SAILOR GETS
CHRISTMAS GIFT
RECEIVED LIBERTY AT HANDS
OF JUDGE WILCOX WHEN PRIS-
ON SEEMED THREATENING.

Jack Magnussen, the second mate of
the bark r. p. Rithet, received a
Christmas gift this morning that he
probably values more than any other
benefit that was ever before conferred
on him. He was before Judge Wilcox
to answer to charge of a murderous
assault with a revolver on Keaupuni.
The latter was shot in the body some
weeks ago by MGgnussen during a
drunken dispute up Nuuanu valley.
Keaupuni stated that he had no re-
collection of the incident which led to
the shooting other than that he had
been intoxicated and the pistol had
been accidentally discharged. The
court discharged the defendant. 1t is
probable that the friends of Magnus-
sen will See that the old native passes
a very enjoyable Christmas, for it was
feared that the sailor was in a very
bad fix

RUSH TO ESCAPE
SUGAR TAXES
MANY SUGAR VESSELS IN PORT
ARE BEING GIVEN A QUICK DIS
PATCH BEFORE END OF YEAR.

The usual rush to get sugar out of
port before the first of the year is now
in progress. The Railway wharf pre-
sents an unusually busy scene. The
steamers Maui, Mikahala and Waia-
leale are alongside the Eva end dis
charging cargoes of sugar onto fiat
cars. This sugar is to be stored at the
warehouse until the S. S. Nevadan re-
turns from Kahului next Tuesday. The
stuff will then be loaded aboard the
vessel and sent to San Francisco on the
following day. The Nebraskan will
take about 5000 tons of sugar out of
this port OF this amount $500 will be
loaded at Honolulu.
The bark r. p. Rithet is nearly load
ed and will sail either next Tuesday or
Wednesday. The barkentine S. N.
Castle is well down in the water with a
sugar cargo and she also will sail the
first part of next week. The Alden
Besse is lying by Allen and Robinson S
wharf receiving sugar from the steamer
Hawaii which arrived this morning
from Hawaii. The Alden Besse will
also be dispatched before the end of the
month.
There are other vessels of the sugar
fleet now in port but they will not be
gotten out before the end of the year.
The desire to get the sugar out of the
country is to escape the taxes which
will be levied against the stuff after
January l. Inasmuch as between 1000
and 5000 tons will be gotten under way
before the close of the year, it will be
seen that the saving in taxes will be
considerable

ES4EE HANDS A
HOT BUNCH
OUT
Tells Him LiSping Children
Know Their CITIZENSHIP p Even
if He Doesn't AffidavitS
Must be Truthful,

United States Judge Estee this morn
ing rendered a decision in the case of
the United States VS.. Walter c. Pea
cock, an action to condemn the schoon-
er Julia e. Whalen, or recover her va
lue $1,000 on account of the owner hav-
ing sworn that he was an American
citizen, when in fact he was not, in an
affidavit filed at the custom house when
American registry was secured for the
vessel. Peacock stated in his answer
that he didn't know that he was not a
citizen of the United States and that
he was not sure whether such a state
ment was in his affidavit or not Dis
trict Attorney Breckons moved to
strike out these and other portions of
the answer on the ground that they
were evasiVe.
As to the denial that the oath was
ever taken the judge says lit b clearly
sham and evasive answer" and 1t is
ordered stricken out also the denial of
knowledge of citizenship. Every man
is presumed to know what country he
is citizen of and he cannot rest a
material denial on the ground that he
does not know that fact"
The judge says that the defendant
must know what he swore to and can
not make denial of his affidavit now.
AS to the allegations that the defendant
had not any real knowledge of the
affidavit and regarded it as purely for
NAL, the court says:
This is not a denial of any probative
fact in the case, and this part of de-
fendants answer is also stricken out,
and all of the allegations in the above
part of defendants answer if allowed
to remain would be trifling with public
Justice and would create false issues to
be tried. Defendant alleges he sup
posed and believed the affidavit signed
by him was purely formal What does
this mean? Can a formal affidavit be
anything but truthful affidavit?" The
allegations are stricken out as sham,
irrelevant and immaterial."
In conclusion the court says the
policy of the government has long been
to register all American vessels and
their ownership. This is for the pro-
lection of owners and seamen: "The
American government in common with
all other civilized powers treats its sea-
men as the wards of the nation. When
ships are wrecked, it sends the sailors
home; when sick, it cares for them.
In this and in many respects it is fra
ternal, but it never knowingly registers
a foreign vessel as an American ship,
nor does it permit foreign ship to sail
Under the American flag. American
sovereignty on tn" land and on the
sea means something, and no American
or foreigner has ever hitherto been
permitted to trife with the rights of
American citizenship. 1t is too fala-
cious to bear repeating that this de-
fenda1t did not know what nation he
was a citizen of; lisping American chill
dren know that, and as a rule they are
proud OF that citizenship" The court
allows five days for the filing of an
amended answer.

PEACOCK
ROASTED
DISGUSTED BY HIS
RELATIVES, HE GIVES.
HIS MONEY TO POOR

FALLS CITY (Neb), Decem-
Der 14.-Disgusted by the bick-
erings and opportunities of
horde of relatives who insisted
that he divide his legacy of $40,-
900 among them, Benjamin w.
Gist, young farmer, near this
town, gave it away to the poor.
Gist owns a good farm and 9TH
er property. The $4,000 was left
to him by an uncle. AS he was
already well to do, a lot of his
relatives talked of contesting
his uncle's will to get a share of
the $4,000, but did not do so.
Recently, when Gist became
of age, the money was turned
over to him. He says he in
tended to divide it among his
relatives, but they disgusted
him and finally he went to the
bank, drew out $4,000 in gold and
drove through the streets of the
city distributing it in So, so and
$40 pieces to the poor. Deserving
and undeserving, just and un-
just, Jared alike. In $4,000 lots
he distributed the entire $4,000
and now he says he is at peace.

OF
HUMPHREYS
Ell AL
Sensational Motion Charging
the EIIiSeS Solicitors and
Counsel With UnprofeSSionaI
Conduct.

A motion was filed in the John K.
Sumner case this morning by Magoon
& Peters, charging the firm of Humph-
reys, Thompson & Watson with "un-
professional conduct as attorneys-at-
law of the Territory of Hawaii and
officers of the court" in that they rep
resented John x. Sumner against the
Ellis heirs a few weeks ago, in the
same matter in which they now rep
, resent the Ellis heirs against John X.
, Sumner. In an affidavit sworn to by
Attorney Il. c. Peters, it is alleged
that the old man did not get releases
from the Ellis heirs when he paid them
$4,000 each, as he got release from
Maria Davis, on account of the neglect
OF his attorneys, and that this neglect
was in furtherance of the interest of
the Ellses "and against the interests
OF said Sumner and in violation of
their professional duty to him, and
abusing the confidence and trust re-
posed in them by him."
That they, the said f. f. Thomp-
son, +. NJ. Watson and A. S. Humph-
reys, and all of them did heretofore.
in an action in the above entitled court
entitled in the matter of the petition OF
Maria 5. Davis to be appointed the
guardian of the estate of John X. Sum-
ner, an insane person, represented,
acted and were the attorneys for the
SAID JOhn IL. sumner. That the SAID
cause was dismissed by consent of all
parties therein and upon the dismissal
thereof, certain property, to wit: the
Reef property, and subject to the
trusts in said trust deed fully describ-
ed in the petition herein, was sold to
the Oahu Railway & Land Co., for the
sum of $l05, 100000. That from said sum
of 100000 there was paid by the
said John X. Sumner unto the said Vie-
tOria Ellis Buffandeau, William S. Ell
lis, John S. Ellis and Maria S. Davis
respondents herein, the sum of $4,000
each that during all of said transac-
tions the said f. e. Thompson, E. NJ.
Watson and A. S. Humphreys repre-
sented acted and were the attorneys
for the said John x. Sumner. That on
behalf of the said John X. Sumner the
said attorneys did secure from Maria
S. Davis, a release and acquaintance OF
all her right, title and interest in and
to the property of the said John X
Sumner under and by virtue of the said
trust deed as aforesaid. That one of
the issues raised in the above entitled
cause, by reason of the joint and sep
arate answer of the said Victoria FL
lis Buffandeau, William S. Ellis and
John S. Ellis, and the answer of the
said John K. Sumner, Is whether or
not the said sum of $l0,0O0.00 was paid
to the said Victoria Ellis Buffandeaus
William S. Ellis and John S. Ellis, and
each of them, in contemplation of the
revocation of the said Trust Deed by

A MONOPOLY OF
EARTHQUAKES

LOS ALAMOS, December 10.
The seismic disturbances
which have made this sa,tion a
center for scientific observ alton
for several months past have
taken new Ind unexpected
turn during the last few days.
Instead of the temblors making
themselves felt in all sections
of the valley, they are now con-
fined to a very small area
about five miles west of town
on the ranch of Don Juan +.
Careaga.
The disturbances have beer
unusually heavy at that point,
and at times have been so vto-
lent as to throw dishes anS
bric-a-brac from the shelves.
The shakes which have been
felt at the Careaga ranch have
not been noticed in town, and
residents are unable to &C.
count for the phenomena. The
change of base of the seismic
operations is given additional
interest by the fact that during
the past month at least ten
more or less heavy shocks have
been felt here.

This was probably the foundation of
the cablegram received at Fanning's.
After the accident from the tauten-

the Silvertown suspending further effort

Old Home Visiting Excursions, an Oppor-
tunity to Look Once More Into the Old
and not Hast Much EIthar

No matter how prosperous or we'll sit
uated a man and his family may be, there
is generally a desire to look on the old
scenes into the old faces, to renew the
associations Of early life, to get possibly a
drink from the old well, to hear
''-the bell swing to and fro,
Its music just the same, dear Tom,
Twas twenty years ago.
"Old Home excursions are consequently
popular, and the Erie Railroad has ar
ranged special rates whereby persons liv-
ing west Of Chicago can visit their friends
in Ohio, Indiana and Western Pennsyl-
vania during October, at exceptionally low
cost. It is believed that large numbers
will take advantage Of the offer, and that
the coming month will witness many re-
unions of friends and old acquaintance
who have not seen each other for years.
October is a delightful season of the year
in which to travel and the Erie is one
of the best roads in the country. =, For de-
