Serious cases of tumor have been cured

manently, in the Boothby Hospital I'M

DR.. SOuthwick said it was too soon
to say with scientific certainty that all
the cases which had yielded to treat

new cure was successful in all cases
where the rays could exert their full

AGNEW AND WEEKDAY
COME TO TERMS

AS soon as Jack Weekdays challenge
to box Lon Agnew ten rounds for the
middle-weight championship of the Isl
ands appeared in Wednesdays Adver-
tiser, the latter lost no time in declar-
ing his willingness to meet Weeday,
under certain conditions.
Agnew argued that he was only a
welterweight and as such did not
think that II would be fair to himself
to meet Weeday at the welterweight
limit of 1853 pounds. He declared his
perfect Willingness to box Weeday but
drew the weight line at 1856 pounds.
Yesterday Weeday was informed of
Agnew's decision in the matter, and
he at once said that he would waive
the extra three pounds and meet Az
new at the weight stipulated.
All that the men have now to do is
to sign articles and get into training.
and then local lovers of good boxing
should be treated to as fine an exhibit
ton OF the manly art as has occurred
here for many long day.
Weeday said last night that he would
be agreeable to box for the proceeds of
the house and side bet. or rs per cent
OF the house to go to the winner and
20 per cent to the loser.

WAITING, UPON
SURGEONS REPORT

William Haywood, counsel for the
Chamber of Commerce at Washington,
has forwarded to that body copies of
the bill which has been introduced into
the lower house by Delegate Wilcox,
providing for the payment of the Fire
Claims losses according to the judg-
ments of the court, with information
concerning its status.
The bill was published in full in the
Advertiser yesterday morning. 1t pro-
vides for the appropriation, out OF any
money in the Treasury not otherwise
appropriated. AS soon as the bill had
reached the committee on claims, OF
which Congressman ]. V. Graft Of Ili-
nos is the chairman, it was ordered
printed, and copies of IT were forward
ed to Surgeon General Wyman, with a
request for a report by that official upon
the accomplishments of the Board OF
Health in stamping out the plague here.
and to what extent the service was Of
benefit to the Mainland.
On previous occasions Dr. Wymen
has shown that he is a friend OF the
Islands, and those who know of the
position which is now occupied by the
bill believe that the report will be fav-
orable. There is expected to be q de-
mand for report from the local quar-
antine officers, upon the work during
the plague here.

HOME RULERS MAY CAPTURE
REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES

IF there is anything in outside talk
the Home Rule party will be most
active for the next two months in
reorganizing itself. There is. great
deal OF discussion of the prospects of
the party and the need for reforming
the ranks, but according to information
from one OF the insiders there has been
nothing definite done so far.
or the many plans which have been
discussed openly among some of the
leaders of the Home Rule party, one
which is meeting with favor just now is
that of capturing the regular Repub-
ilcan primaries, when they are held,
probably in June. At least one of the
Home Rule members of the Legislature
has announced, according to common
report, that he will come out for nom
lnation at the regular Republican pri-
maries, and Will ask all OF his friends
in the Home Rule party to attend the
primaries and vote for him.
1t is understood that the plan will
be worked on the ground that as the
Home Rule party has added the word
Republican to its title, therefore there
could be no perjury in making the af-
firmatlOn that the would-be voter had
cast his ballot for the Republican"

MRS. MACPHERSON
DIES SUDDENLY

Mrs. Mary Savage Porter MasPhsr-
son died yesterday afternoon at the
private hospital OF DR.. Herbert on Ala
kea street. of acute nephritis. Mrs.
Macpherson arrived in the Sierra on
Wednesday, and was removed to the
hospital at once. She was delirious
much OF the time, and her death was
not unexpected.
Mrs. Macpherson was the only daugh-
ter of Samuel and Sarah Savage. She
was married in 1885 to Theodore c. Por-
ter who was a Minister of Finance I'M
der the provisional government. He was
before that time in the Spreckels bank
and acted as well as the auditor OF w.
G. Irwin & CO.. and of their many SUI
gar plantations. He went into the
government as the representative OF
those interests and resigned shortly,
owing to differences which caused a
division among several supporters of
The government The strain OF the
work during the strenuous days OF 1899
was too great for Mr.. Porter and he
went to the coast and was under treat
ment at a LivCrmore sanitarium, when

under a passing train and was killed
Mr.. Porter was for many years mem
her of Hawaiian Lodge.
A few years ago Mrs. Macpherson
was again married. She had spent a
year and a half in Oakland before her
return, which resulted in the attack
which ended her life. She was not In
the best of health before she left
San Francisco. but the illness which
proved fatal developed on the voyage.
Mrs. Macpherson is survived by her
husband and a daughter, Mary Alice

JUDGE MAKES A
WELCOME CHANGE

High Sheriff Brown will impanel the
jury for Judge Robinson's court for the
next term, which opens May 5th. Judge
Robinson is to preside at the May term,
but under the new rules of court, each
Judge will draw his own jurymen. II
has not been decided as yet whether
OF not grand jury will be called, but
In any event its session will be brief
'The Legislature should enact a ,law
providing for the summoning of jur-
ors by lot" said Judge Robinson yes
terday. 1.-THE old law has been declared
invalid by the Supreme Court, and
would be impracticable now in any
event. The old statute provided that
there should be both a Hawaiian and
foreign jury. while the Organic Act
says that all court proceedings must be
IN the English language, which of
course precludes the possibility of ma
tive Hawaiians serving. unless they
have also the other qualification.
Formerly fifty names of Hawaiians
and fifty of foreigners were prepared by
the sheriff and the judge, acting in con-
cert, and written on slips of paper
From these fifty names twenty-four
we're drawn by lot by the clerk of the
court, twenty days before the opening
or the term. In the absence of a spe-
cific statute the courts must now resort
to the common law method until a new
statute can be enacted by the Legisla-
ture. The common law provides that
the sheriff shall draw the jurors from
the body of the county, and while we
have no such subdivision here, the cir
cult takes its place. THE BAILIFF
LAW GIVES THE BAILIFF ALL THE
POWERS OF A SHERIFF. BUT BE-
LIEVE THAT THE SHERIFF
SHOULD CONTINUE TO EXERCISE
THIS AUTHORITY AS IN THE PAST,
FOR IN THAT CASE THERE CAN
BE NO QUESTION AS TO THE ACTS
OF THE COURT.
There Is some difficulty here in
framing law which will do away with
the present method of drawing jurors,
and make such choice solely by lot, as
is done in other places. but still the
aeed OF such law is urgent, and one
should be adopted. AS it is now, Jury
service becomes burdensome on some
members of the community, as it is

Court here.
Until Hawaii gets n jury law, the

DAN FRANCISCO. Apr. b.-The dead

~ crn California to n tremendous
pitch of excitement In the past few
days. The mongoose was once welcome
In this state. but now he IL stunned as
r bitter enemy. and Is threatened with
death at sight. The example Of Ha-
wall has warned California that mon
geese are not good citizens. and that
their presence does not accrue to the
interests OF any community.
Some weeks ago a surgeon In the
United States Army sought to bring
mongoose from the Philippines into San
Francisco, but the entrance of the
"critter" was barred by Uncle Sam, and

against him at the Custom-house

memento OF the cruelty ~ the United

1t was not suspected chat Southern
California had mongoose in 1t until
one was found at the Chutes in Los
Angeles. The Chutes Is a place OF
amusement where those who like that
sort of thing descend from a gddy
height In a boat which runs on wheels
into lake, which is almost dry, but
which affords the sensation of seasck
ness. A number of animals are kept
at the Chutes. and among them was a
mongoose.
A former resident of Hawaii whose
chickens had been carried off by one
OF this tribe, recognized the "varmint"
and informed the authorities. His own
er, Wild Bill, refused to kill him or
give him up to the police. A warrant
was sworn out for the arrest of the
mongoose, and he was about to be TAX
en- into custody, when Wild Bill hid him
in box marked Oranges" and ship
ped him into Arizona, and out of the
jurisdiction Of the court which issued
the warrant. All that wild Bill did
was to send him to the nearest place
where California and Arizona met, and
have the mongoose turned loose.
Now Arizona has a mongoose and its
lTuuDleS are begun. 1t is suggested tnat
an energetic lawyer could make himself
famous by rounding up the mongoose
in Arizona, and having the law enforc-
ed. A lawyer from Hawaii especially
would have the knowledge of mongeese
requisite to prosecute the case proper

IONA, have invited him to return at once
and begin the mongoose feud. AS Hum

KOHALA DITCH
BEFORE COOPER

There was no meeting OF the Exec-
utive Council yesterday, though Thurs
day Is the regular meeting day. spe-
cial meeting of the council is to be call
ed by Acting Governor Cooper, though
for what purpose is not given out. 1t
~ possible that the Kohaa water
scheme may be taken up by the Exec
utivc Council, but il is not probable
that any action will be taken until a
copy of the decision is received from
the Interior Department.
There are now two applications for
water rights in Kohala before the gov
eminent" said Acting Governor Coop
er yesterday. mo action will of course
be taken upon either before the Secre-
tary of the Interior Is heard from. Both
Col. Parker and Col. Jones have agreed
to practically the same conditions,
though the agreement made has no ref
erence to an acceptance on the part OF
the Territory of either contract"
Col. Jones stated yesterday that
nothing further would be done by his
company for the present, as his appli-
cation for the franchise was still before
the governor.
Both companies DESTROYS of franchise
offered much better conditions than
those imposed in the Kohala ditch bill
which was passed by the House COM
mittee. No compensation was provid-
ed for In Wilcox's bill, while both COM
panies In their offer to the Territory
agreed to the payment Of $1,000 per year
FOR five years. after which five per cent
of the gross receipts OF the company
were to be added to the governments
compensation.
The negotiations were practically
closed last September. when q commu-
nication was received from the Interior
Department In which the governor was
advised that In the absence OF an ex-
press statute the Territory had no au-
thority t. grant such a franchise. The
decision In this case was given by
Judge Proudfit and Is now reversed in
the ruling made by Judge Van Devan-
ter.
