rives In Honolulu, August IL, Captain
John p. Spur. U. 8. A. quarterfnaster
or the transport will not be on board.
according to an article appearing In
the San Francisco Call Of August 2.
The article states that Captain Spur
was relieved from duty by wire and
Captain Frank d. Ely detailed 70 take
his place.
Il Is further stated that the sum.
mary orders relating to Captain Spur
are owing to certain indiscretions said
to have been INDUCED IN while in
Honolulu recently, and the article
states that II Is said that the order
was prompted By an officer higher up
to whose daughter while q passenger
on his ship. Captain Spur showed I'M
due attention
The article in the Can is as fol-
lows:
Owing to certain indlscretious said
to have been INDUCED In at Honolulu
recently. Captain. John p Spur. q. 8,
A., quartermaster Of the army trans.
port Sherman. will not sail when that
vessel clears for the island ports next
Friday. Summary orders were recefv.
ed by wire from the war department
yesterday relieving him and detailing
Captain Frank p. ely to take his
place.
SUBJECT Of Comment
The sudden substitution was the
subject Of considerable comment IN
army circles While Il Is not unpre-
cedented to make changes Of this kind
at the eleventh hour, Il Is said the or.
der was prompted by an officer higher
up to whose daughter, while passen-
ger on his ship. Captain Spur showed
undue attention.
Captain Spur. who Is or the coast
artillery corps, has been serving IN
the quartermastef's department for
some time. He ID q bachelor and has
q host friends HIS recall IS Z sur
prise. Only those aware of certain
conviVal festivities at the ships las1
port Of call are able to hazard an op-
inion
No Further Action.
It is not expected any further ac-
ton Will be taken. All the officers
connected with the service here main.
tanned . strict silence. protesting the
order was quite customary. NerertI,e-
less It Is Significant the department
should have considered It Of sufficient
Importance to telegraph Instructions
rather than to resort 10 the malls. and
Captain Ely Wonldtnof have been sent
again to sea except through urgent r'e-
cessity. as he took the Sheridan 10
China last January when the Fifteenth
infantry was ordered 20 the relief Of
the situation occasioned By the rsyoiu-
ton there, and commanded the Bnford
on Its voyage Of rescue to the west
coast Of Mexico

don's visit. to the Orient the Star-Bul-
letin correspondent succeeded In as
certaining in general way what he
hopes and expects to accomplish.
The Customs authorities OF the
Treasury Department believe that for
a long period there have been heavy
undervaluations on merchandise inn
ported from Japan. This applies not
alone to that brought to Honolulu but
to San Francisco, other Pacific coast
ports and New York. II was determ.
ined to begin q raid on this practice
and In addition punish the offenders.
Special Attorney Gordon was sent
on a mission to Japan. His instrue-
tions are to secure ample evidence and
then Immediately institute proceed
ings against all those involved. For
that reason he will appear before the
Federal grand Jury In Honolulu wheh-
ever he can bring the necessary proofs
of undervaluation from Japan. He will
seek to have Indictments brought n
against, such persons in Honolulu as
have scohnived at the underyaluations
from which they have benefited
A similar course will be later fol-
lowed by Mr.. Gordon in San Francisco
and other cities where the underya1u-
ed goods have been brought in.
All the officials here positively re-
fuse to discuss the matter. Mr.. Wick
ersham has repeatedly declared that
advance publication even of Mr.. Cor
don's mission would defeat the entire
purpose Of his journey. No clue Is
obtainable as to the extent Of the un-
deFyaluations or the aggregate loss to
the treasury through the scheme.

FOUND DEAD

Last Seen by Hack Driver.

Last Seen by Hack Driver.
z According to-, Attorney Quinn,
James Brown, hack driver, was
standing in front of the store OF Lew
ers & Cooke on King street at
o'clock this morning when he saw
Howell on q Waikikibennd King
street car. AT the! time, Howell iwas
dressed in black, noticeable fact,
as Howell has never worn anything
but khaki. ia
Fritschi declares that when he dis
covered Howell.s body he made no
investigation but hurried to Attorney
Quinn to whom he related the circum.
stances of the finding. According to
Quinn, Ffitschi says that Howell had
told Fritschf week ago that there
we're times when he was seized with
almost irresistible impulses toward
suicide.
Il ami sure that it was nothing else
but suicide" declared Quinn this
morning. Howell was very eccen-
trio and as he grew older his eccen-
tricities increased and imagine that
it was while in one of these temper
airy fits of insanity that he commit
ted the act which. ended his life."
