STATISTICS Of
THE EMIGRANTS

The Department of immigration,
Labor and Statistics is busy working
on the compilation of records cover
ing the disposal Of the immigrants
who arrived by the S. s. Orteric a
few weeks ago.
Their places o. birth are also be-
ing recorded, together with the ages
of the children who arrived, a list
of the latter to be supplied to the
Superintendent of Public Instruction.
All these things are required by
Senate Bill No. 1913, and even Secre-
tary Kearns, who loves the statistics
like a brother and to whom a column
of figures is thing of beauty and
an abiding joy, wears a worried look
on his Apollonian countenance these
days.

OBJECTS TO SITE AGITATION AND
TO HIS NAME ON PETITION

Editor Star: The business men
about town are greatly exercised
over the reopening of the much
debated and many times defeated
Irwin site for the proposed Federal
building. If the civic center idea is
the only object the artistically in
clined citizens have in mind, l would
suggest we reserve the Irwin site for
our future city hall.
Honolulu will be great and rich
city after the opening of the Panama
Canal, and it would be in keeping
with the dignity and standing of the
port of Honolulu to erect on the ia
nous Irwin site a magnificent city
hall in which all the numerous city
officials, supervisors, mayor, etc, etc,
could be comfortably located instead
as now, renting offices in various
buildings all over town. This would
be a solution of the difficulty and
ought to satisfy the civic center
idea. Most practical business men
favor the centrally located Mahuka
site, and in order to speed the work
along subscribed nearly $4,000 70
open Bishop street from King to
Merchant street.
1t would certainly be an outrage
and a disregard of the wishes of the
business men to locate the postoffice
on the far-off Irwin site. The post
office in Honolulu is a vastly differ

The Standard Oil and the Tobacco
cases put the Sherman antitrust law
to the most crucial test in which it
has been subjected during the twenty
years of it's existence. The corpora
ton tax cases place on trial the power
of the federal government over COR
porations. The contention has been
made that if the Standard Oil and
the Tobacco organizations are dis
solved the government will be forced
to license corporations in order to
allow legitimate business to be car
ried on. The corporation tax de-
Cision may define the power Of the
federal government over corporations
so as to guide this proposed subse-
quent legislation. Incidentally, about
$25,000,000 annually in taxes depend
upon the decision.
Although the Tobacco case was
argued first, the Standard Oil suit has
attracted more attention. Attorney
General Wickersham has referred to
the Standard Oil case as probably the
most important that ever came before
the court
The Tobacco Case.
The Tobacco case was instituted in
1907 in the Circuit Court of the Uni
ted States of the Southern District
of New York. The government here,
too, was the complaining party.

sets of more than $400,00O,000, consti-
tuted tho organization which the
government sought to have the court
dissolve.
The four judges each rendered
separate opinions in holding many of
the corporations had entered into a
combination "in restraint of trade"
in violation of the first section of the
Sherman antitrust act. These three
decreed the dissolution of this COM

The application of the Sherman

principal uncertainties in regard to

lulu, but it was not of the red rat
tie variety, as described by the
Onlooker in Saturdays Star. From all
accounts it was just an ordinary lit
tie snake, but it would seem to have
been of the elastic variety, for
everyone who saw it puts a different
length on it. No one, however, could
be obtained who would describe it at
all, and no one seemed to know what
species it was.
It was first discovered by a hard
working Portuguese boy, who had no
reason to distrust the evidence Of his
eyes. He knew Immediately that II
was a snake, Notwithstanding that It
was devoid of colored ribbons and
just wriggled along without doing
any fancy stunts. Needless to say,
when it was discovered, it caused a
lot of excitement, and inquiries were
instantly made as to where it came
from. It was soon established be-
yond all doubt that it arrived m the
sand ballast ship William P. Frye,
which arrived here some time ago
from San Francisco.

Snyder expressed surprise at his ar
