Notes From
Capital City
Special Correspondence.
HONOLULU Oct. 81.

One of the most amusing features
of the local campaign is the attempt
of the friend of Sam Parker, Attor-
ney Breckons, to make it appear
that the genial candidate for mayor
atty has more than IL modicum OF
brains. The effort in behalf of
Sam is made through the columns
of the Advertiser, in the form of a
daily interview on all of the subjects
which may confront the head of a
.lunicipalty-and more. One might
suppose that official had the direc-
ton of form of government for the
territory, for the frequent reference
to government by commission
would Intimate to the ignorant
voter that the position of mayor of
honolulu, which carries absolutely
,one of the duties of that position
anywhere in the world, is one Of
any responsibility aside from receiv-
ing pay envelope.
Another amusing feature is the
statement by Charlie Hustace that
he is responsible for the form of
county government which the ter
ritory does not enjoy" at the pre-
mt moment. Charlie entertains
ne crowds at the fishmarket, along
the wharves and on the barrel of
! e" perity," at the McCandless

been had, are themselves more or less
responsible as they insisted upon
absenting themselves from treatment
too often, and did not observe their
doctors instructions aSd commands
with the fidelity that is requisite in
the treatment of any case. OF the
twenty four whose cure appears
certain, eight have already been dis
charged and the others will all leave
the home within the next two
months.
This report of Doctor Sinclair's
is to have vital effect on the anti
tuberculosis campaign which is daily
growing stronger and reaching with
a sure hand to further corners of
the Territory. This campaign as
Doctor Sinclair has already explain
ed to the readers of the MAUI News
is attacking the disease at two yul-.
,nerable points. The first of these
is the conditions that spread the
infection and the second is the
patients who spread it. The fact
that cure seems certain when the
case is not too far advanced, adds
considerably to the hope enter
tained that this last method will
lessen the infection considerably.
Each patient is a source of infection
and each one removed from con-
taminating influence with others, or
trained to conduct himself without
danger to his friends is one source
less.
Two important points will be
made by Doctor Sinlair in his
coming paper before the Hawaiian

MakaWaoH Has
Treasure Hunt
Six thousand Dollars Alleged To
Have Been Hidden Years Ago
By miner"

DurlnB Cno laSJ TWO weeks q lake
treasure-hunt story has been Great
ing sensation among the people of
upper Makawao, a few of whom
have given credence to it while
many have accepted it at its face
value as a practical joke.
The following account of it may
prove interesting: About a fort
night ago three laborers Ca Portu-
guese, u japanese and native
luna) while digging up tree-stump
in the rear of the old residence at
Lilikoi, Makawao, unearthed a
sealed bottle in which was discov-
cred paper upon which was writ
ten in Hawaiian this startling mes
sage:
Dig fifty feet from here in a
southeast direction five feet under
an orange tree and you will find
$4,000 in gold.
EDWIN MINER"
Immediately the cupidity of the
men was aroused and finding two
orange trees at the designated spot
they began excavating around one
of them at furious pace-but
found nothing. AS night was ap-
preaching they decided to postpone
the work around the other tree un-
til next day. In the morning to
the great surprise of at least two of
the trio it was found that the tree
had been undermined in Japanese
fashion during the night and wheth-
er the treasure was found or not
nobody knows.
The first rumor, was to the effect
that the Japanese had found the
gold and fled the country, but upon
inquiry at the Haiku cannery which
now owns Lilikoi, it was learned
that no japanese had left the en-
ploy of the company at the time in
question, and it was further stated
that the whole affair was practical
joke played upon the three men by
some Hawaiians.
However to give color to this
treasure-trove story-it is stated by
George Miner of Makawao, the son
of the aforementioned Edwin Miner
who was a well-to-do Englishman
and former owner of Lilikoi, that
he George Miner) believes that
about the year 1858, his father did
bury $4,000 in the vicinity of the
Lilikoi house, and that also an old
Spanish employee told him that his
father edwin Miner) had buried
the money near the orange trees
but that he (George) had put no
credence in the statement in as
much as he later found the Spaniard
digging for the treasure on hill
lower down. This Lilikoi story as
well as one relating to $4,000 buried
long ago at Puuomalei have caused
at different times much labor to be
lost in searching mother-earth for
buried treasures.

HAMA, Oct. 31.-Big Bill Coelho
came to Hama this week with his
troupe of Artists, and gave an exhi-
bition of Democratic fireworks. He
and his company of singers and
spielers were well received. All
that was lacking was the moving
picture!
They spoke at Hamoa, Puuiki
and Kipahulu on Sunday-Monday
morning at Kaupo, back to Nahiku
in autos, where they had luau all
to themselves. From Nahiku to
Hama and speechifying in front of
Aiona's.
They could sing some, and after
every speech they sang some more.
Weeping Willie" of course, was
all smiles, and he looks for big re-
turns on-November 5Gh-election
day.
Hama will now drop into deep
sleep, and will awake on the day of
election, SO the wise ones say, in a
new uniform. God Bless the Irish

BNLARGlNG HOTEL.
The Aiona Hotel is being en-.
larged. Host Aiona is now putting
up a new Annex of six rooms, with
bath and toilet in each room.
There will be broad lanais on either
side, with billiard and pool room
at the back of the building for the
guests. Mr.. Aiona intends to pur-
chase large tourist car in the near
future,to accommodate the increas-
ing tourist traffic from the Hale
akala Crater to Hama.
During the past three months 200
tourists have made the crater trip
-Makawao to Haleakala, Haleakala
to Kaupo, and Kipahulu to Hama,
where some take the steamer and
others, who prefer to make the
ditch trail from Hama to Keanae
and Kailua, where an auto ride can
be made to Wailuku in quick time.
The ditch trail, for scenery, has
no equal in these Islands. The
many beautiful waterfalls along the
trail and the awe inspiring view of
the Keanae Valley from an eleva-
tion, makes a lasting impression
upon the weary travellers.

ATTORNEY GENERAL
 GIVES HIS VIEWS
Advised Secretary Hodges on Submission of Constitu-
 tiOnal Amendments.
HIS RESPONSIBILITY ENDED
Voters in Recent Election Are Unconstitutional,

 Little Rock.-Attorney General Il. L. Norwood declared that in his opin. ion a majority of tn electors voting in the election must vote in favor of an amendment for it 10 become a part Of the constitution. He also said that only three amendments could legally have been submitted at the last gen. eral election. If he is upheld in these two opinions, Amendment No. 1S, which limits the legislature to, 2. 50 day session, probably will be the ohf-- amendment to be adopted. However, Mayor Charles E. Taylor, who is in terested in the bond amendment. says he has consulted eminent counsel, and that he is not afraid this amendment will be knocked out in the courts.
 The attorney general declared it was his opinion that Article 19, Section 22 of the constitution would govern in the matter. This section provides that if majority of the electors voting fin such election adopt such amend ment the same shall become part
 
 was nothing in Amendment No. 10 to the constitution in conflict with this provision. That it must be admitted that the rule laid down in Section 9 of Article 19 applied to an amendment submitted by the general assembly, and certainly there would not be one rule as to measures submitted by the legislature and another rule for those initiated by the people. He said that in construing the amendment that We should keep in view the constitution as it was at the time the amendment was made, and that the words with reference to every other part so as to preserve harmony in the whole in stant.
 If the attorney general is correct in his opinion, it appears that Amend ment No. 13 is the only act or amend ment voted upon by the people that was adopted.
 In further discussing the matter he said that he did not think that Amend ments Nos. If and 15 could have been declared adopted if they had received a majority of all the votes cast at the election. because they were i'm properly submitted; that Article 19, Section p of the constitution provides that only three amendments shall be submitted at the same time, and that Amendments No" II and 12 were sub mitted by the general assembly, and that Amendment No. 13 was initiated before Amendments Nos. IA and 15.
 The attorney general was asked if he would bring any kind of proceed ings to prevent the amendments front being declared adopted that were i'm properly submitted or did not have the necessary number of votes. He said that he would not do so; that he discharged his duty when he advised the secretary of state to refuse to certify to the Election Commissioners Amendments Nos. IA and 15, and that he was not going to assume that the speaker of the house of representa- tives would declare amendments adopted in violation of the constitu- tion, but that if they were declared adopted, the question would not be closed and could be raised at any time in the courts
