In the Smoke.

The Attorney General was very
busy in the District Court this morn
ing and he was not in the very best
of temper. 1t is to he hoped that
his "ruffles" will have been smoothed
down before he makes his great
speech of the evening at the Judd
banquet to- night.
The fact is that he had taken
upon himself the task of prosecuting
the two men arrested by the Custom
House few days ago on charge of
importing opium. He reached the
laws. and ran from Herodes to Pila-
tus in an endeavor to find charge
against Hansen and Kalaukoa which
could hold water in the legal mind
of the magistrate.
He ran foul of the Port Sur
veyor and was "sat on" and he
approached the judge and was
snubbed. He gave the job up as
being a bad one and entered a
a mol. pros. and the "ring" was hap
py. 1t is rumored that the "Cus.
toms people" say that they don't
care for the release of the men as
they can put their hands on the
real guilty people uptown" when
ever they want to. 1t is safe to bet
that they will never "want to-"
The case has evidently brought out
the not unknown fact that consid-
cradle ill-feeling and jealousy exist
between the Custom House author
tiles and the Police Department. Il
the police had been left alone the
"dope" would have been received
and the men handling it beer
brought to justice. For reasons
unknown" the Custom House inter
fered and through stupidity spoiled
everything, and made the Govern
ment the laughing stock Of the
smugglers.

An interesting ''picture" case was
heard in the District Court yester-
day afternoon. Mr.. W. @. Achi
brought suit against a Photographic
gallery on Nuuanu street for the re-
covery of certain family pictures be-
longing to him and from which the
photographer had caused two en-
larged pictures to be made in San
Francisco. Mr.. Achi did not approve
of the pictures and the photograph,
er declined to return the original
until payment was made. After a
heated argument and a thorough in
spection of the enlarged pictures a
verdict was given in favor of Achi
who left the court in possession OF
the original photographs, and gener-
ously inviting the representative OF
the gallery to keep the copies and
hang them in the-well, wherever
he pleases.

A woman's Burden.

From, The Evening Netcs, Detroit, Mich
The women of to-day are not as
strong as their grandmothers. They
are bearing burden in silence that
grows heavier day by day; that is

their happiness.
Mrs. Alexander B. Clark, of ALI
Michigan Avenue, Detroit, is typi-
cal woman of to-day. A wife with
such ambition as only loving wife
can have. But the joys of her life
were marred by the existence of
disease.
Suffering as thousands OF her

SWAN WILL THROWN OUT
JUDGE HILEs DECIDES PAPER Is
NOT VALID.
Document Bore No Date and No Sig
natures of Witnesses as Required
By Law.


Judge Hiles ruled yesterday that the
paper purporting to be the last and
| Photographic will of the late George
| Swan is not entitled to be admitted to
probate under the laws of this state.
! from the fact that the document in
question bears no date and no sigma
lures of witnesses as required.
1t will be remembered that at the
time that the purported will was filed
petition accompanied 1t. signed by
I Douglas a. Swan and Thomas Hull,
! asking that a day be named for admit
ting the will to probate. or If the court
should determine that il is not a valid
testament, that they be authorized TO
administer upon the estate according to
law. Catherine T. Swan, nee White

was net mentioned in the will. joined

The estate left by George Swan is
valued at s30l5. consisting of farming
land in Davis county. worth 81, 631 20,
and bank stock and cash to the value
of 81, $3.50.
In the face of the decision OF Judge
Hiles, the widow of the decedent will be
entitled when the estate is probated,
to third share in the property left by
the deceased, whereas had the will been
admitted to probate, unless there had
been some agreement by those mentioned
in the document, Mrs. Swan would have
been excluded from the division of the
estate, as no ante-mortem nuptial con-
tract between the deceased and the
widow existed

Last July two young men by the name
of Bates were returning from fish

the Rio Grande Western track near
Ninth South one of them saw the OBJ

picked it up, saw that a giant cap
protruded from one end, and decided to
take it to the boarding house and in

until the two brothers left, when Mrs.
Ventress discovered it, She asked
the young men knew about it. Then
she put it carefully away.
Had il ever been Jared violently,
the boarding house would have been

siderably over the machine being in the
place, and spoke 10 miner living there
about it. He recognized the giant
cap, but did not feel inclined to open
it, advising the landlady to give it to
the police. Accordingly Mrs. Ventress
let her daughter take it, and she gave
it to officer Fitzmaurice. who took it
to headquarters.

Chief Hilton found it to be of the
