MARSHALL GETS HEARING
JUDGE EsTEE TAKES UP HIS
CASE.
Habeas Corpus Proceedings Received
and to be Considered Tomorrow
Legal Questions Involved.

William II Marshall will get his case
before the United States district court.
This was decided by Judge Estee this
morning. The basis Of the decision was
that a Constitutional question was in
Volved and therefore the United States
courts had jurisdiction, beginning as
low as the district court.
This morning there was presented to
Judge Estee petition for writ of habeas
corpus. In it Marshall set forth that
he was tried in the Hawaiian Circuit
Court and convicted by less than twelve
jurymen, which was contrary to the
Constitution of the United States. He
claimed that this has been American
territory since August II, 1898. and
therefore under the Constitution Judge
Estee considered the points so well
taken that he issued the writ and or
dered the Attorney General to produce
Marshall before the district court to-
morrow morning.
To the majority of lawyers. so far as
can be learned, Judge Estee is justified
in taking up the case. Judges of both
Hawaiian courts have expressed the
opinion that, though not a court of ap-
peal from the Hawaiian Supreme court,
the district court has the power and
right under the circumstances in taking
up the matter under habeas corpus pro-
ceedings.
noon that he would produce Marshall
in the United States district court to-
morrow morning as ordered unless in
structed otherwise by the Attorney
General. If instructed otherwise he did
not know exactly what he might do, as
very important legal point would be
involved in such a situation. Attorney
General Dole could not be seen on the
matter, but there is a well founded re-
port that he will let matters come to a
head IN Judge Estees court. or rather
| that he will not take a hand in it at all.
From all accounts the fun will come
after Judge Estee gets through with
the case. While the public and news
papers know nothing, absolutely, it Is
the general opinion that Judge Estee Is
Constitution follows the flag man
and that he will order Marshall releas-
ed. In such an event it Is certain that
the Hawaiian government will carry
the matter up to the United States Su-
preme Court.

CHINESE WOMAN FINED FOR
SELLING BEER.
Claimed the stool Pigeon Represented
He Was Sick and Required Liquor for
Medicinal Purposes.

Mrs. Hanah All Kin, a Chinese wo-
man, learned lesson this morning in
ingratitude and like great Caesar she
was vanquished by 1t, for she is out
just $780,
She was arrested for selling beer
without a license at her store. She
pleaded guilty and in her plea for mer-
cy, made through her attorney, she set
forth the following facts The native
who had informed the police of the sale
came into her place and there repre-
sented that he was sick. He asked her
to sell him something stronger than
soda water and ginger pop. She at first
demuIred, but he importuned and al
most upon his bended knees besought
her to open her kind heart to his suffer-
ing and sell him q drink. His prayers
would have moved the sternest bar
keeper in Honolulu to similar act Of
mercy so with true female kindness of
heart she sold him the beer for 25 cents
and then got s"pinched" for 1t.
Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth prose-
cuted the case and said that inasmuch
as the defendant was a woman, he
would be satisfied if half of the ordin-
airy fine was levied. Judge Wilcox re-

According to private advices from San

off the Honolulu run Immediately, and
instead of having an opportunity of

again in these ports.
Recently one of the customs inspec-
tors wrote to his wife, who is visiting
in San Francisco, telling her to return
on the second trip of the Australia
which is booked to reach here Novem-

4 MlNSIER QE IHE DEEP

The largest if not the first devil fish
to be brought to the fish market was
captured yesterday morning by cou-
pie of japanese fishermen. The animaf
was of the regular savage kind With
tennacles which could clasp themselves
about a human being or a small boat
and cruch the strongest into a pulp.
The Japanese caught the fish out be-
Jond the quarantine station. They
fought for three hours trying to land
the monster and before they could draw
it close enough to the boat to cast the
harpoon the fish had bent one hook.
When measured the creature was
found to be eight feet in length and
weighed 400 pounds. It's jaws, when
distended, measured 3S inches. The
fish was cut up and sold.

TERRITORY MUST PAY.
Central Government Not Responsible
for Fire Claims.

Acting Secretary of States, A. A.
Adee, has written Governor Dole IN
forming him that the Territory alone is
responsible for the fire claims ana
should do everything in the way OF
liauidating them. The following eX-
tract from the letter covers the mat
ter:
THE claims of the Chinese and ia
panese subjects referred to are not In a
technical sense against the United
States of America but against the Ter
ritory of Hawaii or the municipality
of Honolulu or such other local or cor
porate body as directed, and is there
fore responsible for the destruction of
the property referred TO. While in an
international sense, 1t is incumbent up
on the General Government to see that
Justice Is done to the subjects or other
powers whose property or persons have
been unlawfully interferel with or In
jured by either State or Territorial gov
ernment, yet the obligation to afford
compensation is upon the Territorial
government, and the Federal Govern
ment should permit the Territory in
this instance such opportunity as may
be necessary under the forms of law
that prevail there to provide the ways
and means to meet these obligations, II
they be obligations"

NANA NEAR|NGLAST TRIP
ONE MORE BEFORE TAKING IN
TBRCoLoNIAL RUN.
Carries Two Days Mails for Honolulu
and Big Cabin and steerage List
for Colonies.

After a quick run from San Francisco
the Oceanic Steamship Moana was
sighted off Koko Head this morning
shortly after o'clock and docked a
few minutes after Z o'clock. She brought
two days mail from the Mainland but
no passengers for this port. She car
ries a number of cabin and steerage
passengers the majority being booked
for Sydney and Auckland. Among the
passengers was E, Turner a wealthy
importer of Sydney and f. ]. McComas
an artist of that city who has visited
extensively in these islands. 7. j.
Carlile and DR.. r. B. Chapman are go
ing to Apia upon a scientific research of
some character. They will pass sew
eral months touring the islands afoot.
This is next to the last trip of the
Moana on this run for after the fol-
lowing trip she will be taken off and
put on the intercolonial run. 1t is the
last trip for G.. A. Hodson the purser OF
the vessel as the latter has received a
handsome promotion from j. d. Spree
kels and Company. Mr.. Hodson has
been in the service of the steamship
company for fourteen years and during
that time has done much to make both
himself and the line popular with the
travelling public. In recognition of his
services he has been ordered to leave
the vessel and proceed at once to Phi
ladelphia and assume the duties of
purser of the Sonoma, one of the ves-
sells which the Oceanic Company is hav-
ing built for the new Australian mai
route. He will also have charge OF
purchasing supplies and Quitting the
ship. Mr.. Hodson made up his ac-
counts during the run from San Fran
cisco and left the vessel here to await
the arrival of the Alameda from the
colonies. He will take passage on hel
back to the Mainland.
A graceful little compliment was
shown Mr. Hodson by the passengers
on the Moana last night He was call
ed into the cabin and there presented
with testimonial and a purse contain
ing 25 sovereigns. Mr.. Turner of sgd
ney who has travelled more with Mr.
Hodson than probably any other pas
senger, presided and made the presen
| tation speech. The testimonial and me
mortal was an artistic inscription got
ton up by Mr.. McComas the artist. Mr.
Hodson replied feelingly to the com
pliment and further remarks were con
fined to "Set 'em up again" and "Wel
| let's have another"
The Moana arrived a day late on ac
count of having to wait for the Englisl
mail she postponed sailing until thu

IS george manson DEAD?
SAID TO HAVE DIED IN oRovILLB
CALIFORNIA.
Newspaper Writeup From That Town
Gives a Pretty Positive Story-Local
Opinion of Matter.

1t is believer here that George Man
son is dead in Oroville, California. A
newspaper of that town contains no
tice of death of a man of that name
and the indications in the story all
point to the Honolulu Journalist. 1t
may be stated, howver, that none OF
Mansons relatives here know anything
about the matter. In fact, he has not
written to any of them since he left and
they are unacquainted with his move
ments. The Oroville papers story is
as follows:
George Manson, a gentleman who
has been in Oroville some two or three
weeks, died very suddenly yesterday at
the Union hotel. He was suffering from
throat trouble in the forenoon, and DR..
Karsner was called. The doctor found
him with a very badly swollen throat
and gave him a spray, which the un-
fortunate man used. Late in the after
noon he was heard walking and gasping
and the doctor was called. He arrived
too late to be of assistance as the man
had suffocated as a result of the SWELL
ing in the throat
'6The deceased had been living at a
pretty rapid gait, but during the past
few days had not been drinking. 1t Is
said that since coming here he went
through with nearly thousand dol
lars"
One friend of Mr.. Manson ventured
the opinion this morning that the story
was a blind, fixed up by Manson him.
self for purpose. What the purpose
was he would not state. At any rate
he took DIR. Karsners address and vii
not be satisfied until he receives a let
ter from that gentleman confirming the
report. This friend has no doubts bu
that the Manson referred is the Homo
lulu citizen.
One thing giving color to the story /:
that letter arrived two days ago from
Honolulu man in San Francisco stat
ing that Manson had left for the nortf
and was to travel by easy stages. Ht
said he intended to go to Vancouver
and from there to take a steamer fol
Yokohama. Oroville is 115 miles nortt
of San Francisco and, though not quite
on the direct route, is in position easy
of access.
George Manson was born in England
He came here early in 1898 and wa:
employed as reporter and then bust
ness manager of The Star Since tina
time he worked on all the papers of thu
city except the Independent, his las
place being as business manager of tn

Country Physicians Asked for Complete
Data-Beef Contracts-Cemetery Pro-
ject is Approved.

The letters received by the Depart
ment of Education in regard to children
that have been refused admission to
the schools on account of physical dis
abilities were considered by the Board
of Health yesterday. 1t was deemed
impossible to do anything, however, un-
til the physicians in the country dis
tricts are heard from. DR.. Hubert
Wood has already reported on the cases
at Waialua.
The question of whether government
physicians in the country districts
should charge for attendance upon
prisoners was discussed. Attorney
General Dole thought not; President
Wood held that they should charge. He
remarked that in the city the police de-
partment employed a physician for this
purpose and he did not see why coun-
try doctors should do the work for no
thing. The matter went over.
The contract for beef cattle was agair
let to Sam. Parker for $25 a head. The

FILLED TWO FEET THE EASTERN SITUATION
so DECLARES HARBoR MASTER
FULLER.
Says Mud from Oahu Railway Dredg-
ings Comes Back into Channel-Vi-
gorous Denial of This.

"The Oahu Railway Company, in it's
operations in and around Kawa pond,
has filed up the harbor two feet"
That is what Captain Fuller said yes
terday afternoon and is about the sub
stance of what he reported to the gov
epnment in his letter of last Monday.
The Harbor Master views the situation
With a good deal OF alarm. He believes
that If dredging goes o. as it now is
swing on, in the west side of the har-
boz 1t will not be long before vessels
can not move around at all. 1t seems
that the mud from the dredger, when
taken out comes back into the harbor
and fills up the localities already dred-
ged TO proper dept. His estimate Of
two feet probably does not apply to the
whole harbor, but even in that part
afpund the railroad wharf would land
a vessel in the mud, for there is none
too much water there already.
A prominent railroad official said this
afternoon: Captain Fuller certainly
has not investigated the matter as far
as he might. That some of the seepings
from the dredger fall back into the
harbor we know, but the statement that
the harbor has been filled two feet is
nonsense. have followed up the work
there very thoroughly. 1 know full well
that that the part of the harbor around
the railroad wharf has filled up some !;
but of course we intend to fix that all
right 1t will take the dredger only n
short time to pump out the soft mud
when 1t gets so deep as to interfere
with the movements of shipping.
LAS a matter of fact Captain Fuller
has hollered before he was hit. The
railway company is looking out for the
harbor and can no more afford to have
it's wharf blocked than can Captain
Fuller. If Captain Fuller and the gov
ernment will allow us to go right ahead
they will find that we know what we
are doing and that there will be no
trouble"
