New Mourning Goods

The new mourning materials, while

colored goods. are extremely attractive
and offer charming possibilities to the
clever modiste, says the Delineatcr
The long haired fabrics, such as zibe-
line and camels hair, are fashioned
into handsome street costumes, pre-
ferably of the two piece order, to be
worn with shirt blouses of some dull
finished silk or soft wooden goods
trimmed with bands Of crepe or lustre-
less silk. These heavy materials may
be procured with duh lustre instead
of the silky surface generally seen.
Camei's hair serge, dull finished chew
lot and Melrose suiting are fashionable
materials for the dress that is to be
worn upon ordinary occasions, and ma
chine stitching and stitched bands ol
mourning silk are the usual trimming

The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1902-03-14

During the interruption while Colonel
Jones was looking for his record. Attor-
ney Smith arose and asked leave to
amend the return. to show that there
was no intention OF showing disrespect
to Judge Gear. and this was allowed.
Humphreys then explained why he
had raised the question in the first
place. 1T was my purpose In calling
attention to this matter to show that
the manifest tendency of the cartoon
was TO sway and Influence the jurors BY
showing that the presiding judge was
in league with these criminals. and
that therefore the Jurymen should take
the bit into their own hands, without
reference to the Instructions or to the
judge
That Is all the evidence we have to
offer" here remarked Davis.
THAT Is of the former trial. said
Humphreys. who evidently expected
further testimony. Davis made no re-
ply.
Mr.. w. O. Smith then announced tnat
he had no evidence TO offer. having re-
Trained from cross-examining the wit
nesses put on the stand by Davis.
Mr.. Davis then began his argument.
quoting frequently from an Ohio decis-
ion in a contempt case. He said that
the court was created by the Organic
Act. and consequently was constitu-
tional court, and that the legislature
not having created the court, could not
limit its powers.
He contended further that the pub
lication was actual contempt, not con-
structfve. and was not a report Of court
proceedings. This was violation OF
the sixth amendment to the constitu-
nra
trial. and the cartoon had interfered
with this right, and tended To bring the
court into ridicule. and interfere with
the proper administration of justice.
He referred to the liberty of the press,
granted by the constitution. but said
that the right to a fair and impartial
trial was more important. and this car
tcon struck at the very fabric or our
institutions. He referred also TO his
own case where he had been sentenced
II prison for attacking the court in I
bill of exceptions. and in which W. o.
Smith, then attorney general. had
prosecuted. The proper way to punish
Judge Gear was by impeachment. said
Davis. and an appeal to the President.
and II he had done anything TO justify
II. to call meeting of the bar and pre-
fer charges.
Judge Gear has done the best he
could under all the circumstances, and
with a meager salary of but $3.50 per
month" said Davis. He stated that
Gear had done nothing for which he
should be libelled. and had no reason
for wishing 10 free criminals. but that
this cartoon had overstepped the
bounds. had brought the editor into ae-
tive contact with the court. He closed
with a reference 20 the ''disgraceful, b
belous and scandalous cartoon. and
said that ". G. Smith was the only re-
sronsible party. while behind him sat
those who egged him or. in an attempt

TO throw the community into disorder.
The proper way to secure Gears re-
moval. he said, was through an appeal
to the President. Il feel that the court
ought to be treated with respect.
whether / like the judge or not. If the
court is not a proper party To sit upon
the bench. charges should be prefer
red" continued Davis; but it seems to
me that his character has been pretty
well sifted by this time. though he is
not an angel" Gaughter)
Davis closed with a long harangue
about his own professional honor. and
how he had always treated the courts
with respect, adding, by way of an
afterpiece. a few shafts aimed at the
attorney general.
Mr.. A. Lewis followed with a brief
argument. confined almost wholly to
the legal aspect OF the case. He said
that they relied upon two simple prop
ositions-that il was not within the
power of the court to punish for con-
structiVe contempt. that the court was
formed by the laws promulgated by the
legislature of Hawaii, which laws had
received the sanction of Congress, and
that there can be no punishment for
constructive contempt. The courts took
their powers from the Legislature. and
certainly also must be limited by the
same laws. He contended that the car
toon referred 10 the first Mccarthy
case. which was not pending. and there
was no knowledge on the part of the
respondent that the case was again on
trial.
The case having been concluded and
the decision rendered. there could be
no contempt: and Mr.. Lewis quoted
in, fo
cago American case, wherein Andy
Lawrence had been sentenced for con-
tempt and released. He quoted from
the decision to show the freedom of the
press. and the right to criticize the
action of any judge. just as well as OF
the President or of the governor. This
cartoon was entirely in reference to
the first case as alleged in the return,
and the affidavit of Mr.. Smith was un-
contradicted.
The editor of a paper is presumed
to know what appears in his paper.
said Judge Gear. Here in the same
issue is a half-column article on the
second trial of Mccarthy"
The court will take judicial knowl-
edge of the fact that it is impossible
TO delegate the absolute control of ev-
erything that appears in the modern
newspaper to one man." added Judge
Humphreys. land the editor disclaim-
ing knowledge of the publication is no
more censurable than would be the
general manager CT a railroad IL one of
its conductors assaulted a passenger a
hundred miles down the road
Mr.. Lewis in conclusion said that the
answer Of Mr.. Smith was conclusive.
being uncontradicted. and If he did not
ten the truth he was liable 10 indict-
ment for perjury.
". O. Smith said that as member
Of the bar he wished 10 disclaim any
intention of attacking the authority Of
