Sec. 1891 Revised Laws of Hawaii

Referring to Sec. 1882, Revised
Laws of Hawaii 1905, we find the
following on lines II and II Of
said section;-- Second, the ex-
penses of such corporation exclusive
of interest, annuities, and divi

That depreciation is considered
to be Loss actually incurred" in
the conducting OF an aggregate en-
terprise for profit is shown by the
fact that in making returns of the
actual cost of manufacturinggoods.
such as sugar, -four ETC., per INIT
of weight, careful managers always
include the depreciation as part Of
the cost of production. 1t may
further be shown that Banking In
stitutions in determining the value
OF machinery etc, offered as col
lateral security for loans extend
ing over long period, invariably
take into account the Inevitable
depreciation in the value of such
security due to use and time, in ad-
ditlon to other possibilities of re-
duction in value.
If then depreciation is part Of
cost of production, and tends to
reduce the value of capital in
vestment, it is an expense and the
undersigned so decide.

BROWN COULD NOT STAND
PROSPERITY.

Honolulu, July 30.--John Brown
couldn't stand prosperity. He had
to 90 down to Kakaako and get
drunk to celebrate, and as a result
he will spend the next 18 months
in the Oahu jail meditating on his
folly.
John was a paroled prisoner.
He had been sentenced to Jail for
seven years for robbery, but there
had been mitigating circumstances
and he had been a remarkably
good prisoner. In fact, for a con-
siderable time he had been a trusty
and was allowed to work outside
the prison gates and about town.
During that time he never gave
any trouble or got into any scrapes.
AS a result of his good conduct, the
Board of Prison Inspectors about
TOUR months ago paroled him.
For three months Brown behav-
ed himself. Then he got cocky.
He seemed to have the idea in his
head that parole worked the
same as pardon. He went down
to kakaako and picked up Porto
Rican woman, and reports began
to come in to High Sheriff Henry
about the wild doings OF John.
Last Sunday the High Sheriff
had a watch set on Brown and the
reports were verified. Brown was
drunk and running Kakaako with
a high hand.
Yesterday he was hailed before
the Board of Prison Inspectors
again and was sent back to the jail
to finish out his term. There is
about a year and half of it re-
naming, and for that length OF
time John will work for the Terri
tory and reflect on how foolish he
was.
This occurrence does not in the
least shake my faith in the parole
SYSTEM" said the High Sheriff this
morning. 81 believe it is one of
the greatest things in the way OF
reforming criminals that we have.
1t is better than pardoning them,
for as long as they are paroled
they know that they have to be-
have themselves if they don't want
to be sent back to prison. When
a man breaks his parole, all we
have to do is to haul him up and
send him back to Jail again with
out any court proceedings. A
man is given the chance to get in
the habit of doing as he should, |
which he would not do perhaps if
he had full pardon.
This affair of Browns will be a |
lesson to the paroled prisoners. It'll
win teach them that they can't
get out of jail and abuse their pri-
vileges without having them taken
away"

probably be out Of the college conference
for another year, as it made no attempt
yesterday at the annual meeting Of the
organization TO return to its former
standing. The matter did not even come
to vote. Il was hoped and expected that
the Wolverines would rescind their former
action and again enter the fold. This
means that Michigan Will remain with
the East in football and other sports.

mittee was that which related to the point
that no graduate from department couId
