Police Notes of Saturday.

There were but few cases in the
police court Saturday. Those that
did come up for trial were disposed
of in very short order.
In. the case of Juno Davis for
assault upon Sophie Rodriguez at
Kalihiwaena February 18th, de-
PENDANT waived examination and
was committed for trial to the Cir
cult Court.
Kamaki was asked to produce So
and costs for>the pastime of assault
and battery on one Heane, to which
charge defendant plead guilty.
Pat Foo plead guilty to the charge
of being the unlawful possessor OF
che ia tickets and was fined $25
and costs.
Saturday night in Honolulu
seems to be getting more and more
tame as the weeks fly by, whereas
six months ago the police clerk was
kept busy jotting down the names
of prisoners for committing various
and sundry offenses on Saturday
night; he is now very much sur
prised if more than a half dozen
arrests are made.
When the merry-go-round was
situated at the corner of Bethel
and Hotel streets, the police officers
on duty at that place were kept
busy, for it seemed to be the rem
devious of all the tough characters
of the city. Honolulu can be thank
full that the merry-go-round is no
more.
Last Saturday night seven arrests
were made all for drunkenness.
One woman was among the number.

THE DISTRICT COURT.

A Batch of Sentences-Jim 10y
Chronic Thief Gets Three Years.
H. Nelson, an employee of the
Hawaiian Tramways Co., was SEN
fenced to pay a fine S. and $18 SO
costs for driving tramway bus
without a license. Nelson, who
was put on the bus the day the
Fern boys were attending funeral,
was arrested and fined So in the
District Court. This heavier SEN
tence was the result of an appeal.
G.. II. White was sentenced to a
fine of $25 and costs for assulting
Officer Needham with a cane the
night of the raid on the japanese
some months ago.
Pablo convicted of incest got off
with sentence of six years hard
labor and $3.50 fine and costs OF
the Court.
Jim 10y, a Cinnamon who has
spent the past four years In serv-
ing sentences for robbery and wait
ing trial for offenses committed be-
tween times, was given three years
hard labor and So SO costs for
breaking into coffee shop. This
is the stiffest sentence the young
man has yet had. A few years ago
he was caught by a Chinaman on
Queen street, near the Board OF
Health office, rifing trunk in
one of the sleeping rooms. The
Chinaman held him until Harry
Juen came along and arrested him.
When his case was called in the
Circuit Court he conducted his
I'own defense and much to his sur
prise was acquitted. A week later
he was caught stealing plants.
Paaniani and Holualoa, convict
ed of maintaining a lottery were
sentenced to a fine of 800 and
costs each.
F. Smith convicted of importing
opium in trunk having false
bottom, was sentenced to pine
months hard labor and $500 fine
and $18 so costs.

Aldrich Estate Contest.

OAKLAND, Feb. 3.-William
Holt Aldrich's attempt to set aside
certain trust provisions of his faith
er's will came up for argument to-
day before Superior Judge Greene.
Attorney Randall and Volney Ash
ford appeared for Mr.. Aldrich,
while Lawyer Droun represented
the trustees. Mr.. Aldrich's counsel
first attacked the notice given
when the decree of distribution to
the trustees under the will was set
for hearing. 1t appeared from the
record that originally the Clerk of
the Court had posted notices fixing
the time for hearing the petition
for a decree of distribution upon a
holiday. A second notice was
posted fixing a subsequent day.
Judge Greene ruled that the
Clerks action did not invalidate
the notice finally given by posting.
The attorneys then attacked the
degree of distribution, arguing I'M
til a late hour this evening, when
Judge Greene continued the hear
ing until 9 a. m. tomorrow.
