Inspector Doyle Promoted.
Collector of Port Stackabie yesterday
promoted Inspector Walter Doyle from
1.-THE force of night inspectors to the day
force. Doyle has only been with the
department a little over a year. Dur
ing that brief period, however, he prov
ed himself in every way worthy OF
speedy advancement and the collector
saw in him one who deserved the first
chance of promotion.
While the duty of a night inspector
! of the customs department is difficult
one in many ways it does not carry
with it the same responsibility which
| is attached to the work of a day in
spector.
/ Doyle was congratulated by all the
force yesterday and by his other nu-
lmerous friends in this city.
The young man is businesslike and
industrious and very keen in matters
pertaining to his duty. He has proved
himself, in many instances, perfectly
Icapable of looking out for the interests
of Uncle Sam. Collector Stackable
knows a good man when he sees one
and has the reputation Of remembering
those who take pains TO serve the de-
ipartment we'll

the inspector who SWore to a Warrant
for the arrest of Hackman p. d. Day
who interfered with him in the dis
tcharge of his duty on February % or
the Pacific Mail wharf, while th'
steamship America Maru was in from
the Orient Day undertook to- horse

The incident which led to the arres
of the hackman occurred on the nigh
of February 49, about II o'clock. Doyl
was on duty on the Pacific Mail wharf
on the Waikiki end The America Mar
was locked at the wharf and Doyl
