BANKERS TELL WHY THEY
CANNOT CARRY TERRITORY
Will Not Take Warrants on Speculation With
out Knowing When They Will
Be Paid.

Some of the banks are taking up reg
istered warrants for their customers al
though in limited number. Representa-
tives of the four Honolulu banks were
interviewed yesterday as to their rea-
sons for not accepting the government
warrants and they We're unanimous in
denying that it had been done with the
view of embarrassing the government.
BUSINESS PROPOSITION.
Until the banks know when the reg
istered warrants will be taken up we
cannot discount them,' said S. E. Da-
mon of Bishop & Co. "At present we
know nothing as to the possible date
that the warrants will be taken up. It
is purely business proposition with
US
ARE TAKING WARRANTS.
1.-The banks have to a certain extent
been, taking the warrants from custom
ers, but they are not prepared to take
them generally until the financial situ-
alton has cleared said E. I. spalding
of Sprecke}sz & Co.
There are two reasons why the
banks cannot afford to take up all the
registered warrants at this time. The
first is that we are awaiting the deci-
sion of the Supreme Court in the test
case submitted as to the legality of the
warrants. The second and more impor-
tant reason is that at present there is
no assurance as to the date of payment
of these warrants under the financial
statements emanating from the govern
ment.
In former years the banks advanced
money to the government up to the full
limit allowed by law, under the positive
assurances of the government that the
loan would be paid in certain specified
timer namely in November. upon reali-
zation from the taxes. Under condi-
tions as they now exist the government
is not prepared to give any such as
surance. and in fact the law under
which the treasury notes can be issued
provides that said notes shall not be
issued for a longer term than seven
months. Consequently, as the revenue
from the taxes upon which the govern
ment relies to meet these notes. will not
be received before November, a loan
at this time to the government would be
premature, as the provisions of this act
cannot be made available until May

"H|GH LIFE"
Chemist Explains What
the Compound
Is.

A sample of high life" has been
turned over to the government chemist
by the Jail physician for testing.
Frank Turk who is charged with using
some of the stuff on a dog is to ao-
pear for trial in the police court to-
day.
In police circles and generally about
town, there appears to be the densest
ignorance as to just what high life"
is, and even High Sheriff Brown said
he would be obliged to confess that he
didn't know of what it was composed.
He did know that it appeared to have a
freezing effect when applied to animals
horses or dogs, and made them ex-
hibit symptoms of high life
High life is nothing but carbon
disuiphide,'' said a well known chemist
yesterday 'It is volatile and evaporates
very rapidly and when applied to an
animal, the evaporation causes intense
cold. 1t is somewhat similar to chic
ride of ether, which is used for freezing
purposes. Carbon disulphide or c. c. .
is also used in the manufacture of
paint, as a solvent of oils and as a
preservative. 1t is also used in chem
icaI work, because of it's soluble quail
tiles, in testing for iodine, for instance.
1t is made of one part of carbon and
two of sulphur and has a terrible odor.
You have probably got a Whit of it
if you were ever near rubber or leather

in work of that kind

CORAL MAN IS
COMING AGAIN

Prof. Alexander Agassiz, the million
aire student of coral islands, and one
of the foremost scientists of the day,
will again pay a visit to Honolulu next
winter in the United States Fish Com
missions steamer Albatross, which
will be loaned to him for a winters
cruise among the coral islands of the
South Pacific.
DR.. Agassiz has been in Honolulu be-
fore and his work in connection with
the Investigations into coral reefs and
islands is we'll known. A magazine
writer tells of Agassiz and his work, in
the following manner:
Professor Alexander Agassiz, of
Cambridge, Mass. has career more
fabulous than that of the Prince of
Monaco. The money kings of the
world would like to know what sort of

profit to himself. He owns the control
of the great Calumet and Hecla copper
mines on Lake Superior; his product is
unlimited and close to the markets that
use it. This mine produces almost
Simon-pure ingots and the deeper he
sinks his shafts, the purer, richer, and
vaster grow his deposits. Some of the
shafts are approaching 1000 feet in
depth, where men work by aid of ice
and wet blankets, but other shafts are
but fairly commenced, and he can start
new shafts at any time. What does
such a man care about trusts or COM
petition? Professor Agassiz is an arts
tocrat only to the world at large. He
is deeply interested in scientific re-
search, easy to approach by expert
mentors. impossible to be seen by 9TH
ers. He knows all men engaged in
pure science, and their acquaintance is
sufficient So great is their admira-
ton of him that he occupies without
question the highest Office that can be
bestowed on an American scientist,
that of president of the National Acad-
envy of Sciences, a branch of the gov
eminent. His was the fourth name
announced as a trustee of the new
Carnegie Institute, next those of the
President and the heads of the Senate
and House. His father was the great
Louis AgassiZ, but the son is really
greater. His father bitterly opposed
evolution; the son has done as much
as Darwin to confirm the theory When
the Calumet and Hecla was first aban-
doned he examined it carefully. He re-
ported it as far from worthless and
rich property if properly worked. The
directors believed in him. paid him
$4,000 for his report and gave him
ffty-one per cent of the stock to
work the mine properly" The re-
suits have brought him and them mil
lions in profits. He has spent much of
the money in building up the great
Museum of Comparative Zoology at
HarH ard. His steamers have dredged
the Gulf Stream for life on the floor
of the ocean, yielding vast results;
have unearthed the coral reefs in the
Caribbean Sea and the South Pacific,
making him the authority on that sub
ject. Why shouldn't such a man de-
spise mere money kings?"
