NORTH ON MAY y
Capt. Ca1tWeIl Arrived
Today To Assume
Command

The United States Revenue Gutter
Manning sails on May 25 for her
Behring sea cruise, under command OF
Captain j. c. Cantwell.
Captain Cantwell arrived this morn
ing on the Siberia to assume command
of the Manning, which since last Aug
ust has been under the command of
Lieutenant JOynes. The new COM
mander was lately in command Of the
Revenue Cutter Mccullough at San
Francisco.
Two other officers, Lieutenant w. H..
Shea and Lieutenant f, l.. Austin, also
ARRIVED on the Siberia and reported on
board the Manning this morning for
the Behring sea cruise.
The people of Honolulu who know
Captain Joynes-and nearly everybody
does-will be sorry to see him leave
this harbor. Captain Joynes and his
officers have made many friends here,
who vote the Manning officers about
the best lot of good fellows that have
been stationed here in many year
Honolulu will echo Captain Joynes
hope that he be returned to Honolulu
after the Manning comes back from
the North.

MAUI AR0USES PLEASANT COMMENT

WAILUKU, Maui, May 15.--Maui
is outdoing itself today in hospitality
extended to the visiting Congress-
men. Early this morning they were
net at Kahului by large crowd of
the local people. The only hitch of
the reception arose from doubt as
to which Of the boats, the Claudine or
the Mexican, the party was on.
From Kahului the married mem
bers in the party were taken to pri-
vate homes and the balance housed
at the Maui Hotel.
After breakfast the visitors were
assembled and taken through the
new Wailuku Sugar Mill. This visit
was most interesting and everything
possible was done by the mill en-
rloyees to make the visit pleasant
and instructive.
From the mill the party was con-
yeyed in automobiles and carriages
to the Wailuku public school
Here the first formal speech of well
come given the visitors up to that
time, on Maui, was made by little
12-year-old Chinese girl.
The pupils had gone through a
march-drill and were massed on the
school buildings steps. Then All
Hing, the Chinese girl, came forward
and made the speech welcoming the
party. She said, in closing:
Members of the Congressional par
ty, we, the pupils of this school, well
come you. Our parents are of many
bationalities, but we are all loyal

Courts Must Decide
On C0nstituti0naIity
Of Income Tax Law
PLANTATIONS ALL FILE APPEALS

The constitutionality of the income
tax law and the validity OF its meth
cd of administration are 10 be attack
ed in the courts. The matter comes
up through the refusal Of the Tax
Assessor, acting by and under the ad-
vice of the Attorney General. to re-
ceive the tax returns filed by the va
rious plantations, and to allow for
depreciation and deterioration of MAJ
chinery, etc
All of the plantations yesterday fill
ed appeals and the matter will be ta-
ken to the courts at an early date,
and in case the Supreme Court of the
Territory decides in favor Of the Tax
Assessor and against the plantations,
it will be taken to the Supreme Court
of the United States.
This is the statement made this
morning by Judge Cooper and d. L.
Wilmington, who are attorneys for
.ee~t2i,g OF the plantations Mr..
WitkingtOn, who is attorney for Eva
plantation, as member or the urn
of Castle & Wilmington, said that he
hopes to be able to get a favorable
decision from the Territorial SUI
preme Court, but in case of an ad-
verse decision, the matter will be car
ried to the highest court of the land.
1t is probable that the appeal of
Eva plantation will be made the test
case, The plantation claims depre-
citation and deterioration of about
$S5, 900. The tax on this amount
would be in the neighborhood Of ST.
400. But in this case more than the
matter of depreciation is involved.
Mr.. Wilmington stated this morning
that the question of the constitution

morning, speaking of the trip of the

Dr.. Cooper is the first of the Shri-

arrived in the Siberia this morning
While he, like all those who went
on the trip, enjoyed themselves to
their hearts content, he is not sing

that it did not compare with that of

Lou Windsor, who instituted the
Aloha Temple spoke in glowing terms
of the Islands at the banquet, as well
