NAVY OFFICERS
ARE NOT POLITE
Lake Carriers President Does
Not Want Anyin Lighthouse
Service Work.
By Ernest @. walker.

mail Special 20 The Advertiser)
WASHINGTON, February 15-The
administration of some sixteen light,
house districts along the coasts of the
United States and Of its numerous is.
lands has become a matter of serious
consideration at the senate. The ser.
vices of army and navy officers on
Lighthouse boards are under scrutiny.
There is an effort to eliminate officers
of one or both branches entirely, which
the officers are naturally resisting.
Secretary Nagel, of CONNIE. ce and
labor, made official complaint some
months ago of present conditions. The
Lighthouse board" is under the
jurisdiction Of his department, but its
members are, with an exception or two,
army and navy officers and are guided
more by the officials of their respective
departments, it is claimed, than by the
department of commerce and labor.
The house of representatives, some
weeks ago, enacted a bill putting civil.
ians entirely in charge of the admin.
istration of the lighthouse service. 1t
created civilian commissioner of
lighthouses at $4,000 year, a chief
constructing engineer at $4,000, and a
superintendent of naval construction at
$4,000. There were detailed provisions,
hedging about the purchases of sup.
plies, the placing of buoys, beacons and
other aids to navigation, and eventual.
ly eliminating army and navy officers
as lighthouse inspectors.
Navy Men Not Polite.
The controversy is now raging before
the committee on commerce of which
Senator Frye, of Maine, is chairman.
There seems to he a disposition among
senator's of that committee to retain
army officers in the lighthouse service
as engineers, but some senators would
exclude navy officers. Rear-Admiral
Adolph Mark, chairman of the present
lighthouse board, stoutly resisted that
at recent hearing. He holds that the
Navy, quite as much as the merchant
marine, is interested in the lighthouse
service and that it is entirely appro-
pirate naval officers should be detailed
as inspectors. 20
President William Livingstone, of
the Lake Carriers Association, is one
of those who have been voicing opposi.
tion to the service of naval officers as
lighthouse inspectors. He claims that
they are not as courteous or as salts.
factory to the merchant marine inter
ests as army officers are, and that theil
services could well be dispensed with
Senators William Alden Smith, Of
Michigan; Elkins of West Virginia
Burton, of Ohio, and Simmons, OF
North Carolina, are subcommittee
now trying to work out some modifica
tions to the house bill. Whether army
and navy officers are continued in the
lighthouse service or not, it is prac
tically certain that important changes
will be made in the administrator o.
the general lighthouse board at Wash
ington and in the management of tn,
service in the numerous districts.

"The stores in the city are deserted,
and the people ON the streets are very
quiet. Their one thought is of the river,
and dread lies in their hearts which
they do not mention. The only ANNA

capital is on the banks of the Seine
where brave soldiers are working
frantically to raise the parapet in or

the flooded districts look very desolate
as the inmates were moved to places of

appearance in the streets. Soldiers
stand guard at the corners, and others

if anyone has been forgotten. The
tunnels of the underground railway are
full of water which has got to the mid

foundations of some important build

BRECKONS HOT
ON THE SCENT
Trail Of the Opium SmuggIers
Is Getting Warm-Many
Arrests Made.

The scent on the trail of the opium
smugglers is getting warm and United
States District Attorney Breckons be-
lieves that he is getting pretty close
to the head Of the illegal business
Hardly a day passes without him bag
ging one or more Chinese who have
the dope illegally in their possession,
and in almost every case it is demon
strated that the opium they have is
substituted opium, that is, opium that,
having been smuggled in since the
antiopium importation act went into
effect, has been refilled into old stamped
tins which have previously been used
Yesterday Mr.. Breckons made an
arrest and find that completely
proved his theory that opium is being
smuggled into the Territory and placed
in once-used tins. He arrested a Chi
nese who, after close questioning, ad-
mitted that the opium he had in stamp
ed tins had been taken from unstamped
tins. He consented to show where the
unstamped tins had been thrown, and
after some time spent in grubbing
ons found the old empty containers.
The Federal authorities now have a
choice collection of Chinese in Jail,
charged with smuggling and with hav-
ing opium Illegally in their possession.
The price of opium has gone up at
rapid rate, dope that formerly
brought SO tin being now worth no
less than $50. The profits, therefore,
are large and sufficient to tempt even
more impecunious individuals than
the common pake.

REVENUE OFFICE
BADLY RUSHED
Many Corporations Waited Until
Eleventh Hour to Make
Returns.

The usually quiet and peaceful Office
Of Walter f. Drake, collector of in
ternal revenue, was yesterday the busi-
est Office in the city of Honolulu. Many
of the corporations which had waited
until the eleventh hour before making
their returns for the corporation in
come tax rushed in with the returns
to avoid becoming liable to the heavy
penalty attached to failure to make
them.
Most of the Oahu corporations have
filed their returns and those that have
not have until four clock this after
noon to do SO. But some of the cor
porations of the other islands are left
out in the cold and are liable to a fine
of from $1,000 to $4,000 each. For,
except for the steamer from Kauai to-
day, there is no mail from any of the
outside islands and the corporations of
Maui and Hawaii that are delinquent
must remain so.

a speed of twenty-five miles an hour
and also take on high speed the Sum
NIT avenue and Auchincloss hills, the

self into the arms of the Kinderman
family as their long lost son, and ac-
cepted the position of city dog catcher.
with the assistance of a corps of comic
newspaper writer's he kept the town in
Mysteries for months. And then one

shaken the dust of San Bernardino
from his boots, in walked the real Jake

gered down Third street. on his ar
rival last evening, to be recognized
by several hundred people. In his hand
was a railroad lantern and some wit
hailed him as "Diogenes in search of
an honest dog" He says he has made
a fortune in sheep since leaving here,

Gets $4,000 IN COIN
FROM CONCEALED GRAVE
ASbury Hammond's Sandy Farm
Makes Him Suddenly a
3 Near-PIutoCrat

LAUREL. Del, July 15.-Asbury
Hammond has dug $4,000 in gold and
silver coin out of grave on his farm
in the last week, and all his neighbors
are busy plowing over their own fields
in hope of a similar windfall The To-
cal bank has taken the money and
given Hammond full credit for it, so
that there can be no question of the
value of the find Hammond was a
scrub farmer whose land barely sup
ported him.
This sudden access of fortune came
when his plow point struck a brick
vault in sandy hill. He got a pick
and opened the vault. AS soon as he
recovered from the horror of seeing
skeleton there he went inside. y
bag of coin lay at the skeletons head
and another at the feet. One of them
contained Spanish and American gold
and silver worth $4,000, and similar
contents in the other were worth $15,-
900. The coin looked new. although the
latest date on any of 1t was 1921.
Hammond at first took only one bag
to the bank. When he appeared with
the second the news of his luck had
spread and all his friends wanted to
hear about it. Since then hundreds of
people have gone out to his farm TO
look at the grave.
