If we don't have an early winter, we
may after all see a new depot here be-
fore the snow flies. After long wait
for material, work is about to be begun
on the structure. A number of car
penters, with their foreman and also a
mason foreman and crew of masons
have arrived. The workmen on the
ground now have commenced to pre-
pare the timbers, and it is to be hoped
that the building will be completed
without any further delays.

Lack of orders, said to be largely due
to the partial failure of the corn crop
in the southwest, is responsible for a
shortening of the work day to eight
hours at the Mandt wagon works, the
new schedule going into effect in all
departments of the plant Monday. The
output of the plant for the past year
has probably been the largest in its
history, but for the reason above
named, as we'll as because of conserva-
tive trade conditions all over the coun-
try, the selling organization of the Mo
line Plow Co. has been unable to dis
pose of the products. Just how long
this slackness will continue can not be
stated.

Aloha and farewell 10 Senator
Hewitt H.. .......~
Il desire. TO, express my sorrow at
the death of Senator Hewitt, said
Senator Judd, after the resolution had
been approved. II knew our deceas-
ed brother well. Together We worked
on the same committee, and though
he was a man much older than me, |
found that the. difference II age was
no barrier between US. We worked
together in harmony. found him al
ways willing TO listen to suggestions
| might have to make, and the fact
that | was his junior by many years
did not make him the less willing TO
consider my advice or suggestions.
an sensible of the heavy loss We have
sustained in the death OF Senator
Hewitt, whose work in this BODY can
not be too highly praised.
Senator Wirtz moved that the vote
on the resolution be taken by silent
vote, which was done, every member
present rising.
The part 20 be taken by the sem
ators in the last rites over the body
of their colleague cannot be determ-
ined until Mrs. Hewitt arrives from
Waiohinu. She is being escorted here
by Senator Metzger.
If &c uncertain whether q
successor will be elected to fill the
vacancy for this session. A forty-day
proclamation notice Is required, which
if Immediately issued, would allow
mis- successor about fifteen days in Of
flee.
The death of the senator creates a
new lineup of party forces, the Demo-
Gratis now having seven, Republicans
six, and one Home Ruler, making
fourteen remaining senators.
In the legislative history of the ter
ritory this is the first death which has
occurred while a legislator was IN
office. In the first session. Repre-
sentative A. Chiffon died between
sessions, and Senator Frank Harvey
of Honolulu died between his first
and second session. Senator Moore
died in San Francisco after the last
session of the legislature, having
worked through the first session.
Senator Hewitt was born N Car
thage, New York, sixty-fiye years ago.
After nine years experiences on the
Great Lakes as engineer, ne came to
the Pacific coast, and in 1879 he came
IN the Hawaiian islands, taking a
place as engineer on the Princeville
plantation. Because of his faithful
work and ability. he was mace man
ager of the Naalehu, Honouapo and
Hilea plantations. In January, 1904. he
was admitted to the bar IN the lower
courts. and in September or the same
year he was nominated by the Re
publicans of Hawaii for senator, and
since that time has held office, hay
| ing given up the management of the
plantations in the interests Of his
party.

than could be justified. 1t was not
until August of 1912 that Fisher
found occasion to tell of his suspi-
cions to anyone. and then, during the
time that the auditors books were be-
ing inspected by the Audit Company
he states that he advised Auditor
Field TO pay especial attention to Ly-
mans books. 1t was as a result of
this tip so Fisher maintains, that
Field got on the right track for fur
Their Investigations Fisher declared
this morning that this discrepancy in
the report of Lyman as secretary of
the liquor commission was the only
thing on the records of the territorial
auditor that pointed to a condition of
graft in Hilo, and that his suspicious
of Lyman were not certain enough to
enable him tFisherb to make a writ
ten charge against him. -... =.
Does Not Favor Accounts Bureau.
When asked as to the remedy for
the present condition, Fisher declared
that the board of supervisors must
have neglected their duty or Mcguire
would never have been able to cash
demands on the county upon which
the board of supervisors had pass
ed. He stated that, in his opinion. a
bureau of public accounts, specially
founded for the purpose of auditing
both county and territorial returns,
would be expensive and that law
giving the territorial auditors office
power to examine the county books
would probably meet the difficulty
An additional auditor would have to
be added to the office for this purpose,
Fisher said, and travelling expenses
would have to be allowed him. An
other reform that Fisher suggested
was that claims against the county
should be paid by the treasurer and
not, as is now the case, by the county
auditor. The auditor should record
al! claims and keep record of them,
but they should be presented for pay
ment at the treasury. Fisher explain
ed that the present law regulating the
forms to be used in auditing county
expenses was modelled after the laws
of certain California counties in 1905
and that they were now in need of i'm
provements and amendments, although
in principle, he declared, they are
perfectly sound and workable.

FISHER DECLARES HE HAS
NO POWER TO DO AUDITING

Declaring that he has no more DOW
er to examine the books of the county
auditors than a private citizen, Terri
torial Auditor ]. III. Fisher this morn
Ing acknowledged that runners of the
muddled and incompetent condition of
County Auditor Maguire's books had
reached him previous to the time that
the examination Of the books was or
dered. Fisher stated that there was
nothing definite that had come to his
office regarding the condition OF Ma
CURES books, and that there was moth
ing in the reports of the auditors of
the counties definite enough to make
him take action. The only things
that had come up to arouse his suspi-
clans, he said, were reports that the
county officials in Hilo were living
beyond their salaries and that their
books were in confused condition.
He stated that the law gives him no
power to go through the books of the
auditors of the counties and that any
charge he might have made which was
not based upon actual facts would
have laid him open to libel he de-
clared that the only return made by
the county auditors to his office are
the yearly returns giving a summary
Of the financial condition of the coua-
ties, which returns, he said, are made
up into table by his office for The in
formation of the legislature. There
was no way Of arriving at the actual
condition of the books of the different
auditors from this blanket statement
Fisher stated. He declared that, since
the territorial auditor has no power
to examine the books of the county
auditors, it is not his business to run
10 earth all indefinite rumors that
may spring up in any part of the ter
ritory at any time. '.....s -"..:
Attention Called i'm 1911. :<... =
Fisher explained that his attention
had been drawn to the condition of the
accounts of Rufus Lyman secretary
of the liquor commission in Hilo in
July of 1911. He declared, however,
that the, granting of liquor licenses
was at this time taken from the terri
torial and given to the county author
tiles. When representative from the
office of the territorial auditor called
at Hilo in September of 1911, the mon
ey collected for the licenses was found
to be on hand. although number of
the payments were reported as having
been made five or six months later

ed on Territorial Auditor Fisher at
his office with these documents and
asked him if he had on file the origi-
mails OF these yearly reports. These
he produced, and Mr.. Fisher and
examined the originals with the re-
ports which / brought with me and
which afterwards turned out to. be
carbon copies of the original reports
in the possession of the territorial
auditor. We checked together the
discrepancies in. the cash balances AS
reported in my supplementary report
read before the Hilo board of trade
and with one exception only there was
absolutely no variance in the figures |
have quoted and the figures Mcguire
had reported to the territorial audit
or. This one expection related to
North Kohala in that the balance re-
ported on December 81, 1908, had
been merged in the balance as of jan
uary /, 1909, or in other words Ma
guire had Jumped certain sums to-
gether which prevented any itemized
check being made. The territorial
auditor when l drew his attention to
these discrepancies in the cash bal
ances informed me that he was not
authorized under the law to make any
audit or investigation into the figures
appearing in these annual reports and
as he had not done so, in the matter
OF these annual reports dating from
the commencement of county govern
1f1o nj ~ n ~ a hat
actual discrepancies In cash balances
existed. So far as the appropriations
without authorization from the super
visors were concerned. this was
matter which the territorial auditor
was cognizant of. looking to the fact
that he heard my reports which
read before the board of trade Of
Hilo.
Figures Suspicious
TO say the least, these variances
in cash balances constituted a very
grave matter and when coupled with
the unauthorized appropriations, which
| positively stated had been made,
there was no telling to what extent
an audit of the accounts of the county
OF Hawaii would disclose defalcations
and other irregularities"
Fisher Said System Was Simple
After Mr. Fishers return from
Hilo, the Honolulu press went fully
into the matter of the territorial re-
sponsibility for county audits, and at
that time Mr.. Fisher was quoted as
saying that the county auditing is
not up to me" Also, in comments
in regard to the bookkeeping system
of the county, he was quoted as say
ing that he had installed the book
keeping system of the county and fur
