Professor Herman W Hilprecht, the
Babylonian explorer, who in the spring
of this year went to the East to super
intend the excavations in Assyria and
Babylon in the name of the University
of Pennsylvania. describes in letter
the important results Of his journey.
He says: THE results Of our re-
searches exceed everything that has
so far been known about Babylon. We
found the great temple library and
priest school of Nippur. which had
been destroyed by the Eiamites 22s -.
C. The library consists of sixteen thou
and volumes written on stones. and
covers the entire theological, astrono-
mical, linguistic and mathematical
knowledge of those days. We also un-
earthed a collection of letters and oi-
ographies. deciphered the inscriptions
of many newly discovered tombstones
and monuments and espied, finally

ALL PAPERS
IN ENGLISH.
A New Ruling by Judge
Humphreys.
COURTS AMER|CAN|zED
Documents on File Must be Trans
lated Before They Can be
Used in Court.

Judge Humphreys yesterday ruled
that not only must all documents filed
in the Circuit Court be entirely in the
English language but also all old docu-
ments at present on file must be trans
lated and the translation filed with the
original. This accords with the policy
inaugurated by Judge Humphreys Of
completely Americanizing the courts Of
Honolulu.
When requested for a statement of
his reasons for so ruling Judge Hum
phreys said:
Ordinarily l would not discuss any
matter coming before me as a Judge
but as your enquiry pertains entirely
to rule. / may say that in my judg-
ment a Court has the right to know the
contents of its records and to acquire
such knowledge upon mere inspection
without the aid of an interpreter or
translator.
"Racially there are Hawaiians here;
nationally there is not an Hawaiian in
these islands. The Court not knowing
any race. can not accord to Hawaiians
any greater rights than are accorded
Portuguese, Germans, Chinese or Jap
permitted to be filed in the Courts in
the Hawaiian language then docu-
ments offered in any other foreign Ian
guage must be received. This would re-
suit in Babel of confusion, great de-
lay and inconvenience in matters of
procedure.
THE Hawaiian language will die a
borning. 1t Is not employed in science.
art or literature, and to a very limited
extent in commerce-even in this the
place of its origin.
"A century hence ii will afford a pas
time for the antiquary; for all prac-
teal purposes it will be dead beyond
the hope of resurrection.
y Congress in my opinion has shown a
clear intent that all proceedings of a
public nature shall be conducted in the
English language. For instance Jurors
are required to understand, speak, read
and write that language. All legisla
tive proceedings are required to be IN
the English language, and finally tn,
Office of translator of the Court deci
sions is abolished

FACTS ARE STUBBORN.

II Honolulu People Are Not Con-
WINGED by Local Testimony They
Differ From Other People.
Our readers will have noticed how in
the past two years Cures" have multi
piled in the newspapers very fast, and
the public are becoming skeptical.
Facts are demanded, but 1t has also
become essential to know who sup

People will not now accept incredible
cures from the other side of the world.
They want them at home. Give us

HUeeINs CASE DISMISSED.
The Charge OF Cruelty to Animals
Not Proved.

Al Higgins. clerk in the Census Office,
whose home is at SOS Third Street north
west, was the defendant before Judge Mills
yesterday to a charge of cruelty to animals
Ii was alleged that on Sunday Higgins
hired horse from liveryman and cru
ely beat and drove the animal with the
result that it was now unfit for use, and
had been since it was returned to the sta
Bile Sunday evening.
Husgins admitted that he drove TO Cabin
John Bridge with young lady and after
ward drove about the city. but denied that
the horse was cruelty treated or urged be-
yond an ordinary rate OF speed Through
his attorney. Edward G. Niles, the defen-
dant claimed that a case had not been
made out against him and he called at
tention to the conflict of testimony against
him, particularly the statement of one
witness who declared he saw Higgins driv-
ing west on Pennsylvania Avenue at 2:3G
O'Clock. and that the horse was then play
ed out When. as a matter of fact the
horse was not hired until o'clock.
Judge Mills decided that as the horse
was well when hired and unfit for use
when returned it had evidently suffered
but he added that 1t had not been shown
beyond doubt that the animal was abused
by the defendant He therefore. gave
Huggins the benefit of the doubt and dis
missed the charge against him

Result of the Enquiry Into the Death
of Robert Stafford

jury OF inquest met at the Sixth pre-
cinct station yesterday to enquire into
the cause of the death of Robert Stafford,
colored, which occurred at the Homeo-
pathic Hospital. Wednesday morning.
Boyd Wallace. a half brother of he VIC
tim, was held responsible for the crime.
He was committed to jail to await trial.
The hearing began promptly at 10 o'clock.
Many witnesses were examined. Acting
Coroner Glazebrook presided. Acting
Deputy Coroner Fisher had performed an
autopsy On the remains of Stafford prior
to the inquest, and he testified 10 the
cause of death, which he said, resulted
from wounds inflicted by knife or SINH
lar weapon. Next came DR.. Leroy Stod-
dard, of the Homeopathic Hospital The
nature of the wounds sustained by Stat
ford were described by the witness. DR..
Stoddard stated that Stafford was suffer-
ing from wounds under the arm and across
the abdomen, the latter of which caused
death.
Harriet Jackson, colored who claims TO
have no home. was also a witness. She
testified that Tuesday night she was asked
by Stafford to accompany him to a camp
meeting, which she did. On the way back
they met Wallace, and he tried to PICK
a quarrel, but was quieted for a time.
NHeH Nuey Tedcneu nome. Sle SdlC, Stdf-
ford went up to his room and took off
his coat while she and Wallace went TO
the yard In the rear of the house Wallace
asked her:
How is 1t that you go car riding With
Bob every time he gets paid OFF,
At the mention OF Stafford's name, she
said, the latter came and asked: What's
that about me?"
Was Wallace angry" the woman was
asked
He seemed to be right rash" she an

had been cut.

THE PRINTERS CONVENTION.
Delegates From the Local Union
Leave for Milwaukee Today.

The delegates from Columbia Typo
graphical Union, No. 1O1, to the annual con-
vention of the International Typography
cal Union, which will begin in Milwaukee
on Tuesday next, will leave the city today
The union will be represented by Edwin c.
Jones, A. W. Bowen, Charles Sheldon. and
Harry Sauter. Mr.. Jones was formerly
president of Columbia Union and has been
appointed on the Committee on Laws. by
the president OF the International Union.
The matter Of most importance which
will be considered by the convention, in
which the local union is interested, is the
settlement Of the question of the proper
place of membership for machine tenders
IN printing offices. The members of the
machinists unions claim that the machine
tenders should be affiliated with their or
CARNATIONS, while the printers contend that
all persons employed in composing rooms
should affiliate with the typographical
unions in the localities where the work is
performed. The matter has been a sub
ject Of dispute for year or more and in
the different phases which it has come up
for consideration has been decided in favor
of tie printers.
After the adjournment Of the convention
the question will probably be finally dis
posed of by committees representing the
American Federation of Labor, the Ma
chinists' International Union, and the In
ternational Typographical Union. The first
two organizations have already named
committees to consider the matter.
