TO WADE THROUGH
A HUNDRED. BOOKS
JUDGE GEAR WILL BE BUSY FOR
SOME TIME TO COME-THREE
DAYS ARGUMENT.

The case of Dole VS.. Dole is to be
submitted to Judge Gear this week on
briefs. The suit has brought out one Of
the longest legal arguments had here
for some time, and the authorities quot
ed to Judge Gear make up a pile of
over a hundred law books which the
judge is now going through 1t will
probably take two or three weeks to
reach a decision.
The point raised is a new one in Efa-
wall, and was argued for over three
days by w. l.. Stanley for Dole and E.
NJ. Watson for Mrs. Dole. The main
contentious are as to whether a suit
can be brought for separate mainte-
nance, where no divorce Is asked. In
this case a divorce suit was impossible,
as the parties have not both lived here
for two years, and it is claimed by the
defense that no separate maintenance
suit can be brought, there being no
authorization of such suit in the laws
of Hawaii. The attorneys ransacked
legal records from many states and
territories, and came out about even,
with about fifty volumes a side for the
judge to go through.

is based on the ground that the injunc-

ther ground that the second circuit
court has full jurisdiction in the matter
and should not be interfered with. The

ing. for the first time after consider
able interval. Governor Dole, Secre-
tary Cooper, Attorney General Dole,
Land Commissioner Boyd and Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction A. T. At

TAMPERING WITH
MAIL IS SERIOUS
JEAN sABATE SENTENCED TO
THREE YEARS HARD LABOR
DIsTILLER GIVEN SIX MONTHS.

United States Judge Estee gave three
sentences this morning, the heaviest
being in the case of Jean Sabate, who
was found guilty on eleven charges Of
delaying opening or OBTAINING United
States mail matter committed to his
charge as a carrier for delivery. The
sentences imposed aggregate three
years at hard labor, separate sentence
being given on each of the eleven
counts in the Indictment
Manuel Vierra, who pleaded guilty
to running an Illicit still, in order to
save his wife from prosecution, was
the first defendant sentenced. Judge
Stanley made a plea for leniency. He
said that Vierra had been in the ISL
ands for 26 years, and had never been
in trouble with the authorities before.
He had always been a good citizen, and
Stanley thought that the court would
subserve the ends of justice by giving
the minimum sentence.
The court has been in the habit of
giving the minimum penalty" said
Estee, "and it does not seem to have
been any monitiOn. l don't doubt that
the defendant has been a good citizen,
but he can't be a good citizen and run
as Illicit distillery."
Vierra was sentenced to pay the
statutory penalty of $780, fine of $l0O
ana 10 SIN months imprisonment at
hard labor.
Sabate was called next The court
went through the eleven counts in the
indictment under which ne was found
guilty, and gave a separate sentence
under each, to begin at the expiration
of the previous one. 1t was six months
under the first count, and three months
for every count after that, making SO
months in all. Sabate appeared to be
greatly affected by the sentence, and
on the point of a breakdown. The max
imum was eleven years and a fine of
$500. There are three more indict-
ments against Sabate, which will be
dropped, in the federal court, and an
other indictment for larceny is pending
against him in the First Circuit Court.
Tong Pong, convicted of running
still, on two counts, was ordered to pay
the $500 penalty, a fine of 800 and to
be put at hard labor for three months
on the first count, and on the second
count he was given a fine of $500 and 8
months.
Judge Estee excused the jurors to to-
murder case will be taken up. 1t is eX-
pected that there will be a har1 con-
test over Tanbara, and the selection
of jury may require some time, as
the defense is allowed 20 peremptory
challenges. The work of getting jury
begin tomorrow morning, with % jurors
to choose from, but it is thought that
more will have to be summoned be-
fore twelve men satisfactory to both
sides are secured.

TOO MANY PORTO
RICANS IN TOWN
BY JUDGE WILCOX
SENDS ONE OVER TO OAHU
JAIL FOR THREE MONTHS.

There are altogether too many POr-
to Ricans coming into Honolulu" said
Judge Wilcox this morning. The po-
ice will have to bring them in so that
the Porto Ricans can be distributed
to the outside districts again. The
Porto Ricans seem to think they can
come here and loaf"
This observation was made this
morning by Judge Wilcox in a case of
vagrancy where Demencio Rodrigues
was on trial. Rodrigues claimed tndt
he had been working for Moki, one of
the lei sellers. Mok said that the de-
fendant had formerly been in his em-
ploy but had grown tired and done no
work. Detective Kaapa testified to
having seen the defendant wasting
time about the city. The court sem
tenced Rodrigues to three months at
hard labor.
Pedro Rodrigues, a Porto Rican, a
darky, was before Judge Wilcox this
morning to answer to a charge of hav-
ing stolen some clothes and other arti-
cles of value from Lieutenant Colonel
Maurs and also a case knife from Lieu
tenant General Nelson A. Miles. The
articles were produced in court as evil
dence. The case was continued until
Wednesday.
Rodrigues is lean, lank, hungry
looking niger, and was quite indiffer-
ent in his manner while in court. With
hands in his pocket, Rodrigues stood
before Judge Wilcox. Better take
your hands out of your pocket" re-
marked the court, you may have to
dig down in your pockets after your
case has been heard"

HAMA IS NEGOTIATING
FOR HAMOA
LANDS
MAY INCREASE ITS ACREAGE BY
ADDING SOME OF THE LANDS
ABOUT TO BE ABANDONED TO
SUGAR CULTIVATION.

Hama Plantation is negotiating for
the lands of Hamoa Plantation.
These lands were to have been offer
ed at auction at noon today by James
f. Morgan, in lots to suit purchasers.
But the sale was postponed until fur
ther notice, and meanwhile negotia-
tions for the sale of all of them to
Hama Plantation are going on. The
negotiations involve correspondence
with representatives of Hama Planta-
ton on the coast, and hence it may
be some little time before a definite
conclusion Is reached.
The owners of Hamoa Plantation
same time ago decided to abandon ii
as plantation, it having proved un-
profitable at present low prices of SUI
gar, the plantation being a small one
and the expenses of operating high.
Some of the land owned by Hamoa is
near Hama Plantation and it is believ-
ed by the agents of the latter that 1t
can be profitably cultivated in connec-
tiOn with other lands of Hama Plan
tation. To so cultivate it would be
merely to increase the acreage of Hama
without having to maintain additional
mill or other plant Hama Plantation
is largely owned on the coast and the
negotiations for the purchase of these
lands must be carried on from there.
The lands in question are principally
in small parcels of. a few acres each
in several native land districts, there
being about thirty-five parcels in al
amounting to about All acres.
