The SOUND OF THE spy
IS HEARD IN THE LAND
WAR OF WITS BETWEEN AMERICAN SECRET
SERVICE MEN HAS BEGUN IN HONOLULU-REPoRTED FINDING
OF CARRERPGEoN PHOTOGRAPHIC OUTFIT BUT AN INCIDENT
OF THE CONSTANT BATTLE BRAINS

Honolulu, and Hawaii generally, but
the leeward coast of the island of
Oahu in particular, is getting a great
deal of advertisement she wots not off.
1t cannot be called promotion pub
licity in the ordinary sense of the
term, although in the long run it
amounts to as much, for the special
notice referred to is going abroad to
various national governments of the
world in the form of reports of spe-
cial agents on this Island, or in this
Territory, in regard to the develop
ment of military doings here.
Not a puncture is made in the ma,
tural ramparts of Diamond Head but
the matter is communicated to coun-
tries of the Occident and the Orient,
Many important items are sent some
where west of Suez, as well as east
of that interesting gateway.
A point of interest in the matter
of foreign investigation of local mill
tary development is that scarcely a
steamship comes from the Orient with
out it's passenger who is on secret SER
vice for an Oriental government, and
steamships journeying back again are
carrying with them men who have
viewed, as near as they could, affairs
and conditions on the mainland and in
Hawaii.
One man does not stay long on duty
He might be recognized
OF course there is no war and N
one is going to lose his head for spy
ing"
1t seems to be a well recognized or
der of things, according to militar!
men here, to have around a small clouC
of foreign witnesses whose identit!
cannot usually be proven, though nov
and again the secret service of th
home government spots the foreigl
"rubberer" and makes 1t warm enougl
in a quiet and unofficial way for hin
to remove his presence. Not but tha
there are American observers in othe
countries, but the particular point o
interest at this time as far as Hawai-
is concerned is that this mid-Pacif
station of the United States is excit
ing very usual curiosity on the par
of foreign governments.

This report probably settles the fate
of the bill. 1t has already passed the
House of Representatives and fav-
orable report from the Senate Judi
ciary committee practically insures it's
passage by the Senate, and as Roose-
welt is in favor of, it, it will probably
become law within a few days, making
1t the duty of the president to appoint
another United States Judge for this
district, who shall have similar juris-
dicion to Judge Dole.
There are a number OF local candi-
dates talked of for the position, though
most of the active ones have kept
dark 1t is said that there Is a move
in favor of A. Lewis Jr., law partner
of w. o. Smith, and that very inflnen-
tial endorsements of him are at hand.
Circuit Judge Robinson has been
talked of as an aspirant, and it is un-
derstood that he would accept. but II

TO PLACE ANOO
IN BANKRUPTCY

Proceedings have Deen taken to
place S. Ando of Hilo in involuntary
bankruptcy, E. C. Peters having filed
papers in the Federal Court for the pc
titioners, Hoffschlager Company, Won
Hamm Young Co. and l. Rubenstein.
Although the aggregate of claims of
the petitioners is but SG2447, they al
lege as cause for putting Ando through
liquidation in bankruptcy that he has
committed on act of bankruptcy in
making a general assignment to Y.
Takakuwa and T. Odo.
Judge Dole having been communica-
ted with at Hilo by wireless has sig
nified his readiness to sign an order
for the respondent to show cause why
he should not be adjudicated bank

able on February II.

body had been taking special pains to
get "bird's-eye' view of something,
and somebody has evidently left town
hurrledly, only to be succeeded pretty
soon by some other operator from the
same government.
There is a silent war continually
being waged in places of military i'm
portance all over the world and this
war has begun in Honolulu.
IT is war of wits, of foreign spies
against home secret service men. The
public never hears of the actual do
ings and only those who can read be
tween the lines ever see anything of
international significance in the occa-
sional newspaper reports of secret SER
vice news.

secret service" said a military man
this morning, but it would be foolish
to suppose for an instant that a center
of importance as is Honolulu and as
Honolulu is to become is not well
fortified in the matter of intelligence
if not, as yet, in the matter of guns

President Griffiths of Oahu College,

blegram from Washington, D. c., an
nouncing that Chandler B. Lyman of
Hawaii had passed his West Point ex-

Lyman is graduate of Punahou,

1t is regarded as not unlikely. how
ever, that the appointee will be from
the Mainland. The position is a very
attractive one for lawyers. It carries
a salary of $4,000 per year and is prac-
tically a life appointment, with in
come provided after retirement for old
age. Such positions are in great de-
mand, and it is regarded as certain
that in view of the prospective pas
sage of the bill in Washington, Main
land candidates are already laying
their wires to get the appointment.
The new judge will have jurisdiction
similar to Judge Dole, over federal
cases. Dole's calendar has long been

cuMMINs FoR INCOME az.
His Amendment to Tariff Bill Differs
from Bailey's.

AiSAi DatA0y .
Washington, April Ex-senator Cum
minis Of Iowa win introduce an amend
ment to the tariff bill Monday, providing
for the imposition of an income tax. His
amendment viii differ from Senator Bail
ey's in that 1t viii probably be a gradu-
ated tax and win reach incomes Of less
than $1,000; also il win be limited TO
individual incomes, e1empting corpora
tion incomes.
The progressive Republicans, Of whom
Senator Gnmmins Is one, are putting
forward the argument in support Of an
income tax that the bill reported BY the
finance committee win not yield enough
revenue to meet public needs and that
the income tax Is necessary. They feel
by an agreement with the Democratic
senators they can secure the adoption
Of some form of income tax.
It is certain that the injection Of the
subject into the tariff situation viii de-
lay adjournment BY prolonging the de-.
bate.
An adjourned meeting of the Demo
cratic senatorial conference took place
at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon At
the meeting Wednesday, the Democratic
senators put themselves on record in
favor Of Senator Railey's income tax
amendment as q party measure. They
also adopted resolution declaring it to
be the general policy OF the Democrats
in legislating on the tariff to vote for
lower duties on necessities and higher
duties on Injuries.
The income tax amendment Is expect
ed to command the entire support Of
the Democrats In the Senate, but three
on four Democrats have expressed doubts
as to the wisdom OF enacting such a law
AT least one senator. who was a member
of the House in 1894, when the Wilson
Gorham bill passed, is on record as vot
ing against the proposed income tax
that became a feature Of that law.
The conference yesterday afternoon
took up the details Of duties. The indi-
cations were that they would decide TO
vote for duty Of 81 on rough lumber
and 10 per cent. duty on hides.
