l"I shot him." Naturally the news
created no end of excitement among
those on board and as soon as they
reached Silverton they telephOned

The general expression is one of APP

day, and the clubs executive commit
tee is expected to present TO the Re
publican convention its sentiment in
favor of the change of Honolulus
municipal election from November To

Amendment TO Frontage Tax Law.
Another matter coming up next
Monday. also with the backing of the
Municipal Research Club. is an
amendment to Act 131 of the 1913
statutes. This act is one of the two
frontage tax laws. Experience in try
ing to secure improvements based on
the frontage tax plan, with the ma
jority petition of property-holders ne
cessary to put the improvement
through, has shown that the factor OF
publicly-owned property is a vital one
Up in Manoa the property-owners who
wanted street improvement found
large part of the necessary frontage
was owned by the government Those
in favor of the frontage tax plan for
local improvement feel that when a
petition is being gotten up, the city
or territorial property frontage should
be counted as in favor of the improve
ment. 1t is pointed out that often
the public frontage, if voted against
the improvement, might be sufficient
to beat it, and this, it is declared,
would put the city or the territory in
reactionary instead of a progressive
attitude toward public improvements
The convention is expected also to
ratify the proposal that a new system
of public auditing be instituted The

words than ever. his unwillingness to

meeting it was brought out that Tuck

Col Charles J. Mccarthy had :Ielt

whether he would refuse to resign.
"Col. Mccarthy told u.s. said the
committeeman, that Tucker had not
shown a disposition to refuse to give
his resignation. The governor then
suggested that Col Mccarthy see
Tucker again right away, and get his
resignation The commissioner sent
word back that he would think it over
and give the governor his answer one
way or the other later"
