COURT AWARDS
HAWAII LAND
Property in the Pearl

demned.
United States Is Successful
in First of the Law
suits.

HONOLULU, Dec. Is (via Victoria, B.
c., Dec. 25.)-The first of the suits brought
by the United States to condemn lands
needed for the naval station at Pearl
Harbor was decided last week by jury
in the United States District Court,
which awarded the land to the Govern
ment at price far below the demands of
The case was that of the United States
against the estate of Bernlce Pauah1
Bishop, involving over 600 acres OF land
at the site of the proposed station. The
Bishop estate, in it's answer to the suit or
condemnation, demanded about $500 per
acre for the land, while the Governments
a verdict awarding the defendants about
SIS per acre. The verdict is taken to indi-
cate that the Government will get land
wanted for a naval station for small
sum.
A special election held in the Hilo dis
trict last week to choose successor to
the late j. E. Waliko, member or the
House of Representatives, resulted in the
election of James Lewis, who was the de-
feated Republican candidate at the for
mer election. The campaign was a quiet
one.
President Roosevelt's message is COM
mented here as averse to the sugar in
terests of Hawaii. The declaration
here was a disappointment to the plan
ters.' The prospect of reciprocity with
Cuba and the possibility Of tree admission
pines, as well as Porto Rico, are also dis
appointing to Hawaii. In spite of these
differences, however, the sugar stocks
remain firm.
Attorney General Dole will leave for
Washington in the near future to present
to the United States Supreme Court the
appeal of the Territory in a case involv-
ing the question of the legality of trials
without Grand Jury indictments under
the Hawaiian law allowing jury verdicts
by nine jurors after an examination
Two other suits brought by the Gov
ernment have been compromised, the
United States getting the lands without
cost. The John Ii estate agreed to and
has decided to the Government a strip of
land amounting to twenty-three acres on
Ford Island, and the suit against the Ii
estate for the whole of the island has
been withdrawn. as it is held to be un-
necessary to take it all. The Oahu Sugar
Company also surrendered its leasehold
interest in the same land. The suit
against the Oahu Railway and Land
Company for. the lands covered by its
right of way has been settled The COM
pany deeds the land to the Government
shall not be disturbed until a new right
of way is provided.
The most important condemnation suit
now pending is against the Honolulu
Plantation Company to secure the COM
pany'S leaSehold interest in the lands of
the Bishop estate already condemned.
suit against the Dowsett estate for ass
acres of this same land is also pending.

escaped with slight injuries.
The parents then jumped and were both
badly hurt by striking on their heads on
the stone sidewalk. In the excitement the
four-year-oId daughter, Mary, was for
gotten. When the parents realized that
she had not escaped a frantic effort was
made by the firemen to save her. The

RIOTERS KEEP
OFFICERS BUSY
Serious Clash Between
Negroes and Whites
of Harlem.

NEW YORK, Dec. 25.-A race skirmlsh
between whites and blacks in Harlem to-
day developed serious proportions and
kept the police busy for time. The ne
groes, 100 strong, were armed with revolv-
ers and clubs, while equally as many
whites used stones and other weapons.
The negroes had the advantage, but were
driven back into their tenements by the
police after they had charged on the
whites with pistols and razors. Fifteen
negroes were arrested. Four whites in
cluding a policeman, were badly shot or
cut.
The rioting began when some white
boys stoned two colored girls, whereupon
a dozen negroes seized the white boys and
beat them The boys, when released, told
their story to white men in the vicinity
and an organized attack was made on the
negroes, who were driven back to their
tenementS under a shower of stones. The
confusion increased when the white men
began to lombard the tenements with
stones and other missiles and the negroes
fired from their windows into the crowd.
The whites, surprised by the shooting and
seeing men fall wounded, turned and ran
followed by the negroes, who used knives
and clubs freely.
At this point a squad Of policemen ar
rived on the scene and with drawn clubs
stopped the rioting, chasing the negroes
into their houses.
