COURT HAS A BROWN DAY
ACCOUNTS AND INVENTORIES IN
ESTATES.
Cecil Brown Submits Numerous Pa
pers-Two Decisions by the Supreme
C1urt-Insurance Case.

This nav he torlned cecil Brown
day in the Circuit Court. The presi-
dent of the First National Bank this
morning submerged the clerks in work
for time, filing his reports on various
estates. The first and probably the
most important, was in the Roth Es-
tate, of the which Mr. Brown is trus-
tee. He reported that during the year
the receipts had been $15, ,10S.35 and ex-
penditures S2,431.9l.
In the matter of w. II. Cummings,
Mr.. Brown filed an inventory showing
the estate to be worth SS,55O Mr..
Cummings died in Japan a year ago.
He was road supervisor for many years
and contracted leprosy.
In the matter of the estate of Godfrey
Rhodes, Mr.. Brown reported in his
statement that $2,726 had been receiv-
ed and S1,0SS,01 expended.
Mr.. Brown stated that in the estate
of the late K. Kanoa $3,07S.S5 had been
realized and $744.60 paid out No mo-
ney had come into his hand, as under
an arrangement of deceased all went to
certain natives in the way of allow
anCeS.
In the matter of the estate of the late
George Manson, Lily j. Manson was is
sued letters of administration. The
property is valued at $4,000. The bond,
which is for 5000, is endorsed by f. L.
Waldron. There are two heirs, the
wife and one child.
In the Merricourt insurance case the
Supreme Court yesterday filed a ruling
denying a new trial. This means that
the Norwalll Insurance Company will
have to pay the face value of their
policies on property burned in Kalihi
together with interest for about two
years.
In the case of the Puma Sugar Com
pany VS.. the Republic of Hawaii, the
Supreme Court rendered a decision in
favor of the company. This was a
submission matter. There is a Hawai-
ian law against cutting trees within
$50 feet of a public road, where such
road runs through a forest. The Puma
Sugar Company claimed that this law
was unconstitutional as it deprived
them of their property without remun-
Grafton. The court sustains this view
w. r. Sims, administrator of the es-
tate of the late Katie Ellen Sims has
filed an inventory showing the property
to be worth 5000.

WILL HAVE PEOPLE TO CHANT
FOR HIM.
Trench Has Been Made Smaller So
Papa Cannot Avoid Stepping on
Warm Spots.

The chanters have been engaged to
chant; the stones have been heated to
burn; the crowd has bought tickets to
come; and Papa Ita is pleased. At
o clock this afternoon on Beretania and
Smith streets, the old Tahitian hot
stone walker will do a hot-foot over
the pile of lava rocks, in the presence
Of the astonished multitude. All ages
are eNT ct - to be present. School
children VIII be on hand i'm large num-
bers as this is really intended as a
special matinee for the little ones, a
special rate having been given.
The process of heating the rocks was
begun at 4 o'clock this morning. The
wood was packed in much closer than
for the recent exhibition and as the
material is not so dry, it will burn long
er and produce a more lasting heat.
The trench in which the stones are
placed has been narrowed by nearly
three feet and several feet have been
added to the length. There can now
be no chance for skeptics, declare the
managers, to claim that Papa tia
hugs the Waikiki side when the fire
is EWa-ward.
Papa visited the trench this morning
and was satisfied, and pleased. II was
hot and there would be no chance of
his failing to find plenty of warm
stones. AS an establishment upon the
old mans performance, his managers
| engaged several men to chant for the
! stone walker. This will prove an in
! teresting addition to the ceremony and
! will be more characteristic than would
! the band.
The canvas fence enclosure has been
moved twenty feet toward the trench
making the ground much smaller but
affordng better protection from the
wind. Seats will be provided for the
! women.

DANISH GOVERNMENT TAKES TT
IN HAND.
Secretary Of state Asks Governor for
Particulars of the Editors Case.
Other Letters.

The Secretary of State has taken up
the claim for Mr. NOrrle, editor of the
Independent, against the Republic of
Hawaii for imprisonment during the
revolution of 1898 This matter has
been brought urgently TO the attention
of the state Department by the Danish
minister at Washington. BY yester-
days mail there was a request from the
department to Governor Dole for cN-
pert Information as to Mr. Norrie's
connection with the revolution and
other data.
A letter from the Treasury Depart
ment TO Governor Dole asked for in
formation in regard to the bonded in
debtedness of the Territory, which was
assumed by the central government at
the time of annexation. Mr.. Gage
wishes to know just when the various
issues are due or may be taken up.
Secretary Hitchcock, of the Interior,
wrote in reply to several questions re-
garding lands. In general he referred
to his letter of December as an answer
to all.
At today's meeting of the Executive
Thomas Clark was granted a light wine
and beer license at Waihee, Maui.
Mr.. MCCandless presented a map be-
longing to the Bishop Estate, showing
the proposed street extensions around
Liliha and King and the extension of
kukui street. 1t is expected that Ku-
kui street will at once be extended
through to Liliha. 1t Will connect with
King near the junction of the two
| thoroughfares.
Mr. Taylor complained that. either
the electric or telephone conpanv. in
| extending lines around Thomas square
! has cut and otherwise mutilated trees.
As there seemed to be no law covering
the matter, no action was taken.
The balance of tho time was taken
| up in discussing a project Of produce
! fairs, with prizes ror the best vegeta-
| bles and fruits exhibited. In the minds
| OF some OF the officials such institu-
| tions would prove of considerable value
| III that they would be an incentive to
! extraordinary effort in growing the best
| of everything. Mr., Taylor exhibited
| before the meeting three Strawberries
! Of immense size grown by w. NJ. Gift
! fard on his place In Makki. At the
! project is one of some size, and is sur
rounded by more or less difficulty, time
was taken to consider it.

AN APPRECIATED GIFT.
Mrs. Morrison Sends Many Books to
The Sailors Home.

Mrs. Hugh Morrison of Makaweli,
Kauai. has sent, through John Guild,
several boxes of books and magazines
to the sailors Home.
Capt. Brays letter of acknowledgment
shows how thoroughly such gifts and
thoughtfulness are appreciated and at
the same time calls attention to an OPP
portunity for similar kindnesses by
many other ladies, who win doubtless
follow Mrs. MOrrisan's example. Cap
tain Bray's letter is as follows;
Mr.. j. Guild

REMARKABLE SUICIDE.

Albert Hermanson, an employe OF
Macfarlane & Company hanged himself
yesterday afternoon at his home on
Queen street, in a remarkable manner.
His head was so close to the ground in
the moose he made for himself that
most of his weight must have been on
the ground while he strangled but his
determination kept up to the end. The
dead man had been drinking very
heavily, was very despondent, and his
wife's illness added TO his sorrows. The
coroner's jury today decided that death
was due to strangulation, but did not
say that the case was one of suicide.

WHY 50 MANY DRINKS?
JANCARY'S ODD
RECORD.
CRIMINAL.
The Past Seven Days a Record Breaker
In Arrests for Being Drunk in
Honolulu.

Strange how the police calendar
seems to have been affected by the
temperance crusade" said a police
court attendant this morning, as he
looked over the docket for the day.
"Of course temperance speeches don't
cause boOzing, but it's fact neverthe-
less that there have been more drunks
arrested lately than for months past"
There We're fourteen charges of
drunkenness this morning, which is
very unusual number for the middle of
the week, and high average for Mon
day. few comparisons were made Of
the past seven days with other periods
Of week, selected at random and the
odd fact was brought out that the past
seven days lead all the others!
There have been SO arrests for drunk
enness in Honolulu since last Thursday
Which,With one exception, is over twice
the number of any other week on which
figures were gathered selections of
periods being made at random.
The following table shows the queer
record which the month Of January is
piling up i'm police annals and which
will make it a month of great distinc-
! tion If it is kept up to the end:

ENGINES CONE TOGETHER
A HEAD ON COLLISION NEAF
HALAWA.
Engineer Trulock, of Freight Train 8,
is Badly Hurt-Engines Damaged.
Some One Blundered.

Engineer Trulock, of freight train
Number 5, is lying at the hospital in a
rather bad condition on account of an
accident on the railroad yesterday. His
hip is dislocated, he is badly bruised
about the breast and shoulders and
there are fears that he may be injured
internally. Dr. Cooper is attending
him.
The engineer was hurt in collision
which might have proved serious to
several lives and considerable property.
1t occurred near Halawa. The freight
train left Honolulu on schedule for
Kahuku. When near Halawa she was
suddenly met by the work train, under
full speed. Before there was time for
either engineer to check his iron horse
the two engines came together, one of
them jumping the track. Both were
badly damaged and will have to under
go extensive repairs in the shops.
When a collision suddenly became
imminent the men on the work engine
jumped out and succeeded in landing
safely Engineer Santos, of the work
train, came near plunging in to the
gulch at that point but was not hurt
Trulock waited to carefully reverse
his lever and did not jump until the
crash came. He then was half thrown
off the engine, striking against the cat
and landing heavily upon the ground
The bumpers on many of the cars
were badly damaged, and some of then
will have to be renewed. A wrecking
train was sent out as promptly as pos
sible and in very short time cleared
the track. The first passenger trair
from Pearl City was delayed but a few
minutes and later trains came straight
through without interruption.
An investigation is being made tC
determine the cause of the accident
The freight train being on schedule
will probably augur against the Off
GERS of the work train.

WONDERFUL CANE FROM OAHU
PLANTATION.
-Four Sticks That Measure a Hundred
Feet Grown Without Use of Ferti-
lizer.

Four sticks of sugar cane that aver
age % feet in length We're brought to
Honolulu this morning from Waipahu.
They We're grown on oahu plantation.
The sticks are record breakers for
length and thickness and as there are
about two hundred acres with similar
growing cane, oahu promises to have
a record yield.
The four canes are i'm HacEfeld and
company's store, where many people
saw them this morning. They are the
result of IS months growth on soil that
was not fertilized at all. This makes a
remarkable showing for Oahu planta-
ton and one of which the owners and
agents are naturally proud
Those who have seen the field in
which the phenomenal cane is growing
say that it looks like Is tons to the
acre. This would be the record for
the islands. Oahu and Eva have both
gone up as high as IA tons to the acre,

ELABORATE BALL PLANS
Much Rivalry over Selection of the
Princess

Another meeting of the lady man
ayers of the Mask BAH was held this
morning at DR.. Sloggett's office i'm the
Progress block. Considerable specula-
ton and even rivalry Is felt over the
appointment of the princess. While the
selection of his partner rests with the
Prince of the Carnival, Prince j. Tarn
McGrew feels very modest and has
asked the ladies to aid him in the mat
ter. One of Honolulus' sweetest daugh-
ters who is described as tail, dark and
handsome, with black lustrous eyes
is mysteriOusly hinted at by the COM
mites, as the most probably successful
candidate.
An important decision was reached
| when it was agreed not to remove the
| masks until shortly before midnight.
| The exact time is at the discretion of
the master of ceremonies The floor
committee has not been selected as
/ yet.
Mrs. John S. Walker and Mrs. Tenney
| have decided to have a large tent
| erected at the entrance of the drill shed
| for the convenience of the gentlemen
who will be permitted to smoke there,
Bull rushes will be on the floor
The boxes will be constructed espe-
cially to order. Mrs. Wilder has taken
the first box and as the others are sub
| scribed for they will be constructed,
! the intention being not to have any
more boxes built than there are holders
The cost will be from $25 TO $50 each.
! There will also be a balcony built on
I one side of the hall, capable of seating
$50 spectators while a double row of
chairs viii be placed on the dancing
| floor for the convenience Of the mask
ers. Edwin Paris has taken personal
direction of the polishing of the floor,
while ]. a, Gilman has donated the
! tent.
