Answer
Honolulu. ApHl Is.

nOuOlulu, ApNi 1os
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin,
Sir: Referring to the reported
statements of Mr.. w. r. Castle pun.
lished In the Advertiser of Thursday.
the 18th inst, while we do not be-
iieve that Mr.. Castle would wilfully
misrepresent the facts in connection
with the Hawaiian Electric Company,
nevertheless we feel called upon to
make the following reply:
Mr.. Castle states that four years
ago he learned that the Hawaiian
Electric Company was furnishing
light to people in the lower part of
the city at rate which would war
rant them in abandoning the use Of
gas which they knew to be cheaper
than electric lights at IL cents a kilo-
watt, and that the Chinese and Jap
anese were being charged but six
cents a kilowatt while he and others
were required to pay seventeen cents
e kilowatt.
This is not the case and If he fully
investigated this matter, as he says
he did, we ask him to produce evil
dence where in any instance the Ha-
watian Electric Company has ever
sold Chinese or Japanese, or any
other nationality, electricity for light
ing purposes at six cents per kilo-
watt.
Mr.. Castle states that the Chinese
and japanese consumers were given a
discount of IL cents per kilowatt In
consideration of their burning each
16-cp. light two kilowatts or over a
month and that no such discount was
allowed to consumers other than the
Chinese and Japanese. This again is
not the fact. Take the Honolulu Gas
Company, for instance, OF which he is
president, and as such should be some
what familiar with its business condi-
tions On January IA, 1907, the Homo
lulu Gas Company made application
for electric lighting service for its gas
works. This company, although Won
dering why it was necessary to illumi-
nate gas company by electricity,
gladly accepted this business offered
by the Gas Company and installed its
meter and charged for its service at

WATER FIGHT
WILL GO TO
N|GHEST COURT
Electric Company Ready tc
Submit Contract on an
Agreed Statement

The Hawaii Electric company's
contract with the territory to take
water from Nuuanu will probably go
to the supreme court on an agreed
statement of facts.
This is the latest development In
work to which it was called Thursday,
red Nuuanu citizens up to the point
where they have protested strongly
against the contract.
Castle & Wilmington, 1t is an
nounced today; have been retained By
number of residents OF the affected
section and an agreement has beer
secured with the electric company tC
test the legality of the contract.
The company will be allowed with
out further protest to lay the four-inct
main to the curbing on Queen street
but will make no connections with iti
own pipes leading to the boilers. The
streets will be replaced in proper con
6ition and the contractors laying the
main, Lord Young Engineering Com
pany, will be paid. Meanwhile thu
contract will be submitted to the su
preme court on the agreed statement
The company takes the attitude
that, having entered into the contrac
in good faith, it is entirely willing Il
have the agreement tested by an i'm
partial tribunal.

Massmeeting Called to Awaken

Confronted by pending Legislation
on the social evil. and with one bill
now before the senate attempting to

Honolulu have called mass-meeting
for next Sunday evening at the Bijou
Theater, when the questions will be
laid before as many. people as can
crowd into the big auditorium
The mass-meeting has been hur-
riedly arranged by several prominent
citizens who declare themselves
against any plan that will attempt to
legalize vice, and some of whom are
actively In favor of the abatement-by-
injunction plan submitted to the SEN
ate In the first "red light bill The
second red light bill introduced yes
terday. providing for. the regulation
of the social evil, and the report that
third bill Is to be introduced as
compromise, has stirred these citizens
to call a mass-meeting. The hour VIII

the preyailingates. We refer Mr..
Castle to the 5 Company's bill up
to'the present te as to whether they
were not allow the usual discount
for consumptiopf electricity In ex-
cess of kilowa per 16-c.p. light per
month. Mr.. Gle states that the
minimum chargfor service is 81 per
month to some Snsumers. while the
Chinese and Jahese enjoy q much
lower rate. If k.statement is true,
then to be cSistent Mr.. Castle
should not hayeA Afd, as he has, the
company its minum meter charge
of 81 per montfkhen the consump-
tion of electricity his residence has
been below the nimum charge of 81
per month, but buld have insisted
on the lower ratehich he claims ex-
lists.
The statement hat the Hawaiian
Electric Companyoffers some con-
sumers a 42-cps light with the
privilege of usinall the light he
pleases is, again d the fact. Under
the original francle granted by the
Monarchy it was grossly stipulated
that this company hould allew flat
rate of one dollarIer light for each
light burning up IL o'clock at
night. The Chinel. and Japanese
business in the 1der part of town
was built up on ts basis long be-
fore the gas comply came into ex-
istence. We haveinformation that
when the gas comp% started in busi-
ness they solicited business among
the Chinese and Jatnese consumers,
guaranteeing bettt light than cleo
trio light at so ces per light per
month. In the facOf this competi-
tion the electric copany refused to
lower their rate of one dollar per
month to meet this tmpetition. The
Hawaiian Electric dnpany has al
ways been, and is sd, willing to ex-
tend this flat rate toIny consumer
Referring to Mr.. 0stle's statement
that he has not paid lis bill for four
years, and had tried h best to get the
company to sue him. This we admit
but it was not becaus we thought OF
believed that our rateiwere unjust OF
discriminatory. We bieved that as
president of the gas mpany he was
trying to draw us intda public fight
We knew that Mr.. Gale was a man
of financial responsibility and felt that
he would ultimately pa the bill.

GOVERNOR EXPLAINS
STATUS OF MEASURES

Disclaiming authorship OF the bill
yesterday introduced in the legisla-
ture by Senator Baker for the purpose
of the segregation of the social evil.
Governor Frear, In an interview with
q Star-Bulletin representative this
morning, emphasized the fact that he
is responsible for and in favor of the
abatement bill previously introduced.
The governor is in favor of any segre-
cation plan, he explained, only in case
II is found impossible to pass the
other measure
The governor said:
Senator Baker has been entirely
consistent and frank throughout. He
introduced the abatement bill at my
request but stated at the same time
that he favored segregation. He is in
no way responsible for the abatement
hill. alone am responsible for that.
Later he asked that bill be drafted
based on the segregation idea and ]
referred the matter TO the attorney
general, who had such bill drafted
for the senator He had his bill
drafted as he has drafted or had
drafted by his deputies many other
bills for members of the legislature
in his official capacity for members Of
a coordinate branch of the govern
nent. In such cases, of course, thu
bills in no sense are to be regardes
as favored by either him or myself.
II seems to me, however, that W
should have one thing or the othef
Now we have neither Either Yi
should prsceed or the theory of stan
ing out the evil as far as that can
done. or we should proceed on the tn
ory of segregation, which is in reali
the only alternative; but if the lator
theory is adopted it should not be-
any half way method. If the aba
ment bill is not passed, perhaps
