The Supreme Court this morning de-
cided against the plan proposed by
Judge Humphreys for keeping the Cir
cult Courts going by repaying to the
current expenses appropriation the
sums paid for salaries of bailiffs. The
decision is a short one, unanimous, ard
was reached on the day after the argu-
ment and typewriter ready for sig
natures last Saturday, but the three
justices were not on hand to sign It..
This morning early the decision vas
signed by Acting Chief Justice PERI
and Associates w. o. Smith and j. T..
De Bolt.
The result Of Humphreys appeal
leaves the courts in the same predica-
ment that they were in before Humph-
reys appealed from Auditor Austin.
There is no money to pay jurors in any
of the circuits and no money to pay
bailiffs. Until some way IS found for
securing funds, there is no way to try
the many prisoners who are in jail, or
who may be arrested during the next
few months.
The decision of the court, by Justice
Perry, quotes the bailif act, and as to
Humphreys contention that section o
carries an appropriation says:

TRIALS AND THE JUDGE SAYS IT

TION OF FAT FEES.

The first circuit court Is now up
against the problem Of disposing Of a
long list OF criminal cases which cam
not be tried because there are no jurors
any no money to pay them. The case
OF George Ferris, charged with mur-
der, was set for trial this morning, and
the defense announced that 1t was
ready.
I'VE are ready and under the const-
tuition we have a right to an imme-
diate trial." said Attorney Reynolds,
who appeared for the defense. The at
tOrney stated that he would demand a
trial without waiting till next spring
with his client in Jail. The same
course will be followed in other cases.
and if trials are not had there will be
applica tions for writs Ce habeas cor
pus, on the gound that the defendants
are denied their right to a speedy trial.
The court will make some order re-
garding criminal cases during the term"
said Judge Gear, but l cannot say
what 1t will be. The question of funds
is now up to the Governor. He has
jurisdiction over the only body that can
supply us with funds"
The Ferris case was passed for the
time being, while Gear disposed OF a

The confirmation of sale of the Lanai

up a number of items for separate dis

SAYS BOAT WAS sEAwoRTHY.

Captain Willer the master of the bark
CeylOn which had to be abandoned at
sea on account of her leaking badly
while en- route from Laylan Island to
Honolulu, emphatically denies the re-
port that the vessel was not seaworthy
when she left this port for Laysan ISL
and. He says that the vessel was all
right. In addition to himself, there
were two sailors who had gone in the
vessel before and it is hardly likely that
they would have again shipped on
the bark had they thought her unfit for
sea. Moreover, the boat did not leak
until after she left Laysan Island head
ed this way. Captain Willer says that
it is hardly probable that he would
have taken his wife and child to sea
with him had he known is vessel to be
un seawOrthy.

willing to have the matter reOpened for

PRESERVATION Of
FORESTS URGED BY
Senator BURTON

Senator Burton, now in Ha-
wall, believes in forest preser-
walton. In a recent interview
he said: Irrigation AMI the
storage of waters will no doubt
be the greatest domestic ques
tion before Congress for tn next
twenty-five years. 1t is Jn,v re-
Gently that Congress has turTei
its attention to the preservatljn
of our forests so that they may
be used as great storage reser-
voirs for water. With the des-
truction of our great forests the
number of floods has increased.
The preservation of the forests
is now being conducted on
scientific principles. l think
that the Government is taking
active steps in this direction be-
cause of the many floods in the
Mississippi Valley.
Man cannot make rain, but
when the water is on the land
he can take steps to hold it for
irrigation purposes. A bill has
been passed in the Senate and
will be brought up in the lower
house which Is a twin bill to
the great irrigation bill.
