SEEK TESTIMONY OF
SON OF WANAMAKER
Attorney General Says Customs
: Fraud Case May Be One Of
Only Bookkeeping.

Rodman Wanamaker. son Of John
Wanamaker. wealthy New York and
Philadelphia merchant, is being sought
in the customs frauds case which the
Democratic Administration recently re-
opened, according to authoritative re-
ports today at the Department Of JUS
tice. John Wanamaker. 1t was learned
today, made four-hour explanation on
Saturday in an effort to show that there
was no personal guilt in the cases
which the company settled for $4,000 In
the closing days Of the Taft Admins
tration.
Rodman Wanamaker 10 now be-
lieved to be in Paris. and department
officials think that they could CLEAN
valuable information from him If he
could be located.
The Government. while believing that
in its reopening Of the case 1t has found
strong circumstantial evidence, admitted
that there are few, II any, witnesses
who can back up its claims. Evidence
has come to light, 1t is said, showing
that dutiable goods were packed In
cases of samples. which were admitted
free at Philadelphia.
The appraisers passed these goods
without making personal inspections,
and relied upon the statements Of the
company's representatives because OF
their reputation.
The Attorney General admitted today
that the case might be one merely OF
bookkeeping, and declared that he did
not care offhand to condemn Q man on
such evidence without q more thorough
investigation. John Wanamakers ex-
PLANTATION Of transactions covering fifteen
years was one result Of the Attorney
Generals plans for getting the fullest
possible explanation before proceeding

FIGHT ON AUCTIONS
HAS LITTLE RESULT
Commissioners Fail to Enact
Ordinance Against Bells,
Flags, and Night Work.

The campaign conducted by the Retail
Jewellers Association Of the District Of
Columbia to rid the city Of the SOCIAL
ed fake auction houses has not proved
successful as had at first been hoped.
The war on the jewelry auction
houses. instead Of hurting them in any
way. has stimulated business consid-
erably. II the number Of complaints
Police Headquarters can be taken as
criterion. Also one more auction
place has opened its doors.
The jewellers had hoped that the Dis
trict Commissioners would enact an
ordinance against night auctions, in
cluding in It provisions against the
ringing Of bells, hanging out Of hags
except at certain hour OF the day and
certain other restrictions, but such ac-
tion has not been taken.
Invoke Old Act.
What was done was to invoke the
amended act Of juno Is, 1857. requiring
auctioneers who engage in business
here to be residents Of the District, take
out q license Of 800 and give bond in
the sum of 5000.
Apparently this has proved no hard
ship on the auction interests. All COM
piled with the law by giving bond in
the amount named, the bonds being
furnished by a surety company. The
auction houses are all doing business
at the same old stands.
The police are powerless to act, and
frankly tell all persons who call at
headquarters or the station houses to
complain about goods purchased at the
auction houses that there II nothing

PLANTERS END
THEIR WORK
At FEAST
Thirty-third Annual Meeting Of
Men Who Have Made Hawaii
Worlds Leading Sugar Pro-
Queer, Comes to a Close with an
Enjoyable Banquet given at
the Pacific Club.

The Hawaiian Sugar Planters Asso-
ciat on met yesterday morning in execu-
tive session and listened to the reports
of the committees on labor and immi-
grafton. The discussion elected by
these reports was not concluded at the
end of the morning session. Meeting
again at half-past one o clock, the final
reports and resolutions were read and
adopted. and the meeting adjourned.
A number of the managers then visited
the Makiki experiment station and in
spected the insectary.
EntOmologists Swezey and Osborne
explained the methods of breeding para
sites for distribution to the plantations
for the control of borer, leafhopper,
anomala beetles and other cane pests.
The managers also inspected the lysime.
tens, the fertilizer plots and the legumes
that are being grown for green manure
Last night the session was brought
to close with banquet at the Pa.
cific Club. Cane was raised without
fertilizer enormous yields of sugar
were produced by novel methods, and
Juice of ninety-nine per cent purity was
extracted. A full ration of ensilage
molasses and cane-tops was served The
vaudeville performance was the hit of
the evening.
And so the thirty-third annual meet
ing of the Hawaiian Sugar Planters
Association came to its close Today
the plantation managers return to their
fields to take up their share of the
fight to maintain the high standard of
efficiency which has made Hawaii the
foremost cane-sugar producing country
in the world.

Grass Skirts Are
Held for Duty
Australian Customs Officers Rule
That Curios Are Fashionable
Attire in Hawaii; Insist That
Duty Must Be Paid.

Does Hawaii need more advertising

Ford told everybody down there about

ters picturing the handsome form of
Duke KahanamOku on a surf board, do
folks down in the Land of the Waffle
think that we all dress that way in

What gave rise to these serious ques-
tiOns was a letter received Wednesday
by well known Honolulan from Will
liam Kyle, a prominent capitalist of
Melbourne.
a few months ago Kyle IS Honolulu
friends sent him "a package of Tapa
cloth and an Hawaiian grass skirt to
be used as wall decoration for his
den. The package arrived in Mel
bourne safely but when it went through
the, lynx'eyed customs inspectors hands
th9 trouble began. a1s q
The Australian tariff laws provide
for a ten per cent ad valorem duty on
curios and forty per cent ad valorem
duty on wearing apparel. - y Id.
After several thousand yards of red
tape had been unwound and after the
heads of thirteen different departments
had been interviewed, the head of the
customs service in Victoria decided
that grass skirts We're to be classed as
wearing apparel; that they were the
form of clothing worn by the inhabi
tants of Hawaii and his decision OF
this weighty question was that grass
skirts be classed under the forty pei
cent basis.
In his letter, Mr.. Kyle did not state
whether he would appeal from this de
cision to parliament when it is next in
session but the fact still remains thai
there is need for little enlightenment
in Australia AS to what the people weai
here. Grass skirts Cd timers will re
