ARE BUSY
REGISTERING GUNS
CONSIDERABLE WORK CAUSED
BY NEW LAW-JAPS APPEAR
NOT TO HAVE MANY ARMS.

The registration of firearms and am
munition in possession of residents Of
the Territory with the County Clerk,
as provided for by an act of the re-
cent Legislature, is keeping the Clerks
office force busy these days. BY the
end of the month all possessors Of
weapons of the firearm order will be
supposed to have furnished a complete
description of same, and those who
have failed to do so will be subject to
fine Of not exceeding $500.
Up to the present time there have
been comparatively few Japanese who
have indicated that they own firearms,
and the majority of those who have
done so are merchants and business
men.
The Chinese are making good
showing and the wonderful contrap-
tions which some OF them bring to the
Clerk to have registered as firearms,
would make a collector of antiques
green with envy Most of the Chinese
who thus register arms have no am
munition to go with them.
The white and native population is
also making a good showing in report
ing their defenses. The work of ar
ranging and classifying the reports
which are being made will be quite a
big job for the Clerks department, and
will require some little time after all
are in. These records, by provision of
the act, will not be open to inspection
by the public as in the case of ordin-
airy public records.

WARNED ABOUT
COUN TERFEIT NOTE
LOCAL U. S. AUTHORITIES ARE
GIVEN OFFICIAL NOTICE ABOUT
A NEW ISSUE.

The local United States authorities
have been warned of the circulation of
a new counterfeit $40 note. Notifca-
ltion was received by Special Agent
Taylor by the mail yesterday
The note is Of the First National
Bank of New York City. The check
letter is NJ. The note bears he sig
naure of L. w. Lyons, registrar of the
Treasury. A few silk threads are scat
tered through the layers of the paper.
The note is Autographed and has the
likeness of President Mckinley. The
portrait is poorly executed and the
counterfeit note is nearly IA Of an inch
smaller than the genuine issue. The
back of the bogus note is more decep-
tive than the face, but the back is of
a lighter shade of green than are the
genuine notes The charter number
and red letter e and seal and face are
of light pink color instead of dark
red and carmine.

NOT
PACIFIC, TO BLAME
U. S. COURT GIVES OPINION TO-
DAY IN THE MARY f. FOSTER
sTRANDING CASE.

U. S. District Judge Dole gave a de-
cision this morning in the case Of Pope
and Talbot, libellant, VS.. the Dredger
Pacific and the tug Fearless, libellee.
The decision was given on exceptions
to the libel.
The case is where the schooner Mary
e. Foster got aground in the channel
while being towed by the Fearless.
The tow tried to pass on the Eva side
of the channel, as the dredger Pacific
was at work on the Waikiki side. The
dredger signalled that the tow could
pass on that side In attempting to
pass the schooner grounded. Later she
relocated at high tide and then the
tug Fearless put in a line on her stern
and tried to tow her, but the schooner
again got aground on the Waikiki side
of the channel. She sustained damage
to the extent of $4,000
The court holds that the Pacific was
not responsible of gross negligence as
charged and let's the dredger out of
the case. The opinion holds, however,
that there is a cause of action set out
in the libel against the Fearless, as
she had the schooner in tow when both
STANDINGS took place. The court
holds as to one of the other exceptions
that while the dredger might have sig
nailed to the tug to pass on the Eva
side, that signal on the part of the
dredger did not relieve the Fearless
of responsibility in going there as she
should have known whether it was safe
for her to take the tow to that part
of the channel. An exception to a
charge of negligence by the Fearless in
towing the schooner the second time
after she was fioated is disallowed.
In effect the decision holds that there
is no case against the Pacific, but one
in admiralty against the Fearless for
damages.

MAY GO TO CANADA.

An emigration fever seems to have
struck pretty hard the employees of
the various County Offices although no
one has yet been heard from yet who
has handed in his resignation for the
purpose Of trying his fortune in other
chimes. The Land Of Promise for the
moment appears to be the great Cana
dial northwest, where, according to the
seductive literature which as found its
way here from canny Canuck promot-
ers, is a land flowing with milk and
honey and about all the other good
things of life. The popular idea that
Northwest Canada is cold, is indig-
nantly repudiated by the handsome
circulars: instead it is merely invigor-
ating picnic weather all winter long.

KANEoHE BRIDGE FINISHED.

Work on the new Kaneohe bridge
which as been in progress for the past
several weeks, was completed on Wed
nesday. The bridge is a wooden struc-

their tour of the island by automobile
a few weeks since, and work was at
once started under direction of County
Engineer Gere, whose report on the
matter will probably be submitted to
the Board of Supervisors at their meet

IT Just about fifty years ago that the first open
i air band concert was given in this country That
was Boston Common. 1t was the beginning OF
amusement for the people paid for by the municipal
ity To-day there is probably city in the country
of any size which has not been following Boston
example for years And in many small commune
ties the village bands of eklng out the re-
ceipts from fairs and SocIalS and tremen 5 musters
with the allowances the boards of selectmen make
for concerts at the square on summer nights. In
New York city the appropriation for these concerts
is forty thousand dollars year That means that
there are concerts in at least three of the parks
every evening during the season.
Abroad it is the story, although there much
of the free music for the people is furnished by the
regimental bands. In England, for instance, it is
as much part of the duty of the Coldstream
Guards musicians any other famous band to
play at the open air concert as to tune up tor re-
view And in France and Germany too the people
who may resent being taxed for the support of the
armies have at least the satisfaction of listening to
the army bands.
The benefit of all this is not anything that
be shown by statistics but it is very great. Faust
was deferred from killing himself by the singing of
children. How many would be suicides in the big
cities of America and Europe have stopped on their
way to the river to hear the band and after hearing
have determined not to go to the river that night
