COUNSEL ENTER DENIAL.
Say That Waggaman's "List No. l.
Was Not Rifed

Counsel for the Catholic University Of
America today made strenuous denial OF
the charge contained In the petition for
a receiver filed yesterday by Judge Thomas
]. Stealey and other creditors of Thomas
E. Waggaman, that the Catholic University
or its attorneys had rified the securities Of
list No. T. and had taken therefrom the
notes of the greatest actual value.
1T Is true" one of the attorneys said.
that about six or nine months prior to the
bankruptcy proceedings notes which were
clearly identified as the property of the uni
versity, purchased with the university
funds, were delivered by Mr.. Waggaman.
But these notes, as far as l know, never
had any connection with the list No. l.
1t is not true that the famous list No. L
was set aside by Waggaman at the instance
of the Catholic University"
Hearing on the rule to show cause issued
by Justice Barnard late yesterday after
noon has been set for September 10 next
before Justice Gould, who will hold court
during the first half of September. Under
the rules the Catholic University will have
until that date to file its formal answer to
the charges and to set up a reason why the
appointment of a receiver is unnecessary.
Attorneys Hamilton, Colbert & Hamilton
and Charles ]. Bonaparte now Secretary of
the Navy, appeared of record as counsel
for the Catholic University in the bank
ruptcy proceedings, and will probably look
after the interests of the university in the
new litigation.

Where the Tailor Errs.

Tailors do not demand prompt payment
of course but. nevertheless, they expect
too much, and they are frequently lacking
in taste. They never seem to realize that
they are under heavy obligations to the
customer who wears their clothes. He

enough, he always sends to those who he

county is free from all kinds of lawless-

Scenery in Hawaii.

the Honolulu Advertiser.
That the Hawaiian Islands are rich in
scenery Is not the thing to be said of them
The truth is that they are all scenery and
that the grandest most varied kinds rival
ing any other spot on the earth's surface
There are no plain or monotonous areas in
this group. Here one is never apart from
the immediate proximity of mountain and
ocean in endlessly varied combinations
popularity of all these islands is the
continual change in the form and combina-
ton of scenery. These forms seldom seem
to repeat themselves. One can travel but q
few miles on any island without opening
fresh and wonderful combinations of gran
deur and beauty. For example. the three
or four hours ride down the railway from
Honolulu will give one every half hour an
entirely fresh arrangement of striking
scenery. each quite unlike all the others
A chief element in this variedhess of Inn
nressiye forms lies in the fact of a regular
graduation In the ages of the five principal

less centuries has developed changes of

miles from northwest to southeast. The

Hence the northeast islands are fearfully

tairls retain more or less of the tropical
