MAKES TITLE SEEKING
EXPENSIVE PAST|ME
Representative Bowdle Offers Bill
Aimed at Marriages to Win
Coronets.

Rich American girls who marry TITLED
foreigners will probably look with scorn
upon Representative Stanley Bowdle after
this. for Mr.. Bowde has invented plan
to make marrying titles an expensive
pastine. In carefully worded hill intro
duced by him in the House, it is proposed
that the internal revenue collector shall
take % per cent Of the income of these
titled Americans every year.
Rowdle is a lawyer, and his bill is so
worked out that the tshtest sort of a
clamp is put on the dividends, coupons.
trust funds and other sources of wealth
which American girls have been taking
from America to give to coronets abroad.
The rush for the ducal counter is
terrific, said Mr.. Bowdle My hill will
cause some of the parastical titled idlers
at Newport and Rar Harhor and other
resorts 70 view the situation with alarm .
Looking for Fame Regularly.
Mr.. Bowdle hobs up to bite at fame
about every three months. He became
famous when he beat Representative
Nick" L"nCworth at the polls. zone of

lie was the only man who had the
nerve to oppose womanS suffrage at a
recent ohio convention, and is a great
believer in little honor for Father" Mi.
Rowdle thinks that Father. who pays
the bills and takes the hard knocks.
ought to get some consideration while
mother and the girls are being lauded
also.
Legal Action Against Heiress.
Hut to resume the titled heiress tax.
Under the Bowdle measure, whenever
the internal revenue collector picks up
a paper and sees S-JDHHo,c0O in American
money marrying A slim person in an an
tique heritage with a. crown and a title.
he would go to court and set up a
legal action against the heiress. At the
same time all corporations, real estate
Gals of all sorts must buckle down and
withhold - per cent of the income of
the titled American woman, and must
hand it over to the tax collector, who
will call for it with a wheelbarrow.
Don't YOU think it will make a lot

ANOTHER DEAL
IN BREAKWATER
CONTRACT MADE
Richard Deming Purchases
Plant in Interest of Con-
tractor Marshall

F The last obstacle in the way of
Hilo breakwater construction was re-
moved today with the purchase by
Richard Deming, vice president Of the
American Surety Co., Of all quarry
rights at Kapoho and Waiakea, and
all material, stores and equipment
owned by the now-defunct Breakwater
Company of Philadelphia. The purs
chase, according to Mr.. Deming, Is
made entirely In the interest of
George e. Marshall, who has taken
over the contract for completing the
superstructnre of the breakwater. The
American Surety Company continues
on the bond of the new contractors.
Rock will fly In the near future, for.
with the arrival of some additional
equipment ordered from San Fran
cisco, Marshall will be ready to pro-
ceed with the work. A mass OF con.

railway equipment passes to the:

The Kapoho quarry, controlled by
the Lord Young Engineering Co, has
been the key to the breakwater sit
uation recently, owing to the size and
quality of the rock contained With
this and the nearby Waiakea quarry
to draw from, the new contractor
should have no difficulty in getting
through with the Job.
Mr. Deming leaves for Hilo tomor-
row. Through his efforts the unfor-
tunate tangle growing out of the fail

Strengthened out, and Hilo Is in line
for the completion OF its harbor inn
The equipment purchased
by Mr.. Deming was held by the Coast

lAKEVIEW GUSHER
AT FIRST OF MONTH

The following Is from the San Fran.
cisco Chronicle of June L: s..... :
The Lakeview No. q Oil Company
still has its hands full caring for the
production of it's great gushef in the
Maricopa field, which was brought in
May 10. The well, which is still run
ming beyond control, has produced
over 100000 barrels of oil since It
started on its wild career and it is
setting a new high production record,
with the possible exception of the
Lakeview 1911 gusher, which yielded
as high as $4,000 barrels q day, when
the flow was at its best. After three
weeks of activity the Lakeview No.
2 is still producing approximately 50,-
900 barrels a day. - 81 ->+.-s...
The reports sent out from the field
q week ago, saying that the flow was
turning to emulsion, have been par.
TALLY substantiated, but the percent
age of sediment in the production is
less than at first stated. The oil
coming from the well in marketable
condition is being cared for by the
Standard Company, but some of the
production contains about II per cent
of sedimentary impurities. This i'm
pure oil or emulsion" has to be treat
ed before it can be marketed, and it
is being stored in tanks and reservoirs
until treating plant now in course

the Oil, and if the process to be tried
out is successful, the company will
be able to realize between $4,000 and
$4,000 day from the sale of its pro-
duction. = E.--s.s
If the first clarifying plant proves
efficient, others will be erected near
the reservoirs on the company's prop
erty. It Is estimated that these plants
will cost about $4,000. The Standard
Company already. has several pipe
lines taking all Of the marketable oil,
and it is ready to handle the stocks
in storage after they have been sub
iected to treatment.

HaWaii's Representative in
Congress Makes Announce
rnent Of His Intentions

Delegate j. Ku1io Kalanianaole this
morning issued q written announce
tment Of his candidacy to succeed hini-
self as Hawa:i's representative In con.
gress.
The announcement has been expect
ed for some days. The delegate, who
has been at Waialua for few days,
returned this morning and the an
ncuncement was given out by him
shortly afterward.
There were rumors last week that
In his statement he would definitely
pledge himself to run on the Republi.
can ticket and abide by the results OF
the primaries, but the announcement
today does nothing of the kind. He
addresses the electors at large and
refers to himself only indirectly as
Republican.
The announcement says:

sincerity OF my wishes and endeavors.
But. on the whole, / believe / may fair:
IL lay claim to at least as great a.
measure of success as usually falls
to the lot Of q representative In that
house.
Unfortunately and unexpectedly I
was obliged TO temporarily abandon
nv duties at Washington during the
winter last past and. upon the advice
OF my physician, to seek milder
climate in the hope Of a speedy res
toration of my health, which had been
there suddenly and unexpectedly af+
fected. A soiourn OF several weeks
ait Paso RObles, In California, was dis
appointing In its effects, and was
further obliged, upon medical advice.
to return to sunny Hawaii, where our
own Incompatible climate has, hap
PLY, so far restored my health. that /
may hope to return to Washington
in. the near future II the present ses-
sion of Congress shall be prolonged.
"Since my return TO Hawaii, have
been urged by many loyal friends who
have. supported me In the past to
again permit my name to go before
the electors as a candidate for re-
election to Congress In. November
next. and after mature deliberation
have consented to become such candi-
date. 49,. - y. z = = :"
