The SMITH ESTATE CASE
AMIN WOMAN TELLS WHAT is IN
THE WILL.
Five Thousand to Sister and Same to
the Petitioner-Heiress Gets Balance
Ester Case Called

There was another development today
in the matter of the estate of the late
d. b. Smith. 1t came up in the shape
of an affidavit and motion of Annoy NJ .
Amin, the half Chinese woman who kept
house for deceased. The woman admits
that efforts to find will had failed,
but affirms that such was eXtant, and
says she will be able to prove the same.
In the motion the petitioner says that
the will provides that Mrs. Chattie Hall
of Hillsville, Va, sister of the diseased
shall have $1,000; that petitioner herself
is given $1,000, and that the residue of
the estate of whatsoever kind whatever
is left to Mamie l.. Smith, daughter of
deceased. These facts she claims to be
able to- prove
The William Ester case was called in
Judge Stanley's court this morning
This man is charged with murder in the
first degree in killing Toya Jackson on
the streets some weeks ago. Eleven
jurymen were called when challenging
began. One man after another was re-
leased until at 10:30 o'clock the panel
was exhausted. Then the court was
obliged to adjourn to permit the clerk
and police officer to summon talesmen.
At 1880 this afternoon the case was
again taken up, talesmen being called.
1t will probably take all the afternoon
to get a jury. Dole and Cathcart ap-

DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE.
DE. NcDREw ANNOUNCES THE
TEwENTY- ONE.
Meeting ~ the Committee Called for
Tbursday Evening-Hopes Expressed
for United Action-PIans.

Dr. J. s. NcGrew has announced the
Democratic organization committee OF
twenty cone. authorized by the Demo-
cratic mass meeting at Progress Hall
last Wednesday evening. and has called
the committee 10 meet at his office
Thursday evening. May "a, at 1880
O'ciOck.
The committee is as follows: DR..
John =. McGrcw. Col. Charles j. Nc
carthy. John Wise, Charles l.. Rhodes,
Frank Brown, william II. Cornweli,
T.. y. McCianahan, John d. Holt, Jas.
Quinn. John J. Egan. John T.. Bush
Joseph =. Martin. j. X. Wilder, John
Efnngcr. Joseph NJ. Camara, Edmund
H. Hart. Wilmer n. Johnson, w. s.
Withers, Capt. q. J. Campbell and j.
l. Coke and X. w. BOOte. Of Maui.
The resolution under which the COM
mittec was appointed is as follows:
Resolved. That the chairman of this
meeting be authorized to appoint a
committee Of twenty-one, to be an
nOunced through the newspapers to
provide a plan Of enrolment and or
ganiZatiOn, and to prepare an address
10 the people Of the Territory of Ha-
wall, and to report at a meeting to be
called hereafter. The officers of this
meeting shall be members of this com
mittee."
In speaking of the committee, Dr. Nc
Grew says its purpose as he under
stands IL. Is simply to propose a plan of
organization to be submitted to another
meeting Of Democrats for adoption
modification or change. The idea being
that every Democrat should have an
opportunity and should feel 1t his duty
to help organize the party. In appoint
ing the committee he has sought to
make II as representative as possible
But this committee is simply for the
purpose Of setting the work of organi-
zatiOn in motion, and giving Democrats
an opportunity to act together in the
organization Of the party.
He thinks, and so do a great many
other Democrats, that the party in Ha-
wall ought to be represented at the Ma
tiOnal Democratic Convention, to be
held in Kansas City, July 4, and that
If that meets with the concurrence of
Democrats generally, an effort ought to
be made to get as representative
convention of all the Democrats of all
the Islands, as is possible, together in
time to select a delegate or delegates
For this reason 1t is thought that the
Democrats on the other Islands ought
to organize on their respective Islands,
without waiting for the Democrats of
Honolulu and the Island of Oahu 10
propose a plan of organization for
them. To the end that as thorough and
uniform organization as possible may
be carried out, ne invites correspon-
dence from Democrats on the other Is
lands, so that when the Democrats of
Honolulu hold another meeting and
adopt plans of organization, and choose
their permanent committees, they will
know the sentiments of Democrats on
the other Islands, and thorough ana
uniform organization can be completed.
The meeting of the committee Of
twenty-One is called for Thursday even
ing at DIR. McGrew's office on Hotel
street, so that the committee may get
to work as soon as possible.

THE BABE CRIED IN COURT.
WHEN A MOTHER WAS CHARGED
WITH LARCENY.
The Deputy Marshal Will Investigate
Farther Before Pressing the Charge
Accused of Stealing Fifteen Dollars

Omachu Hiki, a poorly dressed care
worn looking Japanese woman, stood
before Judge Wilcox this morning with
a little baby on her back. The mother
was charged with stealing SIS up at
relief camp No. l. charge she indig-
nantly denied.
The little baby at first looked around
in wonder at his surroundings, uncon-
scious of the serious charge against
his mother. But getting tired of the
position which soon lost it's novelty, and
perhaps frightened at the strange faces
in the courtroom, it began to cry. The
poor mother, not understanding a word
that was said, embarrassed by the posi-
ton she was in, tried her best to quiet
the babe, though she, herself, looked
like she felt like crying.
1t was an embarrassing situation for
both the court and the deputy marshal.
The latter after consulting with the
officer who made the arrest asked that
the case stand over until tomorrow un-
til he could further investigate 1t.
The woman with her husband has
been living at the relief camp in the
same apartments with another Japan
ese and his wife. The latter left the
apartment and gave the key to the de-
fendant, asking her if she left to lock
the door. When the Japanese returned
he claimed that SIS he. had left there
had been stolen, and accused the defen-
dant of stealing it,

HAWAII IS FOR RECOMMENDING Of DELEGATES
CHINESE SENTIMENT ON THE BIG
ISLAND.
A Remarkable Demonstration When
Leung Chi-tso Left-Kauai and Maui
Are to be Visited Next.

The Chinese OF the Island OF Hawaii
are unanimous for reform is the report
back by those who accompanied Leung
Chi-tsO on his trip just ended. The
reformer and the four men who went
with him on the Kinau were given
remarkable reception and send-off. The
steamer arrived at o'clock in the
morning and 1t was the intention of the
members of the party to stay on board
till breakfast time, but there were about
fifty Chinese on the wharf to meet the
refOrmer and so a landing was made
at once.
Large meetings were held at Hilo and
other places, and requests came from
all over the Island that Leung make
speeches. Tom Dow, who was with
Leung Chi-tso, stated this morning that
it appeared that there was not one Chi
naman on the Island who was not a re-
former, and that the addresses made
by Beung aroused great enthusiasm.
Leung declares that in all his speeches
for the opening of western China to
western influences, education and relig
ious, for freedom of commerce and a
representative government.
The farewell given to Leung was re-
markable scene, as described by those
who were with him. There was a pro-
cession of his friends marching four
abreast, to the wharf. In line there
were not only Chinese, but many Jap
anese as well. Leis were in evidence
everywhere, and Leung was loaded
heavily with them. There were about
500 people in the crowd, according to
estimate. Before the boat left Leung
had to spend about half an hour shak-
ing hands with his admirers and sup
porters, who crowded around him with
farewell wishes and invitations to come
back.
While Leung was on Hawaii he re-
ceived invitations from all classes and
nationalities. There was not the slight
est danger for him there" said Tom
Dow, for everyone of the Chinese is
his friend. But there was the greatest
watchfulness. All night long there
were about a dozen friends of reform
watching tE hotel Where Leung was.
When one lot retired another lot took
their places"
The reformer will go to Kauai next,
where there are also reported to be
many supporters of the progressive
movement. Invitations from there have
already come, as well as from Maui,
which will also be visited before the
reformer leaves the Islands.

THE HOGAN CASES AGAIN
ORPHEUM AGREEMENT WAS NOT
EVIDENCE.
Mr. McClanahan Wins in Battle
Against Producing the Document
Evidence Taken This Morning.

The case of Thurley Thyous against
the Canadian Australian Steamship
Company, which is one of the Hogan
matters, was resumed in Judge Davis
court this morning. Mr. McClanahan
requested that the jury be excused as
there was a matter he wished to pre-
sent privately. On Saturday, it will be
remembered, Mr.. McClanahan was re-
quested to produce in court an agree
ment between the Hogans and the Or
pheum Company whereby the latter had
bound itself, for certain considerations.
to be responsible for the expenses of
the former in court.
Judge Davis this morning had soft
ened his heart" in regard to the matter
and permitted argument as to whether
or not this agreement should be intro
duced. Mr.. McClanahan pointed out
strongly that it was matter between
the plaintiff and third party and was
not evidence in the case before the
court. Mr.. Robertson argued contra.
The court sustained Mr.. McClanahan
and the agreement was ruled out.
M. c. Smith, Thurley Thyous and T..
r. Walker were called by the plaintiff
as witnesses. Mr.. McClanahan also
read the testimony of Captain Hem
ming, the purser of the Miowera and
other papers on file in the case of
Hogan himself against the company.
At IL o'clock adjournment was taken
to 1870 p. m.
1t is probable that this matter will
be given to the jury this afternoon.
Another of the Hogan cases will BE-
taken up at once. There are twenty
seven yet to be heard. AS each case
seems to take two days the hearings
will likely last far beyond the present
term. In the meanwhile it will be an
exceedingly hard matter to get jury
as everybody in town will probably by
then have had time to have formed
an opinion.

TO BALLOT AGAIN TONIGHT
SEVENTH MAY HAVE PRIMARIES
REPEATED.
Call for Another Election to be Held
From Seven to Nine O'clock This
Evening.

There will possibly be another pri-
mary election this evening in the sew
enth precinct, where the former cleo
ton was declared void on account of an
overplus of ballots in the box. A petit
tion is in circulation this afternoon
among the members of the Republican
committee of thirty-two, asking for the
calling of an election this evening
The new call gives the hour of the
election as from to o'clock this even
ing. A meeting of the club has already
been called for 1880, and it is expected
that there will be a full attendance of
members.
New candidates may be voted for at
the new election, though the same ones
will probably run again. The call was
circulated today by the friends of T.
McCants Stewart, but it was
signed by members of the large COM
mittee, who favor both sides. The first
name subscribed was that of Chairman
Cecil Brown. E. C. Winston and K.
r. G.. Wallace put in their time hunting
up the members of the committee to get
their names down on the document.
There will be new judges if an cleo
tion is held. 1t is thought that the
friends of both Sims and Stewart will
again rally to cast ballots as they did
last Saturday, and this time the judges
will not put the ballot box in a room
by itself.
II is Ine opinion OF some JnaJ Jne
election proposed for tonight will not be
a properly called one, and there is like
ly to be a protest against the result
whichever way it goes. The matter will
come before the convention for final
decision. One member of the general
committee stated this afternoon that he
did not consider the proposed election
as one that should be recognized.
Other members of the committee de-
clare that there will not be any election
tonight but that the delegates already
elected will appoint someone to repre-
sent the seventh precinct If this
course is followed Sims is likely to
have the appointment. At the meet
ing held last night a number of COM
promises, such as throwing out the ex-
ira votes divided equally between
both candidates, or throwing out tef
votes without looking at them. were
proposed. but the Stewart men did not
accept them.

sPONTANEOrs COMRUsTTON.

Recent Investigations on the spon-
taneous combustion of coal in ships,
according to the Revue Scientifique.
show that contrary to the general
opinion, ventilation does not help the
matter for plenty of welI-ventilated
vessels have perished in this way. Coal
should be as large as possible and
should contain no pyrites. which often
starts the combustion. Humidity is also
dangerous, and should never exceed
per cent. Some kinds of coal, such as
camel coal, are peculiarly infIammable
and should never be carried on ship
board. Water and air are best entirely
excluded, for in the complete absence
of both spontaneous combustion could
not occur The actual cause of the ac-
tion is oxidation, which generally be-
gins with the included pyrites, and, the
temperature thus being raised, spreads
to the coal
