Francisco, to the Supreme Court of
the United States undoubtedly will
be taken, by the attorneys represent.
ing C. A. Brown in the famous John

Attorney J. Alfred Magoon, Browns

rived, he is expecting a cable hourly,
instructing him to begin preparation
for the appeal to the highest tri-
bunal, the final court Of resort. This,
he said, was the original intention be-
fore the appeal was taken from Judge
Doles ruling, and it amounted to a
mutual understanding between the
parties at issue that no matter how
the Circuit Court of Appeals hell, the
losing side should continue the case,
carrying it up to the Supreme Court.
Whether C. A. Brown has been

Under date of September 80, 1912

Asked regarding the transactions,
Richard Ivers, secretary of Brewers.
said this morning that the corpora.

THE provision of the Organic Act,
prohibiting a corporation from hold.

nothing whatever to do with these
transactions" said Mr.. Iyers. "All
three Of the deeds cover only a little
more than, 500 acres. r. .-.....-.
Besides, there is nothing in the
Organic Act to prevent one corpora,

other. The author of that provision

Mr. Fisher, and they contain some cane

Whether dredging operations at Hi
10 should be postponed sixty days to
permit an early completion of similar
work in the Alakea street slip and
Fort street slip in Honolulu was the
subject of earnest debate at the meet
ing of the board of harbor commits
sioners this afternoon, resulting in a
decision giving the work to the Ha-
waiian Dredging company.
The Hawaiian Dredging company,
whose tender offers to do the Homo
lulu work for an aggregate sum of
$6S, S,946, proves quite acceptable to the
harbor commission, but the clause in
serted in the tender, stating that the
local jobs will be completed by April
Is. did not meet with approval. The
board wants both pieces of work COM
pleted at the earliest possible mo-

Of his intention to introduce an ordi.

passed the ordinance will prohibit any

The ordinance is introduced, it is

the overcrowding OF Fort street, and
inasmuch as the merchants are all
treated alike, It is not believed that
there will be any complaint from
them.
At meeting last night, the Board

FLEET MAY
RETURN TO
CITY
Order to Store Coal at Naval
Dock Causes Officers to
Give Opinions

That the Pacific fleet may pay Ho
nolulu another visit this winter oil
early spring is the rumor going the
rounds in naval circles here. There
has been no official word to this eff.
feet, but recent information from the
Navy department regarding the coal
supply here leads to the belief that the
cruisers may come again for a pro-
tracted stay.
IL would not be surprised to see
the fleet here again soon," said Rear
Admiral Cowles this morning. INC
order has been received, but we have
word that We are to get 1000 tons of
coal per month, beginning next Febru-
airy. 1t is hoped that the coal-stor.
age plant at Pearl Harbor will be in
operation by the end Of pext June. but
until that time It will have to be stor-
ed around the front here, which
looks as though there might be more
or less immediate call for fuel. We
have no word az to how long the
monthly shipments are to continue,
although, suppose the idea is to
bring the supply up to 100000 tons
again
AT the present time Paymaster Stew
ene has on hand about 10000 tons o.
coal, and several OF the yards In ths
vicinity OF the naval station, where
coal has been stored In large lots,
have been cleaned out. Storage facili-
ties in Honolulu are poor, and oincers
OF the local station looked forward to
setting the supply well down, and not
having Il feplanished until the new
storage plant at Pearl Harbor was
completed.
AS these conditions ale we'll under,
stood In washington, II was with some
surprise that notice was received re
Gently OF the 1000 tons per month
shipments to be expected next year.
Putting two and two together, which
is a favorite occupation in the service
in the absence OF authentic informa.
tion, naval officers think that the Pa
ciic feet may be coming to Honolulu
again, and that the Navy Department
irtends to have plenty of coal on hand
for all ordinary and extraordinary con-
tingencies.

TAFT HllFllle
SESSION FOR
TARIFF LAWS
Recent Utterances of President
Indicate Extraordinary Con-
gfess Meeting
sY c. s. ALBERT.
Especial Star Bulletin Correspondence

Especial Star-Bulletin Correspondence
WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. q. -
The pail of an extraordinary session
of Congress next spring for tariff re-
vision has been thrown over business
Interests by the recent utteranees of
President Taft. His broad hints in
that direction indicate that Congress
will be, convened Immediately after
the regular short session of this win
ter, no matter who Is chosen presi-
dent.
1t was taken as a matter of course
that in the event of Mr.. Wilson's sue
cess there would be the extraordinary
session. However, it was expected
that if Mr.. Taft were retained as chief
executive the Republicans would leave
we'll enough alone and permit COM
mercial enterprises to have approx
mately years rest from rumors of
ruinous reductions in protective du-
ties.
President Taft has promised a revi-
sion of the tariff if the Republicans
succeed in the November elections.
The reason assigned is that duties
should be adjusted on scientific
basis to prevent prices for the neces-
saries of life from becoming too ex-
orbitant. He hinted that the work of
the tariff board would be resumed
and all notifications of schedules
based on the conclusions of that body.
At the same time the president de-
clared that the Payne-Aldrich tariff
act had nothing more to do with the
