WOULD LIKE 70 KNOW Why


The four fishing boats that were
seized as smugglers on the 28th day of
August by Special Inspector Bum Of
Washington, D. c., are still tied to the
wharves at Lubec, awaiting the action
of the government, writes correspon-
dent of the Lewiston Journal.
The vessels are the Olive G., Lunett.
Mary II. Lewis and Twilight. They are
owned by John N. Bride, 2. A. Wheel
err Elmer Sealey and others. All OF
Lubec and Whiting were in the herring
business between Lubec and Grand
Menan and other islands in New Bruns-
wick waters. The seizures were made
on the ground that the herring brought
in those boats were subject to duty,
and as the captains and owners
claimed they had violated no law to
their knowledge. A report was started
that the entire sardine business of
Eastport and Lubec would suffer from
some new law, which does not change
previous laws in this respect that the
people down this way never had heard
about There are over one hundred
and fifty boats in the fleet here, all DO
ing business in the same way. ana had
Mr.. Bum proceeded to enforce the new
ruling as he had started in, not one
tenth part of the fish could have been
put up in Eastport and Lubec this sea-
son for the ships would all be tied up.
But he did not enforce the plan as he
started. though what he did do, and
what is going to be done, is the mys-
terry that Lubec people would like to
solve.
When those boats were seized the
herring they had on board were sold
Under the instructions of the customs

wharf, and in less than one week and
I'D to the present day herring have
peen coming into the same port in ex-
actly the same manner to the knowl-
edge of the officers, and are considered
free from duty by Collector Hanson of
samaquoddy district under the
special treasury decision of June 18th,
1875, by Secretary Manning; and the
law has not been changed since.
vt the time of the seizure those four
boats were at Grand Manan island.
They were telegraphed for by the own
rt,s and on their return were turned
over to the custom officers. who, they
say. gave them to understand that
they would be released at once, but
after deciding that the herring came
free from duty by the decision of 1885,
which case left those boats free as any
in he fiat, the owners were then in
formed that the boats were held for "A
violation of custom laws, for not re-

The boats,the Mary H. Lewis, was sail
ing under a fisherman's license and
not supposed to make any report at
the custom house, and if those boats
broke the law so did the fleet.
Applications were made to Secretary
Of theTreasury Gage Immediately after
rhe seizure to release the boats, but
there seems to have been no action
taken on his part. No word can be
had from any of the officials. The
work has been going on for twelve
years exactly as it is today. Those
boats have broken no rule that the
whole fleet has not broken.

TAXPAYER Replies.

MR.. EDITOR:-In answer to the
first part OF Another Taxpayers"
statement in Tuesdays paper, / would
ask him, how is a taxpayer to tell
whether he is overtaxed or not, but by
comparing his property with that of
his neighbors and his taxes also? I
should imagine any right-minded per-
son who pays a just tax, or an unjust
tax, would be very willing to let his
neighbors know how much he pays, but
one whose taxes are below par would
not like it known, as the Assessor
would probably raise him next year.
1t seems peculiar that, although tax
payers are not permitted to see other
peoples taxes, yet they see great
many of them, a little later, in the
newspapers, under the heading of de
llnQuent Tax List
There is another item that should be
brought before the public, how the re-
office if they took any notes from year
to year about the condition of the prop
erty and improvements. 1t seems
great deal is left to memory, for in
stance, the Assessors were on my land
some time in May, and one of them
asked my Japanese servant if I had
fence having been put across the land
The Assessors did not recognize it as
belonging to the original piece, and for
that $50 feet of rough fencing, and a
small chicken house, total worth less
than $50, they assessed me on $500
more this year, as I had not sent in
my returns by January, thinking July
was the time. The right of appeal is
lost; any way, it would be the same
to me, as to a great many small tax
payers, not worth while to employ a
lawyer, or to hang around the court
and lose time and money, for a matter
of So to $40, which, no doubt, the tax
officers very we'll know. The formation
Of taxpayers association and the en-
Dloyment of a lawyer to attend the ap-
peal cases might lessen the expenses
and meet the difficulty. AS regards the
other part Of the letter, "Aonother
Taxpayer" is, no doubt, like myself,
not liable to the Income Tax, so in
hat matter l agree with him.

kAILIPAKA.
Charged With Larceny in the
Second Degree.

Kailipaka, formerly acting second
mate of the steamer Mokolii, has been
charged with larceny in the second
degree in connection with the recent
disappearance of s41O from the safe of
the Mokolii and his trial will probably
come up today.
Kailipaka makes a very serious
charge against Paele, an employe in
the lumber yards of Allen & Robinson.
He told Detective KAPPA yesterday that
Paele stole the money, and very kindly
and considerably gave him a large
share of it to spend.
Kailipaka is just a bit off in his cal
culations. On Monday, August 2, the
day the money was stolen, Paele was
at work in the lumber yards. The
money was put in the safe between 2
and o'clock, and it's disappearance
was discovered at about APO o'clock.
As the employees of the lumber yard do
not finish work until 4:30, it is very
likely that Paele was still at his work.
He would hardly go way across to the
Kinau wharf to steal $40 and then go
back again to work without being no
ticed. According to the stories of the
men in the lumber yard, Paele was
working steadily from 1 o'clock until
quitting time.
There are certain suspicious circum-
stances in regard to Kailipaka's move
ments. They are as follows:
1. He did not go on the Mokolii, as
usual, pleading as an excuse, a lawsuit
in which he was concerned. There are
no suits on the books with which Kai
lipaka had anything to do.
2. He was seen to walk away from
the steamer with a bundle under his
arm, just as the Mokolii was showing
away from the Kinau wharf. This was
wrapped in a coat.
8. From Tuesday night until Satur-
day, Kailipaka spent his time in Au
waiolimu, spending money very lavish
ly and having a good time generally.
