association will ibe a discussion of a scheme that is on to raise money for alleged raco and field events that are to ibe pulled off at Kapiolani Park by way of celebrating tho Glorious Fourth This canvass for money has been eminently successful with a large num- ¬ ber of the merchants of the city who pormittod their patriotism to carry them away It is said that about 700 has already been raised Since the discovery by some of those approached for coin that the hui collect- ¬ ing tho money was not ono organized to give tho people an outlet to their patriotic enthusiasm but to run xreo horso racing a loud protest has been uttered especially loud now since it is reported that some of the promoters want a special license to open a beer joint for that day at tho track Ono of the collectors for this hui approached the head of a prominent business house in the city at the begin ning of tho weok with a list of those who had already subscribed and asked tor a donation Un the petition it

in Sromoting race and field sports at Park on the Fourth of July The merchant becoming suspicious asked who was at the back of the peti- ¬ tion and the solicitor sidestepped at onco and answered only that it was a regularly organized committee The other persisted and asked for names and upon hearing one promptly said No- ¬ thing dolngl Tho words raco meet and field sports disguise the proposition start ed some timo ago by a hui of sports in the city to hold horse racing at the old park on the dny named with an understood object now of selling beer on tho Bide and thus adding to the gum that is to bo so kindly donated by tbo merchants A canvnss of the busineis men of tho city and others shows a decided sentiment against any racing at nil on the park on that date claiming that when Honolulu was holding races at Kapiolani Park under the auspices of a regularly organized jockey club Hilo and Maui came to Honolulu to celebrate They argue that now as the local iockov club has dissolved ami Maul Is to hold a race meet ou the Fourth conducted under auspices which cannot be questioned It wpuld not bo tho square thing to do to start a rival if doubtful attraction hero and the mercantile associations will undoubtedly discountenance such a thing On the other haud a sentiment has been started to iirenare a Fourth of July program that will be worthy of the day Several influential men have expressed themselves as boing sur ¬ DENVER Colorado Juno 15 That there should bo a Department of tho Homo nnd Child added to tho other departments of tho national govern- ¬ ment and that that

R I IN THE mm OF PUBLIC MSO OF TERRITORY Far Reaching Policy Announced by Land Board at First Meeting--Hereaft- er It Is Home- steader ¬ First Plantation After No government public land may lawfully under the provisions of tho land law amendments to tho Organic Act bo leased until after possible and prospective homesteaders and the public generally shall first have been notified that the land is available for homestcading No leases of public lands shall bo renewed until after similar opportunity sbnll havo been offered for homo steading This is mandatory upon tho land board The abovo interpretation of tho new land law amendments is tho bombshell which W A Kinney a member of the board threw into the land board yesterday afternoon at the lengthy meeting of tho newly created body of guardians of tho public domain and if his interpretation of tho law is accepted as tho correct ono tho entiro land policy of the Territory of Hawaii will nlmnirfiil tho Virmnfl homesteader will nrecedenco over the suffer VnluO tho to the ranchman and all tho other owners and lessees of land who tender is only tho will fotch purposes Because a want to buy leaso public - mnn wlu glv0 onljr Aoi Bcro ig omer woras too micni 01 as in me iana law umenu reason rerusing mm monts to the Organic Act is that the land belongs and should belong to tho people and tho homesteader should havo first preference Mr Kinnoy In his remarks at tho meeting of tho board tooktho ground thnt congress in passing tho law amendments has rebuked tho Territory of Hawaii for tho way in which tho land question in these Islands has been handled in tho past and serves notico on tho people of this Territory that in tho future thoro must bo a change in tho land policy and the man who wants to go upon tho land and make a home for himself and his family is tho man who mu9t bo preferred to tho man who wants to accumulate many acres A Now Era Publicity Tho meeting of tho land board yesterday was one of the most important of all the meetings that havo been held in this Territory in many years and its consequences may he more far reaching And the attitude of tho board marks a new era in the conduct of tho public business in Hawaii For it was definitely decided that so as tho land board is concerned there shall be no executive sessions Everything shall bo in the opon and general public shall at all times be permitted to Bo present and know what is being dono and what is contemplated In view of tho attitude of most other public and semi public institutions in this Territory this announced policy of tho new land board is almost revolutionary Not All Agreed Mr Kinneys opinion that tho new law allows the land board and the land commissioner no discretion whatever in regard to tho opening tip of land for homestcading whenever such opening shall bo demanded Iby twenty five ap- plicants ¬ land and that the claims of all lessees shall be considered sub- ordinate ¬ to to those of prospective homesteaders was not fully concurred in by some of thoso present Both IK A Thurston atodTchnlrman Alfred Carter Btated that in their opinion Mr Kinney was going too far in his interpretation ¬ of the law and that certainly some discretion should lie with the board Land Commissioner Marston Campbell also said that he was unable to see the matter tho same light as that in which Mr Kinney looked at it Ho feared that it would entail a groat amount of trouble and expense without in many cases producing the results expocted Mr Carter expressed tho opinion that while the rights of the homesteader ¬ should bo amply protected by tho board still it should not bo forgot ¬ ten that tho lessee has somo rights too A lessee whoso leaso is about to ex ¬ pire has tho right to Ibe informed in a reasonable time as to whother or not tho-- lease will ha renewed May Be No Kapaa Deal If W A Kinneys interpretation of the law is adopted Iby the land board it may result in the falling through of tho Kapaa deal the contemplated leases which aro provided for in the agreement betwoen tho McBrydo Sugar Company and tho government may bo killed through the requirement that nothing along that line be done for a year nt until after prospective and possiblo homesteaders shall first have been given to de ¬ clare whether not they want the government land or any of it which it is proposed leaso to the plantation ¬ It was tho matter of the proposed Kapaa leases and water rights which brought about the momentous discus ¬ sion And although the members of the board constantly reverted to these proposed transactions upon which they had boen called by the land commis ¬ sioner to pass the effect of tho discussion ¬ reaches fnr beyond tho partic ¬ ular mattes of the Kapaa lands and nffeets tho general land policy of the Territory Mr Thurston who was present in tho interest of the Kapaa deal ex ¬ plained to the members of the board with 41a M nt n mi Hin Inv fit land and tho possibilities of bringing water upon it After some consider able discussion Mr Kinney proposed that action be for the Tea sous abovo cited in order to give possible homeateadora the first cboneo at the land Suppose he said that thirty days after yon have let this lease twenty five men step Jn with a petition to bo allowed to take up homteadl what aro you going to A 1 You would hv to give vsry substantial reasons

Commissioner Camp bell whether or not the latter had any fund which might be used to mako water available on land Mt Camp- bell ¬ said that it was a question of the interpretation of the law Under certain circumstances it might too posi sible to hiive n big reclamation fund but just at present there is nothing at all Tho discussion came back again to tho question of whether or not tho knd should be leased to tho plantation and once more Mr Kinnoy stood ground reiterating his statement that board has no discretion but must first offer land to possible homo steadcrs It seems to me ho said that if the government starts out withholding this land and twenty five determined men start in they can surelv corner us That net nnd all its amendments seem to be along the lino that the land shall be given up on do- er and Tho question of the availability of the mauka and makai Kapaa lots for homesteadinc purposes was discussed and Mr Campbell expressed confidence that every one of the mauka lots would be disposed of to homesteaders if the lower lands were leased to tho pianta tion thus giving a market to tho home steaders Why not offer the makai lotsT asked Kinney call their hand on that Campbell explained that the Portu guese want tho mauka lots not the makai Mr Campbell stated emphatically that what he wants is to get tho sot tiers the lands Judgo Andrado in quired hoW much land there is in Ka paa capable of irrigation and Camp boll stated thnt there is about 1500 acres Qo Ahead Again tho discussion camo back to the question of delaying the lease as to give homesteaders a chance at tho lands before they aro leased to thg plantation Campbell objected that such a procedure wonld mean a delay of etoout a year as the lands must first be surveyed and cut up into homestead lots and then advertised for sixty days Mr Kinney suggested that that be ing the case the best thing for Mr Campbell to do would too to go ahead and survey tbo land and cut it up The members of the board and tho land commissioner agreed that it would not be wiso to sell the Kapaa lands with water ns keeping the water sopa rato from the land is about tho only protection tho government has from dis ingenuous homesteaders Campbells Views Land Commissioner Campbell ex ¬ pressed tho strong belief that the lease of the Kapaa lands would really In the end old tho bomcstoadlng of the lands on account of the fact that under tho terms of tho lease the lesseo is requir ¬ ed to construct expensive reservoirs and other Improvements which la the end revert to the goverament I cont help but feel

to know Discretion Narrow Your discretion is very narrow replied Kinnoy A Government leaso isnt worth much now Tho cash mar- - Tin nncl rlo tftko kot of land tho homo what land planter big for homestcading or land an in congress expressed no lor tno iana land far tho for in least an opportunity or to fhn deferred the his the the on so provision as If tho plantation wants to give 100 an aero and tho homesteader can offer but ono dollar an aero but is otherwlso ready and willing to carry out all tho conditions imposod tho homstoader is tha ono who should get tho land Tho Art thing to do Kinney con- tinued ¬ is to present a palatable propo sition cut up your land lay out your runus ouer ino nomesieauor someinmg Youve got tho monoy to do all that County Should Handlo Water In regard to getting water on tho Kapaa lands Kinney was atrongly of tho opinion that that should bo left to tho county of Kauai Campbell could not see this Campbell again insisted that to his mind tho leasing of this land would bo tho best move tho board could mako to ¬ ward settling tho land finally with home steaders Thats a long rango action objected ¬ Kinney and this act contemplates putting tho homesteaders on the land at onco nnd under the most favor- able ¬ conditions He expressed the opinion that it would bo easy to get tha water on tho land Campbell objected that it would not bo easy We have tho water he said but tho expense of getting it on tho land will bo considerable 25000 to 30000 I wouldnt want any homesteader to feel that becauso tho lands there and tho waters thero its land with water on it Chairman Carter couldnt ses that the expense of getting the water onto the land was at nil to bo compared to the value of getting tho land sottlod Its a mcro bagatelle ho said compared with tho valuo of tho 3500 acres Kinnoy onco more exprcsed the beliof that tho wator question should bo left to tho Kauai supervisors Tho county government is the ono to handle that ho said because it is in continual session ¬ Tho board of supervisors is re- sponsive ¬ to tho wishes of the commu- nity ¬ and thev havo the power by this now act to borrow monoy If tho water works aro left to tho ountios tho to sults will como more quickly Turn tho lands over to tho people nnd the water over to tne counties ana tuey win con noct up all right Delay Might Help Thurston expressed the opinion that Kinneys construction of tho law in rogard to tbo discretion or tbo board was tho oxtremest possible Ho thought that dolay would bo better if by delay things can bo dono to get as many peo plo on the- land as posiblc Delay of course should not be simply a subter- fuge ¬ to lock tho lands up Thurston thought thot the commissioners ¬ or at least some of them ought to go to Kapaa and look tho ground over for themselves The lay of tho land ho said is not as simple as it looks on tho map Engineering would bo necessary to make the water available ¬ A good deal ho said dopends upon Knowieago or tuc 10cm conditions This matter is a very considerable thing to the plantation and it moans even more to tho people of that district Tho fact that tho plantation had gono down the past threo years has reacted on ina taxes of tho district I would like to see somo of tho commissioners gc on tho ground so thoy can net in tho spirit as wen as uccuruiu vu mo iuiiui ui uu law I doubt if tho discretion of this commission is so narrowed down that it is neccsary to go off half cocked at tho invitation of any twenty fivo persons Ho was Of tbo opinion that no final docislon in tne matter snouia do mnao until tho commissioners knew raoro about it Homesteaders First Kinney stated that ho is going away next week for several months and will not bo ahlo to voto on tho final issue But he Insisted I dont think tho land should bo leased until nftor it bos been definitely offered for homo stoading And I dont think this should lncludo agricultural land alono but all public land including pastoral land such as the Carnwell land on Maul I dont seo why It should not bo shown that all land brought beforo this board to bo leased lias been defi nitely offered for homestcading These applications for leases havo all accumulated under conditions that no longer exist Tbo land laws havo been changed I dont seo anything unfair la requiring that all lands be put through that test Then weve got something to tie to What would you suggest for timet naked Drown I dont behove In a ahqt time replied Kinney In Kapao for In twice a year Is not too much Mirny people sro afraid to spesk theyre afraid theyre not wantud on the land If plantation want Mod nnd md eund ff tar Iblrt toty r ninety days Anyhejy who wil r thnt land nobody olso has any chsneo to get it x dont think that would bo right Tho executive branch of tho government ought to be satisfied to have full and fair opportunity offered for homestcading Every man who can got twenty four others with him has a fixed and absoluto right to agricultural land Thoro s absolutely no discretion on thnt point Then tho question comes up what landt and thoro s whoro tha discretion of tho executivo comes in And Kinney read from tho Organic Act amendments Whenever twenty fivo or moro persons having tho qualifications of homosteaders who havo not thcrctoforo mndo application un ¬ der this Act shall mako written application to tho commissioner of public lnnds for tho oponlng of agricultural lands for settlement In any locality or district it shall be the duty of said commissioner to proceed expeditiously to survey and opon for entry agricultural lands whother unoccupied or un ¬ der leaso with tho right of with drawal sufficient in area to pro vide homesteads for all such per ¬ sons together with all persons of liko qualifications who shall havo filedfwlth such commissioner prior to the survey of such lands written ¬ applications for homostcads in the district designated in said applications ¬ Tho lands to bo so oponcd for sottlcmont by said commissioner shall bo clthor tho spe cific tract or tracts applied for or other sultablo and available agricultural ¬ lands In tho same geo ¬ graphical district AND AS FAK AS POSSIBLE IN THE IMME- DIATE LOCALITY OP AND AS NEAIILY EQUAL TO THAT AP PLIED FOR AS MAY BE AVAIL- ABLE ¬ Plantations Hostllo Iboliove said Chairman Cartor that this act was passed for tho purpose ¬ of assisting tho sottlcmont of tho land with small homesteaders I bo liovo that in tho past tho plantations with somo exceptions havo bcon hostilo to almost cvory homosteading proposition ¬ nnd congross has got tired of it and has determined that tho land shall go to the peoplo On tho othor hand it would bo fool ish to divide up land unsultod for homosteaders ¬ It would bo foolish to sub divide waste lands And so far as notico is concernod every man in this iorritory has already been notinod Campbell said ho thought tho work of his office would bo expedited if it wero admitted that tbo land commis slonor has somo slight discretion Tho Final Test The final test said Kinney should bo in tho yes or no of tho peo ¬ ple as to whothor or not thoy want tho land This board should not havo to assume tho responsibility of guessing whether any given land wanted bo homestcading or not Brown suggested a new point of view Tho law ho said contemplates leasing as well as homcsteadlng and thoro is justico called for in tho case of tha lessees A man might havo a leaso of land obviously not suited for homesteads and it might bo essential for him to know promptly what bis status is Thero ought to bo tho least possiblo intorforencc and dolay should not bo longor than is necessary The situation ought to be reasonably considered ¬ and somo discretion used as to whothor or not thero is any hopo of the land being wanted for homesteads Hawaii Bobuked Youll get Into quicksands ro piled Kinney if anything short of an actual public offer of any given land for homosteading is going to servo for no- tice ¬ Sometimes thoroll bo a barren result but youve got to take that chance rather than err along tho linos of this act that is practically a rebuke to tho peoplo of this Territory Campbell suggested that it would bo an oxccllont plan whenever application is mado for tho renewal of a liconse to puuh notico or it in tbo papers so that all parsons Interested including possiblo homestcadors may know what is going to bo dono This plan was warmly approved by tho commissioners In the end no decision was reached in regard to tho Kapaa leases and tha commissioners adjourned to moot again at ton oclock this morning THINKS BRECK0NS HANKERS FOR TROUBLE Tbo report that It W Brcckons the United States district attorney fore shadowed an Intention of arresting King Chululongkorn
