SEES INVESTIGATIONS.

A lumber dealer asks to print the follow
ing relative to the suits against the lumbermen
now on in the federal COURT
While the indictments made distinct stir
in business circles, there seems to be general
impression that convictions will be difficult
owing to the simplicity Of the black book plan.
AS one businessman put it today, the plan was
simply to do what the advertisements of the
cataog houses invited people to do. Much of
the business sentiment is also with the defense
in the coming trails.
at seems to me ridiculous that the mach
inery of the federal courts should be invoked in
a matter of trade competition" was the ex-
preston today of F. w. Hurry of the Hurry Sim
mons Hardware company. II say that the bring
ing of indictments against certain lumbermen
on the ground of conspiracy against the catalog
houses of Chicago, concerns every branch OF
the wholesaler jobbing, and retail trade of
Minnesota quite as much as the lumberman.
The lumbermen are the least of all concerned
in the competition with the mail order houses,
which have only within year so, began to
include certain lines of building material in
their catalogs. Other lines of business have
been united in an effort TO drive the catalog
houses from this territory for ten years past
1t is fully that long ago that the hardware
houses of Minneapolis, St. Paul, and Dulnth
refused to sell them goods.
This might be called conspiracy in the
restraint of trade, but we feel abundantly just
fed in it, We don't care to have our standard
goods mixed up with lot of mail order goods
and Seconds We are justified, too, in protec-
ting the merchant who sells our goods from
being undersold by cataog houses that put
our goods par with cheaper makes and use
as bait to catch suckers We much
justified in our opposition the reputable
merchant would be in fighting the existence of
mock auction house that demoralizes and in
jures his trade.
Now, if these lumbermen indicted for
sending for catalogs when they did not intend
to buy goods, the indictments be extended
to all the different lines of trade. 1t is surely
proper for us to urge merchants and others
thru our travelling men to send and get these
catalogs, and keep posted on their prices so as
to meet competition.
1--WE have all done it, so why not indct US
hardware dealers, furniture dealers, Implement
dealers, grocers, and so down the line?
"These Chicago mail order houses adver
tise Send for catalog,' and are people to be
indicted and sent Jail for responding to thei,
invitation?
1--WE furnish catalogs to people who write for
them ourselves, but we do not expect to prose
cute them if they don't buy goods from u.s.

The Kapss land rents have been ad-
justed. Col. Spalding pays his rent
and hsrvests his cane, but the gov
eminent harvests the rentals from al
but the cane lands
As was told in the Advertiser yes
terdsy, the question was raised as to
who should collect the rents for the
rice and other lands, other than cane
lands. included in the kapss lands
after the lease expired. The rentals
from the suhlessees amount 10 about
$4,000 s year. The rent reserved in
the lease for the whole tract, 8 lease
made thirty years ago, was $500. The
difference represents quite nice in
come. Col Spslding wanted it. The
government gets 1t. It took nearly al
day to settle the question. but the set
Element favors the public.
The lands under lease TO the Makee
Sugar Company included both the lands
Of Anahola and the Kapaa lands. In
the Anshola lands. most Of the rice
lands were reserved 70 the government
and were rented separately and direct
" by the government TO tenants The
rice lands in Kapaa were included in
the lease 10 the sugar company and

Shortly before the leases expired some
months ago an arrangement was enter
ed into between the government and
the Makee Sugar Company for the con-
tiuued occupation Of the land pending
s final and detailed settlement Of the
questions Of leasing. As 10 the Ana
hOla lands the understanding Of the
government was that the lessee, the
Make Sugar Company. should continue
as lessee az the old terms until some
other arrangement was reached or until
further notice. But as TO the Kappa

RECORD IN LANAI
CASE RECEIVED

Attorney General Hemenway yester-
day received from the Clerk of the
Supreme Court of the United States n
copy of the printed record in the La
mai case. AS the printing of the rec
ord was only ordered about three
weeks ago. by cable. its receipt yester-
day is considered evidence of very
quick work on the part of the estab-
lishment that prints all records for the
Supreme Court.
The printed record is a pamphlet of
forty-three pages. bound in bun paper
cover. 1t contains an index, and
copies of all the papers filed in the case
from the beginning until now. There
is the writ of error itself; all the pro-
cesses in the case: all notices from
attorneys; all affidavits; the opinion of
the Circuit Court Judge, De Bolt. who
decided the case originally; the opinion
of the majority of the Supreme Court.
dissolving the injunction of the Cir
cult Court: the dissenting opinion of
Justice Wilder. and the proceedings
subsequent TO the dissolution of the in
junction.
The Attorney General is now insert
ing in his brief the references to the
pages of the printed record.
Only one copy of the record is sent
to each side. no matter how many at
torneys there may be. Attorney A. G.
NJ. Robertson has not yet received his
copy of the record.

PERSIA MAIL CLERKS
REFUSE MANY LETTERS

There was a good deal of conster-
| nation on the departure of the Persia
yesterday morning on the part of many
people who came to the steamer after
the close of mails at the postoffice to
get belated letters for the Coast
aboard. Many letters were refused.
and there was much disappointment in
some cases. The letters refused were
all such as We're not in government
stamped envelopes. or which. il they
were in gOvernment-stamped en-
velopes, also bore additional stamps.
For the first time probably since the
organization of the Territory, when
the United States postal regulations
went into effect. the rule in this re-
gard was strictly enforced. That was
the cause of the CONSERVATION and
disappointment
Many people thought that the vessel
was acting in a capricious and arbi-
trary way and was denying the public
rights. But the fact is that the yes
sci was acting entirely within the reg
ulations and was not enforcing them
as strictly as il might have done. The
fact that this is the first time they
have been enforced in their general
scope at all is probably the reason why
people thought some advantage was
being taken of them.
The postal law in regard to the mat
ter IS that common carriers running on
a regular mail route may receive and
carry mail outside that delivered to it
by the postoffiee only when it is in
observation-disclosures envelopes. fully
prepaid, sealed so that the opening of
the envelope will destroy the envelope.
fully directed and with the date writ
ten or stamped on the envelope.
The vessel is not required to receive
or carry such mail but may do it If it
sees 1T, under the conditions of the
law as described above. Thus the YES
sci is not obliged to receive such mail
from the public if il noes not want to.
but can do it as an accommodation to
the public.
The regulation in regard to full pre-
payment was not enforced yesterday
as ii might have been, but all letters
in government-stamped envelopes with
10 additional stamps on them were
accepted.
No reason for thus enforcing the
vas given. 1t was not be-
cause Of any request from the postof-
fee L is supposed to be a measure
1n the part Of the steamship people to
reduce the amount Of this mail, which
has been growing larger and larger,
especially since the San Francisco
earthquake, and both to and from San
Francisco.
