COMMENCES ON TUESDAY

On October 5 the collection of the
tonnage tax under the tariff law recent
ly enacted by Congress will be begun
in the port of Honolulu, as in all ports
of the United States. President Taft
on August 6 issued proclamation re-
voking similar presidential announce
ments which had suspended the collec-
ton of tonnage duties.
The present tariff law provides that
tonnage duty of two cents per ton,
not to exceed in the aggregate ten
cents per ton in any one year, be
imposed at each entry on all vessels
from any foreign port or place in
North America, Central America, the
West India Islands, the Bahama Is
lands, the Bermuda Islands, or the
coast of South America bordering on
the Caribbean Sea, or Newfoundland,
and a duty of six per cents per ton,
not to exceed thirty cents per ton per
annum, be imposed at each entry on
all vessels from any other foreign port,

PORTLAND, Oregon, September 81.
Lord Northcliffe, editor of the Lon

day. In an interview regarding the
peace of Europe he said:
"You have the facts before you that
Germany has refused to discuss her
vast armament, that the whole of her
.shipbuilding yards are engaged in naval
construction, that scores of her leading
writers make no secret of her inten-
tions; that she has on previous occa-
sions made unprovoked and sudden at
tacks on other nations; that the YES
sells she is building are designed for
commerce destroying purposes and for
fighting with an enemy that is near at
hand.
"You know also that the Kaiser has
declared, in a public declaration, that
the future of Germany is on the water.
In the face of these significant facts,
i fear that any foolish optimism is
greatly to be deprecated"
Lord Northcliffe left at midnight for

ALLEGED MURDERERS
PLEAD NOT GUILTY

Thomas Cummings, charged with the
murder of the negro sailor Wetherill,
and James McCandless and Waikiki,
charged with being accessories after
the fact, appeared before Judge De
Bolt yesterday morning and all plead
ed not guilty
Higashi, who had previously pleaded
guilty to the charge of carnal inter-
course with girl under fourteen, was
sentenced to three years in the peni-
tertiary and to pay the costs of court.
Judge De Bolt issued an order
resembling his previous order forfeit
ing the bail of Morita, one of the riot
defendants who failed one day to APP
pear in court and who had to be
searched for and captured before the
trial could go on. As Morita stood
trial and was not convicted, the Judge
thought the ends of justice did not
demand the forfeiture of his bail
The matter of Sing High, charged
with running n laundry without IL
cense, goes up to the Supreme Court,
Judge De Bolt reserving to that court
the question of whether or not he
ought to sustain the demurrer of the
defendant. The demurrer is based on
the claim that the laundry license law
is unconstitutional.
Fujikawa, who was convicted in the
district court on the charge OF having
been unduly intimate with Japanese
woman on the Judd premises and who
was sentenced by Judge Andrade to
nine months, appeared before Judge
De Bolt and asked for n mitigation Of
sentence. The Judge was lenient and
reduced the sentence to thirty days
imprisonment.
ALA, who was indicted by the grand
jury for larceny in the second degree,
he being charged with having lifted
few punches Of bananas, entered
plea Of guilty and the judge suspended
sentence for thirteen months TO give
him chance TO reform.
Tony Bclaska, charged with burglary
in the first degree, entered plea OF
not guilty and will stand trial.

Brewery's Defiance
of Law May Ruin
Its Stockholders

cause such stockholders any difficulty
or do anything which would impair
their holdings, but it is amazed at the
attitude of the management Of the
brewery in continuing to openly defy
the government and to force an issue
with it by claiming that it has the
right to keep open on Sunday and to
distribute liquor and that it is not un-
der the authority of the License Com
missioners or any other branch of the
territorial government.
"Under this claim, unless the gov
eminent is to put itself in the position
of admitting that the brewery is above
the law and can not be interfered with.
no matter what it does in violation
of territorial statutes, it will mean
that we will have to bring before the
courts Of the Territory the question
as to whether the liquor law of 1909
did not cancel the license granted to
the brewery in 1903, and if this should
be decided in the Affirmative, the diff.
culties and annoyances to which the
stockholders will be subjected and the
possible ruin of those who invested
their savings in the brewery must b,
charged not to the government, which
is not anxious to test this question
but to the management of the brewery
which has forced us to take this actor
in order to see that the laws of the
Territory are upheld.
"The government merely wishes the
brewery to place itself on level with
any other local liquor selling institu
ton and acknowledge the authority OF
the Liquor Commission and to stop tn,
sale or distribution Of liquor upon Sun
day. If they will submit to these regu
lations, it is all the government asks
but the present management and it
attorney evidently do not wish to com
ply with these requests and therefor,
it will be necessary for the govern
ment to assert its authority"
The case of the brewery and o.
Manager Bartlett came up in polio,
court yesterday morning, but on mo
ton of E. G. Peters, attorney for tn
defense, went over until next Thurs
day.

not, however to include vessels in dis.
tress or not engaged in trade.
Locally, this means that the tonnage
tax of three cents per ton per entry
or thirty cents in the maximum, is now
reduced to two cents per ton, or not
to exceed twenty cents per annum as
a maximum. Take the Pacific Mail
steamship Korea, for example, having
heavy tonnage She pays six cents
per ton when arriving from a foreign
rt-Yokohama as matter of fact.
After she pays this tax five times and
the maximum of tonnage duties reaches
thirty cents, she is exempt for the re.
mainder of the year.
The Canadian-Australian boats pay
six cents per ton from Australian ports,
and the maximum would be thirty
cents for the year. But these boats
also come from a Canadian port, and
the tax is specifically placed at two
cents, SO that each Australian boat
pays about forty cents maximum for
a year. The Tenyo Maru, a foreign
boat, pays tonnage tax coming from
Yokohama, exactly as required Of the
vessels Of the Pacific Man company.

which the party has tied itself, and
generally getting those who are and
who want to be Republicans into touch
with the situation as it stands and
securing and giving ideas as to what
the situation ought to be.
1t is probable that the committee
will start in early in reorganization
among the precincts, getting that end
of the organization back again on sys-
tematic, businesslike lines.
The main thing to be accomplished,
however is to awaken interest in the
party not only among the rank and
file of the voters but also among the
business men. 1t is felt that the party
has within itself all the elements nee
essary to success if only these elements
can be brought back into harmony with
each other.
If the merchant and mechanic, the
employer and the employe, the white
man and the Hawaiian can be brought
into contact it will be seen that all
want the same thing-a municipal gov
eminent running smoothly and har-
moniously along business lines and a
territorial government working for the
greatest good of the greatest number.

BALL OF CHIEF PETTY OFFICERS
THOROUGHLY DELIGHTFUL
FUNCTION.

The fourth annual ball of the chief
petty officers of the Pacific feet was
given last evening at the Alexander
Young Hotel, and it was success. The
chief petty officers recognize Honolulu
almost as their home for social func-
tions, and these annual events are now
looked forward to with equal interest
by the G. p. Os. and their many friends
in this city.
For the fourth time the G. P. o..
gave their ball in the Young hotel, and
so large was the function that the en-
tire roof garden and both bathrooms
were utilized. The decorations in the
bathrooms were artistic and were in
true navy style. Strings of pennants,
great flags and signals were festooned
across the halls in a most pleasing
manner.
A warship orchestra was stationed in
each ballroom alcove, and the music
for the two-step and waltz, played al
ternately, was so fascinating to the
dancers that they called for encores
at the conclusion of each number. The
chief petty officers were admirable
hosts and did not fail to make their
guests acquainted, and there were no
empty programs. Commissioned Of
fcers, including the Admiral, were
present. A large number of petty Of
ficers from the German cruiser Arcona
and the Dutch cruiser Noordbrabant
were also present. The German chief
petty officers were respondent in blue
jackets with rows of silver buttons and
silvered devices upon their arms. The
hosts promptly introduced their broth
ers of the navy to young ladies', who
found that the Arconans were excellent
dancers.
The night was most favorable to a
| successful ball, and the roof garden
| flooded with moonlight, was filed with
gay assemblage. Refreshments were
| served there, and it was with regret
that the guests watched the program
| growing ever nearer and nearer the
end. Those in charge of the ball were:

STREET CARS IN
HEAD-ON COLLISION
(From Sundays Advertiser.)


Two Rapid Transit cars, one filed
with passengers, the other a relief car,
smashed into each other in a head-on
collision at twenty minutes past eleven
last night Several persons were more
or less cut up and injured and score
received minor bruises and shake up.
The collision occurred on the Puma
hou line, on Beretania avenue, just
opposite the Dutch Reformed church.
The regular Punahou car, number l,
loaded with passengers, was on an out
ward trip, making full speed. A relief
car, Just out of the barn, was being
driven at good speed towards the
switch. The motorman of the regular
car in some manner failed to see the
special coming towards him, although
many of the passengers did and COM
menced jumping. The cars crashed in
to each other and the remaining pas
sengers were either thrown out or heap
ed up in a struggling mass. When a
census was taken it was found that of
those who jumped nearly everyone had
had a severe fall. One Chinaman held
up broken finger. Other passengers
rubbed tender spots and looked for
hats and parcels. On the car, Lieut.
enant Ancrum, of the Marine Corps,
had his knee badly cut, while others
were shaken and bruised. The fronts
of both cars were smashed in.
Another ear was rushed down from
the barn and the passengers picked up
and carried on.

MACON MUST
PAY UNCLE SAM
From Saturdays Advertiserl

]. Alfred Magoon must pay that
$3.50 to the government of the Unit
ed States. Judge Woodruff so de-
cided yesterday morning after trying
the case of The United States VS.. j..
Alfred Magoon. Magoon appeared in
his own behalf, while the government
was represented by Deputy U. s. Dis
trict Attorney W. 7. Rawlins.
The suit was for the balance of the
customs duty and storage on $50
leather dress imported by Mr.. Magoon
and upon which he refused to pay
the duty because he would not accept
the garment. Mr.. Magoon claimed in
his argument that he did not order
any leather dress from Mexico. He
asked the man who bought the dress
to get him one from New York. In
stead, the dress came from Mexico and
therefore was dutiable. And, anyway
the garment was not satisfactory and
he, therefore, refused to accept it oil
to pay the duty.
The dress was sold by the custom:
people for duty and storage, but
brought only $3.50, whereas the duty
and storage amounted to 50. Magoor
refused to make good the balance, ant
suit was instituted to collect it. Nov
the defendant must pay not only th'
$3.50 but also the costs of court.

Brewery stock may not be worth the
the paper it is printed on, if the brew
cry persists in its attempt to fight the
government and insists on proclaiming
itself above the law. The attempt of
the company to override law and order
and to do what it pleases in the face
Of the laws and statutes and in de.
fance of public opinion may, accord.
ing to Deputy Attorney General Lor-
rim Andrews, result in the ruin Of those
who have invested their savings in
the capital stock of the corporation.
1t is not the desire of the govern.
ment to bring about any such result
but if such is the result, it must be
charged, says Mr.. Andrews, not to the
government but to the management OF
the brewery.
As has been already noted, brewery
stock has been dropping gradually
ever since the disgraceful affair OF
last Sunday. Should it be decided by
the courts that the brewery really has
no license, the bottom will surely DROP
out and the stock will be practically
worthless.
Deputy Attorney General Lorrin An
drews, commenting yesterday on the
situation, made the following state
ment:
"The government fully appreciates
the situation of the stockholders Of
the Honolulu Brewing and Mailing Co
and that they have invested larg,
sums of money in the corporation un
der their belief that it was legitimat,
business from which they could ex
pect legitimate returns in the shape o.
dividends and it is not anxious t
