WASHINGTON d. c., January 25.-
The House Claims Committee has TAX
en- no action up to the present date
upon the bill H. r. 1904 providing for
a payment of $25O,OOO to Liliuokalani,
Queen of the Kingdom of Hawaii, in
satisfaction of her claims against the
United States.
In the hearings before the Claims
Committee on this bill, Delegate Ka-
lanianaole made a comprehensive
statement giving the historical facts
relating to the overthrow of the Ha-
waiian Monarchy and the subsequent
confiscatioh of the property of the
of these lands, he said, today is in the
conservative estimate that the Crown
lands of Hawaii formerly the proper
ty of the Queen are today worth more
than ten millions of dollars. The fee
of there lands, he said today is in the
United States.
Judge F. M. Hatch of Hawaii was
examined at great length by the COM
mittee in reference to the actual oc-
currences of the resolution and as to

Especial Correspondence of The Starr
WASHINGTON, d. c., January 25.-
The House Committee on Appropria-
tions has reported the Notifications
appropriations bill carrying an aggre-
gate of S792O,111, being nearly S1O,-
100000 less than the aggregate esti-
mates for the coming fiscal year, and
being 100000 more than the aggre-
gate appropriations in the fortifica-
tions act in 1909.
The bill, as reported by the commit
tee, contains items for Hawaii, as fol-
lows:
For construction of sea coast bat
teries, 1887, 200.
For the installation of light and
power plants, at defenses, S14,469.
For the purchase and installation OF
search lights for the defenses of i'm
portant harbors, $66,OOO.
The bill ratifes and legalizes the
action of the Secretary of War in
heretofore mounting eight twelve-inch
mortars from the stock on hand for
use in Continental United States, at
Diamond Head in the Hawaiian ISL
ands.
The Secretary of War is further au-
thorized to transfer to "insular pos
sessions for reserve purposes one
ten-inch gun and two six-inch guns,
out of the stock now on hand in the
United States.

EDITOR HAWAIIAN STAR - In
the land law bill drafted by Gov
ernor Frear, the clause giving to the
Governor the final decision in all dis
puted questions as to homestead resi-
dence is copied from the United
States land laws which give final Ju-
risdiction of such questions to the
Secretary of the Interior without any
appeal to the courts.
1t is interesting to observe that the
Democrats who have always advocated
the American land laws for Hawaii
have been the first to object when
one of those principles is proposed TO-
Hawaii.

come back for several days. It might be men
toned in this connection that the divorce colony
has brought to Reno over 100 motor cars.
The leading hotels are always crowded, and
the rents for cottages have. appreciated, the
average, to the extent of so per cent. in the last
six months. In some instances the increase has
been much greater One cottage that rented for
$50 month in January last, now returns its own
er rental Of 800 a month.
Perhaps the one thing that endears Reno to
the visiting divorce more than anything else is
its proximity to San Francisco. One may board a
train in Reno and be in the Pacific coast metrop-
oils In ten hours. Despite It's manifold attrac-
TONS, life in Reno is likely to wear irksome upon
those who have been used to existence in larger
centers, and the visitors, to great extent soon
er or later during their stay, take a trip or half
a dozen trips, over the Sierras to the city by the
Golden Gate.
Such visits, while affording relief from the
monotony of life in Reno do not Impair the resi-
dence qualifications necessary to the obtaining
of q divorce. To again quote the Nevada divorce
authority already mentioned:
e "Under the provisions of Section % of the
Marriage and Divorce act, the plaintiff must re-
side In the state for period of at least six
months. This Is not construed to mean that in
order to fully comply with the statute the party
must remain here continuously for said period.
So If party comes to Nevada, and In good faith,
takes up a residence, the party may. leave the
state at any time after establishing residence,
may 30 ana traVet When and Wherever the party
chooses and may return to the state whenever In
clination prompts. and yet such temporary alb
sence would not in any wise affect the legality of
the residence established. but the party would be
entitled under the law to Bring suit any time
after the lapse of six months from the date resi-
dence was originally established, Notwithstanding
the party's absence from the state during said
period" s5f,s
AZ Biased somewhat ~ the financial seductions
OF the situation. and yet to learn the lesson that
such state 81 affairs can only result In the NOR
al degradation Of the youth of the community
lesson which caused South Dakota to reform her
divorce laws--Reno appears to be perfectly con-
tented with things as they are. ~ M iss5s
4 But Benp is busily engaged In cleaning house,
and is felt by the most reflective observers that
the divorce laws Of Nevada as now written Will
be thing Of the past IN the near future. Not In
