Zation to the petition for mandamus
filed at-relation of the Chicago Teach

capital stock of certain Chicago cor
porations, which have heretofore es-
capped assessment. Arguments in
support of the demurrer were made by
John S. Miller. former corporation
counsel of Chicago, and. Attorney Gen
eral Edward c. Akin, and in behalf
of petitioners by 1. t. Greenacre, of
Chicago, and States Attorney Z. s.

Arrument for the Demurrer.

John s. Miller contended that the
court has no jurisdiction, and that if it
had there is no duty now shown to
be due. inasmuch as the board is still
in session and petition sets forth that
it will act, though it is alleged not as
the petitioners desire it to act. Miller
declared the petition asks the judge of
this court to set his Judgment on the
value Of these franchises above the
judgment of twenty-three men from
aN sections of the state. selected by
the people to exercise their Judgment
in the assessment and equalization of
property in the state. The petition,
he declared, does not show that the
board has eQualized the values of
tangible property. Until it does this
1t cannot determine the value of the
capital stock in excess of the tangible
property.

any special reference to the time when
territorial government was estab-
llshed here. the attention not having
been especially directed to the circum-
stances of any particular election. and

ly with the language OF Section 60 and
therefore should be given effect. The
appeal is dismissed and the decision OF

Steamboat Is Not
Right Kind OF
Life.
TARS MUST LIVE
ASHORE TO VOTE
The Inter.lsland Sailors Will Cast
no Ballots in Election
This Fall.

Sailors on the boats plying between
Honolulu and the o,her Islands of the
group will not be allowed TO vote at
the coming election. according to an
opinion handed down by the Supreme
Court yesterday. According to this n
sailor who has no home but his cabin
on the steamer on which he Is employed
is completely disfranchised and cannot
vote anywhere.
The question was brought before the
court in the case of Joseph Irving. Irv-
ing was a sailor on the steamer Iwalani
plying between this port and other ISL
ands of the group. He lived on the
boat and her permanent berth was at
the Inter-Isand wharf in the harbor
Irving asked to be registered last week
but was refused because he had no per-
marent place Of abode in the Sixth
precinct. in which he claimed residence.
For the purpose Of this case" the
Court says, 1T Is not necessary to de-
termine whether residence as used In
Section co of the Organic Act is equiva-
lent to domicile. However from the au-
thor.ties we do reach the conclusion
that a house of brick or of stone or
even of wood is not essential to enable
one to become resident of n precinct
and q qualified voter therein.
He might live in q tent, in Il grass
hut out in the open canopied by the
silent stars But there must be some
definite and permanent place designat-
ed and occupied in order to entitle one
to clothe the same with the rights and
privileges surrounding the residence or
domicile of a freeman. Clearly one
could not reside in wagon or build
ing on wheels and move the same from
precinct to precinct and establish a
residence in any voting precinct unless
his wagon or place of abode remained
in the precinct the length of time re-
CURED by law.
1.-THE record shows that the residence
of the appellant for the past seven
months has been on the steamer Iva
lani, in a fixed and permanent ROOM;
that this steamer Is engaged in the in
ter-island trade, her home port Is Ho-
nolulu and when here she Is locked at
u wharf in the harbor designated as one
of the boundaries of the Sixth precinct.
II is CledT from lnlS statement tndl
VIXEN the Iwalani' goes to Lahaira or
some other port that the fixed and
permanent ROOM. the res dence of the
aboard the steamer goes also,
and that his residence during the time
the steamer is away is not at Honolulu
and within the Sixth precinct as claim
cd"
Several decisions are quoted by the
court which are in point. whereby it
is held that seaman retains his domi
cile of origin although he is regularly
employed on steamer unless by actual
residence he acquires q dCm,cle else
where, and that residence upon n
steamer has none of the characteristics
of fixed or permanent abode. The
court therefore holds that "the conten-
ton of the appellant cannot be main
tanned for tile reason that he has not
established a voting residence in the
precinct" The appeal is dismissed
with costs. The opinion IS written by
Justice Galbraith and corcurred in by
Chief Justice Frear and Justice Perry.
