NAVY SCANDAL
ON THE SOLACE
Several Thousand Dollars
Worth of Dutiable Goods
Found After Much Search
VIGILANCE REWARDED
Cigars, Vases, Laces, Silks,
Embroideries, CuriOs and
Porcelain Ware Taken Up

Extensive violations Of the customs
laws were unearthed last Saturday by
customs inspectors who had been de-
tailed to search the United States
naval transport Solace from Manila,
Honolulu and Guam. On Saturday
forty-one seizures were made, amount
ing in value TO several thousand dol
lars, including cigars, silks, embroid-
cries, decorated porcelain and japanese
curios. The goods have been sent to
the Appraisers store for appraisement.
The bringing in of dutiable goods in
Government vessels contrary to law
has been a general practice ever since
the American occupation of the Phil
ippines and the Treasury Department
has insisted that the practice must be
broken up. These seizures on former
occasions have been made with consid-
cradle secrecy, the facts having been
withheld from the press for the pur-
pose of sparing the feelings of the law
breakers, but the Solace seizure was
so large that it could not remain COW
cred up. The goods were found in the
rooms of mates, stewards, machinists,
paymasters and others.
The most notable person connected
with the affair is Rear Admiral Yates
Stirling, United States navy, for whom
was addressed in care of Commander
]. H Bull at Baltimore, Nd. a large
case of japanese curios, the duties on
which would amount to a respectable
figure Admiral Stirling is said to have
used the curios in his house for about
year. A package of pongee silk ad-
dressed to Mrs. Bull, in care Of Com
mander Bull. was found in Captain
Stewards storeroom.
Among the persons to whom duti-
able goods were addressed were the fol-
lowing: T. Hurley. G. Fitzmorris, j.
o. Bell, J. NJ. Eads, H. Nolte, H. NJ.
Onyett, j. Neary, Miss l. Colchett, P.

The Oceanic Steamship Company's
liner Alameda, Captain Dowdell. arrived
yesterday from Honolulu. When the
Alameda and Mariposa used TO run be-
tween here and the Antipodes their
cl &c adherence TO the time schedule
was counted a marvel. At a certain
hour on a certain day either one or the
other was due and as surely as the
day and hour arrived there was the
Alameda or Mariposa TO confirm the
clocks and calendars Of the persons
that established the schedule.
The Mariposa is continuing in the
same path Of punctuality on the Ia
hiti run, and the Alameda, on the Hon
Olulu run. is keeping true TO her early
training. If the overland trains kept
as closely 10 their time table as does
the Alameda to her schedule passen-
gers leaving New York could figure
the time of their arrival here within
an hour.
The Alameda brought 2ss passengers
and a cargo which included sugar, cof-
fee, bananas and pineapples.
Among the passengers was Mrs. ".
H CornweH. the widow Of the late
Colonel Cornwel. who has been visit
ing friends in Honolulu. E. NJ. Boyd

Garibaldi are California girls whose

Joseph Murphy will be ut the Bijou
opera house next week, commencing
..4arch 6, in his famous plays Kerry
Cow" and "Shaun Rhue.''
70 hear Joseph Murphy laugh or
sing, to see him smile, or watch him
play, is Il treat that can be stored in
the playgoer's memory and be drawn
upon when the evenings are dull and
the heart is heavy. Long ago he won
all hearts with his beautiful art, but,
unlike the old stars, he can still hold
those same hearts, and new ones too.
Kerry Cow" and Joseph Murphy cam
not be distinctly separated. Critics
differ on the point as to the art of the
play OF the art of the man. Some
argue that Joseph Murphy made the
play, while others testify that the play
made Joseph Murphy. Which of the
arguments is correct is hard to say,
but it is easy for any playgoer to say
that both Kerry Cow and Joseph
Murphy are delights in the theatrical
world.
