.STACKABLE AFTER THE
SMUCCLERS ON BOARD
THE CRUISER ST. LOUIS
From Wednesdays Advertiser,

War has broken out between the Col.
lector of the Port of Honolulu and the
men and officers Of the United States
cruiser st. Louis, and il is probable
that there will be some exciting devel.
opments, including the arrest of mum
Der of the officers, petty officers and
crew of the warship.
The trouble arose yesterday over the
accusation by Collector Stackable that
large portion of the crew of the
cruiser were engaged in smuggling. Mr..
Stackable claimed that the ship was
partly freighted with tapa cloth,
brought from Samoa. and that this was
being smuggled ashore in large guam
titles by both the officers and men of
the st. Louis and sold about town.
This was the casus belli. The first
move on the part of the collector was
to go to beard the lion in his den In
other words, he went to call on Cap
tain Gleaves and tell him what he had
discovered and what he thought about
it.
The next thing was the introduction
Of Collector Stackable to one of the
cabins of the cruiser, where he was
curtly told by the officer of the deck
to stay until called for. This to the
Collector of the Port of Honolulu! 1t
was lese majeste, gross insult and dire
injury rolled into one, for the cabin
was hot and stuffy and no pleasant
place to stay in.
1t happened that at the time Col.
lector Stackable went aboard to see
Captain Gleaves the guns had lust
finished booming in honor of Governor
trear, who was making an official call
and who was still aboard exchanging
compliments with the commander and
officers of the cruiser. And a Governor,
when he goes aboard ship of war, is
person of more than average conse.
quence and everything else but the
business of being polite to him has to
be brushed aside. An effort was made
to brush Collector Stackable aside. But
he didn't brush worth a cent.

ed an officer, gently urging the Collec.
tor into tiny cabin that was unpleas.
antly hot. The Collector was so .dazed
for minute that he actually did go
in and take a seat. But soon he got
to thinking and he decided that he
didn't want to stay in that cabin, any.
way. So he wandered out and onto
the deck, where he was promptly spot.
ted by the officer of the deck. The
latter man of mighty authority prompt.

One site spoken of and which seemed
to find favor was the property on the
corner Of Hotel street and Adams lane
the Waterbouse property-which has
frontage Of about 100 feet and n
depth of 40 feet. There was also favor
for the site occupied by the old Hotel
Baths building which is being trans
formed into a moving picture theater
for II. X. Bonine, but it was under
stood that the price wanted by the
owner was prohibitive.
Secretary Super, of the Y. NJ. c. A.,
who recently returned from the main
land where he visited dozens of Asso
chiffon buildings, is of the opinion that
bnilding with a frontage no narrow
er than 100 feet with n depth of 175
feet would be an appropriate size, as
his would give space for a very large
gymnasium in the rear portion. Such
building as proposed under a $780,
900 fund would, of course, be from
three to four stories in height. The
directors after looking over many
plans thought that a building in the
Mission style would be appropriate.

VEAL TIL OF HAWAII
IS INCREASING FAST

The assessed value of the real and
personal property in Hawaii, according
to the report of Governor Frear to the
Secretary of the Interior, which the
Governor is now preparing, is larger
today than ever before in the history
of Hawaii, being $13S,9l0,S20. 1t has
increased over five million dollars in
uation, when the figure was $l33,-
924, 100.
The Governor is working on the
financial part of his report, taking his
figures in part from the reports of
Wilder.
Governor Frear says in his report to
the Secretary of the Interior that the
! receipts by the government during the
past fiscal year aggregated $3,051,.
526.Sl, an increase of 1881 ,77S.49 over
those of the previous year, which
amounted to 1869, 1882.
The expenditures for the past fiscal
year were also larger than for the year
' previous, being $2,934, ,9S4.10, as against
$117,605.24. But the receipts exceed
INT ny FllO,O-t.Il.
l The taxes collected for the past fiscal
year amounted to $2,0S0,635.71, an in
crease of $l99,7S7.SS over those of the
previous year, when they totaled only
| 81 $50, ,S47.S3
amounted to 1910, ,s9l.l0, or $1sl, 800. 81
more than for the year before, when
the amount was $7SS.90049.
ln 90 Ill
of taxes last year was less in percent
age than during any previous year. 1t
cost $62, ,76S.47, or only 3.0s per cent.
of the amount collected. The year be-
fore the percentage of cost was 3.64
which was the low record up to that
time.
1t appears that during the past year
the Territory has more than kept with
in its running expenses. The year be
fore it fell behind $l47 ,630.54. but has
made up nearly enough now to Offset
this. The large increase in taxes col
lected made up the deficit. But the
Governor states that all the excess now
on hand will be needed to carry the
Territory through TO the next tax col
lection time and to provide sinking
fund for the $2,000000 bonds which il
|, ] IL lhe intention OF tne government u

However, several large amounts have
been received during the past yea

Stackable to get of that deck and back
into the cabin and stay there until
Governor Frear should have left the
ship,
IL was then that things began to
happen. 81 will not go back in that
cabin replied the Collector indignant
ly 81 came down here to see the cap
tain about this smuggling. But now
| III so ashore and have the whole bunch
arrested. ] IN the Collector of this port
and | don I have to go into any cabin
and wait for the Governor to go ashore.
And the indignant Collector marched
down the gangplank.
Mr.. Stackable headed straight for
the office of United States District At.
torney Breckons and laid the matter
before him. He made formal complaint
against the men and officers of the st.
Louis, charging them with smuggling.
That Is where the matter stood last
night. No warrants had been issued,
but it was understood that they were
to be sworn out and the arrests made.
So it is not improbable that before the
day is over the crew of the st. Louis
and the mess of her officers may present
sadly depleted appearance and that
the missing members may be found un-
der the guard of stern, uniformed of
ficers of the law who have no awe of
other brass buttons and uniforms such
as adorn the sailors and officers of the
navy of the United States.
Naturally, Captain G'eaves would
prefer to handle the matter himself and
try the offenders by court t-martial in
| stead of having them arrested by the
civil officers and tried in the Federal
court on vulgar civilian charge. But
that is as the land authorities say
and there is no indication at present
that they are going to let him have
his way. There is nothing whatever
to prevent the arrest of every man and
officer aboard the st. Louis if anyone
wants to swear out warrants against
| them, for Jack ashore is no better than
any lendlnbber when it comes to the
matter of breaking the laws and stat
utes of the United States of America.
The matter is left entirely in the
| hands of the United States District At
| torney, and he can exercise his discre.
| tion in the course to be pursued. But
unless some kind of n compromise is
reached, charges of smuggling will be
preferred.
Collector Stackable believes that he
has recovered nearly all the tapa that
was brought ashore. He has great
heaps of it stacked up in the Custom
House. And it is said that there are
! still bigger heaps aboard the cruiser

Mr.. Super told the directors of the
various association buildings he had
visited, and said that in nearly all of
them he found that one of the most
attractive features of each was the
central social lobby, which in some
degree takes the place of the old-style
lecture room, as the lobby, whenever
occasion requires, can be converted in
to a lecture or music hall. This lobby
opens into a small cafe where light
refreshments may be served. 1t also
opens upon game rooms, billiard and
pool rooms, correspondence rooms, Ii
brary and reading rooms. Billiards and
pool, in this modern day, are looked
upon in association circles as of much
importance. They are regarded as
legitimate amusements and worthy of
being installed in all association build.
ings. Bowling alleys and q shooting
gallery are also under consideration
for Honolulu's building.
The second story will provide rooms
for the juniors of the association and
for educational work. One whole floor
is proposed for dormitories.

USE JOINTED POLES
To RUN THE WR ES

Superintendent Hummell of the tele.
phone company who is putting in the
conduits on Merchant street, states that
when the time comes to put the wires
underground, they will be run through
with jointed poles. Each pole is about
six feet long. They are to be pushed
into the conduits and jointed together
until they form one long pole about a
hundred feet in length. The wire is
attached to the last one and as the
poles arrive at the other end they are
uniointed.
Ferrets were given trial in Indian
apolis several years ago but proved un
successful in wire running.
The company has only limited sup
ply of conduit material on hand and
all this will be put into Merchant
street so that the work Of reconstruc
tion Of that thoroughfare may be TAX
en- up by the county without interrup
tion. The wirerunning poles and othel
conduit material is on the way from
the mainland.

he wore dark clothes, the trousers being
caught around the ankles, possibly with
bicycle guards. Mrs. Belts failed TO
see who was bending over her as the
mans face happened to be in a shadow
at the time.
Before the women could do anything
practical, the stranger had dashed out
of the back door and escaped They
found that the entrance had been gain
ed by the removal of the small wood
fastenings over the screen wire. Police
officers watched around the premises
for two nights, but even with this
patrol the same fellow, possibly, visit
ed the Clark place nearby the follow
ing night but was scared away.
Nothing was stolen from the Belts
house, owing probably to the fact that
the intruder was scared so soon. Miss
Mccarthy had quite a sum of money
with her that night and possibly the
marander, who may have seen her look
ing it over, thought she had put it
under her pillow, and then getting the
rooms mixed up, awakened Mrs. Belts
by his bungling.

CONVICTED FELONS
MAY Be WITNESSES

Persons convicted of felonies may
testify in the United States District
Court. This is the decision of Judge
Woodruff, rendered Tuesday morning
on the objection made by Attorney G.
c. Biting to allowing Chise, the Japa
nese woman convict to testify for the
prosecution in the case of Morimoto,
charged with having tried to in
timidate the woman.
The case was argued all the previous
afternoon by Mr.. Biting and Deputy
United States District Attorney Raw.
Inns. Each side quoted authorities and
made several good points, but the
judge, after thinking it over, decided
the Mr.. Bitting's objection was not
well taken and overruled him, The
trial Of Morimoto then proceeded. Mr..
Biting, however, says he has other
good cards in bis hand and is confident
yet that be will win the ease.

as in opposition to the bill and the amendment was called the ablest and most eloquent delivered on that meas ure in the Legislature. Senator Thomas, previous to the beginning of inc extra session. had signified his in- tention of running for Lieutenant Governor, but before the Legislature met. he withdrew his name from all consideration in that connection in order that he might be free to make the fight of his legislative career against the extreme and drastic leg islative program outlined for the ex- tra session.
 His able speech against the amend ment bill had powerful effect in shaping the campaign which defeated the amendment. but at the time it was delivered, it was regarded as being "a magnificent case of political sui- eide" as one man expressed 1t, who heard it. At that time it was regard ed as certain by all well informed pol ittcians that the amendment would carry by an overwhelming majority. but senator Thomas and his associates fought 1t as e matter of principle, be- Iieylng at the time that the fight would be hopeless.
 Before the Legislature adjourned. Senator Thomas was taking an active part in the light before the people to defeat the amendment. He was help ing to organize the Montgomery Con- ference and to inform the people of the danger of the amendment. In tho campaign he spent the larger part of his time on the stump speak ing against the amendment.
 Senator Thomas is regarded as an eloquent speaker, an able and cour- ageous legislator. as well as sound and conservative public man. who Is not afraid to defend his convictions under any circumstances.
