MORE MONEY To
PAY EXPENSES
Uncle Sam Sends Some Cash to
Himself to Meet Demands
of Unusual Work.

Do the figures on the expenditure
column Of the federal offices, marshal s
and the United States district attorney,
denote more rushing year or a bust
ness than formerly or more prosper
Gus year2 AS a rule, in all weIl-regu-
lated business offices, both are synony-
nous, but in this instance it is not.
The answer is, that business is rush
ing, but the year is not prosperous.
Yesterday, by the Chiyo Maru, the
marshal's office received $4,000, and an
other $4,000 is on the way. Should
matters continue in the way in which
they are now going, it is probable that
the expenditures for the quarter will
reach $4,000, whereas the former
record is $4,000.
OF course this means that Uncle sam
has stuck his inquisitive nose into more
unlawful matters than usual, and so
the quarter can not be considered as
prosperous, but no one can deny that
there is rushing business going on.
All those jurors and witnesses who
are now creditors of the government
for fees due them for services i'll court
can be paid off if they will call at the
marshal s offices in the Judiciary build
ing. Other back debts have been paid
off, and the department is now up to
date.
Kruger Calls 1t Off.
After endless argument and much
long winded and long drawn-out legal
maneuverIng, the petition to force
payment by the estate of the late
Prince David KaWananakoa has been
called off by the man who brought it.
The petition was filed to collect
judgment debt, and was made by Frank
Kruger against John Colburn, executor
of the estate noted, and was for a com
paratively small sum, alleged to be
the price of some jewelry. A judgment
was secured some time ago against
Colburn, and the latter refused to pay
it until other matters were settled and
other debts which the executor thought
should be given preference should be
paid off.
