POWERLESS
The trouble growing out of the recent
Bale of the tug Eleu, which sale
was annulled at Washington on the
ground that the tug was Federal property,
and consequently could not be
sold by Superintendent of Public
Works Holloway, has led to some rather
Interesting correspondence between
the National and Territorial authorities,
and the final Introduction In Congress
of a bill giving the Territory the
right to dispose of property here belonging
technically to the United
States, under certain restrictions. The
bill Is as follows:
"Be It enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the United
States of America, In Congress assembled,
That all personal and movable
property ceded and transferred to
the United States by the Itepubllc of
Hawaii, under the Joint resolution of
annexation, approved July 7, 189S, may
bo sold, leased, or otherwise disposed
of In such mnnner ns may be provided
by the laws of Hawaii.
"Provided, That all Bales, leases, or
other disposals of such property heretofore
made by said Territory, under
tho authority of Buch laws, are hereby
ratliled and confirmed, and all moneys
or revenues derived from sales or
disposals heretofore made, or made under
authority of this net! shall remain
the property of said Territory."
This bill was Introduced as a result
very largely of the writing by Gov
ernor Carter of the letter following to
Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock:
Executive Chamber,
Honolulu, Hawaii, Dec. 12, 1905.
Dear Sir. The Chief Executlvo of
this Territory Is responsible for Us
property, and as such I find myself In
a peculiar position in fact, It Is rather
remarkable,
By the terms of tho Joint resolution
to provide for annexing the Hawaiian
Islands to the United States, approved
July 7, 189S, It was provided that the
Republic of Hawaii ceded to the United
States the absolute fee and owner
ship of all public, government or crown
lands, public buildings, or edifices,
ports, harbors, military equipment, and
all other property of every kind and
description, belonging to the govern
ment of the Hawaiian Islands, together
with every right and appurtenance
thereunto appertaining.
The existing laws of the United
States relative to public lands were
not, however, to apply. Congress was
to legislate especially In regard to
them, and all revenue and proceeds
i therefrom was to be solely for the
(benefit of tho Inhabitants of these Is
lands. And, further, that until Con
I gress should provide for the govern-
ment of these islands, all the civil.
i judicial ana military powers exercis
ed by the officers of the existing gov
J ernment were continued In such per-
pons as the President should appoint
Thus a method of transition was
reached. - " 2 ' ' -
By 'virtue of the treaty of annexation
and this Joint resolution the title to
all public property, both real and personal,
became vested In the United
States of America. The personal property
bo transferred comprised a vaBt
amount of material of every kind-office
furniture, books, tools, and machinery
used In Internal improvements,
live stock and vehicles In short, the
usual variety of personal property
necessary for the conduct of governmental
affairs such as had existed for
years In these Islands. Among other
property bo transferred was the steam
tug known as the Eleu.
None of this property was ever received
or taken any account of by
any Federal official. It practically remained
in the hands of tho various
departments through the transition period,
passing In this way Into the custody
of the Territory.
When tho Organic Act was enacted
some two years later It contained a
provision relative to the property so
transferred. That provision is as follows:
"Sec. 91. That tho public property
ceded and transferred to the United
States by tho Republic of Hawaii under
tho Joint resolution of Annexation,
apprpved July 7, 1898, shall bo
and remain in the possession, use and
control of the government of the Territory
of Hawaii, and shall be maintained
managed, and cared for by It,
at Its own expense, until otherwise
provided for by Congress, or taken for
the uses and purposes of the United
States by direction of the President or
of the governor of Hawaii. And all
moneyc In the Hawaiian treasury, and
all tho revenues and other property
acquired by tho Republic of Hawaii
since said cession shall bo and remain
the property of the Territory of Hawaii."
This section appears to leave with
the Territory only the possession, use,
and control of this vast amount of
personal property, subject to vfuture
disposition by Congress. Yet at the
same time property acquired since July
7, 1898, appears to be vested In the
Territory, and its various officials, aa
provided for by law, can disposes of
the same. But no power appears to
have been given to the Territory to
dispose of any of tho property that
was ceded.
The Republic of Hawaii operated the
tug Eleu. as In the early days government
assistance was necessary In order
to maintain a tug hero, and thus
In a way It became a function of tho
former government In these Islandc
She continued to be so operated during
the transition period, nnd for some
time after the approval of the "organic
net." Beyond engaging In the towing
business, however, the Territory had
II tt to or no use for her. During Governor
Dole's administration, SpreckelB
Brothers, of Ban Francisco, sent down
an ocean-going 'tug called the Fearless,
and began to operate hepMn' these
waters. Their representatives Imme-
rilnt1v nnmnttttnf! Afrfllnst file TetrUt
lory's operating the tug Eleu. Some J
correspondence was naa wun
In relation to the matter Tho
Fearless was a largo and powerful boat
and soon usurped the entlro trade, and
when my duties as governor began tho
Eleu was practically reduced to the
work of taking garbage out to sea.
The cost of operating her amounted to
between $500 and $600 a month, andf
a local steamship company offered to
tow the garbago scows and do all tho
work that It was necessary for the
Eleu to do for $150 a month. Tho Territory's
tug was therefore Immediately
put out of commission, "anchored In
tho harbor, and n watchman kept on
her at $30 a month. She became a
"white elephant" a constant source
of expense, and brought In no revenue
whatever.
In consultation with other government
officials I mado an attempt to
sell tho tup. No private Individual
would buy her unless she could comply
with the regulations and pass the
federal Inspectors. As they visit the
Islands but once a year, a delay of
nine months followed In regard to the
matter. On the arrival of the Federal
Inspectors the Territorial officials wore
Informed that If the tug was Federal
or Territorial property they could not
Inspect her. During this delay somo
slight Investigation was mado as to
whether the boat would be of use to
any of the Federal departments, and
If such had been tho caso the Territorial
officials would have gladly turned
her over to any one of them. No
such use could be found for tho boat,
nnd rather than see property of such
value literally wnste away It seemed
to be a sound and common sense way
of looking at things to sell the boat
and put tho money Into the Territorial
treasury as a government realization.
This course wns finally concluded on,
and the boat was disposed of at auction
for the sum of $2000, conditioned
upon her passing a satisfactory Inspection.
Tho purchaser made application
for an Inspection, she was taken
up on the marine railway, and It was
seen that the repairs would be considerable.
The Territorial officials felt
Justified In expending any amount, at
least up to $2000, as otherwise she
would be a total loss.
Upon these repairs being completed,
the certificate of Inspection was granted.
The purchaser thereupon made application,
under the navigation laws
of the Unltd States, for registration
of the tug through the-collector of customs.
The Bureau of Navigation responded
by asking the collector of
customs by what authority tho Territorial
officials had sold tho boat. How
that Bureau could expect the collector
of customs to answer such a question
Is still an enigma. The collector of
customs referred this letter to the
superintendent of public works, who
replied to the effect that under the
republic his department had full power
to Bell personal property. These pow
ers had been continued during the
transition period, and under Hawaiian
statute they still exist.
On my return from a trip east I
learned to my surprise that the tug
was still In our possession, and that
the Territory was still paying $30 a
month for a watchman. I then took
up the matter with Secretary Metcalf,
and In my perhaps vigorous way suggested
. .that, If . th.e boat .belonged, to,
the Federal government I would gladly
pay for a cablegram If he would Inform
me to which department I could
turn her over, and where the Territory
could look to be reimbursed for the
expenditure on her repairs and tho cost
of maintaining the watchman.
Secretary Metcalf did not cable the
Information, but furnished me with
an opinion of the Attorney General's

CONFIDENCE

PETITION
Editor Advertiser: Ono would have,
thought thnt President Pinkham of the
Board of Health had been contradicted
flatly enough and often enough in his
public statements concerning health
affairs in Kona to mnko him more careful
in speaking. But, not Hero again
iu tho Bulletin of Jan. 18, thcro is:
President Pinkham reported nt tho
Board of Health meeting on the 17th
as follows: "I present herewith a petition
of David Alawa and others, requesting
n cbango of Government Phy
sician in the District of Kona, As Air.
Alawa mentions tho name of the phy
sician they desire substituted tho peti
tion is open to suspicion," and so mu
Then be contlnuos to say that "Dr.
Goodhuo wroto refuting all the
charges, that tho petition had boon
signed by 2-10 persons including tho
names of many women nnd children,
thnt tho petition had been circulated
by Mrs. Atchcrloy and ninny signatures
on it had not been plnced thcro
bv tho bearers of theso mimes,"
The nbovo statement is utterly false.
Tho tabling of the petition on tho
grounds of such lnnrciirnto statomont
is an insult to tho "40 people who havo
signed it, of whom nro
voters, l.vory signature is genuinn
and I can provo it to be so. That "tho
names of women and children" occur
is ns false ns it Is ridiculous. I should
liko to know what evidonce thoro is
for such n wild accusation. If necessary
wo will produce another petition
with every name witnessed by a
public. Of courjo such a thing
hns never been necessary boforo und
tho people of the Konas propose to
know tho roason why tho Hoard of
Health should treat them with contempt,
nu net for which there is no
procodent.
Let Dr. Goodhuo produco n counter
potitiou if ho can in his own favor.
As for tho charges against him I cun
produce actual bills and tho details of
treatment in support of them.
Tho person responsible for tho circulation
of tho petition is myself. For
my own pnrt, as ono of tho clean persons
arrested by Dr. Goodhuo nnd us
