WAS THE ONLY WITNESS
A BOYS EVIDENCE AGAINST HIS
MOTHERS SLAYER.
Can an Atheist Testify in Hawaiian
Courts? Is Question Propounded
BY Gear.

can an atheist testify in the courts
of Hawaii?" was the question pro-
pounded this morning by Judge Gear.
The judge spent most of yesterday af-
ternoon and all this morning listening
to arguments on the question of whe-
ther ten-year old Hideo was a compe-
tent witness in the case of the Territory
against Nakamura. The latter Is
charged with killing Hideo's mother by
blow on the head, and the little boy
was the only witness who saw what
took place when the alleged assault was
committed.
Did you swear by Buddha that you
would tell the TRUTH" the court asked
yesterday in effort to find out what
Hideo knew of God and of taking an
oath.
The answer came through the inter-
prefer that Hideo did not swear by
pig. 1t appears that the Japanese word
for pig is buda. and Hideo knew moth
ing of Buddha. He knew Christ, and
was firm in the belief that if he did not
tell the truth he would be punished by
God Attorneys Brooks and Douthitt
and Davis and Wilder questioned him
at much length and then the Judge took
hand. 1t was shown that the young
ster was very intelligent, but the judge
was doubtful whether his evidence was
admissible under the statute.
This morning the lawyers spent the
time in quoting authorities against one
another. The defendants attorneys
! tried to show that the boy must have
an understanding of the need for truth
! fulness based upon religious training of
some duration and that he must feel in
his own conscience that to lie was
wrong.
The Hawaiian statute provides that a
minors evidence may be taken, mot
! withstanding he may be destitute of the
knowledge of God, and of any belief in
I religion or in a future state of rewards
and punishment" He must make a
| declaration that he will tell the truth
/ the whole truth and nothing but the
| truth, and must be cautioned by the
court that he will be punished if he
does not do so and it must be proved to
| the satisfaction of the court that he
| perfectly understands" what it means
! to tell the truth, and what his testi-
mony is being taken for
Judge Gear said this morning that he
was satisfied that the boy had intelli-
| the common law rule his testimony
! would be allowed in any court, but he
was doubtful under the Hawaiian sta.
tute. Our statute goes further than
any other statute l have ever seen,
said Judge Gear.
Judges Little and Dustin sat on the
bench much of the time as guests of
Judge Gear, and he appeared to be dis
cussing the problem with them. After
a morning of argument Judge Gear ad-
journed until 1870. reserving his deci-
sion.
In the course of the discussion, the
question of testimony by an ATHEIST was
brought up. The judge wanted to know
what would be the contention in the
case of an ATHEIST. who certainly could
not swear in the ordinary way, by God
The lawyers had never had any cases
of the kind here, and didn't know of
anything in Hawaiian statutes on the
! subject.

CHILD ILL-TREATED.
The Mother in the Hospital Undergoing
An Operation.

A little Japanese child about year
old, was reported yesterday as being
cruelty treated by Japanese family
with whom it had been left in Kewalo
Rev. T. Okumura, pastor of the Jap
anese Congregational church made an
investigation and took the child TO
where it could receive proper atten-
ton.
The childs mother was taken to the
hospital some days ago to undergo a
serious operation. Her husband ac-
companied her to take care of her,
leaving the child in the care of a
neighboring family. Hawaiians who
lived in the same building say that the
child was neglected, badly treated, anc
not sufficiently fed. They demonstrated
with those having charge of 1T, but got
only replies which they thought evincec
| heartlessness. Finally they reported
the matter and it was brought to the
| attention of Rev. Okumura who inveS-
tigated. Yesterday afternoon in com
pany with the father, he took the chile
to where it will receive proper care.

INCORR|GBLES CAPTURED AFTER SABSAGDISEAG.
DIR. SHOREY DIGS UP A NEW
DANGER.
A Deadly German Product That Pro-
duced Great Discomfort in Judge
Wilcoxs Court.

DR.. Shorey, food commissioner, is on
the lookout for Sausage-disease. There
were 41O cases of Sausage disease in
Germany last year and the doctor says
he has found sausage in Honolulu that
ought to cause it. In his laboratory in
the Board of Health building he has a
piece of the kind of sausage referred to.
1t is kept carefully bottled up and
everybody runs when Shorey uncorks
it.
Sausage disease is a very fatal
malady," said Dr. Shorey. "Out of 41O
cases reported in a year in Germany,
165 were fatal. The disease is now
well-known in that country and it is
caused by just such sausage as this. 1t
is no use waiting until we have deaths
here before beginning to take action"
The sausage that was seized by
Shorey was made in Germany. The
doctor found a case of it in the store of
one Tom Chong Tai. 1t is heavy bologna
in tinfoil. A section of it looks like
bad Hamburger steak and smells worse
than the most powerful Limburger
cheese. Shorey seized the whole case
and took a small piece to put in an air
tight bottle in his office. The case went
to Judge Wilcox's court, to be used as
evidence.
II don't know how the court stood it, -
said Shorey this morning after releas-
ing his own imprisoned section of sau-
sage for a moment and then bottling ii
up again.
The Judge stood it all right however
and kept his usual good humor. II
used to think it was maggots when
saw something wriggling in sausage, -
remarked the court, eyeing the big
thick rounds that were in evidence,
but now L am inclined to regard it as
the tail of the dog"
Judge Wilcox only lost his equanimity
once. 1t was when Attorney q. M
Long, for the defense attempted to hold
a piece close to the judicial nostrils.
This sausage is all right" said the
| lawyer, holding it close to Judge Will
| eox's face.
Judge Wilcox, nearly jumped off his
| bench. Get out, take it away" ne
| shouted. Later in the day he gave Mr.
Long very sereve roast on account OF
| a remark he made rejecting on the
| court. Long began lengthy speech
| but the court adjourned at five O'Clock
| and put the case over. 1t was the smell
| say those who ought to know.
Tong Chung Tai was fined S25 and
COSTS this morning by Judge Wilcox fol
| having sold diseased sausage to DIR
| Shorey. Judge Wilcox said that he
himself, was not in the habit OF using
| German goods so we was not therefore
able to distinguish whether the peculiar
odors which arose from that class OF
goods belonged to them or else were
acquired. The court regretted his in
ability to fix a less fine but as $25 wa'
| the smallest amount named by the
statutes he was forced to levy thai
sum. Attorney Long asked that tht
sentence be suspended but Mr.. Chilling
worth would not agree to this, so notice
of an appeal was given.

ING SUNG SUES COOPER
WANTS HIS NATURALIZATION
PAPERS.
The Chinese Whom The Secretary
Charged With False PRESERVATION
Commences an Action.

Ung Sung has begun an action
against Secretary of the Territory
Henry e. Cooper, to secure the return
of his naturalization papers, which he
claims Cooper refuses to give up. Ung
is the man whom Cooper recently had
arrested for impersonating one Yee Wo.
The papers Ung is after are his pa
pers as a citizen of the Republic of
Hawaii. When the internal revenue
bureau began to register Chinese Coop
er informed them that they could get
certified copies of their naturalization
papers, for use before the collector of
Internal Revenue. Ung Sung went af-
ter his papers and was arrested as be-
ing not Ung Sung at all but Yee Wo.
Now he says Cooper refuses to give him
the papers showing that he is Ung
Sung.
The trouble arose, it is stated, by rea-
son of Ung Sung having two names. lie
cl inns that his real name is Ung Sung
but admits that he does business under
the name of Yee Wo, and is generally
called Yee WO. 1t was the latter fact
that caused Cooper to decide that he
was Yee Wo and was fraudulently try
ing to get Ung Sung's papers. He claims
to have registered as Ung Sung, and to
be entitled to the papers made out in
the name of Ung Sung.
The action is brought in replevin, the
court being asked to order Cooper to
surrender the papers. Andrews, Peters
and Andrade represent the plaintiff.

CHARGED WITH MURDER
THE POLICE MAKE CHANGE IN
PROSECUTION.
First Arrested Osaki Mankichi on
Charge Accessory to Murder and Now
Make it Murder First Degree.

Osaki Mankichi charged with having
years ago was arraigned before Judge
Wilcox this morning to answer to the
charge of murder in the first degree.
f. Nj. Brooks the consul of the Jap
anese was not present in court High
Sheriff Brown stated that the prosecu-
tion desired the case to go oven for one
week in order that it could be taken
before the grand jury.
The intention is not to take the de-
fendant before the district magistrate
but to hold the Japanese to await the
disposition of his case by the grand
jury. The continuance was granted.
The prosecution has made something
of change in it's charge against Osaki.
He was discharged by Judge Estee yes
terday on habeas corpus proceedings
but in anticipation of this the high
charging Osaki with being an accessory
to the crime, to be sworn out so when
the Japanese left the court room he
was placed under arrest.
1t was at first supposed that the
charge on which Osaki would be ar
raigned this morning would be that OF
an accessory but evidently acting upon
the suggestion of Judge Estee that as
the man had never beer properly tried
he was therefore never in jeopardy, the
police decided that they would change
the charge to the more serious one OF
murder.

HAMAKUA GETS RAIN
OVER QUARTER OF INCH FELL
WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
Rained Practically All Night at Homo
kaa-General Throughout the Drought
Infected District.

The drought along the Hamakua
coast has been broken at last, accord
ing to the latest reports from Hawaii.
Both the Mauna Loa and Maui arrived
this morning, the former from the west
ern coast and the latter from the Ha-
maSua district with news of the rain.
Rain fell Wednesday night. 1t was
quite a copious downpour. About .26
of an inch fell. Purser Simerson of the
Mauna Loa telephoned to Honokaa from
Kailua yesterday morning and was
told that the rain had fallen there
throughout the greater part of the night
previous, over a quarter of an inch be-
ing reported. The central telephone
Office also informed Mr. Simerson that
the rainfall had been more or less gen.
eral throughout the district.
The Maui came from Paahau and Ku-
kaiau. The rain fell at both of these
places on Wednesday. AT Paahau the
rain lasted an hour and a half falling
steadily during all of that time. IT
was understood to have been general
however throughout the district.
While this rainfall was welcome it
will have but little effect on the drought
infected place, as nothing short of a
good many inches of steady dOwnpoul
will benefit the country.
Yesterday the plantation people al
Kukuiau started to sink an artesiaf
well. 1t is proposed to put the well
down 300 feet as it is thought water car
be struck at that depth.
The report that about $4,000 acres of
cane along the Hamakua coast has been
ruined by the present drought is said
by Brewer and Company and T. H.
Davies & Co., agents for the Ookala
Mill Co. and Hamakua Mill Co. and
Kukaiau Mill Co., respectively, to be
exaggerated. AS a matter of fact, o.
kala has not suffered so much as have
the others. Honokaa appearing to be
about the worst affected by the lack of
rain. All of the plantations in that
district must suffer more or less from
the drought but at the present time
the loss will not be so great as has re-
Gently been reported.

CLAIMS ARE FRAUDULENT.
NATIVES PRESENT CLAIMS FOR
BURIED GOODS.
Claimant Exposes Fraud-Many Valu-
ables Saved by Burying in Shallow
Cellars.

A sensation was sprung in the Fire
Claims Commission this morning when
the casual remark of witness led to
the discovery that a number of native
claimants had carefully buried their
goods and chattels in anticipation of
the Board of Health's action in burn
ing down their houses and had after
wards recovered these goods. making
claims for them nevertheless as if they
had been destroyed in the fire.
The witness an Hawaiian named
Alexander Smith, disclosed under Wig
orous cross-examination the names of
certain claimants who had put in such
fraudulent claims. Smith himself, act
ing in all honesty mentioned the fact
that he had buried certain of his FOODS
in hole twelve feet long four and a
half feet wide and from five to six feet
deep thus saving them from the fire.
The witness was himself claimant for
other goods that had been destroyed
but had not included in his individual
claim the goods that he had buried
albeit they had rotted and been con-
siderably damaged by water. The hole
had been covered with boards. then
dirt then corrugated iron, then boards
and then more dirt.
During his testimony the commission
ers got on the trail of a certain Mrs
Lahapa Mauliawa who had buried her
goods and afterward brought in frau
dulent claim for them. Smiths attor-
ney, Representative j. K. Paele object
ed strenuously to the testimony being
given and intimated that the court
had overstepped it's authority, state
ment which called down upon him the
wrath of Commissioner TeSta VINO In
formed Paele that the commissioners
were the judges and that they intended
to follow up the trail they had discoV-
cred. Chairman Macfarlane also scor-
ed Paele stating that they were there
| to help the Hawaiians and redeem tnen
from the stigma of suspicion of such
| fraudulent practice. TINS man Alex
ander Smith," said Mr.. Macfarlane, is
an Hawaiian and honest one but La
Ihapa is not an Hawaiian"
| 1t was brought out that Lahapa mac
spoken to Smith at the Fish Market
] about the foods that he had buried anc
that Lahapa had had a hole dug fol
the burying of foods which she after
wards claimed to have been burned
The commission has several names o
those who resorted to this scheme ant
there will probably be some interesting
times in store for those VINO resofte'
| to fraud in the matter.

who will be asked by the attorneys for
the prisoner to investigate the conduct
of the Attorney General in issuing u
new warrant and to make some kind OF
an order that will prevent the prosecu-
ton from defeating the orders Of the
courts as made.
The time has arrived" said George
A. Davis in Gears court this morning,
when discharges on writs of habeas
corpus by this court or the United
States District court must be respect
ed. l propose to ask for a writ on
this warrant, which is on its face
worthless and under the circumstances
to ask this court to investigate the in
tentions of those who issued the var
rant. / have reason to believe that
there is no intention to prosecute under
this warrant 1t is only issued for the
purpose of defeating the processes OF
this court and the United States court.
This thing of having officers lurking
around the courts with warrants when
writs are issued will have to stop. II
had known yesterday that the Off
GERS were doing so ] should have called
the attention of Judge Estee to the
matter and he would have had them up
for contempt The territorial officers
must and will obey the orders of the
courts"
There is nothing before the court"
said Gear, when he found that Davis
was not ready with his application for
the writ
There soon will be-" muttered Davis
with an aggressive lunge at some legal
paper and a vigorous attack upon a
pen and ink.
Sufficient unto the day is the evil
thereof quoted Douthitt, who had
come to argue another legal puzzle.
THE evil will come quick enough"
the habeas corpus lawyer replied and
then he subsidized and began writing out
his application for a new writ.

missary scandals have frightened every
