REMEMBERS HIS FRIENDS
HUMPHREYS GIVES WORK

Cases Assigned to Kinney and Thurs
ton-Numerous Small Matters Han
died by Courts Today

This morning Judge Humphreys got
back at the 'old line" attorneys
again. 1t was in a mild way, but was
Of sufficient severity, Withal, to make
the nestors of the bar think bad things
and look ugly around the region of the
thinking appendage. There may be
some fun over the matter later, for
if attorneys can show that they are
too busy to be assigned in criminal
case they can make real naughty and
troublesome kick over It. 1t is under
stood that there will be something
along this line in connection with the
cases of this morning.
In calling the calendar there were
two criminal cases in which the de-
PENDANTS had no attorneys and no mo-
ney to pay for such a blessing doubt
full as the term may be. Judge Humph-
reys assigned his friend w. A. Kinney
to take the first and his good friend
l.. A. Thurston to take the second A
few days ago Kinney and Thurstor
wanted all of their matters heard be-
! fore Judge Humphreys. This was prob
| ably a matter of friendship, but more
probably a rebuke in a mild way fol
! the miscellaneous assignment of cases
In his action this morning Judge
Humphreys very effectually got back.
1t may be explained the practice
here in the past has always been fol
courts to assign cases to new attor-
neys, who have more time to devote t
them and who have regulations tC
make. This system has been followed
for many years and is well understood
The assignment of cases to attorneys
who have fat businesses and are up tC
their necks in work as it were is some
thing entirely Unprecedented.
In the matter of Kaiawe VS.. See
Hop, ejectment, it has been agree be
tween respective litigants that the tria
may be held in vacation without jury
Manuel Souza, who beat Manuel Cab
raj and was fined $40 in police court

LOOKED OUT FOR EVANGELIST
McCOMB.
Was on Hand When Turk and Lewis
Done Anything Wrong
Cost him s. a word.

w. Brannan, the alleged assistant of
Evangelist McComb was fined for pro-
tanity this morning by Judge Wilcox
Inc defendant when arraigned said
that he might have spoken some words
that came within the meaning of the
act prohibiting the use of profane or
obscene language in public places, but
that at least it was only a couple of
words. He is a union sailor and was
! expressing on King street his opinion
of some of the doings of the non-union
crowd. Five dollars each for the couple
of words, was what the judge assessed
him, and Brannan went to Jail to work
out his fine.
Evangelist McComb called at the po-
lice station early yesterday to deny
that he had anything at all to do with
Brannan. The idea of a man who was
in for profanity being classed as one
OF his men greatly shocked the evan
gelist who makes a speciality of the
rich water front harvest of sinners.
After informing the police that he
was not associated with the man in
Jail McComb changed his Sunday even
ing subject, in order to tell his congre-
cation the same thing. He had an
nounced timely sermon on THE
Christian in Politics" Instead he dis
cussed the Brannan case and waxed
eloquent in describing the iniquity of
the man who had said Brannan was
his associate.
Brannan himself gives very quaint
description of his connection with Nc
Comb. 20, | look out for him. when
| Turk and Lewis does anything wrong, ="
he said this morning. Il don't do none
of the RELIGIOUS work, except to drop
in at meetings. but ! wuz round when
Turk had the scrap on the wharf and
McComb had me fur witness"
McComb was not in court this morn
ing and Brannan says he has not seen
the evangelist since being arrested.
Meanwhile McComb needs another man
to watch out for him when Turk and
Lewis does anything wrong"
McCOmb has had his batteries train
cd on Turk and Lewis ever since he
opened up for business at the Joyful
News mission. He boldly announced
that Honolulu was not big enough for
both him and them, whereupon Turk
was heard to say something about the
preacher packing his grip in the near
future. Now McComb has another man
to eXcoriate--the prevaricator who
made the horrifying accusation that he,
McComb, had associated with a man
who got arrested for profanity.

CIRCUIT JUDGES MAY MAKE NEW
CITIZENS.
Applications for Naturalization Msy Be
Heard in All Judicial Districss-The
District Court.

Judge NJ. NJ. Estee, of the United
States district court, this morning rem
dered an opinion to the effect that the
Circuit Courts of the Hawaiian Islands
have jurisdiction to hear and determine
natpraltzatiOn petitions and to make
AHfrican citizens.
Tie Importance of this ruling or OPT
nion is readily manifest. 1t menas tina,
in zach of the Judicial districts such
matters may be settled, obviating the
necessity of a visit to Honolulu by the
applicant and his witnesses. Already
applications had come from both Maui
and Hawaii for Judge Estee to visit
these islands for the purpose of natu-
ralizing aliens.
The supreme court of the Territory
had never passed upon the question of
the jurisdiction of the Circuit courts in
such matters. 1t is understood, how
ever that Justice Galbraith comedies
with the views of Judge Estee. Both
base their opinion upon the Hawaiian
bill, which gives jurisdiction to any
court of record. AS all applications
thus. far have come before either the
Territorial Supreme court or the United
States district court, the matter has not
yet been formally discussed by the for
mer.
The difficulty in the way of islanders
in getting before the Circuit court is
the infrequency of terms. Considerable
impatience is manifest. OF course Chief
Justice Frear can order special terms all
over for the specific purpose of hearing
petitions for naturalization. Judge Es-
tees private opinion is that this should
be done.
In respect to his own court Judge Es-
tee said this morning: Il never expect
ed the Territorial government to furnish
chairs and pen wipers and spittoons for
my court. | was misunderstood on that
point. But l do think it was the duty
of the local government to provide suit
able accommodations for me. l need
not hold court in Honolulu at all. The
Hawaiian Islands is my district. I can
select HilO, Wailuku or Lihue or Homo
lulu or Pearl City as my headquarters
