MAGNET BETTER THAN POLICE.
Prevents the Floating POolroom From
Getting Wireless Messages. IT'S Said.

CHICAGO Aug. ls.-A large electric
magnet near the mouth Of the Calumet
River may accomplish what the city and
State authorities have failed to do. 1t
may drive the gambling boat City OF Trav-
erse from the lake When the magnet Is
working, according to the South Chicago
police, it Is impossible for the boat to receive
It's wireless messages, they being inter-
copied by the induction Of the magnet.
Tho magnet is owned by the Illinois
Steel Company and Is used to lift large steel
plates. The work Of lifting the plates
begins daily at 2 O'Clock and continues
until p. M.
While the magnet is idle between and
. O'Clock no trouble Is experienced In re-
oeiving the wireless messages on the boat.
but as soon as 1t begins operations the tiokers
cease to work. This has been the case Tor
the last three days. The results OF the
first race came without interruption, but
at o'clock all messages are sidetracked.
An investigation will be conducted by
the wireless company to ascertain whether
tho magnet Is the cause Of interception OF
tbs messages II it Is the City Of Traverse
will give up its operations in Indiana waters.

TAX OFFICE AFTER
ISLAND
STEAMER OFFICERS

The Tax Office has opened its an.
nual campaign on the lighthearted in.
ter-island steamboat men, who fatty
refuse to pay their personal taxes In
the feeling of security, based on the
belief that they are exempt under the
Federal laws.
This question has been a bone OF
contention . between the steamboat
men and the tax officials for some
time past. Last year Captain w. +.
Thompson was selected as the defend
ant in a test case, in which the Homo
lulu Harbor of the Masters and Pr
lots Association retained attorneys
for the defense. The Tax Office Sc
cured judgment in the Territorial
court, but when the matter was
brought before the U. S. District
Court Judge Dole decided that the
judgment could not be levied on the
seamen's wages, as these were exempt
from taxes and punishment.
The result was that the tax official.
could enforce the judgment on those
steamship men only who held proper
ty, while those who had nothing bu
their wages were safe from the fore
ible collection of the taxes.
In the meantime this did not phas'
the tax gatherers, who merely bide'
their time until favorable opportu
nifty should present itself. In man,
instances such an opportunity di'
come when mariner would forsak
his life on the ocean wave and get
job on terra firma. AS soon as tn
Tax Office got wind of such an even
the tax vulture would swoop down o.
the unfortunate ex.seaman with fis
full of bills for back taxes for the year
he had been at sea. In such a cas-
the victim had only the choice bt
tween digging up or having his salar
garnisheed.
For this reason the Tax Office
this year serving summonses on t h
mariners Notwithstanding their pre-
tests of exemption. So far the officer
Of the Kinau, Likelike, Maui, Ike A
Hou and Mauna Loa have been serve
and those on the remaining boats wi
be served in due time, as they arriv
in port.

Few sermons on the evils of the times are so full of warning as the fact that the United States government mas been compelled by the crookedness Of employees to issue new sets of ngures on crop conditions. Trustworthy in- formation about the conditions or growing crops in the United States is essential for safe and stable business not only at home, but in foreign coun- tries. to which our products are heavi- ly exported. Cotton manufacturers the world over who use our southern sta pie cannot make their contracts With any sort of certainty on the mere cuesswork of the cotton output for the year. The same applies to tobacco ana to the distribution of wheat corn, meat and other foodstuffs. It was to pre- vent uncertainty as to the future ana to give to all manufacturers and deal CTS equal opportunities for buying and selling with open eyes that the crop re- ports were originally instituted. The system has failed as charges by the cotton growers and grain merchants have shown. All involved pronounce the system good but the results mls- leading and often useless. This is all because of the minor defects of the system. What is wanted is expert knowledge that will not make mis- takes and unflinching honesty in nak- ing up and publishing the reports.
