yesterday Judging from the work
that has been brought to us to do by
the soldiers who have passed through,

the average is from seven to ten ca
meras of various sorts in each compa-
ny. From talks ! have had with diff
ferent men ! should Judge that the
average is higher among those troops
which left the United States than
among those which did not get out Of
the country. The farther the soldiers
got away from home the more came

I'm round numbers 25.OO0 troops
have passed through here. At an av-
erage of seven cameras to a company.
this would mean that 1,i5O cameras
have been getting in their work. !
suppose the average among the sol
diers who went to Cuba and Porto
Rico was just as high, which would
give about 5000 cameras clicking

THE TEST CASE.
Can Contracts for Labor be Penalty
Enforced.

The Hawaii Herald gives this ac~
count of the origin of the suit which
will be made a test case Of the penal
enforcement of contract law:
The Honomu Sugar Company filed
complaint against one of its Polish
contract laborers, alleging that the
man was guilty of the crime of break
ing his contract. When the case was
called Attorney Carl 5. Smith inform
ed the court that he appeared for The
prisoner and that he wished to move
that the case be dismissed because
the law under which ii was brought
was contrary to the constitution Of
the United States. The motion was
overruled and the prisoner found gull
ty as charged and ordered back 70
work. Upon his refusal to comply
with the order, Judge Hapai ordered
the man sent TO jail, there to remain
tin he should consent to fulfill his
contract. Mr. Smith filed notice OF
appeal TO the supreme court and he
will go to Honolulu and represent f'r
prisoner in that forum next Friday

STOCK EXCHANGE.
Oahu Assessable Goes Up-Some Low

The feature of the stock market
this morning was the growing
strength displayed by Oahu assess
able as indicated by the sale of Is
shares at 13S, an advance on any price
previously asked for it. Fourteen ana
one-half was asked for Mutual Tele-
phone. In other stocks where there
was a change from yesterdays ask
ing prices it was generally a llttle
downward. For Hawaiian Agricultu-
raj $50 was bid. For Hawaiian Sugar
40 was asked as against 172R yes
terday; $50 for Honokaa as against
3S5; Pioneer 800, as against 400, and
Waimanalo 1927, as against 1917.
These changes are not taken as in
dicating any weakening of values. but
simply that the rise in the prices Of
stocks during the last year and half
has absorbed so much of the available
local capital, that i'm order to sell real
values have to be shaded.

Kick Over the Fifty Cent

The attendance at the regular meeting
Of the Hudson County Merchants Pro-
tective Association at the Avenue House
last night was small. The trading stamp
question came up for discussion. When
the Chairman wanted to know what had
become of the bill recently introduced at
Trenton doing away with the trading
stamp concern. Alderman Howeth in
formed him that he had been told by As
semblyman Adolph Walter. Jr., that the
bill had not yet come before the House,
but that when it did he would vote and
work in its interest.
Mr.. Bates said he had heard that the
trading stamp people had a u of
$40. GOO to use in defeating the measure.
He said he was surprised that senator

Some of the members of the association
are Inclined to kick at the action of the
Fire Board in bringing about a tax Of
fifty cents for license to sell kerosene oil.
They kick, they declare. not so much
against the tax as against the principal
upon which the tax is levied. Counselor
Joseph Anderson. last night, at the re-
quest of the association. submitted O
legal opinion upon the subject. He said
that the power to pass an ordinance
whereby the Fire Board may know where
kerosene oil is stored is reasonable asd
probably authorized by the charter of
Jersey City, but that the power to raise
revenue by way of giving license to sell
or store kerosene oil was altogether a
Inherent question. He expressed grave
doubt as to the lights Of the Fire Board
to exercise such power. He cited (kip

sonable exercise of the power.

GRADE CROSSING STOPPED.
Mayor Hoos vetoes the West Shore
Obstruction OF Seventeenth Street.

OO&t1 - -
The Street and Water Board received
yesterday a veto from the Mayor of the
resolution recently passed authorizing the
laying of a railroad track at grade across
Monmouth street. from the West Shore
Railroad to the company's works. The
Mayor writes that numerous objections
have been made to the proposed crossing
first because it is at grade, and again be-
nothing in the way of compensation
is received by the city. The objections
were made by Andrew j. Corcoran. NJ. T..
and Patrick Connolly and numerous other
property owners interested in the extern
sion of Seventeenth street to the Hill.
When it was first proposed to open Sew
enteenth street to Hoboken avenue, the
West Shore Railroad Company objected
and had the whole matter up in court.
Now Seventeenth street is clear az far
north as the West Shore Railroad. The
property owners fear that If a track is
allowed across the street at grade at this
time they will never be able to have the
street extended and connected with Hobo
ken avenue. The Street and Water Com
missioners will sustain the Mayors veto.

ers of property o N one side of the street,
making the assessment less than on the
other. The objections were filed with the
