We're going to have a cleanup
week this year, whether there's any
money forthcoming to haul the debris
away or not. Wen get the dirt out
of the back yards and hidden places
and put it out on the streets where
the board of health or the city au-
thorities will have to take 1t away"
This statement was given this
morning by a member of the Central
Improvement Committee in answer TO
a report that the proposed municipal
cleanup would be called OFF on ac-
count of the fact that the chamber of
commerce and the board of health
are both sidestepping the matter of
digging up funds for handling the
tons Of refuse which will have to Ee
disposed of,
ARRESTED for putting the trash in
the streets?" the improvement man
repeated the query in substance.
"That will be great, for Wen have
about everybody in the city in the
same boat. One thing is sure, they
won't be able to put us in Jail, for
the lockups in the islands wouldn't
be big enough.
"No, we're going TO have this
cleanup, and, If there is trouble about
transportation, It will be one Of the
best object lessons We can have of
the need of a free garbage collection
system, There isn't going to be any

THE TITANIC INVESTIGATION REPORTS
Native High
Chief Dead

High Chief A. X. Palekaluhi, the
son of the high chiefess Liliha, a
lineal descendant of Kamehameha-nui
king of Maui, died this morning at
his residence at Kalihi.
Deceased was: 81 years of age. The
funeral will take place Friday morn
ing from the undertaking parlors of
H. H. Williams, under Catholic church
auspices.
Palekaluhi used to carry a watch
that had been presented to him by
some notable person, which had his
initials and the rest of the letters of
his name enameled on the dial to
mark the hours, the number of the
letters being twelve, instead of the
usual Roman numerals. In his prime
he was influential in local politics.

This automobile has been
seized for taxes.

If you should find one Of these days
that your automobile is decorated with
one of these signs, that the wheels
have been chained together and that
a stern faced deputy is seated in the
car. you will know what to do, for it
is a hint from the tax Office that you
have not paid your auto tax.
For the automobile tax is overdue
and the signs are part of a device by
which the Treasurer intends to collect
automobile taxes from one hundred
and fifty automobile owners of the city
who have not as yet paid their one
cent a pound due the territory.
Several hundred of them Te being
printed this week by order of Terri
torial Treasurer Conkling and a gen
eral distribution will take place some
time next week or perhaps sooner,
In former years, according to Mr..
Conkling, it has been next to impos.
sible to collect this automobile tax
owing to the fact that the tax office
had nothing to go by except the own
ers word and many of them disclaim-

NEWS REPORTS MAKE EXCITEMENT

The Mahuka site case suddenly be-
came interesting this morning, chiefly
on account of the visible excitement
of the expert witness, James w.
Pratt, and the attorneys for the vari-
GUS respondents. The cause of their
excitement was the stories concern
ing the previous days session as
published in the Star and the Adver-
tiser.
Witness Pratt was so excited that
he couldn't testify sitting down; he
had to stand up in order to get more
room for action Mr. Pratt explained
at great length that though he had
said what the papers said he said
yet he didn't mean It. In other words
he had been sadly misunderstood II
was true that he had made the state

the Hawaiian Trust Company had
any claim against the government anC

BUILD OIUP The CIGAR
TRADE IN HAWAII

Ten thousand clear Hawaiian cigars,
made from the best grades of Kona
grown tobacco, are expected to arrive
by the Siberia on Friday from New
York. They are coming consigned
to Jared G. Smith, the pioneer to-
bacco grower, who ordered the goods
made up by a prominent firm in New
York during his visit there recently.
The cigars will be placed on sale in
the local retail trade.
"I think we shall be able to build
I'D quite a business with the Hawaii
On cigars right at home" said Mr..
Smith in talking about the matter
this morning. at is like any other
new thing-the trade has to built up
and l believe we cannot do better
than give our own people chance
to help us advertise. J want to keep
a supply on hand here constantly
hereafter, and I contemplate a fac
tory for making the cigars locally.
The fact that the Hawaiian tobacco
taken to New York, both by Mr.
Smith and by the Kopa Tobacco
Company, has not met with ready
sale, is explained by Mr.. Smith on

Bipartisan
Combination

The following bipartisan ticket foe
the municipal legislative body has
been handed to the Star, it's author
declining to present names for the
various department heads:
Mayor. J. Fern.
Supervisors-Wm H. Mcclellan, ].
c. Quinn, H. H. Plemmer, D, Logan,
Jno. Markham, R. w Aylett, C. N.
Arnold.
1t may be stated that the proposer
is a Democrat, who considers that the
mayor and three supervisors for his
side and four supervisors for the 9th
er side would be a fair deal. He also
pointed out to a Star reporter that
his ticket contains four supervisors
of experience and two new ones -
Markham and Plemmer-who would
be likely to find general acceptance.

had failed, but he didn't mean it Just
that way and didn't think the papers
should have said he did. What he
really did mean was that whatever
claim the Hawaiian Trust possessed
had no marketable value; it couldn't
be sold.
"You mean, then" said Breckons,
that the only one they could got any
money from was the United States:"
Mr.. Pratt became more embarrass-
ed and explanatory than ever, but
when he got through the only infer
ence to be made was that the Ha.
waiian Trust Company had no claim
that it could hope to sell to any
body but the Government.
The various attorneys for the vari-
GUS respondents also paid their com.
phments to the newspapers. In fact,
IT was newspaper day in the court.

Park Grove

Punchbowl is held by the federal
government as a military reservation.
A number of attempts have been made
in the past by the promotion commit
tee and others to have the weeds and
brush cleared out of the crater, with
the idea of converting the big bowl
into a handsome park, but military
red tape has thus far prevented this
being done. A considerable portion
of the interior of the big bowl was well
covered with a fine growth of algaroba
and comparatively little work would
have been needed to make the place
one of the beauty spots of the city.

NEW JERSEY CAMPAIGN
Women to Build $4,000
Church and School House

The Women's Auxiliary of st. An
Grew's parish will undertake the work
of raising $4,000 to provide for the
building of a church and schoolhouse
for st. Peters. This announcement
was made at the Episcopal convoca-
tion this morning.
No certain plan for the raising OF
this amount of money was announced
but the men of the parish knowing
what the Auxiliary accomplished for
st, Marys during the past year say
they feel no doubt as to the outcome.

arranged to entertain the local and
visiting clergy at dinner at the Pa
cifc Club tomorrow night

the ground that the Hawaiian supply
Is too small at the present time to
attract much attention, and from the
fact that it is absolutely unknown
"There are plenty of manufactur-
ers," said he, who spoke very highly
of the leaf, and who would be glad
tc make use of the tobacco if we
cared to make them a present of it.
They recognize its merit all right,
but don't care to pay what it is
worth, because It is unknown and
would have to be advertised in or
der to get it started"
1t is this feature of advertising that
Mr.. Smith is confident Hawaiian to-
tacco needs more than anything else.
He believes that putting the cigars
on the local market is cne of the best
means toward this end. Especially
should this be effective, he thinks,
with the large and increasing army
population, which, if it can be edu-
Gated into using Hawaiian cigars, will
do much toward creating a demand
on the mainland, just as the army
has done more to introduce Manila
cigars throughout the United States
than any other thing.

AUTOMOBILES WITHOUT TAX
RECEIPT TAGS MAY Be SEIZED

ed ownership of their machines, when
it came time to pay the tax.
But this year tags have been issued
by the treasurer's department. These
tags are issued to owners who have
paid their automobile tax and are then
attached on a conspicuous part of the
car.
All automobiles that do not bear
these tags are liable to seizure at any
time, no matter who is driving ct the
time or irrelatively to their owner
ship, as Tax Assessor Wilder gave pre-
liminary warning of, through the Star,
week ago.
Policemen and deputies have orders
to seize any automobile not bearing
the tags. The owner will then be mo-
tilted and the automobile will be held
for ten days, after which it will be
sold for charges.
The owner can redeem the machine
by paying a penalty of ten dollars
plus the regular tax, but, if after ten
days the tax is not paid the car is
advertised for sale and the machine
is then sold at auction.
Then If there is any portion of the
purchase price left after deducting the
tax, cost Of advertising AMI the neces
sary papers involved in the sale, II
is returned to the original owner OF
the automobile.
