HARBOR CASE
ESTEE BEGINS THE SECOND
TRIAL.
Jurors Will Visit The Land to be Con
White and Pratt Testify.

The second Pearl Harbor suit began
this morning in the United States Dis
trict court, before Judge Estee and a
jury. 1t was the suit of the United
States against the Honolulu Plantation
Company.
When the case was called, the first
question that came up was as to taking
the jury to see the land. Manager Low
of the plantation informed the judge,
in answer to a question, that the road
to the land was impossible now. 1t
was finally agreed, after some discus
sion that the jury should go to Pearl
Harbor next Monday, unless there are
more heavy rains before that time.
Captain U. S. G.. White, civil engineer
in the navy, was the first witness, as in
the case against the Bishop estate, and
the case started very much as did thai
case. White told of his "a years eX-
perience in his business and then en-
tered into a description of the land il
dispute.
Tax Collector Pratt was the next wit
ness. He had some tax starements
which the United States attorney want
ed to introduce in evidence. Judge

Vessels Arrive.

Evidence of what may prove to be a
wreck, We're encountered by the
schooner Alice Kimball, last Friday off
the northeast point of Molokai. Two
sets of heavy square timbers about 60
to 20 feet i'm length, were seen floating
in that vicinity. Both of the sets look
ed as If they might have been parts Of
the deck load Of a lumber schooner. as
they We're lashed together. In fact,
they might also have formed "A raft for
there We're fiat boards lashed across
the tops of the heavy timbers. To one
OF the crew of the Alice Kimball, the
heavy pieces looked as If some of them
might have been spars
The officers Of the schooner were un-
able to distinguish the character of the
lashings There We're no evidences Of
the raft If such was its character, ever
having been occupied by any party in
distress. 1t was thought that the lum-
ber was part of deck load which had
been washed overheard but none Of the
incoming vessels report having lost any
deck loads and unless such report is
made, there is excellent reason for ap-
pretending another marine disaster.
The bark Klikitat which arrived
Tuesday from Port Ludlow had terri
bic weather. Her captain says that
when off MolOkai his cabin was flooded
twice. The weather was bad through
out the entire voyage. No sails or any
thing were lost.
The schooner Honoipu. 25 days from
Port Ludlow, arrived i'm port today
after a much quicker passage than her
predecessors. She struck fair weather
and good winds during most of the
trip.
The ship George Curtis arrived this
morning from san Francisco, 16 days
out. This is a very quick passage

were originally intended, but i'm clear

machines of a similar nature have
been made by different plantations al
though Mr.. Kicker was the first to
practically apply the idea.
The new machines, three in number,
to be used at Spreckelsvile and the
neighbOrhOod have been made at Gin

ventor who has added several improve

Considerable interest was manifested
I'm Eastern circles with a general desire
to know the outcome Of the invention,
although as they We're especially made
to meet the requirements of HaWaii's
big crops, where much of the cane lies
on the ground, they will have to be
considerably modified before the LOui-

ROBINSON ON FIRST CIRCUIT
BENCH.
Caypless, Fight a Losing One-The
wyoming Candidate Wins United
State Attorneyship.

WASHINGTON, December lit is
announced that the President will ap-
point w. J. Robinson of Hawaii to be
the third Judge of the Circuit Court of
Hawaii, and Robert j. Breckons of
Wyoming to be United States Attorney
for the district of Hawaii.
OAKLAND, December Nv. j. Rob-
inson was formerly a resident of this
city After the annexation of the Ha-
Vaiian islands he was named as the
private secretary of NJ. NJ. Estee, who
had been appointed United States Judge
in the islands. Later he was made
Court Commissioner and now comes his
appointment to the bench. Robinson
was a law student under Judge Estee
and later was associated in this city in
practice with the late ]. G. Martin.
The appointment of Robinson came as
a surprise to many of the friends of
Edgar Caypless. They had thought that
he was sure winner and last Saturday
the Home Rule Republican announced
his forthcoming appointment as though
it were a settled thing.
The work of the California Congress
sOnal delegation was the cause of
Robinson's success. He did not enter
the field until about the last, and when
it appeared that Caypless was a win
ner. Then Congressman Victor S. Met
calf of Alameda county, where Robin
son resided before he came here took
hold of the fight, and the result was a
solid line up of California's seven Con-
gressmen and two Senators i'll favor of
Robinson From Oakland and Homo
lulu as well, many of the known mem-
bCrs of the bench and bar joined in APP
proval Of the successful candidate.
There will he another vacant judgeship
in the first circuit if Judge Humphreys
should resign, which it is generally eX-
pected that he will do before long.
Robinson's appointment is as third
judge of the first circuit, making three
judges for that circuit nOw-Humph-
reys, Gear and Robinson. Caypless OF
some of the other candidates may come
in for an appointment when Humph-
reys leaves.
In the case of the position of United
States attorney it is generally thought
that Breckens won on the ground that
the place was bit of patronage belong
ing to the state of Wyoming. A Wyom-
ing was named in the first place, the
late United States Attorney Baird haV-
ing been from that state, and when his
death occurred, a Wyoming candidate
at once came to the front.
Robinson will resign as United States
Commissioner as soon as he receives
Athe oath of office before Chief Justice
Frear and will ready to take the
Nbench at once. With three judges il
the first circuit, the calendar so LONG
oVercrowded will probably be cleared
away, and the court will be able tC
handle its business as it comes.
