DEMURRER IS SUSTAINED
THE PRIMO MEN GET FIRST
BLOOD.
Contest in the Federal Court over the
Granting of $3.50 Licenses to Sell
Beer.

The Primo men this morning won the
first round in the license contest before
Judge Estee. The judge sustained a
demurrer to the complaint brought by
Macfarlane and Company against Trea-
surer Wright giving the plaintiff 10
days in which to amend.
Macfarlane's action was brought to
stop the $3.50 license business. 1t was
claimed that the Hawaiian statute un-
der which licenses to sell Primo beer
and no other were granted for $3.50
while for general liquor licenses $1,000
was required, was unconstitutional.
Judge Estee sustained the demurrer
of Wright on the following grounds:
"The petitioners have not shown in
their petition that they are injured by
the alleged acts against defendant, OF
that they have an interest involved il
the actions; or that they have suffered
any damage by the acts of the defen.
dant.
mo demand is shown by the petit
ton to have been made on defendant
to cease to issue the license referred to
plaintiffs fail to show that they have
not an adequate remedy at law
THE demurrer is therefore sustained
with leave to petitioners to amend and
file an amended petition within 10 days

In two criminal cases sworn COM
plants that are said to have been made
and filed were found missing this morn
ing, when the cases came up in the first
circuit court, and Assistant District At
torney Douthitt asked Judge Humph-
reys to take some action to protect the
records. The first was the case of Yee
Nam, charged with assault and battery.
1t was appealed from the district court,
and according to Deputy Sheriff Chill
lingWOTth, a sworn complaint was duly
filed as required by law. In a number
of cases recently the courts have dis
missed charges on account of failure to
file such a complaint.
Something should be DONE" said
Douthitt, ito safeguard the court re-
cords. / am informed positively by Mr..
Chillingworth that there was a sworn
complaint in this case, but ii is not on
file now and cannot be found. When
the papers We're brought to the circuit
court from the lower court a receipt
was taken for them all. but there is no
complaint to be found on file, and for
that reason l suppose we shall have TO
dismiss the action"
IF you can establish the fact that
there was a sworn complaint you can
try the case" said the court. There is
nothing to prevent you from trying a
case on a lost complaint, if its exist
ence is proved"

there had been a complaint i'm the case,

try, his father having arranged to send
him back TO China. 1.-THE court is glad

lima As THE EMBLEM
ouGur ro BE THE rEuRirouYs
CHOICE.
The yellow Blossom Favored as the
Territorial Emblem-lts significance
In Old Hawaii

EDITOR STAR. Allow me to suggest
In connection with the matter of a Ter
ritorlal floral emblem. that the lima is
the natural choice as the emblem of
Hawaii This beautiful blossom. which
furnishes the most lovely material for
leis and is one of the best and most
plentiful flowers throughout the islands
needs no choosing as an emblem by
native Hawaiians. II Is already their
national flower and has been for these
many years. In fact It was the natives
loved and revered flower long before
the haole came.
The lovely lei lima was always Of
great Importance to the Hawaiian Ka-
huna. 1t was an emblem of his autho-
rity. When its splendid yellow band
encircled his brow. he was recognized
in the sacred character of the god he
represented. What more natural than
it should now be chosen by all as the
official territorial floral emblem
The lima is distinctively Hawaiian
II is plentiful, it is beautiful, easily
grown and popular. In decoration its
glorious color is conspicuous. The
poetry Of its historic significance adds
to its charm. Certainly it will be more
readily adopted by the native Hawaiian
than any other flower, for every native
that is fortunate enough to have gar
den at all, plants the lima first.
The Stars suggestion that a terrific
rial flower be chosen is an excellent
one, and | hope it will be adopted, and
that the lima will be the choice. Nc
state or territory i'm the Union has a
better choice. and Ilima's advertisement
as Hawai's emblem will serve to dis
seminate and keep alive the memory of
some of Hawaiis most interesting old
rites and customs.

THE SOLDIERS PAROLE.
What Is Meant by the Compact and
the Manner of It's Arrange
ment.

Parole, it must be understood, is g
purely voluntary compact. The cap.
tor is not obliged to offer to parole
his prisoner, and the prisoner is moi
obliged and cannot be compelled tc
give his parole. If he does so, he viii
probably be released on pledging his
word not to serve during the exist.
ing war. If he refuses, he will re.
main captive until the war is over
or until he can make his escape.
The usual parole pledge extends
only to active service against the en-.
envy. A prisoner released on parole
is not breaking his contract if he
drills recruits, quells civil commo.
tions or fights other enemies. A sol
der taken prisoner has no authority
to pledge himself never to serve
against a particular enemy. He can.
not throw off thus lightly the duty
he owes his sovereign country, and il
he makes any pledge it must be con.
fined to a limited time. Moreover
if a prisoner should make a pledge
not approved by his own government
he is bound to return and surrender
himself to the enemy, says Parsons
Weekly.
In the British army a soldier can
only give his parole through a com.
missioned officer or an officer of an
inferior rank cannot give parole
either for himself or for his men
without permission from his com.
handing officer.
The United States authorities, by
the way give greater liberty of pa.
role than is the case with the British
army.
A captured prisoner who has vic.
lated his parole may be punished
with death.

80, / don't know about that, mother.
If 1 had not got angry-but it's all

broke down completely, crying hard.
Her mother wisely let her have her
cry out, and then said: 81 can't help
feeling glad it has all turned out as it
mas. You know have never approved
of your going out TO service. You sim

But it's too late to do anything now, -
she added, with a sigh. "The question
is: What am 1 to do? 1 expect it
means going into Bondman's until 1
can get a school"
Her mother tried to comfort her, but
Barbara was more depressed over the
situation than she had ever been in all
her life. She had met her dragon, and
had been completely routed. And she
had even at one time thought con-
temptuously of the dragon! But, as
she went to her room that night, she
felt with great humiliation that the
dragon had won and she would never
again have the courage to look him in
the face.
The next day she sent over for her
trunk; and, when the expressman
brought it, he handed her a note that
had been given him by Mrs. Ward.
Barbara opened it in some excite
ment, thinking it might be a request
to come back But it was a scrawl from
Carl, who had at different times been
encouraged by Barbara to print real
letters to his father and brothers.
Dear Barbara: am very sorry you

When she had read this note, which
Mrs. Ward had let Carl send, she sat
down on her trunk and cried again. 1t
seemed all so dismal a mistake, such a
waste of her life so far. She did not
look forward to the future with any
degree of hopefulness. 1t seemed as if
all her high ambitions were destroyed
and all of her ideals swept out of her
life.
The next two days she spent in help
ing her mother with some sewing and
in little duties about the house. In
every moment of leisure from these
duties her thought at once went back
to her ambition to serve, and the more
she dwelt upon it the more hopeless
she grew.

she had left Mrs. Ward, and shewas at
work washing the breakfast dishes,
when note was brought to her. The
