CONTEMPT.
The w OrcesteI'
Case.
SUPREME COURT
Afirms the Finding Of the
Lower Court.

Boston, Jan. 4-The full bench de-
cision given today in the case of the
two Worcester papers, the Gazette and
the Telegram, charged with contempt,
which affirmed the finding of the lower
court, defined what constitutes con-
tempt of court in a newspaper, and
what action may be taken against the
offender in the premises.
The supreme court holds that a cor
poration may be liable criminauy for
certain offenses such as the one in ques-
ton and adds: 1.-THE publication of an
article in a newspaper printed and cir
culated in the place where a trial is
had, pending the trial, and which con-
Germs the cause on trial, and is calcu-
lated to prejudice the jury and prevent
a fair trial, he's often been held to be
a criminal contempt of the court try
ing the case. If a corporation publishes
the article, we see no reason why 1t
should not be held liable for a criminal
contempt. There are no statutes in this
commonwealth regulating the proceed
ings in the trial and punishment of
contempt of court. The summary power
to commit and punish for contempt
tending to obstrlIct or defeat the ad-
ruiniStration of Justice is inherent in
courts of chancery and Other superior
courts, as essential to the execution of
their powers and to the maintenance of
authority.
When it comes in any manner to the
knowledge of the presiding justice of a
court that articles are published in q
newspaper circulated in the place wherf
the court Is held which are calculated
to prevent a fair trial of a case then or
trial before the court, the court of its
own motion can institute proceedings
for contempt.
$50 So The most important question
introduced IS whether the publication
of these articles under the circum-
stances could be adjudged a contempt
The articles published were not de-
famatory either as regards the presid.
ing justice or the Jurors before whom
the case was tried, or the parties to the
cause. In one case the court discharged
the treasurer and manager of a news
paper, and in the other the editor ant
the publisher, on the ground that the!
were not shown to be directly response
. bic for the publications. 1t is probable
although this does not expressly appea
in the papers before us, that the person
or persons employed to report for eael
newspaper the proceedings of the cour
wrote the articles and caused them t
be published.
The superior court has not fOunC
that there was an intent TO influence
the trial of the case referred to on tn
part of anybody. The articles ere OBJ
jectionable only because they purpor

MAY START UP AGAIN.

Fall River, Jan. AT a meeting of
the stockholders of the Robson cot
ton mill today, Horace w. Tinkham
was elected treasurer and will act as
superintendent. The mills have been
idle nearly "a year and attempts to re-
capitalize them had hitherto failed. The
original capital has been changed from
$3.50, 900 to $4,000, and this amount has
been guaranteed. 1t is understood that
the mill will be started in about two
weeks

REMARKABLE SHOWING.

For Eighth Consecutive Day Gen. Hen

Washington, Jan. 4-For the eighth
consecutive day, Gen. Henry, at San
Juan, reported by cable to the war de-
partment today, there were no deaths
among the American troops garrison
ing Porto Rico. This is most remark
able showing, indicating that camps
are now healthier than any city in the
world.

COULD NOW CURE GAMBETTA.

PARIS, April s.-Had Gambetta
lived fifteen years longer he might be
alive this day. 1t sounds like an
Irish bull, but read on. DR.. Laborde
has only now published an authorita-
tive account of the great tribune's
end, which he declares was due to APP
pendicitis, in 1882. This disease was
scarcely understood a few years ago.
Today the surgeons would have inter
vened with almost certainty of sue
cess. DR.. Laborde disproves the ro-
mantle tales of the shooting of Gam
BETA. The latter accidentally wound
ed himself while trying revolver,
but this injury had nothing to do
with his death.

EVA CASE TO BE REOPENED IN
THE CIRCUIT COURT.
McCandless Wins over John Ii Estate
in Suit for Leased Land at Hoaeae--
Waialua Land Matter.

Mazda, the Eva Japanese, supposed
to be the aCcompliCe of Goto the mur-
derer, who was convicted by a jury in
the circuit court and sentenced to i'm
prisonment for life, will have a new
trial. The supreme court so decided
today. new trial is ordered on the
ground that the evidence was not suf-
| ticient to support the verdict of guilty.
| The theory of the prosecution was that
GOto committed the crime of murder
and that Mazda was present and aided
in its accomplishment. AS the matter
now stands the case will come up at
the May term.
The supreme court today filed a de-
cision in the case of L. l.. McCandIess
vs.. John Ii estate, bill for injunction,
| confirming the decree appealed from,
| OVerruling the demurrer. This is a VIC
! tory for McCandless. In this matter
| plaintiff petitioned for a writ of injunc-
| ton to prevent defendant from selling
or leasing certain lands to the oahu Su-
gar Company plaintiff, claiming the
| lands under a prior contract. To the
| bill put in defendant demurred, deny

time the men carried curiOs of all
sorts which they will preserve and
show to their friends in the states. 1t
was O'Clock before the officers reach
ed the post. Work of preparation took
until noon, when the men sat down to
their last meal in camp. AS soon as
this was over the companies fell in for
the march to town.
Before leaving Camp Mckinley
cheers were exchanged between the
departing engineers and the artillery
men. A number of people were out to
witness the breaking of camp, but
there was no demonstration at all.
This was reserved for the last hour at
the steamer.
The Engineers were in their blue uni
forms, for they are going where it is
not perennial summer, and their can
vas uniforms are packed away.
There was quite a little crowd at the
Waikiki turn where the band met the
column and took the lead, and the spec
tatorS grew more numerous as the CEN
ter of town grew nearer. Just beyond
the old plantation the detail from the
barracks met the column and standing
at present while it passed fell in at the
rear.
By the time the column had reached
Kawaiahao church there were a great

till by the time the wharf was reached
it was a triumph.
AlOhas and good bys were exchanged
between the column and the crowd
ard much evidence was given of the
fact that the engineers have a warm
place in ICnolUlu's remembrance.
There will probably be more leis al
the Australia this afternoon than in
many months before. At one place in
the city the whole force has been bust
ly engaged all day making leis of all
colors and kinds. These had been pre-
viously ordered by ladies and most of
them will find their way to the depart
ing soldier boys. The native lei wom-
en- have doubled their stocks for the
afternoon in anticipation of a heavy
business. They will doubtless have it,

Raise the Ringing Heartfelt Cheers,
Flowers for the Engineers.
Aloha Sounds Like Ginning Bell; Word
of Welcome and Farewell.

The most popular American soldier
organization which has sojourned
among us, leaves today.
Honolulu is sorry the Volunteer En-
gineers are going, because they are
leaving her. She is glad they are leav-
ing because they are going home. And
then she thinks most of them will come
back, as she knows many of them are
going to.
Honolulu liked the Engineers. She
thinks the Engineers liked her. At any
rate Honolulu and the Engineers got
along well together To know just how
well they got along together go down
to the Oceanic wharf and see the part
ing when the Australia sails at 1
o'clock this afternoon Some idea Of
it could be obtained from the demon
strations along the streets as the boys
marched in from Camp Mckinley this
afternoon. The column looked a
good deal like a living flower show; as
though Mars was wOoing Flora or Flo
ra wooing Mars.
The Engineers broke camp at 12:30
this afternoon and reached town about
2:30. The band met the column on King
street and led it to the wharf. There
will undoubtedly be very large
crowd on the wharf to see the boys
off. The contingent will be made up
of both natives and foreigners, for the
engineers have many warm friends
among all nationalities. The steamer
should reach San Francisco next Wed
nesday afternoon or Thursday morn
ing. If the battalion is mustered out
at San Francisco the men will receive
passage money to their several points
of enlistment.
Post Honolulu was a busy scene this
morning. Shortly after 6 o'clock the
men, under Sergeant Major Seyde,
began preparing for departure. A large
part of the baggage was tagged and
gotten off on army wagons to the Aus
tralia. Many of the men had more
luggage than the law allows, and gave
away hair brushes, shoe brushes and
dozens of other things to their native
friends as mementOes. At the same

BLANCHE BATES DANGER.

Miss Blanche Bates, who has made
two such striking hits in such quick
succession, is confronted with a dan
ger which is the natural penalty of
success under our present system
writes the critic of the New York Com
mercial Advertiser. Both these parts,
the one in The Great Ruby, and Miladi
in The Musketeers, were Villainesses,
and now every manager who seeks to
engage Miss Bates will wish her for
"heavies." To do one kind of thing
we'll is to be threatened with eternal
limitation to that single line. For an
art, with an ambition to make the best
of it, there can be nothing more dis
heartening than to be held forever to
one note. Fortunately for Miss Bates,
she is not without will to give prac-
tical efficiency to her talents, and will
probably get what she wants.
