IMU Hi ORH) IBT AUTHORITY win nnr n.r PTiunti KflU bUi lilt a uin San Poul of States Revenue Laws. KW CHINESE WERE CONVIGTEQ PRIMA FACIE EVIDENCE GATHER- ED IN A VERY SUPER- FICIAL MANNER. Special Agent Thomas of the Internal Revenue Office Visits Hawaii and Finds a Pretty State of Affairs Under Deputy Sheriff Andrews. Deputy Sheriff Overend, one of Andrews men over on the Island of Hawaii, has been proceeding against Chinese dealers in hop beer on the nig island In a way that may lead him into more trouble than he with his More than questionable appearing methods has been able to cause the lavly celestials. District Magistrate Henry Hall, of Konokaa. may also share in this plllkia If .the United Status court officials so interpret and enforce the letter of the law. Three Chinese have been found guilty by Magistrate Hall of violating the Territorial .irjuor laws. The sole evidence on which they were convicted was their Internal Revenue tax cer tificates, torn from the walls of their places of business by the deputy sher iff. These cases have been appealed a the circuit court and the defendants will be represented by Attorney W. S. "ATsc. , This state of affairs in Deputy Sheriffs Andrews' jurisdiction was lv B. -1. Thomas. Special gent of the Internal Revenue department, who is here n connection with the changes in the office of Revenue Co.ector. He returned Sunday from a tour of Hawaii. Concerning the illegal proceedings against these Chinaman, he said: AU internal revenue tax receipts are required b United States law to -v posted In the place of business. Micro Is a heavy fine and penalty for TioIatJons of this requirement One of Andrews' deputies has torn down nonny all of these receipts in Hono-sa. This man is deputy sheriff He has "been making prosecutions against Chinese dealers in hop beer. His onlv evidence against three Chinese who were convicted before Henry Hall was these tax taken from the wall. "Of course we can proceed against we Chinese for not keeping their tar receipt posted, but knowing as we do that the stamped paper was torn down hy 'official force,' it would be manifestly unjust to impose heavy penalties upon the helpless Chinese. We question the right of a sheriff to take down a. special United States tax receipt. It hi the man's own property-It Is his defense and In a case of prosecution, ho should have the privilege of using It or not using It as evidence In his own behalf. At least. I know a shoriff would not take down such n receipt if It belonged to a white man. "The Internal Revenue department docs not undertake to protect holders of special license receipts from penal-tics provided by local laws. However ft Is very strict requiring the observant of Its own rules. This office will make no move against the Deputy Sheriff's Andrews or Overend. That wfl! be left to the discretion of United Statos Attorney Bnird. "It seems fn Hllo and In northern JfTawall, the people consume large quantities of 'hop beer.' There is no "toca! license law for its sale. The United States Internal Revenue law Toqulros a tax of $25 for dealing in this stuff. These Chinamen had protected themselves by taking out special United States licenses. The sheriff and District Magistrate Hall seem to consider this certificate prima lade evidence of sales of all kinds of Tiquor. It is very irregular and the cases will fall to pieces In the circuit court." While on Hawaii. Mr. omas discovered that ninny of the Japanese stage drivers hns incurred liability or prosecution as unlicensed wholesale and retnll liquor dealers. These Japanese have been regularly taking orders for liquor n Hilo and delivering ft to customers on the plantations. "We stuck a half dozen of them for the regular tax and the fifty per cent penalty," he said. Only first-class work, and at prices that will be satisfactory. Robert Grieve Publishing Co.. Ltd.
