attach SALARIES Of MAYOR AND
al OTHERS FOR UNPAID TAXES

The payroll of 242 city employees.
including the heads Of several depart
ments and Mayor Lane, was attached
by the territorial tax office today be-
cause of non.payment Of delinquent
taxes. 1t was reported that r. W.
Aylett, superintendent of the garbage
department and of sleepy watchman
fame, owes the territory nearly $1,000
in back taxes, and If so II will be
many months before the attachment
runs out and the bill is satisfied. The
law allows an attachment of % per
cent of the pay Of government en-
ployes to satisfy unpaid tax charges.
Some idea of the high percentage
of delinquent taxpayers in the city SER
vice can be obtained from these fig
ures. OF the 80 members of the Ha-
waiian Band, % of them had their pay
attached for back taxes. In the may
or's office every employe, including
the mayor. had his salary attached
except Secretary Woodward. This in
cindes the messenger and the chauf-
feur.
OF the small number of employees
at Kapiolani park. q OF them will get
only 20 per cent of their salaries lIn-
til the back taxes are paid in full. The
following is the number of employees
whose pay has been held up: Fire

ment, 2; Honolulu Jail. 13:: police de

A double investigation Of the explo-

Standard Oh Company, which resulted
in the death Of two men and the seri-
Gus injury of another, was begun to-
day by Charles r. Forbes. superintend-

From his investigations Mr. Forbes
will arrange data for use by the Pub

victims having been a Hawaiian

affair to ascertain, among other
things, the cause of the accident,
which still remains mystery as far
as the management of the local branch
Of the Standard Oil Company is con.
cerned. The data which Mr.. Forbes
secures will also be used by the de-
partment of public works for any probe

Those in charge of the local Office
of the company also will make a
thorough investigation. said Angus
tus s. Prescott, district sales manager
for the company. today. AS the mat
ter now stands, We don't know any
more about the accident, or what
caused it, than we did yesterday. The
men who were on top of the tank are
the only ones who know"
Up until press time, the company
had fled no reports of the accident
with the industrial accident board.
The clerk in charge Of the boards Of
fee in the McCandless building said
that, while it is required that reports
be filed within "a hours after acci.
dents, the Standard Oil Company prob

the distillate tank at the time Of the
explosion and fire, died at the Queens

LANDS JAPANESE
in OAHU PRISON

lust charge this up to booze. Blame
that, and nothing else"
Thus directed Circuit Judge Ash
ford this morning just before he sent
a Japanese named K. Kimura over to
Oahu prison to spend the next two
years at hard labor.
II was the old, old story of a man
who had committed a crime while
drunk. Kimura said he was guilty OF
stabbing a fellow-countryman named
Abe. but asked that the court be len
lent because of the fact that he was
intoxicated and did not know what he
was doing.
Judge Ashford could not see the
matter in this light, however He
said that, while he praised the Japan
ese because there are SO few of them
now wearing stripes, being drunk was
no excuse for committing a crime.
but if you will let me go, will
cut out the BOOZE" pleaded Kimura
through an interpreter.
The court smiled SO did the city
and county attorney. So did the clerk
and the stenographer and H. Terence
Lake.
This is great place for people to
take the pledge when they are up for
sentence" Judge Ashford remarked.
He also ordered that Kimura pay the
costs of the court.
