SAILORS AFTER CAPTAIN BAKER
AND OFFICERS.
Witnesses Disagree Before Commits
sioner Robinson and are Roasted by
Their Pals for Spelling the Case.

With two Union runners among them,
about thirty sailors, witnesses and de-
PENDANTS, crowded into United States
Judge Estee's court this morning The
three charges of alleged cruelty on the
ship Emily Reed and the trials of four
men who are charged with deserting
the G. d. Bryant were to come up be-
fore United States Commissioner Rob-
inson. The trial of Captain Baker of
the Emily Reed was begun. Two wit
nesses were examined, and after the
adjournment they came in for much
roasting in lobby seamen's caucus be-
cause they did not agree.
John Kemp, the men who is alleged
to have been struck, was the first wit
ness. He shipped at Sydney and on
arriving on the vessel just before leav-
ing was sent below, as too drunk to
work. He went below, and declares
that short time after Captain Baker
came and struck him in the face as he
lay in his bunk, calling him a vile name
Under cross examination by Attorney
Fitch, Kemp described some fine
shades of drunkenness. There was
only two of us probably too drunk to
work" said Kemp. Me and Holmes.

the floor when l got the blow.

continued in answer to question, "at
least none as 1 could see. 1 wuz lookin'

Holmes was called next. He proved
to be a Sewede and there was some
difficulty in finding out what he said.
II seen he stroke him" said Holmes,
when asked what the captain did to
Kemp. 1T vos daylight. 1 vos sating
on the floor my back against the volE
and seen when the captain stroke him
with his faist."
Holmes said it was daylight, so that
he had had no difficulty in seeing the
blow. Kemp had testified that he reg
onized the captain by a lighted lantern
which he carried as he entered the
foksle
Commissioner Robinson adjourned
till 4 this afternoon, when the taking
of testimony will be continued. In the
lobby the sailors who had heard the
testimony, and the two Union runners
held conclave, and deep was the disgust
expressed at the contradiction in testi-
mony. Some very uncomplimentary
opinions were expressed of men 'whC
couldn't remember daylight from dark
and both Kemp and Holmes wore looks
of deep dependency.
The testimony in the case of the mate
of the Emily Reed was finished, but the
case will be argued with those of the
captain and second mate. Captain
Baker testified that the scar on the
face of the complaining witness. which
was pointed to as evidence of blows
from the mate. were to be seen wher
the man shipped in Sydney.
All the crew of the Emily Reed seen
to be in a gang, fast on the trail OF
the three officers, and they may be seer
about town discussing the cases witt
Union runners.

PLAY KINAU. MAUNA LOA, HALL
AND CLAUDINE.
Acting Governor Cooper ana Captain
sideration-Band Played Kinau of.

A movement is on foot to have the
government banu regularly play at the
departure of some OF the prominent
islands steamers. The matter is now
under discussion by Acting Governor
Cooper and Captain Berger the leader
reached.
The plan as suggested is to have the
band play at four of the island boats
two of the Wilder company and two
of the Inter-Island company. OF the
Wilder boats the Kinau at noon and
the Claudine at o'clock Tuesdays are
to be played off Those of the Inter-
Island fleet are the Mauna Loa and the
w G. Hall. These vessels with the ex-
ception of the Hall run to Hawaii and
Maui while the Hall is on the Kauai
run.
There is one difficulty however about
the proposed plan as the band Will be
under the necessity, if the present sche-
dule is maintained by both companies,
of being in two places at the same time.
The Mauna Loa leaves on Tuesdays at
noon the same time as the Kinau while
the Hall leaves on Tuesdays at D. m
the same hour that the Claudine de-
parts. Inasmuch as the two wharves
are in close proximity the band might
divide its time between the two places.
If the band is ordered to play off the
island boats 1T will be done as
special compliment to the natives. Act
ing Governor Cooper and Captain Ber-
ger appreciate the Hawaiian love for
music and while it is desired to ac-
cede to the wishes of the public as far
as possible it is question of time
with the band. Captain Berger has his
regular engagement playing off the va
rious ocean vessels and the San Fran
cisco boats so it may not be possible for
the band to play the regular concerts
and meet other calls on it's services If
the island boats are added as a regular
part of the routine.
The rumor was current on the water
front today that the band has been or
dered to play off the island boats but
this arose probably from the presence
of the band at the departure of the XII
nau at noon. Captain Berger and his
band simply gave the Kinau a little
aloha on account of the elegant treat
ment which was accorded them on that
vessel when they went over to Hilo for
July 4th. There was big crowd at the
Kinau today.

RATRBURN HAS RESIGNED
RETIRED TODAY AS DISTRICT
MAGISTRATE.
Also Forfeits Bail in Judge WilcoX's
Court on Charge of Adultery-Dr
Carter Drops Prosecution.

There is a vacant judgeship at Koo-
lauloa. Judge w. H. Rathburn tender
ed his resignation this morning. The
retirement of Mr.. Rathburn from judi
cial cares is said by the authorities to
be the result of his recent arrest on the
charge of adultery.
DIR. A. b. Carter caused the arrest of
the former magistrate on such a charge.
it being claimed by DIR. Carter that
Rathburn had induced Mrs. Carter to
leave her happy home with him. When
the case was called a continuance until
today was secured. This morning when
the name of Rathburn was called he
did not appear so Judge Wilcox ordered
the bail, amounting to $50, forfeited.
This will end the case. DR.. Carter
has effected a reconciliation with his
wife and he informed High Sheriff
Brown that he desired to let the thing
drop This ends the matter so far as
the authorities are concerned Judge
Wilcox was probably pleased over es-
Gaping the painful embarrassment of
trying a fellow district magistrate on
distressing charge.

DO NOT WANT TO PAY OFF IN
OPEN ROADWAY.
Think 1t is Unfair to be Forced to
Leave Their Ship Unnamed When
Outside Harbor.

There is considerable discussion
among the captains in port over the
ruling of Shipping Commissioner Boyd
requiring the crew of the o. j. Olsen
to be paid off when the schooner has
been lying anchored in an open road
way.
1t is claimed ly- the masters that
such a ruling is entirely wrong for it
means that when the crew is once paid
Off the men will leave the vessel. The
result will be that anchored as a vessel
is in comparative proximity to the reef,
she is liable to be piled up on the reef
in rough weather and lost. A vessel
ought not, they declare, to be left un-
manned by a proper number of sailors
to manage her in case of bad weather
In paying off the men as required, it re-
suits in discharging the crew and leav-
ing the vessel without an adequate
force to man her.
The captains seem to think that a
vessel lying in an open roadway is
exempt and she should be allowed to
keep her crew aboard until she reaches
her port of destination, which in the
case of the Olsen is Eleele.
On the other hand Mr.. Boyd says the
fact that the vessel is anchored in the
roadway makes no difference provided
She is within his jurisdiction. His ter
ritory extends three nautical miles anC
as the Olsen was anchored only short
distance from the entrance to the har-
Dor she was clearly within the jurisdic-
tlon of this American port.
Whether the men should be paid off
however rests in the character of their
shipping papers. If a sailor ships to
IAN American port" no place being spe-
Gifted he has the right to demand his
discharge at the first American port he
reaches. The articles must of course
be accompanied by the proper consular
certificates which the Treasury depart
ment recently decided should be affix-
ed.
On the other hand if the articles spe-
city any particular port the sailor is
supposed to wait until that place is
reached before he can demand his dis
charge.
Mr.. Boyd said that if the present rul-
ing was not to the interest of the cap
tains they should pay off their crew
and take others on so as to man the
vessel and continue her trip.

CHARGES FOR THE USE OF THE
SEWERS.
Boyd Getting Revenue for the Govern
ment in Spite of a Laws Failure.
Cannot Enforce Payments.

Among the bills which the Home Hul-
ers want to pass as revenue measures
is one providing for charges for use OF
sewers. Though no such law now ex-
lists, for the present year the Depart
ment of Public Works has made the
charge on it's own hook, acting under
it's general authority to control public
works.
During the late session of the legis-
lature a bill was drawn up providing
for charging for sewers, like the sched-
ule which has since been issued. The
act was framed like the local water
rate law. 1t did not materialize in the
Legislature, however.
superintendent Boyd was nothing
daunted by the failure of the bill to
pass. He took the bull by the horns
and concluded to make the charges
anyhow, act or no act. The Public
Works Department is given general
control of such public improvements as
the sewer system, and a rule was made
that those who used sewers must pay
for them.
All who have made connections so
far have put up the rent money, as il
is asked in advance, and no one is al
lowed to connect without paying. But
the Department is up against it when
it comes to the matter of collecting for
next year. 1t may render bills, but
no one can be compelled to pay them.
AS long as there is no act authorizing
collection of money for use of sewers
the Department cannot enforce collec-
tion, except in the way it is doing now.
for the first year, by refusing to make
connection until the money is paid. In
this way a good deal of revenue will be
secured.
Kicks are heard against the collee-
ton of the rent, however, and some
applicants may resist being made to
pay rent. 1t is a case of the territorial
government taking all it can get be-
cause it needs it,

OFFICE OF THIRD JUDGE.
Supreme Court Arranging Quarters for
New Man.

Justices of the Supreme court are just
now discussing the matter of where
they will put Edgar Caypless, the new
third judge of the First Circuit Every
niche and corner of the court house is
now occupied. 1t has about been de-
cided to give the new judge the office
of stenographers for his chambers but
the question then comes up, what is to
be done with the stenographers? The
matter will have to be decided in the
next few days.
1t is settled that there will be only
two court rooms. In term time two
Judges will have the juries and the
third will hear chamber matters. This
will obviate the necessity of a third
court room.
Mr.. Caypless expects is commission
by the next steamer.
