MARATHON|NG.NO7
REMUNERAT|vE

Edward Gregson Nigel Jackson,
Marathon runner by profession, was
divorced yesterday by his wife Carrie
Jackson, who told the judge that Mara
thon running was not remunerative
enough to provide her with a living.
Jackson did not contest the case,
but he made few statements about
the halls of the court house day
or two before that suggested to the
judge that perhaps collision were con-
templated. jackson, it is said, stated
that he was allowing his wife to get
a divorce in order that she might mar
ry better man. When this came to
the ears of Judge Robinson, he sent
for Deputy Attorney General Lorrin
Andrews to come over and represent
the Territory in the case to see that
nothing was done in contravention of
the laws and statutes. The Deputy,
however, concluded that Nigel's state
ments were only hot air, and he did not
oppose the granting of the divorce.
John Mahoe Hopii was granted a
divorced from Annie Hopii on the
ground of marital intidelity. The other
man named in the case is Henry of
Kakaako.

TELEPHONE'L|NES
WELL UNDER WAY
(From Wednesdays Advertiser.)

(From Wednesdays Advertiser.)
Ohia wood from the lumber plant
of the Hawaiian Development com.
pany, has been selected as the finish.
ing material for the interior of the
new telephone exchange on Garden
Lane. The contract was made yes
terday with the Hawaiian Develop
ment company, and the plans are in
the hands of George R. Carter for final
approval. Bids for the construction of
the building will be called for in a
short time.
The contract for the installation of
the automatic service is on the way
from the mainland, according to a let
ter recently received from Mr.. Plat,
the automatic company representative
who was in Honolulu a few weeks ago
looking over the telephone situation.
The telephones will be made as soon
as the contract is returned, and by the
end of the year, unless something I'M
forseen happens, the new system will
be well under construction.
A large number of new poles, recent
ly received from the land for use in
the outlying sections of town to re-
place old and unsightly ones, are be-
ing dipped in a special solution pre-
pared by Manager Hummell. They are
dipped in creosote and small portion
of distillate. To ten gallons of this
mixture is added pound of lead arse
nate. This solution is guaranteed to
kill any insects which may be in the
poles, or any that attempt to bore in.
The poles are then dipped in a green
coloring.
George R. Carter is quoted as say
ing that the street.hole" ordinance
which the supervisors are passing may
compel the telephone company to can
eel the big contract with the automa-
tic people and continue its present
system indefinitely.

DIE WACHT AM
RHE|N WENT NOT

Dutch is not always German. or vice
versa, as several persons who made the
mistake of taking the Dutch or Meth
erlands cruiser Noordbrabant for
German ship have discovered. When
the vessel came up from the south the
other day, and saluted the American
warships, it is said that the cruiser
bandmaster, when told a Dutch ship
was coming in, startled the officers by
playing the German national air. That
CONSERVATION reigned and that the
bandmaster had bad half hour with
the executive officer, is also reported.
The Dutch flag proudly floats above
the Campbell block on Fort street and
can be seen from all over the business
part of the town. 1t is pretty flag
of blue, white and robust three
broad stripes, the colors being arrang-
ed in reverse to those of France. Hoch-
wohlgeboren Herr Heinrich Won Holt,
Consul for the Netherlands, has had
that fig lying in his locker for years,
and this is one of the first opportuni-
ties he has had to display it on such
ago Dutch friend passed through here
anu Oh lHdL uccdSlOH MI NOu Iloib
had no flag, and he appealed to his
friend to send him flag. One, made
in Japan, was duly sent to him, and
now it is the real thing.
The Netherlands sailors wear old uni
forms, the hat looking like an invert-
ed bowl, and they are easily distin-
guished from the American sailors. The
latter have taken kindly interest in
the Hollandese and never lose an OPP
portunity to treat them. Although
they cannot talk to each other, their
gestures make up for the lack of a
common language. American sailors
will corral bunch of Netherlands sail
ors and escort them about, treat them
to lager, and insist on paying all the
bills The crews of the American and
Netherlands ships get on famously to-
gether.

AMERICANS ARE
HEAVY BORROWERS

NEW YORK.-One of the features in
our financial situation which is so un-
usual as to be almost unique, and
which involves several hundred mil
lion dollars, is the large borrowing by
American bankers in London, and to
some extent in Paris, while at the
same time money has been so plentiful
in the United States as to make it i'm
possible to lend it upon much bet
ter basis than at the rate of 2 per
cent. Every one who is of experience
in American money markets agrees
that money is so plentiful that it is
redundant.
And yet New York bankers have
been dlscounting their notes in the
European markets in enormous amounts.
No longer do there come hints from
London to this effect namely "We
wonder if New York is not asking for
too large line of discounts" London
is only too anxious, as is also Paris, to
lend money by discounting notes, or
finance bills, as they are called, t.
American bankers whose credit is of
the highest character.
The best information justifies the
statement that American bankers have
of which is not far from $30O,OOO,00O.
Why should American bankers be
discounting such an enormous line as
these figures suggest That is ques-
ton which has puzzled many persons,
not only in our own financial center
hut also in Europe.
The reason for this almost unprece-
denied borrowing, and certainly unique
borrowing at time of money plenti-
! fulness, has become known. For it is
now definitely learned that before the
hard frOsts come many of the Ameri-
can railways will be in the market
seeking very large loans based chiefly
upon long time bonds. In fact, it is
nov known that railway propositions
which are at present either under con-
sderation by bankers, or which have
already been accepted, involve the I'M
derwriting or buying of long time rail
road securities this fall, the aggregate
of which is not far from $30O,000,0O.
So it is seen that the prediction made
by james j. Hill, or at least the plea
advanced by him, in which he assert
ed that the railways would need i'm
mediately many hundred millions OF
dollars, has been received in good
faith. If American railways are this
fall to secure some $500, 100000, part
of it, no doubt, for refunding, but much
the greater part of it to 90 into i'm
provements, then if prosperity con
tinues, it is fair to presume that these
railways will in the course of the mex
two or three years have secured "a
much as one thousand millions of new
capital, perhaps more.
Now it is to provide the funds ant
also to take care of the great domestic
movements that are to follow the in
crease of prosperity which have LEI
American bankers to take advantage
of the plentifulness of money in Eu
ropean markets.

DRYDOCK SITE
NOW BEING
BLASTED

Blasting work is being pressed in the
outer portion of the proposed drydock
at Pearl Harbor and in week or so
dredger will be placed opposite the
entrance and the excavation will be
pressed vigorously. Three feet of the
drydock will extend into the harbor
and therefore all this work will be
done by dredgers, and depth of fifty
feet must be attained throughout. The
Dillingham; company, which has the
subcontract for the drydock excava-
tion, will work as rapidly as possible
with the excavating.
OF the 100000 cubic yards of ma
terial to be dredged out in the chan
mel, the Hawaiian Dredging company
has completed all but 10000 yards,
and of the 100000 cubic yards on the
bar or entrance to the channel, 100000
yards have yet to be removed. The
contract requires that for every yard
removed from off the bar, two must be
removed in the channel section. For
this 100000 cubic yards in channel
and on the bar, Congress appropriated
$1,OO0,000. This work comprises only
section of the whole contract, which
totals about $3,5OO,OO0. The present
dredging in the channel is to straigh-
ten it out for navigation purposes, and
the biggest jobs of all will come in
future sections, particularly at Waipio
point.
The big clam shell dredger barge
California, which was launched several
weeks ago, is almost rugged, lacking
only her boom and smokestack. She
may be ready in about ten days and
will then be towed to Pearl Harbor.
The two dump barges were launched a
few days ago. Each has a capacity
of 400 yards each. The launching of
the clam shell barge, the two dump
barges and the oil barge, complete all
! construction work contemplated by the
company.
The sea going dredge South Bay
took out 10000 cubic yards of mate
rial from the bar during the present
month.

INHERITANCE TAX
IS PAID AND OLD
CASE IS SETTLED

A check for $l2,9l1.93 was paid into
the territorial treasury Tuesday in
full settlement of the Galbraith estate
inheritance tax. This is a matter
which has been hanging fire for several
years, and has been up to the Supreme
Court on various phases several times.
The final decision was against the es-
tate, and it has now paid up, thus end
ing the matter. The tax was assessed
under the old inheritance tax law,
Chapter 100, Revised Laws.
The payment of this inheritance tax
makes about $4,000 in inheritance
taxes which has been collected by the
Territory since July l of this year.
Most of the work along this line has
been done by Deputy Attorney General
Sutton, in addition to his arduous work
in collecting back sewer rates, which
latter has Melted about $4,000. The
$4,000 collected the past three months
is $ll 900 more than was collected dur
ing all of the fiscal year ending June
81.

GOVERNOR REPORT
SENT TO WASHINGTON

Governor Frear has finished his an
nual report to the Secretary of the
Interior and it goes forward to Wash.
ington on the Alameda this morning.
The report is very much condensed,
from the original draft, but there is
also an abstract accompanying it, in
conformanee with the request of the
Secretary of the Interior, who wanted
the Governor to abstract the report to
about 800 words. The report represents
much hard labor and contains much
that is of great interest concerning Ha'
WAii.

AGREE
(From Wednesdays Advertiser)

(F'rom Wednesdays Advertiser.)
The riot jury failed to agree and
was discharged at 6:10 o'clock last
evening. The jury was hung by one
man, said to be Joseph l. Whittle, a
painter, who announced that he would
not give in if the jury were kept out
year. He voted throughout for acquittal
and is said to have devoted most of his
time to making disparaging remarks
about the sugar planters. The jurymen
came in and announced that there was
absolutely no possibility of their com.
ing to an agreement, and that further
deliberation would be useless. Judge De
Bolt questioned Foreman Guild and also
several of the other jurymen, including
Jurors Greene and Mott, and they
agreed with the statement of the fore
man, that no good could result from
taking further time. Judge De Bolt,
sizing up the jury, the members of
which looked tired, angry and stub.
born, saw that there was no hope of
an acquittal, so he discharged them.
The Judge also discharged the ten
defendants, the second mstrial mean
ing that the case against them was
pau. Under the laws of this Territory
the failure of two juries to agree in
criminal case means that the de.
PENDANTS must be discharged. 1t is a
kind of a Scotch verdict. The defend.
ants are not acquitted, neither are they
guilty. If guilty, their guilt is not
proven.
Several times after being given the
case, the jury came back for further
instructions. Monday night the men,
bers sent in to ask the Judge if they
could bring in a verdict of unlawful
assembly. The judge informed them
that they could if they chose.
Yesterday morning the jury sent in
| to ask if unlawful assembly were a
minor offense. Attorney Lightfoot al
that time was absent from the court
house. The Judge waited a few min
utes for him and then instructed the
jury in the Affirmative. When Light
foot arrived and learned of what had
been done, he protested, claiming that
the punishment for unlawful assembly
is as heavy as that for riot. The judge
called the jury back and made the cor
rection. He also issued an order thai
hereafter attorneys in case may no
leave the court house while the cour
is in attendance, on pain of fine fo
contempt of court.
These are the jurors: Joseph Whit

OF F|CE d. Is
OCTOBER
FIRST
(From Wednesdays Advertiser,

(From Wednesdays Advertiser.)
The Office of Chief Clerk of the Ter
ritory, vacated through the resignation
of r. o. Matheson, is pau. 1t is to be
entirely abolished, at least for the
present, arrangements having been
made which render it unnecessary to
make a new appointment.
The announcement in the Advertiser
yesterday that V. L. Boeck had been
appointed chief clerk was correct at
the time, but change has been made
since. A wireless was sent to Mr..
Boeck, who had applied for the posi-
ton, offering him the chief clerkship,
but he is not to get it, after all, al.
though he is to be offered place in
the executive chamber.
The new arrangements contemplate
complete reorganization of the Gov
ernor's and Secretary's Offices. Hith-
erto the chief clerk has served both
the Governor and the Secretary. 1t is
now intended that the two offices shall
be entirely separate and that each
shall have its own staff of clerks, mes
sengers and stenographers. In place of
appointing chief clerk, it is probable
that Claudius Mcbride, the Governor 3
private secretary, will have charge of
the staff of the Governor office and
that Henry O'Sullivan, now assistant
chief clerk, will oversee the staff of
the Secretary's office. 1t is possible
that additional assistance may be en-
ployed in one of the offices.
Governor Frear stated yesterday af-
ternoon that the work in Secretary
Mott.Smith S office from now on for
some months at least will be consid--
erably lighter than it has been during
several months past. This is largely
on account of the fact that the regis
traton of certificates of Hawaiian
birth by the Secretary s office, which
has recently constituted a large pro-
portion of the work, will be pau soon.
1t is felt that Henry o Sullivan will
have time hereafter to handle much
of the work done now by Mr.. Mathe-
son, while Mr.. Mcbride, possibly with
some assistance, can take care of the
clerical work of the Governor Of
fee.
Another important change contem-
plated is the removal of Governor
Frear from the Robins Egg Blue
chamber to the room now occupied by
Secretary Mott-Smith, while the lat
ter will move into the makai end of
! the executive apartments. Governor
Frear states that Secretary Mott-Smith
is now obliged to put in so much of
his time at the offices of the Board
of Health that it does not make any
great difference which room he has.
The room he now occupies is cooler
than that occupied by the Governor.
| Mr.. Mott-Smith will probably take for
his private Office the little room in the
makaiEwa corner, using the present
office of the Governor for his clerical
staff. The Governor will possibly use
the central room that now belongs to
the chief clerk for his clerical staff.
The last mentioned changes, how
ever, will probably not be made until
November, during the contemplated
absence of the Governor, who expects
to 60 to Washington some time in Nov
ember.
