.ESTEE' 5 TURN TOMORROW
CONSTITUTION. FLAG AND NEW
LANDS RESOLUTION.
The United States Judge Has a Decision
Ready for the Lawyers in the Habeas
Corpus Case.

Judge Estee will render a decision
tomorrow, probably the last one to be
handed down in Hawaii, on the ques-
tion of the constitution, the flag and
the NeWlands resolution. 1t Will be a
long decision. That much is known,
but what the effect of the decision will
be Estee and his stenographer only
know, and they are not telling. He
notified the attorneys today that the
decision would come tomorrow.
Most of the Judges in Honolulu have
had a whack at the constitution and
the flag, and it is Estee's turn now. The
circuit courts have ruled and the Su-
preme court has ruled, several times
and in various ways, and Estee had one
previous chance, but it wasn't a real
good one, for it was in the Marshall
cas- in which the whole question was
not involved. In the case to be de-
cided tomorrow, that of the habeas
corpus application of Chida ManZabaro
Estee is supposed to decide, If he takes
Jurisdiction. whether the amendments
to the constitution dealing with trials
and convictions of crime, were extended
to Hawaii by the Newlands resolution.
The attorneys for the prisoner find
hope in the fact that Estee has been
hard at work on a long written decl-
sion. The two issues of jurisdiction
and the decision If jurisdiction is taken
are CuIlOuSly DOullu up. II - dNlllllNIh
that Estee has no jurisdiction unless the
trial was absolutely void not merely
voidable or Illegal 1t is also admitted
| that he cannot take jurisdiction if the
| decisions under which the prisoner is
held are merely wrong. The only claim
that he has jurisdiction is on the
ground that the trial was absolutely
void and that therefore the prisoner
must be released, never having beer
tried. This puts the cart before tine
horse. Estee has first to decide tha
the trial was void. which is all the de
fendant's attorneys want, and then tina
he takes jurisdiction, end, taking juris
diction, he then decides that the tria
was void. It's a roundabut way of get
ting at the result. but bets are offer
ed that Estee will do it and that th'
Hawaiian Supreme Courts revived
transition period will be knocked u
bits by the United States Judge.
The coming decision arouses the
greatest interest and is of supreme i'm
portance to the attorney generals de
partment, as upon it depend a numbe
of other cases of prisoners in OahI
tail. If the decision is against the pro
lsecution an appeal will be quickly
taken to Washington, and if 1t is tn
other way, an appeal may also o
taken.

BEER VERSUS TEMPERANCE
WHILE MURPHYITEs wRANGLE
BEER GOES DOWN.
Majority of Saloon Owners Keep Up
Old Figures-Austin Seeks a Vote of
Confidence.

While the Murphy temperance clubs
are wrangling over their difficulties,
including the vote of confidence to
Franklin Hale Austin, the price of beer
is gong down as an incentive - the
workinSman to trade at the cheap
priced saloons and save his nickeis.
Ihe assertion that there is a beer
war in town is somewhat unwarranted
although the California saloon, henry
VlOa, proprietor ana Seeley Shaw S
saloon on the EVA mauka corner of
King and Nuuanu, have announced
Ihelr lntentiOn OF selling foamlng
schooners in the future for ten cents
straight.
Mr. shaw stated this morning that
he was merely endeavoring to keep
pace with the various places supplied
by the Honolulu Brewing Company
that were selling beer at ten cents.
There is no beer war;" said Mr..
Shaw, 'it is mercy a business PROPOSE
ton. If you could buy coffee at
twenty cents a pound at one store
where others were selling it for twen-
ty-five you would deal at the cheaper
place If you liked the coffee as well.
1t is merely a business and protective
proposition on my part. In '92 l was
the first to introduce the check system
and cut beer to twelve and half cents
The measure was never popular but
kept on with it and now the working
man can treat his friend and save his
care fare out of his quarter of dollar
If the others do it viii sell beer three
/ for a quarter"
| Henry Vida at the California has
also adopted the ten cent price claim
! ing to have made the cut under pro-
| test, but he intends to keep the price al
| ten cents. honolulu Brewing Com
panys beer is sold over his bar.
! The other saloons of the city are moi
participating in the cut, as far as those
with a general license are concerned
The proprietors generally, claim thai
they are paying too heavy a license
and too large salaries to their employees
to participate in the ten cent rate
Several of these are selling Honolulu
beer
There was a meeting of the trustees
of the Murphy Association this morn
ing at which Franklin Austin endeaV-
ored to get a vote of confidence from
those who had subscribed to the cause
Austin and treasurer Bancroft were
both in attendance. Francis Murphy
however was not present at the meet
ing. which was held behind CLOSED
doors and adjourned at noon until
O'Clock this afternoon.
Mr.. Austin will address the signer
of Honolulu on Friday evening at Muir
ply hall, upon which occasion he pro
poses to furnish a complete VindicatiOi
of the things that have been sale
concerning him through the medium
of the public press.

.uHLE MAKES A FIND.
l. FAMILY COMPACT IN THE
COURT.
The Judge Orders it Out at Once.
Disagreeing Jurors are Together
Again in Another Case.

Judge Little found family compact
in his court this morning and he
promptly threw 1t out. He said he
didn't want any such compacts inter-
tering with justice. 1t was when Attor-
neys McCants Stewart and Davis were
trying to get jury to try the ejectment
suit of Gustave f. Ropert, trustee for
John X. Sumner, against s. Kauai, X.
Kauai and Ho Hee, involving some land
at Moiliili.
E. S. Holt was one of the jurors un-
der examination. He didn't know
whether he was related to one of the
plaintiffs or not. McCants Stewart
who was questioning, didn't know
either. Judge Little is very ready TO
order jurors to step aside if there is
any question about them. Stewart in
formed his honor that he understood
that brother of the plaintiff had mar
ried cousin of Mr.. Holt, and suggest
ed that perhaps it did not matter.
That's a family compact. Let the
juror step aside" said Judge Little, and
another man was secured, Holt escap-
ing, only to be caught on another jury
in Judge Gears COURT
The case was finally started with the
following jurors II. Krouse, w. NJ
Buchanan, j. S. Walker, j. A. Legros
| G. Nawaakao, o. Cox. NJ. p. Robinson
| w. Rowell, j. Kunewa, e. K. Ha-

In addition to Holt, w. A Baldwin, A
| w. Pearson, H. Bertleman, A. Fernan-
dez, Frank Harvey. 1. l.. Cockett and
G. X. Kekauoha were excused for va.
rious reasons, but nearly all of them
were accepted in Gears court.
After the evidence of surveyor Wal
had been taken, the court and jury
on motion of Stewart, took a trip to the
premises at Mailiili over which the suit
was brought, to return and take up the
| case again this afternoon.
| Half of the twelve jurors who dis
| agreed yesterday are together again to.

BOILING OIL SPRINKL|XG
RICHARD STREET GETS A DOSE
TODAY.
A Coal Oil Smell Infects the Block.
Experiment to Permanently Lay the
Dust.

Boiling oil was sprinkled on Richard
street this morning, from Hotel to
King, and then a coat of quarry sand
was spread over the oil. Now the
street Is ready for use and 1t will be
carefully watched for results. 1t iH
hoped that the oil VIII MAKE a solid
surface, on which there will be no dust.
The oil was distributed from an or
dinary street sprinkler. Ii was first
heated to 1l20 and heated coil was
placed in the sprinkler to keep it hot.
so that it would readily run from the
pipes. When cool cruue petroleum is
quite thick and it would not run from
the sprinkler. The hot Oil this morn
inP ran like water, covering the street
with coating of back.
Only very light sprinkle was given,
care being exercised to avoid making
oily mud that would cause trouble to
pedestrians, vehicles and bicycles. 1t
is expected that the oil and the sand
will combine and form a sort of paste
or coating that will give out no dust
The work was done under the direc-
ton OF Assistant Superintendent of
Public Works Campbell. Superintend-
ent Boyd and Fire Chief Thurston were
present to watch. The sprinkling took
some time, and wagons and buggies
passed over the road while it was being
done. The oil I've out a smell like coal
oil, which fairly infected the block, and
residents of Richard street between
Hotel and King have had a day of it.
The odor will soon leave, however.
THE proper machine to use for such
work is not an ordinary street sprink-
Her." said Campbell, but sprinkler
made for the purpose. In places wbere
oil is used the sprinkler has something
on the plan of "A corn seed planter, to
stir up the soil before the oil falls. This
is for ordinary soil roads and would not
do on a macadamized road like this.
AS far as l know this is the first time
oil has been tried on a macadamized
road, ard the result of the experiment
is a matter of doubt. We shall have to.
set men to work with heavy brooms.
to rub in the sand and OIL"
The street remains oUen to the public
as before. The amount of oil was not
enough to make the shoes of pedes-
trains or the tires of vehicles dirty as
they pass over. In a week or so it Will
be possible to tell something OF how the
experiment works. If it is success
oil sprinkling may be undertaken on a
large scale. 1t is claimed for Oil that 1t
not only effectually lays the dust but
that sprinklings are not needed more
than once in several months.

ANGL|CANSARt DISTURBED CHICKENS IN ALCOHOL
JARED SMITHS MAIL TO WASH.
INGTON.
Federal Expert to Examine the Eye
Disease and Try to Solve the Mystery.
The First Bulletin.

Jared Smith sent some chickens to
Washington today. They were dead
ones, with swelled heads preserved IN
alcohol and packed up in box, for the
Department of Agriculture to examine.
Smith expects a report in about a
month, from the experts of the animal
culture bureau, as to the nature of the
sweled head disease.
Smith dissected a chicken himself a
short time ago. He thinks the disease
as the same as a complaint reported in
| the Southern States and other warm
localities, but was not able to definitely
ascertain it's cause. He decided to send
some samples to Washington, and by
the Mariposa, two chickens, which he
says are in excellent spirits though
dead, will leave for Washington, where
| they will be carefully examined, each
of them has a very big head, with the
eyes closed by the troublesome disease.
| 1T seems to be sort of fungus" said
| Smith, land l think it is a filth disease.
l have a work on poultry that describes
very similar complaint. l don't think
mosquitoes have anything to do with
II It,"
| Assistant Sedwick is preparing a bull
| letin of the new bureau, and will deal
! eXhaustively with the problem of look
| ing after poultry in the Islands. A
careful study of the question is being
| made and the results, together with the
| expected report from Washington as to
| the eye disease, will be in the bulletin.
| The eye disease has long been a pro-
| blem in Hawaii, and it's prevalence and
/ the lack of a preventive or cure, have
| been the reason why poultry raising has
| been generally a failure throughout the
| Islands, with the result that chickens
! and eggs have to be imported and are
very high in price If Smiths bureau
| succeeds in finding a means of coping
| with the trouble, many residents of
Hawaii will send him aloha, and there
| will be big profits in poultry.
