HALF A MILLION
IN lREENBACKS
Was Destroyed Yesterday by the
Treasursr-Oid Hawaiian
s Notes.

IF anyone had happened to stroll into
the treasurer's office at the capitol build
ing yesterday afternoon about o'clock
he could have witnessed the destruction
of about n half million dollars in
greenbacks.
The money was part of an old issue Of
Hawaiian notes under the monarchy. and
had never been in circulation. 1t was
composed entirely of fifty and one hun
dred dollar banknotes IN books, and alto
getker the Pile represented over half a
million dollars. The crisp greenbacks

blind man would not have accepted
them as legal tender. The work was
done by two clerks under the supervision
of Cashier Henry Kapai, and the clerks
We're racing to see In how short time
they could destroy the little books which
at one time represented such a large
amount in cold cash. They averaged
about twenty thousand dollars a minute
There are still number of these old
Hawaiian treasury notes in circulation,
and at irregular intervals one IS present
ed at the treasury for payment. 1t IS
to render these old notes valueless that
they were cancelled yesterday. with the
saRle machine that is used in perforat-
ing all the old issue as they are brought
in for redemption. This money would
not have been accepted even If rendered.
as it did not bear the signature of the
Minister of the Interior, but to avoid the
possibility of some of the greenbacks
finding their way out. and allowing an
for forging the signature. it
was thought advisable to destroy them.
The money would have been burned. |
but as there is no authorization for such
an act, the cancellation was decided up
on instead.

NO MORE MALT
BEER LICENSES

No more malt beer licenses are to be
issued by Treasurer Wright until the
termination Of the case in the Federal
court to determine the constitutionality
of the liquor law in so far as it relates
to the issuance of such licenses. The
fight in the United States court is on
the theory that the law granting L.
censes to vendors of Primo beer at
less figure for that brewed in other
States is violation Of the interstate
commerce law.
There are now pending the following
applications for licenses not yet acted

FOR SURVEY WORK
IN THE ISLANDS
Prof. Alexander Tells of the Plans
OF the u s. Bureaus
for Hawaii. 's

Prof. w. d. Alexander, head of the
United States Geological Survey Bu-
reau in Hawaii, who returned in the
Washington a large amount of infor-
nation concerning the plans of the
United States Geological Survey for
these Islands. An appropriation Of $2O.-
600 has been asked by the survey de-
partment with which to commence
thorough Investigations in the group.
The appropriation viii be asked OF
Congress at its present session, and
the probability is that the amount ask
ed for Will be set apart.
Under this appropriation valuable
scientific Investigations can be made
here in line with the exhaustive work
done by the survey in all parts of the
United States. Professor Alexander
was impressed with the high character
of the men in the geological survey
under the Department of the Interior
and the coast and geodetic survey un-
der the Treasury Department.
He does not believe that the depart
ment viii do much for Hawaii for
the present, as its attention is directed
to the Philippines, where a majority
of the best men in the survey saaTiee
are now engaged. The question of
whether this work in the Philippines
should be conducted by the coast sur-
vey or the navy, led to a disagreement
between the two houses Of Congress.
The coast survey finally won. The
work is great undertaking on ac-
count of the incorrect and incomplete
Spanish charts of the archipelago
Professor Alexander points to an
achievement of the survey department
just completed, which is a complete
of the longest line
across the United States. accomplished
by a perfectly organized system of tri-
anguIation with accurately chained
base lines. giving a greater arc of the
earth's surface than ever measured be- |
fore elsewhere. The list compiled by !
Professor Alexander of the geoSraphi- |
cal points, places and objects in the |
Islands was placed in the hands of the |
chief of the survey department in
Washington. and will shortly be pub
lished. During his trip Professor Al :
exander attended the Yale bicentennial /
being one of the graduates !
Of that institution.

Tampico and Lita Start Together

There was a good beginning of what
may be an interesting race yesterday
forenoon, when the Globe Navigation
Company's steamer Tampico and the
German ship Lita, both started from

are bound for the Sound. and although

between a sailing vessel and a steamer
