THE LUMLE.YS
SCORE SUCCESS

The New York dramatic success,
"The Climbers" was presented by the
Lumley- BUTLER Co., last night at the
Orpheum theatre, before large and
enthusiastic audience. Never before
has Honolulu had the chance to see
a more finished production, and if the
other plays, that are to be produced
here during the stay of the company
are as good as last nights presenta-
tion a full house will greet every
change of bill.
To say which member of the cast
last night was the best is impossible,
as every one played in way that can
only be expected when a company is
composed of finished artists who know
their parts.
Between acts Harry Taylor and
Miss Helen Brandon entertained the
audience with vaudeville numbers

GLYN HITS
NEWSPAPERMEN
RESENTS PUBLICITY
GIVEN HER VISIT TO DANCE
HALLS OF RAWH1DE.

RENO New, June 15.-Declaring
that the newspapermen of the west
have no regard for the tender feel
ings of a woman and that they send
out stories that are unfit to print,
ElinOr Glyn, whose recent visit to
the tenderloin of Rawhide gained her
more notoriety, "roasts" the journal
lists of this state in a letter to a Reno
interview. She says their tendencies
are to use the nasty" occurrences
in their reports.
So shocked was Mrs. Glyn at the
tendencies of newspapermen of Ne
vada that she used six pages to ex-
press herself. Admitting that what
was said was true, Mrs. Glyn only COM
planned of the unethical policy of the
writer's.
"All novelists and those who shape
the worlds news should stand to-
gether," Mrs. Glyn says. There was
nothing in my trip to Rawhide which
merited the publicity it received.
True, Mr. Baker and some of my
friends took me through the dance
halls and gambling houses, but what
we saw did not degrade us. The
scene was the same as in many large
cities. though more animated. And
the wagers we laid were nothing.
Women do that sort of thing at Mon

office" the Secretary went on to say.
Previously the polls of those paying
property taxes were kept in the prop
erty tax books. This was for cOnve-
nience Of reference.
The other system is TO keep three
separate sets Of books, respectively for
income, property and poll taxes, with
card indexes to correspond. Under this
system when a man comes 10 the win

different places in order to wait on the
taxpayer. There is liability here OF
keeping long line of people waiting.
and in the hurry of business the clerk
might not go TO all the books.

concluded. in other words. I am

him relative TO that bureau"
According TO the afternoon papers
Treasurer Campbell is follow ing up a
complaint against Assessor Holt made
by I. n. HarbOttle. This was that Holt
had paid him commissions twice in
November for one particular collection
OF taxes, and referring 10 this double
payment. as he patted Harbottle on
the back, said: That's be all right.
I'll let you draw commission on this
again, just to show that there is no
ili-feeling"
This very friendly overture relates
to the fact that Harbottle, the previous
month, was given his walking ticket
by Holt for returning an insulting re-
mark TO him when he asked the COL
lector TO remain after hours for the
purpose Of giving some desired inform

Right in the midst OF one Of the

Walter F. Drake, Collector of In

At noon yesterday Mr. Drake, ac-

Governor Frear. on being asked
about the Tax office s-igation
yesterday, had practically the same
answer as he gave to an Advertiser
reporter nine days ago, as well as on
other days in the meantime. The
matter was progressing, but he was
not yet prepared to make a statement
for publication.
Treasurer A. ]. Campbell, who nine
days ago, as reported in the Adver-
tiser of January %, denied that the
investigation, which had by then
taken two days, was caused by any
thing wrong, yesterday said that the
afternoon papers just issued were
making much out of nothing. While
declining to talk for publication on
the particular matter spread upon the
pages Of the afternoon press. Mr.
Campbell went so far as to contradict
statements that the trouble was due
to a desire on his part to have As
SCISSOR ]. L. Holt removed from Office
q Attorney General Hemenway. who.
as stated nine days ago. was in the
conferences on financial matters in the
Governors office, still refused, as he
had done all along, to discuss the bust
ness.
Secretary Mott-Smith was the only
official who would make a definite
statement yesterday and, although It
was a highly guarded one, taken in
conjunction with the Governors init
nation that an investigation was in
progress from which the public would
learn something later, it makes it clear
that all the trouble is not merely a
question Of veracity between the asses
sor and a deputy over an item of com
missions.
Il am making an investigation into
both the efficiency and the system Of
the Tax Office" Secretary Mott-Smith
said
This is in line vii a purposed in
vestigation Of the workings Of all de-
partments.
They are trying a new system Of
