WOULD HANDLE
SHIPPERS Wharf
TAX FUND
Merchants Oppose the Present
System; Favor Chamber
Handling Business

That the fund from the shippers
wharf tax should be made part of
the funds of the Greater Honolulu
Chamber of Commerce, and not an in
dependent scheme as at the present
time, is the gist of a resolution adopt
ed last night at meeting of the
members of the Merchants Associa-
tion. The suggestion called for con-
siderable discussion, it being the opin-
ion of those present that the acqui-
sition of such a fund greatly would aid
the consolidation in work where f.
nances would be one Of the first items
considered.
The proposed bylaws for the Great
or Honolulu Chamber of Commerce, as
compiled by joint committee of the
Chamber of Commerce and Merchants
Association, again were brought up for
discussion. The remaining sections
were read and in many cases amend
n ents made and accepted, with the re-
suit that the association now has COM
pleted it's task along that line. In
keeping with a resolution adopted at
the meeting several days ago, at which
time the new bylaws first came up
for consideration, these amendments
are but recommendations to the joint
committee, which committee is vested
with full power to act.

They came in scores, men, women
and children, from all quarters of the
city. to the police station at noon to-
day, there to witness or take part in
the first. public auction sale of un-
claimed property since Sheriff Jar
rett has been in office. The auction
took place in the stable next to the
receiving office The crowd stood
out in the street, some climbed even
to the caves of the structure to get a
better view of the sale.
Captain of Detectives McDuffie
watched the ring he wore for several
months put up. The bidding for it
was keen. The price was run rapidly
up to 5000. and was soon after that
purchased by George V. .Jakins on a
bid of $225. Other things sold were
watches, rings, pins. bottles. odd or

was the sO-called "McDuffie diamond

the street, he pressed what appeared
TO be the glistening barrel of a gun
against the side of the officer. In the
melee that followed. this article was
wrenched from the colored man and

found to have been made of tin and

a firm hold upon the loaded gun be-

pinned to the ground The man is

Once manacled, Lewis was placed
in the hack and the party arrived at
the police station at daylight this
morning. Lewis was searched, plac-

action by the military authorities.
Shortly before o'clock, a call from

.INTTRISLAND OBJECTS TORATES
LEVIED b IIARBOR COMMISSIONERS

meeting this morning, Attorney Hem
enway said that, in the opinion Of the
Inter-Island, the rates now being levied
by the board are unreasonable. He
cited several incidents to show that,
for instance, during the month of De-
cember the steamer Mauna Kea spent
but hours AZ minutes at three land
ings: MacGregor's. Kawaihae and La
kaina. He suggested that. instead of
the present system of charging the
company $3.50 a month, the board
make a proviso calling for landing
charge on all lots Of goods weighing
over 1000 pounds. He stated that he
believed such a scheme might be work
ed out to the complete satisfaction
of both the board and the company.
In answer to a question from mem
Der, of the commission, Mr.. Hemen-
way said that. according to rough fig
ures compiled by himself and James A.
Kennedy, the scheme which he sug-
gested would cut the present charge
about in twain.
Commissioner G. ]. Mccarthy ex-
pressed himself as being opposed to
such a scheme, saying that it cost the
territory considerable money to build
and maintain the outside wharves and
that the Inter-Island should he will
ing to assist in the upkeep. The $3.50
a month now being received from the
Inter-Island as wharfage fees, he said.
did not come anywhere near provid-
ing for the repair and maintenance Of
the wharves
The commission took no action in
the matter. neither on Mr.. Hemen-
ways suggestion nor on the communi-
cation stating that the company was
under the necessity to decline to pay
the March bill. The matter was re-
ferred to the committee on outside
wharves for consideration and a pos

BRUTAL MURDER
SimpIicio Jayellana, Who Kill
ed Sweetheart, Hanged
\ Meets Death Calmly

With a weak smile of brayado on
his lips but the look OF terror in his
eyes, Simplicio Javellaua, Filipino
who cruelty murdered hts sweetheart
at Paauilo, Hamakua, Hawaii, last
July. went to his doom oa the galIoRs
at Oahu prison this morning. s.1..ss

extinct. Less than a dozen specta-
tors besides the physician. priest and
prison attendants witnes sell the tragic
drama.
Though his church VOWS have sealed
the lips OF Fa'hcr Nalentin and the
prisoners final confession to him is
Lot known, it is the general belief thai t
Javellana went to his death unre-
pentant. He made no statement pub
licly, walking firmly and jauntily up
the steps from the Jail corridor to
the gallows platform, taking one swift
glance around the prison yard and
then signifying his readiness for the
black cap and the moose.
The absence of the usual crowd OF
spectators was due 20 the Fact thai
the man and his crime were not gen.
orally known here, though the news
of the extreme penalty netPd out to
him was made public last month, when
Governor Pinkham signed the death
warrant.
Javellana's crime was rarticl:!a rIy
atrocious. according to TIE iLforma.
ton sent the attorney-geEeral and the
governor y Judge C. F. Parsons of
HilO, before whom the man was tried
and convicted.
In July of last year Jarejlana had
been living with Antonil Pastora, Il
woman of his own Nationality. She
left him because of his inability to
support her; quarrel failowe1, and
he went to the house in when che was
living on the night of July 10, climbed
through window and at'ackel hcr
with a cane knife. This took place at
Paauilo in the Hamakua district.
The woman ran from her and he
followed, slashing her as he ran. Out
side, she fell to the ground anu he
continued to cut her, inflicting the
wounds from which she shortly after
ward died. When arrested later he
admitted the killing and his intention
to kill. adding that if he lad sup
posed the woman still alive when he
left her on the ground he would have
returned and finished his work.
Attorney Russell was appointed to
defend the man and sought to obtain
a verdict of homicide in one Of th2
lesser degrees, upon the theory that
the defendant had found the woman
in the arms Of another man and that
be had slain her in sudden transport
Of passion. The evidence showed
however, that the room in which She
was sleeping was occupied by several
