HIRAM sAWTELlE's DAUGHTER.
Is Singing at the Gaiety, Theatre This
Week.

| A name appears on the programme at
the Gaiety theatre this week which re-
calls tragedy which Mortified the people
of Maine and New Hampshire, and all
| New England for that matter few
years ago. TheIname was that of Miss
Marion f. Sawtelle, who is daughter
of Hiram Sawtelle, who was murdered
by his brother Isaac in the woods of New
Hampshire border in 1890.
The death of her father occurred when
she was years old.
The family have since supported them
selves by little store in Roxbury.
Marion was one of the witnesses at the
trial which resulted in the conviction of
Isaac Sawtelle, and she was favorite
on account of her bright manners. with
the reporters and officials who worked
on the case.
After it was all over, Mrs. Sawtelle
gave up their house on Dudley street and
went to live over the store. A little res
taurant was added to the premises, and
here, at the age of s, Marion resumed the
serious part of her life. Being the eldest
of the family she was of much assistance
to her mother, and her help was needed,
for the widow had hard time to make
both ends meet.
Two years ago she attended the Frank
lin grammar school several months, but,
as she expresses it, business at the
store was SO quiet. that sheimade up her
mind, with the approval of her mother.
that she ought to 60 to work.
Since that time the girl has appeared
as singer and dancer at various parlor
entertainments, and her modest earnings
were of material assistance to the family
Her first permanent engagement was
with the Grand Opera house in Boston
about month ago.
The mother and. the other children
smile amid their troubles now to find
the name of Sawtelle before the public
In something else beside tragedy.

ROBT. n. GREY OF KOBE SHOWS
SOME FACTS.
Says the Government Winked at Ir-
regularities in Kobe-Now Playing
Grand Stand Policy.

Robert n. Grey, a business man of
Kobe, Japan, who arrived here last
week on a trip for his health. does not
think that anything like serious
trouble will result from the misunder-
standing between Hawaii and Japan
over immigration matters. Mr.. Gray
has been resident of Kobe for nine
years. During the recent excitement
he has been close observer of the
people at Kobe, the home of the M
merous emigration companies and the
principal port of exit.
''Were it not for the clamor of the
lower classes" said Mr.. Grey last
night, sit is my opinion that Japan
would have failed TO protest against
the action of Hawaii, but having wink
ed at the little Irregularities of the
immigration business for so long, the
Imperial Government was forced TO
make the grand stand play she did by
sending the Naniwa here. She seems
to be keeping up the bluff, although
nobody at home thinks she can gain
anything.
"The upper classes of the japanese
seem to take conservative view of the
case. While the lower classes are
shouting for war with Hawaii or the
United States or any other power that
interferes with japanese schemes. the
higher classes want the Government
possible. They fear Russia. They
know that if they send a large force
abroad, Russia may take possession of
Korea, and that they could never
stand. They do not care much tor
China, for. having bested China, they
know that she will not tackle them
again without powerful aid behind
| her.
'"The foreign residents of Japan have
naturally taken a great interest n the
threatened trouble between Japan and
the United States, but the general feel
ing is that it will never amount 10 any
thing. Japan is pretty impudent since
she whipped China, but she is far 700
wise to go to war with any o. the
greater powers. The lower classes
may clamor and the press urge them
on, but the men who are in the Gov
ernment will never make trouble ur-
der the present conditions.
"We had news that the anncX%'iOr
treaty had been signed and sent tc
the Senate before we left Japan. II
was not a surprise, as we had expect
ed it all along. Again it is the love,
class that is setting up the howl
which the press is bound to respect IL
order to be popular"

PAUOA ROAD.

The road supervisor has made a
couple of visits to the Pauoa valley
road recently, and has not been seen
since. There is report that he has
been lost in the mud, and though
there is foundation for the report,
it is not a fact. He is only meditating
putting another gang of road scrapers
to solid work? Those four hundred
odd tax payers are expressing them
selves very forcibly every morning
that they wade through the boot-cov-
ering mud.

HE WANTS A CHANCE.

Among the callers at the Star Office
today was Nigel Jackson. He very
courteously announced that he was
not in the "scrappin'" business, al
though if they wanted to insult him
she wasn't goin' to take no water.
Jackson acknowledged the event of
figuring in a mill at Waikiki Park the
other night, but claims he had been in
suited. "All | want is chance 10
earn an honest living" said he as he
took his leave, which he may do if
he leaves scrappin' alone.

CHARGED WITH CRUELTY TO A
HORSE.
He Says 1t Was an Accident, But Miss
Wilder Is Rather Inclined to Prose-
cute the Case.

Professor Ingalls, of Punahou College
is threatened with arrest-and by a
woman. He has incurred the dis
pleasure of Miss Helen Wilder by NAL
treating a bal<y horse, and she
threatens to exercise her authority,
as special humane officer, to bring him
to a realization of the cnormity OF T. G
offense he has committed.
Professor Ingalls, protests his inno-
cence, and has made lengthy explain
alton, but Miss Wilder is not alto
gether satisfied that it was an acci-
dent, as claimed. and may yet decide
to have the Professor taken into
Court.
1t appears that Professor ingalls,
gained possession of balkv horse,
and in casting about for cure for his
stubbornness lit upon the plan Of ty-

The General and Particular Conten-

Every Citizen is Deeply Interested.

The Star publishes this afternoon
the general and particular grounds
taken by the counsel for the plaintiff
in the bill of complaint brought by
James CamT bell, on behalf of the tax
payers. to test the constitutionality of
the income tax law.
The contention of the counsel is
based upon the following grounds:
"(a) The said income tax law re
qures the plaintiff to pay taxes on IN
come. either in the form of money or
in investments representing the same,
upon which the plaintiff is taxed un-
der the provisions of said Act 81.
"(b) The said income tax law cN-
cmpts from income tax all persons
having an income of less than $1,000,
and also corporations, companies or
associations organized and conducted
solely for charitable, religious, educa-
tonal or scientific purposes. including
fraternal beneficiary societies, orders
or associations operating upon The
lodge system and providing for the
payment of life sick. accident or other
benefits to members of such societies,
orders or associations, and depend
ents of such members: the stocks.
shares, funds. real and personal prop
erty. or securities held by any fidu-
ciary or trustee for charitable, relt-
g'ious, educational or scientific pur-
poses.
''(c) The said income tax allows IN
exemption of two thousand dollars
upon incomes under four thousand
dollars. whereas no such exemption is
allowed upor incomes over four thous-
and dollars.
"(d) The said income tax law eX
! empts from an income tax al profits
realized from sales OF real estate pul.
chased more than two years previous
to the close of the year for which in
come is estimated.
"(e) The said income tax law makes
no deduction for any amount paid out
for new buildings, permanent improve
ments or betterments made to in
crease the value of any property or es
| tate.
"f) The said income tax law taxes
the salaries of the President and d
the Justices of the Supreme Court as
officers of the Republic.
"(g) The said income tax law neces
sarily requires double and duplicate
taxation of property.
"(h) The said income tax law un
reasonably and unlawfully exempt
persons and property from taxation
"GD The said income tax law doe
not require each member of society 4
contribute his proportion or share L
taxes.
"O The said income tax law re
quires no returns or taxes of mercan
tile firms, and imposes no taxes o
partnership property, income or gain
other than by requiring returns fror
and taxing individual members q
such firms in respect of their severe
interests in the firm property and ir
come derived therefrom whereof
much partnership property and in
come are necessarily untaXed, result
ing in an unlawful discriminate
against the property and income q
