ANOYMOUSLETTERS
One Complains Of An Iron Bar
In Road and Other Of
Fishtraps

Whether or not the board of super
yisors should pay any attention to
anonymous communications may be a
matter for the board TO decide at to-
night meeting.
In the city clerks Office are two
screeds, one not signed at all, the other
signed "a Taxpayer" addressed to
the city fathers. o.. ,,'l x
f., That which is signed "a Taxpay.
er,,,' though no tax receipt Is enclosed
to prove the questionable assertion,
declares that q grievous wrong is, per
mitted when q certain. iron bar 10
allowed 70 remain stuck ON end nFthe
road at the entrance TO a factory in
the Iwilei district. Since he Is afraid
to sign his name, il is thought that he
is probably trying to make trouble for
somebody. a.. 1'
The other anonymous writer com.
plains that fish traps are being set of
BARRIERS Point, Pearl Harbor and Fort
Kamehameha, in opposition to- the
law. -
While police departments frequently
get valuable tips through anonymous
letters written by persons who do not
want to be identified with any inyesti-
cation, it has never been formally de,
cided whether boards Of supervisors
should take official notice Of such mis-.
sives.r II is possible that the mysteri,
Gus epistles may be submitted to the
board this evening There is evidently
no Black Hand intrigue involved
for there we're no crossbones, nor skull
nor. inky,, clutching claw drawn on
either document, nor we're any threats
outlined. 70 -" ~
Even if the supervisors fail to pull
up the iron bar, and neglect to eonfis
cate the fish traps of Barber 3 Point
they may still survive to serve the
people.

Alexander Young Hotel

The joint committee from the three
boat clubs met last evening for the
purpose of arranging for the Regatta
Day dance to be held on the roof gar.
den of the Alexander Young Hotel the
evening of September IS.
This dance has always been the event

and this year it will be grander affair
than ever before, as a larger attend,
ance is expected on account of the en-,
try of the Hilo rowers and the follow.
ing they will have here.
1t is planned that the two pavilions
as well as the dance platform on the
roof, will be used and arrangements are
to be made for the hiring of the best
music available. On the evening set

MAKEE RAILROAD

The Makee Sugar Company of Kauai
objects to being considered a common
carrier, and in case the Interstate Com
merce Commission decides that such is
the status of the railroad from Kealia
to kapaa, the company may shut down
on ell freight-carrying business, which
it declares is done merely for the con,
vcnience of the merchants of Kappa
and not as "money making PROPOSE
ton
1t is also quite possible that the ter
ritOrial public utilities commission
will fle a formal complaint against the
company, with the national body, ask,
ing for a hearing to determine the rea-
sonable freight rate for the haul
These and other features of the stu
alton were known yesterday by Char,
les R. Forbes, chairman of the utilities
board. A letter from the national body
bearing on the matter was received and
says, among other things, that "the
company expresses no willingness to
make any reduction in its rates. A full
hearing is necessary to determine the
reasonableness of these rates"
1--WE probably shall file a formal
complaint with the interstate commits
siOn," said Mr.. Forbes, "and ask for
hearing. The commission may detail
the public utilities commission to act
for 1t in this case, owing to the dis
tance between Honolulu and Washing

Young Man

Hon. Sanford B. Dole arrested T. l..
KOrn, an American, who was assaulting
his wife at Beretania and Emma streets
yesterday afternoon. The former iurist
held the wife heater until the patrol
wagon arrived to take the man to the

assault and battery and will appear for
trial in the police court this morning.
After an argument with his wife
who is Hawaiian, Korn struck her in
the face with his fist. Although a much
larger man than Judge Dole, Korn was
no match for the "grand old man of
Hawaii, " who seized KOrn and shielded
the woman from further abuse.
KOrn has been in the custody of the
police for carrying concealed weapons
