All CHINATOWN IS
BUSY SCRATCHING
Remarkable Industry Is
Observed Among
TobacConiStS

A 1i-year-old boy with the 7-year-
itch isn't half as busy scratching MS
have been the Chinese and japanese
storekeepers of Honolulu during the
past two days. A hen-party would
be mildly inactive compared with
the energy displayed by these orient
ais, and dog with feas would be
thought only preoccupied alongside
of the Far Eastern merchants who
sell cigars.
1t is true. There has been a great
ana mighty scratching going on
among the children of the Celestial
Kingdom and the sons of the Mikado.
The industry displayed is unprece-
denied in the annals of Honolulu.
They have all been scratching the
labels on cigar boxes, and the warn
ing cry has been echoing through
Chinatown,
THE Revenue Man Will Get You
II You Don't Watch Out"
1t happens that among the many
end multifarious laws Of the United
States in which these merchants
have come to dwell and make their
living and the stake with which they
hope to return to the land of their
birth and spend their declining years
in peace and comfort is one which
Gays that when a seller ,of cigars has
exhausted the contents of box, he
must scratch and mutilate the reve-
nue. stamp on three sides of the box.
This is to prevent the boxes being
| refilled, perhaps, with cigars of a
poorer quality, without the payment
| Of the revenue duties.
II is a simple law and one easily
| understood, but also one which II is
| easy to forget. Consequently many
seller of the narcotic weed neglccts
ut times to scratch his labels.
The agents of the Revenue Depart
ment are aware of this failing and
| every once in while they make q
raid on the cigar sellers and seize as
| evidence such empty boxes as they
| find with The labels unscratched. The
| interval between such yisitations IL
usually sufficient to allow of care
iessness taking the place of vigil
lance, and the results of the haul are
| generally considerable nu number of
boxes gathered in and offenders
placed on the anxious seat. For the
laws Of the United States impose a
maximum fine of $50 for each empty
Lox upon which the label is un-
scratched.
Last Tuesday evening the internal
revenue people started out to find
1ut how the law was being observ-
I'd. All day Wednesday they were
busy, and, as a result, about thirty
| cigar sellers are wondering Just
where they will get of, for about
that number of tobacconists were
found with unscratched boxes In
their possession. Probably others
would have been found. had 1t not
been that as soon as the agent en-
tered one store In a district and the
proprietor found out what was up,
he sent word ahead to the others to
| get busy and scratch their boxes.
those who were caught, including
some Portuguese and haoles, are
now negotiating with the depart
ment with view to settlement.
