JUDGE ESTES OPINION
THE CONSTITUTION FOLLOWED THE
FLAG IN HAWAIrS CASE.
Decision by the United States Court
mt Honolulu Which Will be Re-
ferred to Supreme Justices.

Correspondence OF the Associated Press.
HONOLULU, Oct. 25 via San Francisco,
Nov. 2.-United States District Judge Es-
tee has rendered a decision to the effect
that the Constitution does not follow the
flag, in an important libel case that has
been before the courts here for some time
William II. Marshall was sentenced TO SIX
months imprisonment for criminal libel on
account of publications he made about the
late Chief Justice Judd. He made an APP
peal to the Supreme Court of Hawaii On
technical grounds, alleging that the meth
eds pursued during his trial were not In
accordance with American procedure. The
lower court was sustained, and Marshall
turned to Judge Estee with writ OF
habeas corpus Judge Estee held that the
laws of Hawaii, allowing conviction OF
defendants upon a verdict by nine jurors.
we're still in force at the time Of Marshalrs
trial, which was long after the
passage Of the resolution annexing
Hawaii to the Union The judge
said that Hawaii. before being annexed,
twas a free enlightened state. possessing
all the attributes of sovereignty, and when,
with our peoples consent, the islands were
annexed to the United states, not oniy INC
lands. but the people with their laws and
customs were annexed and by the we'll
esta bl!shed laws of nations, these laws anu
customs remained in force until new laws
were enacted for the government of the
territory
The question of whether the Constitution
follows the flag TO Hawaii is one which
many people would like to have decided by
the Supreme Court of the United states.
One of the circuit judges here, taking
view opposite to that of Judge Estee, has
already released prisoner who was con-
victed of an infamous crime without
grand jury Indictment but the circuit judge
to whom Marshalls appeal went held the
other way. The release is the release or
one man and the confirmation of the SEN
tence of another, though both applied on
exactly the same points.
The attorney general has rendered an opin-
ion that the old Hawaiian law requiring
vessels arriving here to pay half pilot fees,
even if they do not use pilot, is not IN
fierce now, as far as American vessels en-
gagged in domestic trade are concerned.
Foreigners and American bottoms in for
eign trade are still liable to the charge.
Signor Marconi has sent to Hawaii
new expert from London to investigate the
cause of the failure of his system.
