FSIEE ASKED 70 DECIDE
MAY OVERRULE TREASURY DE
PARTMENT.
Yung Ho Appeals to the Court for an
Order Compelling Issuance of Ger
tificate

United States Judge Estee has been
asked to order Collector of Internal
Revenue Chamberlain to issue a resi-
dence certifcte for YUM Ho. Yung
Hos case came up yesterday and he
satisfactorily proved that he was a
former resident of Honolulu, owning
considerable interests. over a year
ago he went to China, securing a GUS
tom house certificate to permit his re-
turn. BY reason of illness he was not
able to get back in time to get a GER
tificate.
Chamberlain's instructions so far are
that no certificates should be issued
after June IA last. He is therefore re-
fusing to issue any more.
Chamberlain has no more blank GER
tificates here, and could not issue the
desired papers if he wanted to. with
out sendine to Washington. If Estee
makes the order that has been asked
for the Collector will ask the Depart
ment for instructions.
Consul Yang Wal Pin recently wrote
to the collector regarding a similar
case, and the matter was submitted to
Washington. The result was a decision
that the Chinese had no right to a GER
tificate. 1t was held that those who
| left the country and didn't get back
to register must suffer the consequ-
ences of their neglect, the government
having long ago passed and published
the law recurring such registration to
be completed by June IA, 1901. In the
present case, however, the fact that
Yung Ho is supposed to have been too
| i'll to get back may influence Estee
decision as to his rights, and the court
| ruling may oVerrule the treasury de-
partment's decision.

FIRED WITH SICK CREW.
ROUGH EXPERIENCE OF THE
MARIPOSA.
Shipped Two Dozen Green Firemen and
Coal Passers And All Got sick-some
Overcome by Heat.

There were about twenty-four men on
the Mariposa after she left San Fran
cisco who were roasting" the strike
and their own luck probably worse
than the heaviest loser on the Coast
The crowd shipped as firemen and coal
passers on the Mariposa. To most of
them 1t was an entirely new experience
and they certainly paid for it,
Practically all of the men were green
hands. Seasickness would have been
bad enough but when coupled with it
was the task of working six hour shifts
in the fire room and coal bunkers the
strain proved too great and for a while
they were the sickiest looking lot that
ever boarded the Mariposa. 1t was the
heat which proved too much for lem.
all of the crowd suffered more or less
but half a dozen were affected very bad.
The ships doctor was busy man for
the first three or four days ministering
to the sick crowd. He pulled most of
his patients through after they had
been i'll several days but one of the
crowd was so completely done up that
he was unable to work the entire trip
down.
1t was said that two of the men be-
came so exhausted by the heat that
they went completely out of their heads
and rushed out of the fire room on deck
and tried to throw themselves over-
DOdIu his SldleIltHl, Ill all pTODdDl-
. lity originated, from the fact that one
of the firemen did go out of his head
and raved a little. He was quieted be-
fore he attempted anything violent. The
officers of the vessel deny that any of
the men tried to jump overheard, as do
the men in the fireroom. Had such a
thing occurred it would not have been
surprising for tragedies of this char
acter have often been reported on the
Atlantic boats.
One of the passengers said that he
heard some of the passengers, especial
ly those in the steerage, asked to
turn to and help in the engine room as
the force below was sorely crippled. The
officers of the vessel state that this is
not true. Several of the young men
among the passengers did go into the
fire room and stocked for about an hour
but they soon tired of the job and had
it not been attempted as the result of
foolish wager they would have stop
ped work a few minutes after they be-
gan. The vessel made a very good run.

.B|VALVES CONE 70 TOWN more HAWAIIAN CLAIMS
PERJURY BEFORE FIRE CLAIMS
COURT.
Nakookoos Style of Addition Does Not
Please Testa-Mai Ailau's Clothes for
A Friends Grandchildren.

The Court of Fire Claims got through
temporarily with Hawaiian claims yes
terday afternoon, to take them up again
at a future date. On Monday Japanese
claims come up again. The Hawaiian
claims heard yesterday were for house
hold goods, ETC., and all seemed to have
been made out on a liberal scale Rank
perjury has been perfectly apparent in
some of the claims submitted.
Mrs. Owela Ah Sam presented claim
for $471.50 She gave her occupation as
housewife and said that her claim was
for clothing and furniture. Most of the
stuff burned had been new at the time
of the fire. Under cross-examination
by Attorney Dunno, representing the
government, she admitted that her val
uations were "all flying guesses."
I'VE will make some flying guesses
too" said President Macfarlane, and
for the rest of the day flying guesses"
was quite popular expression.
Mai Ailau had a claim of $597.35, but
she didn't know it. She told Dunno it
was $500 and then that it was $577. 80
Unlike the preceding witness, she at
first remembered the cost of everything
in the long list of articles she gave the
commission. Later, however, she ad-
mitted that she too had made some fly.
ing guesses.
Mai had been buying furniture for
n1teen years, and II all went up in the
big fire. Like most of the Hawaiians
she had some valuable calabashes. She
had an $18 hat with a valuable os-
trich feather, and the flames devoured
it. Sne had a tent, which she used
when she gave luaus. Testa wanted to
know if she had had any children and
she said she had not, whereupon the
wise judge wanted to know why she put
in claim for a lot of babies clothes.
1t was found that friend of hers had a
grandchild. -
Did you ever pay taxes on any Of
these things?" asked Testa holding up
the long typewriter inve 1tory.
Mai said she had never paid taxes,
and was excused to make way for S.
w. keleikinia, who wanted $78S7S, for
his losses during the conflagration.
very large number of the Hawaiian
claimants are represented by Attorney
Nakookoo, who is subjected to series
of very regular roasts from Testa, who
objects to Nakookoo's style of mathe-
matics 1t appears that j. NJ. Riggs,
clerk of the court, does not add the
same way as the X-Sergeant-at-arms
of the house, and it is often found that
Nakcokoo's totals have to be altered

a NATIVE SHOWS WHAT PEARL
HARBoR CAN DO.
He Brings in Excellent Specimens of
< oysters, Mussels, Etc. For the Fish
( Commissioners.

/ Pearl Harbor is teeming with shell
FISH. This is the statement of natives
who know the waters from bottom to
top. John De Fries used to gather
many species of bivalves from the har-
Dor for his table This morning l.. Ka-
hkapu, one of the best informed ma
tives around the harbor came into town
with a most interesting collection. He
brought them up for the use of the
United States fish commissioners now
here. They were turned over to Henry
Waterhouse and through him Will reach
their destination,
The native has his own classification
of the vari-formed bivalves His names
and what appears to be the English
classification are as follows: Kupikala
large oyster; olepe, clam; okupe,
clam; pupu olioli, snail; papaua, spe-
cies of oyster smaller than the kupi-
kala; pupu makaiki, snail; pipipi, oys-
ter; nahaweli, mussel.
The native expert states that all of
these specimens are edible and most
of them abound. There is not an
abundance of oysters for the reasons
that the harbOr has never been stocked
with them and they have been sought
out by the fishermen. He believes that
a systematic stocking of the harbor
with oysters and the protection of the
DlValNeS IOr a perlOu thereafter ny lne
government would result in a supply
sufficient for the needs of Honolulu.
DR.. Jenkins and Mr. Cobb. of the
party of fish commissioners. are greatly
interested in the subject of oysters at
Pearl Harbor. The former told Mr.
Waterhouse that he would use every
endeaVor to have an expert come to Ho-
nolulu to look into the matter and to
formulate rlans for developing the in
dustry.
About six years aPo John F. Colburr
conceived the idea of taking oysters
from Pearl Harbor for the Honolulu
market There was, and is, quite bed
near his place on the east side of the
middle loch, in Paaua pond. The oys-
ters were sold at McIntyre's grocery
for several months, but the prices nee
essary to meet expenses were so high
that the business was frozen out. The
oysters were pronounced Al by the
public at that time.

INCURABLE HOSPITAL.
New Institution VIII Take Place of The

Speaking Of the proposed new Hospi-
tai for Incurables today Alexander
Young said: THE new hospital will
take up the work so well begun and
carried on by the Victoria hospital in
Kakaako, though on much more Ella
borate scale. 1t is expected that when
1t is started the Kakako hospital will
close.
"A meeting has been called for Mon
day afternoon. A general invitation
to everyone interested has been ex-
tended The whole matter will be dis
cussed at the meeting, and when that is
done we will know what is ahead. 1t is
my intention to urge an immediate be-
ginning of the work. The present in
tention is to locate the hospital on the
high, dry land near Telegraph hill"

CHINESE FOR CANEF|HDS
LOCAL CHINESE ARE WORKING
UP A PLAN.
May Ask Congress, Throu~h Delegate
Wilcox, to Admit 5000 on Conditions
Goo Kim and Kentwell.

Chinese Vice Consul Goo Kim and
nearly all the prominent Chinese mer-
chants of the city are enlisted in a
scheme to promote the proposition of
bringing a limited number of Chinese
laborers into Hawaii for stated periods.
Although no meetings have been held,
the merchants have canvassed among
themselves and have found a unity of
sentiment in regard to the matter. As
it now stands the proposition is to lay
the subject before Delegate Wilcox with
the request that he endeavor to get a
special act through Congress approving
such plans as may be formulated.
Mr.. Goo Kim's idea is that an ar
rangement can be made whereby 5000
Chinese laborers can be brought in
for strictly labor purposes, they to be
returned at the end of three years. He
points out that, as they would not be
registered they could not go the main
land anyway, there could not be any
objection on the part of the laboring
men of the States. InaSmuch as it
would be a great ADVANTAGE to the
people of the Islands and would not af-
feet the mainland labor market q parti.
Gle, he does not see why Congress
should object to such a regulation, pro-
vided there is nothing legal in the way
l.. K. Kentwell, one of the promoters
ago to import a large number of Chi
nese into Mexico, and who is interest
ing himself in this matter, says: There
is nothing personal or selfish on tn
part of leading Chinese in their effort
to get this measure through. In all
the discussion the ruling thought has
been the benefit of the sugar indus
try, the Chinese recognizing that the
keeping of that on a profitable basis
means the good of everyone.
LAS l understand it the idea is to
ask for the admission of $500 as a
starter and others as they may be need
ed, they to be returned to China at the
end of three years. They would be
brought here for plantation labor pur-
poses. OF course there could be no
contracts, and the immigrants would
not be comuelled to remain as aPricul-
tural laborers. Doubtless many of them
would soon leave for the city but they
would run uD against the same PROPOSE
ton encountered by the Japanese. The
Japanese got tired of working in the
canefields and came to Honolulu. They
have found out. however, that there
is not employment here for them and
are returning again to the sugar es
tates.
1--WE have no intimation as to wha'
Congress might or might not do. AT
the same time we believe that 'he idea
is a reasonable one, if it is clearly pre-
sented and is understood at Washing
ton. There will be sometime done be
fore Mr.. Wilcox returns to Washing
ton, but just what l am unable at thi
time to tell"

TIE HAGEY JAG-CURE SUIT
HOW THE INSTITUTE CURED
DRUNKS.
T. M. Harrison Trying to Collect $4,000
He Put Up for New Zealand Jag
Cure Rights.

Judge Gear and jury yesteday after
noon began trial of the Hagey cure
case, which promises to bring forth
some interesting testimony about the
drunk-cure scheme known here and
elsewhere as the Hagey cure. 1t is a
suit of r. M. Harrison a New Zealand
lawyer, against ]. A. Magoon. f. b
McStocker, l.. G. Ables, Dorothea Lamb
and a number of defendants in the
United States and Canada, for $4,000
on account of contract entered into
by which Harrison was to cure Tags by
the Hagey method in New Zealand.
Harrison says that the Hagey meth
cd is very simple and is necessarily a
success to those who try it. The Sc
cret, says the man who tried to work
it in New Zealand, is druo that makes
intoXicants highly nauseatin~. Pa
tients are given all the liquor they
want but they do not usually want
much. BY means of hypodemic injec-
tions or drugs otherwise administered
those being treated are gotten into a
condition which causes liquor to bring
about terrible fits of vomiting. A man
may drink all the booze he wants while
being treated, but 1t is usually found
that one or two of these fits loses his
aloha for alcoholic beverages.
Harrison alleges that he went to New
Zealand to manage the business of the
african, Pacific and Indian Hagey
Cure" but he says he was disappointed
with the way it worked. He had put
up $4,000 before he was let into the
secret" of the cure, with the under
standing that if he was so disappointed
he could Pet his money back. He was
disappointed and tried to get the money
back but says he could not get his cash
back.
The jurors in the case are: H. Ber-
telmann, A. w. Pearson =. C. Jones,
]. S. Walker, F. Harvey. Isaac L. Cock
EFT. E. K. Hanapi, r. c. Lane, George
Nawaakoa, d. b. Renear. w. F. Irving,
J. Kunewa. The testimony of l.. c.
Ables was taken yesterday and the case
went over to Monday.

DENIED ADMISSION.
Chinese Merchant From San Francisco
Stopped by Stackable.

c. Seen, a Chinaman claiming to be
a merchant of San Francisco, arrived
by the Mariposa last evening and was
refused a landing by Collector Stack
able of the Customs department. The
matter is still under consideration. If
the refusal is adhered to by the COllec-
tor the Chinaman will seek to gain ad-
mittance by means of habeas corpus
Aboard the Mariposa last evening
Seen had this to say: II am connected
with mercantile firm in San Francis
co, having connection with the Homo
lulu firm of Wing Wo Chan Company,
and came here on business for both con-
Germs. l have lived eighteen years in
San Francicso and have never been
to Honolulu before"
The man talks good English, which
would seem to bear out the statement
that he had lived quite a time on the
mainland. When asked what his pill
lkia" was he said $50" which an Indian
might accept as proving that he had
never been to Honolulu.

DEPoRTED CHINESE ESCAPE.
America Maru Detained Today on That
Account.

The America Maru was delayed in
sailing this morning owing to the es-
cape of two Chinese. The vessel was
about to leave at IL o'clock as had been
scheduled, but notice was @iven Cap
tain Going to wait until the Chinese
had been located or else sufficient proof
of their escape had been made.
When the America Maru arrived yes
terday afternoon from San Francisco
she brought 25 Chinese who had been
ordered deported from California. This
morning the crowd was checked up and
two of them named Yee Wo Dun and
Wo Cheong were missing. A search
of the vessel was made but no trace Of
them could be found. The crowd was
checked and rechecked but without sue
cess. Finally Captain Going made affi-
davit to the effect that the two men had
escaped whereupon his vessel was Der-
mitted to depart. Unless the Chinese
ara "ought it will probably mean a fine
of $40O to the Japanese steamship line
as the local collector is quite strict in
enforcing the regulations.
