.A TRICK THAT IS Vain
SHIPPERS UNDERWRITING THEIR
GOODS.
Japanese Merchants Send a Represen-
tative to Straighten Out Shipping
Matters in the Far East.

The Japanese Merchants Association
sope time ago sent a req, esentative td
Japan to give some much needed in
structions to shippers there, on the
lines OF the recent exposure of the prac-
tices of the shippers in making out too
small invoices The custom of under
valuing goods sent here is very general
throughout the orient, and under Ha-
waiian laws it was to an extent sue
cess as means of avoiding paying full
duties, but under American laws it is
not only useless, but subjects the con-
signee to a heavy fine, if he does not
come to time.
"The practice of undertaking ship
ments in the orient is very general" I"
said custom house broker Johnson,
who represents the Merchants associa-
tion in such a matters, but as far as
the shippers to Japanese are concerned,
it will soon be done away with. Possi-
bly, some duty might be escaped under
the Hawaiian customs system, but,
none can be escaped under American
laws, by such methods The entry of
such an invoice would subject the con-
signee to a fine and the Japanese have
soon learned this. The undervaluations
come just the same, but the consignees
here do not use them at the custom
house. They are obliged to make out
correct invoices for entry, and so the
work at the other end is useless"
In some other respects the shippers
who send goods to Hawaii do not seem
to understand the American laws, OF
else do not appropriate the fact that
the laws apply here, and the agent who
has been sent will explain matters
thoroughly, so that there need be nc
trouble in the future.

The Meade viii however undoubted-
ly carry many a friendly package from
relatives and acquaintances to the SOL
diers of the Great Republic. Some lit
tie home made comfort perhaps, a
housewife stitched by loving fingers
perhaps money, a pipe or other crea-
ture comforts that will speak of home
to many a big, bronzed fellow and
bring a lump to his throat and a tear
to his eye as he sees the dear familiar
writing on the envelope while the
sparkle of tropic leaves beneath the
perpetual rain of the wet season seems
but a poor substitute for the hoar
frost at home or the languid heat a
sorry change for the eager air that set
the blood to tingling in the veins.
Although the use of the Meade as a
free mail carrier is limited to connec-
tions of the army a fact not perhaps
thoroughly understood, magazines and
novels for the Libraries can be sent
free at any time by the Meade or other
transports if clearly marked for that
purpose and will serve to tighten the
heart of many a downhearted man who
was neither friends or relatives who
have remembered him. The pariah OF
many a company has been kept from
a periodical outbreak by something to

INSPECTION OF FINEST
FIRST EXAMINATION OF POLICE
SINCE ANNEXATION.
High Sheriff Brown Well Pleased With
Showing Made by the Force-Will
Make Inspection Monthly.

The first inspection of the police
force, since the islands became a Unit
ed States territory, was held this
morning at the police station by High
Sheriff Brown. All of the members of
the force who were not required on
duty were present in line and were Civ
en- a careful inspection.
This inspection was interesting, from
the fact that it was the first time the
Honolulu cops were gathered together
and could be christened THE Finest,
that distinctively American appellation
of the police. In every way, the men
showed themselves worthy of that
characterization. They made a splen-
did showing and were a credit to the
department and to the Territory of Ha-
wall. The men would compare both
in size and neat appearance with the
forces of the biggest cities on the
Mainland. What they lacked in num-
ber was compensated for by the front"
which the men put up.
At the last inspection, over yean
ago, Mr.. Cooper was then attorney
Seneral, and he attended the gathering
of the men. Attorney-General Dole
was unable to attend the inspection to-
day, so High Sheriff Brown was alone
in the work. Deputy High Sheriff
Chillingworth was unable to attend on
account of having broken two ribs
while playing football several days
ago. The men were in charge of Cap
tain Parker the senior captain of the
force. There were 30 men and officers
of the patrol division, and twelve men
from the mounted police present.
The inspection today was held prin-
cipally for the purpose OF ascertain
ing the condition of the equipment Of
the men, They appeared in their reg
ulation uniforms of blue helmets and
coats and white trousers and carried
clubs. The mounted division wore the
regulation blue uniform and high cav
airy boots and clubs. The mounted
men were also given an inspection with
their carbines and sings.
High Sheriff Brown was very much
pleased with the showing made by the
force. The men had kept their equip
ment in excellent condition and, in
consequence, were able to make nat
ty showing.
High Sheriff Brown will have an
other inspection next week, when the
men will be given an opportunity OF
showing their efficiency I'm the drill,
which the force has been learning for
some time past. The men will on that
occasion, wear felt hats, blue shirts
handkerchiefs, khaki trousers and leg
gings and carry rifles. The hats have
not, as yet, been finished but viii be
ready in time for the drill Attorney
General Dole will probably be present
at the inspection next week and watch
the maneuvers of the force.
1t is the intention of High Sherltt
Brown to make the drills regular
monthly feature of the police depart
ment work. He is certainly to be con-
graduated on the efficiency of the
force as shown today for the man
would be a credit any where.

TWO MORE DECISIONS

Two more decisions overruling the
First Circuit court were handed down
this morning by the Supreme Court,
making three this week In both cases
this morning 1t is the First circuit. one
being an appeal from Humphreys and
the othe rfrom Edngs. One is the case
of the Wailuku Sugar Company against
the Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar
Company in which the court granted
an Injunction to restrain the responds
ents from constructing stone wall In
Wailuku stream. The other decision
was in the case of Lum Sung, Lo Pau
and Pong Chong, doing business as the
''Yee Sing TIA Company" When it
was found that the right name of the
company was Yee Sing Tai, the court
refused to allow an amendment to the
declaration to make it conform to the
proofs.
In the Kafnalo case the defendants
have filed a motion to be. allowed to
take the deposition of Martin Smith, In
San Francisco.
The De Greaves divorce case was
heard this morning before Judge Hum
phreys, taking up all the morEing. 1t
is the second suit to separate the cou-
pie. The wife brought the last one,
charging adultery, but the husband
successfully defended it. Now the hus-
band has suit on the same grounds

FALLS INTO A FORTUNE
HARRY EVANS GETS 100000 FOR A
HOTEL IN WALES.
Will Go to England on The Next Boat.
Railroad Wanted the Property of an
Old Estate in Wales.

Harry L. Evans, manager of the Ha-
waiian Ballasting Company, has fallen
heir to a snug little fortune that is said
to amount to eighty thousand pounds
sterling of good English sovereigns, or
nearly half a million dollars. Evans,
who has been in the Islands long
enough to be esteemed a kamaaina. Is
a Welshman by birth and is heir to a
public house or semi-hotel, semi-inn in
his native Wales.
Sometime ago the late Horace Wright
was detailed by instructions from the
old country to look up Evans and open
negotiations between him and the at
torneys of O railroad in England who
were desirous of cutting through the
property, the public house being sur
rounded by considerable ground. Evans
promptly placed himself In communlca-
tion, this all occurred some three years
ago, and received in the couse of time
S25,0O0 on account of the deal. Since
then the matter has been tied up in the
involutions of the British law courts.
Yesterday the Hong Kong Maru
brought the glad news that the affair
has been settled and today Evans is
setting up champagne to his friends
He will take the first steamer back to
Liverpool and hasten on to Wales to
claim his windfall and make sure that
the eighty thousand golden sovereigns
are not chimera.
AS far as present seeming goes, the
money is no myth and congratulations
will not prove premature. Evans has
not decided yet what he will do with his
fortune when he gets it, whether he will
stay in the land of the leek or come
back to Honolulu, build palatial man
sion and afford an object lesson of how
to enjoy life in the tropics.

POST OFFICE CLOSES NOW AT
MIDNIGHT.
Not Enough Business to Warrant
Keeping open All the Time-Plenty
Up to Midnight

The all-night post office system has
been abandoned, as it was found that
there was not enough business during
the wee small hours TO warrant keep
ing the Office open. Up to midnight
there was a good deal of business, some
nights making a surprising record In
money order and other important bust
ness, but the night FOUNDERS who We're
up after eleven, somehow didn't seem
to be looking for postage stamps and
they kept away from the post Office
THE experiment has shown that il is
well Go keep the office open until mid
night said Assistant Postmaster Louis
ken8ke, but that after that hour there
is not enough business to make il
worth while one of the ideas was to
keep someone in the office all the time.
Keeping the window open made the
presence Of two men necessary, how
ever and that was a needless expense.
In inauguraung the system it was well
to ask for men for an all-night service
under the circumstances. The result
shows clearly the need of a service up
to midnight, and that will be continu-
ed"
The general delivery window is open
now from a. m. until midnight for
the delivery of ordinary mail. Between
6 q. m. and a. m. and between 6 p. m.
and midnight the general delivery win
dow will handle stamps registered mail
matter and Money orders. During the
rest of the time between six in the
morning and midnight the Money Or
der stamp and registering business is
done by the departments to which such
matters belong.

SCHLEYS FORTUNE CONE
SAVINGS OF YEARS SPENT ON HIS
TRIAL.
The Court of Inquiry by Which He
Sought to Clear His Name Has Left
Him Penniless.

NEW YORK, November ia spe-
cial to the Times from Washington
says: The savings of forty-five years
of active service in the United States
Navy have been eaten up by expenses
of inquiry by which Admiral Schley
hopes to clear his record as naval
officer. Since the final adjournment or
the public sessions of the court the Ad-
miral has been staying at the Airing
ton Hotel, attempting to extricate him
self from the financial tangle caused
by the inquiry. He has ended with his
accounts and he finds that every cent
of the $4,000 which he had expected
to leave mis- family, in addition to all
the prize money which he will get for
his part in the Spanish American war;
has been expended on the inquiry
Financially the Admiral is worse off
than he was almost half a century ago.
when he entered the Naval Academy
as q cadet.
Mrs. Schley insists that the money,
has been well spent. Her children agree
with her. They say that the clearing
away of the cloud placed on the Ad-
mirals naval record will be of more
lasting satisfaction than anything mo-
ney could buy During the inquiry
witnesses were brought from long dis
tances, stenographers were employed
and clerks were kept busy. :,
"I cannot say 1 wish l had 1T pack'
said Admiral Schley, "but l do wish
that 1 had the assurance now that l
had a year ago that my wife woulo
never come to want"

SPORTING NOTES

There is no association football today
and no polo. There is a rumor that the
police may organize a quartet for the
latter sport. The Harriers failed to
run last night, owing to the accident to
a man named Miller in the Y. NJ C. A.
gym, who fell last night and dislocated
and severely wreched his arm.
The second round of the Golf tourna-
ment will be played tomorrow at
Moanalua.

Little Pugilists Fight in San Francisco
Tonight.


Tonight
San Francisco, April 30.-Oscar Card
ner, the hero of over 500 ring battles,
viii try again tonight before theTwen-
tieth Century Athletic club of San Fran
cisco to Wrest the championship honors
from. terrible Terry McGovern. Both
boys have been training faithfully for
the battle, Gardner having prepared
himself especially we'll and is said to be
nearer his old time form than In several
years.
But from the start the public has re-
fused to take much stock in the fight,
simply looking upon it as a little easy
money for Terry, who should lay the
Kid low as quickly as he did in their
there have already come the cries of
fake. Few of the ring experts believe
that Gardner ever expected to get more
than the losing end of the purse, but
from the coast have come the reports
that the ex-Kansas City boy is fitting
himself for a hard go. He IS a good in
fighter and It is understood that he VIII
rush Terry from the sound of the gong,
and as McGOvern never fails to go after
his man from the start it should be all
over in a very few rounds. The bout
Is scheduled for twenty rounds, but If
it IS on the square and the boys wade
into one another it viii not last five
There is no denying that Gardner gave
the little wonder his hardest punch and
for a moment had him on Queer street,
but after he recovered Terry finished
Oscar in such quick order that in the
present fight those who bet on Gardner
can almost write their own tickets.
If the fight turns out to be a fake or
savOrs of scandal in any way, then pro-
fessional boxing will be stopped in San
Francisco The supervisors wish it un-
derstood that they will not foster swim
ding enterprises in connection with the
prize ring under cover of permits for
boxing exhibitions. Either the promoters
OF the sport must insist that each contest
shall be on the square in San Francisco
or their remunerative enterprises will
come to an abrupt close.
Supervisor Stafford declares he will
urge the board to prohibit ring contests
if the next go is not strictly legitimate
DO you think Oscar Gardner will give
you stiff fight?" McGovern was asked
recently.
Il don't know why he shouldn't. oscar
IS the only man that ever knocked me
down in the ring with a good straight
punch. I have slipped several times, but
this was a good clean left hOOf and I
stuck to the floor for eight of the count,
and it took me two hard rounds after
that to beat him"
The McGovern party is not anxious to
encourage the notion prevalent that
Gardner will be an easy mark They are
all willing to testify to the strong points
Of Gardner and commend his gameness.
