F AIRY DANCERS
Opera House Crowded
Saturday Night.
Many Flowers and Much Applause
For Mrs. Gums Dainty
Little Pupils.

All Honolulu attended the exhibition
given by the children of Mrs. Gums
dancing class at the Hawaiian Opera
House on Saturday evening. 1t is an
annual event that draws such crowds
as the big auditorium seldom holds, for
the little ones own friends by the thou
! sands. and everyone is anxious to see
/ then in this the last exhibition of each
year.
Saturday evenings display was one
of the best that they have ever given.
! Society was out in force, and standing
room was at premium when the en-
/ tertainment began. The dainty cos
/ tunes of the little peop.e and their pref
| ty and graceful dancing drew storms of
/ applause and flowers were thrown them
/ by the bushel until they were all
wreathed in leis and crowned with dia-
/ dems OF. posies.
one of the prettiest features of the
| evening was. a Highland fling by eight
| little girls dressed in the tartan and
! plaid OF the Scottish clans. The Low
ers Quarrel given by Francis Brown
and Beatrice Campbell, was very clev-
/ eriy done and won the two little actors
much applause. A scarf dance by Edna
krouse ana manzani lie by Daisy Col-
/ burn were both charmingly executed,
whiie the Partisan Fantasia by Lydia
Wagner was another notable feature.
Inc cake walk, led by Edean Winter,
caused much Iun and tlckled the audi

QUESTION
OF DOUBLE TAXES
Honolulu Stock brokers Up ii
Arms Against ystem
Now Instituted.

Brokers and others who deal ex-
tensively in stocks are somewhat
wrought up over the question of the tax
on the transfer of certificates of stock
under the Territorial law.
Under the war revenue act of the
United States buyers of stocks must
pay tax of two cents per 500 of val
uation Of each transfer of stock. The
law Of the Hawaiian Republic exacted
20 cents per 800 of valuation and as
matters now stand the buyers and sell
ers are forced to pay both taxes
Naturally the two taxes mount up pref
ty heavily and there has been much
kicking by the brokers and others.
At meeting of the Honolulu Stock
Exchange on Saturday it was decided
to take the matter into the courts to
get a decision on the question, and it
was decided to retain Attorney A. G.. NJ.
Robertson to look into it and if neces-
sary begin the legal steps A test case
win probably be begun Immediately
Acknowledgement Dole when appealed
to for decision stated that in his opin-
ion the Hawaiian tax was still in force.
and Treasurer Cooper refuses to give
any opinion on the matter.
10 get the matter into court trans
Ter OF Eva stock will in all probability
be made, and a demand win be made
upon Castle & Cooke to transfer the
stock. refusal will undoubtedly be
met with for the firm declines to make
any transfers until the question is de-
fiEitely settled, and the courts win then
be called upon to give a final decision in
the matter.
