CHRISTMAS IS
TAKEN in AUTO
TO IMMIGRANTS

1t was pleasant surprise that kind.
hearted women Of Honolulu gave the
'kiddies' at the territorial immigra-
ton station on Christmas. Hearing
that the youngsters at the big enclos-
ure at the foot of Alakea street might
wish for more Christmas than they
were getting, Mrs. Adelaide Grune de-
termined to see that they were given
a special visit by Santa Claus She
secured an auto and secured the down
town section for quick-order supplies.
and the result was that at 5 o'clock
she drove down to the station with
some friends and there distributed the
gifts. The gates were locked but a
Japanese Boy Scout climbed high
enough to pass balloons and other
toys to the youngsters inside
Mrs. Grune and her assistants wish
to thank those who contributed so
readily to help the children and give
enjoyment to the older immigrants
and to thank the Sweet Shop especial
ly for its generosity in donating sup
plies. There are about Is children
and 35 older people at the station.

NEEb,AlnOSID
OFFICIAL DUTY

That automobiles are extensively
used by army officers In. the perform
ance Of their military and other ofi-
cial duties, and that the machines are
highly essential in this respect, is a
summary of the testimony given in
Circuit Judge Etnart's court today by
Col. L. w. v. Kennon, formerly of
the 18th Infantry, and Capt w. R.
Davis, medical corps, u. s. A., as a
part of the plaintiffs case is the inter
esting automobile taxation case
brought by Capt A. F. Cassels against
the tax assessor. of the first division.
Taxation by the territory of an au-
tomobile belonging to Captain Cassels
brought about the suit. It was taken
to the supreme court on reserved
questions from Judge Stuart's court.
The higher tribunal held that the
territory has jurisdiction on mill
tary reservation, and can tax all prop
erty belonging to army officers on
such reservations.
It is the contention of the plaintiff
In the case that automobiles should
be exempt from taxation the same as
other property owned by army off,
GERS and essential in the military serv-
ice. The idea of the testimony this
morning was to show how, and to
what extent, officers are using their
automobiles on the reservations.
Not Trying to Dodge Taxation.
Some people have the impression
that army officers are trying to avoid
taxation simply because they are in
the service" says 1st Lieut.. NJ. A.
Palen, one of the counsel for the plain
tiff, 'but that is not the idea. The
officers feel that they should pay
their taxes the same as other people
on property not used in the military
service" -
Further hearing of the automobile
case will be had in Circuit Judge Ash
ford's court 1 80 o'clock next Wednes-
day afternoon. Capt. E. X. Massee,
Judge advocate general of the Ha-
waiian department, Lieut.. Palen and
Attorney C. H. Olson are represent
ing Captain Cassels.

STUART MAY REOPEN
CASE DISMISSED BY
JUDGE C. w. ASHFORD

That the mandannus suit brought by
Judge T. B. Stuart against Governor
Pinkham and Land Commissioner J.
ID. Tucker may be reopened in the
supreme court, is the inference gained
from statement by Judge Stuart
who says that he may file bill OF
exceptions to the decision of Circuit
Judge Ashford, and thereby take the
case to the higher tribunal
The decision handed down by Judge
Ashford last Friday dismissed Judge
Stuart's suit. Eight of the nine
grounds in a joint demurrer fled by
the governor and the land commits
sioner were sustained by the first
judge, the only ground overruled being
that alleging that the court hao no
jurisdiction IN the matter.

SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, Dec q
EARLY yesterday morning the wind
storm that has been raging on the
plains of Leilehua for the past few
days greatly increased I'm violence and
played havoc with some OF the tenn
porary quarters at the barracks. The
box car barracks of the LIST Infantry
were a special prey to its fury and IL
seems almost miraculous that not
more than three soldiers were seri.
ously injured.
Pyts. Cornelius F. Cronin and
James l.. Darlington of ID Company
were seriously injured about the head
when the roof Of the f Company bar
racks crashed into their quarters
about 2:30 In the morning. They were
rushed to the hospital in an uncon-
scious condition, where it was found
that their injuries were serious but
not fatal.

When Company's roof took fight
and the wall cayed In on the wind
ward side, a two by six struck the
bunk Of Pvt. e. Gissandanner, tore
through the mattress and springs just
where Gissandanner had been

started to get up when the crash
came. He was picked up unconscious
from the side of his bunk with sever

and wiz soon be back for duty.
There were l22 men asleep In l.
Company's barracks when the roof
was lifted on. yet not one man was
scratched. Part Of the roof or + Com.
pany's barracks was carried clear off
the building and part crashed In upon
the sleeping men. Some of the up.I
rights Of the iron quartermaster
hunks were twisted and broken, yet
not single man was injured. The
strong construction Of these beds
probably saved the lives of many Of
Uncle Sans soldiers.

YUAN'S MONARCHY ONE
OF ABLE SUPPORTERS

Wong Yuen Yung, who according to
the Associated Press dispatches, pub.
lished on page 9 of this issue, was as.
sassinated in San Francisco, was one
Of the leading spirits in the monar-
chical party, according to local Chi
nese who has known Yung for mum,
Der of years.
''Yung was a brilliant student and
was one OF the. best informed men IN
the Chinese Republic said the local
man today. He was the type Of man
who could do things, and although he
was strong supporter OF the mon
archy, he still retained many friends
among his political opponents. He
was native of Kiang-si, and received
his first education in southern China.

he was enrolled as student at Wa
soda University. After his graduation
from Waseda,. Yung went to Peking

ROOFS VANISH, WALLS COLLAPSE
DURING STORM AT SCHOFIELD

Yesterday morning was spent by the
Ord Battalion, LIST Infantry, in moving
into the recently constructed concrete
quarters, which with the exception OF
few finishing touches are now ready
for occupancy. ID and F Companies,
whose barracks we're demolished by
the storm, moved into the box car bar.
racks vacated by X and NJ Companies.
These barracks, which look like huge
box cars, were built by the 1st Infan-
try two years ago, when the regiment
moved from a camp on the site of the
present baseball park, down to Cast
ner.
The greatest damage Of all was to
the barracks of Troop A, 4th Cavalry.
About 2 a. m. the entire barracks be.
gan to list to one side Part of the
roof became detached from the wall
and sagged in the center. The men
got out of the barracks as quickly as
possible, and the last man had hardly
emerged from the door when the en-.
tire building came down with a
crash. This Is much heavier build
ing than the box car quarters of the
1st Infantry, and many men would
have been killed had not they re-
ceived this proyidential warning. The
roof came down with such force that
some of the hunks where the soldiers
had been sleeping were driven
through the floor.
Other Damages.
Twenty-six private garages were
blown down or badly damaged, and
many machines belonging to the Off
GERS and enlisted men that were in.
side these buildings were injured in
one way or another
The entire front part of the roof
of Capt Roger o. Mason's quarters
was torn on the building, and much
of his property was damaged.
A wing of the headquarters build.
ing of the LIST Field Artillery was lift.
ed from its foundations and dumped in
a heap several feet away. Many trees
were uprooted, and section of the
iron roof of the magazine was carried
by the wind more than 100 yards.
A similar storm took place at Scho-
field last year a few days before
Christmas which did considerable
damage but in no way equaied the
havoc of this Christmas Kona.
