MOST LOVINGLY

Once more the spot light played
lovingly upon the figure OF Super
visor Wolter last night. Indeed
1t was twice more for the matter ui
that for on at least two occasions did
the hotel-solon get the full meetin'
The first time, came, as the Star Bull
Ietin predicted Il would, when he at
tempted to get through his resolution
providing for general increase in the
pay of day laborers employed by the
city. He wanted to give them % cents
an hour. # ~ -
Just as this paper foretold, Super
visor Cox was also on the ground
with resolution which would have
placed the Bourbons of the board in
/ the unpleasant predicament Of quash,
ing a bill for increased pay intro
duced by a Republican, or of passing
the measure, either of which alterna-
tive would have gone most sally
against the grain.
VOTERS resolution got there first,
however
Followed then a funny situation,
which ended in Wolter postpon'
ing his own resolution by making
a motion to have ii referred to ttt'
Legislative committee of the board. In
the mean time Petrie had opposed
the motion on the ground that 1t
would vastly increase the expenses of
the city and that he favored going
slow in such matters. until two dol
lar men might be found to fill the
places of men worth but a doliAk and
a half
Wolter also questioned at some
length Mr.. BalleDtyne, manager
Of the Rapid Transit company. The
supervisor was filled with interroga-
tons. He wanted to know this and
he wanted to know that, but chiefly
he wanted to know why the Rapid
Transit company keeps up the tracks
in Alakea street makai of King.
The examination finally wandered
to the question as to whether If rail

bridge to keep drunken men from fall.
ing in the water, should not people
who wore shoes with heels be pro-
tected at all times from tripping on
street car tracks? and then a roar of
laughter from the other superI isor:
and the audience, broke up tho en-
animation. Mr. Ballentyne said that
the tracks stick up because the street
has been worn down and not kept in
repair.
Petrie informed the supervisors that
the road committee deemed il neces-
sary to purchase two new steam roll
eTs, and moved that the clerk be re
qnested to call on the Lynch Com
pany and the Honolulu Iron Works

SUPREME COURT AWARDS
THE TERRITORY $868.41

In a decision handed down yester-
day, the territorial supreme court
awards the territory S86S.41 in judg'
ment against the New York Life In
surance Company. though the amount
sued for was $2.S02.32. The suit
brought by Deputy Insurance Commits
sioner Henry C. Hapai, arose over a
question Of what should be allowed
the company as legitimate expense.
The latter is taxed on its net income,
but it had charged off an item as eX-
pense that Hapai considered improper
ly placed in such category. He insist
ed on taxing the company 2 per cent
on that item. the tax amounting to the
sum sued for.
The decision is regarded as a vic
tory for the company. 1t is said the
company has been paying the tax pro-
tested since 1906, and that now it may
take the matter before the Legislature
and ask that the total of these pay
mems be refunded.

essary funds can be found readily.
1t is now generally believed that the
fire OF last Wednesday started from
one of two former blazes Thicn occur
red the same day and which were not
reported to Manager Johnson. The
news of these earlier fires came out at
the inquest at Pahoa last Saturday.
Archie Hapai. police officer, ana
Moody, a Chinese foreman, together
with several minor employees, testified
that they had discovered two incipient
blazes in the sawdust just outside the
oil storehouse about o'clock that
evening. Using water and fire extin-
guishers they had barely put out the
first when they discovered the second
q few feet distant, which they also
stopped, as they thought.
The two Japanese wa:chmen discov-
cred the third fire. They saw light
under the sawmill, and when they
reached that point they found the
flames creeping up the side of the oil
room. The fire was not then very
large, and they tried to put it out
without calling assistance. They failed,
and before the general alarm could be
given, the flames were beyond control.
