Manager PAIN FINED S5
STREET RAILWAY CASE BEFORE.
WILCOX.
An Appeal Taken at once to the Circuit
Court-Nol Pros as to Foreman and
Laborers.

Contrary to expectation created by
statements in court last Tuesday, the
charge of common nuisance against
Manager Pain of the Hawaiian Tram
ways Company, his foreman and three
labOrers, was not nolle pressed in the
District Court this morning, but went
to trial Deputy Attorney General Dole
appeared for the government. Minis
ter Young was present in court and so
was s. NJ, Ballou of the Rapid Transit
Company. Paul Neumann appeared
for the defense.
Marshal Brown was called and testi-
fled that acting under instructions
from the Interior department he found
the employees of the company digging in
King street in the process of track lay
ing. He told the foreman it must stop,
and Manager Pain coming up at that
instant saying the work was being done
at his discretion, Pain, the foreman
and three laborers were put under ar
rest. On cross-eXamination Marshal
Brown said that there were two rails
in position as though they We're to be
connected as a switch to the main line
and that Mr., Pain told him it was the
intention to make the connection.
The correspondence between the
Minister of Interior and Paul Neumann
giving directions to the company to
quit tracklaying until the question Of
right was settled in the courts, was put
in evidence.
Road Supervisor John Ouderkirk tes-
| titled that he had given no permit to
! do the digging complained Of He
could not however say that his prede-
| cessor had not. With this testimony
| the Government rested
| Neumann moved the discharged of the
/ defendants on the ground that the Sec
I ton of the law under which the charge
| was made did not require a permit.
| This motion was argued at some
| length.
| Paul Neumann argued that the law
did not give the Minister of Interior
| the power to issue an order which was
virtually an injunction to stop the COM
pany from work, when the courts in the
same matter had twice refused to grant
an injunction.
The court fined Manager Pain S. from
which judgment an appeal was at once
] taken. A mol pros. was entered as to
| the foreman and laborers.

NOALARNENISTS At HAMA.
A NUMBER OF LABoRERS HAVE
REMITTENT FEVER.
But There is Not a Greater Amount OF
Sickness in the District Than Last
Year.

Full information has come from Hama
regarding the sickness reported as eX-
listing there of which publication was
made in The Star of January 8. DR..
McGettigan who is in medical charge
there, reports to the Board of Health
that a number of laborers have been
suffering from remittent fever. For con-
venience of care and attendance these
were all placed together. But they were
not quarantined nor isolated, nor did
he consider it necessary to do so, nor
did he consider that there was anything
alarming in the situation. There has
been the usual number of remitent few
er cases in the different plantations
camp, but there is no greater amount
of sickness in the district than there
was at this time last year.

MEDEIR(S HASN'T PLAGUE
SOLDIER TAKEN FROM PRISON
LAST NIGHT.
DR.. Hoffman's Judgment is That There
Are No Symptoms-Mrs. Roth's Ser

Thursday-Plague deaths, 0; plague
cases, 0; suspicious cases, 0.
Private A. Medeiros, Company {, N.
G.. H., who was taken from oahu prls-
on yesterday afternoon on suspicion of
having the plague, is not afflicted with
the dread ailment according to the
judgment of DR. Hoffman this noon.
DR.. Hoffman had been with the man
at the pest hospital a great part of the
forenoon. The Board of Health was
greatly pleased by his report. OF course
it is possible that symptoms may be-
come more manifest later.
Medeiros was court-martialed week
ago for leaving his post while on guard
duty in Chinatown, and sent to Oahu
prison under a sentence of imprison-
ment for ten days and fine of $50. If
his case had been one of plague 1t would
have opened up a new difficulty, as all
the prisoners would have been sent to
quarantine as we'll as quite a batch of
National Guardsmen,
Ng Gee, Mrs. Roth's Chinaman, died

was taken there Tuesday afternoon.

held on the body at the Board of

Grafton for their friends, have gone in

from Chinatown at 12 o'clock last night
and the special guards under the police
department took charge.
Company G packed up this morning
and will this afternoon march to Ka-
lihi to join the first battalion in guard
duty there. This extra force will be
a great help as the three companies or
duty at the detention camp have had
their hands quite full.
All the uniforms of the National

HOW THE HAT WAS TAKEN
CLERK DISCHARGED FROM THE
cBsToM HOUSE.
Marshal Brown Says That an Injustice
Was Dons-Efforts to Have the Mat
ter Readjusted.

A clerk in the custom house was dis
charged on Tuesday on account of
charges preferred against him that he
had mis-used the position he tempor-
arily occupied as an inspector for the
Citizens Sanitary Committee. 1t was
alleged that he had robbed a Chinese
store of a hat after the fire. Complaint
was made to L. A. Thurston, who COM
municated with collector general
Stackable, with the result that the
young man was at once told that his
services were not needed in the custom
house.
According to Marshal Brown and 9TH
ers who have been looking into the mat
ter the action taken in the case, with
out investigation, was a great injustice
to the custom house clerk. 1t is stated
that he lost his hat, as well as spelling
suit of clothes, while at work during
the fire. on Sunday, with the hat
| smashed in, he entered the Chinese
/ store and asked to be given a hat,
promising to pay on Monday and CIV
| ing his name and address. The China
man refused to give credit, there was
an alteration and the young man took
the hat, leaving with the proprietor of
! the store the card on which were his
name and address. 1t was this card
that enabled his identity to be estab-
lished at all, and his friends point TO
it as conclusive proof that no dishon-
esty was intended. The young man says
that he offered the money to the Chino
man on Monday, before he heard that
any complaint had been made, and was
surprised to find that the Chinamar
had been told not to accept payment.
"I have investiga.e,- the matter" saic
Marshal Brown this morning, land am
satisfied that there is nothing in the
charge against the young man. He
was certainly indiscreet, but 1 think he
was pushed to the wall with unneces-
sary severity. The story that he left his
name and address with the Chinamar
is true, as I have found"
Many efforts have been made to have
the young man vindicateu as a result
of the discovery of the real circum-
stances of his act. The charge was with.
drawn by the Chinese merchant anC
Mr.. Schweitzer who was acting in hi:
behalf and Marshal Brown, made al
appeal to Mr.. Thurston. The latter de
clined to take any new step in the mat
ter, giving as a reason the many re
ports that have been made of swindlini
and robbery of Chinese by men VIII,
were employed by the Board of Healtl
or the Sanitary committee. The clerl
who was discharged has lived in Homo
lulu all his life and many friends de
clare that he is above suspicion of sucl
. work as that attributed to him. Othe
positions have been offered him ant
: efforts are still being made to vindicat
, his character "There is no other charg
in the case than that growing out o
: the hat business" said Marshal Brown
} land among all the other cases of rob
berry in Chinatown, none are traceabl
to the young man in question"
