The Capital News has frequently
pointed out thHt every essential con

able to a return to the period Of high
eat prosperity of the nat ion which
existed ia 1907, the banking oondi-
tion alone being unsatisfactory, and
we have charged that this is true for

That the Capital News was not far
from right Ia It's attitude assumed

CITY CHARTER
PLAN MUST GO
TO CONGRESS
Law Experts Hold Powers of
Superintendent of Public
Works Are Affected

Honolulu will have to go to Congress
for Endorsement of any municipal
charter which contemplates taking
over from the territory powers given
under the organic act and not to be
affected merely by territorial legisla-
tion. In particular, the present pow
erS vested i'll the superintendent of
public works by the organic act and
relating to franchises, etc, cannot at
once be turned over to municipal con-
troll. Congress must approve such a
move, and any new city charter that
includes the transfer of such powers
from the territory to the municipality
must be given congressional indorse-
ment.
| Such is the conclusion that proml-
nent members of the committee of
twenty-five. now at work on the pro-
posed short-ballot or commission form
of government, have reached after an
uncompieted study of the subject.
The members of the committee have
been proceeding on the principle of
the whole thing or nothing" as they
put it. That is, they think, if change
Is to be made, the city should no long,
er be hampered by the present dual
government and frequent duplication
Of work or clash of territorial and mu-
aicipal jurisdiction. The new charter,
as it has framed itself tentatively in
their minds, would give the city con-
troll of practically everything in and
on the island of Oahu. The city would
lake over the -waterworks and the
lighting plant and would operate and
control a number of departments now
handled by the territorial government
!, Here is where the law experts de-
clare that Washington's approval must
oe obtained; It Is stated that the su-
perintendent of public WORKS has Ger.
tain powers given him under the Or
ganic act that cannot be taken away
and turned over to the city by an act
Of the territorial legislature.
Should this idea be upheld, the next
legislature could not finally determine
the city charter and put it into effect
even If the proposed short-ballot plan
should be adopted and bill to that ef
feet pass the territorial lawmakers.
The bill would then have to be sent to
Washington for approval.

Contest to the will of the late Sen

Francisco by Mrs. Emma H. Hertel.
sister of deceased, says the Yering-
ton Times
Westerfields estate is valued at

Mrs. Hertle alleges that from a
time long prior to the decedents mar
riage to his present widow, in 1904
to 1907, and from 1912 to the day of
his death, October 20. 1913, he was
addicted to the excessive use Of in
toxicants.
Mrs Westerfield. IT is alleged, is

INGENIOUS FRAUD CHARGED TO
LOS ANGELES INSURANCE
CONCERN.

Los ANGELES, Nov 24.-Upon
the allegation that they obtained
money under false pretenses by in
ducing many persons to pay $3.50
for narrow lots perched up in the
mountains back of Lake Elsinore and
valued by experts at 25 cents an
acre, Leon Cory and John F. Ford, ,
Officers of the Mutual Benefit and /
Loan society of this city, were placed |
on trial in Judge Willis court yes
terday afternoon.
According to Deputy District At
torney Veiteh, who is prosecuting the
case the defendants conceived an in
genius scheme whereby to separate
investors from their hard-earned
cash. One instance is given of
widow with four children, who lives
in Bairdstown, who invested" 81
earned by doing washing and then
made up the balance 81 a week.
According to Deputy Veitch, the
plan of the company was to send
agents, mainly into outlying towns.
A person would be told that the com
pany owned a tract near Lake Elsi-
more and after declaring that the lots
were worth at least 500, the agent
would leave coupon with the per-
son which entitled him to drawing.
Later another person would call
with the glad tidings that the lucky
! one had drawn a fine lot and that
the deed would be waiting at the Of
flee of the Mutual Benefit and Loan
society
A call at the office would give the
, successful one an opportunity to
meet the genial Cory or Ford. The
officers always made the representa-.
ton that $3.50 was needed to pay
for the notary fee and the abstract
of title according TO the prosecutor
The receipt entitled each recipient
of an Elsinore lot to membership in
the Mutual Benefit and Loan society
These facts are admitted by the de
! PENDANTS, but they declare the prose
cution does nos fully present thei
position.
Both state that the lots We're sole
for small sum in order to brinl
persons to the office, where the.
could be interested in the loan ant
insurance features The two defend
ants say that by paying them $3.50
! month one is insured against loss Q
health or family and that suitabl
weekly payments win be made to pc
- sons suffering from illness.
Some time ago Detective zeigle
went to the office, then located in
prominent downtown building, an
took the books, papers and the of
GERS of the concern to the police st
ton. No prosecution followed, b.
Cory and Ford never tried to r

isfaetion for the tactics of the Of
