preme Court Of the territory as to wheth-
er or not the people of this territory

1895, and June "A, 1900. living in an Amer
lean territory and subject to such laws
as We're not inconsistent with the joint
resolution of Congress, nor contrary to
the constitution of the United States.
The decisions of the local terri

attack upon the constitutional rights OF

IN the death Saturday morning of
Maurice Louisson Honolulu and Ha-
u wall lost another citizen who was
one of the principal factors in the busi-
ness progress of the Islands. As a
member of the firm of NJ. :. Grinbaum
Il CO., Mr.. Louisson was for over thir-
ty-five years actively interested i'm the
business life of Honolulu and had much
to do with its advancement.
The death OF Mr LOuisson was alto
Eether unexpected. Although rs years
of age and retired from active partici-
patton in the corporation of which he
was connected, he did not quite
give up all business cares, and upon his
return from an extended trip abroad "A
month ago, was as ready as ever to re-
sumo his old life. Shortly after his re-
turn he underwent a surgical opera 70
tion, which, in spite of his years, ne
bore remarkably well. \ week ago
stomach troubles complicated his dis
ease and he gradually grew weaker.
Death came as relief Saturday morn
ing at $3.50 o'clock at the residence of
Robert Levers in Waikiki.
Maurice Louisson was born in
Schwersenz, Germany, in 1924, and
spent his early boyhood in that coun-
try. In the early forues, however he
emigrated to America and located in
the Western States. His business ca
reer began by the embarkation in the
dry goods trade in California and
Washington, and before he was Of age
he became a merchant on his own ac-
count. For nearly twenty years he was
engaged in various merchandising en-
terprises along the coast, and in 1866

the mill, and il was decided to start
the engine alone with rush. The To-
comOtive was detached from the train
and was given her head. She went
through the water without dampening
her fires, and secured the jacks at
Eva.
Billman, one of the train hands on
the engine, telephoned that hail stones
as large as ones thumb nail had fallen
at ana in the vicinity of Waimanalo
switch, a phenomenon which was both
unusual and picturesque. He said that
the men Were wet through and shiver-
ing, as the air had turned cold. Super
intendent Denison gave orders for the
$40 y. m. train to go straight on past
Pearl city to Waimanalo, pick up the
passengers on the belated train, and re-
turn to Honolulu. When the rescuing
train arrived at the switch the freshet
had subs,ded, and with the aid of sew
eral planks which had been taken down
from Eva, the passengers We're eX-
changed to the relieving train without
being mired in the mud. The railroad
officials waited at the local station
with extra crews ready for an emer-
gency call, but We're relieved of sus-
pense when the locomotive whistle of
No. IL train, carrying the Waialua pas
sengers, sounded down the track. At
$3.50 the train rolled into the station.
The reports as to the extent OF the
freshet and the hail storm We're con-
firmed by Clerk Doyle, who had gone
down on No. IL. He said that the whole
strip along Eva and Waimanalo had
been caught by the freshet and that
the plantation was practically rid of
its trash and movable cane. He also
stated TO the superintendent that the
report of the hail storm was correct.
part of his report was to the effect
that the only refreshment on the train
was contained in square faced bot
tie.
During the evening several of the
railroad telephone connections We're
burned out, part of the yard switch
board. located in General Passenger
Agent Smiths office, burning out after
particularly bright flash of lightning.
