LIBERAL RULES FOR
CUSTOMS SERVICE

WASHINGTON, June 3.-The state
department mailed today to all United
States consuls copies of the new Gus
toms regulations issued in accordance
with the terms of the recent tariff ar
rangement with Germany. AS these
regulations are all in the line of relax
alton from the rigid regulations which
have prevailed, their announcement is
looked upon as virtually a change of
policy upon the part of this govern
ment toward both American importers
and foreign exports. The more liberal
treatment to be accorded in passing
United States customs officials, it is be-
lieved. will do much toward CONNER
cfally reestablishing the United States
in the favorable regard of foreign ma
tionS.
While the new customs regulations
abolish some of the methods which
have been regarded as harsh, they are
in no sense to be considered as a relax
alton against fraud or attempts to
evade the payment of duty by under
valuation.

A NEW SCHEME TO ROB.

Mrs. Robert Churton, wife OF the
Fort street messenger service manager,
was alarmed yesterday morning at the
strange behavior of a visitor, who
claimed to be a representative of the
Hawaiian Electric Light Company and
as such demanded the right to look
through the house. In Mr. Churton's
absence, although protesting, Mrs
Churton allowed the man to go through
the rooms and examine the lighting fix
lures. one of which he removed. prom

THE. HYPOTHESIS
IS QUESTIONED
BaIIou Asks the Court to
Knock Out a long
Question.

| Judge Dole was engaged all day yes
terday in hearing the testimony in the
Manchuria salvage case which was
taken in New York. Attorney BaIlou,
representing the Restorer, objected to
the testimony Of Captain Israel Merritt,
the expert who has been in the wreck
ing business since 1914, on the ground
that the hypothetical question upon
present such complete and correct
statement of the facts in the case as
shown by the evidence, as would give
Captain Merritt an understanding of
the situation that would make his tes-
timony of any value. He based his OBJ
lection on the question itself and the
in the light of the other evidence in
the case.
e. B. McClanahan, representing the
Manchuria, argued that the hypothet-
zeal question, while in one or two view
points incorrect, as was shown by
later-developed information, was sub
stantially a fair statement of condi-
lions, and did give Captain Merritt a
correct idea. He insisted that the OBJ
jections that were now being made for
the first time should have been made
at the time the question was presented.
Even if the question and the testimony
based on it should be ruled out, ap-
plication would at once be made for a
new commission to reexanine CAPTAIN
Merritt, and he was satisfied he could
now frame a hypothetical question that
would be more damaging to the libel
ants case than the one that was franz
ed. The Hypothetical question is about
twenty typewriter pages in length.
Judge Dole said he would not rule on
the objection at this time, but would
take it under advisement, and would
proceed with the hearing of the testi-
mony read.

tends to place them on a level with
the Chinese in the eyes of the world

JAPANESE WAR CLOUD
REFUSES TO BLOW over
UNITED STATES THAT THE
RIGHTS OF ORIENTALS
MUST BE RESPECTED

WASHINGTON, Feb. lit was
learned today from the highest au-
thority that Ambassador Aoki in his
statement of the japanese view of
the San Francisco school matter to
Secretary Root, was polite and diplo-
matte, but that in reality the state
ment was in the nature of an until
natum
This government is informed that
the Tokyo government insists that
it's subjects be treated with the same
spirit as those of the most favored
nation. The acknowledgment of
this principal is made condition
Of the precedent to further negotia-
tions. The Japanese subjects in San
Francisco must be accorded the same
privileges as the subjects of Great
Britain, Germany or any other first
class power.
This is why the president sent for

delegation favors the presidents

The president believes that San

by acceding to the demands of the

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The

japanese war clouc will not blow

Schmitz and the labor element OF
San Francisco may think war with
Japan will not amount to much, but
we are dealing with a proud, brave

nothing like the war with Spain.
When the Japanese strike they
