FINALLY GOT LETTER
WAITING EXPERIENCE With
POSTOFfICE AND CUSTOMS
HONOLULU YANKEE SOLVED THE
PROBLEM OF OFFICIAL RED
TAPE-couLDN'T GET
PACKAGE.

Foreigners often remark that the
ways of American post Offices and Gus.
tom houses are past finding out. As q
rule their comments are regarded as
natural comment of foreigners not
willing to take the trouble to learn the
easy methods OF procedure to get what
they want. II the experience of an
lulu is any criterion 1t would seem that
complaints registered are not without
Just cause and officials are at fault for
lack OF care in attending to the con-
venience of the people.
An Englishman in Honolulu for a
stay OF about a month during the
Christmas season received notice from
the Honolulu postofiice that a reg
istered letter containing dutiable mat
ter was at the local postoffice. He
called at the registry Office on a We'd
nesday and was informed by the official
there that he could not getg his letter
unless he showed up on Monday or
Thursday at 10 a. m, that being the
time when a custom house officer was
at the post Office to examine packages
to be released. His work was Of such
q character that he was unable to call
at the times specified and no appeal he
could present was sufficient to change
the exact time o'clock when he must
make his appearance.
As the chances seemed good for his
having to leave the city without get
ting his letter the Englishman put his
troubles before a Yankee friend he had
met hoping he might know more about
the mysteries of the Honolulu post Of
fee and custom house. The Yankee
| friend appeared at the post Office on u
Thursday at ~ o'clock and was in
formed that the allotted time had
passed: he must call at 10 o'clock when
the custom house officer attended to his
official duties. He suggested that the
registry clerk should communicate
with Kenake at the post Office and he
with Collector Stackable but was in
formed that this would do no good. He
appealed to Kenake and was Informed
that he could do nothing. the rule was
bard and fast.
Then the Yankee dander began TO
rise. He had lived in the States where
officials waited on the people rather
than the people waiting the conven-
fence OF officials. He headed for Col
Hector Stackable's Office, presented his
case and was told that Custom House
officer would be sent to the post office
at any time he was telephoned for An
other journey was made to the, post
Office. The registry clerk made reply
as though he had learned the story by
heart The clerk was asked to COM
municate with Kenake but said II was
no use. Then Kenake was interviewed
and after numerous Official confiabs the
Custom House was called up by tele-
phone. The inspector was sent to tho
post Office and in fifteen minutes the
registered letter was released and de-
livered.
The Honolulu Yankee AYERS that u
all foreigners meet with the exper'
fence OF his friends he little wonders
at the complaints laid against thu
, American system.

LAWYER Howg's METHOD.

A group OF men, including several
criminal lawyers, a few detectives,
some clerks, and one or two others,
stood In the big rotunda of the Crimi'
nal Courts building recently talking
about the sudden death OF william f.
Howe. the senior partner Of Howe &
Hummell. One after another passed
some eulogy on the dead man and then
began to recall some incident. of his
unique career OF seventy'four years.
One told what love the lawyer had
for dress and jewelry; how he always
wore diamond cluster pins In his shirt
front, some striking kind OF headgear,
such as blue yachting cap or low
topped derby, coats heavy with fur,
and waistcoats of elaborate design.
other stories illustrated Mr. Howe's
remarkable personality, his ability to
influence jury even in the face Of
the strongest evidence, the scope and
range Of his voice, which would iuctu-
ate from a low, sobbing whisper
