POLICE JUDGE SUIT.
Hearing in Injunction Suit Is
Postponed.

The hearing of the Injunction case
brought by c. A Magaw against Frank
Lindsay to prevent the latter from act
ing as police judge will be heard in the
district court Friday morning. It was
postponed at the request of Lindsay
One peculiar thing about the case viii
be that Lindsay who has been a close
attendant upon all the hearings Of the
mayoralty cases and who has been one
of Col. Hughes attorneys and advisors,
viii have to turn squarely around and
he and his attorneys will have to Ere
verse" themselves. The arguments the
Hughes attorneys made relative to the
injunction brought by the attorneys for
Parker win be just the arguments that
Magaw's attorneys can submit to the
court. Magaw is now the defacto judge
of the police court. The Hughes attor-
neys, and Lindsay with them, have al
ways maintained that the only way to
proceed against a defacto officer is by
quo warranto. Therefore Magaw and
his attorneys will ask Lindsay to take
the quo warrantO prescription which he
has so long commended is correct. While
he is doing so Magaw would be Judge

STARVED OUT.
Porto Ricans Unable to Work
When They Reach Hawaii.

Honolulu. May Is. via San Francisco.
May 28.-Inspection of the Porto Rican
immigrants brought here by the steam
er Colon shows that they are in such
state from the need of food on their voy-
age that they must be held at the quar-
antine station and fed until they regain
strength sufficient to enable them to
bear the journey to the other islands
and to the plantations on which they
will work
A joint committee of the legislature
yesterday paid a visit to quarantine is
land to inspect the immigrants. The trip
Of the Legislators resulted in disagree
ment as to the condition of the immi-
Hawaii. The three senators who were on
the committee have made a unanimous
report to the effect that the Porto Ri
cans are all right but it is understood
that John Emmeluth of the house com
mittee will present a. report severely de-
nouncing the planters for bringing the
Porto Ricans here and on account of al
legged Ill treatment of them when they
arrived.
Over half the immigrants on the Colon
were women and children and a consid-
cradle number of the men infrm while
all were more or less emaciated. This
is attributed to lack of food in their old
homes. Some of those who came will
never be able to work and it is said the
planters will secure q representative to
act for them in Porto Rico and see that
no more such immigrants are sent here
at their expense.
Objection is made here to the bringing
in of so many children, who will have to
be educated at the expense of the ter
who are said to be unlikely to ever be-
come healthy and strong
