Immeasurably harder, and sonio of them Btato point blank that they Intend to havo tbo Central Com mlttco mako nn Investigation of the matter of Its own. Ono thing Is fair ly certain, mid that is that In cusu Treasurer Campbell docs not antici pate them by leslgnlng, tho members of tho Legislature will mako a hard nnd probably successful, fight ngilusi the confirmation of his appointment. Tho Mmtimcnts of tho leaders or tho party were expressed this morn lug by John C. Lnno about as follows. "It Is probable that Campbell told I-'rear that ho would havu to choso be tween holm and Holt, nnd It such wns the case, tho choice should certainly havo been Holt, who has always held a clenn lecord and lias tho respect of tbo community. "When It (Amies right down to tb.u caso In point Campbell Is much moro to blame than Holt. Kirst ho placed Harbottlo and Wilder In the Tax Of flco to spy on Holt. Then when Har bottlo camo to him and showed him tho warrant by which ho had been overpaid, and nri it Is admitted, by a mlstnko on Holt's part, did Campbell tell him to havo tho mistake rectified? No, ho told Harbottlo to collect pay ment on tho warrant, mid thus tho Trcusurer deliberately and knowingly robbed tho trossury. For this Camp bell should have been fired and not Holt. "This action on tho part of tho ad ministration Is discrediting tho Repub lican party, and la making tho work all tho hnrter. Tho people, will tell tho leaders that thox administration Is turning tho Hnwallans out of offlco and tbat wo havo not boon able to prevent It, itnd then what aro wo go ing to say? I do not expect to go to tho Senate nu.l I do not desire to do fo, but If 1 woro a senator Campbell would never have his nppolntment confirmed." These seiillments were about tho r.amo ns thoso expressed by tho other loaders, and fear una expressed least this action by tho administration might cnuso another of these bit ter flsbts between tho legislature and lliu (lovcrnor, similar to those which' tho Territory has been afflicted In previous years. Among tho moro conccrvatlvo He pubtlcana regret Is expressed ovor tho incident, but at tho same time con fidence In expressed that'tbe Govern or must havu found It absolutely nec essary to tako the step. Said W. O. Smith; "Governor Frenr must havo felt that this action was necessary for tho bOBt Interests of tbo public service. I know that ho wants to havo In tho public service as many Hawallans and pnrt-UnwallanH as possible, who nro efficient and trustworthy. Ho miiBt havo felt that It was not safe to con tlnuo Holt in tho office. Personally I feel groat regret ovor tho mattor." If You Knew just when Fire, Accident, or Death will strike you in the dark, there would 'be no necessity of insurance; certainly no chance for insurance companies I But you DON'T know.

Frear, But Not Dishonest HARB0TTLE PROBABLY TO BE FIRED Tho firing of Jlmmlo Holt from his office as Tax Assessor appears to have been the result, not of nny dis honesty on his part, but of his grnvo mlstnko In trying to cover up an error In his' accounts. Tho original error consisted In overpaying Har hottle In jommlsBlons on collections, nnd could very easily havo bocn rec tified had Holt felt Inclined to go to the Governor and acknowledge that he had made a mistake, and asked how It could bo corrected. Dut the truth of tho matter seems to bo that Holt know that his supe rior. Treasurer Campbell, was after his scalp, and ho was afraid to go up with the mattor for fear that Camp bell would take It as an excuse, to get him. Consequently; ho attempted to cover tbo error up by making out In correct reports fad ordering Harbot tlo to do tho samo. "That Is whero I made an nss of myself," said Holt this morning, "and I acknowledged as much to the Governor. I admitted candidly that a mistake had been made, but that the substitution was for ths purpose of rectifying this mistake. And I deny absolutely that the County of Oahu has suffered by the mistake. "It all camo about through a con versation I had with Sir. Itlco whtlo the Legislature was In session. A bill was before the Legislature au thorizing the Tax Assessor to collect road taxes. This bill failed to bo como a law, but I understood Mr. Illce to suy that It had, and so I hill', tho road taxes for July and August collected. When I discovered that this was wrong, I corrected the mis take by assessing the County a larger proportion of the commissions for collecting poll tuxes In November. So tho County has not suffered nt all." Tbo Governor In his statement yea terday concerning the mattor Inti mated that thero were other cauBea for the request for Holt's resignation other than those made public. Holt was asked In regard to this and re plied that tho Governor and the Treasurer had Intimated that ho had committed acts In 1904 similar to tho ones complained of in this in fctnnco. "I offered to go Into tho matter with them," he said, "but tbey declined to discuss It at all. Tho fact Is that at ono time during that year I was obliged to pay the Janitor out of my own pocket, which I could not afford to do. I tried to get the money refunded but wns unablo to do so. I even went to tho Legisla ture for It, but they would not ullow It. So I permitted Collector Francis Wet "Weather Wear Velour Calf A shoo that is unusually well adapted to wet weath er.

Holk'hnd com plained to Campbell of tho inattention of Wilder to certain duties but Camp bell had persisted In Ignoring tho com plaints, nnd Holt formed the opinion that ho was backing up Wilder with the view of getting him to supercede hLni. t It is probable, however, that Holt It mistaken In this last statement. Har bottlo Is still In tho tax omce. but tho chances that ho will remain there are pretty slim.

The Oovernor wns asked how It was that Holt was fired for paying over to Harbottlo money not rightfully duo the latter, whllo Harbottlo, who knowing ly accepted this money, was retained.
