TWO FINAL DECISIONS
SUPREME COURT SETTLES TWO
APPEALS.
Lower Court is Sustained in Both
Cases-Deed BY an Idiot is Set
Aside.

The Supreme Court this morning CAV,
two decisions in cases appealed from
the First Circuit, sustaining the lower
court in both actions, both being suits
to cancel deeds
In the case of Kailikia, an idiot, by
her next friend Samuel Keka, VS. John
Huka and Kapali, appealed from the
first circuit court, the judgement cam
ceiling a deed made by Kailikea was
affirmed. The supreme justices decided
that the evidence adduced in the lower
court was sufficient to warrant the con-
clusion that Kailikea was not competent
to make a deed. The land, which is
worth from 5000 to $1,000, was decided to
Hapa for 800.
In the case of Kealoa and Kukela vs..
Namokueono Ewiliko a deed to Homo
lulu property was alleged to have beer
secured by undue influence, both parties
having lived on the premises for some
time prior to the making of the deed.
1t was held at the accusation of undue
influence had not been proved.
Both the decisions were concurred in
by all the justices.

HOSPITAL FOR INCURABLES
THE HOUSE VOTES 100000 FOR A
SITE.
Appropriation Bills as Agreed Upon to
be Ready for House and Senate on
Monday Morning.

The legislative conference committee
this morning only sent to the House
partial report, recommending thal an
item of $50 900 be inserted in the appro-
priation bill for purchase of site for
an incurable hospital. The report was
adopted after an Oldtime discussion,
taking up all the morning session.
The committees recommendation ad-
vised the appropriation of the money on
a number of conditions. 1t was provid-
ed that if public lands We're given for
hospital, the money should not be
drawn, and that the money should be
given only on condition that a building
to cost not less than $50, 900 be erected
within two years. The plans for the
building are to be approved by the
Board of Health and the Superinten-
dent of Public Works, and the hospital
is to be open to inspection at all times
by the public health officers.
Monsarrat said that he understood
that donations of $l5O,O00 would be made
for the hospital, that it would be self
supporting and would not charge any
fees. Prendergast objected on the
ground that people from other coun-
tries would come to Hawaii and make
use of the hospital.
Makekau made fight against the
hospital. He specially derided the idea
tnat II was necessary Tor cOnSumptlNeS,
Beckley offered an amendment to
provide that no one shall be admitted
to the hospital who has not resided in
the Islands at least a year. This was
carried, and then the report of the con-
ference committee was endorsed.
Neither of the appropriation bills
were reported. The conference COM
mittee had not quite finished with the
clerical work of putting them in pro-
per shape. They will be brought in on
Monday to both House and Senate. and
a sine die adjournment is looked for on
Tuesday at the latest.

IF WRIGHT DOES NOT PAY HIS
WARRANT.
Can Get Cash from Private Parties for
Completion Of the Work at the Out
fall Sewer.

superintendent of Public Works Boyd
VIII borrow the money for the compile
ton of the outfall sewer, If necessary,
as soon as the appropriation bill is
passed. Since the meeting of the Exc
cutive Council a short time ago, at
which he was given authority to bor-
row the money Boyd has investigated,
and he says there will be no difficulty
about getting the cash whether Trea-
surer Wright has it or not
Certain parties are willing to ad-
vance the money if l issue a warrant" a."
said Boyd, "as they think the Territory
is good for it. Without a sum set aside
to pay for the warrant l would not is
sue one, of course but as the bill now is
with an appropriation made for the
sewer, shall not have difficulty in get
ting the money at once, whether there
is cash in the treasury available or not
when the money is advanced / shall
give a warrant which will be register
ed, to be paid when it's turn comes. In
the meantime the warrant draws five
per cent interest"
The matter is one of great importance
as there is danger of serious loss at the
outfall sewer if Boyd is compelled to
stop work. The job is nearly finished
but if it is left for months, the pier
erected from which to do the work. win
rot away, as it was not made for a per-
manent structure, the piles being un-
protected from the water. This would
mean the construction of a long new
pier for the purpose of doing a little
work at the end.
In the appropriation bill as approved
by the conference committee. the sum
OF $1,000 is set apart for the outfall
sewer The work will therefore prob
ably be finished in the very near future

KNQM LAND IS CATHOLIC AU AND FAIR He WILL BORROW MONEY HR HAS BEEN FOUND
SUIT FOR VALUABLE PUNCH
BOWL PROPERTY.
Title Traced to King Kalakaua, In
heritance in 1S44-Heirs of Kiuimaka
Are the Defendants.

The Kapiolani Estate filed another
lengthy complaint this morning, in the
action involving old land titles to valu-
able property that has passed through
the hands OF recent Hawaiian monarchs
The issues involved go back as far as
1874, when King Kalakaua, as adopted
son of Kaniu, is alleged to have in
herited the property in question. <aniu
made "death-bed" will, according to
the old Hawaiian law, and the title of
Kalakaua and that of those now claim
ing the land under it, depend upon that
will.
The suit is against Mary A. Atcherly,
Alice X. Spencer and Rebecca and p.
Kinimaka, the two latter being minors.
The land in question is about 2.32 acres
on Punchbowl street, upon which a
valuable residence has been built, and
some Molokai land.
1t is alleged that after the death of
Kaniu, Kinimaka was made guardian
of young Kalakaua, who was then a
boy. Kinimaka held the land as guar
dian up to 1856. it is alleged, never
claiming it as his own until that year,
when he old so claim it. Kalakaua
brought suit for it and got possession,
and was for more than 40 years in
possession, with the acquiescence of
Kinimaka.
Plaintiffs alleged that large sums
have been spent on improvements on
the property, by Kalakaua's neirs, and
that they have clear titles that can be
traced back to him. The defendants,
however, claiming the land as heirs of
Kinimaka, are alleged to be taking pro.
ceedings to get it, and to be making
steps that may result in manv lawsuits,
taking advantage of a flaw in title that
was due to an error of many years ago.
An injunction is asked for, to res
train the defendants from any proceed
ings against the title of plaintiffs. Kin
ney, Ballou and McClanahan appear for
the Kapiolani Estate.
The case of the Kapiolani Estate
against A. S. Cleghorn, involving Alma
hou, will come up again Monday morn
inc when Judge Gear is to decide the
motion of McClanahan to instruct the
jury to bring a verdict for nlaintiffs.

Mr.. HAYWOOD IS BLAMED.
REASON CONSULAR AGENTS ARE
OUT MONEY.
Former Consul Failed to Send in The
Claims-Must Now Look to Haywood
to Straighten Matter Out.

Some time ago attention was called
to the fact that consular agents in the
Hawaiian Islands had been paid only
part of the money coming to them
for services to American vessels and
seamen during the period between an
nexation and the application of the Or
ganic Act. 1t was then supposed that
the agents were being naid out of the
annexation fund and that that fund
had run so low that only a part of the
amount due each man could be paid
f. c. Allen, formerly consular agent
at Kahului, has received a letter, how
ever that seems to throw a different
light on the matter. Mr.. Allen was
paid $402.24 for his services, and bal
ance of $373.44 was left due him. Writ
ing under date of July l. Thomas Nor
rison, Chief of Bureau of Accounts,
says:
This matter is one over which the
Department has no control, as you were
under the authority of Mr.. Haywood,
and responsible to him, and any amount
found due to you is based entirely upon
the settlement of his accounts. The
amount of $402.24, for which l enclose
herewith my check is the amount found
due to you by the Auditor, based upon
the settlement of the accounts of Mr..
Haywood in possession of that office"
In another paragraph, evidently writ
ted after the foregoing, the chief clerk
says:
"Mr. Haywood has stated, however,
that he has on file in Honolulu certain
accounts which he has promised to
transmit to the Auditor. which, if re-
ceived, a subsequent settlement may
show a balance in your favor, but of
this no promise can be made; for, as
stated before it is a matter over which
this Department has no control; every
thing depending upon the accounts of
Mr. Haywood, as settled bv the Audi
tor"
1t occurs to Mr.. Allen that there is
now a chance for him and the other
consular agents to recover their claims,
it being believed that the unpaid
amounts are contained in the claims
still here to which Mr.. Morrison re-
fers.

MISSING MAN ARRESTED NEAR
KAHUKU.
Charged With Negotiating Bogus
Checks-Being Brought to Honolulu
This Afternoon-Histor

Albert Peyser, for a long time con-
nected with the clothing department
at McInerny's, and who disappeared
some days ago, was arrested at Hauula
this morning by a policeman from Ka-
huku and is being brought over the Pail
to the city jail. The young man is
charged with gross cheat. When no
tice of the disappearance was received
at the station house and two alleged
forged checks endorsed by Peyser were
turned over to the High Sheriff, no
tice was sent to the police of the ISL
and to look out for the man. Promptly
upon receipt of news of the arrest
High Sheriff Brown instructed that the
man be brought at once to Honolulu.
Some mystery surrounds the case.
The two checks which were floating
around were for small amounts and
drawn on Bishop * Company. They
are signed by Sing High & Company.
which is a bogus name, there being nC
firm of that kind, and Kong Sang Yueu
co. Sing High, laundrymau. denies
any knowledge of the checks. At
Bishop & Company's there is no ac-
count in the name of Sing Sigh e. Com
pany. Peyser negotiated the checks
and it is stated they passed through
several other hands before reaching the
banks.
The check signed Kong Sang Yuen
Company is for $50. The firm whose
name is used repudate the check and
pronounce it a forgery. 1t was given
by Peyser himself to the clerk at the
Moana hotel and is endorsed by the
Moana Hotel company and by Peacock
* Company.
The other check is signed Sing High
& Company and is for $21.75. 1t was
given to Harry Klemme and is endorsed
by him and j. w. Podmore. 1t was al
so endorsed by the Bank of Hawaii but
that endorsement was erased.
The charge against Peyser is gross
cheat, not forgery.
Peyser has been in the Islands off and
on, for the past fifteen years. He
came here from San Francisco where
his mother resides. At McInerny's they
say he is first class clothing salesman.
He left McInerny's a year ago and has
since been selling clothing, etc, on
commission.

sTACKABLE REVERSED.

A decision has been received from
Washington sustaining the appeal of
the Sing Wo Company of Honolulu from
the decision of Collector Stackabe, in
the matter of assessment of duties on
straw mats. Stacl1able assessed the
shipment, which came on the America
Maru, as straw mating, but the Trea-
sury Department holds that there is a
difference between mats and mating
and that the shipment should have been
taxed as claimed by the conslgnees. 1t
is decided that the mats fall within
the provisions of paragraph 449 as
manufactures of straw not specially
provided for as claimed in the protest.
The protest is sustained and the deci-
sion of the collector reversed"
