FOURTEENTH ACCOUNT
Of c. R. BISHOP TRUST

The trustees of the Chas. r. Bishop
trust have filed in the circuit court
their fourteenth annual account, show
ing total receipts for the year ending
August u of 1924. 1859, and total
expenditures of s12,072.43, exclusive of
$190,271.25 spent in the purchase of
bonds, and of $50, 500 spent in the pur-
chase of notes. The cash balance on
hand August u, 1909, was S19,692.61.
The receipts are divided as follows:
Interest collections, $50, s56.17; cash bal
ance August u, 1908, $1,555.12; total,
$32,411,29. Capital: Bond investments
collected, $35,125; notes collected,
$217 ,0oo.
The expenditures are itemized as fol-
lows: Revenue: Sundry benefciaries,
$86l5; accrued interest payments,
SS2s. p Working charges: Law, S179.25;
expense, $4,000; salaries, $418.32; trus-
tees commissions, $1,631.39; care of
Kamehameha tomb, $50; total, 12,-
072.43.
The report states that the increase of
$2,349.l1 IN this years income as COM
pared with that of last year is due
principally to the higher rates obtained
in the reinvestment of the $215, 900 re-
ceived during the year in the settlement
of certain of the remaining Damon 4
per cent. notes, maturing June 1. 1909,
and which formed part of the series of
fourteen notes for 100000 constituting
the original endowment of the trust
The remaining $250,000, in four notes,
will mature December /, 1914.
1t is stated that the unusually large
cash balance in the bank is due to the
likelihood of an early call from the
trustees of the Bernice P Bishop Mu-
scum for funds with which to assist in
the building of a proposed new labor
atory.
Investments at the close of the year
aggregated $639,39s.75. The amount
last year was $636,540.

KING EDWARD WINS
MILLION IN STEEL

NEW YORK, August 7-One of those
"uneonfrmed reports" bobbed up in
Wall street this afternoon to the effect
that King Edward of England had made
a winning of more than 100000 in
United States Steel common.
me rumor was based on the fact that
j. L. Morgan, who is supposed to know
all there is to be known of steel. had
been entertained at Windsor Castle by
the King while abroad and that an order
TO buy $4,000 shares of steel common.
coming, apparently, from an English
source, was executed when the stock
was at from 30 to 80.
The stock sold today at a big adj
vance and those who credited the Eng
lish monarch with the deal estimated
that he realized $1,000, 900 on the trans
action. The report could not, of course.
be confirmed from any reliable source.

'to-date. This particular car is a single
rumble vehicle finished in red and black.

ADJUSTMENTS
Art Theater.

Notwithstanding the departure yes
terday for Hilo of the celebrated Lesso.
the Australian CinquevelIa, who will
perform at the Gaiety Theater, owned
by Bailey and Lawson Of the Art Thea
ter, there was an excellent attendance
at the latter place last night. And it
is no wonder, for the public have learn
ed to know by this time that nowhere
else do they see better or clearer pic
lures.
Today there will be an entire change
of program, the feature film being en-
titled EThe Ringleader." It is the
story of a serious strike in a factory,
which has tragic ending in that it
causes the loss of the life of Young
and ambitious overseer, who is killed
in the riot. The instigator of all the
trouble, who has been discharged for
neglect of duty, is thereupon set upon
by other workmen, who are incensed
over the lamentable death of their com
rade, and is given a sound drubbing for
his pains. The faetory-owner himself.
who has stubbornly resented the de-
mands of his employees, experiences a
change of heart, and thoroughly good
feeling between master and servants
is finally brought about. This is a
Fathe film, and very good one at
that
In addition to the foregoing, there
VIII be an assortment Of other films,
OF both serious and humorous subjects,
songs and excellent music
on the magnaphone.

The Empire.

If all the motion pictures were as
clean, historical and educational as the
HNapoleon' shown at the Empire on
Monday and Tuesday there would not
be murmur of objections from the
most fastidious. Tonight there will
be shown several just as good and
healthful, though they may be lacking
IN immaterial features. A handsomely
colored film, every Lass Has a
Queen of the Pathe school, will win
the appreciation of the elect and a
reform picture will draw signs from
those s'who come to Honolulu and at
tempt to set up a private code of
morals. - "The Settlement Workers -
brings the audience up against the real
thing in charity courts and should not
be missed. It shows how the other
half lives. A bit of comedy is infused
into the program by the introduction
of ga Cup of Tea and She,'' a very
interesting subject well rendered

The French Octroi.

Tt is the law in France thai resi-
dents in one section of the republic
must pay duty ON all goods brought
from another section. For instance if
the same law was in force here resi-
dent of Waikiki could not buy gro
ceries in Honolulu and take them past
the oetroi except he pay duty. The
officers are stationed at all roads along
the borders of districts. At the Park
tonight will be shown a series of mo-
ton pictures, HAcross the Border, -
being scenes in France which may give
an idea of the country, the customs
and the people. 1t is very good pic
ture and was greatly enjoyed by a
large audience that attended this pop
ular place of amusement on Fort street

DISPENSARY ELECTION RE.
TURNS PRACTICALLY CON-
PLETE.
Aiken, Beaufort, Charleston, Flor
ence, Georgetown and Richland
Will BE the Only Dispensary COun-
ties In the State-Thirty-Slx Coun-
ties Are Now Dry.

Returns received from the dis
pensary election held in the vari
Gus counties Tuesday have removed
all doubt as to the results and show
that fifteen Of the counties went
dry" and six wet. The balance in
Florence. Georgetown and Beaufort
was cast for the dispensaries, and in
Kershaw for prohibition, so that the
lineup Is as follows:
For spensary-Aiken, Beaufort.
Charleston. Florence. Georgetown
and Richland.
For Prohibition-Abbeville, Bam-
berg. Barnwell. Berkeley, Calhoun,
Colleton. Dorchester. Fairfield, Hamp-
ton, Kershaw. Lee. Lexington,
Orangeburg, Sumter and Williams
burg.
In few of the counties the re-
turns are not complete. but those yet
20 be received will not affect the gen.
eral result of the county.
Georgetown went wet by major,-
ty OF only 80 votes. Florence by II,
and Calhoun went dry by only II
votes. The only serious talk Of con-
test that has been reported Is in Rich
land. where the Prohibitionists are
not satisfied with the result.
As a result Of the elections Tuesday
thirty-six counties In South Caroline
will be dry within a few weeks, and
In the six above mentioned the dis
pensary system will be re-established
as soon as the necessary formalities
can be complied with.

large iron safe. but was unable. AT
this time the crazed woman gained
entrance into the Office and began
firing. The first shot went wild, but
the second penetrated his collar and
grazed the Adams apple. The next
shot broke his right leg just above

WEATHER MAN DEFENDED.
Bureau Issues Bulletin to Show Tia
1t Has Made Good.

Washington, Aug. 6.-Answering a
recent magazine structure on its abil-
tiles as a prognosticator the weather
bureau has issued bulletin intended
to disprove the theory that the bu-
reau "has not made good"
Instead, however, of giving its own
opinion of it's work, the weather bu-
reau has gathered together in this
65-page bulletin opinions expressed
IN hundreds of newspapers through
out the country in letters from repre-
sentatives of various commercial. ag-
ricultural and maritime interests, all
tending to uphold the work Of the
bureau.
OF more than 500 newspaper crit
icisms received by the bureau, all but
three were favorable
