IH
RESIGNATION
OF HOLT
F
(From Thursday's Advertiser.)
James I Holt, Tax Assessor and
Collector for the First Division, has
Tsecn compelled to resign that position
on account of irregular practices In
his official capacity.
He gave up the office yesterday af-
ternoon as the result of an investiga-
tion by the Execulve Department
which began about January 21, as,!n-dicat- od
by news items In the Adver-
tiser of the two following days. On
January 22 Governor Frear stated that
he hoped nothing was wrong, but
would probably give out a statement
for publication within a few days.
Many conferences on the matter were

THE GOVERNOR'S STATEMENT.
"Mr. Holt, Tax Assessor, has
tendered his resignation and has
been accepted. The Treasurer and my-
self requested Mr. Holt's resignation,
and, after thinking the matter over,
lie tendered and has been ac-
cepted.
"We have been investigating the mat-
ter at great length and very carefully,
its seriousness from the
standpoint of Mr. Holt well
of the Territory, and have been
come, any other conclusion
than that would be impossible re-
tain him.
"Several have been looked
into. At present only the following
need be stated:
"Mr. Holt certified claims on com-
missions on tax collections of Mr. Har-bott- le
In excess of the due
Mr. Harbottle, or, more particularly,
he allowed Mr. Harbottle commissions
twice on the same either
intentionally by mistake.
"Afterwards, he himself admits,
he directed Harbottle to prepare false
.statements be submitted to the
Treasurer in order to cover up the
matter, falsity consisting in ths
representation that Harbottle made
certain collections with which he had
in fact had nothing to do.
"When asked explain, Mr. Holt
at first denied that he had paid
commissions the same
but later was by his own acts
and figures admit it. He then en-
deavored to show that he had later
made deductions from other commis-
sions to Harbottle to an extent suffi-
cient to correct the overpayment, but
in order make out a showing of this
kind he had to make an Incorrect
statement the incorrectness of which
was apparent from other statements
and figures of his own.
"One result of" his overpayment was
that the County of Oahu overpaid the
commissions properly payable by .it
and has not yet been reimbursed. Mr.
.Holt concedes this and, although he
lias known of it &r a long time, has
not acquainted the county of the facts
nor reimbursed the county.
-- The Government recognizes that
everyone is liable make mistakes,
and if aa oSScer proves himself in gen
eral qualified mistakes now and thenl
can be overlooked, but when an
deliberately falsifies In the perform-
ance of his official duties the situa-
tion very different,'
other changes in the Tax
office had been decided on, the Govern
repHed:
'The present oSce force will go on
--
without M Holt until avsriccessor
appointed."
INTERVIEW TREASURER.
Treasurer A. Campbell was after-
wards seen in his Sice, and, in reply
to questions, gave some details of the
matter investigated.
"What led up to the whole this?.
Mr. Campbell said, 1s the fact of the
county paying commissions on delin-
quent tax collections. Along hack in
September there was same talk: be-
tween Holt and members of Board
of Supervisors with reference to the
county paying ten per cent, commis-
sion on aH personal taxes the coun-
ty's share of $339 ia the 55 of such
taxes. Mr. Holt wrote a letter to the
dated Sept. 4. 17, in which he
said:

man to the county's wiHingness to

close you a list of those who have not
paid.
" Trusting that your honorable
Board will approve of this matter at
your meeting this evening, for the
county has nothing to lose but every-
thing to gain," etc
"The Board referred this letter to
County Attorney Cathcart, who ren-
dered an opinion at the Board's meet-
ing of Sept. 19. He held that the Board
had the right Under its general powers
to pay such a per cent, on the taxes
ty assists In collecting these delinquent
personal taxes they cannot be collect-
ed, owing to the Insufficient force and
money at the disposal of the Territo
rial officers.
"The Board unanimously adopted the
proposition that the county pay to pre-
cinct tax collectors a ten per centum
commission, to be allowed out of the
portion of the delinquent tax with
which the county might be credited.
Since then, beginning with October,
collectors working on commission have
been allowed this ten per cent, from
the county and the balance of five per
cent, from the Territory.
"When I heard of this arrangement
while away, I did not like it, as I
considered the Territory should collect
all the taxes. Accordingly I wrote to
Mr. Holt from New Tork on Oct. S,
saying in part:
"I notice in the papers something
a"bout the County of Oehu paying the
cost of collecting certain delinquent
personal taxes. I wish voj would In-
form the County Board of Supervisors
that the only assistance the Territory
wants from them in this matter Is
that they insist that all county em-
ployes pay their taxes promptly. A
long as the Territory is ccl'ecting the
taxes, the acceptance from the county
of any assistance other than that
stated above would not be advisable
"You ought to be able to collect
those delinquent taxes without the
county's assistance, and betweei rDvV
und the end of the year I expect you
to collect them. I also expect that all
delinquents as of Noverrber 13 shall be
promptly attended to. If you find it
nectary to employ additional assist-
ance to accomplish the desiied results,
do so, but, exercise good judsment in
the selection of such assistance.
"That commission arraremer-- t
brought about a strange state of af-
fairs in the collection of ttes for
instance: Taxes had to be segrtsat?d
to ascertain the portions of (he county
and the Territory respective'y psy!'jj
10 per cent, and 5 per c?t. commis-
sions. If they were not popr.ly seg-
regated the county wocd pay too
much.
"In November Harbottle collected
forty-fiv- e persornl taxes, yet the
county was charged as though he had
collected 116 personal taxes. His actual
commiss'ons on collections that month
should have been from the Territory,
$49.45: from the county, $15.75 a total
of SSS.N.
"Ee was paid, however, t om the
Territory, S58.S9; from the courry.
$49.50 a total of 571.49. In other
words the county, instead of paying
$15.73, paid $8.6$, or $24.S3 more than
it should, and the Territory,
of paying a commission of 5 ie.tr. paid
53C.SS. leaving $9.55 less than it should.
The county is actually out $24 S3 en
this one trarsscticn.
That may have been by error we
are admitting it was by error but
nothing has been done toward recti-
fying it so far as the collector is con-
cerned. Harbottle's testimony was
that Holt purposely did it but we
have nothing to say about that. The
fact is it was not rectified sad I need
not repeat what the Governor has
said to you oa this fact."
Mr. Campbell stated that when Har-
bottle's friend informed him that Holt
was paying double commiss'ons be did
not believe it and in fact contradict-
ed the information. This was oa the
strength of the regular raonth'y state-
ments of collections furnished to him
by Collector Holt.
""But on analyzing the statements,
Mr. Campbell continued "I found that
they were falsely made out. Here is
a list of the November collections
which was sent to me. The order far
commissions was made oci by the
assessor, the list was checked by the
assessor and the whole thing submittsd
by the assessor.
This list contains 115 names of tax-
payers on whose taxes the county was
charged 19 per cent, commission. Tet
all but forty-fiv- e of them paid their
taxes through county departments
such as that of roads. The county
made its own officers collect the taxes
of seventy-on- e of its employes and
then had to pay a commissioa on the
cpSections.
"This, too, was in addition to the
Inclusion of a number of names from
the October list in the November list.

commissions to Harbottle of which he
gave information.

DISCOVERY by
A matter of decided Interest to the
cattlemen of the Territory In partic-
ular, and to the cattlemen and vet
erinarians of the world at large, was
brought out at the meeting of the
Board of Agriculture and Forestry,
held yesterday afternoon, the Territo-
rial Veterinarian. Dr. Norsaard, stat-
ing in his regular report that he be
lieves he has discovered the specific
cause of the disease known as "red
water" among cattle. As this is a
disease more or less prevalent in some
districts of the Islands, and Is also
similar to a disease affecting man, the
discovery of the specific cause is a
noteworthy achievement.
After discussing a number of mat-
ters dealt with during the month. Dr.
Norgaard says in his report:
"What little time has "remained at
my disposal has been devoted to lab-
oratory work. I believe that I have
found the specific cause of the disease
known as red water in cattle, a disease
which Is causing considerable losses
In the Territory- - As a disease in
nearly every respect similar to this
one is known to affect man, it is of
great Importance that the true nature
tof this cattle disease be ascertained
wSth as little delay as possible. I
have made arrangements with stock !
raisers of the Kona district of Hawaii,
and with the manager of the Molokal
ranch, to have live animals affected
wjith this disease sent down here for
laboratory investigation. I am of the
opinion that mo danger of the spread
of the infection will result from this
step and every precaution will be taken
to guard against it. It would be prac
tically impossible to make microscopic
examinations and laboratory Investiga
tion at any other place but here.
where the facilities are at hand. When
these Investigations have been finish-
ed the natural conditions on the
ranches where the disease exists will
be investigated.
ADVANTAGE BEING TAKEN,
"A number of suspected cases of glan-
ders have been reported to this office
by their respective owners," said an
other part of the report. "All the cases
proved to be either nasal or laryngeal
catarrh, of which a slight epidemic
,pievails in the city at the present
time. The disease is manifested by a
rather persistent cough and more or
less profuse discharge from the nose.
It yields readily to treatment and is of
little consequence except in furnish-
ing an excuse for patent medicine ven-
dors In sending out letters to horse
owners, in which the disease is re-
ferral to in exaggerated terms and of-
fering to supply medicine for the same
at $6 per gallon.
OUR NATIONAL COMMITTEE.
"I am in receipt of a letter from Dr.
Leonard Pearson, State Veterinarian
of Pennsylvania and President of the
Pennsylvania State Veterinary Col-
lege, asking me to serve as one of the
members of the National Committee
for the United States in regard to the
participation of American veterinari-
ans in the Ninth International Veteri-
nary' Congress, which is to meet at The
Hague in 1909. I have accepted this
invitation and promised to cooperate
with the committees which have
charge of State Veterinary Affairs and
of Tropical Hygiene and Tropical Dis-
eases."
FOREST RESERVE EXTENSION.
In connection with the forestry mat
ters dealt with in his report by Super
intendent of Forestry Hosrrer it was
recommended that the lands of Kuia,
.raneowa and Paunau, in the district
or portion
lamls belonging to the Lahainelunai
school, be included in the proposed
West Jaui Forest Reserve. This ques-
tion has been the cause a consid
erable correspondence between Gov-
ernor Frear and Superintendent In-
struction Babbitt, the following pro-
posed resolution being included in Mr.
Hosmer's report on the recommenda-
tion of the Governor:
J' Resolved. That the Board Com-
missioners of Agriculture and Forestry
recommend that" those portions the
lands Kuia. Paneowa and Paunau,
in the District of Lahaina, Island of
Maui, Territory of Hawaii, lying with-
in the boundary of the Wet ilaui For-
est Reserve, as described in Hawaiian
Government Survey Notes C. S. F. 1S54,
belonging to tli Lahainalnna School,
be set apart as the pro-
posed West Mani Forest Reserve;
"Resolved, futher. That the De-
partment of Public Instruction be re-
quested to transfer the said lands to
tire Territory that such reservation may
be made by the Governor; it being un-
derstood, however, that in so doing
the Department of Public Instruction
have the privilege to reserve for the
Lahainalnna School the tight to take
firewood and wood for carpentry, to
runnel for water in the reserved lands
and to continue to enjoy all the water
rights which now appertain to the
sefeool."
This resolution was adopted with tbe
report.
ASSIST XEW COLLEGE.
Chairman Giffard brossht up the
question of the assistance be givenj
to tfie new college oi Agriculture and
Mechanic Arts, the request being
made that same of the beads of the
bureau departments be allotted to as-
sist the new eollesre br giving lectures
on tbe subjects upon which they were
authorities. This request brought ct
strong expressions ofNopinion from the
members of the Board that everything
possible should be done by the mem-
bers of the Board and by "any and all
the employes of the bureau to assist the
college work and staff.
"We will cooperate in every way
possible," said George B. Carter, an
expression agreed to all the other
'a h'3 (Harbottle's) commissions
Holt clapped him on the shoulder, say-
ing: ""It's an right, I want to show
you that I have no hard feelings, or
words to that effect. Holt had some
short time before this reported Inci-
dent reinstated Harbottle as adspnty
collector, at the instance of friends
and after having- dismissed
him for insolent behavior.

GOME TO STAY
The tobacco raising Industry seems
destined to go ahead rapidly in the
Territory, and a company Is in process
of formation, having a capital of $a0,-0- 00
to grow tobacco in Central Kona.
The capital will be furnished by local
people and C. R. Blacow, wno has
done more successful tobacco growing
in Hawaii than any other man, Is pro-
moting the enterprise. Jared G. Smith,
for the past seven years special agent
in charge of the Hawaii experimental
station, will act as manager of the
new concern.
Mr. Smith, seen yesterday, said that
he had decided to give up his govern-
ment position because the new tobacco
company held out better prospects.
"The plantation, said he, "will be
located at Keokea, central Kona, and
we expect to commence operations
this summer. We have 216 acres of
land leased from the Bishop estate.
The culture of tobacco In the Terri-
tory has advanced beyond the experi
mental stage and I think that the
industry has a great future here and
that home-grow- n tobacco will before
very long be a most important Item In
the commerce of the Islands.
'The local leaf should command a
ready market, and will undoubtedly do
so, on account of its excellent quality.
,
The leaf Is a good burner, of fine color
and possesses splendid texture. The
new company will cultivate the Suma-
tra wrapper leaf and will be able to
produce an article which will compare
favorably with any Sumatra leaf grown
anywhere. It Is better than the to-
bacco grown under artificial shade In
Connecticut and Florida.
"We shall cater to the foreign mar-
ket and I feel reasonably sure that we
shall attract that' trade. The United
States Imports S.000,000 pounds of to-
bacco from foreign countries every
year and we figure to cut into this."
C. R. Blacow, promoter of the Kona
Tobacco Company, Ltd., as the new
organization will be called had the fol-
lowing to say on the subject yester-
day:
-
"Tha culture of tobacco In Hawaii
will not Interfere with sugar for a very
great deal of it will be grown above
the sugar line. Also a more Intelligent
class of laborers 'will be employed
than those vyho work on the sugar
plantations.
"As a small man's crop the growing
of tobacco holds out greater advan
tages than anything else. Tobacco
yields three crops a year and this
means that a planter will not have
to work at something else for two or
three years until his crop matures. In
Kona facilities are better for the cul-
tivation of tobacco than anywhere else
on the big island. Three different
grades can be grown at as many ele-
vations. The new company will turn
out a choice Hawaiian cigar which,
judging from the success which has
attended the experiments in making a
really domestic cigar here, should jump
into instant favor. The. islands are
f .,. f t '' ',.
The Keokea lands are five miles
south from Kealakekua Bay, the land-
ing being at Napoopoo.
The lower lands will produce the
Turkish cigarette grades; the middle
elevations the aromatic Cuban varie-
ties; and the uplands the Sumatra leaf,
the perfection of all cigar wrapper to-
bacco.
The varieties of tobacco best adapted
for culture in Hawaii are:
Cuban C, yielding per acre 1500 to
2800 pounds; Havana H., yields from
1000 to 1500 pounds; Sumatra B., yields
from S60 to 1000- - pounds; Turkish to-
bacco, yields about 500 pounds per
acre.
The average import prices of Suma-
tra tobacco brough Into the United
States in 1507 was $1.13 per pound.
These are Invoice prices, which are
less freights, commissions, duties and
other marketing charges, which
brought the average New Tork price
to $3.00 per pound. Best lengths,
grades and colors of the 1505 crop sold
in New Tork (season of 1507) at $4.00
to $3.59 per pound. Inferior grades at
$25 to $2.73. Seven million five hun-
dred thousand pounds were imported.
Tfie duties are jLSa and $2.50 per
pound, unstemmed and stemmed re
spectively.
Four million pounds of Turkish to-
bacco valued at $0.3S per pound, In-
voice prices, were Imported In 1507. The
duty paid Is $3.33 and $0.50 per pound,
unstemmed and stemmed.
The imports of Cuban tobacco were
sixteen million pounds, worth $0.74 per
pound at invoice prices. The duty paid
is $42S and $5.40.
The 1505 Connecticut shade-gro- wn to-
baccos sold for from $1.50 to $2.00, net-
ting a profit of $500.00 per acre.
It costs $250.00 an acre to build a. slat
shelter good for five years, and $350.00 ,
an acre for cloth tenting good for one j
or two years. No artificial shade Is
required in the natural cloud belt of
Hawaii.
The 1505 crop of Florida, shade grown
tobacco sold at S3 cents per pound, pole
csred, in 1507.

HARBOR
"The news received by Governor
Frear in a cablegram from Delegate
Kalanianaole, that the Naval Commit-
tee had failed to recommend an appro-
priation for Pearl Harbor need not
discourage us In our work for the early
development and Improvement of this
harbor.
"Letters received within the past
three weeks from the Delegate and
others stated that the committee might
fall to recommend this item, but in
going over the encouraging letters that
I have received, and the fact that the
President, members of his Cabinet and
numerous members of the House and
Senate are strongly in favor of an
appropriation this session, leads me
strongly to believe that an appropria-
tion will surely be granted us. This,

President James F. Morgan, of the
Chamber of Commerce, is by no means
discouraged over the Pearl Harbor out
look, concluding his regular report to
the trustees of the chamber with the
words quoted above. A number of
letters were read, also showing that
the project has the strongest kind of
backing from the President and from
the commercial bodies of the Pacific
Coast. These bodies bring a strong
argument ,to bear in stating that the
fortification and opening. up of Pearl
Harbor for the use of the vessels of
the navy is necessary for the safety
of the whole Pacific Coast.
PRESIDENT STILL URGING.
The Interest taken In the matter of
the improvement of Pearl Harbor per-
sonally by the President, was brought
out at the meetingof the trustees yes-
terday in a portion of a letter written
by H. PWooCt, which says:
