4 TITE HAWAIIAN STAR. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 2, 1898. SIX PAGES. ABOUT PERSON AL TAXES HALF AN HOUR Wl'l H TH1 TAX COLLECTOR. The General Apathy of Corporations Contrasted With the tntcr-lsland Steamship Company. There is a pretty constant stream ol persons wishing to pay personal prop erty taxes still pouring in to the !l'ax Collector's office where they are re ceived with open arms by Tax Col lector Shaw, Deputy Weedon and assistants. Sj great has been the rusl lor the past week that the present clerical force of the office has been un able to keep the books posted up and indexed, and it Will be soinf. days be fore a complete statement ran be ren dered. Owing to the crowds in attend ance many persons have gone away, preferring to pay the extra ten per cent rather than stand in line tor hall an hour or more; these and others will be given a chance to pay up this week, after which all unpaid personal taxes will be placed in the hands of con stables for collection. There are stiil a number who have Dot paid from last year, and payment will be enforced from these also. In fact, taxes will be collected this year without fear or favor, and it is the intention to make every able-bodied man who has been in the country the requisite time pay person, taxes as the law provides. Replying to a question of the STAH reporter, Deputy Collector Weedon stated that people were paying personal taxes and sending in returns of per sonal and other taxes regardless of pol itics, and that the threat made some time ago that the royalists would not pay taxes to the Provisional Govern ment, was not being carried out by such prominent men of that party as Claus Spreckels, W. G. Irwin, C. B. Wilson, J. O. Carter, G. W. Macf.rlane, F. Macfarlane, J. A. Cummins and others who bave already paid personal taxes and made the proper returns of their other property. Mr. Weedon also complained of the general apathy shown by corpora tions in the matter of sending in lists of their employees for the use of the lax Collectors Office, and especially mentioning the Road Hoards, only one of which on this island has sent in any list at all, the exception being Hono lulu which has sent in a partial list only. Considering that the money for road purposes comes solely from per sonal taxes, it would seem that the Road Hoards should interest them selves in seeing that their employees pay road taxes. Of the employees of the Honolulu road district Mr. Wee don has collected from forty-four, only four of whom paid voluntarily. If proper lists had been supplied he could have collected from every employee on pay-day. In marked contrast to the action of other corporations and road boards is that of the Inter-Island Steamship Company, which sent in a list of 204 employees at one time, with a check for $1020. It has sirce sent in a subsequeut list of 117 more, fur all of whom the company becomes respon sible for the payment of the taxes. The company receipts to the Collector for 100 or two 200 receipts at a time and (ills them out with the names of the employees and passes them over as so much cash on pay day. With regard to the personal property taxes collected from students between the ages of seventeen and twenty at Ka mehameha and other schools, Mr. Weedon said they only paid $3 $2 for road tax and $1 for poll tax no school taxes being collectable.

The Wailuku Sugar Company has filed a cross suit against ( 'laus Spreckels and others in relation to certain water lands rights at Wailuku, Maui. The suit is termed a bill of discovery and charges fraud against Kaiue, Commis sioners of Private Ways and Water Rights, in deeding away his title to the land in dispute, so as to qualify himself to act as Commissioner in the SS4 An injunction has been issued by ludge Cooper restraining him from taking any further steps pending the termina tion of the suit Sam Parker s Case.

THERE IS NO COMBINE Claas Spreckels Does Not Control Ho nolulu Steamer Freights. Flit some time past there has been an impression in Honolulu that Claus Spreckels had entered into a 1 ombin ition with the Pacific Mail Steamahij Company by which his line obtained a monopoly of the freight business be tween this city and San b'rancisCO, It has even been asserted that the Pacific Mail had refused shipments for thi port on that account. With a view to ascertain the truth or filsity of these rumors a representative of the Star called on Mr. H. F Glade of the firm of Hackfeld & Co., this morning in relation to the matter. That gentle man at onc e stated there was nothing in it but mere street talk and that per sonal, y he knew that the present con dition of .flairs between the two lines was entirely different to that reported. Instead ol refusing freight, said Mr. Glade, it is only since the steamers have Come up to the doc k that we have ac cepted a iy, and we now take whatever offers. The Pacific Mail Company has never made any effort to obtain any freight to or from this port when the Company was running only monthly steamer, and it is only since extra steamers have been put on to ac Commodate the travel to the World's Fair that the Company his cared t Uke local freight, and this will only Inst for another month or so, as the extra steame rs will soon be taken off. Now that the steamers can come up to the dock freight will be accepted when there is room for it. LETTER FROM MAJOR WOLTERS Hard Times in Queensland Desolation on the Logan, Albert and Tweed Rivers. Brisbane, July 19, 189-1. EDITOR Star: According to prom ise I drop you a few lines to let you know that I arrived sale at mv destina tion, my old native home, by the Miowera; but I am sorry that I can't give you a glowing account of things nere, as everything is gone, gone, and still g'Ung. As you know, the bygone Hoods the bursting and failures of banks and private institutions are producing great havoc among the wealthy as well as the poor. But the planting season is now again at hand and the fanners and plantation managers in general are be stirring themselves in getting a new start for life along the northern coast line, say from Bundeberg to Port McKay, and still further. They will have a splendid sugar season this year thai is, It nothing happens to their crop before it is stored and in safety .'uounu niiMiane, anu as lar north as Maryborough, and south as far as the Logan, Albert and Tweed rivers, noth ing whatever can be produced this season as the best of the soil together with houses and mills have all dis appeared by the Hoods, and it will take- years Ijetore they can get into swing again. I took a trip last week up the Brisbane river as far as the junction of the division of the Brisbane and Bremer rivers, not far from Ipswich. All along here, I recollect as a boy, on both sides it the banks to be nothing but lields of sugar cane and nulls. But now you can see nothing but here and there some small hovels as a gentle reminder of the place having once been occupier. Ol course you know the newspapers here are doing all they can to help along the new Canadian steamship line, and they are trying Id knock into the farmers thai they might grow fruit for the Canadians, but how it can ever be mad; to pay to ship fruit from here to there remains a puzzle to rne; as all the kinds of fruit that could be sent from here as a paving business can be obtained in Honolulu at cheaper rates, and would, therefore, be useless as Honolulu will no doubt outstrip any thing in that line of exportation in years to come, as distance will be shorter, freight less and our goods from Honolulu would arrive there in good order; whereas shipping them from here the fruit would only be, I suppose, so so. A Lrge sugar refinery has just been built on the banks of the Brisbane, and they are thinking of making a start next month for refining. It is one of the finest refineries that I have seen, and will be able to do all the work that an be obtained around hire, without having to send the raw material to Sydney as heretofore, I he Sir Chas.

I will send yon some newspapers by this mail. Hoping you will receive them all right, I remain Yours sincerely.

Sour Kahuku correspondent seems anxious to keep up an agitation against "Jack Ktfleiwahea," a sup posed leper, probably that his martial spirit may he gratified by the appear ance of special police and the P, G. army to capture a poor hunted and supposed leper. As one acquainted with this supposed leper, let me give you his side of the story. In 1N86, Kaleiwahea was a quiet citizen of Kalihi, making a good living as either a machinist's helper carpenter or clock laborer. He suffered from some sort of facial paralysis which caused one eyelid to droop and from which tears would flow, and one end of his mouth was drawn down a little. He had enemies, and on account of his independence, and I suppose the "usual woman at the bottom of the case, " some of them made trouble for him. His story is that after many vain attempts to get him into a row or trouble of some sort, he was suddenly reported to the Hoard of Health as a leper, by tliese same enemies, anil a warrant was issued and he was arrested and taken to Kalihi receiving station. He claims that for the six weeks he was there, he and many others were never examined, and he naturally chafed under the restraint. One day he was told by an attendant that he was to he sent to Molokai, and not caring to travel so far at government expense, and believing himself a non leper, and not having been examined, one night he got over the fence, and escaped, and worked his way to Wai mea valley between Kahuku and Waialua on the island. Soon of course the deputy .Sheriffs were notified of his escape, together with others per haps, and orders were issued to arrest him for examination. I do not know what effect it would have on your readers to he hounded and hunted or seven years as a wild animal, but nevertheless the effect on Kaleiwa hea was to make him desperate, and he swore never to' be taken alive. For the first few years he never carried arms, but after an attempt at his capture in which he was driven into the sea and was pursued by the native police in a canoe, he calmly waited some distance from shore until his pursuers got up to him, when with a dexterous movement he capsized the canoe, the occupants of which were thrown into the sea. I'he canoe was rendered useless by the breaking of the outrigger, and he- swam out to sea, and landed at night near Waialua. From thai night he became a " desperado " and ever since lias carried arms which have had the desired effect to him, in that, while every few weeks attempts have been made to capture bun, his being armed has kept his pursuers, at a respectful distance, and no real attempt has ever been made to arrest 1111. 1 he police always sent word to him that on a certain night they were coming to capture him, and he usually went into the mountains, but if at home, sent word that he would resist arrest with force of arms and as stated before, they kept at a good distance away. He has vowed that as long as he is hunted like an inimal, he will never surrender alive, and he has a good camp inPauwela, Kahuku mountains, where he can play "Koolau " to his heart's content. However, it is reported that orders have been sent to the Deputy Sheriff of Koolauloa anil Wai alua, not to molest the man, and to leave him alone until further orders, and I have no doubt that as soon as Kalaiwahea is confident of a fair deal and is no longer to be hunted and hounded, he will voluntarily come and be examined. He is a fine speci men of a man as faras physique is con cerned, and his body a month ago, did not have a blemish upon it. He thinks that if leprosy has not broken out on him in seven years he cannot be a suspected leper. Last month he was the principal native employed in repairing the Waimea bridge, and did all the diving for the bridge work when necessary. Hoaai oha. I'he following letter has been re ceived in Honolulu from Kaleiwahea bv a friend of his I Translation. CAMP on ink Mot . mains, Kahuku, July M, fo Your welcome letter has been re ceived, and the contents has given me much hope and pleasure, in fact it is only now that my food com mencea to taste well in my moun tain home. Several reports have been brought to me that I was to be hunted agaili, but only lust week were my thoughts saddened by bearing that the white police, and the gov eminent army were to be sent against me, to shoot me 011 sight, and for what wrong have 1 clone, to be always hunted like an animal. When 1 heard this my tin nights were full of ove for m wife and our two weeks old baby, as well as tor my relatives Chen lo escape trouble did I piepare to go once more to my mountain home-, giving my wife and relatives a lung loving farewell, and to my wife I my perhaps final message, thus. " The time has arrived for ine to be one more a hunted beast, and I go to my mountain retreat until such time a- 1 meet with the results of the reports, ! which I have heard, and theie com bat with life or death, until the last smoke curls from m rifle." With these words I left my home lor the mountains with heavily laden thoughts, but now your letter gives me fresh hope that the persecution of years may soon cease. I may rest like a man, he treated like a man. and act as a man should and not like a hunted animal. Therefore, with aloha, etc.. 1 am your humble servant.

An ImpOtttfll meeting of representa tives of the largest sugar plantations in the Islands was held yesterday in response to an invitation extended by the Cabinet, the membeis of whom were present, and in addition Messrs. W. l Irwin. H. I". Clade, T. R. Walker, J. B. Atherton, H. Water house, K A. Schaefer, C. BoltC and J. O. Carter. The meeting was called owing to the receipt of a communica tion from the Japanese Covernmcnt imposing new conditions on the ship ment of immigrants. Heretofore the planters have been deducting the sum of $ 1 ? 17 from each laborer at the rate of 40 cents per month, that sum repre senting the expenses of shipping the immigrant here, sue h as passage money, railroad fare to okohama, etc . Now, under the new conditions, the Japanese Government says this sum must be paid by the planters and not deducted by them from the emigrants' wages After discussing the matter thoroughly the planters came to the unanimous decision that they would not pay this additional demaud. Min ister King, as President of the Bureau of Immigration, will send a cablegram by the City of New York to the Ha waiian Minister at I ukio ordering an other lot of immigrants to be forwarded lionolnlu, but with the condition that they c ome on the same tetins as ihe last lot or not at all.

KeSOlvea, I hat this Chamber of immerce earnestly deprecates the present inactivity 111 this important national question as being inimical to our commercial interests and dangerous to the peace and welfare of the Ha waiian Islands, with which the Pacific Coast of the Republic has a large and increasing trade, the continuance of which is threatened by delay and Un- ertainty as to its future control. Resolved, That attested conies of these resolutions be forwarded to the President of the United States, the 'resident of the Provisional Govern ment of Hawaii and to the California delegation in Congress, soliciting its aid 111 obtaining prompt and favorable ac lion in the matter of Hawaiian an nexation. ...Tacoma, Wash., is to be the terminus of the Canadian-Australain Steamship Company, whose steamers will make- monthly trips between Ta oma and Sidney. -Independtnt, M.
