EIGHT RETURNED IN CIRCUIT
COURT.
Six Defendants Plead-Mate McCarty
of the st. James Pleads Guilty Before
Estee.

The eight indictments found by the
Grand Jury were returned i'm Judge
Gears court this morning and six of
the defendants were arraigned, all
pleading not guilty. One of them has
not yet been apprehended. He is Mat
sumoto, a Japanese, charged with lar
ceny in the second degree.
Sun -Chun, the Chinese who was shot
while he was supposed to be stealing
chickens, is still in the hospital as a
result of his wound and was therefore
not indicted. The other cases are as.
follows:
Palenapa, larceny second degree. held
by Judge Wilcox; Kealoha, larceny in
the second degree Wilcox; Lui OLIVIA
embezzlement. Wilcox; Tilika. assault
with a weapon; Kiki assault with a
weapon, Wilcox; Tilika had no hear
ing before a district magistrate.
The cases were all added to Gears
calendar, but are not likely to be reach
ed during this term of court. The
eight indictments represent the net re-
suits of the Grand Jury's labors.
Second Mate Patrick McCarty of the
bark st. James pleaded guilty before
Estee of beating a sailor at sea. His
case is one in which an accusation was
brought against the master of the YES
sci as we'll Captain Tapely, for not hav-
ing stopped the beating, but after be-
ing satisfied that the captain did not
see the cruelty, Attorney Dunno with
drew the charge. After remaining in
Jail about a month McCarty concluded
to plead ~uilty and ask for mercy. He
said he had never been under arrest be
fore Judge Estee gave him a sentence
of 80 days
The government is very glad to get
rid of MCCarty's case, as about half
a dozen witnesses were being held in
Oahu Jail at much expense. McCarty
chose to plead guilty as the quickest
way out. If he had remained to fight
the case he would have had to wait
until November for a Grand Jury. AS
it is he will be free man some weeks
before his trial would have begun, and
long before other ships officers in his
fix know what their sentences are to

WITH CHINESE
AND JAPANESE CONsULs.
Court of Claims Now Has 6O59 Claims.
May Sit After the Six Months Ex-
pire.

The 6059th claim before the court of
fire claims was filed this morning,
bringing the aggregate amount asked
for up to $2,46l,000. In three months
the court has heard less than a thou
sand claims and has considered, or at
least decided, none. At this rate the
six months to which the appropriations
for the court are limited will not be
enough time for decision of over a
third of the claims.
Negotiations are under way, however.
for the compromise of in bulk of a
most of the Chinese and Japanese
claims, and if this is not accomplished,
1T is possible that the court will sit be-
yond six months. The act creating
the court contains nothing to prohibit
1t keeping in session as long as the
members desire. The pay provided for
the members and the clerk and steno-
graphers, however, is only enough for
six months. The members of the court
are disposed to think it would be wise
to keep on and finish the business, re-
lying on the next legislature to make
up the deficit The court of claims has
been in session continuously since it
was organized and has done very hard
work. New claims may be filed up to
September a. so that the total of 6059
will be increased.
The Chinese and Japanese claimants
are ready to agree to any compromise
their consuls make, and negotiations
are in progress with the government
looking to such compromise. If an
agreement should be made it would
have to be submitted to the court of
claims. If the court approved, it could
order the claims paid. This would dis
pose of about 1000 claims at once, and
would leave the court with much better
chances of gettin~ through in a reason

ian claims. ]. j. Dunno appears for

The last visit of the board to the set

The board this afternoon will prob

one bid was received at the last meet

President Wight that the company

DOLE and GtAR AGAIN
All QUONG RELEASED AND RE
ARRESTED.
Was Found Guilty of a ViIainous
Offense-Dole Says Trials Were Con-
stitutional Anyhow.

corpus TINS morning by Judge Gear

case being added to the already long
list of prisoners freed under Gears re-
cent decision and taken into custody to
De tried again ii the Supreme Court
does not reverse Gear. The occasion
u AN Iuong release furnished an
other interesting discussion between
Judge Gear and Attorney General h.
/. Dole.
The facts in the case, as usual, were
admitted, and Judge Gear once more re-
peated his decision that the defendant
mad not had a constitutional trial and
conviction. All Quong's offense was
peculiarly revolving one and aroused
great Indignation when it was new to
The public. He was convicted of rape
his victim being a little white girl on
Hawaii. He was never indicted by
Grand Jury and Gear held that the con-
viction was therefore illegal. All Quong
enjoyed few minutes of freedom and
then he was taken to Jail again.
Attorney General Dole gave notice of
appeal and Judge Gear again assured
him that he knew of no such proceed
ing There was another short dialogue
as to the constitution and the flag, both
Judge and Attorney General stickir to
tii0i views DIS VI olu' Ine Attorney
General, however, made the contention
that the trials were legal even if the
constitution was here when the con-
Victions were had. He appeared ready
to admit that the Newlands resolution
extended the constitution of the United
States of Hawaii, but declared that un-
der the constitution the trials were
legal anyhow. The Peacock decision
was referred to, and Dole acknowledge
ed that it was wrong.
Decisions from the Supreme Court
are anXiously awaited and the justices
are at work. There are three points
upon which Gear and the lawyers are
very anxious to hear,-first as to the
disqualification of Perry; second, as to
the right of appeal, and third as to
whether the Newlands resolution ex-
tended the constitution to Hawaii or
not.

Defendants Arguing a Motion for a
Observation-Disclosures for Treat
ment of Jags.

The plaintiff in the case of Harrison
VS.. Magoon, ct al. closed his case this
morning. after a day and a half on the
witness stand. Harrison has been un-
der cross-examination for a whole day,
telling Attorney McClanahan various
details about his sheep trade with l..
G. Ables, by means of which he was
to give Ables sheep to the value of
1000 pounds sterling and was to receive
their value in Hagey drink-cure stock,
AS soon as the pIaintittS rested the
defendants moved non-suit Judge
Gear adjourned the case till 80 this
afternoon, eXcusing the jurors until to-
morrow, and Ballou and Robertson are
. spending this afternoon arguing the
non-suit.
Among the plaintiffs exhibits is the
list of instructions sent to him at sgd
ney, as to the conduct of a Hagey in.
stitute. Harrison declared that it was
the receipt of these instructions which
caused him to decide that he didn't
want to stay in the Hagey business.
The instructions gave many details
about the care of patients and the
treatment of those who were not sub
missive. 1t was declared necessary to
make some of the patients very sick
before they would quit the bottle and
the manager was given special orders
not to place any trust in the word of a
patient who used morphine. All NOR
phine-users were liars when it came to
tellng about their morphine said the
instructions. All medicines given were
to be kept profound secret, and pa
tients were to be duly impressed when
they had fits of vomiting that it was
the whiskey and not the medicine.
McClanahan wanted to know if the
consideration passed when the sheep
trade contract. which was also intro
duced, was made. Harrison said he
got Hagey stock,
did the two thousand pass? de-
manded the attorney.

While all the other market gave out

reports of a shade higher and 21k cents
higher, but nothing better. This market
was fun five cent higher and little
over a thousand hogs went across the
scales, against eight hundred for the
Saturday OF the week before. AS to
quality It may be said that it was good
for the weights but there were not many
heavy hogs or even medium heavy The
general run was to lights. The demand
was good clear up TO the close and buy
