TH MNACI SCIENCE PLUMBERS ARE KICKING RETURNING DPORORGO
A DECISION THAT CURBs THE
UNIONS.
Organizations Of Labor May Not Coerce
Workmen TO Join Them by Causing
BoycOtts.

A hot protest is heard among mem-
bers OF the Plumbers Union against
the verdict against the defendants,
Inembers Of the Union and of the Mas
ters' Association in the suit brought
against them by G.. III. Brown. They
declare their intention TO fight Il TO
the end and the first move Is "a motion
for a new trial, on the ground that the
jurors arrived at their verdict, not by
dehberation, but by taking an average
of proposed verdicts and making the
average the verdict of all This, IL is
claimed If proven, is enough to inyali-
date the verdict.
The result of the case sets a rule
that must be followed, If it holds by
all labor unions and associations Of
employers and IL is a new one to Ho-
nolulu, the plumbers case being the
first one in which the issue was in
volyed.
Under that kind of law" said one
Of the defendants in the Brown case,
"a labor union is practically pOwerless.
We are not allowed to take any steps
TO protect ourselves from the competi-
lion of scabs and can do no more than
simply organize and sit still and wait
for men to join.
How did the jury arrive at the sum
of S2S3.75? Such a sum was not asked
for at any time. The jurors simply
split differences and came into court
with an average verdict
The kicks of the plumbers touch
point that is said to be exactly what
the law contemplates. The plumbers
case decision is the first one in which
are extended to Hawaii the rules es-
tablished by United States laws on the
mainland, preventing boycotts or coer-
cion OF laborers to force them into a
| union. Workers may form unions ana
work to get all their fellow-workers
into such organizations but, under the
decision given. as soon as they attempt
to form agreements to prevent men
who do not join from getting work.
they are violating the federal statutes.

SMALL BOY rs TO BE SENT TO
HIS MOTHER.
Ran Away From Home-Governor Of
Porto Rico Requested Planters Asso-
citation 20 Return the Youngster.

A diminutlye li-year-old Porto Rican
boy named Adolpho Mangual. has been
the subject of official correspondence
between the Governor Of Porto Rico
and the Planters Association. The
Governor OF Porto Rico wanted to se-
cure trace Of ths boy and have him
sent back TO that island, as the young
ster ran away from home. As the
result OF the letter from the Porto Ri
can executive, the little boy is to be
sent back home
when Mangual saw scores Of AIS
playmates and their parents leaving
Porto Rico for Hawaii, he became
possessed with a desire to accompany
them. In case a child under Is years
of age, wants TO leave Porto Rico with
these emigrants, il has to secure per-
mission from its mother to accompany
some other family. Mangual could not
pursuade his mother to permit him TO
come SO he took the bull by the horns
and ran away with the crowd. He got
on board the steamer at Ponce by re-
presenting that ne belonged to Porto
Rican family who were coming. In
company with them, he arrived here
safely and was sent to Kekaha planta-
tiOn, Kauai.
In the meanwhile, his mother learn
ed that the child had run away, so she
communicated with Governor Allen of
Porto Rico and asked that he recover
her son. Governor Allen, through ms
secretary. communicated with the
Planters Association and asked that
the boy be returned, stating the cir
cumstances OF the case. Inquiry was
made for the youngster and he was
discovered at Kekaha. He was asked
IL he desired to return home and, reply
ing in the affirmative, was brought
doyvr IN Honolulu by the steamer Mi
kabala Yesterday. He is now being
detained at the police station until the
arrival of the China when he VIII be

A QUEER SPECIMEN.
A Fish That Walks on Curious
Fins.

Market Inspector Berndt has another
variety of fish in pickle in his room at
the market. The latest acquisition,
which is at present embalmed in alco-
hol inside a glass jar, is not unknown to
the collectors with the exception of it's
the color which is a coal black. The
specimen is a small one three or four
inches long, and possesses one of the
shapeless lumpy bodies so often found
in tropic seas.
The depth of the lower jaw is enor-
nous compared with the fish and be-
tween the eyes, which are small and
beady, extends a hair like filament
with a tiny heshy white substance at
tached to the end that looks as if the
fish went angling on his own account
and used it as a decoy. The Ventral
and pectoral fins are more like many
digited hands and feet than the ordin-
airy appurtenances, each ray being tip
ped with horn in the semblance of a
claw or nail.
Inspector BeTndt says that it is a
deep sea fish and that the hand like
fins are used by it in the same capa-
city as those of warmer blooded ami
mails, in clambering in and out of the
rocks and coral in from eighteen tc
twenty-five fathoms of water. Tht
skin is scaleless like wrinkled BLACK
leather.

.THE PACKARD IN P|UKIA
SWINGS INTO THE PACIFIC NAIL
WHARF.
Does Considerable Damage-Has Ne
groes in Her Crew Who Sing Old
Darkey Chants as They Work.

The bark Benjamin +. Packard, laden
with coal for the naval wharf arrived
this morning after having been post
ed as overdue, and, not content with
the berth allotted her by the harbor
master, attempted to demolish the
Pacific Mail Wharf
Waterfront critics state that the
Packard's helm was put too far over for
her to swing safely to her cable, but
whatever the cause, she effectually
dragged her anchor and bore down,
bows on, towards the Pacific Mail
wharf. She struck the timbers of the
wharf with her cutwater while her Jlb-
boom tilted at the roof of the Waikiki
shed and made ribbons of the iron roof
ing and smashed the supporting TIM
bers. The wharf is pretty badly dam
aged where the stem cut into the plank
ing the string piece is smashed and a
cap log is completely demolished. The
piles held, however, and the damage Is
not very extensive.
The Packard came off from the en-
counter scott free without disturbing
martingale or stays. She is partly
manned by a crew of darkies who, while
they were hauling on the lines to get
the ship out of her pilikia, struck up an
old fashioned chanty as they paced
around the windlass. One old darky in
high felt hat did little of the work but
supplied the inspiration for the slaves
The singing carriew many Of the water
front folk back to the days when steam
windlasses were unknown and the har-
mony of the darkey's voices sounded
melodiously across the harbor.

HABEAs CORPUS MUDDLE IN
COURTS.
New Applications for Wade and Esther
Reveal a Strange Conflict Among the
Courts.

The queerest habeas corpus miX-up
yet developed came up In the case
of the alleged murderer George Wade,
when Attorney &. 9. Biting applied
for writ OF habeas corpus from jus
tice Perry OF the Supreme Court Wade
had been turned loose on the old con-
ViCtion by nine Jurors and had been in
dicted again. The Supreme Court, how
ever. had held that the Old conviction
was valid.
In the original instance Wade was
charged with murder in the first de
gree. He was found guilty Of murder
in the second degree This operates as
an acquittal Of murder in the first de-
gree, and, as the Supreme Court, by
Perry and Frear, had held that the
old conviction was good IL was thought
that Perry would hold that the old ac-
quittal was good too.
on the new Indictment for murder
in the first degree Biting asked Perry
for a writ, pleading the acquittal, but
Perry didn't feel disposed to turn the
man loose and there was a way out.
He informed Biting that his remedy
was in the lower court, that he had
better plead the prior acquittal there
| and refused TO issue a writ. The only
/ trouble is that the Circuit Court does
not agree with the Supreme Court, but
holds that there was no former convic-
| ton or acquittal at all, and therefore
the Bitting's plea is useless except be-
/ fore Perry.
! At the same time and under almost
/ exactly similar circumstances, a plea
/ In bar was filed in behalf of William
| Esther. also accused Of murder
Esther's plea is not a former acquittal
/ but a former conviction. Neither plea
! is any good in the Circuit Court, or
before Estee as a ground for habeas
corpus. for the Circuit Courts and Es-
/ tee hold that the old proceedings are
not valid. But on appeal both points
are good, unless the Supreme Court re-
verses itself, for that court cannot sus-
/ tain a second conviction after holding
/ the first conviction valid.
AS the case stands now the Circuit
Court is proceeding to try the two de-
| PENDANTS and several others, while
there are legal objections pending
which admittedly are enough to knock
out the trials in the Supreme Court.
Another writ of habeas corpus was
brought forward by f. NJ. Brooks, in
/ behalf of All Quong. accused of bur

SCARED BY TROLLEY CAR.
Two Insurance Men Nearly Collect On
Accident Policy.

Two insurance agents appreciated the
blessings of an accident policy TINS
morning by a narrow shave that both
of them had from being seriously in
jured in a runaway.
C. l.. Marques and F. Pickett ooth
connected with the Pacific Mutual In
surance Company. were driving along
Hotel street about eleven o'clock TINS
morning toward Fort when the passing
of an electric car scared the horse.
The reins were slack and the animal
got way before he could be controlled,
running into another buggy that was
standing close to the curb and between
the car and the sidewalk. The COLI
sion took a wheel off the buggy which
tilted and deposited Marques and his
companion in the road. Pickett was
dragged some distance but got on with
a badly scratched palm and knee while
Marques did not even break the glasses
he was wearing. The horse continued
down Hotel and left the remains of the
buggy outside the Y. NJ. c. A. in
headlong flight towards Waikiki.
The horse backed the vehicle into the
carriage of Mrs. S. G.. Wilder. Mrs.
Wilder jumped out Of the carriage and
saved herself from serious injury. The
other carriage was nearly backed into
Thrum's plate glass window, but was
checked before the glass was broken.

no ONE on EARTH KNOWS THE
LAW.
stewart Meets an opinion Of the
Court-Enort TO Draw Secrets OF the
Grand Jury

The motion OF William Davis, charg-
/ ed with assault with deadly weapon,
TO be allowed to see the minutes of the
/ Grand Jury which indicted him, was
partially heard before Judge Gear this
morning. II. McCants Stewart appear
ed for the defendant. Judge Gear in
| timated at the start that he was dis
posed to regard the motion as unusual,
ana To rule that the Grand Jury Sc
| Crets were not be revealed.
| Stewart said that If the courts S mind
was made up IL was no use for him to
argue, and Judge Gear remarked that
/ he would need a good deal of con-
vincing that Stewards client had a
/ right to the Grand Jury minutes.
THE defense is in a very unfOrtun-
ate position, very embarrassing to
counsel, when the court meets the mo-
tion with a prejudgment, said Stewart.
There are some things on which a
court ought to have some ideas" said
Judge Gear. "If counsel ask a court
/ to come here with a head blank of all
/ law, they ask a very peculiar thing.
! have read the motion and while there
may be authorities the other way, !
never heard of such motion before.
| The court is open to conviction
Stewart remarked that If counsel
were always to be met by superior
| knowledge of the court they were in
| very embarrassing position, adding
| that his honor had characterized the
motion as unusual without hearing any
argument The attorney then launched
| into an eloquent dissertation on the in
accuracy of the science of law There
| is only one exact science said he,
Land that is mathematics and of all
the other sciences the science Of law
lis the most inexact. No one, not even
| the court. knows what the law is on
any point, until he has investigated
and decided it, and has found himselI
/ not oVerruled. No one can say on
hand what is the law on any point.
| AS long as our Libraries are full of vol
umes of overruled decisions this VIII
| be the case and the science OF law VIII
continue to be the greatest inexact
science of the world
Authorities were quoted to show that
in some cases in New York, Grand Jury
secrets had been revealed on orders Oh
courts Judge Gear remarked that
| New York was an exception in that
matter, and the lawyer stated that the
motion was not to demand a right put
ia ask the court to exercise Its discre-
tion and allow the defendant the bene-
fit of the Grand Jury minutes as II
was claimed had been done IN other
cases, to serve the interests CT Justlce;
! II Is claimed that Davis was indicted
without sufficient evidence, the claim
being based upon a statement OF one
of the witnesses who testified betort
the Grand Jury. which statement as
given outside the jury room appears
to indicate that true Oil ousht ho'
to have been found Judge Gear was
due i'm the Supreme Court at lO O'CLOCK
so that the argument was not hnished
and it will be taken up again.
