MONSARRAT
WINS TAX CASE
CIRCUIT JUDGE DE BOLT DECIDES
AGAINST ASSESSOR IN A $1,000
CASE-NEW LAW POINT.

BY an opinion handed down yester-
day by Judge De Bolt in the case OF
James L. Holt, Tax Assessor and Col
lector VS.. e. ]. Monsarrat for taxes
not paid for a number of years, the
Territory will lose in taxes about $1,000
because assessment was made to the
wrong person.
The defendant in the case held a life
interest only in the property in ques-
ton, but she was assessed as though
it were hers in fee absolute. A num-
Der of other persons have interest in
the estate, and according to Judge DE
Bolts Interpretation of the law, every
body having an interest in property
must be assessed according to the
value of his holdings, and no one Is
liable for taxes unless they have beer
assessed according to law. In the
present instance therefore, the taxes
for five years cannot be collected, &C
cording to the opinion.
The question is a new one, in the
Territory, and is therefore important
The property in question is situated
at the junction of Union street anC
! Adams lane.

SHERMAN HERE,
GOING At FIVE
TRANSPORT FROM MANILA THIS
MORNING IS MAKING A VERY
SHORT STAY.

With over three thousand tons of
Shanghai coal in her hold originally
destined for this port, the United
States Army transport Sherman ar
rived early this morning from Ma
Mia and Nakasald and locked, at 1880
o'clock at Naval Wharf No. 8, to find
that orders awaited her to take the
coal on to San Francisco.
Cuartermaster Captain C.. E. Bah
cock thereupon hung out sign on
the bulletin board to the effect that
the troopship would get away for the
Coast this evening at 5 o'clock, right
alongside a sign that folks from ashore
had pasted to the effect that ancient
Hawaiian dances would delight the
Army people at the beach this even
! ing.
The Sherman needs no bunker coal
has nothing to discharge, brought no
passengers for Honolulu and makes
as short a stay as possible, About
sixteen steerage passengers leave for
the Coast by her this afternoon, ma
rines and others.
Under command of Col. Walter S
Scott some six hundred men of the
| Fifteenth Infantry who have seen ser
vice in old Mindanao are homewarc
bound, going to Fort Douglas. TheJ
have their famous band along. This
band has been rendering entertain
ment throughout on the trip from the
Philippines and Japan and gave the
last concert before this port was reach
ed. Yesterday. Besides the troops of thu
Fifteenth there are three hundred
casuals from various regiments, time
expired men, sick and transferred
men. These and the men of the FIJI
teenth were marched ashore early thi'
morning for exercise.
In the cabin are one hundred pas
sengers, officers, their families ant
civilian employees and their males
homeward bound.
Fair weather was enjoyed through
out the entire traverse of 1898 mile
from Nagasald. At noon yesterda,
g. the Sherman was 200 miles from He
nolulu.

t morning, "but as far as my exper
4 ence goes with Filipinos I wouldn

They're too lazy"
a The fact that Hawaii is experiment

that they are not bad workmen.
