ExTRADITI0N PAPERS
FOR GERTZ HON0RED

The extradition papers issued by
he governor of California for the re-
turn to Sacramento of Otto Gertz, a
native son of Hawaii, were honored
this morning by Governor Frear and
warrant for the arrest of Gertz was
issued from the governors office. The
warrant was placed in the hands OF
Sheriff Jarrett at noon today Gertz
is wanted in California on the grounds
that, after serving three months Of a
Two years sentence for failing in the
support of his child, he broke parole
and is therefore fugitive from JUS

executive and not judicial, is not final

Counties to Borrow After
PIebiscite Vote

Legislative financiers will soon have
a chance to consider new bond plan

appearance In the house OF represen.
tatiyes.
According to the plan as briefly out
lined by Chairman Norman Watkins
of the house finance committee, the
counties viii be authorized in this bill
TO issue bonds for specific purposes,
providing the bond issues are approx
cd when the project is submitted to
the people. In other words. the pro
posed issues would be passed upon at
plebiscites, as is now done in San

that If the bill is favored In the legis
lature, the plan Of having the counties

longer be followed.

MINISTER'S BACK
MARRIAGE
BILL

Eve, the ministers of the city of
Honolulu, do hereby petition the leg
islature to pass House Bill No. 49,"
At a special meeting of the ministers
of the city, which was called by the
Cooke Hall, Young Mems Christian
Association building. this afternoon
at one o'clock, the foregoing resolu-
tion was drawn up and passed upon
and now awaits the signatures before
being presented in the legislature.
House Bill No. 1S1, which is now
pending before the legislature, pro-
vides that all couples applying for a
marriage license must first have in
their possession certificates from
creditable local physicians showing
that the contracting parties are in
good health. Through the drawing up
of this resolution, practically every
minister Of the city, regardless of ma
tionality, has joined in the fight for
the passage of the instrument in the
Legislature. The meeting of the minis
ters this afternoon was more or less
of formal nature.
Another matter of business which
mas taken up following the adoption
of the resolution was the result of a
suggestion whereby the churches of the
city hold special prayer service next
Sunday relative to the disaster which
Is now sweeping the central states.
II was further suggested that the
churches take up a collection next
Sunday, the proceeds of which would
be devoted to the aid of those who
sic suffering as the result of flood and
fire in the district of the United States
above mentioned. This matter was
discussed at length and will be re-
ferred to the various ministers for
their approval

HOFFMAN SEEKS
50.YR ELECTRIC
FRANCHISE

A measure to permit the manufac-
ture and sale of electric lights in H0-
nolulu was introduced In the senate
this morning by Senator Coke.
The act specifically gives Theodore
Hoffman, civil engineer of the Young
Hotel, the privilege of furnishing cleo
trio lights and gas In the city for a
term of fifty years. after the act is ap-
proved by Congress.
The bill allows the supervisors OF
the county to make reasonable rules
as to the manner of the erection OF
poles, conductors, conduits and other
regulations, and limits the amount to
be charged by the Hoffman company
to twelve and one-ffalf cents per kilo-
watt hour for electricity.
1t also permits corportion or asso-
citation to be formed for the purposes
OF carrying out the work.
The bill Is long one, covering four
teen pages. 1t was ordered printed
after passing first reading.
The morning session of the senate
$fas busy one. Beside five bills be-
ing introduced, two by Senator Wirtz,
one by Senator Judd and one by Sem
ator Coke. seven were sent to the gov
ernor after passing third reading.
These all went through without
much discussion. The only one at all
questioned was S. B. 46, which pro-
yides for the refunding of money
wrongfuily collected as merchant tax,
II remained for II. B. IS. on second
reading, which Is an act providing for
and limiting the expenses of the cir
cult courts. to raise the only argu-
ment. Several of the senators resist
ed the legislative act which would
tread on the authority of the supervi-
sors to fix the salaries of the judges
and clerks Of the circuit courts. But
after objections had been made, and a
few changes, the bill managed to get
passed on second reading.
The hold-oyer committee put in its
second report on the general and cur
rent funds of the territory. 1t is a
long printed book and displays the
careful work of the committee in gath
ering the necessary data and figures
for It.
Senator Judd, who introduced it on
behalf of the committee, stated that it
was the last report of the committee.
He expressed he appreciation of the
committee for the work of Secretary
Mott-Smith in aiding them.

BILL MIGHT HIT
RAPID TRANSIT

Coming Unexpectedly, hardly more
than "a hours from the time a public
hearing will take place on the two
measures before the senate for the ex-
tension of the Rapid Transit and Land
Company's franchise, a bill was intro
duced in the senate this morning
which may have a material bearing
on the final disposition of the two
measures.
Senator Judd introduced this bill
He stated afterwards that he had done
so "by request" Speculation among
the solons was rife as to the author
of the measure. In the end it was
generally agreed that it was indited
by the governor, though Senator Judd
refused to verify the sepposition, stat
ing that he preferred to wait until the
proposed act was printed.
II was not for some time after the
bill had been introduced that the law
makers awoke to the fact that new
angle of attack had been commenced.
The bill itself, at casual reading, does
rot seem to be of much consequence.
il does not mention the name Of any
particular railroad or ear company. It
simply amends the present law so as
to make 1t unlawful for a railway com
pany, operating other than by steam,
to travel at a speed greater than 20
miles an hour, which is about five
times as fast as one walks.
After the preamble. n which it is
stated that the bill is amendatory of
section 2 Of Act SIS of the revised laws
Of 1907, it reads:

speed of any such company's rolling
