A BRUTE.

Lum Look, Chinese merchant, has
been arrested on a charge of assault
and battery on 10-year-old girl, and
the facts in the case show what a
brute he is. The Chinese had pur-
chased the girl for a house servant.
She did not perform the duties as
signed her to her masters satisfaction,
so he tied her hands together with a
rope passed around her wrists so
tightly that it cut deep into the flesh.
The child was injured so severely that
another Chinese informed on him at
the Police Station. Captain Parker or
dered the masters arrest. The child
has been placed in home. San LUX
has been released on 500 bail.
Lum Look was sentenced by Po-
lice Judge Wilcox this afternoon to
three months at hard labor in Oahu
prison. The verdict was popular
one.

At few moments of the noon hour
today the jury in the manslaughter
cases against Hickey and Chalmers,
Lunas on the Hakalalau plantation,
charged with assaulting a Chinese Ia
borer named Lee Man Chit, infiicting
injuries which caused his death, re,
tired.
1t was general surprise to all about
come to such speedy end.
General A. S. Hartwell made the ar
guments for the prosecution and Paul
Neumann spoke for the defense.
Judge Carter's instructions to the
jury were that if the jurymen should
believe one of the defendants guilty
and the other innocent, verdict to
that effect could be returned.
Up to $3.50 o'clock this afternoon the
jury had not reported.
ID. Mckenzie, keeper of the store on
Hallalou plantation, stated that he
had seen Lee Man Chit, the Chinese
laborer alleged to have died from the
wounds inflicted by Hickey, the even
ing he was brought to the store. He
examined him and saw no external
signs of violence on his body.
H. d. Beveridge, who has worked
on different plantations as a field
hand, was in the store at the time
Lee Man Chit was brought in by his
countrymen. He looked at the mans
body at the same time as did Store
keeper Mckenzie. He saw no bruises.
d. Ogilvy, a team foreman, testified
that he saw Lee Man Chit and did not
believe he was injured.
The testimony of Manager Ross and
Bookkeeper H. V. Patten was to the
effect that the murdered man was
brought to the plantation Office on the
evening of the alleged assault. They
saw no external bruises. After a
careful examination of the man, Man
ager Ross told the Chinese to take
him back and he would send a doctor
over in the morning. On the road
back the Chinese claimed that Lee
Man Chit died.
Joe Santiago is a Portuguese Luna,
and he told the Court that he stood
within five yards of where Lee Man
Chit lay when Luna Chalmers rode up
on horseback. Chalmers made no as
sault whatever upon the Chinaman.
Chalmers denied to the Court that
he abused the man when he ran across
him in the afternoon.
Hickey took the stand and admitted
that he had slapped Lee Man Chit
with the cane knife and had taken
him by the collar of his shirt and had
shaken him. Hickey says that the
man had been soldering all morning.
He had been placed at work lifting
light cane, but he continued to sham.
Asked whether he was i'll, Hickey said
the mans nose was bleeding that
morning and he had seen him fall
down earlier in the day.
DR.. Cooper was on the stand for a
brief time to give expert testimony.

THEY WERE NOT PROPERLY
ASSESSED.
Government VIII Now Fight the Priu-
cipal Plantations on the Big Island
in the Higher Court.

The very briefest news came by The
Mauna Loa this noon to the effect
that the sugar plantations on Hawaii
have won over the Government in the
Tax Appeal cases.
The tax appeal cases have created
considerable interest in Hlo during
the hearing. They have been tried
before Judge Hitchcock. Judge Bar
nard and Judge Philip Peck. Atto,-
ney w. A. Kinney represented the
plantations and Gardner X. Wilder
defended the government tax assessor.
1t is known that thirteen cases were
brought before the board, including
the plantations of Paauhau, Honakaa.
Hakaluu, Oookala, Waiakea, Wainaltu,
Kukuihaele, Papaikou, Kohala. Ono
mea, Pahala, Honomu and Naalehu.
The Government will certainly car
ry the cases to the higher court.
Nothing was learned whether the
Court had determined on the appeal
cases in the matter of coffee lands.
Frank Winter, who objects to tax
ing coffee lands, made a strong fight
before the board.

ORDERS FOR NEGROES.
e. A. Gardner Will Leave Tomorrow
for the Coast.

e. A. Gardner, the San Francisco
man who brought to the sugar plant
ers here proposition to supply them
with negroes in the fields to displace
Oriental labor, will leave for the Coast
on the Australia tomorrow. He has
secured orders for about fifty families
including a number to be employed
as domestic servants. The planters
have not shown the eagerness to ac-
cept Mr.. Gardner's proposition that
he anticipated, but he is well satisfied
he says, for he is assured that the
families he brings down will give so
much better satisfaction in every line
of employment than the Chinese and
Japanese, that the first order will lead
to other larger orders. During Mr..
Gardeners absence from the Islands,
Watson j. Wyman, formerly news
paper correspondent, will represent
him here.

MACE TELLS HIS STORY.
Attorney Would Take Fees Out of
the Judgment.

While the Wakefield and Wise mis-
conduct cases were on trial before the
Supreme Court last week, Mace, the
sailor from the Indiana, who was ar
rested for attempting to sink the ship,
gave testimony against the Hilo at
torneys.
Mace said that he had no money
and so informed his counsel He in
quired of them how he was to pay
them for their services. The reply
was that he had a good case for dam
ages against the Government and the
United States Consular Agent at Hiio,
and that they would get their fee out
of the judgment he would secure.
Other spicy testimony was given.
The Supreme Court now has the mat.
ter under consideration. A decision
is looked for this week.
