BIG REVIVAL !,
IN STOCKS
The Three O's Go Freely at Adj
vanceS - Opinions on
Tariff News

In comparison with the former days
of this week, sugar stocks today took
on the aspect of a near boom. The
chief performers were Oahu, Onomea
and olaa, the three O's. all of them
showing advances. Oahu brought
27.50. or three-quarters of point gain
for lots of 90, 25, and 81 shares
Olaa advanced a quarter point to 7.75
with sales of so, so, 20 and % shares
Onomea sold up a quarter point at
So. so for lots of SO and four los. Pior.
eer shows no change in a sale of 10
shares at 1880 Pineapple fell OF one
and half points in sale of 5 shares
at AZ.
No sugars we're reported from be
tween sessions. Ten Hawaiian Electric
sold at 22T 10 and 81 o. R. & L. ut
40 and 20lnter-Island at 201, all with
out change.
The Star-BulIetins news of the de.
cision of the Democrats in the Senate
to support the Williams substitutes for
the Underwood free sugar bill was
variously regarded along the street.
Some were glad that 1t was no worse
while others thought the reduction of
cne-third in the present duty, if it car
ried, would inflict a severe blow or
the weaker plantation interests of the
Territory.

thus leaving wool up in the air. and
no prospect of it coming down. The
vote was 40 to "a. Senator Simmons
was persistent and gave rotice that
he would make every effort hereafter
to secure consideration for the wool re-
vision bill, but nobody seemed to take
the matter seriously.
Net Results Noticeable.
The net results of attempted tariff
legislation have not been noticeable.
The House bill revisingS4he Meta
schedule was passed because the Reg
rlar Republican Senators. to the num-
Der of Is, walked out of the chamber
and permitted the Democrats to pass
their own measure, preventing the
Progressiyes from forcing the Demo
Gratis to accept the midway substitute
offered by Senator Cummins. This
was about enough for the Progress
sites and when the Chemical bill
came to a vote they acted with the
Regulars and it was rejected.
The sugar and wool bills now re-
rain on the Senate calendar, and the
cotton is awaiting action by the
House.

AGED WOMAN Is A
NOTORIOUS SWINDLEH

PORTLAND, Ore, July 13.-That
Mrs Anna Woods, so years old. under
arrest for swindling a number of
prominent Portland residents, is none
other than Annie Peck, the bunko
woman of international fame, is the
statement of County Detective Maher,
who recognized the woman in the mu-
nicipal courtroom today, where she
created scene by denouncing Deputy
District Attorney Hennessy and sew
eral of her victims.
A partial confession was secured
from her which may lead to a full
identification. Mrs. Woods admitted
that she had swindled the Hotel Her
aid management, Seattle. out Of $180
and was arrested not long ago for an
attempted swindle at San Francisco.
So shrewdly did the woman operate
that she secured $50 from Father
Black and $40 from DIR. w M. Camp
bell of the Hotel Imperial. 1t was
through her attempt to secure $500
from the physician that she was trap
ped. Mrs. Woods claims to have an
interest in an estate in Philadelphia
valued at $4,000 and a bank account
at Santa Rosa. To prove her cOnten-
tion she exhibited a number of deeds
and a bank book, which the police de-
clare to be forged.

there is only available running ap-
preparation based on one-twelfth the
sum paid out in this department dur
ing the last fiscal year. As there Is

though, this proportion doesn't make

When the Democratic Senators
we're notified of the warning given by
Broussard and Ewing they became
frightened and sought to change their
programme. 1t was framed up at that
time to take up the House free sugar

business. Because of the political
situation the wool revision bill was
substituted for sugar. The entire
