MARSHALL CASE DECIDED.

In his decision in the Marshall appeal
case Judge Estee accords with the view
of the Hawaiian Supreme Court and,
in effect, contradicts the Judgment
rendered by Galbraith and Humphreys
in the Edwards case that the Constitu-
ton followed the flag to these Islands.
At the present writing it is not re-
garded as probable that Marshall will
carry the case up, desirable as it would
be from a public point of view to have
the arguments raised by him passed
upon by the Supreme Federal tribunal
However, on the general plea embraced
in the Flag and Constitution ISSUE the
Supreme Court will render a decision
one that former President Harrison
says cannot be long delayed. When it
comes, If 1t is in line with Judge Estes
findings, and with the general attitude
of Republican jurists. it will end a con-
troversy that has lasted for one hun
dred years.
AS to the personal effect of the deci-
sion-the committal of Wm H. Mar
shall to the Territorial prison for six
months-there are varying views

LAW OF THE CASE.

The Advertiser, through the courtesy
of District Attorney Baird and United
States Marshal Ray. reprints the stat
utes under which the plumbers trust
and any other trust which acts as a
conspiracy in restraint of trade, may
be prosecuted on the one hand and sued
for damages on the other.
Chapter 647 of the Federal Statutes
declares illegal every contract or COM
bination in the form of trusts or osher-
wise or conspiracy in restraint of trade
or commerce among the several States;
person convicted of violating the
statute being amenable to fine not ex-
ceeding $4,000 or by imprisonment not
exceeding one year or by both said pun
jshments in the discretion of the court.
This law applies to the agreement be-
tween the plumbers trust of San Fran
cisco and that of Honolulu, in regard
to the control of supplies, a Territory
being adjudged a State for the purposes
of the act; and it is further supported
by a second section of Chapter CAT,
dealing with attempts to monopolize
Interstate trade or commerce.
The right to sue in the Federal Court
for three-fold damages incurred from
a conspiracy in restraint of trade is
conferred by Sec. Z. Chapter 647 of the
Federal Statutes. Hence If any man
has been driren out Of business or pre-
rented from finishing any contract cork
on reason of the refusal of the plumbing
trust to sell him supplies or to furnish
them ut the rates giUen members Of the
combine HE MAY SUE and rec0Uer
three times the amount of damages bU
him sustained together Uith attorneys
fees and costs. Such judgments were
rendered in the damage suits against
the San Francisco coal combine, cases
exactly parallel with those which may
be brought here.
Let us particularize: If there is an
independent plumber in town who,
through his refusal to enter the trust
is unable to get plumbing material
from a supply house, and is thereby
damaged to the extent of. say, $4,000, he
may. on proving his case in the Fed
eral Court get damages in $4,000.
If there is a builder or contractor
who cannot go on with any specific
work Of construction because of the
Determinations of the trust in the mat
ter of prices, he may sue the offending
firm in three-fold damages. That is to
say If he proves a claim of $4,000 he
will get judgment for $4,000.
So the work of smashing the criminal
| trust need not be left entirely to Mr..
Baird. Mr.. Macfarlane for instance, or
Mr.. High, or some of the frozen out
plumbers, may take a hand and give
the trust a lesson that it will never
/ forget.

j. Emmeluth, plumber and dema-

story is that he demanded capital pun

the missionaries" in disgust because
they would not agree to his blood
thirsty program. The columns Of the
Advertiser are open to Mr.. Emmeluth

A check for $4,000 and a pledge for
$1,000 more from the Hawaiian Evan
gelieal Board to the American Board of
Commissioners for Foreign Missions
shows that the missionary spirit in
these Islands Is still one of zeal and
generosity in giving. Christian people
here are always ready to put their
hands in their pockets for the extension
of the Gospel and in the course of years
have given an enormous sum. in pro-
portion to their numbers. for that OBJ
ject.

ALL ON BOARD PERISHED
NONE ESCAPED FROM UNKNOWN
WRECK IN ST. sIARY's BAY.
Last Victims Were seen to Succumb
to Cold and Wave-Much Wreck
age Has Been washed Ashore.

ST. JOHNS, Newfoundland, Jan. Is, ! a.
m.-The following comprises all the de-
tails regarding the wreck in st. Mary's bay
that could be obtained up to midnight:
The ship is a two-masted steamer, of near
ly 5000 tons, and probably carried a crew
of sixty, with possibly some passengers.
She went ashore before daybreak Thurs
day. striking a ledge at the foot of the
cliff, where escape was hopeless. The
crew launched the boats. but probably
during the panic some were crushed
against her sides, others being swamped.
and all the occupants apparently perish
ing. The ship was seen TO be on fire by
residents six miles away. Attracted to the
scene, they found the after half of the
wreck blazing fiercely and the fore part
under water. kerosene in the cargo helped
the blaze.
At that time only three men We're left
on board. Two were on the bridge and
one was in the rigging. Those on the bridge
were safe until about 2 p. m, when they
were washed overheard and drowned, the
bridge being carried away. The survivor
soon after left the rigging, swan to the
rocks and twice endeavored to get foot
ing. Failing in this. he made his way back
10 the rigging, where he died of exposure
during the night.
Many dead bodies are visible tossing In
the surf. Two Of them thrown up In a
cove cannot be reached owing to the heavy
sea. One is thought to be that Of woman.
Boats and other wreckageN are strewn
among the rocks for miles.

the day before. and it was impossible to

10 such anextent that 1t has sunk beneath
the waves. A severe gale is raging to-
night which is likely to reduce her to
fragments. The wreck commissioner hopes
to be able to obtain her name to-day (Sat-
urday.) Residents along the shore made
every possible effort to rescue the sur
vivors in the rigging, but lacking proper
outfits they were unable to succeed. There
is not the slightest prospect that any per-
son on board escaped death, as the in
tense midwinter cold would kill any who
escaped drowning.
A messenger who has just arrived from

with womens clothing has been washed
ashore there. as well as a garment which

KILLED ONE OF HIS WIVES.
Arrest of Alfred Morrison ON the
Charge of Murder.

NEW YORK, Jan. 12.-Aifred Morrison,
who shot and killed one OF his wives with
whom he was living in Mount Vernon, is
under arrest. Crowds waited around his
house all day in anticipation of the arrest
and they followed Morrison, who was in
charge of two det tives. to the courthouse,
where he was a ned and held to the
grand jury on the charge Of murder in the
first degree.
Morrison, on the night of Dec. 2S, shot his
wife Aida and sne died the following day.
He appeared to be grief-stricken over the
affair and told pitiful tale of how the
shooting was the result of fright occa-
stoned by a dream of burglars. The woman
herself, knowing that death was certain,
said the shooting was accidental and at
tributed it to the same cause as Morrison
did. The coroner's jury exonerated him.
Some days after Morrison's original wife.
whom he married many years ago under
the name of Gordon gave out the informa-
ton that the man was a bigamist and had
practically abandoned her, and from that
on facts tending to place Morrison in bad
light have developed. The police have been
watching Morrison ever since, and 1t was
rumored that Morrison was acting like a
crazy man. When he was placed under ar
rest to-day, however, he was very quiet
and perfectly composed. Judge Appel said
the depositions and other papers in the
case did not show that any crime had been
committed, or If any crime had been COM
mitted, that the prisoner at the bar had
committed one. He then moved that the
case be dismissed and the prisoner dis
charged. Judge Schatz denied this motion
and Judge Appel said he would wave ex-
animation and that the prisoner would be
committed TO await the action of the grand
jury. Morrison was committed to jail with
out bail The next grand jury will assem-
BILE in White Plains on the first Monday in
February. District Attorney Andrews to-
day claimed that he had sufficient evidence
to prove that Morrison. in shooting his
wife. committed a deliberate and premedi-
tated murder.

The Fight by Rounds.

Round MCCOY was first to land with a
left hook on the jaw. Joe broke away and
Mccoy forced him to his corner, where
Choynski slipped to the floor. The Cali
fornian jumped up quickly and placed a
left swing on McCoys jaw, but the kid
sent back a couple of hard lefts on the
face and a stiff right over the heart. Nc
Coy had all the better Of the round.
Round 2-Choynsk sent the kid" to the
floor with a right on the jaw. Mccoy took
nine seconds Of the count and when he got
up Choynski sent him down again with a
left on the marx. Twice more Mccoy was
fioored and he went to his corner bleeding
badly from the nose and mouth.
Round s-McCoy fought like crazy man
when he rushed out of his corner and
Choynski was equally erratic. They set all
ring rules at defiance. but Mccoy got the
better Of the Western man at close quar-
ters. Choynski rushed Mccoy. but the
Kid was too spry on his feet and Joe
slipped to the floor in vain attempt to
land q swing. When Joe got up he ran into
clinch. from which the referee had to
separate the men. Then Choynski landed a
right swing on the jaw and Mccoy went

count. When Mccoy got up Choynski
rushed at him, but his legs gave way and
he fell to the floor. He regained his feet,
however. In an instant In hot rally Nc
Coy hooked his right to the jaw. Choynski
landing his left at the same moment and
both men went down. Just as they got up
the men rushed at each other and the bell
rang while they were mixing things up in
lively fashion. Neither man evidently heard
the gong and Mccoy whipped his right over
on the jaw and ChoynsKi fell. There were
wild cries of ''fou.. foul.' as Choynsk was
carried TO his corner and the Californian
was unable TO respond when the bell called
him for the fourth. Choynski's seconds
threw up the sponge as Mccoy rushed from
his corner for the opening of the fourth
round. and Mccoy was declared the winner.
Danny Duane and George Jansen. both
OF this city, met in the preliminary, and
Duane stopped Jansen in less than two
minutes In the first round. Duane was then
