Until thc'Huprcmc Court decision In

custom for tho presiding Circuit Judgo
to glvo tho (Irand Jury a. form or oalli

thereby bound themselves to l(eei llio

rule
In the meantime tho Supremo Court
mid llio Circuit Judges were working
In rolve the question. It wns consid
ered by nil to fio a rather dangcroin
proposition to make punishable- as a
Violation of tho perjury law an oath In
keep a future promise. Judge Do Holt,
however, hit upon a way to get around
this dinicully by ndnpllng tho rule
quoted above. This was paused on nl
H conference of all tho Supremo Court
ninl Circuit Court Judges, which took
place this morning The rulo was
found to nil the bill and was placed
In forco today.
It will bo seen Hint under tho new

TAXATION VALUES
(IE Mil
Some Believe Limit Of
Advanced Values Has
Been Reached
BOOSTING WILL LEAD 70
FEDERAL SUPREME COURT
THE TAX OFFICE DOES NOT FEEL
THAT MARKED INCREASE HAS
BEEN MADE WHAT
80ME SAY.
Taxation Is coming homo to tho bus
iness houses this year with a force that
Rives promise of somo warmly contest
ed points beforo thn local courts and
possibly before the Supremo Court of
the United Htntrs.
Business men along tho street feel
Hint they nro being boosted to the limit
and then koiuo. Kald one man this
morning, "The vnlunllon of my com
pany's property has been advanced incr
n hundred thousand dollars this year.
I shall not pay It without a prulctt but
I doubt thai l will go bcjoiid tho Ter
ritorial courts.
".My kick Is this. I understand that
a man went out where they nro loading
or unloading tho ears for the Improve
ment of the Walklkl toad and madn
the stntcment that wo could handle
tlniso cars at one half the cost and also
Increase tho speed of loading opera
tion. Tho rrsponHO wan that thcro nri
boveit hundred and llfly vol In that
prcilnct. Now t urn ready to pay my
sharo bf taxes but I'll bo hanged if I
want It spent on the basis of how many
otcs thcro may bo in any precinct, I
think I'll hnvo to do somo voting my
self." HUH another talked In the tame vein
iih regards taxes but predicted that
lucre, Will bo n more serious contejt
this year than over before. '
'"1 tell you there Is a limit to Hits
thing of advance in valuations," s.ild
he. "Wo all know Hint Halt was right
when lie told the Senatorial cununtllcu
that real estato Is nsscssed at moru
than Its actual cash value. Tho com
munity, however, has let this thing go
on by sort of it common consent.
"Wo limo known thut tho govern
ment had to havo money to carry (in
lis business and on thu whole. It was
easier to submit to an over-valuation
than go Into the subject ot tnxutlou ic
vlslou. "Hut here wo nro again with taxation
valuci going still higher. The Terri
tory ha.H cut llu expenditures till they
nro more In lino with tho rcicnuc. If
this raising of values goes on, II will
bo a very short tlmo beforo tho -Supremo
Court of tho United States will
bo called upon to decide the question of
'cash values' as set forth in our laws
and I untlclpato that such a decision
will eu upset things that wo will haw
to do what W( should have dono be
foro, ravlsa our tax laws so that they
will bo on a business basis.
"Thcro Is uu end to what a good
natured business man will stand."
Ill tho meantime tho tax olllco makes
the general claim that tha assessments
this year are tho samo as thoso of last
year, at least as fur as tho Inland of
Oahu, with which tho local olllco dcnla
exclusively, is concerned. However,
no deflnlto basis of comparison can In
obtained us the assessment books of
the tax olllco havo not been made up.

Money For
Yacht Race
The trustees of the, Chamber of Com
nieree held a meeting this afternoon In
their Stnngcnwnld building rooms un-i
discussed the proposition of giving l
the Promotion Commlltco (21,00 or
JoUOO of about 5000 left over from the
Washington refund delegation fund,
for expenditure on the ocean yacht
race between San Francisco and this
port.
1'. M. Swnnzy believed that. In view I
of tho many things the l'romotlon I
CommltUo wished to accomplish, all
IcqHlrlng money, It was decidedly In
ltdvlsablo to expend J2.VJ0 or $5000 on
n yacht race. If tho loinmllteo had lots
of money, It would be a different prop
osltlon. As It was now, tho Commit
tee might ns well think of keeping a
stud of race horses to entertain vis
itors. i:. I. Spalding, speaking for the Pro
motion Committee, said It hnd been as
(cif alncd by n sub-commllteo thut
thoso who had subscribed to tho ro
tund delegation fund weie willing that
what money remained therefrom
should be spent on tho yacht rate.
The meeting Is continuing at this
writing.
It was finally tetlled dial the Promo

delegation fund, but no more, for tho

"1 consider It mi Insann net."
TlluH Dr. McDonald this afternoon
characterised thn Johnson murder af
ter the hypothetical question prepared
by llRrrlsou had been read to him.
"Now what was his menial state
when he killed tho child?" asked Har
rison when ho finished reading tho
question.
"That Is n dldlrult matter to answer
ort-hand," said Dr. .McDonald. Ho thru
went on to discuss the different phases
of insanity.
"As fur as the symptoms arc con
cerned," bo said further, "the word
'silly' Is often used, Various witnesses
thought thai ho was drunk, though
somo said ho was 'silly,' without lielnrj
drunk. Tho mort Important part to mo
Is tho ono concerning tho killing, which
1 consider an Insann act, ns I can find
no motive for It In tho hypothetical
question. Resides Hint tho description
or his physical conditions would glvo
mo gravo doubts as to his sanity."
McDonald was asked what he though
of Johnson's mental condition In the
light of the incidents of the last two
days previous to tho murder, especially
the walrh Incident.
Dr. McDonald answered that this ev
idence had been modified by tho testi
mony that Johnson was drinking at the
time, still, his mcr-lndulgcnco In al
cohol might prcdUposo him to attacks1
of mania.

The Mnlokan settlement scheme at
Knpaa, Kauai, has reached a crisis. To
say that the attempt to put tho Molo
knns to cane-rnlslng In Hawaii hns
proved a failure is not true, for it Is H
long way from failure ns a matter of
enrournglng white labor In tha sugar
Industry, although it Is nn ncknowl
edged failure from tho community-labor
standpoint.

"It lias' been stated," Bald Mr. Fair
child, f'lha( hls whole Moloknn propo
sition has turned out In bo an absolute
failure. As a matter of fact, It ban
proved n failure only so far as thu
original community Idea Is concerned.
, j;Wo received tho Mololuins at Kn
pas Tinder tho distinct Impression that
tho hundred or so Moloknn people con
stituted n little community Hint would
liohband work together. Nothing ha it

Col. Spalding has dono ami continues
to do everything in his power to keep

and hn doserves a great ileal of credit.
He ,s losing money, not necessarily on

they have run Into debt for something
like 11,800 or (2,000, but becnuso tho

and thn Portuguese, sny: 'More better

to irnko thn Molokans content with

"About "it) per cent, of tho Molokans

NAPLES, Italy, Aptll II. The conditions In this city resulting from the

$20,000,000. and 50,000 people ate homeless. Hundreds of persons have been
killed or died as a direct result of the panic.
It Is estimated that It will require 100,000 workmen and millions of mon

The panic among the people Is Increasing. It Is Impossible to reach the

regarding tho new plan. "It ought to
be satisfactory (o both Iho I.IIIIih

service, nnd Iho Walalno people,
who get a "Q minute Instead of a 30
minute service. I feel sorry for thu
Ilorctanla street residents, though.
"In tha meantime I think that tho
new plan Is far preferable to (ho ono
to liiftall n IE-minute service, for tho
reason that it places us nearer to our
final aim, namely, that ot having a
lOinlnuto service all through. If tho
IS-mlniito plan had been adopted, 7 1-2-mlniito
switches would have had to bo

It so much easier to get a 10-mlnuto
