SUPREME COURT TAKES CASE
UNDER AMUSEMENT.
The Question Argued Is Whether De-
cision of Judge Carter Releasing
Mr.. Damon Will Stand.

After listening to the exhaustive
arguments of the attorneys in the suit
of S. NJ. Damon against Charles NJ.
Hyde, the Supreme Court took the
matter under consideration today.
Paul Neumann defended Mr.. Damon,
and Kinney & Ballou represented fo'
DR.. Hyde.
The suit is the outgrowth of the
resignation of Mr.. Damon from the
Board of Trustees of the Bishop
trust. DIR. Hyde, on behalf of The
other trustees, protested, but Circuit
Judge Carter granted Mr.. Damon per-
mission to resign. The case was then
appealed to the higher tribunal.
The case was instituted in the
lower court just few days prior to
Mr.. Damon's departure for England
to represent the Republic of Hawaii
at Queen victoria's Diamond Jubilee
He stated to the court his reasons for
resigning, which were satisfactory
enough. One OF the contentious nd
vanced by Mr.. Damon was that with
his absence there would not be 4
quorum of the trustees to act and Il
some one were appointed in his stead
this difficulty would be avoided.
DR.. Hyde and the other trustees pro-
tested, replying to Mr.. Damon that
there was no need of his resigning
as w. F. Allen, member of thc
board, who was then absent in Jap IN
would return in good time to max
the quorum.
The outcome of the suit in the high
est court is patiently awaited ~
many people who are interested in tn,
controversy.

HANDSOME OFFICE BUILDING IN
PROSPECT.
Ground to Be Broken Next Week
Island Stone Will Be Used in Its
Erection-Fine Carved Work.

Ground will be broken early next
week for the new Inter Island Com
pany office building on the maltai
side of Queen street, about 100 feet
from Fort. The building is to be of
native stone and pressed brick, two
stories in height, and will cost when
completed something over $20,0UG.
The architects are Howard & Train,
and they have designed what is des-
tined to be the handsomest exclusive
office building in town.
The building is to be occupied eY-
clusively by the Inter Island Steam
ship Company, and has been planned
ing business. The front of the struc-
ture, extending a distance of 60 feet
on Queen street, will be of native stone
and pressed brick. The main entrance
in the center, opening into broad
corridor leading to the main offices.
will be very handsome affair. snp-
ported by polished stone columns.
The second floor front is broken by
number of polished stone columns
with carved capitals, and pictures
que stone balcony, finely carved, ex-
tends almost across the front of the
building
The lower floor is divided by broad
corridor into two splendidly lighted
rooms, each 22x6O feet. The offices
will be on the Eva side, the general
Office inf ront lighted by plate glass
window that takes up almost the en-
office in front lighted by plate glass
the rear, well lighted. The counter
in the general Office will be of hard
wood, highly polished, and protected
by polished plate glass, set in bronze
gilt work. The store room on t.
Waikiki side will be occupied by the
chandlery department, as will also the
entire second fioor, connected with the
lower floor by winding iron stair
way, and in the rear by an elevator.
A covered driveway will exterd
along the Eva side of the building to
an open space in the rear. This drive
way opens from the street through

very handsome appearance from the
outside, and within will be furnished
with the best of material Work
upon it will probably be pushed rapid.

SUBSCRIPTION LISTS ARE GOING
ROUND.
Some People Claim That the Sailors
Do Not Get a Fair Deal--Investigl A.
ton To Be Instituted.

A Fort street business man is cir
culating a subscription list about the
city with the view of raising a fund
with which to fight the Police Depart
ment.
The list calls for donations to IA fund
to employ counsel which will cause an
investigation in the Courts of the
alleged claims of brutality and assault
made upon white men and sailors by
the native police.
II is proposed to retain Humphreys
& Macdonald. The junior member of
this firm devoted considerable of his
time since his admission to the bar
of the Hawaiian Courts in defending
Uncle Sans sailors, who claim that
they have been badly treated at the
hands of the Honolulu police. For
this reason the subscribers believe
that Mr.. Macdonald's services in the
crusade against the police will be very
valuable.
The subscription list was quite gen.
orally circulated during the day and
has number of signers for amounts
ranging from $40 down.
Just what plan the attorneys will
pursue in bringing about an investi-
cation is not known.

STARS PROTEST SUSTAINED.
The League besides Umpire Whitney
Was in the Wrong.

The baseball league decided at a spn-
cial melting this afternoon to sustain
the protest of Captain Wilder of the
Star team against the umpirt's de-
cision in the "blocked ball" incident,
now famous of last Mondays game.
AS result the game must be consid'
cred a drawn game, and must be play
ed over again next Saturday.
The members of the st. Louis Col
lege aggregation are very much d'l
satisfied with the decision of t e."
league. and assert that they will not
again meet the Star team. IT is gen
orally believed. however. that they
will forgo the "baby act" before next
Saturday and bow to the decision o.
the league. The feeling on both sid"s
has been very bitter, and the chanco>
are that if the teams meet in anothe,
match it will he the hottest game n
the season. The Star and st. Loui;
teams are now tied for first place.

GOVERNMENT RELIEF Is FULLY

Interesting Interview With an Indian
Tea Planter-His Views On Coffee
Planting In Hawaii.

G. Paterson, tea planter who has
spent many years in India, and is now
on his way to England TO visit his old
home, is now in the city. He left In
passing through the heart of the
famine district, and has scme very in
teresting stories to tell of the famine
Mr.. Paterson is a typical Englishman.
He went out to India about fifteen
years ago and engaged in the tea
business. He was successful, and IS
now on his way home, after a tour
through China and Japan, and pros
pective visit to the United States.
"Recent reports sent out in regard
to the famine in India have been great
ly exaggerated" said Mr.. Paterson TO
reporter for The Star. "We did
have bad year in many populous dis
tricts and for time there was great
deal of suffering, but it was never so
bad as painted. For many months
past, however, the Government has
had the matter well in hand, and there
is no longer any starvation. Famines
rrr not uncommon in India after a
bad year, and the Government has
long ago learned how to manage
them.
"Take our district, for instance. The
Government has its food warehouses
at convenient points from which food
is distributed daily. The matter is
managed entirely by the white men In
the district. We have a regular organ
| ization, and every one of us is COM
PEELED by law to do a certain amount
of what we call "relief duty" The
district is patrolled and the hungry
ones sought out. All who are able
visit the storehouses daily, and re-
ceive certain amount of food. OF
course there is no feasting. but the
rations served out are sufficient to
supply the actual wants of the people
and there is no actual suffering"
Mr.. Paterson has recently visited
the coffee belt of Hawaii, and is great
! ly pleased with the outlook there.
"Were | young man." he said" just
starting out in business, I would not
hesitate for moment about going in
to the coffee business on Hawaii. T
have had a great deal of experience in
the planting business, and it is my
Judgment that there is a great open
ing for a young man on Hawaii. The
successful growth of coffee there is
assured. Planters need have no fear
of trouble in handling their crop when
it is ready. Before that time the con-
ditions will be so changed that there
will be plenty of labor in the market.
The planters in the Olaa district might
greatly benefit themselves by organi-
zation. They are not rivals in busi-
ness, and an exchange of experiences
might be very beneficial"

FLESH BEGAN TO PEEL.
Exciting Tug of War Lasting Nearly
an Hour and a Half.

Four strong natives and three Por-
tuguese, employees of II. Hackfeld e.
Co., and five natives and two PortI-
guese working for the Hawaiian Car
riage Company, fought for supremacy
in a tug of war pull on Tuesday night
for one hour and twenty minutes.
The contest was won by the Hack
field employees. The pull was intensely
exciting from beginning to end. The
Carriage boys were aggressive, and had
the rope four inches to the better for
half an hour. So hard was the strain,
that the flesh began peeling off their
hands, when they were obliged to
weaken and the Hacllfeld Men quickly
pulled them over
The Carriage boys are not satisfied
and have issued a challenge for 800 a
side. The challenge will be accepted
AS yet the Honolulu foundry team
has not replied to the challenge issued
70 them by the Portuguese team.

WASHINGTON, May 25.--Col. William
Morrison, chairman of the Interstate-com-
merce Commission, was despondent to-day
over the LIBERALIZATION of the interstate
commerce law by the Supreme Court. BY
it's decision on Monday the court stripped
from the commission about the last Vestige
of authority that was left to it by previous
decisions. Chairman Morrison said: "The
Supreme Court denies the commission the
power to enforce the rates or to correct
abuses. 1t can investigate and report ir-
Irregularities when they are found but what
good will that do, so long as the author
ity to apply the remedy does not go with
the privilege of investigating the victims
of injustice and injury from such abuses
and the railroads themselves are fully cog
infant of the facts and as the limit of our
power as now defined is to ascertain and
report upon the existence of such facts
it will be readily seen that the commission
is shorn of important features Of useful
ness. 1t is for Congress to correct the law,
where it is shown to be weak and where
the way is suggested for curative legisla-
tive legislation. We do not make the laws;
we are it's creatures and can use only
such weapons as Congress puts into our
lldllCo' IL lllSSC HSdpOIlo piONC lleI1C4ueilC
for the purpose, Congress alone can pro-
vide us better ones. The commission has
been calling the attention of Congress to
defects in the law for ten years, but no
attention has been paid to the suggestions.
Whether this latest decision of the Su-
preme Court will have the effect of slim
ulating action is a purely speculative prop
osition. The railroads want a pooling bill
and will naturally attempt to carry their
point. That proposition carries with it rail-
road opposition to legislation that does not
authorize DOOling."
