COON MAKES An APPEAL
AN OLD TIME PRISONER IN

w. j. Coon, who jumped bail about

an appeal for liberty to the Circuit

LIGHTFOOT ANSWERS CONTEMPT
SUMMONS.
A Minor in Hardee Estate Who Refuses
pers Filed.

j. o. Lightfoot, guardian of King
minors, today made answer to the
summons citing him to appear for con-
tempt for not having coplied with the
order of Judge Gear that he increase
the allowance of the minors. The or
der also required him to execute a
lease for some of the King property.
In his answer Lightfoot states that the
draft of a lease submitted to him is
not satisfactory to his attorneys, Ma
goon and Thompson, and that the mat
ter has not yet been settled so that
he can pay the extra allowance asked.
In the Supreme Court this morning
the fisheries case of the Territory
against Liliuokalani was continued,
with Justice Galbraith, Judge Gear and
Col. Tom Fitch on the bench. r. ID.
Silliman took up the morning with an
argument.
In the case of Francisco de Sa VS..
j. S. Azevedo Administrator of the es-
tate of Gerardo j. Rocio, appealed from
the district court, where a judgment
was given for $14.S2, Judge Gear gave
a judgment for $5S and costs.
j. A. Thompson's report as master in
the estate of Charles M. Hardee and
Edward julius Hardee, minors, shows
the latter to have drawn less than half
his regular allowance. The master re-
ports that the minor is supporting him
self and wants the estate to grow un-
til he becomes of age.

EXPENSIVE TRIO OF COWS
MAY COST HELENE A FINE AT
SAN FRANCISCO.
Captain Neglected to Enumerate Them
on His Manifest And Has Run Afoul
OF Customs Law

When Captain Christianson of the
schooner Helene gets back to San Fran
cisco he will have to do a lot of ex-
planning to the Collector of that port,
to escape paying a fine of 500. If the
fine is levied, it will be on account Of
three cows which Captain Christianson
brought down with him from San Fran
cisco this last trip.
The skipper has probably run afoul
of the customs regulations of the Unit
ed States. He is alleged to have clear
ed from San Francisco without having
enumerated three cows on his manifest
When the schooner reached here the
omission was discovered.
Collector Stackable notified the Col
lector at San Francisco of the occur
renee, so the matter has now passed out
of the hands of the local authorities as
1t is purely one which comes within the
jurisdiction of the San Francisco Off
cial. If any fine is levied, therefore, it
will be by the Collector of the main
land port.
There is a clause in the revised sta
tutes which gives masters the au-
thority to correct their manfests after
leaving port but whether it applies in
the present case will have to be deter
mined.
The Sierra was fined 500 recently for
a somewhat similar occurrence. Be
tween San Francisco and this port,
some foreign goods were added to the
vessels manifest Collector Stackable
notified the San Francisco authorities
with the result that a fine was levied
on the Steamship. In that case how
ever, it was foreign goods added to the
list and they were liable to seizure,
whereas in the case of the Helene, the
articles are not so classed. so they are
not to be seized by the customs people.

A VERY LOW DEATH RATE.
LAST MONTHS MORTALITY REC
ORD.
A Decrease of One-Third, with Infant
Mortality only Half What II Was in
September.

The month of October, 1901, closed
yesterday with the lowest death rate
OF any month for over three years past.
ana with rate far below the average
for much longer than that. There
were only 66 deaths last month, which
is about third less than the average
that has prevailed lately.
The last month was also unusual in
the matter of rainfall, the dry weather
lasting longer into the fall than is or
dinary. 1t is thought that there may
be some connection between this and
the low death rate. The last time a
month passed with as few deaths as
last month was in 1898, when Septem-
Der showed only 5S deaths. The last
october to equal the one just passed
was that of 1897, in which were only
63 deaths.
The figures for the month show that
the gain was among infants Infant
mortality has been recognized as re-
sponsible in large measure for the large
death of rate of Honolulu. During the
month of September this year the num-
Der of deaths of children under 10
years of age was AZ. Last month it
was only 20.
DIR. Pratt, executive officer of the
Board of Health, this morning stated
that it was quite possible that the dry
weather might have had something to
do with the low death rate, by lessen
ing the number of colds, cases of pneu
monia, etc. He regarded the months
figures as highly satisfactory. There
may be one or two deaths re-
ported yet before we close up our fig
ures for the month";" said the doctor,
but it is certain at any rate that the
number of deaths for the month is far
below the average"
