NEW YORK, April "a thrilling

would have been drowned. but for the
bravery OF the crew OF the Voturno
The wrecking OF the Champagne,
which sailed early In February from

Harrison ordered the ship swung
around, and approached as near as
possible TO the doomed schooner. The
gale had increased, and II was GER

called through his megaphone. telling
the men on the deck TO keep up their
courage, as he would not leave them.

NEW YORK, April s.-The excite

-that Is being accomplished In this
city by L. T. Cooper. OF Dayton. Ohio
continues undated. Many cases o.
deafness OF years standing have been
relieved by the young man. and his
fame has spread far and wide. AS a
result his headquarters are crowded
daily with people coming from all
parts or the city and from the sur
rounding towns within a radius OF
twenty-five miles.
There seemed TO be considerable
bkepticism al first as to Cooper's abil
fty TO do as he claimed, but this feel
Ing is rapidly giving way TO one OF
confidence. In view OF the fact that
the work be has so far done has been
clearly proven TO be genuine.
m addition 10 his work In relieving
DEAFNESS, Cooper advanced the theory
that stomach trouble was the founda
tlon OF nine out OF ten diseases. and
claimed to have preparation that
would restore the stomach to working
order. and thus get rid OF such
troubles az rheumatism and affections
of the Kidneys and liver in about two

PINEAPPLE TAX
APPEAL CASES
tFrom saturday 5 Aavertlser.l

From Saturday Advertiser.)
The Tax Appeal Court for Oahu yes.
terday rendered a decision in the Ave
pineapple exemption -nses. BY stipu.
lation the appeals by each of the tax.
payers claiming exemption under the
Act of 1907, were to be decided by one
decision applying TO each. This deci.
sion was rendered yesterday 1t holds
that the exemption Act of 1907 ex-
empted all property used in the produc-
tion of pineapples.
The decision is in line with the de-
cisions of Tax Appeal Courts on the
other islands in similar cases. All the
cases have been appealed on behalf of
the Territory. The following is the
decision:
"The wording of the law is clear
and the court cannot go back of the
law itself to find intentions not ex-
pressed therein. Section 1928 of Re
vised Laws, as amended by Act of Ap.
ril, 1907, provides that for five years
from December 81, 1907, all property
real and personal solely and actually
in use for the cultivation and produc,
tion of pineapples (and other specified
products) shall be exempt from prop.
erty taxes thereon; the only exception
to this is in the proviso-'That such
exemption shall not apply to any land
in the excess of forty acres so used by
any one person, firm or corporation in
the cultivation and production of pine
apples Whatever the Legislature
meant this is what is said. and the on
ly question that appears necessary for
further consideration is whether the
exemption applies as claimed by the
Tax Assessor only to the raw product,
and not to canneries and machinery
used for the later disposition of the
raw product.
"The tenor Of these exemption acts,
and the Legislative discussions in con
nection with them, leaves no doubt
that they were meant to encourage
new and diversified industries for
which manufacturing machinery might
be as useful and necessary as any ma
chinery for cultivation; nor does the
term pineapple as found in the law APP
pear to demand restriction to any
particular stage of production short of
finished product in the marketable
form that may best suit or be necessary
to the producers.
''Counsel of the appellants states the
purpose of these appeals to be to Sc
cure a construction of the Amendment
of 1907, and it is therefore not neces-
sary to consider whether the original
Act of April %, 1903, creating tax ex-
emptions for five years from that date,
was repealed upon the passage of the
Act"
