Mcguire CASE
LEADS TO SUITS
BY THECOUNTY

Especial star Bulletin Correspondence
HILO, May 9.-Long expected civil
suit procedure, as result of the in
vestigation of the Hawaii graft COM
mission, to make firms that cashed
the, unauthorized county warrants in
the Mcguire case, refund money, took
definite form this week when COM
munication to the county supervisors
was read, which asked for permission
to bring action to recover the money
lost by speculations of officials.
Following this request a resolution
was passed by the supervisors at their
second meeting yesterday, authorizing
the bringing of suits in the name or
the county of Hawaii.
This resolution was introduced by
Lyman, and in addition had the sup
port of Kealoha, Yates and Kauhane.
Chairman Ewaliko opposed the resolu-
ton on the ground that it passed "all
the trouble up to the supervisors" He
thought that the commission had full
power to act i'm the matter. Yates eX-
planned that the commission act only
gave them full power to proceed in
criminal cases and that civil suits had
tofbe brought in the name of the coun-
ty by the approval of supervisors.
Passage of this resolution Indicates,
that dhe First Bank of f1ilo and for
mer Treasurer Lalakea are to be de-
PENDANTS in civil suit to recover mo-
ney they paid on the unauthorized
blanket warrants, that appear so pro-
minently in the startling report of the
Audit Company of Hawaii. There are
about twenty others who have eashed
these warrants. Most of them are in
small sums, but they are equally liza

WILL CUPID DEPLETE
SCHOOL TEACHERS
RANKS THIS YEAR?

A general exodus, of the school
ma'ams of Hawaii is threatened this
summer!
This is not deemed particularly SER
ious by the department of public in-
structicn, however, save insofar as
Dan Cupid's rayages deplete the ranks
of the feminine teachers each year,
as all are merely asking for vacation
trips
Approximately 100 teachers, most
ly women, have applied to the govern
nor for permits to journey to the
coast on the T. s. transport leaving
Honolulu on July 5. This method of
travelling is especially popular with
territorial employees because the gov
eminent charges them only a dollar
& day for transPortatiosl anu. meals.
Applications from the school teach
ers have been coming to the COVER
nor's office since early last Deem
Der, although the school year does not
end until June q And of course the
usual percentage of ,denarting femi-
nine instructors will never return
as teachers. It las been figured in
mainland cities. where most OF the
teaching staff are women, that the
educational department loses: fifteen
&c twenty per cent of its staff each
summer through marriage.

Progress for Schools
In school matters, not only was the
law of the previous session, which
with the new tax law put the schools
on an Independent and adequate fl
nancial basis, amended in number of
respects in order to perfect it, but
very liberal appropriations were made
for the public schools. Among other
things, $4,000 was appropriated for
mammal and vocational training, as
compared with $4,000 appropriated
at the previous session, notwithstand-
ing the poorer financial outlook at the
present time. The sum of $261, Jos
was appropriated ont of current rev.
enues for new school buildings, while

three items in appropriation bills
were sustained.
LEGISLATURE HAS CHARACTER
Each legislature seems to have a
peculiar personality or TO be charac-
teriZed by certain leanings or by
work in particular directions. The
legislature Of 1911 was characterized
most perhaps by numerous health
bills of an advanced nature, a new
taxation scheme,' the placing of the
schools on an independent and ade-
qnate financial basis, and the proyi-
sion for extensive public improve
ments out o, 10th loan funds and
current revenues The present leg
islature has branched out more than
any of its predecessors into political,
industrial and social fields.
Brief reference may be made to
several groups of laws on as many
subjects.
Besides these groups there were
enacted a number of important laws
of special or isolated nature, such
do llAObGr IOT lnt
position, the preparation of a Hawai-
ian dictionary, and new annotated
compilation and revision of all the
laws now on the statute books.
Preparatory to this compilation many
laws have been passed for some ses
sions back in order to clean up, as
IT were, by repeating laws which
should no longer cucumber the stat
ute books, and amending other laws
in order that there might be greater
harmony, particularly in view of the
institution of local governments.
There are, also. other important laws
that belong to more than one group.
Foremost among these is the COM
prehensive act for the opening of
new streets in the city of Honolulu.
This belongs TO the groups that have
to do with the public health, public
works, the development of local gov
eminent, finances, and city improve
ment and Identification. Closely

ELECTION CIGARS VARY
GREATLY IN PRICE

HILO. May 9.-Not everything, In
the work of the investigation commits
sion is of a serious nature, neither
is the price of election cigars held to-
any settled figure. Occasionally some
thing of a humorous turn crops up in
the work of the Hawaii probers. One
of the latest concerns campaign
cigars, hence the Introductory com
ment in reference to that staple.
The commissioners recently ran
across a letter written to a county OIL
cial during the campaign OF 1910 II
was from Honolulu tobacco house
and enclosed receiDted bin for one
hundred cigars at eighteen cents per.
After extending thanks to the official
for payment, the writer adds the fol-
lowing postscript:
ut would give us pleasure to sup
ply anything in election cigars, which
we can always furnish from 81 per
hundred up"

THE chimes Of NORMANDY IS
WELL PRODUCED At PUNAHOU

Greeted by large and appreciative
audience which filled every seat in
the big Charles r. Bishop Hall, the
members of the Oahu College Drama
tic and Glee Club gave their first
presentation of "The Chimes of Nor
mandy" the opera in three acts, last
evening
Weeks of active rehearsing and pre-
paration caused the play to go off
without a hitch, and those who had
charge of the affair, as well as the
students who composed the cast and
the choruses, are to be congratulated
on their success in making the per-
Torrance the best of its kind ever at
tempted by the members of the col
lege The musical end of the per-
Torrance was perhaps the best fea-
ture of the production, many of the
principals responding to numerous
curtain calls. Solos by Allan Renton,
Reynold McGrew and Vernon Tenney
were exceedingly well rendered. Miss
Helen Latham, who will be remembers
ed as having been member of the
cast of 'The Tourist" and Miss Louise
Churchill also rendered solos and re.
ceived encores.
One of the most difficult parts in
the entire play and one that necessi-
tates clever acting in order to bring
out the necessary effect, was that of
Gaspard, the miser, the character be-
ing played by Dixon Mott. 1t is a
character in which the actor must
combine comedy and pathos and still
be able to hold the attention of his an
dience. Motifs acting and makeup
were excellent and he repeatedly re-
ceived encores which he acknowledge
ed in quite novel manner. The vii

cut Of lean funds. This means a
considerable increase in taxes. To
provide so literally cut OF current
revenues for new school buildings,
certainly speaks well for the legisla-
tire and augurs well for the future
OF the schools OF Hawaii.
In addition TO the provisions for
new school buildings, considerable
sums were appropriated out of cur
rent revenues for other buildings and
for wharves. and the loan bill for pub
lie improvements was amended by
striking out or reducing many items
OF less Importance and inserting or
increasing other items of greater i'm.
portance chiefly for wharf and harbor
improvements, which will prove of
great benefit 10 the territory. In con-
sidering expenditures for public inn
provements.- the large amounts ex-
pended annually out of current rev.
enues by the territory for homestead
roads and other purposes out of spec
ial funds, and by the counties for
roads and other purposes out of the
road taxes and the one-sixth of one
per cent tax on real and personal
property should not be overlooked.
FINANCES CARED FOR
Scarcely any sa3Ject is OF greater
importance in some ways than that OF
finances; for this underlies all gov
ernmental activities This has pre-
scented most serious problems ever
since the institution of local govern
ment in this territory In no legisla-
ture, however, since the organization
of territorial government have finan-
cial matters been handled more
smoothly, easily or satisfactorily than
in the last legislature. The bonded
Indebtedness was kept down within
very reasonable limits; likewise the
appropriations of current revenues.
AT no time, perhaps, have the ap-
preparations been passed with less
successful pulling and hauling for per-
scnal or local interests or with more
consideration of the general interests,
and perhaps at no time have the ap-
preparations been made in more cor
rect proportions relatively to the vari-
Gus needs. What is perhaps most
gratifying of all is the constant
growth of the recognition of the rela-
tive spheres of the territorial and
local governments While there are
still efforts to appropriate territorial
revenues for all sorts of local pur-
poses. the efforts are growing weaker
and weaker and being overcome more
and more easily with each session.
A comprehensive act was passed for

GHOST DISPOSED OF.

HILO, May 9-That a make-believe
ghost is not sufficient to cause court
to set aside a decd of sale is the de-
cision in the fourth circuit court, al
though the long decision makes no
reference to nightly visitors from
the other world. This is the result
of the long drawn out legal battle be-
tween Souza and Mrs. Soares. Mrs.
Soares, as plaintiff. asked the court
to set aside a deed of sale. She said
she had sold her place at very low
figure because she thought it was
haunted. The court has returned a
verdict in favor of the defendant.

First, the political group. The Aus
tralian ballot system and a corrupt
practices act were passed many years
ago. In 1911 the permanent registra-
tor act was enacted This session,
after unsuccessful attempts at the two
preceding sessions, a direct primary
law was finally passed. This follows
somewhat the Berkeley system, which
is perhaps the best Of the many forms
of primary laws 1t probably is not as
good as the preferential system of vot-
ing which was embodied in bill that
failed TO pass, but the failure of which
Is not strange, considering the novelty
Of the system II will doubtless come
in due time, Civil service laws were
enacted for certain branches of the
territorial and county governments. 1t
is to be hoped that these are the fore
runners of comprehensive laws on
this subject in the near future. Cor
porations were forbidden to make con-
tributions directly or indirectly for po
litical purposes. Separate elections
were provided for in the counties, al
though a bill for this with reference
to the city and county of Honolulu
raiied to pass. In 1907 elections at
large were provided for the city and
county of Honolulu; in 1911, for the
county of Maui; and this session pro-
vision was made for the election at
large of the chairman of the board of
supervisors in the county of Hawaii
and for the election of three supervi-
sors in east Hawaii and three in west
Hawaii, instead of eleoting all seven
from the different districts. Last ses-s
sion provision was made for the ap-
pointment instead of the election of
deputy sheriffs by the sheriffs in the
counties, and this session a similar
provision was made for the city and
county Of Honolulu. Thus gradually,
piecemeal, the county and city and
county governments are evolving in
the direction of the best forms of local
government on the mainland 1t is
true that no provision was made for a
