DIAMOND IN
DIAMOND HEAD

For pure horse luck one of the boys
Of the engineers department of the
battleship Connecticut takes the cake.
When he enjoyed shore leave here IN
Honolulu he inquired of a citizen some
of the points of vantage to visit and
was advised that the Pail, Punchbowl,
Waikiki and Diamond Head were four
of the most accessible. Diamond Head
struck him as the first to visit and,
as he stated later, the name was the
fascination, as he had a fool idea that
because it was called Diamond Head
it had been diamond pile
He and, several others hired horses
from the Club Stables and rode to the
head and climbed to the pinnacle.
Each member OF the party broke off
pieces of the rock for souvenirs, re-
marking on the softness of the sub
stance, except the leader of the party
and he declared that he had secured
hard piece, of which he was glad fol
the reason that it would be better be
preserved.
Riding back to town he kept knock
ing the lump on the pommel of his
saddle, to rid it of loose material, anc
he observed that it was of a substance
that seemed very unlike rock and he
informed the others that he thought
he had a diamond. 1ney laughed al
him, but he took the stone to Carlos
shop on Fort street, across from the
stables and offered it for sale. Carlt
looked interested, but declared that HI
was well stocked; still he offered t.
exchange some cut gems for the rough
looking lump. Finally the man-o'
warsman offered to place the stone il
Carlos hanus for him to send ava!
and get cut, and to this Carlo agreed
1t is difficult at present to say wha
the stone is worth, if anything. o
this Carlo and the man-o'-warsmal
will learn later.

to get the members of the British AS

While it is a long shot, lost no time

that they get in touch with the officers

DOUBLE TAX

Attorney General Hemenway is
working on a matter which has been
passed up to him by Treasurer Camp
bell, as the result of complaint from
the Hawaiian Trust Company. This
concern now pays a license of $3.50 per
year for carrying on trust business
but balks at being forced to pay 500
more for acting as brokers in a stock
and bond business. 1t is claimed by
the corporation that in paying for a
trust license the brokerage license is
included. The attorney general will
soon be ready with an opinion on the
subject.
