HOODLUNSAIIAGCIRJSBIEE ORDERS A JURY
PEARL HARBOR DEFENDANTS
WIN A POINT
Jury Ordered for Bishop and Com
pany and the Case Set for Novem-
ber 25.

United states Judge Estee this morn
ing mace an order allowing and direC-
ting tEat a jury be impanelled for the
trial OF the case of the United States
against Bishop and Company, the first
case Of the Pearl Harbor lard con-
demnatiOn suits, and setting the case
for trial November %. This is a sub
stantial victory for the defendants,
who have been making a hard fight for
jury trials, as it is thought that a jury
OF twelve citizens Is likely To set high
er valuations on the land than would
"a court.
The Judge did not go into legal as
poets Of the question at all, simply hav-
ing his order entered on the records Of
the case. Though he stated that the
order had nothing to do with the other
cases. il is precedent that will prob
ably be followed. The Bishop and
Company case, the first one to be tried,
is TO be begun on November 20. All the
other cases were postponed until that
date, and they will follow in order.
Acting United States District Attor-
ney j. }. Dunno noted an exception and
appeal in behalf of the government, to
the order of the court. Judge Estee
remarked that as the order was not a
final one. it was not one such as could
be appealed, but Dunhe said that the
order was a matter that would be con-
sidered by a court of appeals when the
whole case came up, and the excep-
tion was duly entered on the record.
The following rule was adopted by
the court and entered among its rules:
when various actions are pending,
or when single action is pending with
more than one party plaintiff or de-
fendant, all resting upon the same gen
eral matter of right or defense, al
though there be no common interest be-
tween the parties, the court, by order,
at its discretion, may compel said ac-
tiOns. or. in case of single action the
claims Of the various parties, to be tried
together, and will enter a decree in
such cause conformably to the evidence
applicable thereto"

THE PEK|NG WAS IN PERIL
PACIFIC HEIGHTS sEARCHLIGHT
BNDANGERs VESSEL.
Light Blinded Pilot so That He Could
Not See Where the Channel Was
Located.

For the space of about Eve minutes
last Tuesday night the S. 5. city Of
Peking was in considerable danger OF
running on the reef. This danger Oc-
CURED while she was entering the har-
Dor, and was entirely due it is claimed
of some one who was operating the
searchiight on Pacific Heights.
Evidently, the operator of the search
/ light knew that the Peking was to come
into the harbor that night after dark,
and he seemed TO think it would be
quite an interesting sight, to throw the
searchlight on the vessel as she was
brought over the reef
Instead of throwing the searchlight
on the vessel for a few moments, and
then throwing the light elsewhere, the
operator kept the light directed on the
vessel from three to five minutes. While
the view of a big ocean liner entering
the port after dark, might have been
very interesting to those behind the
searChlight, it was a source of the
greatest annoyance to the pilot bring
ing the vessel inside, and incidentally
might have beer the cause of piling the
vessel on the reef.
| The searchlight was so powerful that
| it blinded the pilot and as long as the
light from Pacific Heights was thrown
on the vessel he was unable to
| see ahead. In consequence of this, the
| lights which serve to show the pilot,
which is the channel, were obscured.
The pilot lost his bearings for few
minutes and the big steamship was
/ in danger.
To make matters worse the light was
held on the vessel while she came a
considerable distance in toward the
shore. Had the light not been with
drawn from the vessel, there is a possi-
bility that she might have been run
onto the rocks, as the pilot was blinded
during all the time the light was held
| in his eyes.
Complaint was promptly made to the
managers of the Pacific Heights Com
pany and the request made that, in fu-
| ture. If the searchlight is turned on an
inward bound vessel, it be held but a
| few moments.
A similar experience was inflicted
some time ago by one of the United
States warships. which was lying In
port one night either the China or one
of the Occidental and Oriental vessels
! had to be taken out of the harbor al
night. When the vessel was leaving
the Pacific Mail dock, the men on the
! cruiser thrC ", their seafehlight directly
on the vessel and kept 1t there for llVe
minutes or more. The pilot was blinded
by the light and it was more good lucB
than his ability to direct the steering
of the vessel. that prevented the poa'
striking the rocks.

cations that have taken part in the re-
cent observances in connection with the

the matter Of a monument. The meet
ing Will probably be held in a few days,
and will be devoted to discussion Of
ways and means of erecting a suitable
monument
There are quite a number Of commit
ices formed and TO be represented at the
meeting. The Chamber Of Commerce
committee, Bar Association, Citizens
committee, Federal officials, a commit
tee Of the judiciary appointed by Judge
Estee, the japanese merchants commit
tee, the Merchants Association and
others will be invited to attend. The

ANDRADt REFUSES 10 GO
PLENTY OF PILIKIA AT THE
TERRITORIAL STABLES.
Schuman Reported at Bottom of Deal.
John Wise Stands Ready to Repel
Boarders All Night.

The situation has been strained at the
Territorial stables for the last twenty
four hours and at one time it looked as
if there was going to be actual gore
split in the imbroglio.
AT the shareholders meeting yester-
day afternoon for the purpose of elect
ing three directors to fill the vacancies
made by the designations of DR.. Shaw
Cecil Brown and j. McIuerny the fol-
lowing were appointed: Henry Jaeger,
w w. Chamberlain and +. S. Thomas.
f 5. Thomas was then appointed in the
place of John Andrade as manager
Andrade who considers that he has
been most ungratefully treated by Gus
Schuman who with Jaeger have been
instrumental in his displacement refused
to recognize the new manager and
fired one or two men who refused to
obey his orders after Thomas was for
maly installed at five o'clock.
To provide against forcible eviction
friends and stockholders who uphold
Andrade assembled in force to repuse
all attempts. These We're Princes Cupid
and David, John F. Colburn Carlo Long
and Interpreter John Wise. The latter
held the fort all last night and at ten
o'clock this morning was still at his
post. breakfastless, unshaven but de-
termned 1t is said the Colburn fac
tion issued orders that any attempt at
taking possession was to be repulsed
vi ct armis even to bloodshed.
Everything went along peacefully
this morning although frequent alarms
of "the enemy's" imminent approach
were brought in by interested scouts
who were anxious for the fray.
Andrade did not wish to make any
statement beyond the fact that the
other party were in the majority and
would, he supposed take legal action
and have him evicted. He was deter
mined to hold the fort up TO the last
minute however.
Schuman is reported to have sold his
shares to Jaeger which would furnish
Jaeger with a controlling interest by a
narrow margin of a few shares There
are 1900 in all Of these of which the
Schumann-Jaeger combination holds
1856. Rumor among the horsemen of
town says that Schuman is the power
behind the throne in this move and has
got finger in the pie of several of the
livery stable propositions around town.
He is said to have been the moving
spirit in the late club stable deal
whereby Charlie Bellina once more re-
sumed managerial sway on the pre-
misses.

Police officer Barney JOY made
clever capture this morning at Iwilei.
lie took into custody a Japanese. who
Is wanted at Hilo to answer to the
charge of emblezzlement. Kuranishi
alias Nishida is the name OF the man
for whom the warrant calls, and JOY
is confident that he has the right man.
The authorities have been looking for
Kuranishi for some months. Some time
last July a warrant for his arrest was
sent to High Sheriff Brown. A picture
of the Japanese was also sent along. B.
Onome claimed that by false pretenses,
kuranishi had obtained about $400 or so
from the complainant and other Japa-
nese and absconded with the FUNDS. The
alleged embezzlement occurred at Olaa
where all of the parties were employ
ed.
The warrant was given to officer Toma
Abe but Toma was too busy hunting
for Fujihara the escaped murderer, to
waste much time on Kuranishi, al
though the doughty little Japanese
policeman kept his port eye peeled for
any trace of the alleged embezzler.
Two days ago JOY was in the lwilei
district and he happened to notice
Japanese who was evidently a stranger.
JOY thought the mans face looked
familiar, and he inquired of the other
Japanese, who the fellow was. He was
told that the Japanese was not known
there so after coming to the police
station Joy hunted up Toma Abe and
secured the photograph of KuranisnL
He saw that the stranger was evidently
the alleged embezzler and the officer
arrested the fellow this morning.

THE SIOCKYARDS IS PAU.
AFFAIRS TO BE CLOSED UP WITH
IN THIRTY DAYS.
Has Valuable Real Estate
And Other Securities-Fire Was
Prime Cause Of Closing.

At the meeting OF the directors Of the
Honolulu Stockyards Company this
morning Il was finally decided that the
business should be closed down within
thirty days. At the stockholders meet
ing yesterday the matter of deciding
whether to continue or close down the
business was left entirely in the hands
of the directors
a number Of the stockholders were
desirous Of continuing the business but
the majority were anxious TO close up
the deal and accept the offers that had
been made for the stock and business.
Tenders for the stock have been receiv-
ed and the liquidation of the business
will be finished within a month.
Besides the live stock and carriages,
the company owns a valuable piece of
real estate In the corner on which the
burnt stables and corrals stood.
The Stockyards corporation was
started in August 1899 through the ef-
forts Of w. 5. Withers who has been the
manager Of the concern ever since. IL
was incorporated for the sum of $780,
900 most of which is paid up. The COM
pany dealt largely In the sale Of live
stock aside from its livery business and,
up to the time Of the fire last August
had always been regarded as being in
prosperous circumstances.
A dividend was shortly to be paid up
on the investment when the terrible fire
that burnt horses and stock together
occurred and crippled the working re-
sources of the concern. The insurance
was $35, 900, the real estate was consid-
cred to be worth $4,000 and II was be-
lieved that with cash in bank and out
standing accounts the loss would not
be very great
Mr.. Withers was away at the coast
upon a wedding trip when the fire oc-
CURED but the vacant premises of the
Automobile Company were leased for
six months some stock bought to re-
place that burnt, temporary corrals
erected with a smithy and business was
carried on.
Withers on his return took up the
/ tangled ends and IT was seen that the
fire had crippled the institution toe
badly for a prompt recovery. Discus.
sion has now ended in the dissolution OF
| the corporation. Withers will work
in connection with Gus Schumann II

FLAG POLE IS UNSAFE
JUDICIARY BUILDING POLE TO BE-
MOVED.
Executive Council Fears 1t Will Fail.
Money Spent in Fighting the Fire in
Hamakua.

The Executive Council this morning
decided that the big flag pole in front
of the Judiciary building is unsafe, and
it will be taken down by Superintendent
of Public Works Boyd The pole shows
signs of decay at the bottom, and IL is
not thought best To wait for it to break
off and fall, when strained by a high
wind. The pole viii be presented to
some school. so that it may be safely
erected again.
Boyd reported to the council that
about $1,000 had been spent in lighting
the fire at Hamakua. 1t is understood
that the next legislature will be ad-
vised to reimburse the men who have
been spending time and money trying to
control the disaster than has cost so
much to the district.
H. n. Almy, manager of the Waikiki
Inn, was -ranted a renewal Of his Ii
cense for the coming year. A light
wine and beer license was granted TO
Junius Kaae, of Kapaa, Kauai, his ap-
plcation having been approved by the
High Sheriff.

REiNSURED THE SIRENF
RATE WAS RAISED EIGHT PER
CENT.
BY San Francisco People When the
Vessel Had Been Out But About l45
Days-Came from Bremen.

When the news was received in san
Francisco about a week ago, telling of
the safe arrival here of the German
ship Sirene from Bremen, there was
sighs of relief from the insurance peo-
pie. Until the news was received the
vessel had been reinsured at an advance
of per cent as she was overdue nearly
80 days
Ordinarily passage from Bremen to
this place should be made in about l3O
days Some vessels have done it as
good as 125 days, while the record is
about 10 days. The Sirene ought to
have reached here the first week in
September but she was overdue and did
not come into port until October 3 being
15S days out. She was then overdue a
good 2S days.
Toward the latter part of September
the people in San Francisco began to be
worried about her and when the boat
became overdue reinsurance was taken
at an increase of s per cent.
Reinsurance at the increased rate was
offered when the boat had been out
about 145 days. The vessel did not
show up in Honolulu until she had been
out 1853 days and not until a week later,
did the San Francisco people hear or
her arrival.
The vessel was detained off the Horn
by storms and had slow passage with
frequent calms. She was never in any
great danger during the trip, which ap-
pears to have been quite uneventful.
Spectators in the insurance made a
nice little profit on the boat.

PORTUGUESE YOUTHS PLAY THE
PART OF PEEPING TOM.
Throw Rocks and Cut Canvas-Police
Protection Will be Furnished in the
Future

A gang Of hoOdlums. composed,
almost entirely. IL Is said. Of Por-
tuguese. have been causing no little
annoyance to the proprietors and per-
formers OF the circus which is now
playing on the vacant lot opposite the
hotel
The performers who have been SO
long together that they are almost
members of one family are very differ
ent from the usual preconceived idea
of "circus folk and have done moth
ing to provoke the attack of the hood
lums. Last night a band of the young
tOughs amused themselves by throwing
rocks upon the canvas roof and watch
ing them bump down again to the
ground. Not content with this, cou-
pie OF stones were tossed through an
open flap into the interior one hitting
the keys Of the piano and narrowly
missing Mrs. Beverley and the other
grazing the instrument and dropping
into the crowd.
on top of this the older neer do
wells slashed incisions in the dressing
tent where the ladies' of the company
don their circus trappings and poked
their heads through the flap in peep
ing Tom" fashion. Other slashes with
knives were wilfully made in various
parts of the canvas walls some with
evident idea of getting a free peep at
the show and others apparently out of
sheer malice.
High Sheriff Brown stated this morn
ing that the notice in the morning pa
pers was the first intimation he had
had of the trouble and added that the
manager had paid 800 Territorial IL
cense besides the regular license Of
$3.50 every performance and was en-
titled to police protection which would
be accorded to him at the government
expense.
There were several police officers see
ing the performance last evening, all
of whom were off duty. They made an
attempt to catch the crowd of hood
lums who dispersed in all directions
when they were found out. No repeti-
ton of the affair will occur again as
there will be an officer on guard to-
night.
Aside from the attempts of the older
boys to peep into the girls dressing
tent. II is thought at police headquar1
ters that the stone throwing and knife
cutting started with some adventurous
youngster who attempted to crawl un-
der the tent walls and get free show,
being thrown out and retaliatiRg with
a mob of his friends by cutting the can
vas and throwing rocks.
! A good sized crowd including some
of the best known people of the town
attended the performance last night
which was given with the usual VIM
/ The circus folk have made no promises
of impossible performances and have
already become a popular institution
A number of changes will be made In
