JAPANESE ON TRIAL FOR
MURDER-woRK OF
TERM.

Waikiki. Dec. 16.-The term of tho
Second Circuit Court at Lahaina will
probably last until the end of the
week. The criminal calendar has
hardly been touched. All last week
the cases tried were those indicted
by the Grand Jury.
Dan Nahaku and his adopted son
were acquitted of the charge of lar.
ceny second degree, charged with
stealing a helfer belonging to the Ia
wares brothers OF Makawao. Wilikina
plead guilty to larceny In second de.
gree for the theft of giant powder be.
longing to the Hamakuapoko store.
Deputy Attorney General Case agreed
to defendant entering such plea. The
original charge was burglary first de.
gree. Pilipili, who was Wilikina's &C.
complete in burglarizing the store in
order to get cases of giant powder, was
already found guilty and sentenced to
two years imprisonment by Judge
Gear. OF the thlrty-seven civil causes
on the calendar, three were already
stricken from the calendar by order OF
the Judge. and twenty-three continued
until next term of court.
On December 18th Judge Kalua rem.
dered decision In favor of plaintiff In
case OF Jas. N. X. Keola. Deputy As
SCISSOR and Collector OF Taxes for Wal
luku, VS.. Solomon Hale for non-pay'
ment of taxes. J. l.. Coke for plaintiff
and c. Creighton for defendant. The
defendant admitted owing taxes to
something like 5000 for over six years
but still did not like to pay. Five
Maui attorneys have already given him
up, because he would not take their
advice to pay his taxes. but this man
being a dyed-in-the.wool royalist and
Home Ruler who believes that Home
Rulers are by Providence exempted
from paying taxes, fights his case, CON
trary to the advice OF attorneys and
friends. This Solomon Hale has been
before the civil courts fighting on what
he deems a principle, more than any
Hawaiian on Maui. One OF the reasons
advanced by Solomon for his inability
to pay his taxes was the fact that over
three thousand dollars Of his hard
earned cash we're burned at Honolulu
during the bubonic fire. The money
he claimed was left In charge Of his
sister at Honolulu. Why he did moi
bring his claim before the Fire
Claims Commission he Is at loDs &c
explain. Solomon Hale will take his
case to the Supreme Court on eXcep
lions.

tation issued by Judge Kalua. Th'
matter has not come before court.
