CONFAB
DOESN'T DO IT
Democrats Shake Hands All
Around, but Anti-Jarrett
Resolution BobS Up

There was a harmony meeting
of the Democrats yesterday at noon
in the offices of Mayor Fern.
1t was an attempt to patch up q
truce between L. L. McCandless, the
boss of the party. and Sheriff Jar
rett and Deputy Rose. According tC
reports, McCandless shook hands al
around and Jarrett shook hands all
around, likewise Rose, and all agreed
to eliminate "Soap-Box" Barron and
their own political differences.
On top of this, McCandless ap
peared at a meeting of the Demo
cratic club of the tenth precinct
Fourth district, with Barron.
The meeting passed, according tc
the Star-Bulletin's information, a res
olution directed against Jarrett and
Rose. McCan6fess' and Barron's
presence gave rise to the rumor that
they are partly responsible for this
resolution, but this was denied today
by a Democrat who is no friend OF
McCandless, but who says that Link
is really trying to pull in with jar
rett now that elections coming on.
Anyway, both Jarrett's and Link =
friends are sore.
The Bourbon territorial central COM
mittee will hold a meeting tonight at
the McCandless building quarters,
Pauahi street, to discuss a general
ratification meeting. The Democratic
leaders today declared that Barron,
the alleged disturbing element in the
party. will he emphatically suppress
ed, and one went so far as to say
that he will be elected from the room.
Barron says he has a good right to
go, and that he will go. And the Jar
rett-McCandless fight isn't patched up
yet among the followers OF the sheriff
and the boss ss@s.ss.s s...-sss-. So. ~ -

N. !, LIFE SUES
TO RECOVER TAX

Suit for $2S07.32, the amount of tax
paid to the Territory on business done
in the Islands during the year 1911,
has been filed in Circuit Court against
Henry Hapai, deputy insurance COM
missioner, by the New York. Life In
surance Company.
1t is a dispute arising between the
deputy commissioner and the insur-
ance company over the question of
amount of return premium with which
the former shall be credited. Hapai,
after long and careful figuring, decided
that the sum which the New York
Life claims to have returned to it's
policyholders in the Territory in 1911
was $43,4S3.85 more than the amount
actually received by the said policy
holders, and declined to deduct that
amount from the company's gross re-
ceipts, on which the per cent. taxa
ton is based.
The 2 per cent. tax on the return
premium amounted to $869.67. This
is part of the company's total tax OF
$2S0732, and as a result of the diff
ference of opinion the New York Life
paid up under protest
Now, because of what it asserts is
an error on the deputy insurance COM
missioners part, the plaintiff demands
the return of the entire tax paid into
