CORPORATIONMEN
KEEP TAX BOARD
ON A LONG WAIT

The tax equalization board was in
session in the judiciary building from
9 o'clock till 1880 o'clock this morn
ing waiting to be waited upon by the
large number of corporations which
had been notified that their tax re
turns had been raised, and which
we're presumed to be anxious to argue
the matter with the board Not a
single plantation representative put
Il, an appearance. The board will be
in session again this afternoon, tomor-
row and Saturday morning, during
which time it is still possible that
some of the invitations will be ae.
oepted. 1t may be the policy of the
big companies, however. to waive ar
gument now, and to appeal from the
assessment to the courts when the
time comes. "@ ...
The board spent the time of waiting
this morning in discussing various
matters of administration policy and
Of needed legislation for the improve
r'ent Of the tax department 1t was
practically decided that a fixed rate of
5 per cent should be paid In the future
to bookkeepers or cashiers of con-
Germs employing large numbers of la.
horers, as commission for collecting
the personal taxes of the men under
them -.@ p, t~~
The matter of having the time al.
lowed after the assessments have
been fixed, for filing notice of appeal
changed from 80 days to Is Gays, was
faVorably considered, and will prob
ably be recommended to the governor
as a matter for legislation. The rea-
son for this change is that Is days
would be ample, and that rs it is no
appeals are ever filed until the last
day of the time limit. A shorter time
would expedite matters %--~-
The matter Of changing the time of
fixing the tax rate for the year was
also discussed at further length. and
it is likely that the governor Will be
advised that the rate fixing should be
Gone in March, after tie TAX returns
are in and settled upon, instead of be-
fore the 31st of January, as the law
at present provides The rate is now
based upon the valuations of the year
before, which makes it impossible to
more than guess at what the rate
should be.

ANOTHER Plan
FOR UNEMPLOYED
PROVES failure
Associated Charities Refuses
to Consider Suggestion OF
Civic Federation

Deciding TO take no further action
until receiving the opinion OF Cover
nor L. z. Pinkham. the members OF
! the executive committee OF the Assoc
ciated Charities at their meeting yes
; terday afternoon voted to table for
further consideration a proposition
submitted by the Civic Federation TO
provide work for the unemployed in
Honolulu.
The proposition to provide work
was submitted to the committee by
]. NJ. MeChesney, president of the
Civic Federation and chairman of the
parks and highways comntiltee OF that
organization. 1t outlined plan to
put to work the unemployed on that
tract of land along the Nuuanu stream.
known as the Liliuokalani Gardens
and controlled by the federation. The
original plan was to convert the place
into a Japanese garden, but II is un-
derstood that sufficient interest could
not be aroused in the local Japanese
community &c carry out the project.
The tract now is considerably over
grown with weeds and bushes, and
ii was the idea of the Civic. Fedora
ton that the unemployed might be
put to work clearing the place.
When the proposition was submit
ted, it was pointed out to the commit
tee that the federation had no funds
on hand to finance the undertaking;
that is, to pay the laborers for their
time, and suggested that the chart
ties undertake this end of the matter.
The charities, however, while appar-
emily in favor CT the plan, thought II
best to take no action in the matter
until the opinion of the governor is
received Gil the matter of the present
labor situation, and voted to table the
federation's proposition 1or two weeks
at least, after which it again will be
taken up for consideration.
When seen this morning and asked
as to his idea in the matter of the As

Dickey, treasurer of the federation
suggested a public charitable sub
scription.

that, while the association considers

part Twice she tried to Civ their
money back and get them out but
failed. Once, she said. she was drawn
frcm the back room by the sound OF
scuffling, and found Marshall on the
ficor with three men on top Of him.
Her husband, who is member Of the
Honolulu police department, helped
her TO straighten out this tangle, and
Marshall was eventually driven from
the house She said that as he at
tempted TO get into his car some
members of the party tried to drag
him out. but he managed to escape
them and hurried away in the ma
chine .-. -
He came back shortly afterward,
entering the house by the side door,
which leads into narrow rear hall
and thence to the main hall. Guert-
Ter. she said. was sitting across the
main hall, taking no part in the fes,
tivities. Marshall said he wanted to
see Guertler, and insisted on talking
to him. 4 was with some reluctance,
asserted the Woman, that Guertier
went cut to see Marshall. His com
panions followed him.
A scuffle ensued. She rushed to
Guertler. seized his arms and tried tc
drag him back, ami Marshall reached
under her arm until his revolver al
most touched Guertler AID then pulled
the trigger.
She also said that the Guertler par
ty came to her place with large
amount CT liquor She declared they
seemed to have it in for Marshall
and were continually cursing him,
whether he was present or absent
She said. however. that Guertler was
a non-combatant throughout and that
she did not see him take drink.
At no time since the murder has the
prisoner made any public statement
in the nature of an explanation or III
defense. A. A. Wilson and other
friends have reiterated the belief that
he was not in his right mind. one
peared mentally unbalanced for more
than wear nricr to the shooting, and
that love affair with Young woman
on the mainland was thought to be
the cause CT his worry and mental
difficulties.
Moses Pnaki. husband of Madam

force, and as result CT the murder,
pressure finally was brought to bear
on Sheriff Jarrett compelling him to
order the hula resort closed How

FEAR DR. SMITH OF BRIDGEPORT IS A
 GERMAN PRISONER

Apprehension for the safety of Dr. Dorland Smith, of 653 Warren street, who left for an extensive trip through out Europe and Asia and was to join his sister, Miss Jane K. Smith of this City, in Berlin on July 2S. is felt by the many friends of the couple1 in Bridgeport today.

 25. He was then to make hurried trip to St. Petersburg, return to Berlin, Where he had arranged by telegraph to meet his sister, Miss Z1nk, A1ad her aunt, Miss Wolff, also Of this city. He was then to proceed to Constant tinople and, in company with a New York surgeon was to perform a large num- Der of delicate cataract operations in India, where he has heretofore oper- ated upon a large scale under one of the worlds most famous specialists
 Additional fear for his safety was felt this morning., when advices that an American of the same name had been reported in London as having been apprehended by the Germans on the border of their country upon a charge of espionage. This charge is fortifcations are caught snap-shotting spots that are considered strictly nni1- itary preserva.tions
