GIVEN ANOTHER CHANCE
The Supreme Court Can Now Re-
verse It's Ruling.
A STATE CASE ON TRIAL
A Question of the Defendants Reputa.
tion-Witness Was Not Competent
to Testify-Held It Was Not
Good Evidence.

Judge Clancy yesterday reversed the
supreme court, or rather did not agree
with a ruling made by that body, and
said he would give the supreme court
judges another chance. A state case
was on trial in which the defendants
reputation was in question. A witness
on the stand testified that he had never
heard the defendants reputation ques-
toned, and in fact knew nothing about
it. The court ruled that unless the
witness knew the defendant in the
neighborhood where he lived and knew
what his neighbors and associates said
about him he was not competent to tes-
tify. The courts attention was called
to the fact that the supreme court in
the Shafer case had ruled that it was
competent to show that the witness
knew the defendant and had never
heard his reputation questioned.
Judge Clancy said that was not good
evidence. He said it was of a negative
pregnant character, like four men be-
ing in a room and three testifying that
they heard the clock tick and the fourth
declaring that he had not heard it. The
fact that the fourth did not hear it
was not evidence that the clock did not
tick.
The supreme court has held, and
modern law writer's say that the best
evidence of a mans good character is
the fact that it is not discussed but,
Judge Clancy also cited authorities
which hold that there must be positive
evidence on the question, Judge Clany's
favorite rule being that mans reputa-
ton was what the people of his neigh
borhood said about him, and by neigh
borhood he has held that it included
only those people who knew each other,
or, as he has said, who borrow dish
rags from each other and visit back
and forth. In concluding his talk on
the subject yesterday he said:
"Ill just give that supreme court an

DEAD MAN FOUND.
Disappeared From Divide While He Wa
Intoxicated.


Yesterday morning E. L. Sabin. who
lives at Divide, while out cutting ice,
had occasion to visit a deserted cabin
near the river and was Mortified at dis
covering the remains of man that had
evidently been there for months. The
body was that of man about 60 years
of age. He was of slight build and sharp
features, light complexion, thin, close
cropped gray hair and gray mustaCile
The two windows of the cabin had been
taken out, but the door was intact The
mutilated remains laid on the back, the
legs and feet enveloped in a blanket
with one disfigured foot protruding The
front of the body from the waist up
was bare, the clothing having been torn
off. The sight was a Sickening one
Coyotes, cats or magpies had attacked
the body and eaten the flesh until the
ribs were completely exposed. The
stomach and entrails had all been eaten
away and the nose and ears and the
right hand had been partially eaten. In
spite of the length of time it had been
there the body was in a good state of
preservation.
The coroner was notified and an in
quest was held at Wunderlich's hotel
last night. In addition to the facts re-
lating to the finding of the body, it
was identified by Patrick A. Lillis as
that of Charles A. Bracken, a carpen-
ter, who had been at and about Divide
for a week or more last November and
who had disappeared the latter part Of
that month or early in December. He
had at the time drunk considerably and
had not eaten anything. Bracken was
a native of Iowa, but beyond that he
knew nothing of him except that he was

A Booming Finale.

Yesterday morning about $50 o'clock
Officer Schmidt was attracted to Rem
shaw hall by the loud report of pis-
tol. He found that John Ljubibratich,
who had attended the Servian ball. had
fired his pistol into the air just to put
booming finale on the festivities of
the evening. The officer demonstrated
with the alderman, who grew indignant
when told that misdemeanor had been
committed. The officer gives as his
reason for not arresting Ljubibratich
the fact that the offender was an al
derman, and besides he did not want to
bring the affair to a disgraceful issue.

HELD UP AT THE
POINT OF A PISTOL
Advertising Manager Joselyn of the
Emporium Robbed by Footpads
of M or1e11 and Trinlo+c

w. E. Joslyn, advertising manager of
the Emporium, was waylaid by two foot
pads shortly after midnight Saturday and
at the point of pistol compelled to sur
render the sum of s62 so and a number of
trinkets. He reported the robbery to the
police last night and Detective Silvey is
searching for the daring criminals.
Mr.. Joslyn stated that he was on his
way to his residence at 82S Powell street,
and while climbing the hill between Pins
and California streets was startled by
two men jumping out of dark door
way and ordering him to give up his val
uables.
The attack was so sudden that Mr..
Joslyn had no chance to resist. With a
pistol within an inch of his nose the VIC
tim handed over a small sum, but one of
the robbers heard the click of his purse
clasp and compelled him TO give 1t up.
The robbers were scared by some peo-
ple passing on California street, and they
ordered Mr. Joslyn to climb the hill. Only
too glad to escape, the latter moved rap
idly up the street, and when he turned
around to see If they were still there he
was warned by one of them to get out of
sight or he would put bullet through
him.
Mr.. Joslyn described the men as being
tall and short. The .all man wore red
handkerchief on the lower part of his
face and the short man white one. The
former was attired In a dark suit and
wore a white fedora nat. The short man
had a long overcoat that reached to his

GREATER HARBOR
FOR HONOLULU
Plan to Utilize Kalihi
Lagoon.
9A-%-<-@>-@-%H%-3A% {
Special Correspondence of The Call.

HONOLULU, April 1.-An important
greater harbor scheme is being quietly
promoted by private enterprise. 1t is to
make new harbor Of Kalhi Lagoon,
connecting it with the old harbor of
Honolulu by a canal a mile and a half
long and 30 feet wide. There would be
no trouble in making it wider afterwaro
by cutting away more Of the reef on the
seaward side. Seven or eight trial bOr-
ings have been made in the route Of the
proposed channel. Nothing more formid-
able for a dredge to encounter than soft
coral, In strata averaging less than
fathom, has been discovered. For the
rest the bottom is composed of clay, mud
and sand. The borings are from twenty
TO thirty-five feet in depth and at dis
tance of between 500 and 1000 feet apart
Surveys of Kalihi Lagoon, which COW
ers fully as great an area as Honolulu
harbor, reveal soundings in places deep
enough for any vessel a1oat, while the
bottom is of soft material easily eXCa-
waited with a suction dredge.
1t is 10 the land proposition that the
promoters look for their reward. There is
an area of $50 or 400 acres abutting on
the lagoon. This is as fiat as a billiard
table and would be just right for ware
houses, lumber yards, coal sheds and
factories Besides this land, it is com
puted that $50 acres may be reclaimed
by depOslting on the reef the dredgings
from the canal excavations. Most of this
reclaimable land is now bare at low
tide.
Princes David Kawananakoa and Cupid
KalanlanaOle are the owners of the Ka-
iihi harbor frontage. 1t is their money
that is being expended in these prelim-
mary operations. The scheme is not a
new one, nor may 1t be secuted as vision
airy. Long before the princes came into
the gift of the landed estate of their
aunt, Queen Dowager Kapiolani, the Ka-
lihi basin was regarded by practical men
as the natural relief obtanable, when
ever the necessity arose, for a congested
condition of the port of Honolulu.
Major Lang1tt has called a public
meeting of the board of officers appointed
by the Secretary of War to establish har-
Dor lines for the harbor of Honolulu.
The board consists of Major Langfitt
Captain Rickon and Captain Springett,
United States Volunteer Engineers.
a special meeting of the EXECUTIVE
Council was held in President Dole s
chamber this forenoon for the adoption
of a plan to submit to the board. The
scheme adopted takes in wharf exten-
sions on which the Government was
about beginning work. Beyond the site
of the two slips acquired by the United
States Government and seaward from
the harbor mouth, the plan extends TO
the proposed marine park adopted by the
Legislature, abutting upon the outer
passage.
