daughter Of the prisoner and wife of
former Mayor Becker, who personally
called on the governor.

ton on April Is. 1908. The principtl

tanned was that of i'll health. Several
physicians testified that Smith was in
great danger in prison.

charge of borrowing $4,000 in the
name of the Smith, Thorndike. &

American Bookman, he could not have
been without attractions, for certain

clared:

be married, yes, even if | were walk

To this perhaps should be joined his

TREASURY RUL|NG
FAVORS Hawaii.

Governor Frear has received notice
of very important treasury ruling
from Washington. This ruling is that
customs officials in the Hawaiian ISL
ands may allow Territorial officers to
examine imports of trees, plants, fruits,
etc, to determine whether they are in
fectcd with noXious fungus or para
sites or not, and whether they are like
ly to prove detrimental to the Terri
tory, and If 80 to cause their deporta-
tidn or secure an order of court for
their destruction. In case they are ex-
ported or destroyed the duty paid on
them is to be refunded to the importer.
1t is this latter matter that is impor-
tant, In the past through sort of
working arrangement between the GUS
toms officials and the Territorial of
ficials, examination has been permitted,
but the ruling in regard to the refund
ing of duties paid will remove one of
the greatest difficulties of the enforce
ment of regulations intended to protect
the Territory from noxious importa-
tions
1t is understood that under this reg
ulation it will be possible to prevent
the importation of such things as the
alleged sheep-killing Kea bird about
which there arose such controversy
between the Territorial officials and the
Director Of the Bishop Museum, DIR.
Brigham, some years ago; also the in
cident of the communicating crab from
Palmyra Island, and more especially
the proposed importation of some
snakes for exhibition purposes, an i'm
portation that was finally prevented by
members of the Board of Agriculture
and Forestry buying the entire collec-
ton and destroying them.
