YENSHEE CASE SHOWS
NEED OF CHEMICAL
EXPERT IN COURT

An expert on organic chemistry
was in demand, in the police court In
the trial of All Mi, charged with hav-
ing opium in possession, when Jack
Atkinson, attorney for the defense,
wanted to know all about yenshee and
the component parts of the dream

Prosecutor Chillingworth declared
that heroin was product of opium,
and ran for the dictionary to prove
il. but Webster mad hidden away. At
kinson asked Chung Choy, an opium
expert and detective In Capt McDuf-
fie's department, il yenshee was a
narcotic, and Chung Choy didn't
"sabe." Judge Monsarrat started to
explain, but thought better Of it and
remarked tnat his court was no tech
nical laboratory.
The Judge was informed, eventually,
that yenshee was the ashes of pure
opium and the same as opium when
boiled down and concentrated. The
Judge seemed reasonably sure that
this was what the defendant had In
possession, so did Chung Choy, for he
took some out of the bowl to taste be-
fore giving his decision.

INHERITANCE TAX
FROM BIG ESTATE
MAY FORM ISSUE
Stainback Anticipates Litiga-
ton Over Holdings of Late
Annie 7. K. P. Smart

Acknowledgement /. NJ. Stainback an
ticipates further litigation over the
estate of the late Annie T.. K Parker
Smart, he told the Bulletin today.
II il comes, he says, IL will be to
decide the question Of how the inner
itance tax shall be paid and on what.
MRS. Smart provided in her will
that certain interests In the estate
should go to various persons" Stain
back says. 1T is my contention and
the claim of the territory that the
property over which Mrs. Smart had
the power CT appointment is tax
able" -.
In the case of the husband, Henry
Gaillard Smart, Stainback says he had
certain interests in the estate under
his wife's will, and that the final
compromise in this respect has add
ed further complications to determin.
ing the tax question. -.@
Another question" Stainback adds,
els whether there should be tax on
what Smart actually received from
the estate, or on what his expectancy
was worth -..=ef
The appraisers of the estate of the
late Mrs. Smart have reported to Cir
cult Judge Whitney that, according
to the condition of the estate, they
are unable to appraise It, stating that
the status of the estate is matter
upon which the court should pass.
In full their report is as follows:
Property of the deceased located
In this Jurisdiction consists, so far as
the appraisers have been able to de-
termine, in the income under deed
OF trust whereby the deceased as
beneficiary received $4,000 a month
income, and Mrs. Elizabeth ]. Knight
$1,000 a month income until the debt
on the corpus of the estate is paid
up, whereupon one fourth Of the in
come under the deed of trust was,
by the terms thereo of, to go for Inn
,provements on the estate, one-half
thereof to the deceased and one-quar-
ter to Mrs. knight.
"In view of the various provisions
OF the trust deed and further in view
of the fact that deceased had power
under the deed to dispose of the in
come by will and that the deed of
trust was only to run until the death
OF the survivor, Mrs. knight or de-
ceased, we report the estate as be-
ing in such a condition as will re-
quire the opinion of the court to de-
termine the exact value Of the ies'
tate.
ct is, in its present state, in a
condition which the appraisers cam
not pass upon. being altogether out
OF their province as such apprais-
ers."

RETAIL DEPARTMENTS
MARKETING DEPARTMENT
SUCCESS FROM START

The retail departments of the ter
ritorial marketing division are a mark
ed success. Reports just completed
for the fruit, vegetable and meat de-
partments show a satisfactory gain
during the first month of their exist
ence, June, 1916 IS.
A. T. Longiey, superintendent Of
the division, intends to feature the
retail departments In the hope of max
ing them shopping center for Homo
lulu buyers who do their own shop
ping and carry their own purchases
home.
"You would be surprised at the
number of women you can see at
times in the retail departments, with
shopping bags janmed full or with
autos literally filled with food, says
the superintendent.
An additional effort to promote the
newest phase of the division will be
the closing of the San Francisco
branch office August 1, after IL
months work. The branch was estab-
lished to handle shipments from the
division and has done much to pro-
mote the purchase of island products
on the coast. The agent in charge
there will still be retained, but on q
commission basis only, the 500

be used in the business here. At
some later date the coast office may
be reopened, says Longley, but prob
ably not while there is such good
