LORD
HEDGE0
TREASURY DECLINED TO REMIT
HER 5000 FINE FOR TRAVELLING
IN JAPANESE STEAMSHIP.

SAN FRANCISCO, March "a .JMrs
10. J. Lord, of Honolulu, who came
here on the Japanese liner Tenyo Maru
and professed her readiness to pay the
5000 forfeit for travelling coastwise on
foreign ship, so anxious was she to
attend the Inauguration of President
Taft, has hedged.
She has asked the Treasury authori-
ties to remit the fine for the reason
that the doctor ordered her to come on
the Tenyo Maru instead of the Ameri-
can steamer Alameda, because the for
mer was the larger boat and she was
in i'll health.
Collector Stratton was stone-hearted
and recommended that the fine be en-
forced, but Mrs. Lord did the best she
could with the heads of the department
TO have his recommendation ignored.
With what little success her efforts
met is shown by the following let
ter received from Assistant Secretary
| William r. Wheeler of the Department
OF Commerce and Labor, by Collector
| STATIONS Office yesterday:
The department has received your
! letter of the 9th instant, transmitting
the application of Mrs. f. j. Lord for
relief from the penalty of 5000 incurred
in the case of the japanese steamer
! Tenyo Maru for violation of section 2
of the act of February II, 1898, in that
she was carried as a passenger on the
| said vessel from Honolulu. The appli-
cant submits an affidavit to the effect
that being in poor health her physician
! advised her to take passage on the
| Tenyo Maru because of its being a
! larger vessel than the American steam
ship Alameda, which left Honolulu
about the same time. 1t appears that
the applicant originally took passage
on the Alameda, due to arrive at your
port on February 10th, the purpose of
her trip being to attend the Inaugural
| ton in Washington on March 4th. Both
the Alameda and the Tenyo Maru en-
tered your port on the 18th ult. You
recommend that the fine be not re-
mitted In the opinion of the depart
ment the facts submitted do not war
rant its intervention in this case.'

THE TURNOVER
IS COMPLETE

j. Waller formally submitted his re-
signation as manager OF the Metro

the retail market.
Mr.. Hebron, by the way, is COM
plete and sole owner of the King street
retail market of the Metropolitan, and
Mr.. Klein is likewise owner of the
Paragon market. This explanation

concern at the very lowest possible
prices.

APRIL s FOOL

April's fool let the world go by him.
Just for a day to wander free,
BY the stream and over the moorland,
And under the greenwood tree.
The breeze was his, and the April sun
shine,
The flower at his foot and the sky
lark's song
The richest wight meath the azure
heavens
Was he as he roamed along.
He lost a day in the smoky city
Bickering, dickering, man with man,
But he learned to live, and refreshed
and chastened
Went back to his work, d man.
This is a story of golden lesson
Learned by never a written rule,
OF darkened eyes to the light uncov-
cred
This is the wisdom of Aprips fool.

that it has been carrying on it's opera
