DECISION FOR
nCABBY BROWN
JUDGE GEAR HOLDS THAT HE is
ENTITLED TO REMAIN MAN
AGER OF THE JOHN II ESTATE.

"Cabby" Brown is entitled to hold his
position as manager of the John Ii es-
tate, limited, according to a decision
rendered this morning by Judge Gear,
Gear overrules the demurrer in the case
of @. A. BROWN vs.. A. w, Carter ct al,
I In which an injunction was asked for
to restrain the defendants from
adopting new bylaws for the corpora
tion, under which they might have
ousted Brown. This is the case that
brought Brown back in hurry, on a
summons from his attorney, after he
had got as far as New York on tour
to Europe.
Judge Gear quotes the charter pro-
vision that Brown shall retain his Of
flee of manager as long as he owns a
quarter of the stock of the corporation,
also the proposed new bylaws, under
which he might be removed If he left
the Territory, or for other reasons. The
court says:
1T is plain from the bylaws quoted
that they are absolutely inconsistent
and contrary to these provisions of the
contract or charter of the incorpora-
| tors"
The provision requiring the officers
to be residents of Hawaii is held to be
! inconsistent in so far as it affects any
officer named in the charter to hold
office. The decision says that the plain
tiff has IAN absolute right, so long as
he owns quarter of the stock of the
| corporation, to hold the office of man
ager." If he leaves the Territory and
| thereby Injuries the corporation there
is remedy in equity.
| Judge Gear says that the defendants,
the other stockholders of the corpora
tion, signed the charter of incorpora-
tion and are bound by it. If it is harsh,
1t is all according to the bond" The
charter is an unusual one, says the
court, but it is not attacked in this
proceeding.
The demurrer is overruled and the
| defendants are given five days in
which to answer if they are so advised.

THEGOVERNOR'S
COMMITTEE
ACTS
If Only one Federal Building
is 0btainable the Present
Custom House Site is Agreed
on,

Two sites have been recommended by
the governors committee on federal
sites and buildings. One of tntm has
alternative proposals tackled to it and
will not be submitted to other bodies
for consideration until definite action
between the owners of the property and
the government has been consummated.
One of the two, the post office site, is
that of the Bishop property opposite the
Young building. The other, the GUS
tom house site, is the present site
with the addition of adjoining land.
If only one building is forthcoming
1t is the present sense that it should
be placed on the enlarged customs site
and that any spare land shall be turned
into parks giving Honolulu a new and
attractive waterfront and a tropical
Castle Garden.
These decisions were arrived at this
morning a meeting of the committee
with Commissioner Eustis in the direc-
tors room of Alexander and Baldwin.
Present were Commissioner Eustis,
r. Carter, A. Gartley, S. X. Kane, Gen.
r2aICwell, Postmaster Oat, Collector
Stackable, DR.. Cofer and Appraiser
Sharp AL of whom discussed the ques-
tions presented at length.
The new post Office site question will
be threshed out as speedily as possible
to allow of the commissioners depart
ture but Governor Dole will have to be
reached through wireless telegraph
which it is feared may be a lengthy as
well as expensive undertaking. The
question hinges upon the mutual agree
ment of the Bishop Estate and the gov
ernment upon lands eXchangeable and
the valuation thereof. The alternative
suggestions are those of the Union Feed
Company and the Allen sites. The lat
ter is obtainable as a price of between
- and Y,nt.
DR.. Cofer explained that with the
present accommodations his depart
ment was greatly embarrassed. At
present his office was entirely insuffi-
Client consisting of only one large room
partitioned into three, giving no pri-
vacy for heads of departments and
causing much confusion between the
three branches of quarantine, marine
hospital and immigration. There was
no territorial equivalent for Castle
Garden and immigrants at present
were sent to the quarantine yards for
inspection. For immediate attention
to water front accidents there is no
accommodation and the fact of the Of
fees being situated perforce upstairs
where sick men have to climb long
fight of stairs creates further inconve-
nience. An emergency ward was want
ed and at least five rooms or offices.
There is no available space in the Gus
tom House which would be more con-
Venient for DR.. Cofer's department
| than the present close Quarters.
Collector Stackable stated that the
| buildings, built of coral in 1850 were
| in constant need of repairs and totally
! Inadequate. He showed plans of each
| department with the location of desks,

CASES OF TYPHOID
REPORTED FROM NORTH HILO
DURING MONTH OF NOVEMBER
STRONG DRUGS SOLD.

DR.. A. Irwin, government physician
for the district of North Hilo, in his
report to the Board of Health for the
month of November, states that there
were q cases of typhoid fever in the
district during the month, and has a
complaint to make regarding the sale
of strong drugs by Japanese medicine
peddlers. The number of typhoid
cases is unusual but health conditions
otherwise are reported good. The doc
tor says:
Il would recommend that some stric-
ture be put on the indiscriminate sale
of such drugs as antipyrin, antifebrin
or acetanilide by Japanese medicine
peddlerS, as 1 have seen a number of
cases of fever which have died in the
first week of their illness, in which
am morally sure the cause of death
was overdoses of these strong heart
depressents. incidentally l might also
mention seeing by accident case of a
native woman in the fourth week of
enteric with a pulse barely perceptible
and very fast, being dosed with anti
febrin every three hours by one of our
recent Japanese medical brothers."
The doctors all report fairly good
conditions, and they have few recon-
mendations to make. Without eXcep-
ton the answer to the questions as to
whether consumption is increasing is
in the negative.

MEMORIAL BY
CATHOLIC
LALTY
Changes They Think Necessary
or Expedient Which may In
fIuenCe the Selection of the
Bishop Coadjutor

In connection with the recommenda-
tion sent by Bishop Gulstan for the ap-
pointment of a coajutor who shall be.
practically a successor to him, the
Catholic laity of Honolulu have sent a
memorial to the headquarters of the
Order of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus
and Mary in Paris, as well as to the col
lege of the Propaganda al Rome on the
subject of the selection of the new bish
op and asking for provisions for an
other church here, as it is deemed pro-
per that there should be separate
houses of worship for the Portuguese,
who wish to hold service in their own
language and the English-speaking
members of the laity.
The memorial went forward by the
Coptic last Thursday. 1t sets forth the
conditions here, there being large num-
bers of Portuguese who have services
in their own language and this inter-
feres with the English-speaking congre-
CATION There is a conflict of hours
and it is thought that a separation of
the large congregation here into two
congregations would be very desirable.
The memorialists also ask for assist
ance in the establishment of Catholic
societies here. Hawaii has not the
usual organizations of this character
which are found all over the Mainland,
and the laity propose to form them.
The matter of a successor to the Bish-
op, who even if he RECEIVERS from his
present illness does not want to resume
his active duties, is referred to in con-
necticn with the desire for the organ
ization of societies. The memorial says
that man is wanted as Bishop who
will lead in these movements as well as
in the church work proper. If the me-
mortal is favorably regarded by the
Propaganda it is likely that the suces-
sor to Bishop Gulstan will be much
younger man,

WORK Of THE MAUI
CIRCUIT COURT
PILIPILI GETS TWO YEARS FOR
WHAT CONVICT WOODS GOT
LIFE-KAHUNA CASE.

Judge Kalua of Maui sentenced two
Nmore burglars at the term of court just
SAded, but not for life. The court dis
posed of about twenty cases, d. H
Case acting as Deputy Attorney Gen
eral.
The most important case was that of
Fugita Kicharo, who was charged with
murder in the first degree. He killed
japanese woman named Mamono,
stabbing her to death with a pocket
knife. The motive was jealousy, with
the usual Japanese murder story of one
man infatuated with another man 5
wife. Fugita was placed on trial and
one witness was examined, when he de-
cided to make a plea of guilty, to es-
cape hanging. The plea was accepted
the jury discharged, and Fugita was
sentenced by Judge Kalua to life inn
prisonment.
Pilipili pleaded guilty to burglary in
the first degree, and was given two
years hard labor. Convict Woods got
life for the same offense in the same
court. Domingo Kinion charged with
burglary in the first degree, pleaded
guilty of burglary in the second degree
and was given one year.
Among the cases on the calendar was
that of Neau, an aged Hawaiian wo-
man charged with kahunaism. She Is
alleged to have practicing her sorcer-
ess arts upon sick persons, with the
result that three Hawaiians who fol-
lowed her advice when they were i'll
have died.
Three cases were dismissed because
the complaints from the District Cour
charged the defendants only on 'infor.
nation and belief" and Case declared
that he didn't believe such complaints
were legally sufficient.

GULSTAN
RETURNS TODAY
WILL BE TAKEN TO THE MISSION
is STILL A VERY SICK MAN
WAS ANXIOUS TO RETURN.

Bishop Gulstan returned from Hilo
today in the care of Father Valentine
Fathers and brothers of the Mission
were awaiting the arrival of the Kinau
with impatience, a little being ready
for the conveyance of the sick prelate
from the boat.
DIR. Herbert was in readiness and
was the first to mount the gangway
followed by the local fathers. The lit
ter was kept in readiness, but DR.. Her
bert, after seeing the bishop, decided
to wait until the passengers had left
and the dock was cleared and quiet be-
fore transporting the sick man.
He will be taken to the mission and
there attended. He stood the trip well
and was very anxious to get back to
Honolulu. While improved he is still
very sick man and hopes of recov-
cry are still of the slightest.

AN APPEAL
TO ROME
THE WICKED ABBOT
AND THE VERY Willy
YAMEN RUNNERS

The Yuan Taotai of Shang-
hal learning that the Buddhist
Abbot of Lunghua Pagoda and
Monastery had turned part of
the Monastery into a gambling
place, a tea house, and the
meeting place of so-called fe-
male vegetarian societies, di-
rected the magistrate to issue a
summons for the Abbots arrest.
The Yamen runners scenting
loot from the gaming tables and
presents from the guilty Abbot
and monks, anticipated the le-
gal service of summons and
raided the Monastery on their
own account. They caught the
Abbot and a large number of
patrons at the gaming table.
Among the patrons were a con-
siderable number of women of
the weather. classes of the ma
tive city and foreign settle
ments. 1t is said the booty from
the raid was like a days looting
after the capture of Peking by
the Powers-North China News.

JOLL|ES HILO

During a conversation with the Ha-

missioner Eustis spoke highly of Hilo
syd the public spiritedness of the peo-
pie. You have a magnificent location
here and your city is bound to grow,
the back country is what Americans
look for and Hilo has that feature. Be-
ing nearer the mainland than Honolu-
lu it is probable that when the canal is
finished the vessels coming through the
canal will make Hilo the first port of
call. ll.'-Hawai Herald

Something Of the effect of the
Russian censorship is indicated
in the following from the Japan
Herald: when it was stated
some time ago by a Hongkong
journal that all newspapers sent
to Vladivostok had first to go to
Moscow to be censored there,
doubt of the accuracy of the
statement was expressed. Now
1t is confirmed by a postal regu-
lation just promulgated at st.
Petersburg, that arrangement
has been made to have all for
eign newspapers and journals
addressed to Vladivostok and
Eastern Siberia hereafter eX-
amined by censors at Vladivos-
tok instead of sending the same
for this purpose on to Moscow,
which has been done for nearly
ten months now, thus depriving
the public of immediate foreign
commercial and other news
from abroad, nearly two months
elapsing before the journals
are again received from Mos
