MANDAMUS SUIT
AGAINST ASSESSOR

writ of mandamus has been sued
out of the Supreme Court by Eva Plan
tatfon Co. against James L. Holt, tax
assessor of the first division, to compel
the respondent to issue certificate of
appeal from assessment of complain
ants net income for the twelve months
ending January 1, 1907, at 1868, 1882,
and the tax to be paid thereon at $13,-
6465, and to accept a tender of Sl326.5O
as costs of appeal. 1t is alleged that
the appellant believing that said as
sessment was invalid, void, unlawful
and excessive, and not in accordance
with any law of the Territory of Ha-
wall and in contravention of appel
lant's rights under the Constitution OF
the United States, appealed to the Tax
Appeal Court of the first taxation d.
vision upon the 18th day Of May,
1907" and rendered to Assessor Holt a
notice of appeal with the costs as al"
ready mentioned, but the respondent
declined to receive either the notice or
the money rendered for costs, and had
not transmitted the appeal to the Tax
Appeal Court, and the Tax Appeal
Court had failed to take any action on
the appeal.
1t is shown in the notice of appeal
that Eva Plantation Co. returned as
it's gross income the sum of $780,, 928.77,
claiming as a lawful deduction and
exemption thereon the sum of $685.
999.21. The assessor denied the claim
and assessed the taxable net income at
$685.. 1882
Justice Wilder issued the writ yes
terday commanding Assessor Holt to
issue the certificate of appeal within
twenty-four hours or show cause, at 10
o'clock this morning, why he had not
done so.

50 SOOIF|i||Q
It's influence Has Been Felt By So
Many Honolulu Readers.

The soothing influence of relief
After suffering from Itching Piles,
From Eczema or any itchiness of the
skin,
Makes one feel grateful to the rem
edy.
Doan's Ointment has soothed hun
dreds.
Levi Johnston, shipbuilder in the en-
ploy of the Hardy Ship Building Co.,
place of residence Bay View Hotel, cor
ner of 9th and c SITS, Tacoma, Wash,
says: Itching hemorrhoids We're the
plague of my life, for eighteen or TWEEN
ty years. I think they were first caus-
ed by a strain while doing some heavy
lifting. Sometimes they burned and
itched so that I could hardly stand it.
[ used almost everything saw recon-
mended, but received little or no relief.
I went home last winter to visit my
folks, and while there learned about
Doan's Ointment and got box. To
my surprise, the first application gave
me so much relief that I felt as though
cured. I gave my brother-in-law half
a box and the remedy worked equally
as we'll in his case. When returned
to Tacoma I felt symptoms of a recur-
renee and procured a box of Doan's
Ointment and as on the former occa-
sion it gave instant relief. I keep
box on hand all the time, and when
there are any symptoms of a return of
the annoyance I make an application
or two, and up to date I have never
appealed to the remedy in vain.
wouldn't be without Doan's Ointment
for anything
Doans Ointment is splendid in all
diseases of the skin, eczema, piles,
hives, insect bites, sores, chilblains, etc
It is perfectly safe and very effective.
Doan's Ointment is sold by all chem
lists and storekeepers at 80 cents per
box (six boxes $500 or will be mailed
on receipt of price by the Hollister
Drug Co, agents for the Hawaiian Is

CASES DECIDED
BY TAX COURT
Judd Building Company Loses
---Other Appellants Are
Winners.

The Tax Appeal Court, consisting OF
James F. Morgan, Jacob F. Brown and
Willard E. Brown. rendered several
unanimous decisions yesterday.
Oahu Railway & Land Co. appealed
from an assessment of $640, $50 on in
terest in lease to Eva Plantation Co.,
claiming it was not assessable as it
was virtually paid in the general as
sessment of Eva Plantation Co. The
conrt decides thus:
The Oahu Railway & Land Co. has
an assessable interest which is tax
able.
after a careful revision of all tes-
timony presented, we decide that the
value of this assessable interest should
be computed on strict business in
vestment value for cash, and we place
the assessable value at $500, 000.''
Oahu Railway & Land Co. claimed
exemption on 1857 acres designated as
Al Kahololoa. The assessor allowed
the claim on all but four acres. Then,
finding from a survey that approx
mately 194 acres was submerged and
taking into consideration that the land
was under option for three and half
years to the United States Govern
ment, he withdrew the assessment on
this portion. leaving about two acres
in dispute. The court rules as fol-
lows:
Upon the evidence of the Oahu Rail,
way & Land Co. as to the present use
made of this land and its usefulness to
the company on account of its proxim-
ity to the wharves, and upon careful
personal investigation by this court,
we believe that the property is neces-
sary for the reasonable construction,
maintenance and operation of said
road. We therefore allow the exemp-
ton
The Judd Building Co. appealed from
an assessment of land at the south
corner of Fort and Merchant streets,
which it returned at $2S,16O, but which
the assessor assessed at SAT, $50. After
discussing modes of coming at values
of real estate the court concludes:
"A sale of land in the vicinity is the
best criterion of value and this is
found in the case of the Foster lot on
the east side of Fort street below King
street. This lot of 1160 square feet
was sold in the latter part of 1906 for
the sum of $4,000. Assuming the value |
of improvements at the liberal figure of |
$4,000, the value of the land would be |
shown by this sale to be $3.50 per
square foot. 1t would hardly be ques- |
toned that the value of this corner |
lot of the Judd Building Co. was equal |
per square foot to that of the Foster |
lot, and the assessment of this appel |
lants lot at $47250, or at the average
rate of 1882 per square foot, appears
to this court to be fairly made and is
hereby sustained"
The court sustained the appeal of the |
estate of S. c. Allen from an assess
ment of $1,000 on the Pantheon property,
Fort and Hotel streets, which was re-
turned at $4250.
Nothing was done at the opening ses-
sion of the Tax Appeal Court for the
nearing of income tax appeals yester~
lay afternoon. Continuances were
granted in the Bailentyne and Isenberg
cases. Mr.. BalIentyne wanted his case
put at the foot of the calendar Mr..
Cooper, representing the Isenberg es-
ate, lacked a witness.

LEE LOOK HAS
NEW EVIDENCE
Wants New Trial to Prove an
AIibi---Ah LeOng to Pay
Alim0ny.

The motion of Lee Look, convicted of
assault and battery, for a new trial
gives as grounds errors of law and
newly discovered evidence, also:
Misconduct of the prosecuting officer
in attempting to influence and preju-
dice the jury and thereby influencing
and prejudicing said jury against said
defendant by the repetition of improper
Questions and statements heretofore
ruled upon and held Objectionable by
the court"
Emma Kauai is the witness whose
newly discovered evidence is proffered.
She makes affidavit that she saw a
fight between two Cinnamon, at the
time and place of the alleged assault,
and that she is absolutely certain that
Lee Look was not one of them. Her
affidavit is circumstantially supported
by one from Esther Kia, a friend living
in the same building with her.
A STUBBORN CASE.
YIN Kyau All Leong was granted a
decree of divorce against Albert All
Leong by Judge De Bolt yesterday, on
the ground Of extreme cruelty. The
custody of the two minor children is
awarded to the libelant and libelee is
ordered TO pay to Charles Creighton, at
torney, a fee of $1OO, also to pay all
costs of the proceedings and $40 week
permanent alirnony.
During the tendency of the case AL
bert All Leong was sent to jail three
times for contempt of court in neglect
ing and refusing to pay temporary ali
mony and attorneys fee, yet without
getting any money out of him. What
he is going to do about the $100 fee and
permanent alimony ordered in the de-
cree of divorce is a matter of guess.
Albert is a smart looking young Chi
nese, who dresses well in European
style. His father is wealthy.

..The Old World And Its Ways"

Col. William Jennings Bryan an
nounces a new book of travel entitled
''The Old World and Ways" which
~recounts his recent tour around the
world and his journeys through Eu-
rope. 1t is profusely and elegantly il
Illustrated with 240 artistic engrayings
representing men and things seen in
the various countries of the earth dur
ing that noted journey. The engr av-
ings are made from photographs taken
by him or his party specially for this
publication. 1t is the monumental
literary work OF his life, and is pub
lished under his special supervision.
He has, by special contract with his
publishers, made the retail price low
down with the view to putting it
within the easy reach of every reader
and book buyer.
The book gives his experiences
what he saw and did-whom he met
and his impressions and conclusions.
He made a profound study of men and
things as he saw then in this noted
journey around the world. He gives
governmental, educational, religious
and other conditions, from the stand
point of a student and one profound
ly interested in all the people of the
earth.
While Col. Bryan travelled as a pri-
vate citizen he went with the prestige
OF having made two memorable con-
tests for the Presidency OF the United
States, and he was everywhere recog-
mixed and entertained a great rep
resentative American, having a lead
ing part in the direction of American
affairs. He was given opportunity for
observations never before accorded
to any one travelling in private ca
pacity.
If one wants to see the world, and
the people who are at the head OF at
fairs in all countries. as well as the
masses, he has in this book al oppor
tunity of seeing them through the eyes
of Col. William Jennings Bryan. 1t
is sold by subscription, and the
Thompson Publishing Company of st.
Louis, Mo-, are the fortunate pub
fishers. They offer an especially in
viting opportunity to solicitors in an
other column of this issue.

A Clean Legislature.

The neatness of the New Jersey legis-
lature in his personal habits need not be
e%xpatiated upon. The world at large
recognizes the fact and acknowledges it.
We question if there is another State
Legislature in all this broad land that
is SO scrnpulously nice in the habits of
its members. We point proudly to the
official record-the incidental bill.
There are only 81 Legislators, and dur
ing the session they had six hair brushes
apiece. Of tooth brushes, first quality,
each nan had three; of nail brushes,
three; of toilet soap cakes, seven; of
combs, three and a half; of whisk
brooms, four and a half; of hat and
coat brushes, three, and so through a
long list of personal necessaries costing
the State nearly five thousand dollars.
But what's the expense compared with
the reputation the Legislature has earn
ed for scrupulous personal cleanliness.
Men have sighed for a perfectly clean
Legislature. Here is one. The bills

FreehOlders Must Pay Bills.

A verdict given the Supreme Court
of this State in favor of an expert
physician and against the Board of
Freeholders of Ocean County calls
attention to the powers conferred by
the statutes of this State upon the
Judge of the Courts in matters
touching the conduct of their office
and the liability of the County as a
result. In the case referred TO the
expert gave testimoney for the State
and was in the case on approval of the
Prosecutor. The Board of Freehold
ers refused to pay the bill and the
doctor got judgment in the Supreme
Court as stated. When the Prosecu-
tors of the Pleas and the Judge of
the Court approve a bill for services
rendered it practically becomes a
judgment and whether the Freehold
ers agree to pay the bill or not the
bill must be paid.

The constitution of Oklahoma APP
pears to have had side lines and hob
bies put or it and to have been brought
into camp ready for saddling at the be-
hest of the administration. 1t was a
pretty good constitution as originally
drafted and there seems to have been
little need for revising it. But the po-
litical leaders of the State were more
under the domination of Washington
than at first appeared and when the orr
ginal document did not meet with in
slant White House approval, it was
knitted and pruned into more accept
able Administration approval. Some
of the provisions Of the Oklahoma con
stitution were referred to as radical
but as a matter of fact the most of them
were radicalisms that will look pretty
conservative within ten years.

.sJudging ka Appearances

1t is not necessary for one to
prosper greatly, or to possess an
over-abundance of this worlds goods
in order to become a target for the
cavils Of the envious minded who see
no deeper than outside appearances.
Many persons have attained to an
appearance of prosperity only
through much self-denial, hard work
close economy and promptly doing
without not only luxuries, but often
necessities for which they could not
at one pay the price. If, now and
then, they do indulge in some SEEM
ing extravaganza, this has been made
possible only through much planning
and saving in order that the wish
might be gratifed. 1t is not an ex-
travagance to them but a necessity,
for which they have saved and striv-
en- where others may have wasted.
