T.NV0VES LOTS OF MONEY NAVAL RESERVE project
SUIT TO RECOVER CUSTOMS
DUTIES PAID.
Effects Nearly All Revenue from This
Source Collected Since Last August
Gases Being Watched.

The suit of w. G. Peacock q Co
against the government for alleged
excess duties paid at the custom house
has been submitted to the supreme
bench for a decision. This matter In
wolves over 100000, and is the amount
of tariff paid by the plaintiff on liqu-
ors imported from the United States
from the time the American flag was
hoisted here on August 18th last to the
time of the filing of the suit which was
the latter part of January.
The case is most important one as
IL involves more than three -fourths of
the revenues collected through the GUS
toms bureau since the formal act of
annexation last summer. Lovejoy g.
co. have instituted identical proceed
ings. The two cases will admit full
argument of all phases of the matter
at issue. Other claimants for rebates
will abide the decisions of the court in
these two suits
Peacock q co. and Lovejoy IL Co.
have both paid all customs duties since
August 18th under protest. Their
strong point is that the assessment of
a tariff on goods from the United
States is against the constitutional pro-
vision relating to Interstate commerce
and also contrary to the laws of the
United States relating to coasting
trade and shipping. This matter not
only effects tariff on liquors but every
other commodity imported from the
mainland upon which a duty is inn
posed.
Kinney, Ballou & McClanahan are
attorneys for the plaintiffs in the suit
and Attorney General Cooper appears
for the government.

PRESIDENT DOLE TAKES PARTY
TO PUNCHBOwL.
The Soil is Found Suitable, the Scenic
Features Adaptable, but Should 1t
be a Cemetery?

Consideration is still being given to
the question of a suitable cemetery
site. President Dole yesterday after
noon took a party of those specially
interested in the subject to the crater
of Punchbowl to look over that as
possible site.
Previous to taking the party up
there had been dug, under the direction
of the road supervisor, number Of
holes in various parts of the crater,
to show the character of the soil. There
are about a dozen of these altogether
some near the rim of the crater at va
rious points and others lower down
toward the center. They would seem
to be numerous enough and so located
as to show fully the character of the
soil and ground i'm which graves would
have to be dug if the site is adopted
In only one or two places, and those
very close to the rim of the crater, was
rock encountered, and even in these
places 1t was broken, friable rock, cas-
lily handled with pick and shovel.
In some places very close to the rim
of the crater, too, nothing but soil was
encountered. Lower down in the Cra-
ter all the eXcavating showed an inde-
finite depth of soil and black sand
1t is roughly estimated that there are
about 100 acres of land available, the
soil of which throughout is suitable
lOG CelueleIy purposes he crater
would undoubtedly lend itself to the
landscape and park features of a cem-
! etery. There is a good road all the
way. The distance from the city is
not great A foot path for pedestri-
| ans could easily be constructed over
the face of the eminence, still further
shortening the distance for those Wis
| iting the cemetery.
The bowl of the crater is covered
| with a dense growth of lantana and al
| garoba trees. The elevation is not so
/ great but that water could be brought
| without great expense or trouble. In
| every particular the location seems to
have the necessary requisites for Gem
etery site. There was nevertheless a
| strong feel felt and expressed by the
members of the party that the place
ought to be reserved for a park rather
! than a cemetery.
President Dole said that excavations
made at Moanalua since that location
| was visited few weeks ago, had
shown that it was entirely unsuitable
| for a cemetery site, rock being encoun-
tered all over it at depths ranging
| from a few inches to two or three feet
| from the surface.

JANET WALDORF.

Miss Waldorf is a Pittsburg girl and
is about % years old. She is tall, with
a regal figure and instructive grace of
movement 1t is said her greatest
charm perhaps is in her voice, which
is soft as velvet, yet rich and sono-
rouS.
She has been touring the west for a
year in a repertory of the Shakesperean
and classic plays which have often
served to exploit young women stars
In the spring she is going to Australia
for a year under the management of
Williamson & Musgrove. Her princi-
pal roles are Juliet, Julia, Imogen,
Viola, Parthenia, Pauline and Rosa

a revelation as Rosalind, and she will
probably make her debut in AS You

is WELL RECEIVED AND READY
FOR ACTION.
Open to Everybody Interested in the
Matter-Instructions From the Navy
Department Expected Soon.

The cordial approval Secretary OF
the Navy Long gives to the proposed
Hawaiian Naval Reserve as indicated
by the dispatches from Washington.
is very encouraging to those who are
interested i'm the matter. The idea orr
ginated with f. b. McStocker and at
his request j. B. Castle wrote to Sec
rotary Long asking for fun and de-
tailed information concerning the or
garization of this branch of the Anne
rican militia. This will doubtless be
received within q short time. In the
meanwhile consideration can be given
to the subject. Those wishing to join
such an organization can give i'm their
names, and when the desired informa-
tion comes a meeting can be called to
organize and elect officers. 1t is sug-
gested that there should be several
companies For If. as seems probable.
a practice or training ship is sent here
the different divisions of the reserve
can be given successive weeks on ii
for practice.
The organization need not be con-
fined to Honolulu. Other places in the
Islands can organize companies and
share in the benefits. Hilo ought to be
able to organize at least one company,
and the training ship could spend some
time there to give them the benefit of
practice.
with the large number of young
men here Interested in one way or an
other in aquatics and aquatic sports,
as members of the boat clubs or other
wise" said Mr. McStocker, there
ought to be no difficulty in getting up
a first class organization. For my own
part [ know of no intention to make
it an exclusive affair. Everybody in
terested in such an organization is
welcome to come in and take part in
the organization. All that can be done
now is to receive the names of those
who would like to join, so that there
need be no delay when we hear from
the navy department"

MORE OF THEM USED.

There are probably more Singer sew
ing machines used in the United States
than of acy other one make. This is
very excellent guarantee that they are
one of the very best machines. The
points of merit are strength, durabil-
ity, easy running and simple construc-
tion. Very little mechanism to get out
of order makes repair bills small.
When IN need of new sewing ma
chine examine the Singer before pur-
chasing any other make. b. Berger
