Wharf WASTE Barred

Hi!D. All OF this new work Will be OF
zOud, permanent construction. The
Hilo wharf authorized by the last
legislature is Of wood construction.
but there will be no more Of this kind
Of construction if the harbor board
carries out its present determl natlcn.
The territory does not have to buy
wharf sites at lilo and kahulul, the
,hree sites mentioned in Honolulu be
ing the only ones where an outlay is
required.
Tonnage Tax Plan Favored
Another big feature of tho plans
talked over yesterday is that of put
ting the wharves on a self-sustalnlng
basis Some time ago the tar-Buile-
tin announced that the harO0r board
had taken up and approved plan for
charging Il tonnage tax OF Hawaiian
cargoes. This plan has be IN adopted
by the board with the provision that
it should be referred to the CONNER
cial bodies of the islands, rs it in
wolves the commercial interests di-
rectly
Governor Frear approves the plan,
il was said after the conference yes
terday. Commissioner James Wake
field, who was appointed special
committee of one to take up this
matter and whose report was ubmit-
ted and adopted some time ago, said
this morning that if the WhaTTes are
placed on a self-snStaining basis, the
territory in twenty years can pay for
the construction cost, the maintenance
and stih have the splendid permanent
wharves as public asset.
The details Of the plan have not
been entirely worked out. For in
stance, the tonnage tax may be charg-
red only on incoming Cargoes, in
which case something like ten cents
a ton would be imposed II charged
on both incoming and outgoing car
goes, the tax might be five cents al
ton.
Shipper Wharf Tax.
Involved in this plan is the abandon
ment by the commercial interests
here of the shippers wharf tax, a vol
untary tribute paid by merchants on
incoming cargoes. This tax was plac-
ed unofficially by the commercial in
terests TO provide an emergency fund
in case of epidemic and to furnish
funds for promotion and similar work.
In case the tonnage tax plan is adopt
ed, the board fayors doing away with
the unofficial shippers wharf tax.
The question of the legal ability of
the territory to impose tonnage tax
has come up, and the harbor board
has asked an opinion from Attorney
general Wade Warren Thayer. Hell
has not yet had time to formulate an
opinion, but the commissioners pri-
vately express confidence that theI
territory can impose this tax. 1t isl
pointed out that California has adopt
ed similar plan. r:-
From now until the legislature con-
veness the board of harbor commits
sioners, the encouragement and the
governor will be. busy whipping the

data and recommendations into shape
for the solons to consider. Governor
Frear, It Is expected, will make his
recommendations On the subject in
his opening message. Bills will be
drafted to carry out the plans for tho
undertaking. One of the things TO be
done Immediately is to draft a bill
putting the Wharves on a seIf-sustain-
ing and independent basis.
In the amount of money involved
and the radical changes in public
policy that will be made, the board
plans as indicated yesterday consti-
tute the largest single undertaking
that the Territory has considered for
long time.
Other Matters Taken Up.
ObjectioEs and suggestions for mo-
difications, made by the owners of
launches, who were backed by Cap
tain "eeCen, of the Matson steamship
L'1rline, caused a delay yesterday in
the adoption of the proposed regula-
Il ons gov erning the movement of yes
g els in Honolulu harbor, and a num-
ter of changes will be made in the
Jules. They were referred back to
HarborTnaster Foster for revision in
several clauses.
The launch owners objected strenu-
oHsly to the clause limiting the speed
Of small craft within the harbor to five

endorsing their protest, declared that
tie tugboats and 9th erdiminutive YES

The harbor commission finally con
Sc nted to raise the speed limit for
ST 1all vessels from five to ten miles; an
hour. Harhor Master Foster explain
ca that his idea in asking for the rvIe

Captain Weeden also backed the
tLgboat owners in their objection to
the clause intended to force all sail
ing vessels using tows, to have tie
.tDws alongside instead of ahead TIL
harbor master wanted this rule to
{ top the making of flying bertha
which he said frequently resulted cis-
to other shipping and to the
Piers.
The owners claim that owing to the
congested condition along various
piers at certain times it is impossi-
BILE for a sailing ship and her tow to,
draw up abreast in a slip, and tina:
the only way Of making the berth is
by the flying switch method Cap
tain Weeden explained that this sys-
tenn is as old as the history Of ships
and is employed everywhere. The har.
bormaster was instructed to revise
the regulations in this regard.

job was awarded to A. A. Wilson, on

Markham and Mcclellan out of the
party at the meeting of the committee
tomorrow night. Nothing short of that
will be sufficient punishment for the
failure of these men to obey the spirit
and letter of the pledge they all took
when they received their nominations
! at the hands of the convention and
Democratic party last summer.
AT that time they signed a pledge
to abide by the rules of the party and
to accept all recommendations OF the
county committee on questions of pat
ronage. This pledge they have wilfully
several times, and they maintain their
attitude of indifference to the recon-
mendatio1s of the county committee,
and the demands of the. rank and file
of the party they are supposed to be
representing On the board. ... ~
From purely non-partisan stand
point there is nothing to be said
against this attitude Of the three, but
from q party mans point of view on
a straight party platform. by an cleo
torate that desired a change, we are
bound to give the city and county
partizan administration. The obligar
lions incurred by all candidates elect
ed on the Democratic ticket are equal
and are not to be avoided by honor
able men," ..-t 49, .,3 -.
1t is also stated that the members
of the special patronage committee,
appointed by the county committee, on
a motion of .Soapbox Barron. is in,
censed by the refusal of the 'insur-
gents" to heed the recommendations
of Whittemore and Carter for the posi-
lions held by Whitehouse and Thurs
ton. In view of the fact that four of
the seven members of the patronage
committee were not members Of the
county committee the action of the
insurgents is regarded as direct slap
at the whole Bourbon party in Oahu.
All of which indicates that the split
in the Democratic ranks, predicted by
this paper some days ago, already has
come about. T.;
$50 we are to be read out. of the
Democratic party" snorted Supervisor
Markham this morning, when told of
the statement made by Paeheco.
well, I'm glad of it. Pacheco and
that lot are anxious to get US out be-
cause we will not submit to dictation
from them. That's all there is to this
last tempest in the teapot" 49,, i
"Oh, they are going to read McClel-
Ian, Markham and Petrie out of the
party, are they?" grunted the mayors
private secretary, William Miles.
We'll, you can say to Mr.. Pacheco that
he is not running the county commit
tee, much as he may think he is and
that the committee will not hear of
such action. Why,s4he,s crazy!"

MumInies Make Paint.
CFrom Tit-Rits.)


In order to furnish the innumerable

ransack the world. Even mummies
have lately been called into use.
Mummies are usually preserved in
the finest bitumen, and this ancient
bitumen has, in the course of centuries
turned the mummies leathery brown

the bitumen and the shreds of mum

beautiful brown pigment is the result

The majority Of pigments for max
