BLACK AND COLD IS
BOYCOTTED BY PUPILS

The Black and Gold, the official organ
of the pupils of the Honolulu High
school, has been boycotted by the pu-
pills of that institution, vigilance COM
mittees have been appointed to see that
none of the tabooed sheets get into cir
culation and pickets parade the corri-
doris during the noon and recess hours
to see that no scab reader sneaks into
the editor-business managers sanctum
and spends a nickel. AS a conse
quence the staff of the Black and Gold
has = stack of two hundred papers on
hand and printers bill waiting to be
satisfied.
The trouble arose yesterday over
an item which appeared in the Referee
gof last week, the blame for which was
1saddled upon Editor Soares, of the
School paper That he had anything
to do with it was Indignantly denied by
Soares. but he was suspended by Pro-
fessor Scott until the matter could be
investigated. In the afternoon Pro-
fessor Scott had secured information
that exonerated Soares, but it failed to |
satisfy his classmates, with the result |
ing boycott.

UNCLE SAM
WON 7 LOSE
Will Get as Much Money
From the Fewer
Saloons.

The talk of large reductions in the
number of saloon licenses to be grant
ed on the Island of Oahu by the Lii
,cense Board, under the new law, has
led to some fine calculations in the OF
flee of the Collector of Internal Reve-
nue. AS a result of these calculations
the conclusion is reached, tentatively at
least, that, after all, the reduction in
the number of liquor licenses granted
on Oahu will not materially reduce the
amount of internal revenue collected.
The way it is figured out Is this.
Uncle Sam issues two kinds of licenses,
wholesale and retail. The wholesale
license is required to sell in quantities
of five gallons or over. The retail Ii
.cense is $25 a year, the wholesale IL
ecense 500.
Under the new law passed by the last
Legislature a retail license, which is the
ordinary saloon license, authorizes the
sale of liquor in any quantity. But in
order to sell in quantities Of five gal
Ions or more a wholesale Federal. IL
acense will have to be taken out. AS 1t
is expected that practically all of the
saloons licensed by the new board
under the new law will want to be in
a position to sell in any quantity that
may be called for, they will probably
all, or most of them, take out the
larger Federal license. Thus, though
there may not be so many licensed
places, each will pay the $100 Federal
license fee instead of the SIS license fee,
and thus four times as much from
each one will be taken in by the Col
1ector of Internal Revenue. IF this
expectation is realized though the
number of saloons may be materially
reduced, it is not expected to affect
the collections of the Internal Revenue
Department.
Acting Collector of Internal Revenue
Drake has already posted notices
throughout the Territory notifying all
that these special taxes are
due July 1. They may be paid at any
time during the month of July.

ent Public instruction.
Dear Sir: In reply to your favor of
the 21st inst. | beg leave to report
more fully about our private German
school It is German-Englisn
school Our aim has been and is to
give the children of our German peo-
pie a good education in their own AN
guage and to have them acquire the
English language as well. I have laid
more and more stress on helping the
children well along in English and
have adapted the instruction to the
needs and conditions of this country,
replacing special studies in German
history and geography by Hawaiian
and United States history and geogra-
ply. etc, but the young children are
still taught for the first year or two
entirely in German. German is also in
the higher grade the medium of in
struction. Two hours are devoted !
every day to the teaching of English |
in the higher grade. 1 have now ad- |
vised the teachers to go a little fur
ther. viz, to repeat in English sub |
iect treated first in German, and to |
nave the children learn some songs in
English. and they will do so. but to
change our whole system entirely. to
each the little ones right away in Eng
ish, which is still an unknown Ian
,uage to them, could not advise, as

SENTIMENT IN TURMOIL
 ON THE SHOCK MARKET
A Further TumbIing Down of Copper
 Stocks Had a Depressing Effect.

New York, Oct. 16.-There was number of quick transfers in the stock market today which proved the ex- ceedingly unsettling sentiment. Rum- ors regarding trouble became more specific and more centered today. They were given direction by the events of the last few days in the curb market in extraordinary per- formances there with United Copper stocks. That stock dropped back to 15 today after having been running up and down the scale to as high as 50 for two days. Southern Pacific was among the first stocks to break away from the early upward tendency. The reiteration of reports that proof of re- batting has been obtained against the company accounted for its weakness. The weakness of copper stocks was aggravated by the assurance felt that the dividend of Amalgamated Copper would be cut at the meeting tomorrow. The expectation over the gut became more Respondent with the downward course of that stock. A late rally in the market was accompanied by re- ports that arrangements had been made to tide over the troubles of a group of capitalists whose affairs had become involved and were believed te be largely responsible for recent Oper- atiOns on the curb market. Bonds were weak.

HIDDEN HAND
 OF STANDARD
The Defense Is Not Yet
 Disclosed
It Will Be Elaborated When the Government Has Finished.

New York, Oct. 16.-Counsel for the Standard oil company have prepared an elaborate defense in the govern ment suit for dissolving the combine which they say will be developed in its entirety when the government att tOrneys have concluded taking testi- mony The Standards lawyers sad today they had not sought to adduca testimony on the cross examination of officials and employees of the so-called trust. which would refute the allega- tions of the federal complaint. but had deferred the bringing out of much ev- idence until later, when it could be produced continuously and in bulk.
 No intimation is given of the nature of the testimony which counsel for the trust would bring out. A telegram was sent William c. Rockefeller. as sistant treasurer of the Standard oil company of New Jersey. last night by counsel of the Standard that the gov ernment desired him as a witness be- fore the adjournment is taken on next Friday for month.
 Frank Kellogg. counsel for the gov ernment. spent the entire day placing on record the statements submitted by several witnesses showing the profits made by the Standard in diff ferent localities of the company. Statements were produced showing that the Standard not only secured information concerning competitive shipments in the United States, but in foreign countries also.

VIM. II. TAFT
 THE JOLL|ER
He Opens the First Philip.
 pines Assembly
He Would Be Disappointed 1.-the Natives Should Fall Down.

Manila, Oct 16.-Secretary Taft for mally opened the Philippine Assembly in the National heater at 1l:15 this morning in the presence of a large crowd of people. In his opening ad- dress MT. Taft declared that his views announced two years ago regarding the independence of the Philippine people were unchanged. He did not believe they would be fitted to govern them selves for at least d generation, but he added that the matter was entirely in the hands of congress.
 The secretary denied emphatically that the United States had and inten- ton of disposing of the islands, He said he was absolutely confident Of the Filipinos and said that he would be disappointed at their inability to legis- late conservatively. He asserted the belief that they felt their responsibil- ity.
 MT. Taft refrained from suggestions regarding specific legislation on the assembly and recommended that atten- tion be paid to the civil service. At the close of his address, MT. Taft form ally called the assembly to order. A short prayer was read by a native Catholic bishop in the islands. The assembly then took recess until o'clock this afternoon.
 Upon re-assembling at p. m. the business was the selection of a pres ident. Sergio Osmena a Nationist. who was formally governor of the island Cebu was chosen. Senor Osmena is a young man who had no part in the rev olution. He is held in high esteem by the government and his own people. He was nominated by Manuel Quezen, and seconded in an eloquent speech by Donimandor Gomez.
 All assemblymen including Ssnor Gomez whose election is to be contest ed. were then formally sworn in. The oath, included an acknowledgement of sovereignty and allegiance to the American government. The afternoon session lasted three hours. The only business transacted was the selection of secretary.
 The delegates showed that they had no understanding of parliamentary law and procedure. The principal feature of the session was the address by Senor Gomez, who declared against bringing politics into the legislative business and asked the delegates to show their patriotism by forsaking party affilia- tions and legislate for the benefit of the Philippines people. The new as semblymen and provincial governors were guests of Governor General Smith at grand ball tonight.
 Secretary Taft failed to satisfy some of the American residents of Manila regarding the policy of the American government. The general impression is that his speech was placative. He intimated that misSehavior would re- suit in the abolishment of the assembly but he declared that this contingency was not expected. As for Fflipinoes they expressed no opinion of Tafts speech one way or the other.

The Supreme Struggle Was Necessarily
 Reserved for Today
Both Fish and Hartman Were In Pleasant Mood the Business of Fighting Having Been Placed In the Hands Lieutenants.

Chicago. Oct. 16.-The meeting of the Illinois Central stockholders. which was called at noon today, fin ally adjourned late this afternoon until tomorrow morning. No vote on the election of directors was taken and it is possible that none will be reached before a late hour tomorrow.
 It was generally expected, however. that the early Session would see a new directorate established. The delay was caused by the inability of the three election inspectors, appointed to act as committee of credentials for con- sidering proxies. to finish their work. The adjournment was taken after an earnest tilt between William Nelson Cromwell. Harriman's leading counsel and James A. Patten. a prominent member of the Chicago board of trade. Cromwell desired that the meeting be adjourned until s:30 tonight, while Patton was set on having it taken un- til 9 o'clock tomorrow morning,
 It was stipulated yesterday by Judge Ball that a committee of three should be appointed to pass upon the eligibility of proxies. For this com mittee Fish who was to select mem Der. chose his private secretary. Chas. H. Wenman. Hartman selected Louis Fritch, assistant to the president of the Illinois Central. These were to se- lect a third, Patten acting for Fish and Cromwell for Hartman. These two men argued the greater part of the day and discussed many names but were unable to agree upon a third man. Finally a motion, made origi- nally by Judge Farrar that Judge Ball be asked ts select the third man, was adopted and the judge named E. S. Conway, a prominent manufacturer of this city.
 The meeting of the stockholders was called to order at F o'clock by Presi- dent Harahan of the Illinois Central About forty persons were in attend ance. Fish was greeted with applause when he entered. but the smaller stature of Hartman allowed him to enter unobseryed. Soon after he ar rived Fish walked over to where President Harahan was seated and placing his hand on Harahan's should CT. bent over and said a few words to him, evidently of a pleasant char acter. Harahan. however, was not in mood for social greeting, and threw off Fish's hand with a manner of much impatience. Fish merely smiled and returned to his seat. He occu- pied seat to the left of President Harahan, being surrounded ty his att torneys and advisers.
 Hartman. who left the conduct of affairs entirely to Cromwell, occupied a chair in the front row of the stock
 
 nor Deneen of Illionis, with whom he conversed cheerfully throughout the greater portion of the day. Next be- yond Deenen sat the son of Stuyves- ant Fish, with whom Hartman cor diaily shook hands as soon as he ob- served him.
 The actual proceedings of the meet ing were opened by collecting the names of the stockholders present per- sonally. and then Cromwell, who Co all
