Huanchaco and Pecosmayo, having
sailed from the port last named on De-
cember is, making the run Of about o.

Puts Back
Distressed
HER CAPTAIN SICK AND HER
FIRST OFFICER SUFFERING
WITH BROKEN LEG.

The barkentine Coronado, Captain
Potter, which sailed Sunday forenoon,
December 80, for San Francisco, put
back to this port when five days out
with the captain sick and the mate
suffering with broken leg. She was
sighted Is miles each at 1880 o'clock this
morning and was towed in by the tug
Intrepid, docking at the Oceanic wharf
at 1:10 o'clock this afternoon.
Captain Potter was very sick when
the vessel sailed for the coast and he
is still so sick that he is unable to get
about without the assistance Of the
cabin boy and a stick. The mates
leg was broken last Friday by being
caught in a guy of the main boom
which swung and caught him.
DR.. Walters boarded the Coronado as
soon as she docked to attend to the
sick and injured,
Captain Potter was sitting in a chair
on the poop when the vessel came
alongside Fred Whitney of w. G..
Irwin & Co., boarded the vessel at once
to hear the report of the trouble aboard.
The captain being sick and the mate
being incapacitated, 1t was thought
best 10 put into the nearest port, which
was Honolulu.

TARGET
Practice
FOR MILITIA
COL. JONES HOPES TO GIVE THE
REGIMENT SUCH INSTRUCTION
DURING WEEK OF ENCAAIPMENT

When the National Guard goes into
its annual encampment this year, it
will be under specially advantageous
conditions, provided Of course, that
Colonel Jones will be able to make ar
rangements with the Dowsett Estate
for the use of the lands near Wahiawa
for the uses Of such encampment.
In the allotment of $1,000 given the
local militia by the War Department.
there is an item of $500 for target prac-
tice. Colonel Jones is planning to have
such target practice conducted during
the entire encampment. The land on
the Waianae plateau will give him suf-
ficient room in which to conduct such
practice upon an extensive scale and
will admit of his giving his men a very
practicable training in the drill Of
large numbers at the same time. Prac-
tically all of the members of the Ha-
wall team that went to Seagirt, New
Jersey, two years ago to the national
target practice, will be present at the
encampment, and they will be able to
instruct the other members of the regi-
ment, in the all-lmportant detail OF
shooting.
In addition to the target practice COL
onel Jones will give his men drills in
field work. There will be no sham bat
ties, but in the important details of the
services of security, Jones will give his
regiment full instruction.

SUPREME
COURT ON
STOCK TAX
OPINION HOLDS THAT ONLY AU-
THORIzED AND NOT POSSIBLE
INCREASE Is SUBJECT TO TAXES

An important opinion was given this
morning by the Supreme Court in the
matter of the City Mill Company Ltd,
VS.. A. ]. Campbell Treasurer Of the
Territory of Hawaii. The suit was a
friendly action brought for the purpose
of having judicial construction of the
laws relative to the taxation of au-
thorzed capital stock of corporations
in the Territory. The decision is one
in which all corporations are interested.
1t was won by the City Mill Company
The opinion which was written by
Justice Hartwell is as follows:
Act 81, Laws of 1905, provides that
"On filing any certificate or other paper
relative to corporations, in the office
of the treasurer of the Territory, in ad-
dition to the stamp duty and recording
fee now charged, the following fees
and taxes shall be paid to the treasur-
I er of the Territory for the use Of the
! Territory: For certificate of incor-
poraton, twenty7cents for each thou
sand dollars of the total amount of cap
/ ital stock authorized, but in no case
/ less than twenty-five dollars" etc.
1t is agreed that on June 49, 1906, there
were presented for filing i'm the Office of
the treasurer of the Territory articles
of association of the Central Mill Com
pany, Limited, in due form of law,
which have been duly approved filed
and recorded in the office Of the treas
urer and that the said company is now
and since June 10, 1906, has been a duly
organized and incorporated joint stock
company under the laws of the Terri
tory; that the articles of association
provide that THE amount of capital
stock of said corporation shall be Three
Hundred Seventy-five Thousand Dol
lars, Q375,OOO), divided into three thou
sand seven hundred fifty (S,75O) shares
of the par value of one hundred dollars
($100), each; and the corporation shall
have the privilege of increasing the
amount of its capital stock to a sum
exceeding Five Million Dollars C$5,OOO,-
0OO) and issuing shares therefor ac-
cordinsly"
The treasurer claimed that the statute
required the company to pay a tax on
$5,000,O00 as its authorized capital, but
the company claimed that it was tax
