SARATOGA SPRINGS, y. Y. Aug. Il.
The second weeks racing at Saratoga
has been on the whole much more sat
isfactory than the opening week. Both
the weather and the track have been
better. and owners and trainers who
were almost afraid to start their
charges the first week were liberal in
their entries during the week just ended.
Then, too, the horses are getting used
TO the track, and, becoming acclimated.
are experiencing the benefit of the
waters to be had here. There is hardly
a thoroughbred at the track that has
not been benefited by his stay here.
The climate is of the most invigorating
sort for horse as well as man. and the
racers are freshening up wonderfully.
They eat more and drink more than
they do at the courses around New
York, and are in healthier state gen.
orally than in any other part of the
country. 1t is not surprising. there
fore, that the racing has been better
than the first week.
While this is true with regard to the
sport itself, the crowd has lost some
of its glamour. Many of the notables
who were present during the first week
of the meeting have left the Springs.
and although the race course daily still
presents a gay appearance of wealth
and fashion, many of the men and
women who created much talk and at
tention have gone TO other parts of the
country. The Goulds and Vanderbilts
have gone, and John W. Gates is in
Chicago He Will likely return before

MRS. KAULIA ASSAULTED BY
DRUNKEN MAN.
Women Were the Principal Complain
ants This Morning in the Battery
Cases Before Judge Wilcox.

Most Of the cases before Judge Wilcox
this morning were for assault and bat
terry md, strange to relate, the Offend
ers appeared to be either husbands or
sweethearts as the majority of the COM
planning witnesses were women.
Makanui was first charged with
drunkenness but this was nolle pressed
and a new charge of assault and bat
terry entered. Mrs. j. X. Kaulia the
wife of the Home Rule leader and ora
tor appeared against the defendant.
No testimony was offered as the defen-
dant pleaded guilty According to the
story told the authorities, Makanui
wandered into the bed room Of Mrs.
KauliR, New Years night Kaulia was
absent at the time, but whether he was
hunting for snakes is not known. In
am event excited by liquor, Makanui
seemed to think that he had the same
privileges as Kaulia and tried to share
the couch with Mrs. Kaulia. She
screamed and had to struggle desperate
ly to resist his advances.
Pae was fined $40 for assault and
battery on Lipeka. A similar case
against W. Meyer charged with battery
on Mrs T, Meyer was continued until
tomorrow. David I&u was fined $40 for
assault and battery on Keamoku. Kuhn
nahoa was given one month for yeat-
ing Puahia. The case against Kurada
had TO be continued until Monday as
Shamuda, his alleged victim, was too i'll
in the hospital to appear.
When the case against Sidney jack
son was called the prosecuting witness,
Ana Malta a woman, did not appear,
The prosecution was not satisfied over
her failure to appear, so a subpoena
was issued for her, returnable tomor-
row.

MYSTERIOUS LEAKS
POLE CLIMBERS RUN UP BILLS
FOR AUSTIN ESTATE.
Climbing Irons Punctured Tin Roof
And Mystifed Agents. Made Trade
Good for Plumbers.

Henry Penallow of Brewer and Co,
who are the agents for the Austin Es-
tate, satisfactorily solved a problem
this morning which has been puzzling
the heads of several people for some
time past. The question was the origin
of certain mysterious and persistent
leaks in the tin roofs of certain build
ings belonging to the estate which have
proved bothersome and expensive
items of repair for several weeks.
no sooner would tenant complain
and the hole in the roof be discovered
and repaired, than the water would
find it's way through yet another hole
in an entirely different direction. In
dry weather everything went along
serenely but no sooner would a heavy
showed come along than the water
would run through the roof like beans
strained through a kitchen cOlandeT and
there would be strained relations be-
tween tenant and agent until the plum
Der was once more brought in. Mean
time the repairing bill ate up the pro-
fits of the rentals and touched on the
rentals themselves an still the leaks
continued to come in fresh and unex-
peCted places.
Slores of plumbers and tin workers
who mended one place while artfully
preparing another for future reference
and profit crossed the minds of the
agents, but they were loath to believe
that a Honolulu plumber would be
guilty of such malpractice.
Nevertheless they kept a close watch
on the roofs and yesterday the mystery
was elucidated. The gentry who repair
the telephone and telegraph connec-
tions and deftly climb the poles aided
! by steel spurs attached to ankle and
knee were discovered to be the culpFlts,
The ankle spurs touched the ground, L,
was found, and on he tin roofs pune
! tuated their owners trail with a series
! of nice little holes whose presence mys-
! titled the property agents and the re-
pairers alike.
| &C is said that a number of signs are
being painted for the agent which will
be placed in conspicuous positions on
the roofs and read somewhat as fol-
| lows. Pole Climbers-NOtice! Iou
are requested to remove your spurs
while walking on these roofs as the
! places whereon thou treadest are holy
ground" Other measures are also be-
! ing taken to prevent a repetition Of the
! calamity

DROWNED IN ODD WAY
CABIN BOY ON HEsPER
STUCK IN MUD.
Fell Overheard This Morning and Was
Not Seen Until Sailor Dived Below
And Recovered Body.

The Japanese cabin boy on the bark
Hesper was drowned this morning
about IL O'clock, in quite an odd way.
The bark was lying at the head of the
railway slip and Waikiki Of the prison.
Shimi, the japanese boy, had occasion
to carry bucket Of slops from the gal
ley to empty over the side of the ves-
sell He stood on the deck load Of lum-
Der, which is back a couple Of feet from
the edge of the rail. Evidently, the
boy tried to throw the stun as far out
as possible from the side Of the vessel,
to avoid getting any dirt on the ship,
and in doing so lost his balance and
toppled over the side into the water
several sailors saw the boy fall into
the water and they waited Tor nlm to
rise. To their CONSERVATION, the body
did not appear and after waiting a
few minutes, they gave the alarm.
Captain Harry Flint of the harbor po-
lice heard of the drowning and going
over to the vessel asked II some of the
sailors would not try to learn what had
become of the body. 1t was at first
thought that perhaps sharks might
have been in the vicinity and seized the
body as soon as it fell into the water.
j. Pembrose an old man-o'- -warsman
took rope and dived below He re-
turned and said that the body was
there. The head was sticking in the
mud clear up to the mouth he said ana
the feet We're floating upward. Flint
told him to try and get line onto the
body and bring it up but Pembrose was
aDle to loosen the body and br.-- At
above without the rope.
There is considerable uncertainty as
to what caused the body to get into the
mud. While the heat was sticking in
the mud and that prevented the remains
from rising, it is not exactly plain how
the body could have ever reached the
bottom in the first place as the water
is at least "a feet deep where the Japa-
n~se fell from the side Of the ship.
Evidently the boy was rendered un-
conscious or practically so by striking
against the rail or a block at the side
of the vessel for by no other means
couid the body have failed to rise after
the body tumbled into the water. Tne
remains were removed to the morgue.
An inquest win be held probably this
evening.

SAvIDGE. JUEN AND sCHNACK
CASE
New Trial is Refused-COurt Says Two
Defendants Gave Testimony Convict
ing Themselves.

Judge Humphreys today decided the
motion for a new trial in the cases Of
H, A. Juen, William Savidge and ]. H.
Schnack, overruling the motion. In the
decision the court stated that the tes-
timony of Juen and Schnack was
enough alone to convict them both As
to the first ground for the motion, that
the verdict was contrary to the evil
dence and the weight of the evidence
the court says:
THE verdict was not, in the opinion
of the court contrary to the evidence
or the weight Of the evidence, but it is
amply sustained by IT, indeed, the jury
might very well have returned a YER
dice of guilty against the defendants
Schnack and Juen upon their testimony
alone. Their defense amounted practi-
cally to a plea of molliter manus inn
posuit, which is wholly inadmisslble in
a case where according to the testi-
mOny of the defendants, they were not
justified in using any force whatever
If however there be any doubt as to
the sufficiency of the testimony of the
defendants themselves to have war
ranted the conviction, it can hardly be
contended that the jury could have
reached any other verdict than that of
guilty upon a consideration of all of
the evidence"
With regard to the alleged prejudi-
cial misconduct of Juror Nick Peterson,
the court holds that such misconduct
was not proved, in the face of Peter
sons afidavit denying what had been
charged The court says: Authority
and reason justify the holding that a
verdict cannot be impeached upon the
.uncorroborated affidavit of one person
.attributing misconduct to a juror, when
the juror in a counter affidavit posi-
lively denies such alleged misconduct"
A new suit against Patrick Walsh
has been brought by Jacinta ]. Walsh,
asking for annulment of their alleged
marriage. The plaintiff claims that at
the time of the ceremony she was not
IA years of age, and that she has not
yet reached that age, and was there
fore not capable of being principal in
a marriage ceremony.

KELLETTS RESIGNATION HAS
BEEN ACCEPTED.
Miss Kathryn widdineld Will Probably
be the Clerk in Judge Humphreys
Court.

p. d. Kellett, Jr., clerk of Judge
Humphreys court today sent in his
resignation, TO take effect next Monday.
The resignation will be accepted and
an appointment Of a successor will be
made before next Monday. 1t is report
ed that Miss Kathryn Widdlfeld will
be appointed to fill the position.
Kellett has been clerk since July q,
having been appointed as clerk by
Judge Gear during the absence of
Judge Humphreys. Under the new law
passed by the legislature last Spring,
each Of the judges of the first circuit
was entitled to the appointment of one
clerk. Kellett was given a temporary
appointment by Gear during the alb
sence of Humphreys. Since the latter
returned there have been many appli-
cations for the place.
The appointment of a young lady as
court clerk will be an innovation. Miss
Widdifeld is well known in Honolulu
society.

HUMPHREYS QUESTIONS MORE
INVESTMENTS.
NJ. P. Robinson Puts Up $15,OOO-Oahu
Railway Bonds in with waialua and
McBryde Bonds

Investments in Oahu Railway bonds
and in a note Of Mark P. Robinson for
$4,000 were held up this morning by
Judge Humphreys when the accounts
of the estate of John Robinson were
brought up. Henry Smith, master, sub
mitted a report which approved of the
accounts in general and the report was
approved, but the court called atten-
tion to the note, and said it was not
proper security. The trustees are NJ.
p. Robinson and S. G. Allen.
The inventory showed $780, 900 invest
ed in Hawaiian government bonds, $17-
900 in Oahu Railway and Land Com
pany bonds and $4,000 in a personal
note, secured by collateral, of Mark p.
Robinson. Other large holdings were
sugar stocks and real estate, making a
total of 100000.
The court disapproved the Robinson
note, declaring that it was illegal for
a trustee to borrow from his trust
funds, and tha' unless the note was
taken up at once, he would make an
order disappearing the investment and
ordering the money repaid into the es-
tate. 'I will take up the note at once"
said Robinson.
AS to the railway bonds the court
inquired if the trust deed had the
clause found in Waialua and McBryde,
providing that there should be no fore
closure except on a vote of a majority
of the bOndholders. No one in court
was able to say, and the matter was
postponed until next Monday, when, if
it be found that the clause in question
is in the bonds, the investment will be
disapproved
1--WE can put the money in something
else" said S. C. Allen, when he was
under the impression that the court
was about to disapprove the investment
at once. "These bonds appeared to be
the best security we could find"
"The court is unable to see why
bonds at per cent should be invested
in when there are plenty of mortgages
to be had paying 8 per cent said Judge
Humphreys. There is plenty of secur-
ity offered by people who are willing
to pay per cent in Honolulu, for
amounts not over so per cent of the
value of their property and no money
is obtainable."
Trustee Allen remarked that real es-
tate appeared to be depreciating, and
didn't seem a certain security. As
time went by money lenders who had
thought when they made loans that
they had ample security found that
they were far from secured.
The court gave an additional reason
why bonds such as those he refused to
approve as investments a few days
ago, were not proper securities for es-
tates. Investing in such bonds the
trustees practically delegate part OF
their authority as trustees to a )majOr-
ity of the bOndholders," said 8umph-
reys "They subject themselves, in
the matter of realizing upon the secur-
ity, to the decision of the majority OF
the bondhOlders, and thus delegate tc
that majority a part of their auth ority
as trustees. This is something which
canot legally be done"

AND HAWAII
SAYS HE IS \ SHIPBUILDER ~
BATH, MAINE.
Is Out # Politics, But Has Expressed
Himself Both for Little and Parker
or The GovernorsIp.

Letters received by The Star from
Washington state that Harold NJ. se-
wall is working for Judge Little of Huo
for Governor Of Hawan. He is said to
have so expressed himself to several
senators and others.
On the other hanu he is quoted as say
ing to a Washington paper;
Il am in the shipbuilding business in
Bath, and am out of politics. 1 shah
retain a lively interst in the affairs of
Hawaii which is a glorious country and
have no favors to ask, but wou.- be
glad to see Colonel Sam Parker who is
now in Washington appointed Governor
of those islands. He is the choice of
the best people there and no one under
stands better the peculiar conditions
and neeus of the mixed elments COM

Just what these two contradictory
statements of SewalTs attitude mean,
will probably be setued in each indivi-
duals' mind accordingly as each is ac-
quainted with Sewalrs methods and
career.
There seems no doubt that he has
made each of the statements attributed
to him. Whether he has at last giver

is not known. 1t is known that he ha!

that he has been told from very in

THE GAZING Sighted

The steamship Gaelic was Sighted 20
miles west at 1:3O o'clock
She will probably get away tomorrow
morning some time for San Francisco.
The Gaelic had not left HOngkOng
when the Peking left Yokohama, De-
cember Is, and it was believed that the
o. and o. vessel would, in consequence,
be late a day at least in getting Homo
lulu. She will bring very heavy car
go, it is believed as the shipment of
stuff for the Chinese new year will pro-
badly be begun with that vessel. Ship
ment of sacking. is also heavy now and
it is very likely. that the Gaelic will
bring almost as large as cargo here as
did the Picking last week.
