KAKAAKO PINK TEA ATTEMPTED MURDER.
FIRST SwIPES ENTERTAINMENT
OF THE SEASON.
Police Raid Joint Where Many Native
Men and Women Were Holding High
Carnival-Drunkennes Increasing.

No less than twenty-three cases of
intoxiCation were called in the police
court this morning. All but about three
appeared the trio forfeiting bail Sew
enteen of the number, one of whom
was woman, were arrested by Detec-
tive David KAPPA and Chester Doyle
yesterday afternoon in Kewalo, back
of A. Harrlson's mill, and close to the
Magoon building. The crowd was in
The quarters of a woman named Hattie
Manu-, When the officers and their
posse appeared there were fully thirty
in the crowd, about half a dozen being
women. The outfit had been drinking
swipes, and were holding one of the
old time orgies which used to be SO
familiar an occurrence on Saturdays
and Sundays.
The Manu- woman was charged today
with selling liquor without a license
while the other were arraigned before
Judge Wilcox on charges of drunken
ness. The other woman and two men
retained an attorney to defend them on
charges of intoxication, and all three
escaped on account of it being proved
that they had not been drunk in a pub
lie place The rest of the crowd plead
ed guilty and were fined 81 and costs
each.
The police assert that the calendar
of this morning is but a forerunner of
what those of succeeding Mondays will
be, now that the beer saloons have been
closed Formerly, the natives and 9TH
ers got in and did their drinking with
beer, but now that they cannot get
cheap beer they have begun to return to
their old injurious drinks of swipes. The
gathering which Miss Hattie Manu- is
uccus sed of having given yesterday, was
the first pink tea, a la Kakaako, that
the police have raided, but there will
he others. Three or four NOR" sWipe
joints are also running and, from now
on, the police anticipate having to make
numerous arrests for drunkenness.

ATTACK ON THE
INCOME TAX
THE EXPECTED SUIT FILED IN

TRICT COURT.
LONG LIST OF PLAINTIFFS IN
THE CASE.
Territory In Debt and Getting More
SO and Cannot Repay the Money If
1t Is Collected.

Col. Fitch today filed in the United
States District court the expected suit
against treasurer wright to enjOin him
from proceeding to cOuect taxes under
the income Tax law Of 1901, on the
ErOunu Jnat the law is uncOnstitution-
al. There is a long list of plaintiffs,
who all join in asking the court for an
oruer 10 restrain Lne tax CouectOr from
collecting the tax, alleging that the law
is contrary TO the provisions Of the act
of Congress known here as Organic
Act.
The plaintiffs are: w. c. Peacock &

plaintiff.
1t is alleged that the plaintiffs have
been required by the Treasurer to re-
turn income tax statements under the
law - 1901 and that their aggregate
gross incomes exceed $2,147000, and
their net incomes $4O2,S35, on which the
income tax amounts to $S,0566S. The
tax collector, it is stated, threatens to
collect this sum from the plaintiffs,
proceeding under the authority of the
alleged unconstitutional law.
The money If paid will be a total loss
to the plaintiffs, it is stated, for the
reason that the Territory of Hawaii is
in debt and is conducted at an expense
largely in excess of it's income"
There is a large and constantly in
creasing deficit" says the complaint,
and if the plaintiffs pay over the mon
ey there is little chance that they will
be able to recover.
The question thus submitted to Judge
Estee has already been heard in the
Territorial Supreme Court. 1t was sub
mitted on agreed facts a year ago, and
the Supreme Court handed down a deci-
sion sustaining the income tax law.

DISPOSITIONS STAND
HOGAN MINSTREL TESTIMON
ALLOWED.
Judge Robinson Sustains a Demurrer
In Land Case-Auerbach's Will Au-
mitted - Probate. ~'

Judge Robinson today rendered an
opinion sustaining the demurrer in the
case of Fanny StrauCh VS.. p. Iaukea
The suit was to compel the specific per-
formance of a contract to sell some
real estate in Kewalo, but the Judge
held that demurrer was sustaina Dle
on many different grounds, and prar-
tically disposed lof the suit in his deCi-
sion. The contract to sell the real es-
tate was signed by the plaintiff and
later agreed to by her husband The
court holds that there is nothing in tne
Hawaiian statute to make such an
agreement require the consent Of the
husband, but that the transfer does re-
qure his signature. StrauCh ought
therefore to have been made a defen-
dant to the suit.
In the case of Carlos A. Long VS. G.
Macfarlane ct al Judge Robinson over
ruled the motion to strike from e
files of the court the depOsitiOns of the
Hogan minstrels. The motion was
made on afIidavits of two of the de-
PENDANTS to the effect that they mad
never been given notice of the time ap-
pointed for the taking of the depositions
This is the suit brought by Hogan and
the rest of his company against the
! members of the hui that contracted to
bring the players here. The minstrels
| demand salaries, steamer fare and
other expenses which they claim the
hui promised them and did not put up.
The report of Thomas I. Dillon, as

HO! FOR GAY KAHULUI PIG ATE THE SEALS
ONE OF AMERICAN
CUSTOMS LAWS.
And Nearly Scared Captain of German
Bark Gerda Into Fits-Inspector Dur
fee to the Rescue.

The German bark Gerda. Captain
Siege, arrived in port yesterday morn
ing after long passage Of l56 days
from Bremen. She has 1920 tons of gen
eral cargo for II. Hackfeld and com
pany. On July s when in latitude AZ
south, lontitude % west, the vessel en-
countered a severe gale. A huge wave
swept over the stern of the boat and
unloosened the chart house, jamming
it against the sailor who was at the
wheel. The man was not seriously in
jured however The gale lasted several
hours.
Rough as was the weather about the
Horn, it did not cause Captain Stege
half the fright that his pet mascot did
after reaching port. Customs Inspector
Durfee went aboard the vessel as b aru-
ing officer, and, after making the usual
inspection sealed the matches Of the
vessel and went into the cabin to talk
with the captain. Captain Siege was
relating the discomforts of the voyage
and the delights of Das Fade land.
when suddenly the cabin boy rushed
wildly into the cabin and shouted
"Hoch Der Kaiser, Koom outen Site
der pig eaten dem seals, has, yet al
ready"
Trembling with excitement. the cap
tain rushed out on deck followed by
Durfee who probably thought the
bologna sausages had broken loose and
were running about the deck. 1t was
not such a startling occurrence how
ever, although, for an instant, Captain
Siege, was apprehensive. The pet
mascot pig which the captain had
brought all the way from Bremen had
evidently tired of eating salt horse and
other deep sea food and, happening TO
smell the fresh wax used to seal the
various matches had make a meal of
them Captain Siege was overcome.
He had heard of the strict and won
drous customs regulations of the
United States In fact he had expert
enced them before, and when he saw
that the seals on the matches had been
| broken without proper authority he ma
lturally began to see visions of enormous
| fines or heavy sentences of imprisOn-
ment Some body came to his rescue
| however and suggested that the pig and
not the captain be arrested. Captain
Siege did not know how the customs
officials would take the compromise
He hated to loose his pet yet the poss-
ibility of having to surrender some
hundreds of dollars made his BLONDE
! hair stand on end.
| Inspector Durfee solved the problem
| however, by putting new seals on the
matches while the captain gave orders
to have the pig double ironed and put
into the ships brig until after the
matches would have been broken by au-
| thority.

FELL OFF
REDUCED NUMBER OF TAX
STATEMENTS.
Over Four Hundred People Who Made
More Than 5000 Two Years Ago Off
the List Now.

The number of Income Tax returns
made to Assessor Pratt this year in the
district of Honolulu is over 400 less
than it was last year. Up to August l,
1901, 2,70O returns were filed in the Tax
Office here. The number of returns
made this year up to August l was p
245. Returns are supposed to come
from every person making over $500 a
year.
Inc totals of the statements turned
in have not yet been calculated, but it
is evident from the decrease in the
number of returns that the tax is to be
a good deal less this year than it was
before. The returns that have been
made are for smaller amounts on an
average. The hard times have cut in
comes generally. The fact that nearly
sixth of the number who returned
statements last year did not make
enough to call for a statement at all
this year, is a strong showing of the
dull years business.
The plan adopted last year of sending
an expert to examine the books of con-
Germs which did not make returns, or
which made returns that appear unsat-
isfactory will probably be adopted
again. j. M. Riggs, deputy assessor, is
at work on the statements now. A
large number VI lneul Will nave " De
corrected.
One quite common defect, which is to
the credit of the government, is the
failure to deduct amounts paid last
| year for taxes. Anyone who paid any
taxes mad the right to charge the
amount on their statement of income
with the $1,000 exemption. In a mum
ber of cases this was not done.
The decrease comes largely from the
Chinese and Japanese. They have hac
a hard year, and when the figures are
made up it will be seen that many OF
the Chinese firms that paid income tax
es last year have not been lucky
enough to get in the thousand-dollal
| class this time.
! 1t has been estimated that the tota
tax this time will be not over half o
last years tax. Many of the large Ho
nolulu concerns, which paid the larges
| taxes a year ago, have felt the effects
| of dull times to such an extent tina
their profits have been greatly shaved

A FEW GEMS.

Here are few gems from Mrs. VIII
coX's newspaper:
"yVhen MIR. Wilcox says that the Re
nublicans and Democrats are rotten, ne
means the missionary Republicans ana
the jockey Democrats of these islands.
our missionaries ought to 90 to the
mainland TO learn what Repur icanlsm
is; so i'm that way, it will make lem
more liberal and learn something OF the
world"
"Our Jockey Democrats ought 10 go
to Kentucky and try to learn what De
mocracy is; so in that way some OF the
conceited ideas will be wiped out OIL
their craniums.'

COTTON BROS. TO TRY
PEARL HARBOR DREDGING CON-
TRACT GIVEN UP.
Clark and Henry Win Probably Sell Out
OF the Job-Large Force Day anu
Night.

Arrangements have been made where
by Cotton Pros. will take over the con-
tract for the dredging of Pearl harbOr,
if the government at Washington ap-
proves plans which have been sub
mitted,, and by working day and night,
the firm will try to complete the dredg-
ing of the channel in six months.
Clark and Henry, the firm who be-
gan the work and recently ceased oper-
ations because they found the dredger
they were using was not effectual, have
given up the contract and it is said that
they will sustain a very heavy loss by
reason of the failure of the dredger
they operated. Cotton Bros. have all
the dredgers here and this firm is said
to be the only one in a position to un-
dertake the job now.
If the proposed new contract is ap-
proved Cotton Bros. will send out their
dredgers with force of 40 men and
will work day and night until the en-
trance to the harbOr is made 80 feet
deep. This means the dredging of
about 20 feet of sand, which only a sue
ton dredger can bring up. The sand
extends all the way down, and cannot
be picked up from the bottom, but must
be pumped out,
II is understood that Cotton Bros.
Will take the contract from Clark and
Henry, paying for the amount that has
been done, according 10 the number of
cubic feet taken off the ocean bottom.
The contract should have been nearing
completion now, but with the small
dredger that was used very little pro-
gress was made. The laborers who are
to operate the dredgers will all live at
the scene of their work. The company
will hire large house boat and lodge
the 40 men in it, and they will work in
shifts, day and night.

JURY HAS THE SAY
FEDERAL LAW AS TO MURDER AT
SEA
The Statute More Comprehensive Than
Hawaiis Law-Death or Hard Labor
For Life.

The United States statutes defining
murder on the high seas and providing
punishment therefor, under which the
first case of the kind in Hawaii will
be that of the cabin boy of the schooner
Fred j. Wood, are different in some i'm
portant respects from those of Hawaii,
as we'll as from many of the state laws
on the subject. The necessity of prov
ing a deliberate, premediated murder,
with malice aforethought is not found
in the federal law, which in a brief
section, number 5339, referring to mur-
der on the high seas, or at military
posts, etc, says in the final clause that
ANYONE, who on ocean water malicious
ly strikes, stabs, wounds, poisons or
shoots, at any other person, for which
striking, stabbing woundng poisoning
or shooting such other person dies
either on land or on sea- within or with
out the United States, shall suffer
death"
This was amended 1897 to give the
jury the exclusive say as to whether
the punishment shall be death or life
imprisonment at hard labor. The
amendment says;
BE it enacted that i'm all cases where
the accused is found guilty of the crime
of murder or of rape under section 0o39
or 5345 Revised Statutes, the jury may
qualify their verdict by adding thereto
! without capital punishment and
whenever the jury shall return a ver-
diet qualified as aforesaid the person
convicted shall be sentenced to i'm
prisonment at hard labor for life
There is no murder in the second de-
gree under the federal law. 1t is either
murder or manslaughter and the court
| has no say as TO the punishment of the
| former A verdict of guilty by jury
means the death sentence unless the
! i,,r,t saws otherwise.

WILL WORK AT NIGHT
GEAR OFFERS TO HOLD COURT
NIGHT AND DAY.
Says If Attorneys Want To Have Their
Them.

Judge Gear this morning made an an
nounCement for the benenL OIL attorneys
who want to have their jury waived
cases tried, saying that he was Wiling
to sit day and night if the lawyers
wanted to work, but he diddn't think
that many of the attorneys were very
anxious to get hearings.
Il started in to work from o'clock
in the morning and sat all day without
lunch," said the Judge, but the attor
neys came and complained that the
courts hours were too long"
''They had no right to complain" said
Judge Kaulukou, who was trying to
have a case set for hearing.
"Well they did," said Gear. Il am
ready to work as long as there is Z
case to be heard. III any attorney has
a case he wants heard, will hold court
at O'Clock in thd morning or have d
night session, for the hearing of Jdry-
waived cases. OF course the jury cases
take longer and cannot all be heard,
but there is no reason why any jury
waived case should not be heard.
don't think that very many OF the law
yers are especially anxious to try their
cases that way, but those who are, will
find the court ready"
Gear said he would sit from to
without stopping as he never took any
lunch, Some of the attorneys pr2sens
said that they would call the judge ana
before the present term is over he may
find himself up against some long ses-
sions. There are about 70 cases on the
jury-waived calendar, ana in quite a
number Of the jury cases the attorneys
are willing to waive juries if they can
get speedier trial.
