New Schedule Benefits

IRRIGATION CHARGES
."aARFVERY MODERATE
Coast , Cities Have Rates for Irrigation
and Animals Many Times High
er Than Those of
Honolulu.
Several months ago tlio Bulletin gave
a dill explanation of tho new systcn
of water rates. 4 It was stated then that
the premises of water rata payeis
throughout tho city were being measur
ed for the purpose of ascertaining thu
rates they respectively should pay un
der the new system. Another thing
clearly demonstrated was that thu
change would result in the poorer
climes having to pay less for watr
than before, while the charges to all
would bs fairly In proportion to the
value of their, respective privileges.
At tho present semt-nnnual time of
payment of rates, the new system Is be
Ins put In operation with new places.
It will be extended to the old privi
leges as soon as the arrangements havi)
all been completed. Then a full sche
dule of rates will bo published.
In tho meantime someone has man-
ngod to secure n local paper as a
medium for rebelling against tho new
rating. To prove how unjust tlio at
tack upon the system Is J. W. Pratt,
so -rotary of the Water Works, showe
n Bulletin reporter the revised schedule
of rates changed somewhat from tho
one Minister Young aproved, which
waj tho one formerly noticed In this
p.tper, by his successor. Superintendent
of Public Works JlcCandless together
with the schedule cards of San Fran
Cisco, Oakland and Sacramento fo:
comparison,
Tlio new rates afford a house mini
mum of $8 a year, which Is far below
anything hitherto charged a domicile.
It Is for a house of one story occupy
ing up to COO square feet of ground
the charge for a corresponding two
story housa being $9. Up to 800 square
itt'i me cnarges uru ami iu; iu iuw,
t and $12: to 1200, (9 and $13; 2500 to
3000, $13 and $22, etc., for C000 square
feet the charges being (21 nnd $31. Sac
rameuto has tho minimum of id for n
house, but additional charges for spe
cific conveniences which make tho rati
far higher than Honolulu's. It Is In
Irrigation and water for animals, huw
ever, that the new system Is liberal In
the extreme compared .wyth tConst
cities.
Sacramento charges 30 cents a month
for 30 square yards of Irrigating sur
face, nnd half a cent for every addition
al yard. Honolulu's rate Is half a cent
n ear for the square yard, no annual
charge to be less than $3, when pre
scribed hours of Irlgatlon are observed,
and where tho liours are not restricted
It Is threo cents a square yard, A cal
culation shows that the rates for Irri
gation In Sau Francisco and Sacin
mento are twelve times as high as iu
Honolulu.
Then, as to animals. For each horse
and cow Sacramento charges 30 cents
a month, or I3.C0 a year. Here the
rati?. are: Horses and mules, $3 a
year each up to tho fifth animal; then
$2, 1 and 7B cents for successive stages
until more than fifty animals nro count
ed. Cows, $l.50n year each up to the
fifth, and above that number 75 cents.

Summed up the fact Is that some
holders of privileges will pay higher
rates than formerly, though not abop
their equitable proportion, while others
will pay lo'wer rates, and lf"la esti
mated that the amount of revenue col
lected will vary little or nothingrela
tively to the number of privileges, from
the returns of the old system.

AIRED IN POLICE COURT
AT FORENOON'S SESSION
Husband Fined $10 and Costs on Old
Charge-Judge Wilcox Volun
teers Some Valuable
Advice.
George Harrison appeared in tho Po
lice Court this forenoon to have sen
tence passed on an old charge of nr,
uult nnd ba'ttory en his wlfo, Mary
Harrison, to which he pleaded guilty
In July of last year, Mrs Iiarrlinn
went to tho police station yesterday
nnd complained that her husband had
struck her again on the 15th Inst. The
papers wero prepared and In tho Potlro
Court this morning Deputy Sheriff
Chllllngworth asked that suspended
sentence bo passed.
Just here. Attorney Straus, repre
senting the defendant asked leave to
withdraw plea of guilty and substltu'o
a plea of not guilty. He quoted author
ity but Judge Wilcox held that Harri
son was perfectly cognizant at tho time
of tho charge that had been mauo
against him. He was not nn Illiterate
person nnd eight months had gone by
slnco tho plea of guilty hart been en
tered. The motion was overruled.
Deputy Sheriff Chllllngworth asked
that sentence be passed and Attorney
Straus arose with surprise stamped In
every feature of his face, nt the same
tlmo asking tho question: "Is Your
Honor about to proceed to pass sen
tence?" Tho answer camo quicklv:
"Ills Honor Is about to do something, '
Mrs. Harrison was asked to glvo her
story of the assault and battery of last
year. The lady said that her husband
hud struck her and thrown her down.
Tho troublo was over somo property
nnd sho was standing up for her rights.
Attorney Straus asked Mrs. Harri
son If sho loved her husband and sho
replied that sho did. He then further
asked her If sho loved him well enough
to see him cracking rocks on the street
dressed with ono leg In a brown and
ono In a hluo casing. Mrs. Harrison
did not answer,
Mr. Straus then went on to say that
Mr, Harrison had lon given the very
best of recommendations by Mr, Kerr,
his employer. He was a very hard
working fellow and was always at his
po3t. Tho wholo troublo camo as a re
sult of tho Insane Jealousy of Mrs. Har
rison who, upon tho night of tho last
quarrel, had hecomo angry at tho men
tlon of another woman's name.
Judge, Wilcox then had his say. Ho
told tho defendant that tho very best
thing for him to do upon getting Into
nn altercation with his wlfo was to
walk away, Thero was nothing that
would Btop a woman's tongue more
quickly than to forco her to talk to the
open nlr.
To Mrs, Harrison, Judge Wilcox said
that sho should not hecomo jealous bo
cause her husband happened to smllo
at tho pretty girls upon whom ho was
expected to wait, for that was the way
to treat customers. Then tho Judge
went on to say that, when he first went
on tho Pol loo Court bench he told his
wife that thero would undoubtedly he
a Jorge, number of ladles up to seo him
and that she could havo a nlco arm
chair In his private ofileo next the
court room If sho cared to. Tho Invi
tation had never been ncccpted.
Harrison was fined ?t0 and co3ts,
Judge Wilcox -remarking that ho Jld
not consider the case a very serlois
one.
Tho latest style of straw lints will be

nui 11 limit
Was Result of Man's Own Carelessness-Had
Been Selling Vegetables
and Fruits to Vessels
Alongside.
There wa3 a v.y bad accident at :!.
wharf of the a It. & L. Co. this morn
ing nt about 8 o'clock which may "yet
result In the death of l.eong Yin, an
old vegetable Chinaman who has ben
In this country for jcars.
For a long time past, l.eong Yin has
been the owner of a small boat In
which he has been wont to go out to the
various sailing vessel In port to supply
them with fresh vegetables and fruit.
He started out as usual this morn
ing nnd went to the vessels that had
ordered vegetables of him. Having
finished this work, he returned to the,
railroad wharf from which be had
started.
Just at about the time mentioned
above, the steamer Kauai was moving
away from tho wharf In order to re
turn to the Inter-Island wharf, having
finished her work at the former place.
Tho Wind was blowing a galo and all
tho vessels in port were having a hard
tlmo of It. The Kauat waB no ex
ception to the rule. She had both h el
bow and stern lines fast to the wharf
but had swun gout somo distance.
The Chinaman, seeing the opening
between .the wharf on the steamer,
pushed off his boat and made for the
opening In order to get closer In. Tho
natives on the Kauai cried out to him
to get out of the way. He might foe
crushed against the wharf.
Leong Yin persisted In whnt he was
doing Just long enough to plaice him
between the steamer nnd the wharf.
Just then thero was a strong gust o
wind and tho Kauai was blown In to
ward the wharf with great force.
The Chinaman saw what was coming
and scrambled up on the wharf. Had
he remained there, he would have been
perfectly safe but Just us his boat was
being mashed between the steamer and
the wharf, he mado a flying leap Into
It In an attempt to save it.
Thero was n crunching sound. The
boat was mashed to pieces and tho poor
old Chinaman was caught and squeezed
between the steamer and the wharf.
The steamer moved away as soon as it
was possible nnd the Chinaman lifted
from the mashed boat. He was placed
nnd the wharf and the patrol wagon
was summoned. l.eong Yin was put
Into this conveyance and taken to the
Queen's Hospital where he remained
for a very short tlmo for tho old man's
relatives ami friends came around an-1
removed tho Injured man to tho Chi
nese hospital,
It Is believed that the Chinaman hua
been Injured Internally, When spoken
to by police officers nt tho wharf, ho
spoko very feebly and complained of
Intense pain In the region of tho chest.

"Hut Hllo should not have a char

proceeded to say. "Kallua Is tho proper

can't havo a city In a place that's not
fit to llvo In unless a roof Is built over
It. Men will llvo in a swamp to make
money, but It Is no placo for a city.
Kallua should be the capital of tho

MR. MINVIEUE TALKS OF
HAWAII'S NEW CITIZENS
Two More Lots of Laborers Are Soon
to ArriveNo Difficulty in Recruit
ing Immigrants Willing to
Work and Spend Money.
A. E. Mlnvlclle, who had charge of
the I'orto lllcans, arrived In the City
of Peking will return In the China to
mcct.unothcr lot of about four hundred.
This lot of Immigrants he will meet in
New Orleans and accompany them to
Hawaii. v Anothvr lot of 750 Is due to
arrive here In March.
Mr. Minviello Is a young man of
pleasant address. He is of American
parentage, born In Porto nlco and hus
a complete knowledge of the nntlio
Porto lllcans and their chnractci Utl".
Talking of conditions In his Island
home, Mr. Mlnvlclle In responso to
queries by a Dulletln representative,
so Id:
"The majority of the Porto Mean
now coming to Hawaii nre recruited In
Adjuntas, ono of tho country district!!
of the higher levels. These people were
among thoso most seriously nffected by
tho tornado of last year. They wmo
nnd havo been nctually starving. No
difficulty Is met In recruiting families
for Hawaii since the men are all will
ing to work and they nro glad to get
an opportunity to establish homes
where they are suro of employment.
"These Porto Means aro a native
race They nro accustomed to working
In enno nnd coffee fields. Generally
speaking they spend their money at,
fast as they get It, being generally sat
isfied to let tho future take care of It
self so long as they are sure of con
stant employment.
"In the trip across tho continent wo
met with no difficulties, being particu
lar to guard tho Immigrants agnlnut
any runners sent out to stir up strife
among them. We got Into Oakland In
tho evening nnd Immediately transfer
red tho people to the steamer, so there
was no chance of interference from the
outside. Wo had no troublo of any
serious character except when outsldeis
stepped In. A couple of tho men got
obstreperous and officers of the ship
put them In Irons. Immediately thu
wholo party was In nn uproar doirtand
Ing tho release of their friends, I went
around nnd thoy as promptly quieted
down on being told It was all right.
They said 'If you put them In Irons wa
don't object.' This Is simply an Instance
showing how easily tho Porto lllcans
can bo handled by nnyono knowing
them nnd their ways. They are an
easy going people when properly hand
led." Speaking of new conditions In Porto
Itlco under Amerlcnn rule, Mr, Mln
vlelle said tho people aro thoroughly
satisfied and business is steadily Im
proving. Ho Is confident the Porto Ill
cans will make good citizens.
