when the members of the Palama I'M

tions, while Albert Waterhouse spoke
directly I'm favor Of the frontage tax

point of chairman of the roads com
mittee. Senator Achi started the ball
rolling against the frontage tax law
by saying that, If now enforced, the
assessments would be first lien on
property and ahead of any mortgage.
He claimed that, under these cireum.
stances, the poor man would be un.
able to borrow money on his property,
for the banks and monied men would
be loath to lend money. More than
so per cent Of the houses In Homo.
lulu today, he set forth, are built with
borrowed funds. He spoke OF the diff
ference In improvements In the fourth
and fifth districts, saying that the best
way out of this difficulty would be
for the supervisors borrow $400, 00O
on bonds and use largely in the
fifth district. He poi led out that the
interest on this amou would be $16,.
900 and that, If Inn proved property
would rise in value until the tax there
from would easily offset this. His
remarks were principally along the
lines OF what the fifth district has not
received at the hands Of the super.
yfsors during the. past several years.
While not entirely condeming the
frontage tax law, he appeared to be
more In favor Of the proposed bond
ing system until the fifth district is
on the basis as the fourth.
Achi Ably Answered.
Senator Achi was ably answered by
Albert Waternouse, who spoke in ia.
vor of enforcing the frontage law. At
the Offset, he said that there was no
argument against the proposition that

the iouFths district has had more
money and more improvements than
the fifth. The question now, he said,
is how these conditions may be right
ed in a fair and Just manner. He
said: +Ig.-...s
"Mr. Achi said that conditions in
the United States differ because the
frontage tax is introduced in practi-
cally new communities where every
thing is started on an equal basis
This may be true in the West, but in
the East and Southern states the
same problem is being and has been
met as that facing Honolulu today.
The frontage-tax law in those dis
tricts has thus far proved a success,
and the property is constantly in
creasing In value. / am not entirely
convinced that a bonding proposition
is not the best Aehi says that the
supervisors need not to be afraid to
borrow $400, 200, as the increased tax
would pay the interest II all works
back to the beginning. 1t is a ques-
ton as to which district works the
hardest for it's community and has
the first chance / am not convinced
that bondage system would not be
the best way. 1t has been tried out
in other cities. -.-...- -.'
Need Of New ideas.
"A man said to me the other day
that Honolulu has too many kama
ainas, and that it should have more
malihinis who, with their new ideas
about such matters as we are discuss
ing this evening, would soon show the
people how to make real city out
of Honolulu. There is no reason why
we cannot get these new ideas our
selves and put them through. There
is no argument against the question
that things have got to change. The
one big advantage which the street
improvement idea has over the bond
ing system is that the hustlers, are
working for their own districts. The
law says that the work must be Raid
for by the district in which it is done.
The fifth district can hustle too, but
1t must pay for the work done.
am little afraid concerning that is
sue of 100000 worth of bonds for
the city and county. Would your nr-
ganiZation be able to overcome the
enthusiasm of the club at Kaimu1l

THAW'S PROTEST Is LAID
BEFORE SOLICITOR FOLK

The protest of Harry X. Thaw. which
was sent to the State Department by
Senator Oliver of Pennsylvania, was
taken under consideration yesterday by
Joseph w. Folk, solicitor OF the depart
ment.
Solicitor Folk is having made an ex-
animation of the treaty which Thaw
claims was violated in his deportati
by Canadian officials, and it is expected
that a decision will be rendered this
morning.
The Thaw appeal probably will not be
referred to the British Embassy. il was
indicated at the State Department The
general opinion is that the department
will not take the aciOn desired by Thaw.
Who asks that the British government be
asked to explain. The fact that Thaw
is no longer in Canada is regarded as
having an important bearing on the case
1t was pointed out that the deporta ton
of Thaw was practically on the invitation
OF the United States government, which
now is asked to complain to the British
government for the action Of the Cana
dian officials.
The requests o: the then rival Govern
ors of New York SUlzer and Glynn, for
the detention of Thaw, were transmitted
to the British government by the State
Department. The department contented
itself with merely calling the attention

BILL FOR REPAYMENT
OF SEATTLE CITIZENS
Senator Poindexter Wants Claims for
Damages Inflicted by Sailors
Settled.

Senator Poindexter of Washington has
introduced a bill to pay claims amount
ing to between 5000 and $4,000 to citizens
of Seattle on account of damages alleged
TO have been inflicted on their property
in the riots of July IS last, when a mob.
led by sailors. invaded headquarters of
Socialists and Industrial Workers of the
World and their sympathizers and did
considerable damage to private property.
The bill went to the Committee on
Claims. 1t proposes to use so much of
the appropriation as is needed to pay
claims proved to the satisfaction of the
committee.
Senator Poindexter said last night that
the property injured belonged to Social
lists, the /. W. w, and, in one instance,
the book store of private citizen was
destroyed. The injury having been in.
fiicted by men Wearing the uniform Of
the United states, the Senator thinks the
government ought to pay for it.

THAW INDICTMENT REFUSED;
WOULD DISCHARGE GRAND JURY

Poughkeepsie. y. Y, Oct. 2-Following
conference with William TTaveTs
Jerome. District Attorney Conger today
appealed 10 Judge Hasbrouck to discharge
the Dutchess County grand jury. which
has been considering the Thaw case. and
the judge said he would do so neXC week.
The inference generally taken from this
is that neither Thaw nor any one else
connected with his escape from Mattea-
wan has been indicted. 1t is believed
that the whole matter will now be
brought by Jerome before the grand jury
of New York County.
Conger's plea for the discharge OF the
grand jury was the result of a food of
protests from residents OF the county over
costs and the evident inability
of the jurors to find an indictment.
Mr.. Conger stated that District Attor-
ney Whitman. Of New York. has request
ed Acting Gov. Giynn to call upon Attor-
ney General CarmOdy to take charge of
the case, since the parties to the alleged
belong to both counties,

NEW BUILDING URGED

Judge Charles S. Bundy OF the Munich
pal Court is OF the opinion that the build
ing used for the court is in a deplorable

ing made for a new building for the
Juvenile Court should be extended so as
TO include the Municipal Court

most, Of the five rooms in which the
judges Of the Municipal Court sit every
day in the year except Sundays and legal
holidays are at all adequate or suitable
He condemns the narrow halls and stair
ways of the building
He explains that a further reason may
be found for allowing this court its
badly-needed new building in the fact
that its revenues have met all expenses,
leaving a surplus Of $4,000 during the
three years ending June so last, to be
turned into the Treasury. Judge Bundy
says that the full Importance of the
Municipal Court is not generally under
stood, or, he infers, better provisions

OFFICIALS ARE

Stakeholder Says Officers Of

Have Wasted Assets.
MAKES SERIOUS CHARGES
Isaac M. Cate Plans Move to Gust
Directors at Coming Meeting.
Reply Is Awaited.

New York, Oct 2.-Declaring that the
present management OF the American
Locomotive Company has wasted the
assets and earnings of the company,
Isaac NJ. Cate, OF Baltimore, a stock.
holder, has issued a call for proxies to
be voted at the annual meeting. on Oc-
tOber q.
Mr.. Cate alleges that millions of dol
lars have been wasted every year in
paying unduly high prices for materials
manufactured by concerns in which Of
fcers or directors of the American Lo-
cOmotive Company are interested.
The Railway Steel Spring Company. he
declares, sold springs to the locomotive
company at more than 4 cents a pound,
which could have been made by the COM
pany itself for about 3 cents a pound.
AS a result of the mismanagemeQt and
waste. Mr.. Cate says, the net earnings
have decreased in proportion 10 the in
crease in gross earnings in recent years.
He also declares that the abandonment
OF the manufacture OF automobiles. re-
Gently announced by the company, was
contrary to the interests OF those who
have invested in the stock of the COM
pany.
Leigh Best. vice president OF the Amer
lean Locomotive Company. said today
that the directors would issue a reply
to Mr.. Gates assertions.
Mr.. Cate charges that Pliny Fisk rec
commended the preferred stock as an
investment. when there was prospect
that very soon the earnings might not
be sufficient to pay accruing dividends"
He also says that, in 1907 and 1905. the
company dealt in its own common stock.
He declares that he has been informed
that the company pays % per cent more
for scrap iron and Il per cent more for
pig iron than the General Electric Com
pany.
Since W. II. Marshall and ]. McNaugh-
ton became officers Of the company" says
Mr.. Cate, lit is not exaggeration to as
sert that 1t is altogether probable that

pated."
