MUST PLUNGE UP
HIS POLL TAX
Inspector Noyes Will Contribute
Two Years. Assessments to
the Territory.

The tax office got it. An Unsuitable
curiosity to find out what "it" is can
be satisfied by asking Fred Noyes, who
is night inspector at the customhouse.
Mr.. Noyes would mournfully inform
you that sit" is his poll tax for tho
past two years. MI. -Soyes didn'
want to pay his poll tax, and neither
did any of his fellow-inspectors, and
Charlie Wilder, who holds open the lid
of the territorial strong box, instituted
suit against him. The suit was de.
cided by Judge Andrade last Friday,
and Wilder, as result, will hear an
extra tinkle or two in that some strong
box.
The federal officials, and particularly
officials of the customhouse, have main
tanned that such tax is unconstitu.
tional when applied to them, as it re.
duces the stipend per annum that they
receive from Uncle Sam. Z. A. Dou.
thitt, who represented Noyes, quoted
as his principal authority the case of
Erie County VS.. Dominis, which was
decided by the United States Supreme
Court in 1S42.
Mr.. Dominis, or, rather, it should be
Captain Dominis, was a skipper of a
revenue cutter in the service of Uncle
Samuel who was assessed under the tax
laws of Erie county, New York. The
doughty skipper raised howl and, on
the same grounds advanced by Noyes,
won his "howl.''
But Judge Andrade upheld the con.
teution of the plaintiff, that this de-
csion, which has become famous, ap-
plies only to income taxes and that a
poll tax is purely personal one and
is perfectly constitutional.
This case has meant much to the in
spectors and other officials at the Gus
tomhouse, and Andrade IS decision was
eagerly awaited. This same interest,
and also the fact that the decision
against Moves is. in application, de-
cision against all of them, will cause
the case to be carried to higher
court. Deputy Acknowledgement SUIT
ton represented the Territory in the
case.

Man Who Unearthed the Sugar
Frauds Will Receive Nearly
a Million.
LOEB APPROVES THE CLAIM
Law Provides That Discoverer
of a SwilldIe Shall Be
Rewarded.
(By Associated Press.)

NEW YORK, December 20. AT
least 100000 will probably accrue to
Deputy Collector of Customs Richard
Parr for his part in unearthing the
gigantic frauds connected with the
weighing of sugar. Collector of tho
Port Loeb yesterday approved Parr o
demand for share of the money which
the government recovered through his
astuteness, and at the most conserya-
tive estimate the amount must be suf-
ficient to make Parr very wealthy
man.
The law provides that in such
cases, the person discovering fraud
shall receive not to exceed fifty per
cent. of the money which the govern
ment RECEIVERS by virtue of the discov-
cry. A restitution of $2,000,000, rep
resenting duties evaded by tampering
with the scales, has been made by the
sugar interests If the demands of
those associated with Parr in running
down the frauds are allowed, the share
of the deputy collector will probably
amount to 100000 or more.
Parr is the man who became con-
WINGED that employees of the American
Sugar Refining Company were manag-
ing to evade duties in some manner,
and instituted the search which dis
closed the fact that the official scales
We're being so tempered with that

TO co FREE
Judge Woodruff Decides That
Prisoner Has Once Been
in Jeopardy.

Moses Koki, the Hawaii postmaster
who was accused of having embezzled
the funds of the postoffice of which he
had charge, and who was once tried on
the charge, without result, goes free.
The shadow of the prison vans is lifted
by an opinion rendered by Judge Wood.
ruff yesterday, who, as his last official
act, decided that Koki s trial and &C.
auittal last summer upon a similar
charge was in law and in fact an
acquittal of this and the five other
indictments for embezzlement now
standing against him. This decision
sets forth a new legal principle con-
corning embezzlement.
Its effect is to decide that although
the prosecution may indict, try, and
convict an alleged embezzler merely
upon suspicious circumstances sufficient
to convince the jury beyond reason
able doubt that he must have embez-
zled some trust funds, nevertheless, if
the prosecution chooses or is obliged to
resort to trial based upon suspicious
circumstances, like shortages, alone, in
stead of upon specific items of embez-
element, one trial covers all shortages
or suspicious circumstances which can
not be clearly shown to be separable
from one another.
Thus, if the government could have
proven thousand specific cases in
which Koki took money order funds
for his own use, there could be thou
sand indictments or counts against him,
but if no one of the specific cases could
be determined or shown he must be
tried once, and upon all of the short.
ages, delays, and other suspicious cir.
cumstances which can be placed before
| the jury.
Judge Woodruff decided that the con
stitutional guaranty against being plac-
| ed more than once in jeopardy for the
same offense does not mean that a man
may be tried second time, for the
| same offense merely because it is be-
lieved the jury reached a wrong verdict
| in the previous trial or because the
prosecution believes it can put up q
better case in second or later trial
The Constitution very wisely provided
against second jeopardy in order that
an accused person might once and fol
all confront the court and the jury and
| thereafter be free from further jeo
pardy for the same offense, no matter
whether the court and jury reach the
| right conclusion or not.
The United States district attorney
saved an exception to the decision an6
can, under the new law for appeals by
the government. take the case to the
Supreme Court if he desires.

Made, in Court.

Judge Woodruff has gone. His brief

when he, accompanied by Mrs. Wood
ruff, sailed on the Korea for the Coast,

the bench and bar that Judge Wood
ruff IS stay in Hawaii had to terminate
so suddenly and after so brief a resi-.

Judge Woodruff replied to the words
Of farewell, and took occasion to re-
mark that he had no idea when he
came here that his stay would be so
short. He said that he was greatly
surprised two weeks ago to receive the
cablegram from New York which caused
him to tender his resignation and make
preparations to leave for the East.
When he came here, he said, it was with
the expectation of remaining indefinite
ly, and he was in way very sorry
to leave so soon. He was sure, he
said, that he would not find his sur.
roundings in New York any more con
genial than he had found them in Ha

dashing high-fyers, and it was not
many years before they found them
selves with a good deal less money than
they once had. They made some bad
investments, on the one hand, and i'll
luck followed them on the other. Rick
ard had to sell his interest in the
Northern to Elliot and Highley, went
to Rawhide, and was burned out there;
went to Pioneer and sunk some money
there; he was in bad. Meyers built
a quarter million dollar palace at
Ocean Park, and put a large amount Of
none in the Hotel Goldfeld, which
tied up a lot of non productive money,
and SO it went.
But the whole crowd got in early at
Ely. They located and bought ground,
and let it lay, conscious that some time
they would have property that would
be in demand. That time has come,
and their early Ely investments have
put Richard and Meyers on their feet
and will add to the already big bank
accounts Of Elliot and Colburn.
1t was in 1906 that the "Goldield

Meyers got hold of the ground now
owned by the Richard Ely and the
Boston Ely, which companies they or

Colburn acquired the ground owned by

control. Richard and Meyer organized
