demonstrated that careful and con-
scientious auditing Cf accounts has
saved companies thousands and thou
sands of dollars. THESE savings have
not always been the resllt of detecting

The position taken by many OF the

a position that it could conscientiousiv
recommend some first-cIaSs set of .x-
pert accountants for the undertaking
or this work, and in order TO do so We
made somewhat OF a little iuvestiga-
ton. There are quite a number OF ac-
counting or auditing firms doing bust
ness In the United States, but the best
ana most efficient one was the impoF-
tant part of the question to be decidad
We very closely looked into the many
claims presented by these companies,
with the result that. although Sa-eral
of them possessed merit Of a very nigh
degree. We failed to find one that in
our opinion could even equal the Amer
lean Aunt Company, with general Of
fees located in the city OF New
York, y. Y.
There can hardly be any doubt but
what this firm of expert accountants
surpasses all others in this particular
line of work. The most interesting
feature about il is due TO the fact that
the American Audit Company is OFF,
cered by men who are themselves eX-
pert bookkeepers, men who. have de
voted many years of their lives to this
line Of business. and who are eminent
" equipped for taking good care of
the auditing suggested in this artistic

ments"

indeed high compliment to the Ameri-
can Audit Company.

LIQUOR DEALERS
MAKE No MONEY
MEETING HAS BEEN CALLED OF
THE LIQUOR DEALERS ASSOCT-
ALTON TO DISCUSS MATTER.

A meeting of the Retail Liquor Deal
ors' Association is called for Friday
afternoon at 2:3O o'clock i'm WayerlCy
Hail. The meeting is called by G.. j.
Mccarthy. but at the suggestion Of
Major e. H. L. Wolter The reason
for calling the meeting as frankly
stated by Major Wolter is that the rec
tail liquor dealers of Honolulu are not
making any money. BY this state
ment he refers to the white dealers.
None Of us are making any money
and we have not since the passage of
the last bill relating to the liquor trade
by the legislature" stated Major VOL
ter this morning.
"The Retail Liquor Dealers Associa-
ton was formed for the purpose of
drafting a bill and presenting it to the
Legislature at their last session. We
drafted one and took il to the Cover
nor, but he refused to consider It and
said that if it were passed he would
not sign it, He said that he was draft
ing one of his own and that one was
drafted and presented. The conse-
quence is that we are making no mon
ey. The Japs and Chinese are in the
business demoralizing it and the COM
munity.
This morning I passed the Togo Sa-
loon near River street and no less than
enc hundred and fifty natives were r
front of the saloon and in it drinking
for the Jap keeping the place was sell
ing "wne" at fifteen cents a bottle.
That's what happens. The Chinese and
Japs make money, but the white man
can't. And what kind of stuff is it that
can be sold for fifteen cents bottle
Yes, we are to have a meeting to talk
it over for something will have to be
