family of natives living in one of III.
NJ. Dow's houses were about to retire
when they We're startled by the cry of
Fire They discovered that the shed
in the rear of the house used for Stor-
age purposes, was in flames "A few
buckets of water were procured and
dashed upon the blaze and long before
the fire department reached the scene all
was quiet on Punchbowl street The
Waterman at the Board of Health stable
was the first to discover the fire, and by
his prompt action in raising the alarm,
he undoubtedly saved a large number OF
frame structures from being burned to
the ground.
The cause was discovered later when
an investigation was made in the shed.
1t seems that one of the native men had
come home about 10 O'Clock He had
been smoking a pipe. He forgot to knock
the ashes out of the bowl before plac-
ing the imitation briarwood in his hip
pocket. After removing his trousers he
hung them up in the shed, and the
smouldering ashes coming in contact
with the cloth soon had the garments
afire.

THE TnURSTON DECISION.

Judge Humphreys was in such hur-
ry to fine and imprison Mr
Thurston that he forgot to sentence
him for contempt, and simply ordered
that he be fined and imprisoned on gen
eral principles The vicious intent was
there plainly enough; it is simply an
other instance of the unjust judge over
reaching himself. Although less vicious
in degree than the attempt to jail
Messrs Hartwell, Kinney and Ballou
for thirty days, the attempt to line Mr..
Thurston S10G had even less foundation
| than the other circumstances. Mr..
Thurston had committed no act of
, contempt. He had simply claimed be-
, fore the Grand Jury that the law did
not permit him to tell them who was
his client, as that was a matter of con-
fidence between him as an attorney
and his client; that the client would
be injured if his name was revealed
and had refused permission that his
attorney should reveal it; that the
privilege of secrecy was that of the
client and not of the attorney, and that
the law of attorney and client did not
allow the attorney to disclose the name
of the client under these circum
stances.
That was the status of the matter
when ii arrived before Juuge Hum
phreys. 1t was within the jurisdiction
of the latter to rule that the claim
made by Mr. ~Thurston was not good
law; but there was no ground for de-
Gliding that because the claim was not
well taken a contempt had been COM
mitted, any more than would have been
the case if the attorney had in any
proceeding claimed any other privilege
or right for his client and been over
ruled by the court.
The imposition of the fine was wanton
and malicious abuse of power over one
whom Judge Humphreys considers to
be an enemy.
If anything was lacking to demon
Strate the personal viciousness of the
act it was the judges going outside of
the record and intimating that Mr..
Thurston'S client was myth, some
occult, unknown mysterious client as
he phrased it, who was a mere subter-
fuge behind which to hide essential
facts from the. Grand Jury. There was
nothing on the record, in the report of
the Grand Jury or in the argument of
counsel, even suggesting bad faith on
Mr.. Thurston's part. And yet the
judge wantonly manufactures charges
and promulgates them from the bench,
which, If true, would constitute per-
jury.
Although Mr.. Coerper, the "myster-
ious unknown and occult client" has
appeared, corroborated every statement
that Mr.. Thurston made, and shown
wherein his interests would have been
jeopardized If his name had been made
public, Judge Humphreys has not had
the decency to withdraw his charges
or apologize for making them. 1t is
not to be expected that he would do
so, however, for it is simply one of
series of acts on his part which serve
to demonstrate that the man is devoid
of the fundamental principles of jus
tice and fairness, which make him un
fit and unsafe to hold the position of
judge. with arbitrary power over per-
sonal liberty and property rights.

AT TIE oRPHEUM.
The Burglar and Senator McFes
Well Presented.

Last nights performance of The
Burglar" was artistically the best that
the ElIefords have presented this sea-
SON. With the aid of elaborate stage
settings and effects, the Orpheum
scenery was hardly recognizable, while
the cast throughout was happily fitted
to the Characterization.
Baby Lillian played the scene with
Berchand Walling most daintily, her

lar, burgle as quietly as you can"
bringing down the house She is I'M
doubtedly the cleverest child that has
visited Honolulu. being not only clever,
but natural Her two little songs were
capitally sung. Berch gave vivid in
depreciation of the burglar, using ar
tistic repression and carrying off the
dramatic situations with much quiet
intensity. Walling and Wyman Were
both good and Watson deserves much
credit for his light comedy work as
Edward cambridge. Watson is con-
scientious and superlatively usefui
actor to d stock company, possessing
intimate acquaintance with the art OF
makeup and no little originality, be-
ing, besides, a good dialectician. Jessie

of arousing the jealousy of her hus-
band. Both Jessie and Elleford We're

double bill should not be missed, THE

in manner that would be creditable
to many of the higher priced compa-

No one knows better than the Ha-
waiian land-holders how useful the
Survey Department Is to them All
the while Hawaiians are visiting the
office and consulting it's excellent maps
about the precise original boundaries
of their kuleanas. etc. Lawyers and real
estate dealers study the maps assidu-
ously. Great tracts of public land re-
main which, when 1T goes on the mar
ket, must be officially surveyed. OF
course the Home Rule Legislature
knows or cares nothing about these
things, and will keep It's suicidal pace.
The way things are going will be
about the only argument needed to
convince Washington how hopelessly
inefficient the Home Rule party is to
provide good government.

In the face of the fact that the capt.
toll and the judiciary building are
swarming with Hawaiian clerks, a
Home Rule legislator had the impu-
dence to say yesterday that the haoles
are drawing the color line" And this
was said at the very time when the
Legislature is doing it's best to cut
down the salaries of all white men en-
ployed by the Government, and to raise,
to an unconscionable height, the sal
aries of Hawaiians. 1t is the Wilcox
outfit that is drawing the color line.

Charles Wilcox differs from the en-
tire Board OF Health in the belief that
he is comprehensive with previous
Boards of Health. The fact is that
Wilcox could not hold responsible
clerical position anywhere outside of
politics, and in politics has not been
able TO hold one save by sufferance.
When something out of the ordinary
minute-keeping was needed of the
boards secretary, as in the plague era,
the board had to employ Mr.. Hendry.
Even letter-writing could not be en-
trusted to Wilcox. ~g"i

The announcement in the republican
that Mr. Dole has sent his resignation
to Washington is untrue Evidently
in the writer's mind the wish is father
to the thought. Governor Dole has not
resigned. and has no reason to resign.
Indeed in view of the conspiracy to
give Hawaii a carpet-bag government
he has the utmost reason to stick.

Justice Jerome, Of the Court of Special Sessions
sitting as a committing magistrate in the library
Of the Criminal Courts Building. yesterday gave
examination to the prisoners who
rested in the poolroom at Eleventh-ave. and
Twentieth-st on Monday afternoon. The exam
ination. however, was turned into an investiga-
tion of the police at the West Twenteth-st. sta
ton. Apparently Justice Jerome was determined
sft to the bottom the attempt to tip off, the
poolroom at the time of the raid and the queer
disappearance of the man calling himself king"
who taken the police station by Policeman
Donohue and allowed hide in the basement of
the station until Justice Jerome, Frank Moss ana
other leaders in the raid had departed
That Justice Jerome's threat on Monday after
noon TO hold Captains Moynihan and Donohue re-
sponsible IL king not produced in court yes
terday was effective was shown by the appearance
of the man with the other prisoners. Then Justice
Jerome surprised the police by calling the man as
witness against Donohue. Upon being questioned
closely. the man said his real name was James F.
Kennahan and that he lived at No SO kins-st
Then he said he had a wife and sometimes lived
at No. 800 West Sixteenth-st.
II don't want this to reach my wife, he said with
a whimper. 1T will bring lot of odium on us
and perhaps degrade and incriminate me-
Kennahan could not be induced to admit that he
had tried TO Tip off, the poolroom with the know-
edge of Donohue and Detective Hughes. AS to his
disappearance in the police station he said he felt
sick and went to the basement. He said he had
been a fireman time.
Detective Hughes denied that he had been
cerned in tipping off, places which the Com
mittee of Fifteen intended to make raids. He said
he found king in the basement of the station
after Justice Jerome had gone away on Monday
afternoon.
Odd you not know that there was poolroom
At Eleventh-ave. and Twentieth St? A-Never

Never heard of il.
The witness, in answer to questions from Justice
