DOMESTIC ECONOMY.
August Furniture Sale at Chamber.
 lain's Factor.

leading newspaper rightly said recently of the August furniture sale. Tt not only brings money to the dealer and manufacturer and saves money for the housekeeper, but 1t economies time for all three, 1t makes busy what would otherwise be dull season and hurries up the con sumer because if enables him to profit by buying early" Of such charac- ter is the Chamberlain August furni- ture sale which swings wide it's doors of economy through the entire month of August,
 Preparations for this special sale have been under way in the furniture department for many months, The Chamberlain furniture representative has been engaged in making personal tours of inspection to all the great furniture expositions at Grand Rapids, Chicago. New York, etc. and the re- suit of his labors Is shown in one of the largest and richest furniture stocks ever shown in this state. inclus- i've of showing of dainty artistic specimens, pieces of elaborate design and workmanship, colonial reproduc- tions and the French styles,
 A word about the sale-prices Chamberlain's furniture sales always offer the public merchandise at great ly below regular value, but this is never for the reason that the sale of- ferings are shop worn or antquated styles on the contrary the pieces pro- sented are always strictly up tp-the- period, the majority of them being brand new, especially procured for the sale, the finished work of some of the country's finest furniture builders The entire stock of fine furniture is in- cluded in the sale with the exception only of Globe Wernicke bookcases, Ostermoor mattresses, and office fur niture.

SOME IRREPARABLE LOSS.

Fire last night destroyed the Nuuanu
avenue home of Judge Abraham S.
Humphreys and very little of the val
liable contents was saved. House and
furniture and valuables were insured
for about $4,000.
The Judge was down town when the
fire, the cause Of which is not known,
was discovered, and the judges wife
and their four small children were out
.of town, being home-returnIng passen-
gers aboard the S. 5. Hilonian due from
San Francisco this afternoon.
From all accounts the house, 2047
.Nuuanu avenue, was unoccupied at the
moment of taking fire. rhe judge had
partaken of light dinner, prepared by
his Chinese cook, and had gone down
town to get some medicine for a severe
headache and first became acquainted
with the fact that his home was burn
ing while on his way home in hack.
Mrs. Charles S. Weight, 2O29 Nuuanu,
was the first to give the alarm to the
central fire station, telephonIng the in
formation at 9:O9 o'clock Chinese, at
a store nearby, yelled haul in" and
fire house" and few minutes later
Porto Rican boy turned in an alarm
from box 70, Pauoa road and Nuuanu
avenue.
1t was a stiff run for the apparatus
and by the time the chemical, followed
by the other engines, reached the fire,
the house was doomed. But mean
while considerate neighbors had made
an entrance through the back door and
saved a few valuabes. d Howard

value at about $4,000 in the tax returns
Another matter which will probably
receive a good deal of attention from
the members of the tax commission is
the suggestion that a Board of APP
praisers be appointed. This board
might consist of three, five or even sew
en- members, and could appraise all the
property which might be in dispute.
In speaking of the matter recently, Tax
Assessor Charles Wilder said:
81 am heartily in favor of the ap-
pointment of board to handle the ap-
praisement of property. At the pres
ent time one man does this work and
believe that it could be done much bet
ter and more fairly by board consist
ing of several members. do not know
whether the matter will be mentioned
among the suggested changes which
the Tax Commission will bring to the
attention of the Legislature, but l be-
lieve that it would be a very good
idea"

Among the many suggestions which
have been made to the members of the
Tax Commission, which is working
with a view to recommending changes
in the present tax laws, the matter OF
the tax on automobiles has been
brought up. At present the law calls
for the payment of a $40 tax on each
machine. This seems to many to be
unfair and a change has been asked
for.
The owners of small machines, cost
ing perhaps only $500 or $500, feel that
they areebeing rather imposed on when
they are forced to pay the same IL
cense as the owners of machines which
cost $5O00 They say that a graduated
taf, according to the cost Of the ma
chine, should be arranged for. 1t has
also been proposed to tax the autos
simply as personal property, but this
would hardly be paying proposition
to the Government, as the owner of a
$4,000 machine would probably give it's

VERY GENEROUS RECOGNITION
OF ALL WHO ASSISTED IN FIRE
CLAIMS MATTER.

The committee of thirty who were
appointed by the Japanese property
owners after the big fire of 1900 in
which the Japanese suffered a large
loss to look into the matter of claims,
have finished their labors, and as a re-
suit have voted to give number OF
presents to those who did such good
work in adjusting the claims.
After the Japanese fire claims hau
been paid, a large surplus was on hand,
and at a special meeting held some
time ago, the plan for the presentation
of gifts was announced.
The following persons in the next
few days will receive properly inscrib-
ed the gifts that have been decided up
on:
Professor Scott clock, the Japanese
Consul clock, and gold watches to
each of the committee of thirty.
The late ID. w. Stevens when he
passed through here on the Nippon
Maru, received a gold locket studded
with diamonds as his gift from the
committee.
Mr.. K. Ono has had a good deal to
do as one OF the committee, and ii is
partly through him that the commit
tee decided to present those mentioned
with presents, as a testimony of the
appreciation of the Japanese property
owners of Honolulu

TARGETS
ARRIVE

Among the shipments which arrived
on the transport Sherman for this city
were twelve Winder targets, which will
be used in the new shooting range
building, now being erected in the va
cant lot alongside of the National
Guard Armory. These targets are of
unusual construction and permit the
training of the marksmen of the guard
indoors, under conditions very similar
to those which would be experienced
outdoors with a strong wind blowing.
BY an ingenious arrangement of the
targets the officer in command can
hoist a flag showing that the wind is
blowing at any rate of speed desired.
The man shooting can then arrange
his wind gauge to correspond with the
change which would be needed for
shooting at whatever distance the tar
get is supposed to be from him

ALLEN
ESTATE

The fourth annual account of the
trustees of the estate of Samuel c. AL
len, deceased, was filed this morning
in Judge Lindsay's court and is a very
interesting document. The most inter-
esting feature, perhaps, is the income
derived from the estate in the past
year by Mrs. S. c. Allen, the widow OF
the deceased This amounts to $15S,-
1926. 33. The total receipts for the year,
as reported by the trustees, Mrs. S. &.
Allen, J. o. Carter, NJ. p. Robinson and
Paul Muhlendorf, amounted to $780,

the trustees for the annual period
amount to $13,75S.72.

Governor Frear, in a statement made
today, takes exception to the state
ments made in the Bulletin of yester-
day and the Advertiser of this morn
ing in regard to his having failed to
show the Republican Territorial Com
mittee the courtesy of asking for it's
endorsements before appointing Messrs.
Cofer, Campbell and Morgan to their
new positions. When seen this morn
ing he brought up the subject himself,
saying:
There appears to be either some
mistake or misunderstanding in regard
to my having not asked for the en-
dorsement of the three appointees,
Messrs. Cofer, Campbell and Morgan.
Before the appointments had been
made l took the matter up with the
Republican Territorial Committee and
received the assurance that it would be
all right and that the men named were
all satisfactory"
This statement was borne out by one
made yesterday by Chairman Alex.
Robertson of the Republican Executive
Committee. He said:

the committee together on the morning
of the appointments that they might
give the desired endorsements, but on

dorsements before the appointments
were made if possible, but being un-
able to accomplish this on account OF
the fact that there was so little time

of this and the fact that the appoint
ments have already been made, l do
not believe that any action will be
necessary"
\The general view of the matter
among the local politicians is that
Governor trear extended every cour-
tesy to the committee that could be eX-
pected but that it was an extraordin-
airy case, as the appointments had to
be made at once and the Executive
himself on account of the necessity OF
waitingfor information from Surgeon
General Wyman which did not arrive
till Monday morning, was not sure that
he could make the changes. That the
Territorial Committee through it's
chairman, A. G.. M. Robertson, was
asked for its endorsement is made GER
tain through the statements of both
