CAN'T TOUCH
JACKS PAY
Judge Dole Decides the
Inter-Island Mems
Tax Case.

Judge Sanford B. Dole of the United
States District Court yesterday rem
dered a decision on the Inter-Island
Steam Navigation Company's case, in
which the Territorial tax law was sub
jected to the test of validity as against
the Federal statute that prohibits the
attachment Or arrestment of seamen' S
wages by any court for any purpose.
The decision is against the Terri
torial law where ii was employed TO
cause the deduction from the wages
of the employees of the Inter-Island
Co., by the company for the benefit of
the Territorial treasury, of the 1904
personal taxes of sucn employees.
Judge Dole, in deciding the case, also
brings up a provision of the Territorial
law which was broken when the wages
were drawn upon by the employer to
pay the taxes of the employed. This is
that one-half of the wages due persons
working for wages shall be exempt
from attachment, execution, distress,
etc. The court finds that this provis-
ion must be taken literally. there being
no reservation in favor of claims by
the Government. Besides, there being
no showing as to the wages due the
several libellants, there is no basis for
a decree against thenl.'
Judgment is given for the 1ibellants
for s434.5O. or $3.50 each. and the tax
assessor as intervenor is to pay the
costs.
The Inter-Island Company observed
the Territorial law to protect itself,
where the law makes every person in
debted to one who neglects to pay his
taxes responsible as far as. the debt
in this case wages due-goes for the
payment of such taxes. To test the
matter against the Federal law pro-
tecting seamen's wages from attach
ment. Captain A. C. Simerson and rs
other employees of the Inter-Island Co.
brought the suit against that company
and Tax Assessor Holt, as an inter
ested party. fought the suit as inter-
venor.
j. j. Dunno and A. S. Humphreys
were proctors for the libellants; Smith
& Lewis representing the nbellee. and
NJ. f. Prosser, Deputy Attorney Cen
eral, the intervenor.

Attorney c. c. Biting took out a
writ of habeas corpus yesterday direct
ed to High Sheriff Brown for the re-
lease of All Yong, who the same day
had been fined SO and costs by Dis
trict Magistrate Lindsay and, refusing
to pay the penalty was imprisoned for
keeping a restaurant without the IL
|cense provided in the Board of Health
regulations. The prisoner was taken
before Judge Gear, who released him
on his own recegnizance.
The course taken by Mr.. Biting was
for the purpose of challenging the con-
Istitutionality of the license restrictions
in question. In the recent case of Frank
Lucweiko. keeping a lodging house
without license, Judge Gear declared
the law under which the prosecution
was brought to be unconstitutional.
This decision was argued before Judge
Lindsay, but he respectfully dissented
from Circuit Judge Gear.
AS the Territory is without appeal in
criminal cases, the law can hardly be
tested to finality until some judge de-
cides against a defendant under its
provisions, Then the question can be
taken to the Supreme Court

AND
HIS AUNTIE
Portrayal to
Be Repeated for
Y. w. c. A.

Charley's Aunt was again presented
in successful fashion last night by Ho-
nolulu amateurs under the direction of
Allan Dunn. The sad occurrence of
Tuesday last still had its manifest in
f1uence on the house which should have
been far larger on the merits of the
performance which was undoubtedly
the most successful amateur dramatic
effort Honolulu has enjoyed.
Allan Dunn will individually be missed
in amusement circles here as he has
long been responsible for the majority
of popular entertainments both in the
field of sport and the theatrical world
This, his last production, was artisti-
cally most successful and would doubt
less have proved a grand financial sue
cess had it not been for the sad event
which has cast a gloom over the COM
munity not yet dispelled.
Tt is understood that Mr.. Dunn and
his fellow actors have promised their
services to the Y. W. c. A. who viii
have a benefit on Tuesday evening for
which many seats have been sold. The
hoodoo which has hung over Charley's
Aunt so long in its many unavoidable
postponements is not through working
yet however and Mr.. Harwood, who so
successfully portrayed the Oxford ser
want in the two past productions may,
through duties at the cable Office, be
incapacitated on Tuesday and force an
other change of the many alterations in
the cast of Charleys Aunt.

This is a mistake 1t should read $1O.-

LIES TAVERN.

(By Mary Burt Messer in Current Literature0
In this old Tavern there are rooms SO dear
That | would linger here.
I love these corners and familiar hooks
Where I have sat with people and with books;
The very imperfections and the scars
About the walls and ceiling and the floor,
The sagging of the windows and the door,
The dnginess that mars
The hearth and chimney, and the wood laid bare
There on the old black chair
The dear dlapidation OF the place
Smiles in my face,
And I am loath to go.
Here from the window is glimpse of sea,
Enough for me;
And every evening. through the window bars,
Peer in the friendly stars.
And yet l know
That some day must go, and close the door,
And see the House no more.
