The inspec- tors are to be practical gas fitters of five yers' experfence, and shall inspect all new work relating to gas fitting in new and old buildings. The ordinance provides the manner in which gas pipes and fit- tings shall be installed, and was referred to the joint Committee on Fire and Arti- ficial Lights, The ordinance is the result of the peti- tion of Coroner Leland that a law: be passed requiring the inspection of all gas pipes before they are allowed to be used in order to, prevent the frequent recur- rence of deaths by asphyxiation from the collection of water in the pipes. Bids were ordered to be invited for the doing of the city printing for the fiscal year. The resolution appropriating the sum of $1250 out of the urgent necessity fund for the experting of books of public offi- cers was adopted. A previous appropria- tion of $1500 for the same purpose has been exhausted to vay J. J. Hassell for experting the books and accounts of W. Ji. J. White, former cashier of the Board of Works. The board adjourned to meet to-night to resume the water rate inquiry. —_— Defendants Held to Answer.

B il The merits of love as an aid to study- ing a forelgn language are being threshed out in the United States Circuit Court of Appeals. Marie Carrau, a dainty French miss who falled to make good her claim ! on the fortune of John Sullivan, her dot- | ing pupil, in the’District Court of Wash- ington, is now fighting her case in the | court of last appeal. John Sullivan, aged 60 bank account of $460,000, mors ot lems i | dertook, according to the clalms of the claimant, to study French with a view toward a trip aboard. But he mingled love with his irregular verbs and even went so far as to make a promise of matrimony to his fair teacher. ‘When impending death overtook him at the home of his future ‘brother-in-law, | Louis Dausset, in Seattle, the aged stu-| dent of French verbally made over all of ' his estate to his mentor, but failed to| take the precaution to put his testament in writing.

MORE THOUBLE 08 DEMOCAATS at to its | More trouble is in store for the Dem-| ocratic party of California. An account- | ing of money received and disbursed in the late gubernatorial campaign has not been filed as yet In the office of the Sec- retary of State, as the purity of election | law requires. It is asserted on good au- thority that the Iroquois Club contrib- uted $250 to the campalgn fund. Some time after the battle at the polls, which resulted in the defeat of the Dem- ocratic standard bearer, hints were thrown out that the State committee did | One of the braves at once fancied that| the surest way to prove the falsity of the official report. Accordingly a letter was addressed to Charles F. Curry, Sacra- mento, requesting that the copy be sup- | plied. The Secretary promptly acknowl- edged the receipt of the written request | and in reply conveyed the rather startling | iutelligence that the Democratic Stale | ticns. Max Popper and other warriors of the tflbe are ready to testify that the sum of $25 was tdken from the wampum Lelt for the use of the Democratic State organization. It the Democratic campaign managers want to throw a ray of light on the con- troversy they can shed the beam on or before February 23. On the day follow- ing General Washington's birthday there will be a grand conference of Iroquols chieftains of the Pacific Coast in San Francisco. Big chlefs from Seattle, Spo- kane and Portland, from Reno and Phoe- nix have sent tokens of their coming. Al- ready delegates representing twenty-three Iroquols clubs pf Caiifornia have given | signs that they will be here to attend the | time and stay here over night in order that they may recover from the joys of the great feast to be spread for the tribe on the evening of the council day. On that eventful night the warriors of Ne- \ada, Arizona, Washington, Oregon and California will ‘hark to the eloquent wis- Thecdore Bell and Professor Simmons. There will be other grandstand orators, but perhaps none more silvery in elo- quence than Coleman, none more versatile in promise than Bell and none more wise n Simmons looks. The avowed pur- posc of the gathering is to rally the war- riors for the great national campalgn of 1904, @ il @ will filed in the Superior Court of King County, Washington. A hitch arose, how- favoring Hannah O’Callaghan and -Ed- ward Corcoran, distant cousins of the de- ceased, according to their allegations. They were Irish as sworn to upon their solemn oaths, and a true Irish ruction en- sued in the District Court of Washing- ton, which resulted in the nuncupative will of the fair Marie being thrown out. Now, through her attorneys, James W. Robinson and L. 8. V. Sawyer, Miss Car- | rau is endeavoring to prove‘that the will dictated by affection born of a study of other testaments to the contrary notwith- standing. The following declaration of the aged pupil is introduced as showing his manifest intention in behalf of the claimant: “The best way to learn French is to marry a French girl. 1t will then be just a pleasure, and not a labor.” \ DAY, FEBRUARY 10, | is undisputed l, 1903 JUDGE 3USTAING INCOME TRX LAW Hawaiian Legislative, Act Upheld by Court ¢ of Appeals. End Is Finally Réached in| Prolonged Strife Over the Measure. Judge Gilbert of the United States Cir- court Court of Appeals handed down a | decision yesterday affirming the decree of the District Court of Hawati in dismiss- ing the sult of W. C. Peacock and sixty other merchants of Hawait against J. Pratt, Assessor and ccllector of tax the division of Honolulu, as a test case on the validity of the Hawalian income tax. This brings to an end the protracted struggle against the tax measure which was enacted by the Territorial Legislature £ 1901. - of the republic of Hawali enacted a statute imposing an income tax of 1 per cent annually with the provision that incomes not exceeding 22000 should be exempt ‘While those not exceeding $1000 should be taxed only on| the excess over $2000, and incomes exceed ing $4000 should be assessed without e emption. By the enactment of the Territorial Le; islature in 11 the 0ld measure was rad cally changed. An income tax of 2 per cent was levied upon all incomes exceed ing $1900. Besides this a 2 per cent tax was levied on the net profit of all porations doing business in the Territory no matter where they were created "and organized. Against this measure the aggregation of merchants carried their fight, claiming that it viclated the organic Territory and the constitution United States. the measure contained illegal discrimina- tions, failed to exempt the salarles of Judges and compelled taxpayers to fur- nish evidence against themselves which of the | might result in criminal prosecution. JUDGE GILBERT'S SUMMARY. When the case was carried to the Ha- waiian District Court a demurrer was in- terposed by the counselors for the Gov- ernment upon the ground that the com- plainants had an adequate remedy at law sinee the disputed measure provided for a Tax Appeal Court. The District Court sustained the demurrer and dismissed the case. It was then appealed to the court of appeliate jurisdiction now in session at San Francisca In his decision Judge Gilbert makes th tollowing summary of the legal aspect of the question upon which he bases his deductions: The appellants in their bill claim that the ircome tax law of Hawall violates both the organic act of the Territory and the consti- tution of the United States The oniy restriction of the powers: of the lature contained in the organic provision that the legisiative powe: of the Territory shall extend to all righttul subjects of legislation not inconsistent with the constitution and Jaws of the United States There is no express limitation of power in the matter of taxation. I he case of Clinton W : ““The thepry u vernments for port act is th it the Englchrecht which he terri- been organized government con- and supervision with of national authority and wita certain funda- mental principles established by Congress.’ sistent the supremacy The grovision that the legislative power shall extendl to all rightful subjects of legislation includes, therefore, full and comprehensive power to legislate in the matter of taxation. It is urged that section 2 of the income tax law makes illegal discriminations in favor of private schools, colleges, commerclal colleges. fraternal benefit socisties and fire. life and marine insurance companies. But these cor- porations are all of a nature usually recog- nized as proper subjects of exemption (rom taxation, with the exception of insurance com- panies, and the act states the reason of their exemption. ILLEGAL DISCRIMINATION. It 1= ciaimed that the exemption of in- comes to the extent of §1000 is an illegal dis- crimination. The power of State Leglslatures to grant reasonable exemp! s from taxation It has been upleld on grounds of enlightened public policy, a public policy Which seeks to _exciude from’ taxation the lv- | ing expenses of the average family and thus | erable the poor man to escape becoming a pub- lic_burden. It rests upon the theory that the exemption results in uitimate benefit to the taxpayer, which compensates him for the additional bur- den of taxation which he is thereby called on to bear. It does not apply to corporations for the reason that they have mo correspond- ing expense. Tt is claimed that the act in question violates the fourth and fifth amendments in that it authorizes unreasonable search and selzure of private papers and compels the taxpayer in a Criminal case to furnish evidence against him- self. 1t the act authorizes unreasonmable gearch or recuires the production of evidence in violation of the amendments, the taxpayer | may invoke the protection of 'those amend- Ments whenever he shall be called upon to Submit to the search or produce the evidence. The following decizions were also hand- ed down: J. W. Torrey vs. James Kelley, judgment reversed: Butte and Boston Consolidated Mining Company vs. Mon- tana Ore Purchasing Company, judgment affirmed. . Becomes Bankrupt. Arthur W.
