BY VISIT
Bishop Restarick Back
From the Big
Island.

Bishop Restarick returned yesterday
in the Mauna Loa from an official Wis
1t. He departed last week for the big
island, accompanied by the Rev Wal
ter Du Moulin. young clergyman re-
Gently from the states, and Mrs. 'Du
Moulin. The party went to keald
kekua Bay, near which is the small
Episcopal chapel formerly in charge of
the Rev. Mr. Davis. The Bishop placed
the young minister in charge of the
parish, thereby relieving the former
infirm after thirty years of service and
who wanted to retire. Restarick is
quite encouraged over the prospect for
missionary work in the district.
The new clergyman will conduct a
service every Sunday at Holualoa. in
room belonging to Mr. Scott. This
is a new departure, but it will enable
the Episcopal church to reach a num-
Der of people who otherwise might not
have an opportunity to attend services.
Bishop Restarick was entertained
during his stay there at the Green
wells. He also saw something of the
plantation there. The Bishop has now
done much toward increasing the work
of the Episcopal Church on Hawaii,
and is reyiving interest wherever he
goes.

TAX COURTS
QUICK WORK
Nearly Done With
the Income
Gases.

The tax court nearly completed its
entire labors at the first session held
yesterday afternoon. Three of the five
appeals were submitted and taken un-
der Amusement, and the remaining
cases will be disposed of today. One
of these will probably be withdrawn, so
that there will be but one hearing had
this afternoon.
The appeal of c. Keiser. who wished
to have his loss ON sugar stocks
deducted from ..ls net income, was the
most interesting appeal before the
court.
Mr.. Keiser testified that he bought
Oahu Sugar Company stock in 1900,
prior to July !, at $3.50 a share, also
some assessable stock with all but %
per cent paid in for 500. The stock
cost altogether $3.50. and he sold it
in December, 1901, for $7,4OO, incurr-
ing a loss of $l,SS750.
Keiser testified further that In July,
1901, the price of Oahu stock on the
exchange was $l40, which meant that
at that time it was worth SCOOPS.
However, he had put it in at the price
1t cost him, not deducting the addi-
tional loss, which the higher price
would have allowed him to do, and
which would have made his total loss
over $1,000.
The tax assessor put on no wit
nesses, Mr.. Robertson, who appeared
as attorney, simply making a state
ment OF the law. He said that the loss
given by the appellant was merely
depreciation of capital, which the in
come tax did not touch. The law pro-
vided only for tax upon income, and
not upon principal, consequently there
could be no deduction for loss or de-
probation Of capital.
Keiser replied that the investment
in sugar was simply for the income to
be obtained, and when there was no
dividends 1t was a loss. The court
took the case under advisement.
Both the cases of Yonekura and of
Murakama were simply differences of
calculation between the assessor and
the merchants, arising from statements
made by the latter. In the first case,
j. M. Riggs, taking the figures fur
| nished by Yonekura, found the deduc-
ton on the stock to be $4,000 more
than the tax payer was entitled to, so
there was an assessment on that
amount as income The differ
ence arose because OF two stores
owned by appellant, the goods
having been deducted both from
the main and branch stores. In the
MuraKama case there was a difference
of s5,oor arising from the same state
of facts. Both cases were taken under
advsement by the court.
The case of M. Kawahare, In which
the amount involved in $3.50, is set
for trial today. The appeal Of Mrs
Rosalie X. Trip will probably be dis
missed. Mr.. Kane, one OF the mem
bers Of the court, represents Mrs
Trip and said that he expected a
notification OF dismissal. In this case
the appellant asks for a deduction from
income OF $1,000, which she expended
in real estate.

CAMP NO. 2 GATHERING.
There were more than 200 persons at
Camp No. 2, in Liliha street, last even
ing, when Judge Kaulukou called to or
der the meeting which was held by the
Republican candidates. In opening.
Kaulukou said that it was a time for
the Republican ticket to be elected for
the reason that the Territory was in
need of reforms and they could be had
best through the party which would
keep its promises to the people.
II. q, Birbe spoke at some length, TAX

and county government and the greater
reed that such bills should be framed
by Republicans,
Senator ID. p. II. Isenberg advocated
the election OF Prince Kuhio and asked
that the people stand firm for all the
candidates OF the party, and thereby
secure the best results from the legisla-
ture
James Shaw outlined his position In
favor Of reform and said that he stood
on the Republican platform squarely,
and would work for all that was best
for The people. There were a number

dren who would suffer By reason of his
Imprisonment. Judge Estee replied
that light sentences in the past ap-
peared not to have acted as warning
to offenders, and added. mo doubt
the defendant may be a good citizen,
but no man can be a good citizen and
run an Illicit still"
Vlerra's three children also wept
profusely when they learned that their
father would be compelled to spend the
next three months in prison. Judge
Estee said that he took into consider
alton the fact that Vierra had already
been in prison over four months.
Ton Pong, convicted of illicit dis
filling on two counts, was fined 500
and sentenced to three months i'm
prisonment on the first count an6
given a nine months sentence on the
second count. On each of the couno,
there was added the statutory penalty
OF $500.
THE FANNIE KERR CASE.
Judge Estee rendered a decision yes.
terday in the case Of NJ. Rosenberg &;
Co. VS.. w. r. Hoare, the British con.
sui, holding that the defendant must
pay only for the goods ordered in writ
ing for the shipwrecked sailors of the
Fannie Kerr.
Rosenberg sued for 1912 So, and the
court gave judgment for $276S5. Judge
Estee held that it was a well settled
principle of law that no charge coull
be made for anything not specified in
a contract, where there was a written
agreement. He made uniform allow
ance of 50 for suits and 80 cents for
caps, holding that no hats had been
ordered AS to the extra charges for
David Longwell and A. Gibbon, the
first and second mates respectively of
the vessel, the court decided that only
the same amount could be charged as
in the case Of the ordinary sailors as
there had been nothing in the contract
specifying better treatment for the Of
hcers. A total reduction OF 500 was
made from the bill Of Rosenberg.
The costs and fees for stenographer
were assessed against the defendant.

New Silk from South Africa.

Gold and silver silk is coming from
South Africa, says an English publica.
ton. The fibres are spun by two re.
markable spiders of Rhodesia, and an
experimenter has found that the crea.
lures may be reared in captivity and
that the silk can be utilized. Both
f1laments have brilliant metallic lus
ter and are very fine and strong, the
fineness of the golden silk being about
that of the silkworm's thread, but the
strength being much greater A thread
Of steel of the same size, in fact, has
only two-thirds the strength of this
