kiki road. II was returned at $500,
assessed at $4,000 and valued by the
Tax Appeal Court at $500. A peculiar
feature stated by the court Is that the
tract is subject to lease for forty
years at a rental Of only 800 a year.
the lease having twenty-one and a
half years yet to run, while there seems
to be no dispute that the land unin-
numbered is worth $4,000. 1t is upon
this phase Of the case that the court
declares the principle already quoted
in the syllabus. In the body of the
opinion the court says that the eight
year rental rule. according to former
Hawaiian decisions, makes the valua.
ton generally "manifestly unfair and
unjust" when, as in this case. the
property was leased years ago at a
smaller rental than could now be OBJ
tanned.
THE value OF the landlords inter-
est increases and that of the tenants
interest decreases as the expiration oil
the term approaches, other things re.
naming constant, observes the APP.
pellate court.
Chief Justice Frear writes the opin.
ion, Justices Galbraith and Perry con-
curing. and II concludes as follows:
THE decision Of the Tax. Appeal
Court assessing the lot on Union
square at $4,000 is affirmed and that
assessing the appellee's interest in the
lot at Pawaa at $500 is reversed and
that interest is assessed at $780,"
In arriving at the valuation of the
Pawaa lot the appellate court acted on
the consent Of the Bishop Estate Trus-
tees to an assessment of $4,000 and or
a competition that $500 would be q
little less than $500 plus sum that
would at seven per cent compound In,
terest amount to $4,000 In twenty.

$4,000 to be received at the end OF
twenty-one years. discounting at the
rate Of seven per cent per annum, com.

THE MEHRTEN CASE.
Under our statutes, one who re-
turns land for assessment purposes az
sole owner, without mention Of q
lease to which It is subject, cannot on
appeal set up the lease to show that
he had a less interest than that re-
turned"
Chief Justice Frear Is also author OF
the unanimous opinion Of the Supreme
Court. Of which the foregoing is the
syllabus, on the appeal Of the Tax
Assessor from the assessment by the
Tax Appeal Court Of a lot in Homo
lulu belonging to Emily X. Mehrter
having a frontage OF 345 feet on Ala.
kea street, 80 feet on Queen street and
81 feet on Halekauila street, the area
being 1887 square feet. The lot II
subject to a lease made In January
1895. for fifteen years at an annual
rental of 5000. An undisputed finding
Is that the lot, II unincumbered by the
lease. would be worth $4,000. The
value of the landlords interest by tnt
eight year rule would be $1,000. Thii
Is the amount returned by the taxpayer
and fixed by the Tax Appeal Court

There was time when people

some disease grow upon them until 1t
caused the loss of their hair. How
different today are their feelings, now
that a handy. safe and pleasant toilet
specific is obtainable at their nearest
Drug Store. No man can be SO totally
blind to facts as to doubt that Coke

the public test that has been made of

past thirty days. which was started
by the successful distribution of Free
Samples at Hebron Drug Co.'S.
We might publish hundreds of testi.

skeptical as to the great merit in Coke

"A decision Of tax appeal court,

Of jury verdict, should not be dis
turbed for light reasons.
ITO apply the eight-year rental rule
Civil Laws Section 500 to determine
the value OF the landlords interest In
land for purposes Of taxation would be
manifestly unfair and unjust where the
land was leased nineteen years ago at
rental Of only 500 a year and 10
now worth $4,000, although the lease
has twenty-one years yet to run. The
landlords interest Is assessed at 81
500.
When a taxpayer makes a return
within the time prescribed by tho
statute, and the assessor gives him
further time for furnishing additional
information. and he furnishes such in
formation and II is accepted by the
assessor as part Of the return, the lat.
ter cannot object on appeal that the
return was not complete In the first

The foregoing Is q syllabus OF de-
cision Of the Supreme Court on an ap-
peal by the Tax Assessor from the as
sessment made by the Tax Appeal
Court Of two pieces Of land belonging
to the Bishop Estate. The first is o
lot fronting on Union square, Homo

Evidence was taken regarding valua-
tions Of adjacent property, but the
Supreme Court Rnds the evidence rath-
er meager on which to base an esti-
mate Of the value Of the lot. This In

JOHN M. GRAVES DIES
RATHER UNEXPECTEDLY
Grand Secretary Of the Ancient Order
Of Druids Succumbs to Attack
of Apoplexy.


John NJ. Graves, grand secretary OF the
Grand Grove of Druids, died at his home,
1OO31s Valencia street, last night after
short illness. Graves, who was a native Of
Hartford, Conn.,, and II years of age, was
in his office up to ten days ago, when an
attack of la grippe, from which he had
been suffering for a short time, compelled
him to relinquish his duties. He was
thought to be improving when suddenly
last Friday he was stricken with apo
plexy.
Graves was for many years resident
of Modesto. He moved to this city about
five years ago, when he was elected to the
Office of grand secretary. He was re-elect-
ed four times in succession. He was ex-
ceedingly well versed in Druidism. He had
the faculty of making friends at sight
and was quite popular in every grove in
the jurisdiction Among the members OF
the order he YVES better known as Papa"
Graves than as grand secretary. He was
a member of Modesto Grove, u. A o. D.,
Four Creek Lodge and Modesto Encamp-
ment of the Odd Fellows and Modesto
Lodge, A. o. U. w. He leaves wife and
two sons grown to mans estate, one
practicing physician in this city and the
other a resident of Modesto. The funeral
will be held under the auspices of the
DruidS.

NOVELIST GUNTER PAYS
VISIT TO HIS OLD HOME
Clever Author of "Mr. Barnes Of New
York" Will Spend the Win
Ter Here

Archibald C1avering Gunter, the we'll
known author, arrived yesterday from
New York and registered at the Grand.
He came here to look after his realty
holdings.
Gunter says that his latest book, THE
Deacon's Second Wind" is a story Of
country girl who goes to New York, be-
comes rich, but is afraid to tell her par
ents. She eventually returns to her home
on the farm and after working around
the place finally tells her parents of her
wealth.
Gunter is the owner of the Home Pub
fishing Company of New York and says
that the business takes up so much of his
time he is unable to devote much atten-
ton to his literary work.
Gunter was born in Liverpool. but came
to California with his parents when four
years old. He grew up In this city, but
went to New York IN 1875. His first book,
"Mr. Barnes of New York." made him
famous He expects to remain here sew
eral months and will renew old acquaint-
ances. He still considers San Francisco
his home. He is a member of the Bo-
hemian Club.
