on the other hand testified that James
Sherwood brought the beer out wrap
ped in paper and put the same on the
table. He took the bottles and placed
them in the front part OF the carriage.
Attorney Creighton dwelt at great
length on this point.
Another point was indicated as being
a very important one in the summary
OF the case. Conley swore that he
could identify the bottles which NE
had purchased from Sherwood. He
got them on Saturday night, and did
not mark them until the following
Monday morning. He swore also that
he had marked them in the presence
of Gus Cordes, which that officer de-
MED on the stand.
Attorney Creighton called attention
to the fact that in the material points
of the case the two informers, Conlcy
and st. Clair should agree. All mat
tiers should have been arranged be-
fore going 10 the place. AS il was they
had differed on the material points Of
the case. He did not mind the slight
discrepancies in telling of the CONVEX
sation that took place at Long Branch,
since even among the very best of de-
tectiyes two men never were able 10
relate
At this point the Court adjourned
until after lunch.
On resuming his argument Attorney
Creighton said he believed there was
a reasonable doubt as to the guilt of
the defendant. There had been a job
set up on him by the two principal
witnesses for the prosecution. He then
asked that the Court find defendant
mot guilty" and discharge him.
In beginning his remarks the Mar
shall objected to the language used
against ConIey by counsel for the de-
tense. In regard to the charge made
against him that he deserted from a
man-of-war, he could see no offense
in this whatsoever. 1t was against the
rules of the navy but was not an Of
Tense so far as he could see. Conley
had been ordered by the Marshal to
do a certain piece of work, and he did
it A police officers calling was I'M
doubtedly a lowly one, but that did
not prevent him from being just as
good a man as those in higher call
ings There was absolutely no evil
dence brought out to show that Con-
ley and St Clair had "set up job
on Sherwood. In their testimony Con-
ley and st. Clair did not differ greatly
in the material points. Upon first be-
ing questioned as to the purchase of
the beer, Conley had expressed doubt,
and upon being pushed for an answer
by counsel for the defense, had said
that he was the one who obtained the
beer from Sherwood, and that he him
self gave the same to st. Clair. The
testimony of the two men was sutfi-
cient to show that the two bottles CT
beer had been purchased from James
Sherwood.
After summing up the case in few
words Judge De La Vergne found de-
PENDANT guilty and sentenced him 10
pay a fine of $500 and costs.
Appeal noted.

HALLEY's COMET COMING BACK

HaIley's comet is coming back-the
comet which in the year 1866 shed
celestial splendor over the Norman
conquest and whose terror-insplrlng
visit was commemorated by the hand
of Queen Matilda in the BayeauX tap
estry, says the Providence Journal;
the comet that in 1856, the year of the
battle of Belgrade, scared the Turk
and Christian alike and was anathe-
matized by a bull from the Pope; the
comet whose strange, scimiter form
still chilled the marrow of the ignor-
ant and superstitious at its latest re-
turn in 1885. 1t is yet far away, but
the eye of science sees 1t, already
rushing sunward and earthward with
constantly increasing velocity as it
falls along the steep curve of its orbit.
And a call to arms, call for prepare
ton, has just been issued from one
of the chief watch towers of astrono-
my Professor Glasenapp announces
that the computing bureau established
by the Russian Astronomical Society
has undertaken the calculation of the
true path of Halley's comet with
view 10 lAlS CAeiCL heiNN VI
the next return. He hopes that as
tronomers acquainted with unpub-
lished observations of the comet will
communicate the information to the So
ciety. After it's perihelion the comet
was watched retreating out into space
until May, 1886, when it was finally
swallowed from sight, 1t will be in
perihelion again about 1911, but with
the great telescopes now in existence,
and the greater ones that may then
have been constructed, il is probable
that the comet will be detected COM
ing sunward a year or more earlier
than that. The fact that the labor of
computing the precise time of it's re-
turn is already about to begin gives
assurance that the next time it will
not be a question Of how many days,
but rather of how many hours, or even
minutes, the calculations will be in
error.

WAS FOUND GUILTY
lanes Sherwood of Long
Branch Fined 5000.
Attorney Creighton DwelIs on Dis
crepancy Between Statements
of two Prosecution Witnesses.

The case of James Sherwood OF
Long Branch was continued in the
police court at 10 a m yesterday and
after the testimony of Prof. Lyons and
George Sea, clerk at the police station
Gus Cordes was recalled to testify to
a few points that had not been fully
handled on the day previous.
The first witness for the defense was
W. c.. Black who testified to his being
at Long Branch at the same time with
Patterson and Gallagher when Conley
and St. Clair made their appearance.
+. A. Patterson gave about the same
testimony as Black
Then came the argument on the case.
Attorney Creighton started out with
the fact that the warrant had been
sworn to before the offense was COM
mitted. ConIey went out TO the place
of lanes Sherwood at the orders Of the
Marshal and took along with him the
soldier St. Clair with whom he had TO
preyfous acquaintance. The main
poiut of discrepancy between the testi-
mony of Conley and st. Clair was
when they spoke regarding the pur-
chase of the two bottles of beer and
the transfer of the same TO the buggy
outside. Conley testified that he had
obtained the beer from Sherwood, had
given the same TO St. Clair, who in
turn took II and put into the buggy,
just where he could not say. 81. Clalr

Decision in Bishop Estate Matters
by Chief Justice Judd.
ANSWER FILED IN THE SCOTT CASE
Verdict In the Clark Case Set
Aslde-Thon VS.. Klemme
Verdict Stands.

Chief Justice Judd rendered decis-
ion yesterday On the appeal of the
trustees of the Bishop estate from the
master on a matter Of trust funds, de-
fning the same. The Court is salts
fed that the charge of commissions On
the $50, 900, brought by the High School
premises on Emma street was proper.
'This sum was paid to the bank Of
Bishop & Co. TO settle an overdratt
which was used in building the Ka-
mehameha School for Girls, directed to
be established by the will of the late
Mrs. b. p. Bishop. 1t is just the same
as if the premises had been sold, and its
avails applied directly to the building
of the school. There is, therefore, a
final payment of this fund. 1t has
been converted into buildings and
forms a part of the trust property.
"As to the charge of commissions
upon the gross receipts of the Moli-
kai ranch, / adopt the masters view
that only the net receipts are charge
able with commissions. The ranch Is
a separate property which pays out of
agement / do not think that, if it
was run at a loss and had no money
out of the trust funds for it's support,
as for instance to replace its livestock.
III the SIS 900 gross receipts have imme-
diately upon their receipt by the trus-
tees the character of trust funds, then
they must all be treated as such and
be devoted to the purposes OF the
trust
The overcharge found by the mas
ter, and sustained by the Court,
amounts to $413.05. II. Holmes for
trustees.
Answers in the suit of NJ. F. Scott
and Nettie l.. Scott VS.. Mrs. z. n. Pr
lipo, bill for partition, are coming III.
A remarkable feature of this suit is
that there are 129 distinct defendants.
So many summons had to be issued
that they were printed for use in the
case The lands involved are situated
on Hawaii.
The Supreme Court has decided Re
public of Hawaii VS.. Charles II. Clarke,
carrying concealed weapons, appeal
from District Court. The conviction
OF the defendant by the District Mag
istrate is quashed, on the following
ground: "A license TO possess, carry
and use firearms under Chapter 80,
Laws of 1896, produced by one charged
with the offense of carrying a deadly
weapon, to-wit: a pistol, under Chap
ter 81, Penal Code, is a justification
and an authorization by law for such
carrying of the deadly weapon and a
good defense to the charge"
The matter of w. III. Thone VS.. G.
KIemme was decided. This is suit
for damages for malicious prosecution
,,pon which the Circuit Court awarded
1920. Defendant appealed. The Court
finds no reason for setting aside the
verdict as being contrary to the evil
dence and overrules tie exceptions
Davis for plaintiff; Thurston & Stan
ley for defendant.
Appeal to the Circuit Court has been
perfected in the assumpsit matter OF
Ordway & Porter VS.. e. a. Williams.
The District Magistrate found Tor
plaintiffs in the sum of $247.35, being
the original bill and costs.

MEASURING THE EARTH.

The longest distance ever encompassed
by the human vision, it appears, is 1873
miles, between the Uncompaghra peak,
IN Colorado, and Mount Ellen, Utah.
This feat was accomplished by the sur
veyors of the United States coast and
geodetic survey. who are now engaged,
in conjunction with representatives of
other nations, in making a new measure
ment of the earth. The observers of the
Pacific coast have been able to signal
from Mount Shasta to Mount Helena, a
distance of 100 miles, hut have never
been able to get response. Between
the other two peaks communication has
been continuous for an hour or more on
several occasions. The Uncompaghra
is $4,000 feet in height, while Mount
Ellen is 10 400 feet. The longest dis
lance that the human eye ever reached
until this record was made was between
Algiers and Spain, lGS miles.
The measuring of the earth, which is
now going on, is no simple job. The
width of the ocean can only be ascer-
tanned by astronomical observations.
The observers at Greenwich and at
Washington note each night the exact
moment of the rising of certain stars,
and then, by mathematical calculation,
turn the difference in time into distance.
This is corrected and corroborated by
other observations upon other stars, and
by a series of experiments, which fur
nish an average that is approximately
accurate. The difference is seldom more
than small fraction of second and is
attributed to atmospheric phenomena.
The Pacific ocean is measured in sim
liar manner by Joint observations by the

Lick telescope in California and that of
the Imperial university of Japan at
Tokyo.
The distance across the United States
is found to be 2,625.2 geographical miles
from the lighthouse, six miles north of
Cape May, New Jersey, to the light
house six miles south of Punta Arenas,
following the 39th parallel of latitude as
closely as possible. This is conceded to
be about the mean breadth Of the coun-
try A glance at the map will show
that the United States is much wider
toward the north and much narrowed
toward The gulf coast, but the 39th
parallel is about as fair an average as
can be drawn. The measurements were
made by riangulation-that is, by talk
ing observations from fixed landmarks
and verifying them by astronomical
tests. The distance across the continent
thus obtained is 40 feet longer than
that reported by Bessels in 1856, and
nnety-eight feet longer than that re-
ported by Prof. Clark in 1866. 1t has
also been discovered that the radius of
the equator is twenty-six and ne-half
miles greater than when the earth was
last measured. This is attributed to
errors in former calculations and defec-
tive instruments, rather than to any ma
teral change In the globe. There has
been very great improvement in scieDtl-
fic apparatus during the last few years,
both as to accuracy and convenience.
The instruments now are so much SUI
perior in every respect to those employed
thirty years ago that more confidence
may be placed in the results of the re-
cent surveys Burlington Daily News.

A DOUBTFUL FOREIGN MISSION.

The three commissioners appointed
by the president to visit Europe and
drum up supporters for the cause of
international bjmetallism are at bottom
believers in free silver coinage without
waiting for any other nation. Both
Senator Wolcott and Adlai Stevenson
have voted for free silver, and Stevenson
himself has also been a greenbacker.
Only one of the three has a consistent re-
publican record. Charles j. Paine is
more after the Francis 5. Walker kind Of
silver man, but his public duties have
never before placed him where mature
principles was called for. His brother,
Robert Treat Paine, is in favor of free
silver and so are others of his associates.
Gen. Paine is Boston bred. Gen.
Horace Porter's brilliant saying-"Bos-
ton is not a city: it is state of the
mind" prompts the remark that Paine
is not a politician; he is a free silver
symptom. Paine has picked up bimetal-
lism: Mckinley has picked up Paine and
Boston psychology must do the rest,
while the country fingers over the de-
veloping process.
When Senator Wolcott went abroad
last year on his tour of discovery he was
conveyed by Gen. Paine. The latter
was well-known, especially in England,
as the owner of those bounding single
stickers, the Puritan, the Mayflower and
the Volunteer, and he introduced VOL
colt to European bankers and officials
as best he could. He became such an
adept in the art of making 60 cents in
silver appear to be equal to 100 cents in
gold that the senator from Colorado
urged upon the president his appoint
ment as one of the ENJOYS to the finan.
cial centers of the Old World on the mis-.
sion of bimetallism, Paine is now IN a
particularly profound state of mind; so
are the honest money men of this coun-
try in respect to the blmetallc commits
sion. The best that can be said of it is
that it can do no harm Rutland

to make a motion or to utter a word to
the assembly of which they are MEM
bers." Naturally being one of the
ninety he thinks legislative body COM
posed of ninety czars is better than one
ruled by single autocrat In the chair,
and he volunteers the opinion that If the
principles that govern the house were
applied to the other end of the capitol
free government would not long endure.
Then he pays his respects to those who
criticise the senate, celebrating the idea
that they are chronic faultfinders and
pessimists and that the Judgment they
mete out to the senate is no more severe
than what they pass upon all our insti-
tutions.
There is little exception to be taken to
any of Mr.. Hoar's propositions. We
have yet to discover any evidence that
he and his associates do not use the
public patronage for their own advan-
tage, just as far as they possibly can ;
but beyond this he is right. Whoever
has studied the history of congress
knows that the habits and manners of
congressman have greatly improved, and
we can readily believe that as a rule
these public servants work harder ow
than they did formerly, If for no other
reason because they have a great deal
more to do. Fifty years ago there were
no pensions and few appropriations to
be asked for and if there had been, the
congressman, when he was once located
in Washington, was practically out of
reach of his constituents. Now light
ming trains and telegraphs keep him in
constant communication with them and he
is obliged to keep busy in response to
their demands. Government problems
are larger and much more numerous now
than they were when the country was
small and it is very determined and
skilful shirk who can get a congress
mans salary without earning it. The
senate rules and practices, bad as they
are, are not as outrageous as those of
the house aud the pessimists and growl-
ers are a bad lot Mirror and Farmer.
