No INTERESTING CASES
DOCKET BEFORE JUDGE WILCOX
SMILE ORDINARY.
Were no Interesting Holiday" Cases
To Afford Amusement to the Large
Crowd in Court Room.

The police court docket proved quite
disappointing this morning from a pic
turesque standpoint. Two holidays
coming together, one of them being the
biggest event of the year, caused many
to anticipate that some very interesting
cases would be called before Judge Will
cox this morning.
There were 81 cases but none were
characteristic of any holiday celebra-
ton. About eight DRINKS were prompt
ly disposed of with 81 fines each. The
docket was cleared in an hour, Judge
Wilcox and Deputy Sheriff Chilling
worth doing good team work.
Yishikawa was charged with cruelty
to animals. He was accused of driv-
ing horse which had small sore on
it's back. Mr.. Chillingworth stated that
since the incarceration of the Japanese
the horse had died SO under the cir
cumstances, the case was dropped.
Maggie Arno and Blanche, denizens OF
Iwilei, were charged with fornication
and keeping a disorderly house. The
cases in each instance were continued
until tomorrow.
Fl. Hansen was also charged with
keeping a disorderly house where Ii
quOr was sold without. a license. This
was continued until Tuesday morning.
He is accused of having some native
women dance the hula while a crowd of
men were present drinking.
]. r. Brown charged with assault and
battery on Kaia and Lum Woo charged
tine Gomez, had their cases continued
until tomorrow morning.
Manuel PementO was charged with
injuring a horse belonging to George
Kaieo. The case was continued until
Tuesday morning.

STRANGE POSITION OF PEARL
HARBOR DEFENDANTS.
Come Into Court Denying Ahirmations
They Have Endorsed Under Oath
Government Makes Motion

Several of the defendants in the Pearl
Hart land suits brought by the Fed
eral government have got into a most
peculiar position, with their answers
and amended answers. The latest do
cument they have filed is a clean de-
MAJ OF many pages OF statements which
in the original answers, made under
oath, they admitted to be true As
result, the United States. by District
Attorney Baird and Assistant Dunno.
has moved to strike out the amended
answers altogether, as being "unVeri-
fed, unauthorized by law or rule or
order of court, sham, ire evant, incon-
sistent, contradictory, insufficient, sub
stituted but not amended matter, not
specific and evidentiary and proba-
tive"
The defendants who have taken the
unexpected stand in their new answers
are the Honolulu Plantation Company,
Oahu Sugar Company, Oahu Railway
and Land Company and Dowsett estate,
represented by hatch and Silliman.
The Oahu Sugar Company, being one
of the defendants as to whom the suit
is about to be withdrawn, does not
matter.
In the original answers sworn TO-,
which these defendants made, they ad-
mitted everything in the governments
complaint, with the exception of the
stated value of the land. This includ-
e. many papes of allegations as to the
intentions of the United States to es-
tablish a naval station, the need of the
land involved for such purpose, etc.
The proceedings is a most eXtraor-
binary one" said Attorney Dunno.
"The defendants are now in the posi-
ton of coming into court denying what
they have declared under oath to be
true. Under such circumstances it is
no wonder that we move to strike out
the amended answers as sham and in
consistent and contradictory"
If the defendants should attempt to
introduce evidence disproving the allie
cations they now deny, it is claimed
that the sworn answers admitting the
truth of such allegations can be intro
duced against them.
The matter came up before Judge Els
tee this morning and was postponed
for one week. Some of the defendants
have not yet filed their amended an
swers, since Judge Estee struck out the
demand for a jury. 1t was in amend
ing in obedience to this order, that the
defendants the Honolulu Plantation
Company, Oahu Sugar Company, Oahu
Railway and Land Company and Dow
sett estate took the unexpected new
stand. They now deny everything the
government alleges, their answer sim
ply stating that the defendants deny
leach and every" allegation in the
complaint.
Next Monday the motion to strike out
and the demand for jury trials will
probably be heard.

The Short Life of Big Gun.

The bigger the gun the shorter its
life. Those monsters, the 110-ton guns.
cannot be reckoned upon to fire more
than 80 Iuil-charge rounds without be-
coming quite useless. The 67-ton gun
can Are 105 rounds, while the 6-inch
breech loader Is good for 40 or $50 full
charge rounds
The reason of this is that the terrific
heat and corroding effect of the powd
er wear away the bore at the chamber
end. and then the shell does not catch
the rifiing.
There is nothing for 1t then but tc
tend the gun to the factory and have
the barral bored and lined with new
