ROBINSON THE MAN
DELEGATE WILCOX SAYS HE Is
APPOINTED
Senator Kalauokalani Receives a Let
ter from Washington About0the First
Circuit Judgeship.

Senator Kalauokalani received a let
ter from Delegate Wilcox yesterday,
stating that w. J. Robinson had been
appointed third judge of the First Cir
cult court. This is taken as good con-
frmation of the Associated Press dis
patch which stated that the appoint
ment had been actually made, and is
cheering news to Robinson and his
friends.
The Kepoikai report remains uneX-
planned, but Robinson is by no means
convinced that he has lost the fight
His appointment, if 1t has been made
will be held up until the Senate meets
again after vacation, and there may be
some efforts to prevent confirmation
but the letter from Wilcox Is sufficient
evidence that Robinson was actually
appointed by the President, and it Is
thought that the appointment will
stand.

FISHING RIGHTS PAU
LITIGATION IS ON TO END
THEM.
Suits to Establish Rights for Which
the Territory VIII Have to Pay
the Owners.

Two more fishing rights suits have
been filed in the First Circuit Court,
for the purpose of establishing fishing
rights in order that they may be con-
demned for the public by the Terri
tory, as provided for by the Organic
Act. One of the new suits, brought by
the Kapiolani estate, involves the fish
ing rights of a large expanse of water
at the Eva end of Honolulu harbor.
In the suit of the Kaplolani estate
against the government the plaintiff
alleges that it is the owner OF the fish
.ery known as the sea fishery of Mokau-
ca, at Kalihi, and that the Organic
Act requires that the right shall be
legally established, by suit brought
within two years from the taking effect
OF the act Another suit, brought by
Victoria Ward, is for the fishing rights
OF Kukuluaeo, belonging to II acres of
land at KewalO. Kinney, BallOu and
McClanahan are attorneys in both
cases.
The Organic Act repealed all the
fishery laws of Hawaii, and declared
that no fishing rights existing should
be valid three years after the act went
into effect unless legally established by
suit to be filed within two years
Where such suits are successful, the
attorney general is to proceed to con-
denim the rights, for public use, and the
Territory is to pay whatever sums are
fixed upon as the value of the rights
Those who claim to have fishing
rights have until June IA to file suits
| to establish their rights. After thai
date the condemnation suits will begin
with the ultimate result that there vii
be no such thing as a private fishing
right in the Territory of Hawaii, as fal
as sea waters are concerned.

TOOMUCH coon TIMETREV, JOHNSON LOOSE !
HIS WIFE SECURES ABSOLUTE
DIVORCE.
Johnson the Man Whose Elopement
With Mary Hoffman a Year Ago
Created a Great Sensation.

NEW YORK, December 21-With as
much secrecy as was maintained by
Rev. James lie Baron Johnson when he
disappeared from this city one year ago
his wife, Mrs. Mabel Van Rensselaer,
Johnson, has obtained decree Of abso-
lutte divorce from him.
While there have been rumors for
months that Mrs johnson intended to
or had brought an action for divorce,
no confirmation of these reports could
be had. The fact is she brought her
suit in the early part of October. The
complaint was served upon her hus-
baud, who put in an answer denying
her charges
The referees report ing that Mrs.
Johnson was entitled to a decree of di-
vorce was confirmed by Judge Scott,
WHO at the same time signed the order
directing that all the testimony be
sealed and not shown to any one bu,
the attorneys Thus the name of the
woman in the case is not disclosed.
When Johnson and Miss Mary Hoff-
man disappeared a year ago they went
to London and for some time lived in
London in elegant style. Nothing has
been heard of them for many months
For a time they lived in France and
the French papers made comments and
criticisms in comparison with which
the hottest things said by the New
York or San L rancisco papers were
tame and cold.

VARIOUS OFFENDERS BEFORE
JUDGE WILCOX
Ingenious Scheme of Frank Correa to
Cause a Noise-Little Boys and Fire
Crackers-Other Cases.

A number of defendants were be-
fore Judge Wilcox It's morning for
having violated some ordinance during
the course of their New Years celebra-
ton yesterday. -Four hnttle boys were
charged with setting off fre-craclSers
on Nuuanu street. 1t appears that the
quartette was near the tramway barn,
where they enjoyed themselves by hav-
ing battle with frecrackers. While
the combatants did not seem to nina
having the lighted crackers thrown on
them, several horses seemed to fear the
fireworks and were dancing and pran-
cling about and causing their drivers
much trouble Judge Wilcox repri-
manded the boys and dismissed them.
Frank Correa had a very funny time
yesterday too, but he chose a more ori-
ginal method. He had a patent ferrule
on the end of a cane and in this ferrule
was a hole where a blank explosive was
placed After loading the weapon Cor
rea would drop it against the sidewalk
and cause an explosion. Then, he would
jump around and look about, as if to
inquire the source of the noise. He was
enjoying this performance on Hotel
street for some time. Captain of Police
Parker stood in that vincinity for some
minutes too, trying to discover ,he cul-
prit. He was nonplussed for a while as
the patent arrangement gave forth
| little smoke. Finally, the officer dis
covered the cane and placed Correa un-
der arrest. The latter was fined $40 and
costs by the court.
A. Buchanan denied to Judge Wilcox
this morning, having set off fire crack
ers on Fort street yesterday. Bucha-
nan admitted having held the bunch in
his hand but said that some one had
come along and jerked them away and
set them off without his aid. The case
was continued until tomorrow morning
Five drunks were fined 81 and costs
each for having been too hilarious witr
New Year liquor John Hina a flower
seller struck a Chinese and was fined

morning Hina was intoxicated when
he met the Chinese.

FRESH VEGETABLES
LEPER SETTLEMENT Is PLANT
ING GARDEN TRUCK.
Expert Foresters Needed by Uncle
Sam-What the Title Really Means
in Qualifications.

Wray Taylor has collection of seeds
ready for superintendent Reynolds of
the Leper Settlement to take up with
him on his next trip which have been
furnished at his own request, Mr., Rey-
nolds who states that the unfortunates
were delighted with a former shipment
that he took up, appreciating the plant
ing and growth of the seeds almost as
much as the resulting vegetables.
The seeds are all for use and not or
nament and consist of a selection OF
edible pulses, beans, carrots, onions
and other common garden truck. With
the new wells and the already fertile
soil the seeds flourish readily at the
| settlement and will eventually prove a
great boon. The varities will be sup
plemented from time to time. Aside
from the taste it is known that the
! fresh vegetable diet is very beneficial
in allaying the ravages of the disease.
Expert Forester Griffiths who is now
in Maui stated before his departure
that the United States was very nard
up for expert foresters and was send
| ing to India to secure them in connec-
ton with this important branch of the
/ agricultural prosperity of the States
and the new territories.
This means the opening up of practi-
cally a new profession in the United
| States while it is one calling for con-
siderable aptitude in scientific pursuits
To many the casual mention of the
! term forester" conveys the idea of a
man who clears away underground
goes round with an axe and gun and
| does a number of other vague inde-
finite things, pursuing what are really
the acts of forest ranger, or wood
man.
In reality numerous requirements
are called into play that need an edu-
cation similar to that of Mr.. Griffith
who is a Yale graduate to successfully
overcome. One must be botanist, or
nithOlogist entomologist and even q
conchOlogist, where land snails and
land crabs are concerned in order tC

and measuring for values Is called in

Wrest the Control Of the United Chinese
Society from the Domination Of The
Chinese Consul General

Chinese Consul General Yang Wei
Pin and the Reform element in the
United Chinese Society, come to an
open and decisive issue at the annual
election of officers held last night. The
reformers won everything and the con-
sui generals forces were routed, horse,
foot, and artillery.
The hall Of the United Chinese So
cie,y on King street was crowded to
its utmost capacity. The constant in
reference in the affairs Of the society
during the past year, at least so the
reformers claimed had made the ques-
ton OF whether the members of the So
ciety should run it's own affairs or al
low them to be dominated by the Con-
sui General, vital issue.
By the bylaws of the society, the
vote for officers for the ensuing years is
limited to the officers and committee
men of the previous year, but members
of the society other than these have the
right of nomination and debate.
OF those entitled to vote for officers
there were forty present last night or

tered thirty three. leaving only seven
votes in favor of the candidates favored

preceded by a lively debate. When the
