GUAM WANTS 4
NEW TARIFF BILL

: WASHINGTON, May 22.-By some
surreptitious means the Navy Depart
ment has caught the tariff fever, and
it was learned today that Mr.. Beck
man Winthrop, Assistant Secretary of
the Navy, is busy "revising down
ward the Moses tariff bill, which he
will shortly submit to the President.
1t is true that no one at the depart
ment knew until late this afternoon
what the Moses tariff bill'' meant or
why it was that the Assistant Secre-
tary of the Navy had to be delving in
to schedules. - Mr. Winthrop explain
ed that the "Moses tariff BILL is
possibly named after Laurence Harry
4doses, of the Marine Barracks at Gu
am, and that Guam wants its tariff re-
vised
Natives of Guam appealed to Gov
ernor Dorm, who appointed a board of
naval officers headed by Major Moses.
Guam comes under the jurisdiction of
the Navy Department. The board of
naval officers framed tariff bill with
great care, recommending changes in
the tariff so that the maximum duty on
imports did not exceed twenty per cent
ad valorem
As the principal export of Guam is
cocoanuts it is assumed that Mr.. Win
throp is already an authority on the
subject. President Taft will shortly
promulgate an order putting the - Moses
tariff bill = into effect.

timber thought to be the post that
once sustained the watery abode of
the lake jewellers.
A severe fight between birds and
snakes took place on Saturday in
Yamagata prefecture. A couple of
crows made their nest in a fir tree
beside a shrine. Some time ago the
bird laid eggs. A large snake which
learned the fact made an attack no
doubt with the hope to enjoy sumptu-
Gus dinner on the eggs. The crows
alarmed at the sudden appearance of
the enemy desperately picked at the
reptile with their beaks and finalls
killed it. Later on, some hundred
snakes came to the nest from where
no one knew and attacked the birds,
apparently taking revenge on the
murderers of their companion Ex-
erting their utmost strength, the
crows succeeded in conquering the
dreadful host of the snakes. The
sight of the battle was indeed in
describable, the corpses lying in heaps
across the road. The battle over
the victorious birds returned to their
camp in high feather.

late to attend to anything else. Cox
said he had been unable to secure an
audience with the Sheriff.
Supervisor Logan stated that he wish
ed to have action deferred on the ordi-
nance of which he was the author Great
ing Bureau of Supplies and Materials
in the city and county. He praised the
ordinance, stating that it had been
found to work with great success in
other places. Nevertheless, he said he
wanted to talk the matter over with
other members of the board and also
to further study the proposition before
submitting it to the final vote.
Supervisor Quinn moved to reconsid-
er the resolution passed at the previous
meeting appropriating the sum of
1919 for repairs to the Paumalu road.
The Mayor had opposed the resolution
at the last meeting, arguing that the
money for the work should come out
of the regular fund and not out of a
special appropriation for the purpose.
The motion TO reconsider was passed
by the board, this meaning that, in the
end, the money for repairs will come
out of the regular fund.
The appropriation of $3.50 for re-
pairs to the Waikane bridge was final

CIVIC FEDERATION
ENDORSE WOODRUFF

The Executive Committee of the
Civic Federation held special meet
ing Monday afternoon, and, after a
long debate, passed resolution en-
dorsing Mr. Woodruff as second Federal
Judge for Hawaii. 1t was voted to
cable President Taft of the stand taken
by the Federation and also to cable
Senator Dillingham; of the Senate Judi
cary subcommittee having this matter
in charge This was done. Definite in
formation was received to the effect
that Woodruff s name had not been
withdrawn from the lists, and, while
it was the sense of the meeting that
the Civic Federation had no fight with
the Bar Association, with the friends
of A. G. M. Robertson, or with Robert
son himself, it was decided to take the
above action on account of the fact
that Woodruff S name is the only one
which can be considered now, he being
the only nominee.

city, on the corner of Liliha and School
streets. There are other buildings
which Mr.. Babbitt states are badly

one is wanted most particularly. At
least, so seemed to think the Honorable
Board of Supervisors, for the members
discussed the matter to considerable ex-
tent at the close of the meeting.
According to Superintendent Rabbit,
new buildings are badly needed at Ka-
huku-w where he says that 250 pupils
are cooped up in small tworoom
structure and 100 are kept away from
school because of the lack of room
at Kaawa, Kailua, Waipahu, Manoa,
Moiliili, Waialua, Wahiawa, and Ka-

Mr.. Babbitt stated in his lengthy com

matter was referred without other com
