SAY THAT SAKE
IS A WINE
PROTEST OF LOCAL JAPANESE
IMPORTERS CYEERULED Fly
BOARD OF APPRAISERS.

The Board of General Appraisers at
New York has just handel down d=-
cijion that affects a very large num-
bel of local Japanese importers. RE
famous saki appeals have Deel daciled
against the protesters. At least $500 0O0
in duties is affected by this decision.
Notice of the decision was received
this morning by Thomas Fitch in II
cablegram from New York. This
cablegrom read as follows:
NEW YORK, May 5.-Simnitude like
wine chemically use appearance quality
though manufactured like beer"
Mr. Fitch and II. j. Johnston the
Customs broker who had charge of the
protest state that the dispatch conveys
in a somewhat vague form, the in
formation that their protest has been
ovewuled. The decision holds in eff
feet that there is a similitude between
saki and wine and that the Japanese
beverage is like wine chemically, use
and general appearance, although it is
manufactured like beer.
The importers. will take the matter
into the courts now and the action Will
be begun probably this month in the
United states Circuit court at New
York
The protests on which this decision
by the Board of General Appraisers
was rendered, were from a large num-

W|LDER'S NOT
RESPONSIBLE
STEAMSHIP COMPANY WINS DAM
AGE SUIT BROUGHT BY Ma
WAIEHA.

Judge Estee this morning gave a de-
cision sustaining the exceptions of the
steamship company in the case of Ma
waieha VS.. the Wilder Steamship Com
pany and Paauhau plantation. The
case is a libel for $4,000 damages for
injuries alleged to have been sustained
on the steamer Helene, by reason of
an order given by the captain, causing
a slingoad of sugar to strike the libel
liant. A number of exceptions were
made, but the court considered that
only one of them need be taken up and
dismissed the bill as far as the steam
ship company is concerned, in a deci-
sion which concludes as follows:
Under the allegations of this bill,
the libellant and the captain of the
steam vessel Helene were engaged in
a common employment, both in navi-
eating the said steamship Helene and
in loading and unloading her cargo, and
the negligence of the said captain as
alleged was that of a fellow servant of
the libellant, for which the defendant,
Wilder Steamship Company, cannot be
held responsible. The exceptions are
sustained and the bill as to the Wilder's
Steamship Company, is dismissed.

A FOOLISH OLD IDEA.

10 was once thought that .
medicine was all the mere bene-
fetal for having a nasty taste and
smell. We now know that such
an idea is perfect nonsense.
There is no more reason why
medicine should offend the sem
SEES than why food should do So
Therefore, one of the greatest
chemical victories Of the past
few years is what we may call
the redemption of cod liver oil.
Everybody knows what a vile
taste and smell this drug has
in its natural state. No wonder
most people declare they would
rather suffer from disease than
take cod liver oil, and the emul-
sions are quite as foul and abom-
Unable as the plain oil, no matter
what may be alleged 10 the con-
trary. Now it is one OF natures
laws that a medicine which dis
gusts the nose and the palate,
and also sickens the stomach, can
have no good effect as medi-
cine, because the system cries
out to be delivered from it. In
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
the desired miracle is wrought,
and we have the valuable part of
the oil, without the other. This
effective modern remedy is pala-
table as honey and contains the
nutritive and curative properties
of Pure Cod Liver Oil, extracted
by MS from fresh cod livers, COM
bined with the Compound Syrup
of Hypophosphites and the Ex-
tracts of Malt and Wild Cherry.
The palate accepts it as it does
sugar, confectionery or cream.
Taken before meals it goes to the
very secret stronghold of diges-
tive disorders: prevents and cures
Nervous Dyspepsia, Scrofula,
Throat and Lung Troubles and
all diseases due to impurity of
the blood. DR.. G. G. Shannon, of
Canada, says: 81 shall continue
its use with, l am sure, great az
vantage to my patients and satis-
faction to myself" Has all the
virtues of cod liver oil; none of
its faults. Effective from the
first dose. Sold by all chemists.

FIRST IRON SHIP.

The first iron ship has more reputed
birth places than Homer, according to
Chambers Journal" Both the Clyde
and the Mersey claim pre-eminence in
this respect Sir f. j. Robson of Edin-
burgh designed an iron vessel in 1916,
which was not launched till three
years later, and it Is said that an iron
boat was worked on the Severn even as
far back as 1887. Steel was not used in
the construction of merchant ships
hulls until 1869. Old salts were not
alone in their belief that wood was
meant by Providence to float, but iron
to go to the bottom. a naval construc-
tor of some repute once said: Don
talk to me of iron ships; they are con-
trary to nature Now none but small
craft are built of wood in this country.

SENATE DID NOT
REDUCE SALARIES
SEVERAL ATTEMPTS WERE MADE
TO DO SOME CUTTING BUT ALL
FAILED.

The government physicians won out
in the Senate this morning The spe-
Cial committee to which mad been re-
ferred the matter OF reducing the item
for Government physicians reported in
favor of reducing the item from $l0,140
to $500. The salaries of the various
physicians were all reduced. There
had been uniform cut from $50 to $50
a month and from $50 to $40 month,
for the two classes. The position of
| one of the government physicians in
kHonolulu was abolished and the duties
Fplaced on the shoulders OF the bacteria
logist
Senator Paris objected to this cut.
There was some brief discussion which
ended in the item carrying al $40, 14O, on
motion of Senator Paris, by the vote of
! 6 to 8.
! Another attempt was made to reduce
other salaries. Senator Dickey got
after the auditors department. He
wanted the auditors salary reduced
| from s2250 to $500. Senator McCandless
| seconded the motion.
Senator lsenberg opposed this mo-
! ton. He did not favor reducing sal
aries. He said that living was much
| higher here than on the mainland. He
said 1t might be all right If the offices
were to be filed with Japanese and
Chinese but not if by white men and
| Hawaiians. There was some discus
sion and Senator McCandless wanted to
make the item $4,000. The original item
] of S2.250 finally carried. The salary
| bill then passed second reading.
| Consideration of the Loan Bill was
| deferred until after it shall have pass
ed the House.
The House sent up communication
! transmitting it's appropriation measure
| for expenses OF the present session.
The confirma ton of appointment of
members of the law commission was
! postponed until tomorrow.
The eighteen months salary measure
| was deferred.
| A communication was also received
| from Governor Dole transmitting es-
| Inmates from the various departments
for the eighteen months of the biennial
period. This measure was ordered
| printed
| The special committee which had been
appointed to act on the matter of re-
! ducirg the salaries in the auditors de-
partment reported as follows:
The auditor says that he believes in
economy, and further says that the
clerks salaries in his office are ample
for the services rendered by them.
The salaries Of clerks in said Office
! are as follows: LIST class, S175 per month
End, 1925 per MONTH Bird, 500 per month
4th SO, 5th, S75. The auditor claims
that the clerks salaries in other offices
of the government ought to be scaled in
the same way.
''e recommend that the clerks sal
aries remain as in the bill"

as vine by the local people and a duty
of 30 cents gallon charged. The i'm
porters claimed that 1t should be class
ed as beer and pay duty of only 20
cents a gallon
In order that fresh evidence on this
point might be secured and their side
or the matter be presented in the
strongest possible way, the local Japa-
nese merchants sent H. j. Johnston and
a japanese representative to Japan
last year, in order that Mr.. Johnston
could study up the manufacture of saki.
AS the result of his visit to Japan
and tours of various Japanese saki es-
adjustments, Johnston claimed that
the stuff was made entirely dissimilar
10 wine so far as manufacture and in
gradients were concerned. Saki. was
made from water, malt, yeast and rice
and in general fashion, was manufac-
tured similarly to beer. The decision
oyerrules this contention however. The
matter is now TO be threshed out in the
United States courts.

THE EUCALYPTUS.

The Australian eucalyptus tree has
been uaturalized in California, and
there are now towering groves of eu-
calyptus in Arizona and parts of Mex
leo as well. The great value of the
eucalyptus lies in it's remarkably quick
growth from the seed to the full-sized
tree Travellers in Australia have
brought back accounts of enormous ma
tive eucalyptus. There was a record of
one PROSTATE ancient forest giant Of
the blue gum variety measuring, with
allowances for the lost top, $50 feet.
Such a giant would have overtopped
the tallest of CALIFORNIA; living sequo-
las There are more than $50 kinds
of eucalyptus which resemble each
other, though differing widely in size,
hight, general outline and in appeal
ance of leaf and bark. This tree is
planted for forest cover for naked
hili-sides, as windbreaks and hedges,
the timber is valuable, the wood and
leaves make excellent fuel and from
the latter is made a drug extensively
employed in medicine and surgery.
The blossoms supply honey supposed
to possess specially hygienic properties,
