THEIR HONORS
ENJOY RIDE

Mayor Fern now knows Just how
fast a man may travel and yet keep
within the provisions of the traffic or.
dinanee as it now stands. Likewise
Judge Andrade has amassed some tech.
meal knowledge on the subject.
yesterday morning Supervisor Quinn
took Their Honors in his motor car
and started out to give little demon
stration. That there might be no aues-
ton as to the actual speeds travelled,
a speedometer, carefully tested, was
affixed to the car.
First the fifteen mile gait, which is
allowable within the restricted limits,
was demonstrated. All agreed that
the speed was very nice and dignified,
though hardly what one might cali
highly exciting. With great care
Quinn slowed down to the legal ten
miles at all of the crossings, and his
passengers sat back and smiled with
virtuous air.
Then Kalakaua avenue was reached
The spark advanced little, the throt-
tie opened bit, and the delicate engine
sent the car forward with the jump of
mettlesome horse. With one hand
on his throttle, Quinn watched the
speedometer until the dial had revolved
to the twenty -fve-mile mark, then he
kept the speed constant.
Every time that motor car with a
speedily inclined driver whizzed by,
the occupants of the supervisorial ma.
chine looked expectantly at their
driver, but Quinn was out giving
demonstrations of keeping within the
law, not breaking it.
Twenty-Five miles in Quinn IS luxur.
ious machine proved agreeable travel.
ing, and the genial supervisor did not
hear anyone urging him to cut the trip
short and start back to town.
The Mayor still has the traffic ordi.
nance in his possession. He has not
signed it yet, and says that he won't
until the board allows him that motor
ear that his secretary wants.
But His Honor's eye twinkled when
he made that remark, and he will
probably affix his signature to the law
just as soon as he has read it through
and satisfied himself that it
contains no provisions that may make
trouble in the future

THOUSANDS Of
CIGARS IN
UOUBT

Manila cigars aggregating nearly a
quarter of million dollars in value,
are the subject just now of serious
consideration by the local importers
and customs brokers. Under the new
tariff law, customs brokers say, Ma
nila cigars now held here in bond and
those in transit should be admitted to
Honolulu free of duty.
The new tariff admits several million
Manila made cigars into the United
States free, and Hawaii ought to come
in on this proposition. 1t is felt here
that the instant the new tariff bill
passed, the tobacco trust cabled its
Manila agents to gobble up all the
manufactured product possible, and
this, of course, if let in, would put
Hawaii out of the running. But the
local dealers in Manila cigars have had
large orders placed with manufacturers
and considerable quantity is on the
way.
Cable inquiry to the Secretary of
the Treasury is understood to have
been sent from here to obtain ruling
as to whether the bonded and transit
stocks may be regarded as duty free.

EXCHANGE SEATS
NOW COME HIGH

The next seat sold on the Honolulu
Stock & Bond Exchange will cost the
purchaser at least $500. At the an
nual meeting of the members, held yes
terday, it was voted to dispose of one
seat at auction, the upset price to be
$500. This is equivalent to $1,000 on
the former basis, for the reason that
the cancellation Of the insurance fund
netted each member $500.
The last seat sold on the Change
was that belonging to F. NJ. Lewis
which went to Alfred Cooper for $3500,
after Lewis had collected his share of
the insurance fund.
The chief item of business at the
meeting was the election of officers to
serve during the coming year. In ac-
cordance with established custom, Vice
President Zeno X Myers was elected
president, Secretary William William
son was elected vice president, and
Albert Along was elected secretary.
The First National Bank was named
as treasurer for the year.
The committee on membership that
will serve through the coming year is
composed of the following members of
the Change: R. R. Reidford, chair
man; John Fleming and Harry Armi-
tage.
The Investigation Committee con-
sists of William Williamson, chairman;
Robert Bond and Alfred Cooper.
Robert W. Shingle, the retiring pres
ident, submitted a very complete re-
port on the business transacted through
the past year. His figures show that
sugar stocks have been particularly ae-
tive. the total of sales being more than
two and a half times that of the year
preceding.

COTTON SAMPLES
FOR MAIN LAND

In the Manchuria Is mail bags, when
the big liner departs for the mainland,
will be samples of cotton, grown on the
highlands above Waipahu, by the Ku-
mia Development Company. These sam
pies are going to cotton buyers, that
an estimate of their value may be had
from the men who form the final court
of appeal in the cotton market.
The samples that are being shipped
are all Sea Island. This seems to
give deal of promise, and Japanese
are showing much interest in it. The
prophecy is being freely made that the
Mikado s empire will at no very dis
tant date be one of the most profitable
customers of these islands, as far as
cotton is concerned.
Eight different kinds of cotton were
planted on the Kunia company's plan
tation, but the experiment has now
narrowed itself down to few varie-
ties, The Japanese cotton, from which
so much was expected, has done moth
ing. In fact, it has been plowed under.
The Chinese upland cotton also has
turned out something of a failure.
However desirable this cotton may be
in its native land, here is seems to do
no more than the ordinary upland cot
ton of the Southern United States.
The caravonica is not far enough
along to allow of any reliable esti-
mate being formed. This is due to the
fact that caravonica is a tree cotton,
and takes six weeks or two months
longer to mature than does the ordi-
nary variety. Just as soon as it has
matured, samples will be sent to the
big buyers for estimates.

QUINN TAKES UP THE
DE YOUNG SUGGESTION

Supervisor Jim Quinn was so much
impressed with NJ. II. de Young's talk
on the method of building roads in
vogue in California that he dictated a
letter yesterday afternoon to the head
of the California Cement Company,
whose product is not only used in this
roadmaking, but utilized by the United
States government in various coast
works.
''If the government thinks this ce-
ment is o. K.," said the supervisor yes
terday, "why it ought to be good
enough for us, and it costs about half
as much as Portland cement. / have
asked the price on the cement, the wire
screen and everything they use in CON

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
comedies the force of these last de-
cisions, but argues that property within
the jurisdiction of a State is not neces
sarily within the State.
In Nelson V. Russell, 80 Att. 476, the
Supreme Court of New Jersey held that
shares of stock in New Jersey corpo
ration which were owned by u nonresi.
dent at the time of his death were
property in New Jersey and subject to
the inheritance tax statute of that
State. That judgment was reversed by
the Court of Errors and Appeals of New
Jersey in II Att, 2S6, 10 l.. h. A. On.
81 SS7, on the theory that all that the
New Jersey statute attempted to tax
as to nonresidents was in cases of in.
heritance, distribution, bequest, and de.
wise, which words were held TO be APP.
plicable to the general succession TO
the whole estate and not to the particu.
lar succession of portion of the estate,
which in that case was the stock of a
New Jersey corporation. The upper
court assumed, without discussing, that
the stock of the New Jersey corporation
was property in New Jersey.
A further reference TO the cases is
unnecessary in view of the fact that we
are satisfied that our act shows that the
shares in question are property within
this Territory and that therefore they
are subject to the provisions of the
statute. Any doubt there might other
wise be in regard to the matter is def
nitely settled when section IL of the
act is considered. BY that section IL is
specifically provided that no corporation
shall "deliver or transfer any securities
deposits or other assets of the estate of
a nonresident deeedent, including the
shares OF the capital stock Of
the corporation with
out retaining a sunicenth amount 10

such shares. Thus II II clear that that

.LUNACy LAW IS
CONSTITUTIONAL

The Lunacy Law enacted by the last
Legislature is not in any of its provi-
sions a violation of the Constitution.
DR.. John Atcherley has properly been
adjudged insane and properly commit
ted to the asylum. Such is the opinion
of the Supreme Court as handed down
yesterday. 1t means that Doctor At.
cherley must remain in the asylum and
that all the efforts of Mrs. Atcherley
and her attorney to obtain the release
of the paranoiac have failed.
The syllabus of the opinion is as
follows:
Appeal and error appeals in insanity
cases.
Since the enactment of Act 149 of
the laws of 1909 no appeal lies to a
Circuit Court from the decision of a
district magistrate adjudging a person
to be insane.
Constitutional law-creation of board
of commissioners of insanity.
The provisions of Act 149 creating a
Board of Commissioners of Insanity
are not in violation of Section 81 of
the Organic Act.
Insane persons-due process of law.
The procedure prescribed by Act 149
relating to the examination and com
initial of persons alleged to be insane
secures to such persons due process of
law within the meaning of the con-
stitutional requirements on the subject.
Constitutional law-validity of Act
149 of 1909.
Assuming that sections 10 and IA
are unconstitutional, the remainder of
the act is not for that reason invalid.
