New Schools in view.

The sum of $279,O was set aside
by the last legislature for school build
Ings in the Territory, irrespective Of
the amounts paid out by the county for
temporary premises or additions to
existing schoolhouses
Of this amount $4,000 are to be
spent in the building of Kauluwela
schoolhouse. There is an excellent piece
of land ON School street, offered to the
department. II IS well situated, says
Mr. Pope, but the building of the school
will have to wait until the Kaimuki
and Pohukaina schools have been
erected.

Knockers Persistent.

The fact that Honolulu people are
continuously knocking the Volcano to
tourists, which has been denied each
time it has been mentioned, is confirm
ed by Professor Perret, who dolores the
fact that such knocking is often effee-
tive. Last week party of tourists
came to the crater, and was greatly
pleased at what il saw. Its members
expressed regrets that some Of their
friends had missed the sight.
"These visitors toiu me that they
had been told in Honolulu that the lava
had sunk, and that there was nothing
much TO see at the crater" said Pro
fessor Perret 1.-THE consequence had
been that some Of the visitors, who had
originally intended 70 90 10 the Vol
enno, had remained In Honolulu, Now,
~ matter OF faet, while the lava
IL not a. high ~ u WAS, and the lake
not as large, the activity bas been
very considerable and the nights espe'
eially very fine. u aeema TOO bad that
Honolulu people should thus frlghten

They noticed, after many months OF
search. that when they were almost
on the point OF locating their man
in one county, activities broke out IN
an adjoining county. In this way the
moonshiner was able TO elude his
pnrsuers for long time. Finally,
however. >he was brought TO bay. II
wos found that each of his stills had
been enlarged TO capacity OF 300
gallons a day. He was given a term
in prison, but as soon as he was re-
leased he went back 10 his old traits.
Again he was captured and sent TO
prison. He spent a fortune in fight

DODGING THE LAW

By FREDERIC J. HASKIN

gallons OF spirits reported for seizure.
The value Of the moonshiners' prop
erty reported for seizure aggregated
a quarter OF million dollars and the
taxes and penalties reported for as
sessment amounted to approximately
one and half million dollars.
The enforcement OF the Internal
Revenue laws often brings about
queer circumstances. Years ago,
when the late Judge John Paul OF the
western district court Of Virginia,
was a practicing attorney, he acted
as counsel for a moonshiner named
Morris. When Morris was engaging
him, Paul inquired what evidence he
would be able to submit tending TO
disprove the charges against him.
Morris replied that he could bring
sci thought advisable. Years inter
vened, during which time Judge Paul
went to congress and from there to
the federal bench. In the last year or
his service, there came before him a
decrepit old man who had been in
dicted by the federal grand jury for
moonshining. 1t proved to be his
eretwhile client. The old man pro-
missed IL the Judge would be lenient
he would forever after travel the
straight and narrow way. He was CIV
en- a jail sentence for one year, and
1t is understood that the old man has
since lived true to his vow to respect
the federal statutes.
The revenue agent who Is seeking
an Illicit still must look for it under
all guises and forms. Some years
ago there was evidence Of moonshine
whiskey In a certain community and
the best endeavors OF the revenue
agents failed to locate the place ~er
manufacture. At last a certain agent
notice SCOT on the leaves OF the trees
In a certain tract OF woodland, and
observed that IL was heavier on the
north side of the tree than on the
south side. With this slight clue he
began a thorough search and finally
came upon a hollow tree, from knot
hole of which he observed traces OF
smoke. Further investigation show
ed him that there was a cave nearby,
and that the moonshiners had con-
cealed their distillery In 1t, using the
hollow tree as a smokestack. His
investigation led to- the seizure OF an
entire gang and their conviction in
the courts.
In another case a revenue agent
was travelling through the woods and
came across a lone gander. Remem-
bering that the cackling OF geese had
saved Rome, a strange intuition told
him that the travels Of this gander
might save Uncle Sam some revenue.
He spent hours patiently travelling
along I'm the wake of Mr.. Camden,
feeling sure he would go home with
the setting of the sun. His surmise
was true and the fowl finally brought
him to the place where the plant was
located.

on them in the revenue taxes 1t
levies. This state OF mind makes the
average moonshiner a sort OF patriot
In his own eyes, and he Is willing TO
fight for his illicit still az persistent
tly as he would to defend his home
from an invader. ALI OF this tends
to make the work OF the special
agents of the Internal Revenue Blu
reau of the Treasury Department
exacting and dangerous. The stories
of the ingenious methods OF moon
sinners to hide their Illicit trade are
full of destinations, and the manner
In which the revenue agents circum-
vent them is as interesting as any
tale of Sherlock Holmes.
In the old days, whiskey bore no
Internal Revenue tax. A man might
make and sell II as freely as a FARM
er may grow potatoes and marker
them. In western Pennsylvania, fol-
lowing the Revolutionary War, gal
Ion of good liquor was worth exactly
shilling and passed current in the
neighborhood financial operations.
Then the United States government
being in need of funds to meet its
! maturing war obligations, decided to
rlace a tax of from seven to eigh-
| teen cents a gallon, according to quail
| ty. on all whiskey. This led to what
| is known as the Whiskey Insurrec-
ton. and was the first armed resist
ance against the government OF the
United States. Revenue officials
we're tarred and feathered and beat
en- to within an inch OF their lives.
George Washington was president OF
the United States at the time, and he
determined to teach the moonshiners
lesson. He therefore ordered out
Is 900 troops, men who had seen Sc
vice under him, and this show OF
authority ended for all time organik-
ed physical resistance to the revenue
laws. except In the case Of isolated
mountain camps.
| Albert Gallatin, who holds the dis
| tinction OF having been a cabinet of
| ficer longer than any other man in
the history OF the country with the
| execution OF James Wilson, was q
sympathizer with the whiskey insrr-
rectlonists, and when he became sec
rotary OF the treasury his influence
| led TO the abolition OF internal
revenue taxes in 1902. During the
war OF 1912 1t became necessary to
restore this tax, until 1917, when IL
was again repealed. From that date
until 1862, the manufacture of wills
key was as free as the making Of
moiasses.
| In the latter year the government
found itself under the necessity Of
taxing everything possible, from a
street-car ticket and box OF matches
to the coal with which the railroads
and factories were run, in order TO
finance the war. and heavy tax was
placed upon whiskey and tobacco
From that time TO the present day
the moonshiner has fiourished. Al
though the government spends mil
lions of dollars in collecting the In
ternal revenue, and employs expert
operators in ferreting out violators of
the revenue laws, they are now more
numerous than in many years. This
is largely due to the increased de-
mand for "moonshine liquor" brought
about by prohibition in the southern
states. During the past fiscal year
1911 distilleries were seized and de-
stroyed, as compared with 1,743 for
the preceding fiscal year There were
'47o moonshlners arrested and 63.s21

TARIFF BILL INTRODUCED.
Rep. Longworth's Document 10 Idsnti-
cal With lnsuraent Measures.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 6,-The Long
worth tariff commission bill was In
troduced In the house today. II Ia
practically identical with the various
insurgent bills on the same subject,
submitted during the last year. IL
provides an appropriation OF $250,OO0.
President Taft has been using all
his influence to secure an appropria-
ton of $500. 900. and Longworth's bill
may not be a real administration
measure.
Longworth's measure has beel
looked upon by many as representing
the administration views on tariff
commission. and the cutting down OF
the appropriation desired by the pres
ident caused somewhat OF a sensation
when the bill was introduced.
In the draft OF the measure intro
duced today. the sum was originally
set at $350000, but II was marked
out aud the lower figures inserted In
pencil evidently at the last moment.
The bill provides for commission OF
FIVE members at salary OF $1,000 a
year, no more than three to be OF the
same political party.
The Detroit times., 1911-01-06

requires courageous force OF gov
eminent officials TO make a raid
against them. Sometimes a posse Is
able TO take them by surprise. but
IL requires the utmost strategy 10
do SO.
Not all Illicit distilleries are found
in the mountain regions OF the south
ern states. Even In the city OF New
York raids are frequently made upon
moonshine plants that have been i'm
provlsed in dark cellars and out-of-
the-way places. An old tea kettle. a
coil OF copper pipe, and few other
simple contrivances serve TO produce
moonshine liquor In small quantities.
Many registered distilleries violate
the law. The tax per gallon Is so
high and the opportunities for
disposal 30 many that the tempta-
tlon is strong TO secret portion OF
the output But as distillers must
keep an accurate account of all ma
terials used, and the government
knows exactly how much liquor can
be produced with a given quantity OF
material, the registered distiller who
endeavors TO dodge the revenue laws
usually gets into trouble.
