ACCEPTED BY REGISTRARS THIS
MORNING.
Tome Abe, Japanese Policeman, Gets in
on Special Rights Papers and Ger
tifcate of Supreme Court.

One full blooded japanese will vote
in the election next fall for senators
and representatives. He applied at the
office of the board this morning for reg
istration There was some head scratch
ing among the registrars, and thor
ough investigation, but the little brown
man met every question with proof
positive of his qualifications to register
and to vote.
The man is Toma Abe, Japanese po-
liceman. His right to vote comes in
under the service" clause of the Con-
stitution. Toma served with the pres.
ent government in the revolution OF
1898 and outbreak in 1885 Up to July
4, 1894, he had been in constant support
of the Provisional Government, FOR
which he was, under the Constitution,
given certificate of special rights Of
citizenship
Toma did not try to register in 1896,
anticipating some objection and trou-
BILE about it; but made up his mind then
that he would try it this year. Another
thing that hurried him up is a desire he
has had for years to become an Amer
ican citizen Toma cut his nationality
long ago, and has been heard more
than once to tell his countrymen that
he was not Jap but an American.
Early in the present year he took the
new oath to support the Constitution
and laws of both the United States and
Hawaii. Then he applied to the Su-
preme court for a certificate that he
was entitled to vote. This morning
Toma laid before Registrar Fred Oat
the following declarations signed by
Chief Justice Judd and sealed with the
seal of the Supreme court
BE it remembered that on the 9Th
day of January, 1899, Toma Abe an
alien, and late a subject or citizen of
Japan, applied in writing to a justice
of the Supreme court to be admitted n
citizen of the Republic of Hawaii pur-
suant to the Constitution thereof i'm re-
latiOn thereto and it appearing by the
said application and by other satisfac-
tory proofs that he has procured from
the Minister of Interior a certificate of
service, emitting him to be naturalized
without further qualification, and the
said Toma Abe having on the 5th day
of January. 1899, taken and subscribed
to the oath required by the Constitution
before George Lucas, clerk of the SUI
preme court.
Therefore l do admit the said Toma
Abe and declare him to be a citizen o!
the Republic of Hawaii"
This settled the matter so far as the
Board of Registration was concerned
and the man was duly registered.
From a careful perusal of all infor-
nation now accessible it is believed
that Toma is the only japanese in the
Islands who may register this year un.
der Hawaiian laws. There was another
employe of one of the departments, but
he is now in Japan.

ONE JAPANESE WILL VOTE ASK ONLY EQUAL RIGHTS /
NEW RAILWAY PROMOTERS
STATE THEIR POSITION.
Assert That They Offer Better Assur-
ances of Actual Railway Corstruc-
tion Than the Other Company.

"All we want" said w. ]. Browne, one
of the promoters of the newest railway
project on Hawaii, the Hilo and Homo
lulu Railway, "is equal rights with the
Hilo Railway Company and we offer
better assurances that we actually in
tend to build. Our purpose Is to build
and operate a railroad. 1t is true we
have asked for other powers. But we
only asked for those powers which the
other road had asked for.
But what we ask for is the right to
build a railroad. If our request is re-
fused on the grounds put forward in
objection to it, it will in effect be to
make the other company's charter ex-
elusive for the whole Island of Hawaii
for fifty years, with no obligation on
them to build the road, but only to use
their best endeavors. In other words
they will be given the absolute power
to build railroads or not as they see fit,
for fifty years and the people and prop
erty of the Island of Hawaii will be alb
solutely in their power, so far as rail-
roads are concerned for that period.
They ask for the whole Island of
Hawaii we ask the right to build rail-
roads in three districts only.
What do they bind themselves to do?
They bind themselves to locate their
road in sections not exceeding thirty
miles in length-they may not be more
than a mile in length-and within two
years after the approval of the location
of each section to make a substantial
beginning, and within five years to
complete twenty-five per cent of the
section thus located. If they fail they
forfeit nothing but the location of that
particular section, and can Immediately
relocate, and may relocate on part of
the old location. So that under their
charter they could spend the whole fifty
t,Aila of
keeping others from building roads II
there is to be a denial of our applica-
tion on the theory of parallel roads.
I'VE ask for the right to build road
from Hilo to Kawaihae or some other
sea port in Kohala. We will locate the
entire line within year after the con-
tract with the Minister of the Interior
is signed submit the location for ap-
proVal and complete and have the en-
| tire line in operation within three years
| after the location is approved. If we
| fail, we forfeit everything. If they fail
| they forfeit nothing.
"By opposing us they are asking for
| an exclusive franchise that will enable
! them to tie up railroad building on Ha-
! waii for fifty years. We do not ask fol
! an exclusive franchise. The charter we
ask for will not enable US to tie up rail-
road building for a minute, and guar
I antees a railroad within three years oil
| the forfeiture of all our rights.
Much has been said about parable
| lines. For the sake of argument grant
all that has been said. The promoters
and not the public are the ones who
| will suffer. Then grant that
| they have ordered supplies. They have
ordered them for the Olaa line where
| they have surveys and not for the dis
| tricts we propose to traverse, where
! they have no surveys"

OTHER MURDER HEARINGS
JURIES WANTED FOR TWO MORE
IN KAHUKU CASE.
Men Tried This Week Are Charged
With Two or More Murders Each.
Civil Business in Chambers.

The Kahuku murder cases are not
through with by any means. Only the
first of three sections has been disposed
of. Early next week another case will
come on. 1t may last a week. Then
the third will be called and heard.
The matter can be explained i'm this
way: Three Cinnamon were killed in
the riot at Kahuku. Each death is to
be considered separately. The Japan
esefried the other day appeared on the
charge of killing one man. They may
be arraigned again, of course, for kill
ing either one or both of the other two
men.
Some of the defendants will be charg
ed on all three cases while the others
will be required to answer to two of the
charges. 1t will be possible, for in
stance, for Ihara to be convicted of
murder in the first degree two and per-
haps three times. ct does not follow,
however, that he will be hung two or
three times). Before the case is fin
ished either of the men convicted of
manslaughter, may be found guilty of
murder in the remaining charges. If
all are released upon the remaining
charges, the sentences Will remain as
upon the original ones.
In Circuit chambers this morning a
demurrer was filed by defendants in the
case of Hama. Uni Kakailani and the
Lahaina Coffee and Fruit Company
The cause of action is denied on the
ground that the facts stated do not sub
stantiate it and also that a part of the
complaint is vague and indefinite.
Charles Creighton has retired as at
torney for the plaintiff from the case of
Kanakahi VS.. j. A. Low, false impris-
onment. and w. A. Henshall has been
selected in his stead.
The following appeals from the Cir
cult court have come down from Kau-
al. BY plaintiff in the matter of the the

ant and won. \ second case is that of

vention. Efforts are being made to ar
range a special rate Of fare for those
desrous of going.

tions

peCted that they will do a great deaf

MORE OF THEM USED.

There are probably more Singer sew
ing machines used in the United States
than of any other one make, This is a
very excellent guarantee that they are
one of the very best machines. The
points of merit are strength, durabil-
ity easy running and simple construc-
ton. Very little mechanism to get out
of order makes repair bills small.

chine examine the Singer before pur-
chasing any other make. B. Berger
