Uglv stories are told ABOUT set OF
men, including high born French, Eop-

established headquarters at Monaco for

Among the II suicides which have

The scandal has grown to suoh pro-

NEEDLE THROUGH HER HEART

NEEDLE ldhOO0h hCn hCh"A'
William J. Garland's septuagenarian
wife was found dead In bed at her home
at Phoebus, Va, yesterday morning.
Garland, who is barely thirty years old,
was the fret person TO see the dead
body. It was believed that Mrs. Gar
lands death was due to heart disease,
as the end had come suddenly, and
there was no perceptible cause of death.
The scrutiny of a careful coroner.
however, revealed that a needle had
been thrust through the wOman's hea:t'
The incislon in the skin, just below the
left breast, was 30 minute as to be al
most indistinguishable Garland was
arrested shortly afterwsrd aud is now
in jsil, charged with murder.
He says his wife complained OF being
i'll Yesterday morning and he gave heI
a drink of gin. Then he went for the
doctor. When he returned he founo
her dead.
The couple came to Phoebus from
Philadelphia two weeks ago, ana pur,
chased saloon. They were married
- x months ago in Camden. N. j.. where
ne dead woman owned considerable
real estate. She was Mrs. Bidela Youpt
uefore ber marriage with Garland, ane
has relatives living in Philadelphia. -,
The police theory is that Garland
having tired of his wife. drugged hel
and killed her while she slept. Th'
Garlands were an odd couple in theil
| bebayior toward each other, according
10 the Phoebus police. and the disparity
in their ages caused a great deal OF Cos
sip. which was anything but pleasing Il
The husband. Several days ago Mn
Garland transferred the deed for :! ,OO
LOT to her husband. In the room where
the body lay the officers, while inspect
ing the premises last night, found sew
eral rolls of bills aggregating $S5o.

THE STAMP TAX.

The Hawaiian Excise Must Still be
Paid.
The subject of stamp taxes on certifl-
Gates of stock is settled 50 far as the
Territorial Government is concerned.
Notice is given in this issue that the
Hawaiian stamp tax is still in force
Whether it is legal or not must be de-
termined by the courts. But there does
not seem to be any widespread opinion
among lawyers that it is illegal. AS 10
its being double taxation, il is pointed
out that one tax is collected by the
Territorial Government and the other
by the federal government, so that
though there are two taxes, there is no
double taxation in the legal sense. 1t
is said to be analogous to the license
and internal revenue tax collected Of
liquor dealers. Each dealer in liquors,
is required to pay a federal liquor deal
eTs tax, the payment of which is evi-
denced by a document in the form or
a license. But everywhere throughout
the States liquor dealers also have To
pay their local license, the payment of
which is also evidenced by a license.

TROUBLE N SAILOR MONEY

The water front row over shipping
sailors has had the effect Of knocking
the bottom out OF prices. The terms OF
twenty dollars head for shipping men
are no longer heard of since the cap
tains began 60 combine against the
shipping men who had been controlling
the business.
The scramble for business also seems
60 have had the eeffct OF cutting heav-
lily into sailors wages. Turk a. Lewis
are quoted as Offering men for $40 a
month to the Coast, and Offering to get
them on board vessels for a merely
nominal sum. The rate for men to the
Coast, but one captain who wants a big
crew, has been told he can have one
for $40, and Turk & Lewis offered to
get it for him.
The ship masters who were informed
that they would be tied up II they tried
to get crews without using the two
shipping men, are ah5nt to look for
crews now. and the water front watches
with interest to see If they will manage
to get away Since the thrashing Of
Erdall the business has been completely
transformed. Erdall is going away as
the mate of the r. G.. Ropes He Is
still sore, especially where he was kick
ed about the body Erdall says he pro-
poses to come back to Honolulu after
this trip.

THE WORK NOW PRETTY FULLY
UNDER WAY.
Fred Hasson is Temporarily chief Dep
uty Of Collector Haywood Until a Per-
manent Appointment Can be Made.

The internal revenue office Is a very
busy place today. Collector Haywood
has not yet appointed his chief deputy,
and as the position Is one that requires
in addition to good administrative abil-
ity, a great deal of technical knowledge,
he will not appoint one until he finds
just the right man. Fred Hasson, how
ever, who has an intimate knowledge
of the internal revenue service, and
great capacity for detail and organiza-
ton, has volunteered to act temporarily
as the chief deputy and Collector Hay
wood has very gladly aVailed himself
of Mr.. Hasson's services. SO that today,
though the office is i'm temporary quar-
ters, and the subject is new both to the
officials and the public, the office is In
a sense fully organized, and those who
have business with it are having their
business transacted without any diff
Guilty.
1t is announced for the information of
the public in general and for dealers in
particular, that all stocks of tobacco,
cigars, cigarettes, spirits and beer ac-
tually on hand June IA, do not require
the war revenue stamp. All proprietary
articles and wine do require the war
revenue stamp. Dealers must inventory
their stock of these goods which do not
require the war revenue stamp, and the
packages will be marked for identifica-
Agent b. II. Thomas says merchants
| may go ahead and inventory their
stock and keep on selling, holding the
| inventories until the revenue officials
reach them to check them up and put
on the marks of indentihcation.
There is little danger, Mr.. Thomas
says, that the government will be de-
! frauded of revenue during the time re-
quired to put the internal revenue sys-
| tenn in full operation. He does not
| think the loss of revenue will amount to
| $1,000. About the only way there could
be any defrauding of the revenue would
be by the dealers replenishing stocks
of unstamped goods. This would be ex-
| ceedingly difficult to do. American
| dealers would not dare to send down
any stocks of unstamped goods.
One feature of the cigar business
| which will be new to dealers and the
| people and dealers here will be the law
| prohibiting the use of cigar boxes or
| tobacco packages after they have been
| once used. AS a matter of precaution
Revenue Agent Thomas intends to re-
quire that all cigar boxes must be de-
| stroyed as soon as they are emptied.
| He has the right to do this under the
| law.
! The work of inventorying stocks and
marking packages for Identification is
| going on as rapid yas it can, and the
work through the country districts will
| begin very shortly.

GENERAL CHANGE OF BASE IS
COMING.
Half Of Lower Floor Of judiciary Build
ing to be Used by United States
Other Important Changes.

Some great changes in the arrange
ment Of the offices at the two govern
ment buildings will be made as a result
of the new political situation. In "a
few days people will be at a loss to find
the various bureaus. but when the loca-
tion of each is found out it will be seen
that the new arrangement is much
more convenient than the old.
The most important shift will be in
the offices under the old interior de-
partment. These iuclU 2 the road
board, waterworks and superintendent
of public works. All of these offices
will be moved from the building on the
Kakaako side of the judiciary into the
basement of the Executive Build
ing where they will all be un-
der the eye of Superintendent j.
A. McCandless. w. Il. Rowell will be
appointed assistant superintendent of
public works; Andrew Brown will con-
tinue in charge of the waterworks, and
Marston Campbell will look after the
roads of the city.
Another big change is that the Board
of Health will be moved from the Judi
ciary building into the offices to be va
Gated by the public works and water
works departments. Lock, stock and
barrel will go over there.
The old legislative hall on the ground
floor of the judiciary building will be
fitted up for service as a United States
court and will be occupied by District
Judge Estee The rooms now occupied
by the immigration bureau and the
United States census will eventually he
turned over for use by the court Off
Cials
superintendent Atkinson, of the
Board of Education, will occupy the
big room at the rear of the education
office formerly used for meetings. In
spector Townsend and Normal lnstruc-
tor Gibson will occupy the hook room.
The large room will be divided, the rear
given over to books and the front to
the secretary and school agent.
The basement of the Executive build
ing will be occupied by the election Off
Cials commissioner of agriculture and
probably some other smaller bureau.
The entire Waikiki end of the Judi
ciary building, lower floor, will be turn
ed over to the United States.
