HEAD OF LOCAL IMMIGRATION
FROM GOVERNMENT POSITION.

+. NJ Bechtel, the head of the local
immigration service is expected to ar
rive here by the S. s. Manchuria, next
Monday on his way to the Orient When
Bechtel left Honolulu it was with the
anticipation of rendering his resigna-
ton to the immigration authorities at
Washington. He also desired to make
certain reports about the detail Of the
immigration business at this place. He
had received an offer of an important
appointment from the Pacific Mail s..
S. Company with headquarters at Yo-
kohama and had intended in event of
his resigning, to accept that offer. He
was reported some weeks ago as being
in Washington in consultation with the
immigration officials but no intimation
of his having resigned has reached the
local immigration office.

TWO RIVAL
ATTACHMENTS

High Sheriff Henry went to Wata's
japanese restaurant on Hotel street
yesterday with writ of attachment.
He found the county police in charge
under a writ previously issued. One
writ commands the county sheriff to
seize the store and it's contents and the
other tells the high sheriff to do the
same thing Henry left the store i'm
possession of the county, and in the
legal proceedings which are to follow
question is likely to be raised as to
the respective powers of the two officers
in such a matter.
After finding the store already seized
by the county sheriff, Henry asked to
be allowed to enter and take an in
ventory of the goods. This was done
and then the Territorial officer retired
from the scene. One probable solution
of the difficulty is to have the county
sheriffs sale take place, under the first
attachment served, and then if there
is anything left after satisfying the
claim under such attachment it can
