Decision by the Supreme Court This
Morning-Canton Hotel Controversy.
Other Matters.

The Supreme Court this morning sign
ed a decision in the case of Pekelo
Akeau VS.. Iakona, ct al, sustaining the
decision of the lower court. 1t is ruled
that a court of equity cannot on the
ground of fraud set aside a decree of a
probate court admitting a will to pro-
bate, the alleged fraud consisting in
adding the name of a second witness to
the will after the death of the decedent.
In the matter of the Hawaiian Trust

ton, Helen A. Duming and Gear, Lam
sing & Co., the two defendants first
named have filed an answer admitting
that one third interest in the Canton
hotel land now occupied by the Waverly
block, belongs to plaintiff and denying
that Gear, Lansing q Company are the
assigns of the lease of the property or
that the lease is assignable. In their
answer Gear Lansing & Company said
that the plaintiff acquired title through
an instrument of conveyance signed by
one George A. Aldrich, a non compus
mentis.
The matter of the estate of the late
Antoine Rodrigues has been returned to
the Circuit court for new hearing and
further proceedings, the Supreme court

BISHOP WILLIS POSTPONES IT
INDEFINITELY
Says He has Received Further Light
on the Troubles Now Comforting The
Anglican Church.

His Lordship, the Bishop of Honolulu,
has postponed the meeting of the An
glican Synod until further notice
Members of the clergy and the diocese
this morning received letters in their
mail appriSing them Of the fact. 1t is
not now known when the meeting will
be held but it will probably not be for
some time to come.
The session was called to discuss GER
tain provisions of the charter in connec-
tion with the tansfer to the American
church. Among other things the char
ter provides that the English prayer
book shall be used, which would be i'm
possible under the American system.
Again, considerable property is involved
1t is in the hands of a board of twelve
trustees. These trustees can not let go,
under the charter until somebody is in
sight to receive the property. In his
letter the Bishop says he has received
further light on the matter. The light
came from an American Bishop, up in
Vermont. The following is the letter
calling the session of the Diocese:
Alfred, by Divine permission, Bishop
of Honolulu to our beloved in Christ,
Henry Smith, Synodsman.
Greeting: y
I'VE do by these presents cite YOU
to the Third session of the Fifth Dio-
cesan Synod, which we convene in the
Cathedral church of Honolulu on Mon
uay, the seventh day of January, 1901.
Given under our hand and seal this
18th day of September in the year of
our Lord, 1900
ALFRED HONOLULU"
Biship Willis was quite formal
in the above letter, but in the fol-
lowing, which has just been received by
the church members, is more democra-
tic. His Lordship says:
ITO the Clergymen and Synodsmen of
the Diocese of Honolulu.
MY Dear Brethen:
Since asking for your attendance at
an extraordinary session of the Synod
on January I, 1901, new light has been
thrown on the situation from which it
becomes evident that it would be pre-
mature to come to a decision imme-
diately on the principal matter l had
to lay before you. AS the position be-
comes better understood, l shall be able
to consult with you on a surer founda-
tion than that on which / had supposed
action could be based. l therefore post
pone the meeting of the Synod to a fu-
ture day or which due notice will be
given.
Yours very faithfully
ALFRED HONOLULU

THINKS He IS GUILTY
IWILEI KNIFE wIELDER PLEADS
DRUNKENNESS.
Tells the Police He Thinks He Cut
Toma But Does Not Know-Toma
Identifies Him.

Insanity from drunkenness appears
to be the plea of Kaga, the Japanese
accused of nearly killing Toma at Iwi-
lei yesterday morning He has told the
police that he thinks" he did the cut
ting, and at the police station last
night he acted as If still very drunk.
According to his story Kaga spent
yesterday in hiding at PunahOu, in the
bushes. An attack of cold feet" is
supposed to have caused him to give
himself up. After a day of hiding he
probably became hungry and didn't
feel equal to the strain of being pur-
sued. The comforts of q Jail appealed
to him, and he went to the station and
gave himself up. He acted as if much
intoxicated, but appeared to become
suddenly sober when given shaking
up.
Kaga appeared in court this morning
He is very hard-looking Jap, of pow
erful frame. A charge of assault with
a knife to commit murder was placed
against him, and the case went over
until Monday. Attorney De Bolt ap-
peared for him.
Kaga appeared to be still preserving
his dazed demeanor. He stood before
the judge with open mouth and look
ed straight ahead of him, not seeming
to hear or care about what was going
on. The police thing he is acting, with
a view to making a showing for the
trail. officer Toma Abe took him in
charge and escorted him below.
Kaga was taken to the hospital last
night and Toma identified him as the
man who cut her.
The woman whom Kaga is accused
of cutting is said to have been brought
into the country about year since,
as his daughter. Kaga owned a bee
ranch a year ago, and sold it for $4,000
He appears to have decided to go into
the procurer business with the money
for he took a trip to Japan and came
back with two women. One was en-
tered as his wife and the other as his
daughter. Toma, his victim of yester-
day morning, is the daughter The al
legged wife is said to be now at Iwilei
Kaga's trip to Japan and back is
sample of how the population of the
Honolulu Yoshiwara is kept up

HOLD OUT. NO SESSION Of DIOCESE
TWO MAY FIGHT THE DISTRICT
ATTORNEY.
VIII be Proceeded Against Criminally.
Other Trusts and Boycotts Have
Toppled over.

Business combinations in restraint of
trade are toppling over before the
threats of District Attorney Baird. As
was expected at most hands, Mr. Baird
found the city full of such combina-
tions He investigated quietly and un-
earthed a surprising number. All were
given chance to cease and all eX-
cept two have done so. The district
attorney said yesterday afternoon
that unless these two dissolved in a
reasonable time he would proceed
against them criminally, having the
perpetrators arrested.
Il believe the plumbing trust is a
thing of the past" said the attorney.
The plumbers have gracefully accepted
the situation and have promised to
obey. L have informed the dealers in
plumbers supplies that if 1 hear of a
single case of a sale of goods to or
dinary customers above the list price
charged to plumbers, something would
drop. The dealers have agreed to COM
ply with the law and throw the market
open.
THE combination against drummers
has also fallen. This was a wicked
thing and showed a bad spirit in the
community. Where bOycotts of this
character are enforced there can hard
ly be a doubt about other wicked COM
binations in the same neighborhoods.
Two combinations in the city are
still holding off. / am giving them a
little time to think it over The men
in the combination are willing to give
up, but / understood their attorneys
are advising them to fight. 1t resolves
itself then into question of opinion
between these lawyers and myself. l
am rather in hopes the combinations
will consent to fight, as it would give
me pleasure to ventilate the cases in
the court. In both cases | will pro-
ceed criminally. | have the discretion
of proceeding civilly or criminally, as
the case may demand, and believe
that in these matters nothing short of
criminal prosecution will suffice.
"On account of the prosperity of the
Islands little or no attention has been
paid by the general public to illegal
combinations. This has served to in
crease the number and to embolden
the authors. I am sure it will be for
the best interest of the community that
all are destroyed and that business be
conducted on legal lines"

ESCAPE PROPERTY TAX A REAL HELL SHIP
VESSELS HURRYING TO GET OUT
OF PORT.
The Rosamond and Olympic and Their
Constant Race Joined by S. c. Allen
and st. Katherine.

Vessels which are able to get their
.cargoes out of port before the first of
the year will escape the heavy property
tax which is levied on that date. This
is the reason for some unusual activity
just now in the loading of sugar car
goes.
The schooner Rosamond and the bark
Olympic are racing again. In fact they
are always racing. 1t is race that
never ends. They try speed with one
another to San Francisco, then race in
discharging and loading and begin an
other contest back to Honolulu. When
a pilot boards either vessel outside Ho-
nolulu the captain GENES to the ladder
to see if he has won. 1t it is the Rosa
mond Captain Ward wants to know if
Gibbs has come yet, and If 1t is the
Olympic Captain Gibbs wants to know
If Ward has showed up. If the answer
is no the captain who gets such happy
reply swells up and asks the pilot to
have something.
This time the Rosamond and Olympic
have companions in the race. The barks
s. c. Allen and st. Katherine, which
both left yesterday, are in the contest
to get to the coast first, and the cap
tains of all four vessels will do their
best Captain Johnson of the S. G.
Allen has a quick vessel and some start
as has also Captain Saunders of the st
Katherine. SO far the Olympic has
won against the Rosamond but Captain
Ward thinks he will beat her yet, and
he is likely to get away Monday.
In the Honolulu loading and discharg-
ing race this trip there was much more
than mere rivalry. 1t was a matter of
dollars and cents for sugar cargoes thai
are in port next Tuesday, January :,
will be assessed the one per cent pro.
perty tax. By being IN the high seas
the cargoes escape this tax, which
amounts to a large sum on the two
cargoes. In the case of the RocaW0nd
the saving is about $l4OO and the Olym-
pic saves $1,000.
The Olympic is still loading and will
have to do quick work TO get away be-
fore the first of January.

POPE AN EXPANsIoNIsT.
Thinks We Ought to Hold the Philip
pines.

NEW YORK, December ia cable
to the Sun from Rome says: The
Italia announces that the Pope, after
conference with the Archbishop of Ma
nila, declared his conviction that the
United States should retain its hold on
the Philippines. The Pope considered
that 1t would gravely imperil Christ
ianity and civilization If the United
States should abandon the government
of the islands.
MANILA, December 16.-Most of the
time of the Philippine Commission is
now devoted to the tariff bill. Judge
Taft said today that generally speak
ing, the new rates would be about 40
per cent Of the existing rates.
1T will be essentially a tariff for
revenue" he remarked, but some of
the industries that are already estab-
lished will be given protection. The
Commission is not considering the
question of the constitutionality of
taxing United States products. The
precedents have been established in the
case of Porto Rico and by the military
Government of the Philippines. The
rate on kerosene will be reduced from
II to cents a gallon Some American
goods will be admitted free, and almost
| all will come in at reduced figures.

NOT LUCRATIVE POSITION
THE HAWAII DEPUTY MARSHAL
COULD NOT GET RICH.
Marshal Ray States That His Earnings
Would be About $1.25 a Month-An
EXpedient

Marshal Ray says that Hawaii island
will have to increase some in popula-
ton before a deputy marshal there
would be able to earn his salt. He
figures that at the present time dep
uty marshal could earn about 81 .25 a
month in and around Hilo. Sometimes
he would not earn so much, for there
is not always more than one paper a
month to serve and the papers only
pay fifty and seventy-five cents apiece.
In flush times, for instance in the
month of court term, the deputy
marshal might knock out $1.75 or 81.
OF course this is not much salary,
and the glory and honor of the position
is probably what makes the mouths of
Hilo people water for the office. Mar
shal Ray has been beseiged with appli-
cations and all of them have come
from good men. One man almost
threatened to lombard Honolulu if he
did not get the job, and George II. Will
liams employed lawyer Carl S. Smith
to lobby" for his application.
"All the business we have or may
have can be handled through the Ter
ritorial officers. On the mainland it is
a common thing for a United States
marshal to have accused men brought
before State magistrates and by them
bound over. l am sure that for a
long time it will be wisest and even
necessary TO resort to this expedient in
the country districts.
Judge Estee will open court at HilO
the last of January. L am not aware
of any business to come up at that
time, but there may be some."
District Attorney Baird has discov-
cred that there is no law against tear
ing down receipts for special taxes, as
practiced by Deputy Sheriff OVerend
in three Chinese stores in Hamakua.
Overend wanted the receipts to use as
evidence in liquor charges against the
Cinnamon and so took them from the
walls. Revenue Agent Thomas thought
he could be punished, but it is found
that there is no law covering the mat
ter Mr. Baird has written Attorney
General Griggs requesting the framing
of a law protecting government re-
ceipts on the walls of business houses.

TOMAS HARD LUCK

Toma, the japanese policeman, has a
grudge against the Iwilei knife WELD
er. Toma was offered $50 by the high
sheriff as a reward for catching Kaga,
and the officer started out on an all
night chase. He followed the hunt un-
til ne heard that Kaga had gone TO
give himself up and then he tramped
wearily back to- the police station and
borrow a quarter from Chillingworth
to get beakfast. 1t was heavy fall
from the hope of $50 and Toma says
that Kaga knew all about it and only
surrendered to do him out of the re-
ward.

LABOR ON HAWAII.
General Conditions In Kona and Kau
Districts Improving.

Reports from the Kau and Kona dis
tricts on Hawaii are-rather favorable on
the labor situation. The various plan
tations in the former section have been
able to make reasonably satisfactory
contract arrangements with the Japan
ese regarding the leasing of the lands
and cultivating on shares. Conditions
in this respect are not so favorable how
ever in the Kona district and while la
borers are still in demand, the general
condition seems to be improving.
The problem of introducing the negro
to these islands is arousing keen in
terest on Hawaii for it is the Kohala
plantation which has undertaken to
effect this measure. Should the negro
prove a desirable adjunct there is no
doubt but he will replace thousands OF
Japanese.
