CABLES FROM MARCDN|
EVIDENCE IN THE SUIT AGAINST
CROSS.
The Inventor Refuses to Recognize the
InterIsland Telegraph Company.
Expert Gray's Complaints.

The case of the Marconi company of
London against f. j. Cross is bringing
out the details of a long series of dis
agreements between the parties con-
cerned Already thirteen cables and
letters from London have been filed as
plaintiffs exhibits. They show the in
structions that have been wired across
the Atlantic TO San Francisco and sent
here, since the arrival of Expert An
drew Gray, ending with orders to en-
ploy an attorney and collect from
Cross for rent of the system and q
balance on the franchise.
The company has refused to recog-
nize the Inter-Island Telegraph COM
pany in the matter, holding that it is
dealing with F. j. Cross individually.
On March Ia, when Gray's work was
over the following cable was sent in
reply to one asking for instruction.:
Our contract is not with Inter
Island company but with Cross. If
Cross after due notice of completion
unable to meet his engagements then
stay on Consult lawyer as to our
working commercially and cable fully"
The Marconi company wanted to
take up and operate the system itself
and gave Gray full authority to take
charge. On the Sth of last month, after
further correspondence, a cable came
here telling Gray to Instruct lawyer
collect money by means not directly
involving break up of system. Come
home with Hobbs" This cable result
ed in the present suit.
Most of the other exhibits are letters
from Gray to Cross, complaining of the
way the work was being done here. In
one of them he objected to using the
wireless system over land. He said
that he wanted to use the wireless
system across the water and wires
over land, and in no case to have a
telephone employed by the system, as
it would make the work unsatisfac-
tory.
Gray came here at the beginnin~ of
the year. as a result of reports that
the system would not work. His in
structons from London show that
Marcon was at a loss to understand
the Hawaiian failure. The inventor
wrote that the system was being used
over a stretch of only 35 miles and
would not work, and he did not under
stand it. He called Gray from another
job and started him for Honolulu. The
system is now in good working order.
The evidence of the two experts
Gray and Hobbs. has not yet been fin
ished. 1t will be continued this after
noon before A. G.. Kaulukou, if Judge
Silliman is through with a supreme
court argument. Both the experts leave
for the coast on the Aorangi.
The defense claims that the suit
should be against the InterIsland
Telegraph company, and not Cross, but
Marconis contracts was made with
Cross individually.

In resentencing hiul Judge Little got

plicable to the prisoner and nos to the
high sheriff. The Hilo Tribune 0ub-
lisnes the following concerning the mat
ter:
There was quite gathering of attor-
neys, witnesses reporters, police and
curious spectators in Judge Littles
Court Thursday morning. A number
of malefactors were up for arraign-
ment, pleading and sentence. CnIef
among the prisoners at the bar was
Fujihara. the Jap found guilty of MUIR
der, and up to be resentenced by Judge
Little.
Attorney Biting represented the
prisoner and smoke for some time, quot
ing authorities, etc, which was sud
denly interrupted by his honor order
ing the prisoner to stand up for SEN
tence.
A deep and painful silence spread
over the courtroom as the judge calm
ly, and with a voice full of emotion,
slowly proceeded to pass the death sem
tence upon the prisoner, whose face
was the very persOnification of in
difference.
"Fujihara, stand up" said the Judge.
1T is ordered that you be taken to
the Hilo JAIL in the District of South
Hilo. Island of Hawaii, Territory of
Hawaii, and within the jurisdiction of
this Court and that you then and there
be hanged by the neck until you are
dead, and may God have mercy on

After the sentence was passed Attor-
ney Biting asked for a respite, which
Tndpa would not grant
The Court refused to countenance
any motion whatever, and quite a little
tilt was on between His Honor and
the attorney.
The date for the execution was not
set, as that is the reason that the Sup
RENE Court ordered the prisoner to be
resentenced Judge Little, in passing
sentence before, fixed the date of exc
cution, but that lies with the Governor

at bedtime and be all right the next
morning. Isn't this the better way?
Then continue the Cherry Pectoral a
few days until your throat and lungs
have completely healed and all danger
of future trouble is past.
Another grand thing about Ayers
Cherry Pectoral is that it cures hard
coughs, the hardest kind of old coughs,
even after all other remedies have failed.
Put up in large and small bottles.
When it hurts your lungs to cough,
then apply one of Ayers Cherry Pee
toral Plasters directly over the painful
lung. 1t will quiet the pain, remove all
congestion, and greatly strengthen.

Han dsomc Residence
Destroyed BY Fire.
Owned and Occupied by Leroy
Percy One Of the Finest
in the City. M

Last Friday morning flames
were discovered by two school
boys issuing from the roof Of the
handsome residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. Leroy Percy, on the corner
of Broadway and Valiant street.
The alarm was promptly turned
in, but owing to the heavy rain
the streets were so rotten the fire
department was delayed in reach
ing the scene. Consequently the
flames made good hsadway, and
all efforts TO save the house proved
futile. Much of the furniture was
saved, but was badly broken. The
fire started from a defective iue.
The loss on building and furniture,
$40, 900; insurance about 81, 900.

The colored people, through

The negroes should report every
case of the disease among them

is the only way to stamp out the
disease.

the services of every doctor in the

vaccinate every person living in
