1t appears certain that Delegate Ka-
lanianaole will not leave in the Mon
golia tomorrow to return to his duties
in Washington There is doubt even
that he will make up his mind to take
the Wilhelmina on Wednesday.
His immediate encourage in the
assault on Governor Frearis candidacy

worried over Kuhio's staying away
from attendance on Congress while
most vital matters affecting Hawaii
in tariff legislation are hanging in the
balance. Those who back FreaT, like
those whose concern is mainly public
interest, are beginning to evince open
indignation at the Delegates absence
from Congress to do his own politics,

lively asserted today, to induce him
to return as speedily as possible to
the fighting line for Hawaii's inter

Kuhio left his residence for town
shortly before noon today, but had
not got into conference with the
chiefs of his cause up to the time
this is written--a few minutes before
the Stars press hour. From one Of
these, as we'll as from a member Of
the Republican central committee,
however, it is learned that the Dele
gates departure in tomorrowis out,

1t was announced late this afternoon
that Kuhio would deliver an address

LILIES
COME TO MARKET

Territorial Market Superintendent
Starrett isn't in the habit of receiving
gifts of flowers from Hawaiian admir-
ers and so he was a little bit sur
prised this morning when, after dis
mantling a pile consisting of a few
dozen crates of eggs, he came upon
several large tubs of Easter lilies.

lows up there?" he exclaimed. I'VE

Then he saw that the flowers We're
addressed to him from the Volcano
House, and were to be put on sale,
although he had not expected the con
signment.
The market superintendent returned
from his trip of inspection at the

and expressed himself as very well
pleased with the prospects for onions
over there.

Is In Port

The p. M. S. liner Mongolia, Cap
tain Morton, from Hongkong, Yoko-
hama and other Oriental ports,
docked at Alakea wharf at 1870
o'clock this afternoon. The passage,
according to the ships officers, was
uneventful and the weather cool, but
pleasant. The Mongolia brought 1947
tons of cargo for Honolulu, eleven
cabin passengers and III Asiatics in
the steerage. She also brought forty
seven bags of mail for this port.
There are on board 1OS through pas
sengers in the cabin, twenty-eight
second-class and eighty-two steerage,
besides SAT tons of through freight
in the hold.

The Star
Is Moving

The Star has begun the unpleasant,
but welcome process of moving into
its new home on Merchant street. The
transition period will probably cover
a week or more, since it is necessary
to derange the business of the office
as little as possible.
This morning some of the job
presses were moved and by Monday
they will be set up and running on a
big job which will require several
weeks work. Several new presses
bought by Manager Timmons while in
the East have arrived, and are also
being installed
1t will probably be another week be-
fore the newspaper machinery proper
is transferred, but everything is being
got ready for this, so that when start
ed it can be put through with the least
possible delay.
The Stars new home is a model of
convenience. 1t is the only newspa-
per building in the Territory, built
for the purpose to which it will be put
When finally settled in the new quar-.
ters, the Star will have facilities that

The Mahuka site case will go 10
the jury about $3.50 o'clock this after
noon, if the lawyers finish Sheir argu-
ments as soon as was anticipated at
the time court was dismissed for its
noon recess.
At that time L. j. Warren was in
the midst of his argument in reply 70
Breckons. He stated during the re
cess that he expected to consume
about fifteen minutes more in his
address. After that Attorney Olson
was to make his concluding address,
after which Judge Dole would instruct
the jury and commit the case to their
hands.
Most of the morning was taken up
by United States District Attorney
Breckons in his argument to the jury.
Mr.. Breckons was entertaining, even
to the attorneys opposed to him and
much of the time he kept broad
grin on the faces of the jurymen, as
he dwelt sarcatstically upon the quail
ifcations of the witnesses for the de-
fense to pose as real estate experts.
Breckons paid particular attention
to the testimony of r. R. Reidford,
the star expert for the defense. He
went at considerable length into the
testimony given by Reidford and pro-
ceeded to ridicule much of it.
Mr.. Reidford, said Breckons, was
right; he was always right; he in
sisted upon being right, and nobody
could persuade the gentleman that he
was not right, no matter whether he
was right or not. Nothing could
change his opinion after he had once
given it. If he said a thing, it must
be so.
Then dropping sarcasm, Breckons
openly challenged Mr.. Reidford's dis
iuterestedness "Mr. Reidford,' he
said, was not a disinterested witness
If he succeeded in fixing new and
high standard of values for Honolulu
real estate in this case, he would be
able to write back to Boston and
claim that he had established a stan

culiar way. have no doubt that IL
instead of testifying for his principal

mind would work in such a way
that he could conscientiously state
that the value of this property was

length into the details of Reidford'.

.ALLOTMENTS TO THE COUNTIES
Of ESTIMATED YEARS TAXES

When asked this morning what he
thought of the $2O,OOO,OOO increase in
the tax assessments of the islands,
Governor Frear said that he thought
the county people should be very
pleased.
"The law says that property should
be taxed up to it's full cash value. The
unwritten law is that all persons
should be taxed the same, according
to the property they own, 1t should
be fair all around, and no one should
be taxed more than anybody else"
The governor added that If the tax
rate produces too much the county
governments could reduce the rate
later on. A saving in running eX-
penses might be made, and the pro
portion for permanent improvements
might be increased.
On the new assessment basis as
computed by the board of equalization,
the city and county of Honolulu VIII
receive $3.50, ,472.25, which amount is
considerably more than that of last
year. Oahu gets two-thirds of one per
cent of the general assessment.

INVESTORS AFTER
KAPPA LANDS

Colonel Spalding was again a caller
on the governor this morning, and the
matter of the leasing of the four hun
dred-acre tract near KAPPA was taken
up for discussion. 1t is quite possible
that another concern besides that
projected by j. o. Lutted, may bid
for the lease of the pineapple lands.
The land is to be leased on the con-
dition that a cannery be established
by the persons securing the lease.
The governor said that out of the
four hundred acres there are three
hundred and eighty acres of good
pineapple land. The remaining twenty
acres are waste land.

DIR. MCCOY BACK
FROM HAWAII

Dr. Mccoy returned from Hawaii
this morning, and at once started in
to work on various jobs that have been
awaiting his arrival The doctor re-
ports things as going on smoothly
along the Hamakua district. Rats are
being captured daily, and tests are be-
ing made for plague germs.
81 am glad tha, l remained the ex-
tra week at Honokaa as l have gath
cred a lot of data concerning the last
case that ended fatally. The source
of infection has not yet been traced,
however, and l will probably be re-
turning to Hawaii within a cuple of
weeks from now"
1t is the intention of the health au.
thorities to do more laboratory work
at HonokEa than has been done in the
past. Rats and mongoose will be eX-
amined thoroughly, and the tests will
be kept up for some time.
DR.. Mccoy brought some specimens
back with him this morning, and he
will work on them today. The plague
patients who, from time to time, have
been found, all show the same symp-
tons as regards the swollen glands in
the neck. 1t Is this phase that is baf-
fling the doctors, as no such symptom,
it is said, has been noticed anywhere
else.

AVOID DANGER
FROM GERMS

Public offices may now be supplied
with a toilet necessity which will not
only completely Danish the offensive
laundry bill but which will also assist
in observing the laws of sanitation
and cleanliness.
This convenient article is a paper
towel, which is guaranteed not only
to dry the skin but also to remove any
danger of carrying infection from one
to another, as is often the case where
a common towel is used by many. In
many states the use of the roller or
other common towel is prohibited by
law, and in other states where a law
is not in effect public sentiment de-
mands the abolition of the germ
breeding and infection carrying aid to
Cleanliness"
1t would appear that the use of
some such an article as the paper
towel, which is destroyed when used,
is more necessary in Honolulu than
in almost any city on the mainland.
The original paper towel, the Scot
Tissue, is being introduced into the
Territory exclusively by the Ameri-
Ican-Hawaiian Paper Company.

RATIO OF COPPER
AND IRON STATISTICS

Or. James Douglas, dean OF the cop
per producing industry. has prepared
some figures for the Engineering and
Mining Journal. which set forth over a
series OF years the ratio Of copper con- :
sumption 70 pig iron consumption
During the sixteen years from 1896 TO
1911 inclusive. the average ratio as ap-
piled to United States was one ton OF
copper to 81 tons OF pig Iron. while dur
Ing the fifteen years. from 1895 to 1910
inclusive. the worlds consumption OF cop
per was as one ton to 79 tons of iron.
So uniform has been the proportlonate
use OF these metals the world over that
the ratio OF copper consumption to iron
consumption has never risen above II
nor fallen below 1.Se. Prof Douglas
says:
"'lf. therefore. there has been a de-
Inand for copper In the ratio OF one ton
Of copper 10 70 tons OF iron. and " that
ratio is to be maintained, the measure
OF value OF copper must be measured
by the capacity Of the worlds copper
mines TO keep pace with the demand for
IRON and the capacity of the worlds iron
mines TO meet the demand
Viewing tho worlds source Of supplies
OF rich iron ore compared with the world 8
scanty sources Of supply of correspond
inSly rich copper ores. the visible supply
Of iron Is in excess of the visible supply
OF relatively rich copper ores; and, there
fore, a lower grade OF copper ore must
be steadily drawn upon TO supply the
world e increasing demand. and this de =
mand, II provided from leaner and still
leaner ores. can only be satisfied al what
certainly VIII not be q low price"
