BACKBONE OF
HEMENWAY D. K.

Whatever may be the merits of the
controversy between the Star and
Treasurer Conkling over his awarding
of a printing contract to the other
evening paper, the Attorney Generals
office, according to the members of
that department, has its skirts clear
ard has nothing whatever to do with
the matter. The Attorney General de.
nies that he has ever been asked for
an opinion as to the Treasurer right
to act as he has acted in the matter.
The question, he says, has never been
put up to him and it is ridiculous to
say that he has not backbone enough
to render an opinion.
The trouble all arises because of
resolution adopted by the House of
Representatives at the last session, to
the effect that the auditor should call
for or cause the heads of departments
to call for bids for all material need
ed or work to be done. This resolu-
tion, however, was only House resolu-
ton and therefore of no effect, ex-
cept as the Auditor might of his own
He did so to some extent, at least,
and in some, if not all, cases, bids
were called for. But it was not the
intention that bids should be adver-
tised for. One subhead of depart
n,ent, however, did advertise for bids
for printing for his subdepartment, and,
according to the Attorney General s
department notified the Star it was
the successful competitor. But Treas
urer Conkling, who is the superior of
fcer of the official who advertised. re-
fused to concur in the award, for what
he says were good and sufficient rea-
sons. That, it appears, is what start
ed all the row, as the government off
cial wrote to the Star stating that he
had been instructed by the Treasurer
not to give that paper the contract.
But Attorney General Hemenway
does not at all relish being drawn into
the trouble, explaining that he had
nothing to do with the matter beyond
advising the Treasurer when appealed
to that there was nothing in the law
to require him to award contracts to
the lowest bidder. The Attorney Gen.
eral, however, puts it in stronger

cone of the evening papers seems
to insist on dragging me into a con-
troversy which it claims to have with
the Treasurer. The Attorney Gener-
rs department, as we understand it,
has nothing to do with the matter, and
we certainly are not interfering with
the other heads of departments and
debating how they shall run their bust
ness, for the purpose of annoying
either of the evening papers. The
Attorney General feels he has 'back-

self to be bullied into taking part in
a controversy which does not affect

HONOLULU IN MANY
A HONEYMOON PLAN

Seattle P.-I.-Hawaii is a paradise
for honeymooners-at least this is in
dicated by the registration book in the
Hawaiian building. One column is de-
voted to answers to the question:
"When do you expect to visit the Ha'
waiian IslandsP' Many of those reg
istering leave this column blank, but
the majority of answers are that they
will set foot on the isles following their
marriage. One young lady wrote,
"When Tom comes" and according to
Willie Morgan, of the information Of
flee, there were many "Toms" who
noted her address. Miss Mabel Hage, of
Highland, Kansas, deviated little
from the stereotyped answer when she
wrote, "Before / am married twice. "
Other answers are many. Among
them are "By and by" and "When
my ship comes in" Some are more
definite, stating the year, month and
day of their arrival; others frankly say
"Never," and many state their case
when they say "When / raise the
price Some are even so cruel as to
say "When water runs uphill" Partly
because the Hawaiian Islands are call
ed the "Paradise of the Pacific" many
write "When go beyond" or "When

that of professor with an undecipher.

NEW Y. NJ. c. A.
MAN COMING
tFrom Wednesdays Advertiserr..)

(From Wednesdays Advertiser.)

tiOnal director, A. Z. Larimer, is
aboard and would arrive this afternoon,
ready to take up his duties the first of
September.
Mr.. Larimer is a graduate of Coe Col
lege, taking the degree of Bachelor of
Science, and later the Bachelor of Arts
degree at the University of Iowa, in

HONOLULU FEELS
TARIFF CHANGES

The effects of the new tariff schedule
are already being felt in Honolulu. in
the prices of goods.
The price of Manila cigars, for in
stance, has dropped during the past
week about fifty per cent. Manilas
were selling here before at the rate
of three for a quarter. The price now
is five for quarter, and it is said seme
stores are giving the even half dozen
for two bits, This is already having
IN appreciable effect upon the cheaper
grades of domestic cigars, which are
obliged to meet the lower price of the
imported article, and it is probable that
even the higher grade cigars will be
lowered to some extent in price.
Lee Toma. as was stated in the Ad-
yertiser some days ago, had $4,000
Manila cigars in the bonded warehouse
when the new tariff went into effect,
and, under a ruling of the Treasury
Department, may now get them out
free. This accounts for the sudden
drop in price of the cigars, as had it
been necessary to bring them all the
way from the Philippines, it would
have been several weeks. anyway, be-
fore there could have been any change
in the price. Besides Lee Tomas
cigars. there are many thousand at the
custom house that belong to other i'm.
porters.
Liquors have also shown very sud
denly the effects of the new tariff, but
in the case of such goods the change
in price has been upward instead of
downward. The new tariff raises the
revenue on all spirituous liquors thirty
five cents per gallon above the revenue
duty that prevailed before the new
law went into effect OF course, the
liquor men think that they must get
this back. But they do not stop there.
The price of gins and WHISTLES, and
brandies has been advanced locally to
the consumer on an average of twenty
FIVE cents bottle. As there are five
"quart' - bottles to the gallon, this
means that the consumer is paying
$l.25 gallon more for the goods than
he was before and that, notwithstand-
ing the increased revenue tax, the deal.
ers are making ninety cents clear per
gallon on the change. All of which is
very fine for the dealers but not so
pleasant for those who have to make
mp the difference and then some.

DIR. McGrew was asked about the
strike of the japanese in the islands
and declared that the danger was not
passed, although things at present are
quiet.
"The japanese made a terrific
blunder at the outset" he declared.
"They thought when they went out
that the public would support them,
and in this they were badly mistaken.
Then they sought to get aid through
the newspapers and this only added to
the resentment which was already felt.
So they sneaked back to work, one by
one, but they are only waiting an op-
portunity. Once they are assured of
general public support they will strike
again, and if they do they will carry

COLLECTOR STACKABlE
HAD TOO MANY FRIENDS

San Francisco Call.-Collector of the
Port Stackable of Honolulu, who has
threatened to arrest the entire crew
of the protected cruiser st. Louis for
the alleged smuggling of tapa cloth
from Samoa, is well remembered by
the customs officials of this port for
the embarrassment his wholesale hos
pitality once caused them.
Stackable was passenger from Ho-
nolulu, a year or so ago, on the liner
Korea. He devoted his six DAYS on
board ship to making friends, and to
each new found acquaintance he ex-
tended an invitation to accompany him
ashore on the revenue cutter Golden
Gate when the ship reached San Fran
cisco. A S this meant avoiding the
usual delay caused by the examination
of baggage on the wharf the invita-
tions were accepted with alacrity.
So IN collector of the port at Homo
lulu, you know" he told his friends,
land the Golden Gate will be placed
at my disposal. 1 can save you a
couple of hours delay. Leave it to
me.''
When Chief Boarding Officer Charles
stephens climbed over the Korea IS side
Stackable was there to introduce him
self.
''It is late and would like" said
Stackable, "to 60 ashore in the cutter.
Could you arrange it for me7''
Stephens surely could.
And may take few friends with
met"
Eyes, 1 guess we can fix that" re-
piled Stephens. "I'l let you know
when we re ready. Better have your
friends get their baggage together so
as to avoid delay and save attracting
too much attention.
Stackable passed the word and ten
minutes later the alleyway on the side
of the ship to which the Golden Gate
was made fast was blocked with bag
gage and waiting passengers. On ev-
cry hand could be heard:
$50 and see Mr.. Stackable. He'll
fix it for you, too"
Ready now, Mr.. Stackable; get
your friends together" said Stephens.
When Stephens found that Stack.
able's friends constituted about rs per
cent of the liners passengers he called
a halt. Stackable escaped the storm
by boarding the Golden Gate, which
took him away, and for two hours af-
ter, until the liner was alongside the

FRED WESTENHEIsER'S DEATH.
Accidentally Shot Himself While Hunt
ing-Soon to Have Been Married.

Another deplorable death was add
ed to the chain of tragedies to occur
IN this country during the past few
days, Tuesday evening, when the life
less body of Fred estenheiser, a
well-known and highly respected
farmer, was found beside the county
road near the home of his mother
who resides about FIVE miles southeast
of Yoncalla. An ugly bullet wound
in the neck and discharged Win
chester rifle which laid beside the
body near a log, where mute evidence
of what had occurred, their position
indicating that the unfortunate man
was seated and in attempting to arise
accidentally discharged the contents of
the weapon. The bullet took effect
just below the chin, ranging upward
and penetrating the brain.
Mr.. Westminster left his home
early Tuesday morning for a hunt,
expecting to return by noon. Failing
to appear at the appointed time his
aged mother became alarmed, and in
stituted search, with the result that
the body was found by the roadside
about one mile from the family home.
The deceased was IS years old and
was to have been married in October
to Miss Cassie Cowan, of Yoncalla,
with whom he had kept company for
some time.
The remains were inferred in the
Yoncalla cemetery under the auspices
of the |. O. O. F. lodge, of which
