Important Decision in Ka.
hului Railway Case.
Injunction and Trespass Matters
Brought Up Again - Supreme
Court Other Cases.

\ decision was handed down yes
terday IN the matter OF the Kahului
Railroad Company vs.. Hawaiian Com
mercial and Sugar Co. The opinions
are written by Justice Whiting and
MeSsrs. Z. =. Dole and II. +. Weber.
of the bar. respectively. in place OF /
Chief Justice Judd disqualified and |
raised by defendants from the Circuit |
Court are overruled. The principal |
points brought out IN the opinions
are:
Case lies for malicious misuse OF pro
cess. The action OF trespass may en-
brace the circumstances which accom-
pany and give character 20 the tres
pass, irrespective OF whether or not
such circumstances might be the sub
ject of a substantive cause OF action.
Accordingly n petition Tn trespaSs
which charges the defendant with
fraudulently obtaining temporary In
Junction restraining plaintiff from In
terfering with or preventing the con-
tinuous trespasses of the defendant up
on the property OF the plaintiff. Is not
open to demurrer on the ground OF
ldupHcity OF misjoinder OF actions.
where such additional matter IS aver
red generally and by way OF aggrava-
ton. and not with such certainty and
particularly or In such manner as
to constitute a distinct substantive
lcause of action in the case
In conclusion: It follows that the
matter of procuring a temporary In
junction was set UP merely by way OF
aggravation, and does not, tn the form
averred, constitute a separate cause OF
action. This view disposes OF both
points raised by the demurrer. and OF
the questions presented in argument.
Exceptions overruled.
IN the matter of the Minister OF the
Interior VS.. the Oahu Railway and
Land Co. bill for injunction; decree
sustaining the plaintiffs bill has been
issued by the Court.

STATUS Of THE
NATIONAL GUARD
Orders Regulating the
Reorganization.
Special Dispatch to The caII.

SACRAMENTO, April 3.-Adjutant-
General Peeler has issued an order based
upon the provisions of an act of the re-
cent Legislature relative to the status of
National Guardsmen who served as vol
unteers of the United States in the war
with Spain. According to the Adjutant-
Generals order, those officers and en-
listed men belonging to the National
Guard at the outbreak Of the war and
who did not volunteer therein and whose
terms of service have not yet expired,
will report for duty with their respective
organizations and will be permitted to
serve out their terms of service, unless
sooner discharged.
The order states that those officers and
enlisted men belonging to the National
Guard at the beginning of the war and
whose terms of service have expired
since May 6, 1898, and who have been pre-
vented by conditions arising out of the
war from re-entering the National
Guard, will be permitted to re-enter the
guard, as follows:
The officers as such-if re-elected-and
the enlisted men if they re-enlist prior
to or on the date of the reporting by
their company or organization for duty
and shall have passed the required phys
ical examination.
imum number C1fty) required by law to
report for duty It's ranks may be re-
cruited UP to the requisite number Elec-
lions of officers will be ordered by the
ton has reported for duty. The time for
the re-entry into the National Guard of
the officers and members of the National
Guard of California who entered the vol
unteer service but have not yet been dis
charged therefrom will be announced in
future orders.

DUTY ON LUMBER
SHOULD REMAIN
Great Industry Needs
Protection.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

TACOMA, April 3.-United States
Senator Addison c. Foster, after spend
ing several weeks investigating in the
East and Middle West sentiment as to
the attitude of the joint high commits
sion on the lumber and coal tariffs and
the Alaska boundary question: has re-
turned to his home in this city. He
says:
i am Of the opinion that the>removal
Of the duty on lumber is one of the
most important concessions sought by
England. In fact, While the desired
port of entry to the northern gold fields
is much in demand among Canadians
and Englishmen, l rather incline to the
opinion that a satisfactory adjustment
of the lumber and coal schedules is
equally, if not more so, in demand. On
my way west 1 consulted with various
Senators and Congressman on this sub
ject and 1 find, all things considered,
that our lumber people in all parts of
the United States are inclined to yield
a little in this matter provided the tar
if on lumber, and coal, also, if possible,
could be made part of the treaty. Lum-
bering is a great industry and we could
not for a moment consider the PROPOSE
ton TO remove the tariff altogether.
THE lumbermen, as a rule, would
willingly make a reduction on the tariff
from 81 to 81 60 a thousand provided
that rate were made q part of the
treaty and thereby became permanent
as long as the treaty lasts. This would
constitute a reduction of 20 per cent in
the lumber tariff as now in force"
Senator Foster is opposed to making
reductions in the tariff on lumber on
special grades. This, in his oponion,
would not prove satisfactory and would
be certain to result in abuses of the
privileges granted. He strongly favors
the joint high commission, or, at least,
the American members thereof, visiting
the Pacific Northwest and making
trip of inspection to Alaska. He has
already invited a number of friends to
the coast and believes much more rea-
sonable and just terms could be agreed
upon if the memb ers of the commission
were thoroughly posted by personal
inspection regarding the conditions eX-
listing here and in Alaska.
Senator Foster urges the policy of
expansion as being part of the COM
mercial necessities of the age. He
holds that the United States must ex-
pand commercially TO hold its place
with the great powers of the world and
that the Orient is the only great field
for EXPANSION of this kind

CALLS UPON FILIPIN0S
TO LAY DOWN ARMS

MANILA, April 4.-The Philippine
Commission, which is composed of
Colonel Charles DENLY, Professor J. G.
Schurman of Cornell University and
Professor Dean c. Worcester has is
sued a proclamation to the residents of
the island calling upon them to lay
down their arms and follow peaceful
avocations. An extract from the pub
LEGATION is as follows;
In the meantime the attention of the
Philippine people is invited to certain
regulative principles by which the United
States will be guided in its relations with
them. Following are deemed Of cardinal
Importance:
First-The supremacy of the United
States must and will be enforced through
out every part of the archipelago and
those who resist it can accomplish no end
other than their own ruin.
Second-Most ample liberty of self-gov-
eminent will be granted to the Philip
pine people which is reconcilable with
the maintenance of a wise, just, stable,
effective and economical administration
Of public affairs and compatible with the
sovereign and international rights an0
obligations Of the United states
Third-Ciyil rights of the Philippine peo-
pie will be guaranteed and protected to
the fullest extent, religious freedom as
sured and all persons shall have equal
standing before the law.
Fourth-HonOr, justice and friendship
forbid the use Of the Philippine people or
islands as object or means of 'exploita-
ton. The purpose of the American Gov
eminent is the welfare and advancement
of the Philippine people.

BoNNEAU INDICATED.

SAN RAFAEL, April 3.-The prophecy
that ex-County Clerk Bonneau would re-
ceive a vindication on the allegation of
defalcation in Office at the hands of the
Board of Supervisors was fulfilled to-
day. Individually the board scoffed at
the thought that a man who had cred
itably filled the position of County Clerk
for fourteen years would descend to the
taking of a paltry 1923 out of the treas
ury and take thirteen years in which to
do it. The attention Of the board was
drawn to the matter by a communication
from District Attorney McIsaac contain
ing the fact as published.
Mr.. Bonneau was on hand and told how
the discrepancies occurred. He said the
law required all marriage certificates to
be recorded within thirty days after the
ceremony and its non-observance led to
the trouble. County Clerk Graham GER
titled that Mr.. Bonneau had had the books
exported and made good me shortage.
The board placed all documents on file
and dropped the case at'once. Chairman
Barr said after the session that Bon
neau's explanation was fully satisfactory
and the circumstances warranted the
matter being pushed no farther.

AMERICANS IN NEED OF
PROTECTION AT BLUEFiELDS

NEW YORK, April "a New OrleanJ
special to the Sun says: AT a meeting held
this evening by the New Orleans mer-
chants engaged in the Central American
trade, E. H. Merrick and Mr.. Steinhart
of the Bluefields Banana Company and
Julius Friedlander of the New Orleans
and Central American Trading Company
were appointed a committee to go to
Washington to lay before the President a
statement of the condition of affairs in
Nicaragua and to ask him to send a man
of-war thither and intervene for the pro-
lection of American interests. The com
mttee left for Washington soon after the
meeting.
The meeting was held in consequence
of cable dispatch received from Blue
fields. Nicaragua. via Port Limon, Costa
Rica, to which place it was taken BY
water in order to escape the censorship
of the Nicaraguan Government. The dis
patch said that General Torres, Governor
of the coast province, had made a de-
mand on American merchants and steam
snip companies for payment a second
time of all customs duties paid by them
TO the de facto government during the
recent revolution In case of refusal. he
announced that he would take military
possession of all American stores and
hold them. The American merchants pro-
test to the United States against this ac-
ton as ruinous to interests representing
millions of dollars of investment.
