ATTACK INCOME TAX
INSUPREME COURT
Claim Is Made That Law, Which
Also Affects HonoIuIans, Is
Unconstitutional

Honolulans who are affected by the
federal income tax law may be in
terested to know that papers have been
fled in the first attack in the Supreme
Court of the United States on the con
stitutionality of the law. This prom
Uses to be the most important case be
fore the tribunal at its next term
Counsel for two Detroit (Michigan)
men fled a brief attacking the surtaE
on incomes of individuals.
Three main reasons are assigned foi
claiming the surtax provision of the
Law is invalid. Stockholders in cor
porations, it is asserted, when comput
ing their surfaces, are subjected tC
liability for the gains and profits OF
the corporations which have not been
divided or distributed.
1t is charged also that the provision
vests in the secretary of the treasury
an arbitrary power of determining
without a hearing, whether any cOrpor
alton has accumulated a greater undi
vided surplus than is reasonable fol
the needs of the business.
A third reason is that the provision
permits corporations to accumulate and
withhold from surtax taxation such
part of their profits as may be reason
ably necessary for the needs and pur
poses Of the business, and does not nc
cord such business privilege to indi
viduals and partnerships. 1t is urge
that corporations are thus favored b!
'mOst invidious discrimination.

FIRE DOES HEAVY
DAMAGE TO STORE

Drenched With Water

Last night about half.past nine
o clock the fire department responded
TO a call which led them to the grocery
store of All Leong, on the mauka side
Of King street, nearly opposite the
fshmarket.
When the engines arrived the upper
story of the place was a-blaze and for
time ii looked as if the FIRE would
be serious one. The fire was gotten
under control about an hour later; not,
however, until the rooms in which ~
All Leong family dwelled were entirely
destroyed. Very few Of the contents
were saved.
An immense crowd gathered in the
street and for a time it looked as If
it might hamper the work of the fire.
men. .... .....
On one side of the All Leong store
are the premises of the Honolulu
Cracker Company and on the other
those Of Luen Chang, another cracker
and cake manufacturer.
While the fire was in progress the
occupants of these places started to
throw their household effects into the
street and after few minutes King
street at this point resembled an auc-
ton room. .''.
Just how the fire started is not
definitely known, hut it is believed to
have been caused by the upsetting Of
an oil lamp. 49,.

LONDON, July 9.-The great activi-

last week that seven German subma,

they would make their bases at Trieste

with the result that a passenger gets
stepped on.
Provision for sea sick passengers
seemed obscure to Mr.. Mclean. Deck
passengers are carried at lower rates
than cabin, naturally, and they ray
for nothing except the space they lie
on. They do not get even meals un
less they make special arrangements
for them. They fnr& supply their own
bedding. AS indicated, the company
does nothing except to transport them
and to furnish deck space.
Wharf Extension Necessary
Mr.. Mclean was shown this editorial
Yesterday. 1t was submitted to him
by the Public Utilities Commission,
prior to the hearing on the Lahaina ac
cident. Since then he had heard moth
ing of any complaint of ill-treatmcnt.
In speaking of the Lahaina accident,
Mr.. Mclean urged that work should
begin Immediately on McGregor = land,
ing wharf, An appropriation of $40,
600 was made by the Legislature for
an extension of 1873 or $50 feet.
"under the present wharf, there is
big rock, " said Mr.. Mclean. THAT
rock produces a strong wash when
waves roll up under the wharf, and
the wash is bad for boats directly out
side, few feet away at the wharf
Lahaina is becoming more and more
dangerous. 1t seems to be filing up.
AS is known, there is something
strange in the manner big rollers will
develop there from seemingly smooth
sea; sometimes two or three great ones
will come in almost without warming.
Close Attention Necessary
every close attention is necessary
at such times; despite the care eXcr
cised, we bad one accident there r"
Gently in which two lives were lost -
an accident that, to this time, cannot

Nevertheless, dropping that owes

it is unsafe for us to enter Lahaina,
, we must discharge at McGregOr Is, aud
in view Of the poorer conditions at
Lahaina, the work at McGIcgor :

up William and life in general in one
great conflagration of agony, when big
strong, purple-print arms inclosed me,

had not heard since my own mothers
voice was stilled, crooned above my head
which was pressed down on the lawn
kerchief and into the bunch of lilacs.
Il knew you, honey bunch, from the
way you looked at William and from his
letters about you which match out so
nice. My, I'm mighty glad he have such
fine, travelled girl like you to go with

things like that, and | know you will take

"Oh, I'm not worthy of him! I'm
not worthy of you'll" l gasped, pressing
still closer against the soft, wide breast
"Don't let him know you feel that way,
child. All women do; but it isn't good

William could walk alone, and he never

"What did l promise you?" William
asked me, as he gave his mother kiss
which somehow slid off on to the back of
my neck also, as it was so close on her
shoulder.
FATHER, Uncle Morris, one director,
two seniors, and freshman did go home
with William-home to an old farm
house down in Harpeth Valley that was
long and low, with vines over the gables,
doves in the vines, and peace and poverty
back of its wide threshold
And the moon was glorious down by the
milk-house, and SO light that William sue
ceeded in skimming almost whole layer
of cream from one of the crooks with his
wedge of pie SO skilfully that the remain
ing portion spread out and concealed the
deed.
William was so like ten years as he
licked around the corners of the pie to
keep it from dripping that had an
other awful what his mother calls squeam
of fear about him and-me.

ately to the arm that was not devoted to
balancing the pie, show will you ever
