ALI GO BACK 70 dLAN WONDERFUL METEOR WANT SHORTER OGW& MAKING CHOICE
HOME RULERS CONVINCED DOLE
WILL STAY.
Kalauokalani Advises Agitators to
Stop-Wilcox Proposes the Name of
Prince David as Governor.

In the Home Rule council over the
question of a successor to Governor
Dole, Senator Kalauokalani, politically
regarded as advisor and agent of EX-
Queen ! -liuokalani, appears in the role
of a. general opponent, it is stated, to
any action at all. Her majesty 1t IS
stated, does not believe in any more
agitation and Kalauokalani is with her
on the proposition. They, with many
others, have reached the conclusion that
tank of removiT Doe from the guber-
material chair is idle waste of words
and that Home Rulers only injure
themselves when they keep up constant
agitation of the subject.
Congressional Delegate Robert w.
Wilcox is said to have proposed Prince
David IIawananakoa as Governor, in
the event of Dole resigning. Wilcox
also says he is not fighting the Cover
nor and does not give the Home Rulers
any encouragement in the idea that
theyran do anything to bring about the
end Of Dole's term as governor of Ha-
waii.
In fact the idea of removing Dole"
appears TO have been dropped all round,
except by Kill-the- Snake Kaulia and a
few others. Some of the former most
active movers in the scheme of "ousting
Dole" have come to the conclusion that
it is no use trying to alter Washington s
high opinion of the executive and that
he will be supported by Mckinley to the
end
The policy of Kalauokalani in urging
a cessation of attacks on Dole and in
opposing altogether the idea of naming
a successor is looked upon as very
significant.
The breakfast luau to be given by the
eX-Queen next Monday in honor of her
birthday is talked of as sort of move
towards Cancellation and like all that
her majesty does, is regarded as Of
political significance. 1t will be a
large affair and will be one of a few
such appearances the ex-Queen has
made since the overthrow. Invitations
have been sent to many government
officials.

ENAR DISSENIS THIS TINE
WAILpKU SUGAR COMPANY CASE
DECIDED.
Circuit Court Sustained on Different
Grounds From Those 1t Based Its
Order On.

The suit of the Wailuku Sugar Com
pany against the Hawaiian Commercial
and sugar Company was decided this
afternoon by the Supreme Court, Frear
dissenting. The opinion was written
by Ferry and concurIed in by Ca. .braith
The case involved the ri~ht to tunnel
under a stream at Wailuku, Maui, and
was appealed from the First Circuit
Court. 1t was held by the lower court
that the plaintiff had failed to show
ute to the land to be tunnelled.
The questions at issue were largely
the meaning of the some Hawaiian
words in a deed of land. Frear dissents
on these rounds and intimates that
the Circuit Judge was with him on his
proposition, but refused the injunction
asked for on different grounds than
| those considered in the majority opin-
ion. These grounds were that, even If
p,aintiff owned the land. the tunnelling
under the stream would not do injury
enough to justify an injunction. JUS
| tice Perry does not consider this point,
as the majority opinion sustaining the
uecree of the lower court made it nec-
| esSary.

JAPS TO FORSNEAR SAKE
PLANTATIONS TO HAVE BENEFIT
OF MURPHY's ELoQUENCE.
Elaborate Plans to Canvass the Islands
in Cause of Temperance-Interpr
ters to be Utilized.

Elaborate preparations for a grand
temperance tour around the whole
group of islands, to be made by Fran
els Murphy and a corps of assistants
upon the return of the temperance ad-
vocate from Australia, are being
thought out and arranged for by
FRANKLIN Austin, president of the local
Murphy Club Association.
AS outlined by Mr. Austin the gem
eral scheme will be to send out within
the next two or three days an avant
courier who will make ARRANGEMENTS
and sign contracts with the various
plantations and communities for a lee
ture by Francis Murphy aided by an
entertainment by the Murphy League
Entertainment Department
The concert, added to the philanthro-
pic motive of Mr. Murphy's address to
the plantation hands is expected to
reap harvest of good besides adding
to the resources of the Murphy move
ment.
1T is NV idea" said Mr.. Austin last
night ITO inaugurate a decisive and
rapid movement throughout the islands
and thus make Mr.. Murphy's visit a
memorable one in philanthropic circles.
l believe the whole trip can be under
taken in a very short while If the
itinerary is carefully mapped out by
the home bureau. Mr.. Murphy will be
accompanied by Japanese and Hawai-
ian interpreters who will translate his
speeches to the various audiences. We
shall endeavor to secure dates at each
of the plantations and I feel sure that
an immense amount of good will be ac-
compished. The local Murphy clubs
expect to make this visit of Mr.. Murphy
an enthusiastic triumph. 1t is probable
that other entertainment will be fur
nished beyond the address of Mr.. Muir
ply. We have a great deal of local
talent in the leP"ue and i'm time there
will be established here a regular lyce-
um of amusements chiefly of vaude-
Vile character that will be sent
throughout the country.
''I feel sure" continued Mr.. Austin,
that Francis Murphy will feel greatly
cheered nv the progress made by the
league during his absence. We have
really achieved wonders in the shape
of forming clubs and reclaiming heavy
drinkers.

ROAsTED KITcHhNER.

p LONDON, August 15.-The waning
session of the House of Commons was
enlivened today by vigorous tilt be-
tween Sir William Vernon Harcourt
Giberal) and Joseph Chamberlain, the
Colonial Secretary, over Lord Kitche-
ner's proclamation. Sir William char
acterized 1t as "a mischievous document
the inspiration of neither Lord Kitche-
ner nor Lord Milner, but the Ministry
of Natal" He declared the Govern
ment in arming the natives was re-
verting to a practice which had left the
darkest stain on the history of the war
between England and America. The
new policy of the Government promised
to be neither creditable nor effective,
and was in contravention of all the
fundamental principles of the st.
Petersburg convention. The country
would welcome an ante adjournment
statement on the status of the war, on
which they were still spending Co.
000,0 a month, although it was declar-
ed ended at the close of the last session.

danger IN THE BLIGHT
THE LANTANA ERADICATION IS
PERILOUS.
Was Discovered in a Japanese Store on
Maui and is Threatening the Forests
of That Island.

Prof. Albert Koebele, government en-
tomologist has just returned from a
tIlp to Maui to inspect the power for
good or evil of the lantana bIIe.., lately
discovered on that island and being
applied there by DR.. Raymond.
Professor Koebele considers the blight
to be anything but an unmiXed blessing.
While it destroys the lantana readily
enough, it also is ready to destroy any
thing else in the shape of vegetation
that it can get it's scale bugs to work
on, being a threatening danger to the
forest trees.
The blight is one of six species that
have lodged practically all over the
world this particular branch of the
family being indigenous to India and
Ceylon. 1t seems to be in particularly
happy circumstances on the Island OF
Maui having apparently no foes to dis
pute it's supremacy.
Professor Koebele found the lady bug
grazing contentedly on the meallie bugs
side by side with the scale bugs of the
blight and making no predatory at
tempts on what should be its natural
enemies.
The lantana blight according to the
entomologist was first discovered In 4
Japanese store on Maui some little
while ago and in his opinion should bt
carefully prevented from spreading tC
other islands of the group.

JUDGE GEAR ovERRULED ALL
ROUND.
Convictions by Nine Jurors Were Legal
After Annexation-Frank Pahia Gets
His Liberty-Galbraith Dissents.

DURING TIL PERIOD BETWEEN
THE ANNEXATION OF THESE ISL
ANDS TO THE UNITED STATES
AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF
TERRITORIAL GOVERNMENT,

COULD LAWFULLY BE PROSE-
CUTED WITHOUT THE INTERVIEW
TION OF A GRAND JURY AND CON-
VICTED BY NINE OUT Or TWELVE
\ JURORS. RS."-Decision of the Supreme
lCourt, Galbraith dissenting, reversing
the habeas corpus order of Judge Gear
The Supreme Court handed down five
decisions this afternoon. Three of them
. are in the well known habeas corpus
eases. The majority of the court, Gal
braith dissenting, held that Perry was
not disqualified, that an appeal from
Gears habeas corpus ruling was allow
able and that Gears decisions releas-
ing the prisoners on habeas corpus was
wrong.
The opinion Of the court was written
in the All OF case, by Chief Justice
Frear and concurred in by Perry. 1t
decides, first that the Organizes acts
provision that no justice shall sit in
appeal on a case on which he has al
ready made a ruling in lower Ct urt

matters; second, that an appeal from d
habeas corpus decision of a circuit
judge at chambers lies, either by the
defendant or by the prosecution; and
third that between the annexation of
the Islands and establishment of the
Territorial government, criminals could
be lawfully convicted by nine lhroTs, or
without Grang Jur7 indictments.
The other habeas corpus case IS that
of Frank Pahia The same que ton of
right of apneal was decided in the same
way, Perry writing the opinion and
Galbraith dissenting. 1t was further
held that Judge Gear had no iurisdic-
ton to order Frank Pahia to reconvey
the property he bought from Malama
while she was under guardianship, and
that therefore Gears order committing
him for contempt for refusing, was
void. The marriage of the ward ter
minated the guardianship of itself.
In this case Galbraith wrote no opin-
ion, simply writing IT resnectfully and
earnestly dissent from the doctrine an
nounced in the foregoing opinion OF
the majority OF the court"
Under the decision on All o. Osak1
Havoc, Ihara Ichigoro, Yamane Mem
chiro, the Kahuku murderers, and all
others who might have apnlied for re-
-Iease under Gears decision, must serve
their old sentences. Witnesses had been
summoned to appear before Jud"e Will
cox tomorrow to retry the cases, put
this is not necessary now.
The next move of the prisoners a
torneys may be an application to Unit
ed States Judge Estee for writF OF ma

WATERFOWL, IN. ", August 10,
Mrs. Carrie Nation added to her expert
ences today, when she had her face
roughly slapped by man, who resented
her grabbing for a cigar he was smok-
ing. She was taking trip on one of
the ST. Lawrence river Loats and was
giving the passengers a TRADE against
the use of tobacco. She was taxing
cigars and cigarettes from the passen-
gers and made an attempt to snatch
a cigar from the mouth of Eugene Fo-
ley, a travelling man from Utica. Foley
slapped her in the face and she imme-
diately terminated her crusade against
tobacco. Foley afterward apologized
for striking her.

NJ. Lancaster's Contempt in Failing to
Pay Alimony.

The divorce suit of Lena A. KumuIae
against Representative Jonah Kumulae
was suddenly withdrawn this morning.
The parties have adjusted their differ
ences and are content to remain man
and wife. j. 7. de Bolt, attorney for
Mrs. Kumulae. filed a brief document
stating that the plaintiff withdrew and
discontinued her action, am the suit
is at an end.
The case had been placed on the call
endar for the November term of court
and would not have been reached for
sometime. 1t was brought by Mrs. Ku-
mulae about two months after the
couple We're married, and was based
upon some sensational charges of
cruelty, the alleged cruel treatment of
| the bride having begun a week after
the wedding. An absolute divorce and
heavy alimony were asked for.
Judge Gears calendar today was
changed by the death of me daughter
of Juror Lane who is one of those sit
ting in the Harrison Magoon case. Lane
was excused and the case went over till
tomorrow.
In the case of the Territory against f.
j. Mallett a nolle prosequi was entered

in the district court Of common nuisance
and fined 800, the offense being setting
off needlessly and dangerously large
| charges of giant powder in making eX-
cavations for the Young building.
Mile Lancaster has been oruereu to
| appear before Judge Gear tomorrow
and show cause why he should not be
punished for contempt, having fail
ed to pay his divorced wife 81 per week
as ordered by the court when the de-
cree of divorce was made in February.
Mrs. Lancaster alleges that she got 81
only once.

INCOME TAX SUSTAINED
SUPREME COURT SAYS THE ACT
is VALID.
Justice Galbraith Dissents-A Very
Long Decision and an Equally Long
Opinion Dissenting.

The Income Tax law was sustained
in a decision rendered this afternoon
by the Supreme Court, written by Chief
Justice Frear, with Galbraith dissent
ing and Perry concurring. The deci-
sion is a very lonP one, beir~ the long
est of five handed down this afternoon.
Galbraith's dissenting opinion is as
long as the decision.
1t is held that even If some sections
of the law are unconstitutional this
does not invalidate the whole act. The
suit involving the question as to in
dividuals and the one brought to test
the law as to corporations were con-
sdered toPether, and the attorneys who
attacked the law were ruled against on
every point.

BURNED ms WEALTH.

FARIBAULT, (Minn.) August IA
Twenty-Five thousand dollars in bills
will be publicly burned by order of the
Probate Court unless a clause in the
will of Harvey Scott which was filed
with Judge Hutter today is knocked
out by the courts. Scott, who was 81
years old, left an estate oil $4,000, halt
of which is in bank notes anu United
States currency. In order TO deprive
his legal heirs-three in number-of any
share in this money. he directed that II
be burned. Last winter $4,000 in bank
notes was burned by Scott in the pres
ence of witnesses. The heirs have pro
tested on the ground that the admins
traitor has no more right to destroy
money by fire than he would have t.
destroy buildings. They will make 9
bitter fight in the courts against the
carrying out of the terms of the will.

LOCAL CLERKS PLANNING AN
ORGANIZATION
They Do Not Ask for Increase of
Pay But Want to Close Much
Earlier.

A movement is on foot among the
wholesale and retail clerks of this city
to form a protective association. This
plan is the direct result of the agitation
for Saturday afternoon closing OF the
various stores in town but it goes a lit
tie further in it's demands. The or
ganization is to be formed for the pres
ent purpose of securing shorter hours
but it will no doubt. if successfully
brought about. be an aid to the general
condition of clerks of Honolulu. The
idea is to form the organization on lines
similar to that of the San francisco
clerks association which has been in
existence for several years.
The demands of the organization are
two fold. They ask that all stores be
closed at o'clock on ordinary work.
ing days, and at l o'clock Saturday af-
ternoons. No attempt is to be made
to change the present hour for COM
lncnchg W. K the movement being en-
tirely directed toward securing a short
ening of the time at the latter part of
the day.
In the matter of concessions, the
clerks assert that they are more than
willing to meet their employers. The
clerks are perfectly willing to allow eX-
ceptions to their demands. They will
agree to work late during the two weeks
preceding the Christmas holidays and
also late on each night before other
holidays. In the matter of closing for
holidays, the policy has not been posi-
lively decided upon. In all probability
however, the four big holidays. like
Christmas, New Years, Fourth of July
and Thanksgiving will of course, be
asked for. As a matter of fact how
ever, practically all of the stores grant
their employees holidays on these days
now. Tt is likely that some of the les
ser holidays may also be desired.
One matter which will probably cause
the clerks considerable discussion is
the treatment to be accorded the clerks
in .--e drug stores. This class of stores
are usually regarded as essential at all
hours. In as much as the local drug
stores close Sunday afternoons it may
be contended that the new rule should
apply to them as WELL
invita- tions to all of the clerks in the
city, women as well as men, to meet
next Thursday night and discuss the
matter will be sent out. The indica-
| tions are very favorable, the movers of
| the association assert. for the success of
| their plan. At the present time the sole
| object of the association is to obtain
shorter hours. No attempt to force the
| EMPLOYERS to paw higher wages, is plan
ned. The only idea in this connection is
to oreanize with the idea of maintain
| ing the present scale of wages.

FREE DELIVERY.
It's Most Marked Effect is at General
Delivery Window.

The letter carriers were ordered down
to the post office at o'clock this morn
ing and by s o'clock they We're out on
their routes with the local mail and the
island mail from all the other islands
except Hawaii. This mail was brought
by the Lehua, Claudine, w. G. Hall and
other steamers from Kauai arriving
here Sunday morning.
The foreign mail BROUGHT by the
Meade was delivered Saturday morn
ing. The Kinau mail was delivered
Saturday afternoon. The rest of the
" -lar6 -rai was delivered first
thing this morning.
4..l most rpA,eabe effect of free
general delivery was shown Friday
night at the general delivery window
The foreign mail by the Meade was re-
ceiVed about $3.50 o'clock. The night
service was in operation and so the
general delivery windows were open al
the time. But there was no long line
at the window waiting for the distri-
button to be concluded. The reason
given is that large proportion of those
receiving their mail at the general de-
livery window in the past knew II
would be delivered at their homes neXt
day and so did not waste their time
waiting around the post office for it.
Some people who thought they ough
to have got mail by the Meade because
that vessel brought a foreign mail
blamed the free delivery because they
did not get it. But they were usually
satisfied with the explanation that thei
correspondents probably knew nothing
about the Meade sailing and were hold
ing their letters for the Peking.

THE HAMAKUA FOREST FIRES.

Forester Haughs lately returned from
the scene of the forest fires at Hama
kua gives it as his opinion that moth
ing short of a downpour of rain can put
out the flames before they have tho
roughly denuded the region of forests.
1t is impossible to get within a prac-
tical radius of the fire on account of the
intense heat not only above but under
ground, where the spreading roots are
being reduced to tinder and honey
combing the ground, thus causing an
added danger to those attempting to
reduce the flames or save any portion OF
