The Troops
Will Cause
HustIing

Word has been received here that
the camp equipment necessary to
house the First Infantry on its arrival
here will reach Honolulu but a few
days in advance of the troops and
that consequently there will have to
be a vast amount of work performed
in very short time to prepare the
camp for the newcomers. Board floor
ing and water connections are re-
quired for all the tents so that the
question is not merely one of getting
the canvas up.
Officers in charge of the matter
here are making all arrangements to
expedite the work as soon as the
camp equipage arrives.

The Bishop Estate, through its
trustees, has filed with the tax asses
sor notices of appeal from assessments
made on practically all of it's large
amount of propery on Oahu, and pre-
eumably has done the same in connec-
ton with its lands on the other isl
ands, which come in other tax ,ivi-
sions. Practically all of the planta
tions have also filed exceptions to the
returns on their property found oy
the tax board, but with a very few
exceptions all of the small property
owners, both corporate and private,
have swallowed their dose with no
further protest than oral mutterings

TWO MATTERS
OF IMPROVEMENT

Plans in considerable detail, with
estimates of cost of carrying out the
scheme of parking Kalakaua avenue,
have been promised by City and Coun-
ty Engineer Whitehouse to the com
mittee of the Central Improvement
League which is handling this mat.
ter. 1t is expected that the commit.
tee, armed with these figures win
have a comprehensive report to sub
NIT at the next meeting of the organi-
zation, which is to be called shortly.
Another report of good deal of
general interest is that or the lcgisla.
tive committee which has been asked
to go into the 'Manoa Plan" of street
improvement by direct assessment of
the abutting property owners of
portion of the cost OF the work; and
of giving the owners of property di.
rectly benefited, the right to decide
whether or not paving shall be done,
and other details concerning It. This
is a matter which 1t is certain will
be presented in some form to the next
Legislature for passage, and tie i'm
provement league houes to have the
matter pretty thoroughly worked out
before that time.

MCDuffie Captures
A Long Established
Disti|Iery at PunaIuu

Chief of Detectives McDuffie made
a successful raid on an Illicit still, de.
stroyed it, and returned home with
Sagara and Obata, the two Japanese
who were running the outfit and suf.
ficient evidence to convict them.
The raid was made far up Punaluu
Valley under the most trying condi-
tions and McDuffie and his assistants
are to be commended for their good
work.
Punaluu Valley has for years been
the source of the windward side of
the islands okolehao supply and the
federal officials have tried in vain to
put a stop to the nefarious traffic.
The Japanese who operate the
stills in the valley have many good
friends all the way from Kahana to
Kahuku and heretofore it has been
impossible for police or federals to
get accurate word of the location of
the stills which were known to exist
The Start.
At eight o'clock last night McDuffie
and Officers Olsen, Swaden, BEL
mont and Assistant Chief of Detec-
tives Kellett started out for Punaluu
under the guidance of an informer,
who, by the way, was not Japanese.
The trail led up the valley for about
four miles and then branched off into
a gulch where a swollen torrent had
to be made way against. This stream
was so strong that it was with diff

Bishop Estate
Roaring at Its
Assessments

Assessor Chas. T. Wilder has receiv-
ed the protest notices which piled in
at the last hour, but has not tabulated
them and will probably not be in posi-
ton to state just what they amount
to until tomorrow
Bishop Estates Big Kick.
In the matter of the Bishop Estate,
notice of protest, with checks to COW
er court costs, have been filed for
it's lands in each separate district Iii
some of these, the discrepancy be-
tween the values returned by the Es-
tate and those found by the tax board
of appraisers represents doubling Of
the amount returned. In other cases
the assessors value of property six or
seven times what the trustees say it
is worth. In one case the Estate
claims some 1926 acres Of lands, lying
mauka of School street In Honolulu,
to be exempt, on the ground that it is
used for pasturing the cattle of the
Kamehameha Schools The tax office
has assessed this at over 100000 A
portion of this last is the land ad-

that plant was established, the first
being or 10000 cubic feet capacity and
the second $4,000, thus making in all
storage capacity of 100000 cubic
feet.
W. r. Castle, president OF the com
pany stated this morning that the
improvements under way, together
with those authorized. represent an
expenditure of about 100000
That the company IL considering
permanency is indicated by the fact
that all pipes which It is now laying
are given a coating of an asphalt
paint, tnen wrapped with burlap, and
again dipped in the compound, after
which they are laid in the trenches.
A patent tamping machine, operat-
ed by gasoline engine, has also
been ordered. which 1t is claimed will
replace earth in street trenches SO
firmly that there will be absolutely no
settling later and consequently no fu-
tire repairs to street paving.

AN ANNOYANCE BEING ENDED
MRS. PULLMAN STAYS LONGER

Although it had been announced
that Mrs. George M. Pullman and her
party would cut short their visit and
sail for San Francisco in the Sierra
yesterday, Mrs. Pullman changed her
plans and will remain here some
weeks longer, or until she is again
charged with the ownership of the
japanese spaniel now in quarantine,
any connection with which Mrs. Pull
man bitterly denies.
Friends of Mrs. Pullman say that
she was so indignant at the action
of daily newspaper here in charging
her with the ownership of the dog in
question, that she determined to
shorten her visit until assured that
the dog would in future be credited
to its proper owner.
Meanwhile the kioodle in question
is leading an idylic existence. The

NEW RESERVOIR
ON ROCKY HILL

Before long there will be a two-mil-
lion gallon reservoir constructed on
Rocky Hill, near Oahu College. A
survey is being made now on the line
that will convey the water from Ma
noa Valley to the new reservoir. The
water will have to be forced through
the mains to the height of the big
tank.
The trustees of Oahu College have
agreed to give the site for the reser-
voir, and a communication from Wal
ter F. Dillingham; to that effect has
been received by the superintendent
Of public works
AS soon as the survey is completed
the reservoir matter will be taken up
again with the trustees of the col
lege.

GOVERNOR
to- LEAVE
MAY IA

Governor Frear WILL unless s:me
unforeseen event crops up, sail for
the mainland in the China, week
from Tuesday next. The governor an
ncunced this fact this morning, and
he sees no reason why he cannot
catch the China.
From San Francisco the governor
will proceed to Boston, where his fam
lily will be met. After a brief stay
there, he will go to Washington. Lat
er on the governor will proceed to
Chicago, where he will act as dele
gate to the National Republican con
vention.
This morning the governor was
busy with Marston Campbell, Andrew
Adams and the attorney general Loan
fund matters were discussed, and the
estimates of future expenditures were
taken up. This was done in order
to see how things are going and to
see when it will be necessary to have
the new bond issue.
In some instances the money will
not be sufficient to carry out the plans
suggested. In those cases the money
may be switched to other things.
Arrangements are being made for
plans and specifications of different
works so that, after the issue of the
bonds, the work can be gone ahead

Francisco on the afternoon Of the
same day, is not crowded With troops
although carrying q regiment and a
company of coast artillery. The re-
port shows that the Twenty-First In.
fantry on its arrival here will have
but a strength Of 3S7 men. This is
due to the new arrangement creating
a colonial corps in the Philippines.
Under this plan only enlisted men
with but few months to serve are
sent home with their regiments. The
others are transferred to regiments
stationed in the Philippines to bring
them up to full war strength.
Because of this all regiments re.
turning from the philippines in the
future will be but skeleton in form
both as to officers and men, as the
former are needed for the augmented
companies in the islands.

CHIEF M'DUFFIE
WON'T RESIGN

A rumor was flying around town
this morning that Chief of Detectives
McDuffie was going to resign his po-
sition and take federal secret sery-
ice job.
Asked by Star man as to the truth
or otherwise of this report, McDuffie
said that there was not the slightest
foundation for it and that he had no
idea where the rumor originated.

A Hard Trail.
The moon was shining brightly and
this helped little but the winning
of the way to the still was an arduous
task Keawe and klu thickets had to
be brushed through and now and
again forest of whippy guava would
be encountered.
The Arrests.
It was not until 1915 a. m. that the
still was located. In a hut nearby
two Japanese were discovered asleep.
McDufie crawled into the hut, COW
cred the men with his gun and woke
them up. They came to their senses
looking into the barrel of 3S Colts
revolver, and their demeanor was
mighty agreeable.
Two mash tubs were found, three
feet square and four feet deep. The
first tubs of mash had just been run
off, twenty-one gallons of pure ti-root
okolehao resulting.

This stuff was seized by the police
with the exception of one gallon,
which was poured over the hut and
then set fire to.

destroyed. The worm was brought

cided that the commercial bodies
should own their own building and
the land it stood upon, rather than to
consider leasing. The prospect of
getting the Spreckels property seems
to have met with universal approval,
as it is generally believed that the To-
cation would be an ideal one.
In case the lot in question should
be secured, it is proposed that a
building of not less than four stories
would be erected, the ground floor to
furnish space for the Stock Exchange
and for the Hawaii Promotion Com
mittee, and possibly some retail
stores; while the upper floors would
be devoted to the needs of the other
organizations, at the same time pos
sibly furnishing some extra office
space which might serve to help out
the revenue needed to maintain such
