Townsend, Circuit Judge: The mer-
chandise in question is sake, imported
from Japan. The Board of Appraisers
finds that it is a beverage made from
rice by processes similar to those enl-
ployed i'll making beer, but which in
alcoholic strength. quality, general APP
pearance, and otherwise resembles still
wine, and therefore held it to be duti-
able at so cents per gallon, by similitude
to still wines, containing more than IL
per cent. of absolute alcohol, under the
provisions of paragraph 200 of the tariff
act of 1897.
The importer protests on the ground
that the beverage is dutiable either as
ale or beer under the provision of para
graph 2o7 of said act, either directly or
by similtude, or as non-enumerated
manufactured article under section 6 of
said act.
This beverage is neither ale, beer, nor
still wine 1t is similar to ale or beer
in that the material from which it is
made is rice. and in the fact that it is,
like beer or ale, fermented with yeast.
1t is more like wine than beer in its
quality, as the percentage of alcohol con-
tanned in it is about II per cent, while
the percentage of alcohol in beer ranges
between 3 I-2 and Q per cent, and in
wine between 7 I-2 and 10 per cent. A
test of the sample by taste and smell
and examination indicates that it is
only remotely similar in quality to either
wine or beer. In use it is like either
liquid, being drank for flavor and ex-
hlaration; it is unlike them in that it
is ordinarily drank hot. In quality it is
more like wine in the sense that it is
still as distinguished from the ordinary
efervescent ale or beer.
In these circumstances, sake is not
sufficiently similar to still wine to war
rant its assessment for duty under para
graph 200 of the act; and because of
the high percentage of alcohol therein,
the absence of effervescence, and its
quality. taste, and use, as aforesaid, it
does not seem to be sufficiently like
beer or ale to permit of its inclusion
under paragraph 2o7. The conclusion
reached is that it is so radically differ
ent from the articles covered by both
of said paragraphs that it should have
been classified for duty as non enumer-
ated manufactured article under section
of said act.
The decision of the Board of Apprais-
ers is reversed.

GAVE TWO ORDERS ON PAY
AND THEN DISAPPEARED
James Kekuka Copyist in the Bureau Of
Conveyances Turns Up Missins-Frequent
Device to Stand Off Creditors.

James Kekuka, copyist in the Blu
reau of Conveyances, left that office
on Friday afternoon at the close of
business, and has not been seen since.
1t is significant that shortly after the
occasion of his disappearance, two en-
dorsed receipts for his June salary
warrant had turned up in the office of
Auditor Fisher. The duplication be-
came apparent as soon as the clerical
force went over the list of employees of
the Conveyancer's bureau, which was
about June %.
The disappearance of Kekuka brought
the duplication of assignments of his
warrant out more clearly than it would
have under ordinary circumstances.
There is just the semblance of a
scandal in the matter, for Acting
Governor Atkinson yesterday addressed
notes to various heads of depart ents
calling their attention to the practice
and advising them to inform certain
employees to refrain from continuing
it in the future.
Not only has the Auditors Office
found that Kekuka duplicated his or
der, but an employee of the Board of
Health ad Implicated his order. AS
all claimants are alike and equal in
the eyes Of the auditor, the first come.

Auditor simply holds up the warrant
until the claimants flight it out a
mongst themselves or the employee
adjusts the matter.
The procedure in assigning warrants
is about as follows: An employee OBJ
tains several blank receipt or assign
ment checks. He fills out one stating
that John Doe" employee of the de-
partment Of --, whose salary is
$50 assigns his warrant for the month
of June to Richard Roe" On the
back is the Endorsement space. The as
signee's name is written on the back
together with the signature of the as
signor. If any of those orders are
duplicated by the assignor, the orig

signee About the 25th of the month
the auditors force begins making out
the Warrants. Assignments are check
ed, and the warrant is made out to
the assignee, as per the account of the
assignor. When more than one assign
ment appears then there is trouble.
In the case of Kekuka, his disap-
pearance came on Friday, June "a, or
the day before the Auditor is generally
supposed to make out the warr8i IS.
From this 1T would appear that Il :
ka understood he might be questioned
and rather than do this, left his posi-
ton.
Registrar Merriam stated yesterday
afternoon that he could not understand
why kekuka left his position. He was
one of the most rapid copyists in the
office where he had been employed
since 1901. There was absolutely no
opportunity for him to NEEDLE with the
funds of the Bureau. He had been dis
charged since his disappearance, the
discharge dating from June %. 1t is
said that Kekuka's father lives at Wal
alua and that he has possibly gone to
visit with him.
A prominent government official, in
commenting on the case said:
This comes of men in government
employ borrowing money from money
sharks down town who charge zen per
cent interest per month. It's usury and
nothing short of robbery. l hope to
see a law passed by the next Legisla-
ture directed against Shylocks of this
kind. The government employees are
making these money sharks rich, and
are keeping themselves poor. Once
in it 1T is hard for them to ever get
out. l know of one man receiving SITS
per month who pays these sharks ten
per cent interest every month, or ST.

WEATHER
BUREAU

Funds for the maintenance of the
Weather Bureau run out at the end of
the present month and unless money
from some other source than the Gov
eminent Is obtained the compiling of
weather statistics will have to be dis
continued for a few weeks.
Mr.. Ashley, the United States Wealth
err Bureau man, is not quite ready to
begin the new service, not yet having
been given authority to establish his
headquarters. and not having his in
struments at hand.
Acting Governor Atkinson hopes that
the matter can be arranged that Mr..
Lydecker can be continued in his posi-
ton for few months longer. The gap
left from the discontinuance of the
Territorial bureau and the commence
ment of the Federal, would cause loss
of valuable statistics.

(Mail Special to the Advertiser.)


WASHINGTON, d. c., June ~
Gov. Carter left here in haste last Tues
day to attend the sessions of the Ma
tional Republican Committee at Chi
cago. When in the Windy City on his
way East, the officials of the committee
were much concerned about Hawaii
Committeeman being present to help
decide the Wisconsin contest. In the
time between his visit in Chicago and
his stay here Gov. Carter received Col.
Sam Parker's proxy by cable and then
the committee wanted him to get back to
Chicago as rapidly as possible. The
Governor accordingly closed out his
business here quickly. He was guest
for part of his visit at the residence
OF Mr.. Clifford Pinchot, chief of the
Forestry bureau.
On Tuesday, the day he left here, the
Governor had final conference with the
Solicitor General of the Department of
Justice, Mr.. Hoyt, about the appoint
ment of judges for Hawaii They
agreed upon the names already cabled to
the Advertiser Up to date these APP
pointments have not been announced by
the President, but it is expected daily
that they will be as Gov. Garter was act
ing under President Roosevelt's instruc-
tons.
The Interior Department has sent to
the acting Governor of Hawaii and also
to Gov. Carter a copy OF comments by
the State Department on the granting of
a passport to Tamazo Katsunuma. The
history of the case is probably known
in Honolulu Gov. Carter granted a
passport, on presentation of a certificate
OF naturalization. The record of the
passport was forwarded to the Interior
Department and then to the State De
partment, through the usual official
channels, but it was held up by the
State Department on the ground that II
was apparently irregular. The law spc-
officially provides that no Monaghan
shall become naturalizcd citizen OF the
United States. In letter, which has
all the effect OF decision, the State
holds that as rule a courts
certificate OF naturalization should be
sufficient warrant for granting a pass
port, but when on its face the certificate
was improperly granted, or granted by
fraud or in other than the regular man
ner provided by law, it is the duty OF
the official who has authority to issue
passports for the government to with
hold the same.

We are at loss to appreciate why
the merchandise should have been re-
turned as paints" for both samples be-
fore us are in the form of dry powder
The question for consideration, as it
seems to us, is whether the merchandise
is pigment. An examination of the an
alyses satisfies us that neither of the
samples exhibits the requisite essentials
which pigments must possess to fit them
for use in the manufacture of paints,
and that, if they could be used at all
for this purpose, it could be only after
changes in condition resulting from the
admixture OF other. substances involving
labor and expense, which would make
such use altogether improbable.
We, therefore, find that the merchan-
disc is not paints. and, as there seems
to be no other provision of the tariff in
which it is provided for, we believe the
claim OF the protestants to be well
founded and therefore sustain the pro-
test, reversing the decision of the col
lector. Reiqudation will follow.
