MARK ROBINSON
WILL NOT ACCEPT
HIS OWN BUSINESS AFFAIRS
WILL NOT ALLOW HIM TO TAKE
OFFICE OF TREASURER.

Mark P. Robinson who has been
prominently mentioned for the Treas
urership will not accept the nomina-
tion on the plea of health and already
overcrowding business interests.
81 have not been actually offered the
office" said Mr.. Robinson this morn
ing. II have been sounded on the mat
ter but it is absolutely impossible for
me to think of an acceptance. There
are many reasons why l must decline.
l have too many irons in the fire and
my business affairs are already over
crowding me. My health too is begin
ming to break up and l do not feel that
this is the time for me to set aside my
own interests and health and take up
cares of office which l might be unable
to carry out through failing health"
MIR. Robinson was mentioned as a
probable candidate for the office OF
Treasurer some weeks ago, the selec-
ton being brought forward as recip-
rocity measure and an endeaVor to ap-
point an Hawaiian of undoubted abil-
ityl and responsibility. Mr.. Robinson,
however, declined positively as soon as
approached upon the subject. 1t is
stated that he was positively offered
the position in writing and declined in
similar fashion, but it appears that he
has merely been sounded upon the sub
Eject. In any event he is not of the list
of possibilities.

TAX CLERKS IN
COURT FOR TRIAL
EXPECTED THAT WOODWARD
WILL TESTIFY AGAINST THoMP-
SoN-HARD TIME TO GET JURY.

The trial of Alexander ID. Thompson,
formerly of the Tax office, for embez-
Element, began this morning before
Judge De Bolt, with George A. Davis
defending, and Deputy Attorney Cen
eral Douthitt prosecuting. The case
was a breezy one from the start, and
by IL o'clock all the jury panel had
been exhausted and EaYis had a lot of
objections on the record. Twelve more
jurora were ordered summoned to be in
court at 1880 p. M, the names being
drawn in open court, in spite of more
objections from Davis. There are five
indictments for embezzlement against
Thompson.
The case that was taken up Is that OF
an indictment against both Thompson
and Joseph Woodward. It charges
them with the embezzlement of three
separate sums of So, tax money collect
ed for the government. Douthitt NOV
ed to sever the cases, trying Thomp-
son first separately, and it soon devel-
oped that the prosecution expects
Woodward to testify against Thomp-
son. Davis said the cases could not be
severed, and the jurors were dismissed
while the question was argued.
Judge De Bolt held, after consider
able heated argument, that the cases
could be severed, but he declared him
self strongly of the opinion that the
prosecution would not have right to
call Woodward as a witness. This mat
ter was left, however, to be argued
when Woodward is called. The motion
to sever the cases was granted and
then the court struck a snag in the
shape of twelve jurymen sworn to an
swer questions as to their fitness to sit
in the case of Thompson and Wood
ward.
DOuthitt wanted another twelve men
called to the box. Davis objected. The
court wanted to know if Davis was
satisfied to go ahead and examine the
twelve men already in the box but
Davis said he wasn't. He objected both
ways. you don't want to do any
thing, it seems" said the court, and
twelve more men were called to the
box.
The additional jurors summoned are
the following: d. Kawananakoa, John
II. Hare, Joseph Seabury, G. f. Ward,
Henry Wise, o. c. Swain, j. d. Tucker,
George S. Harris, Jr., c. H. Clapp, S.
Kamaku, John S. Gillis, A. d. Bolster

FAMINE FUNDS
SENT TO CHINA
UNITED CHINESE SOCIETY SENDS
$SOOO-THE BOW WONGS WILL
SEND $25OO-CANTON STRICKEN.

The news from the Orient is that the
drought in the province of Canton con-
tinues and that great suffering is pe-
ing felt by the people. Among the
poorer classes actual starvation is be-
ing felt and the hospitals are full of
those who have become sick, as one of
the results of the destitution engen-
dered by the drought.
With every few exceptions the Chi
nese of these islands are all from the
Province of Canton, and in consequence
they feel very directly the suffering
that is being experienced. Indeed in
many cases the relatives of Chinese
here are suffering from the famine.
The United Chinese Society has al
ready sent $4,000 to HongkOng to be
used from there for the relief of the
suffering in the Canton province. The
Bow Wong Society has stirred itself,
and is making efforts to raise 81 500 to
be sent as the contribution of that So
ciety. A considerable portion of this
amount has already been secured, and
it is believed there will be little diff
Guilty in securing the balance. a..
In addition to these amounts sent
and to be sent by organizations indivi-
dual Chinese have sent considerable
amounts,

AND MEYERS
NOT IN CONTEMPT
JUDGE GEAR HOLDS THAT THE
WRIT WAS NOT PROPERLY
SERVED-WRIT IN FORCE.

High Sheriff Brown and Deputy Au-
ditor Meyers were discharged by Judge
Gear this morning, when their con-
tempt case came up, the court holding
that they had not been properly served
with the writ of mandamus which they
refused to obey. At the same, time
Gear held that the writ was in force,
and that if proper service had been
made he would have insisted upon its
enforcement This left the way open
for Austins attorneys to serve the writ
properly, and then it will have to be
obeyed and Austin put in possession of
his office, or contempt sentences will
result.
Il am satisfied that the attempted
appeal does not act as a stay" said the
court land l do not believe that an
appeal lies, in this form, if in any, from
a writ of this kind. If there is any ap-
peal it is by certiori. In some cases,
such as the habeas corpus, the Su-
preme Court has held that there is an
appeal where the code does not pro-
vide for any, but the court has ruled
that a contempt judgment is final.
THE writ of mandamus is special
and extraordinary proceeding. Our
statute expressly provides that there
shall be no return to a writ of manda-
mus except absolute and implicit obe-
ulenCe. Inc court mas the nlSneSt re-
spect for the respondents and also for
their legal adviser, but it would not
hesitate, in spite of their high rank.
to enforce its order if it thought proper.
Il am of the opinion, however, that
there was no proper service of the writ
in this case. The law provides that
copy Of the writ must be served by a
Deputy Sheriff, and that the original
must be sworn when such service is
made. This was not done in the pres
ent case, and it is the only proper pro-
cedure.
IF the writ had been properly serv-
ed the defendants, regardless of their
high station, would have to obey it un-
less it were. superseded by some other
order. But as there was no proper
service of the writ the court holds that
that there was no contempt in disobey-
ing it,
Deputy Attorney General Cathcart
offered an additional return for the
purpose of clearing the record in the
case. 1t was an affidavit by High Sher-
if Brown and Deputy Auditor Meyers,
to the effect that an appeal from the
writ of mandamus was filed, between
12:l5 and 1890 on the day of the issu-
anc4 u the wri. A. G.. NJ. Robertson,
counsel for Austin, objected to the fill
ing of the return.

HUMPHREYS OBJECTS TO THIRD
INDICTMENT AND ADMITS DE-
MURRER Is NOT WELL TAKEN.
OBJECTS TO COURT TINE.

Pleas were entered this morning by
superintendent Boyd in each of the
three embezzlement cases against him.
Boyd answered mot guilty" in each
case, and the trials were postponed to
await their turns on the calendar, with
not very good chance of being reached

Before speas were entered A. s.
Humphreys brought forth another le-
gal point, applicable to Indictment
number three. He filed a demurrer to
the Indictment, on the ground that it
did not state facts sufficient to show an
offense against the laws of the Territory
of Hawaii. This is the Indictment un-
der which Boyd is charged with having
taken $l,700 from the Interior Depart
ment of Hawaii, when he was chief

The point raised is as to whether
this alleged theft from the Republic OF
Hawaii constitutes an offense against
the laws of the Territory of Hawaii.
II will state frankly to the court that

matter of being fair with the court.
But l have not had time to look up the
matter carefully and therefore file it for
what it is WORTH" Humphreys further
remarked that he thought nine o'clock
was too early for court to convene. He
had worked to midnight last night and
got up at seven this morning to get TO
court. Court opening at nine gave an

morning to answer correspondence or
consult with his assistants or associates
The same applied to jurors. Judge De
Bolt said that the nine o'clock opening
was only for eX-parte matters and mat
ters specially set and that $3.50 was the
hour for jurors and regular business.
The demurrer to indictment number
three was overruled without argument.
Humphreys said that he was going to
Kona to attend the Kona Sugar COM
pany sale and would not be ready to try
the cases when he returned.

HAD NOT POWER TO
REVOKE LICENSES

Judge Gear this afternoon overruled
the demurrer in the case brought by
Japanese doctors against Treasurer
Cooper, to restrain Cooper from revok
ing the licenses of the Japs. The court
practically decided the whole case,
holding that Cooper had no authority
to revoke the licenses, and that it didn't
matter whether the Board of Medical
ances of the licenses was legally ap-
pointed or not.
There is no doubt that the Board
which issued the licenses was the de
'facto Board of Medical Examiners" Z"
said the judge, whether legally ap-
pointed or not. The acts of the Board
Cannot be attacked now, and these doc
tors are entitled to their licenses. There
is no law giving the Treasurer any
power to revoke a license of a physi-
clan except after charges against him
shall have been sustained before the
Board of Health" Gear said he would
issue a perpetual injunction against
the Treasurer, as Davis had said that
he didn't want to answer on the issue,
but Davis said he had misunderstood,
and wanted time in which to answer.
He was given five days.
Judge Gear quoted to Davis the de-
cision of the Supreme Court in the
Wilder Steamship case, where the acts
of Davis as a Circuit judge were at
tackled because he had been illegally
appointed. The court held in that case
that Davis was the de facto judge and
that his acts had legal authority

RULE CASE
PACIFIC COAST TO
BE LEFT WITHOUT
ANY LARGE SHIPS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12-The
new policy which is to govern
the distribution of naval ships
will leave the Pacific slope with
out a single vessel of the first
class to guard it's shores. The
significance of the radical
changes made known today in
the annual report of Rear Ad-
miral Taylor, chief of b ureau
of navigation, lies in the fact
that the plan was devised by
the general board of the navy,
although this circumstance has
not heretofore become known to
the public, and no mention of the
general board in this connection
is made in the repoEt.
The new order of things,
briefly stated, contemplateS the
assembling of all the battleships
and THE more powerful cruisers
of the navy in two great squa-
drons, one of which shall be in
North. Atlantic and e.other in
/. Asiattc"waters For all that any
body knows, this policy is to re-
main in force indefinitely, or, in
deed for all time.
