CUNNINGHAM DISCHARGED
WAS NOT CRUEL TO HIS GRAY
MARE.
His Methods Of Training May Have
Been severe-Expert Evidence on the
Question Of "Hipped" Horses.

william H. Cunningham was found
not guilty of the charge of cruelty to
animals, this morning, and was dis
charged.
In discharging the case Judge Wilcox
said that he did not feel justified from
the evidence in finding the defendant
guilty. The testimony showed that the
appliances used were appliances regu-
larly and usually used in breaking
horses, and while they might become
appliances of cruelty, the evidence fail
ed to show it. The evidence given to
show that the animal was treated cru
ely was that of persons who each saw
the animal only once, and then for a
very short time. From what they saw
they were convinced that the animal
was being cruelty treated. But other
witnesses who saw the animal at differ
ent times when it was in the biting
harness, did not regard it so.
Admitting the right of man to make
a useful servant of the dumb animals
carried with it the right to use means
severe enough to accomplish the pur-
pose short of cruelty. And the most
that could be said in the present case
was that severe measures had been
used.
Hawai- Lincoln, a tram car driver,
was tried this morning on a charge of
cruelty to animals, and was also dis
charged. His offense was alleged to
consist in driving a "hipped" horse
which had other misfortunes, among
| them that he walked on the toe of the
foot of the "hipped" leg.
Evidence was introduced to show that
"hipped" horse, after he has recov-
cred from the accident which hips
him, can be used without cruelty, OF
! even pain to the animal, and Judge
Wilcox said that the horse having beer
! submitted to him for examination he
was satisfied did not walk on his toe
as had been claimed. The question was
not one of good taste, of driving g
"hipped" horse, which all must admit
had lost some of his good looks in the
process of "hipping," but whether II
this particular case there had been cru
city. The court could not see that there
had been, and the defendant was dis
! charged

PLANS OF CAPTAIN BRAY AS
MANAGER.
All Inmates Who are Not Sailors Have
Been Told to Get out-The Shipping
Business.

Captain Bray, who has just taken
hold of the Sailors Home, has given
notice to all roomers in the house who
are not sailors that they must move
out before the first of May. There is
not room enough in the home for the
sailors who want to stop there. All the
rooms are full and from ten to fifteen
sailors sleep on the floors every night.
The building was constructed on a very
poor plan for making the best of it's
space. II looks like quite a large
structure but over half of the interior
is taken up by very spacious halls and
lstairways.
II would like to have fifty more
rooms in the building" said Capain
Bray this morning. "The present faci-
lities are not nearly enough for those
who want to come, but l cannot turn
them away and when there is no more
room l give them a blanket and place
to sleep on the floor.
"As soon as we have American ship
ping laws and 1 ain able to do shipping
/ intend to open a regular shippiT 6
office, and shall be ready to furnish
crews to all vessels, There will be no
dirty work in connections with the bust
ness and no sailor will have to pay
anything for a job. Masters of vessels
will of course be charged for crews
| That is the rule in every port in the
world and is only right. 1 shall also
open a supply store in connection with
the home.
Sailors who live here will be charged
$6 per week for room and board, twen-
! ty-five cents for single meals and 4
dollar a week for bed alone. Those
who have no money will be allowed tc
stop here if they want to ship and
when they go to sea they may settle
| out of their advance money. They will
be put aboard at no cost to themselves
and the cost to the ships will be a good
deal less tha0 half of what I am told
is being paid in Honolulu now"
Captain Bray has been at sea fol
thirty -eight years, and is thoroughly
familiar with the needs of the bushes!
he has taken hold of, and the director!
of the Home hope that he will be able
to make a success of il.

FURNITURE Will Be Sold

The Government has decided to sell
it's excess furniture to the highest bid
der at auction. Minister Young has
been entrusted with the sale, and will
arrange the manner and time thereof.
The sale will furnish a splendid field
for curiO hunters. In the lot of stuff
are many pieces used by royalty, and
all of it has been intimately associated
with the fuss and feathers of the old
days. 1t is material wholly unsuited
to the democratic demands of a modest
American territory.
The following suggestions were today
made by members to the Cabinst they
were afterward discussed with DR..
Wood, and will be adopted:
That the offal of all stock slaughtered
shall be destroyed, and not fed out
That there shall be strict inspection
of dairies throughout the Islands.
That the United States regulations
regarding the inspection of meat be
adopted and be carried out on all the
Islands, and meat not up to the stan
dard shall be rejected, and not be al
lowed to be offered for sale on the
market.
That all animals coming from abroad
shall be inspected and quarantined II
found necessary; and all animals ship
ped to the other Islands, shall first be
examined.
These rules were brought up at the
instance of the veterinary surgeons,
and have for their object the stamping
out Of tuberculosis and other diseases
among cattle and horses.

SIRIS TREE HERE.
Commissioner Haughs Says it is Grown
On Honolulus Streets.

One of the city papers called atten-
tion few days ago to the value of the
siris tree and suggested that it might
be procured and grown here to advan-
tage. Commissioner Haughs of the Bu-
reau of Agriculture, states that the tree
is already on the streets of Honolulu,
and that it seeds well. Following is his
statement in regard to the matter:
The siris tree (Albizzia leblek), seeds
of which may be had by applying to the
Agricultural Department at Washing
ton, and described as coming from Cal
TO, Egypt, where it is used for a shade
tree along the streets, is nothing new
to these Islands, it having been here
for many years, and several large trees
may be seen in Honolulu. 1t is very
much like the monkey pod (Albizzia
saman) in shape and leaves. but the
seed pods and flowers differ somewhat
Like the monkey pod it seeds freely
here.

SECOND DISTRICT COURT.
TO OCCUPY SPACE IN EXECUTIVE
BUILDING.
New Court viii Open in a Few Days
With Judge Dickey on the Bench
win Handle Civil Business.

Honolulu is to have second District
court. 1t will be located in the base
ment of the Executive building. Sec
ond Judge Lyle A. Dickey will be the
magistrate to preside. He will be pro-
vided with a regular clerk and such
other help as appertains to Judge VIII
cox's temple Of justice.
The reason for the additional court Is
that the police business has grown out
of reach of one bench. This is the eX-
planation of the authorities.
The room to be occupied by Judge
Dickey is in the basement of the west
wing of the Executive building. The
chamberlain of the royal household for
merly held forth there. 1t Is a small
room, or suite of rooms, but will prob
ably be large enough for the purpose.
The decision to use this place, and to
put the court to work was reached by
the Cabinet this morning. Janitor
Green will at once put the rooms in
order, and II Is expected that within a
week they will be occupied.
Judge Dickey's principle work will be
in handling civil business. When there
is an excess of business in Judge VIII
coxs court, however, he will take over
such criminal matters as may be de-
cided upon at the time.

A BIG SAILOR CONTRACT
THREE THOUSAND DOLLAR DEAL
IN sEAMEN.
Rates for Seamen Go UP to Twenty
Dollars Man-Mighell Arranges for
His Ships.

A big sailor contract just made,
amounting to several thousand dollars.
said to be the first big thing in it's line
known in Honolulu, is the latest Am
erican idea, along the water front. 1t
was made by w. e. Mighell, the ship
owner, with local boarding masters, for
the purpose of getting crews for the
Mighell vessels. According to it's terms
the shipping men are to get 500 man
for all the sailors who sign for ships
owned by Mighell. Mighell has six or
seven vessels here or at other island
ports now, and more coming. so that
the contract is worth $4,000 to the ship
ping men.
BY the terms of the contract the ship
ping men are to get the $40 a head for
every man that goes, even those who
my be secured by the captains Of he
vessels. Conditions have changed In
Honolulu to such an extentfthat the
ship owners have begun to dig" FOR
every crew, and though the big local
firms have been making great COM
plants, as they were not used to paying
so much for having sailors pounded up,
they are beginning to get used to II.
When Mighell arrived here and was in
formed that the shipping business was
changing a good deal here, he declared
that he would have nothing to do with
any shipping men at all.
Twenty dollars a head is still less
than the rates at most of the coast
ports. Not very long ago S35 was asked
in San Francisco, and in some parts of
the world the boarding house men get
even more than that.
There is talk among local shippers
and agents of a petition to the Attorney
General, asking that steps be taken to
put a stop to this style of contract busi-
ness. At the rates prevailing there is
said to be four or FIVE thousand month
( in the business, including what comes
from the pockets of the sailors

IT IS DANGEROUS TO NEGLECT
A COLD.

Pneumonia is one of the most dan
gerous and fatal diseases. 1t always
results from a cold. Chamberlain's

and perhaps prevent an attack of
pneumonia. 1t is in fact made especi-
ally for that ailment and has become
famous for it's cures over a large part
Of the civilized world. 1t counteracts
any tendency of a cold toward pneu-
monia. Can you afford to neglect your
cold when so reliable a remedy can be
had for a trifle? For sale by all deal

ORDER YOUR MEAT EARLY.
Plan to Abolish Sunday Work Goes Into
Effect.

The new plan of the Metropolitan
Meat Company to have two deliveries a
day, including late delivery Saturday
afternoon, with the purpose, if possible,
of doing away with Sunday work, has
gone into effect. The first Saturday af-
ternoon delivery will be made tomor-
row. The company asks householders
to get their orders in as early as pOssi-
BILE tomorrow.
Mr. Waller manager of the company,
thinks there is no doubt but that meat
delivered late Saturday afternoon will
keep thoroughly well until Sunday af-
ternoon without ice. He does not ex-
pe2t the new plan to meet with univer-
sal favor at first, until people get used
to it, but he thinks that when they do,
they will find it a great advantage over
the former plan, and it will enable the
butchers and employees of the market
to have one day of rest in the week. He
asks that the public give the new plan
a fair trial

is REALLY DESTITUTE.
The Sequel to the Story of Old Lady
Paualua.

DR.. Howard has complained to Mar
shal Brown regarding the old native
woman, Paualua, who was reported
some time ago to be in destitute cir
cumstances, but, after investigation,
Mrs Beckley of the Hawaiian Relief So
ciety said that she was not. 1t is now
urged that the woman is really desti-
tute and some rather serious charges
are made against certain of her rela-
tives in the matter. Among other things
it is alleged that she never received a
cent of the $500 obtained by some one
in the house for property recently sold.
Paualua is considerably over 100 years
of age and is partially blind. She had
owned considerable property here and
in Puma. What has become of it will be
the subject matter of a suit, to be in
stituted unless the parties interested on
the other side dc what is claimed to be
just and proper.
