s. R. McIlvain, gentleman of color
and much Drawn, is citizen employe

by all the sports, who were here at
that time, that McIlvain met Dick Sui
livan in terrific fifteen round battle
on September 10, 1906, out at Pupule
park, or whatever it was they called
that Kaimuki zoo.
Dick was given the decision but he
has often confessed that the colored
man gave him the battle of his life
The two met yesterday morning and
there was some lively joshing between
them.
At the time of their last. meeting
Dick was hardly out of the weller
weight class while McIlvain was vel
outside of the middleweight limit. But
it must have been great scrap, fol-
the memory of it has been revived
along the Rialto and yesterday after
noon everybody was talking about it

The chancellor stated, after hearing

there were many suspicious circuhl-
stances against Hayes, they were not
such as, in his opinion, as would Just

a total insurance of $4,000 or more on
the house and piano, although the
valuation of the property as given in

facts, together with the fact that
Hayes owed some debts which were

Gardner & Co. had a man in their
employ who acted as a sort of conf
dental friend and advisor to the old
negro, who was illiterate and unable
to read. He had been induced to deed
to the concern 100 acres Of land and
to lease 100 more for its timber, to
be removed in seven years. It was
charged that this lease was changed
to read Is years. This lease had been
secured for $500, much less. it was
alleged, than its real value.
Another deal was engineered
through whereby the company became
the owners of 100 acres of the negros
land, with a practically fee simple
title, while the negro got in exchange
only 100 acres Of less valuable land.
The entire transaction was deciar-
unjust that the chancellor's decision
refusing to permit the cancellation Of
the titles was reversed, and the order
referred to entered.

TARIFF BILL
KEPT SECRET
Lumbermen Are VARIED Over
the Canadian Duty Feature
Of Measure.
Associated Press.

| WASHINGTON, March 1O.-The
new tariff bill practically has been
completed by the Ways and Means
Committee, but it will be amended
probably in mahy details before it is
reported to the House. The Demo
| Gratis do not know as a certainty any
of the rates proposed by the Repub.
leans, and they may not get even a
glimpse of the bill until after the
Speaker has announced the names of
the new Ways and Means Committee,
and Chairman Payne has introduced
the measure in the House. The minor
ity will then have brief time in which
to propose amendments and make a
report.
There is considerable speculation
as to what reduction will be made
in the duty of lumber, for it is gen.
orally agreed that the present tariff
rate cannot stand. Last week it was
reported on good authority that the
rate would be reduced from 50 to
$l.5O, but present indications point
to 81 rate.
The Committee considered Ut great
length the question of putting a duty
on coffee, first at cents, then. at 8
cents, then at 2 cents per pound. As
finally in the bill there is no tax at
all, but this may yet be changed.
All the figures being still held as
tentative until the Committee is
ready to report the measure to the
House.

The section referred to is one
amending the privilege tax laws with
respect to insurance companies and
agents, and there are several impor-

Since the discovery of the error, or
fraud, or whatever it is, a few days

around the statehouse as to how it
might have occurred, but not even
those familiar with the Legislative ma
chinery have been able to suggest
even a possible solution.
AS soon as the error was discovered
it became apparent to Secretary of
State Power that there was likely to
be a row about it. He therefore dug
up the original bill, the enrolled bill |

secured permission of Gov. Noel to |
