST
GOVERNMENT BY COMMISSION

HILO, September 22.-Promising
his support for coffee tariff, against
revision of the sugar tariff, in favor
of an appropriation for the removal
of the distractions to Kuhio Bay and
also in favor of European immigra-
ton, the Hon. julius Kahn of San
Francisco delivered a most effective
and pleasing speech at the banquet
given him Thursday night by the
members of the Hilo Board of Trade.
The only other matter of great inter-
est in the course of the evening was
in an address made by L. A. Thurs
ton. who passed lightly over the sub
jects of tariff and immigration to en-
ter a mos vigorous protest against
any thought of government by com
mission He stated that "if there Is
anything in Heaven or hell that we
don't want, it is government by a
commission appointed in Washing
ton.

dent Elliott, of the Hilo Board of
Trade, in a few words, which were
most carefully chosen. Mr.. Kahn
said in part:
Kahn Likes Hawaii.
"I hardly know how to thank you
for your kindness and entertainment
for the past two days. I will let you
into a secret as to the reason I came
here. I was in Washington through
out the entire hot spell and wanted
a rest and a pace to cool off, so
came to Hawaii and found just what

Favors Coffee Tariff.

Honolulu is to have an efficient free
garbage service by the first of next
January.
At least this is the determination Of
the Central improvement Committee,
which has taken the matter up in
earnest and has satisfied itself that it
may be easily accomplished.
This morning President Emil A.
Berndt and Vice President V. Won
Damn, of the Improvers, had a confer
ence with Secretary Mott-Smith,
for the purpose of getting a lit
tie light on the matter of laws relat-
ing to this subject. OF course, the
county will have to do the work, and
also provide the funds, but the inn
provement committee expects to be
able to show the supervisors, in
short time, exactly how to go about
the proposition.
The cost of a complete service for
the city is estimated at $4,000 per
year. This amount will have to be
raised either from the general reve.
nues of the city and county, or by
means of a special tax for the pur-
pose, which may now be legally levied.
The counties viii have power after
the first of the year, to levy special
tax for school purposes and for a

people who wish to come, but who
can not be accommodated by the Will
lesden. Agent Campbell reported
some time ago that the outlook was
good for getting two shiploads of inn
migrants, and his present cable indi-
Gates that they are still favorable.
1t is presumed that he is negotiating
with British shipping agencies for an
other charter, and that on the sue
cess of his efforts in this direction
depends in considerable measure the
full success of his mission.
If the Willesden gets away within
two weeks she should arrive here not
later than the middle of November,

tenn of nomenclature is adopted It
seems wholly probable that the Ter
ritcry of Hawaii will be honored by
having a modern Dreadnaught named
after her. Should such be the case,
Commander Hayes hopes to be placed
in command of her and be the first
to guide her through the canal and
bring her to anchor in the harbor Of
Honolulu, which, by that time, should
the expectations of the Hundred
Thousand Club be realized, will have
doubled her present population and
become a city indeed.

WATERWORKS BIDS
OPENED TODAY

Bids for about $4,000 worth Of
pipe and fittings for the extension OF
the Honolulu waterworks system
were opened in the Public Works
Department at noon today. There
were about a dozen bidders, but only
five of them submitted bids on fur
nishing the 1880 tons of cast iron
pipe, which amounts to some S60,00J
of the whole amount of supplies
called for All of the various kind
of fittings were itemized, in the ten
ders, and it will not be possible to
tell who the lowest bidder is on the
various items before next Monday

people plentiful; ships scarce" is
the cabled information received this
morning from A, J. Campbell by the
Board of immigration.
1t seems probable from this, that
it will be but a short space of time
until the British steamer Willesden
will be sailing from Spain or Portu-
gal with all she can carry of Spanish
and Portuguese laborers for Hawaii.
DR.. Victor S. Clark, executive of the
Board, thinks perhaps within two
weeks.

Local Boys Did Well.

Yesterday morning the National
Guard Companies, advancing as the
outpost of a brigade, bumped into the
enemy's skirmishers on the brow of
the hill towards Waialua, and a sharp
engagement took place, in which, ac-
cording to regular army officers, the
home troops brushed the skirmish line
away in splendid shape. In fact, this
work will go to the credit of the local
boys as excellent" The good judg-
ment and able way in which the men
were handled by the officers came in
for general commendation.
The companies broke camp this
morning and will be back in Honolulu
this afternoon. Next week Companies
E and F will have six days of the
same kind of work, which will end
| this years encampment work as far
as the Oahu companies are concerned.
Four tons of camp equippage were
shipped yesterday from local Guard
headquarters to Wailuku, Maui, to be
used by the Maui companies which
begin their weeks work on October
End, while the week following the Hilo
companies have their turn. Accord
ing to present arrangements, a com
pany of the Second Ifnantry will go
to Maui and to Hawaii to assist IN
the work of making soldiers of the
National Guardsmen.

Efficient Free Garbage
Service By Next January

sue. If this is taken advantage Of,
there will be more money available
from regular revenues, by the amount
required for keeping up the schools.
If, however, it should seem best 10
levy a special tax for the garbage
system, it is estimated that one
fifteenth of one of one per cent on the
assessed valuation will do the work.
This rate, the Improvement commit
tee believes, should not be considered
burdensome by anyone.
President Berndt, in speaking Of
the matter -aid: "The Oahu Central
Improvement Committee, after the
revelations of Cleanup Day, pledged
itself to secure a free garbage serv-
ice for the city. We have found that
the present inadequate service, which
is costing the actual users of it about
so, 900 per month, is paying a dividend
of about S195 per month into the
county treasury. The problem of a
really efficient free service will not
be a difficult one to solve"
Another conference has been ar
ranged for next Wednesday with the
Governor and Secretary, by which
time it is expected that the situation
will be clear as to what the laws are
under which the county may take
up the problem.

FATAL ACCIDENT
AT MOILIILI QUARRY

One man was killed and another Sc
riously injured by an explosion of giant
powder at the government quarry at
Moiliili shortly after o'clock this
morning.
The man killed was David Kaui,
and the name of the injured man is Ka-
halewai They were members Of a
gang of men who were working in the
quarry.
Blasting has been going on in the
quarry for the last two weeks and
this morning the gang went to work
on the disintegrated rock.
1t appears that one of the workmen
named Kealiinui found a hole in the
rock in which was an unexploded
charge of giant powder. He called
Kaui's attention to it and told him to
be careful not to touch It or else there
would be troubel-.
Kaui paid no attention to the words
of Kealiinui, however, but kept on
hammering all around the powder in
an attempt to dislodge it from the
hole.
Suddenly there was terrific ex-
plosion and Kaui was hurled twenty

The - years covered In the table
divide themselves into two periods,
the nrst being the IL years from 1888

the annual net earnings Of the rail-
ways Increased about 100000. 900.
there was a decline of about rs per
cent In freight rates. This was in
line with what is expected and what
generally has resulted from great
strides in industrial progress. But
with 1899 came great change. In
that year the annual net earnings Of
the railways began to increase rapid.
ly. and since then they have increased
almost $500. 100000. and the net earn
ings for each mile have increased
more than 60 per cent. Have the
freight charges decreased correspond
ingly? Glance at that colmun OF ton

rates have entirely ceased to decline
and that consequently the people have
| been denied for more than decade
any share in the profits resulting from
the immensely greater volume OF traf-
ice and the rapidly Increasing net
earnings of the railways. For IL
years the freight rates fell steadily.
and then all at once the decline was
checked and the railways began to
withhold from the public all the bene-
fits resulting from their new prosperi-
ty and new methods. being enabled to
do this through the tremendous con.

upon which the railway magnates
must depend to prove their conten-
