HABEAS CORPUS
BROOKS AND
DAVIS
Ask EStee to Release B, H.
Wright on the Ground That
Excessive Bail is ReQuir-.
ed,

United States Judge Estee this
morning issued a writ of habeas cor
pus on a petition by b. II. Wright who
claims to be confined in Oahu Jail under
a demand for excessive bail and denied
his constitutional right to a speedy
trial. The application for a writ was
presented by the old habeas corpus
team George A. Davis and f. NJ. Brooks
The judge made it returnable at two
o'clock this afternoon. High Sheriff
Brown, Warden Henry and Deputy At
torney General Cathcart were served
with copies of the courts order direct
ing them to bring Wright into court at
two o'clock this afternoon. Wrights
petition was as follows:
The petition of Benjamin II. Wright
a prisoner now confined, imprisoned and
restrained in Oahu convict prison, COM
plains and represents to your Honor
and upon his oath alleges as folows:'
That he is now unlawfully impri-
soned in the said prison and is in the
custody of the Warden of said prison
and A. NJ. Brown, High Sheriff of the
Territory of Hawaii, under an indict-
ment fround against him by the Grand
Jury of the Circuit Court of the First
Circuit, Territory of Hawaii found at
the November Term, A. d. 1902 of the
said circuit court on a charge of EN-
beZzlement and said Imprisonment and
detention of the petitioner is unlawful
in that excessive and unreasonable bali
has been demanded, contrary to the
Constitution of the United States and
in violation of the rights of the petit
toner under the constitution of the
United States, and that the said Peti-
toner has been denied the right of a
speedy trial he having been arrested
and imprisoned for the said offence on
the 9Th of September A. D. 1902 and be-
ing imprisoned since that time under
the said charge of embezzlement and
having been committed for trial in
September A. D. 1902
That the constitutional rights of this
petitioner have been and are denied
him and said Imprisonment is therefore
unlawful.
THAT Your petitioner is poor; has no
property of any kind and is wholly uu-
able to furnish the bail demanded, to
wit the sum of six thousand dollars.
while said amount is excessive and un-
reasonable hail.
Your petitioner therefore prays that
your Honor issue a writ of Habeas
Corpus and. therein require, command
and direct the said Warden of the said
Prison and the High Sheriff of the Ter
ritory to produce my body before you
at time and place therein named and
upon the return thereon L may be re-
leased and discharged from such i'm
prisonment or released upon reasonable
bail being furnished in accordance with
the Constitution of the United States
and your petitioner will ever pray,
"B. II. WRIGHT"
Wright's bail was fixed at $4,000, on
| the second charge against him, by
| Judge Gear. His attorneys made an
I appeal to Chief Justice Frear for a re-
| duction of bail, and it was refused.

ASK A PARDON FOR
GEORGE FERRIS
HIS ATTORNEY APPLIES TO GOV.
DOLE ON THE GROUND OF
MERCY TO A SICK MAN.

An application for a pardon for
George H. Ferris, the condemned MUIR
derer, was made this morning to Gov
ernor Dole, by e. c. Peters, attorney
for the condemned man. The apPlica-
tion was based upon the murlerer's
physical condition, which, as stated
yesterday, is such that there Is much
doubt whether he will live to pay the
laws penalty for his crime.
In view of Ferris condition it was
represented that as he is not likely to
live long anyhow and has already suf-
fered greatly, as is evidenced by his
physical condition, it would be an act
of mercy to allow him freedom for the
short time he has TO live. The Cover
nor, however, does not take this view,
and the murderer will probably have
to remain and serve his sentence, un-
less his appeal to the Supreme Court
proves effective.
Ferris may be allowed more prison
latitude in view of his increasing weak
ness. The Governor stated this NORM
ing that he would make an investiga-
tion and ascertain whether the con-
demned man really has consumption as
is stated and If so Ferris may be allow
ed more freedom for exercise and fresh
air than is ordinarily the lot of a man
condemned to death, but If he lasts
long enough, he must die on the gall
lows just the same.

KOEBELE'S WORK
IS FINISHED
WILL RETURN FROM MEXICO
EARLY NEXT YEAR - SENDS
MANY SHRUBS AND FLOWERS.

Commissioner of Agriculture Wray
Taylor received fifty packages of seeds
on the China from Professor Koebele.
The varieties include climbers, shrubs
and flowers of various Kinds selected
by Koebele while in Mexico with a view
to their fitness for this climate and
their general utility.
A part of the trip laid down by Koe-
belle has had to be abandoned. 1t was
his original intention to proceed to
Vera Cruz, there to look into lantana
conditions, but the presence of an epi-
demic of yellow fever in that town
made it impossible to be Visited.
1t is likely that Professor Koebele
will return to Hawaii early next year.
He has announced his intention of ar
irving in the Alameda by the end Of
this year. This means either that he
has obtained all the data that he con-
siders necessary OF that the present
scope of work is at an end through
natural conditions owing to the change
of seasons.
Some, considerable time will be taken
up in Encouragement and arrival at
conclusions concerning lantana pests,
and Professor Koebele may decide to
carry out that part of his program
while on the coast. His last letters
have all been hopeful and expressive of
belief that the lantana scourge can be
stayed in Hawaii,

ON
BUILDL!NG S!IEE
HOLDS SESSION

An animated meeting of the commit
tee appointed by the Governor to look
into the question of federal buildings
and. suitable sites was held in
the directors room of Alexander &
Baldwin. Besides the committee, 9TH
ers interested in the movement were
present and in the future all meetings
will be held in the legislative hall of
the Capitol building, it being the belief
of the committee that the matter is one
of general interest and public impor-
tance. The attendance of everyone
who is interested in public affairs and
can be present is requested by the COM
mittee.
Those present this morning were L.
A. Thurstoh, F. A. Schaefer, F. w.
Macfarlane, A. Gartley, David Kawa-
nanakoa, S. X. Kane, Matt Heffern, j.
NJ. Oat and G. r. Carter of the COM
mittee, Governor Dole General Hart
WELL w. L. Hopper and p. NJ. Dodge.
On the meeting being called to order
Chairman Thurston named the follow
ing sites as being already presented for
consideration: Union Square, taking in
the whole block to Alakea street; the
Bishop Estate property, opposite the
Alexander Young building, and taking
in the Bulletin office; the property Of
tian church now stands; the old Hop
per residence on King, Punchbowl and
Likelike streets; the Lewis block, maui
ka of the present post office, and the
Irwin property, now utilized by the
Pacific Tennis Club.
Discussion brought suggestion from
Mr.. Macfarlane that the post office be
placed near or on the waterfront
where facility for handling mails with
less expense to the federal authorities
could be established.
George Carter thought the citizens
too tied to old customs and habits,
and was afraid the discussions would
lead up to the building being a bone of
contention. Arguments were sure to
be raised against the appropriation in
Congress by men anxious to secure ev-
erything for their own states, and uni
ty was the great thing. What was
needed was a building first of all, even
if it's site did not suit everybody.
Feeling that citizens generally would
be liable to argue against any decision
arrived at by the committee, it was
moved to make committee representa-
ton as complete as possible so
that nobody could advance arguments
sented in time. Representatives from
the Chamber of Commerce Merchants
Association, Builders and Traders
Exchange, Planters Associa ton, Sur
vey Department, Collectors Chamber
lain and Stackable, Captain Whiting.

is, Commissioner Jared Smith, Judge
Estee, District Attorney Breckons, Sen
ator Kalauokalani, as representative OF
Delegate Wilcox; Secretary II. e. Coop
er, Delega te-elect Kuhio and Governor
Dole are added to the list, with the re-
quest that all who are interested and
wish to have a voice in the matter
shall also be present at all meetings,
which are open.
Governor Dole, who leaves town on
friday, stated his opinions on request
of the committee. He was in favor of
the Federal building, as far as the
courts and perhaps the post office be-
ing concerned, being on the Union
Square site, if obtainable. The post Of
flee on it's present site might however
be convenient for long time to come.
The Territorial government would be
ready to extend all facilities in the ex-
change or making over to the Fed
eral government of the present govern
ment property on the post office site,
including the Honolulu Hale. In this
matter the Governor and the President
alone have the right of decision.
George Carter recommended a build
ing to cover all the heads of custom
house courts, offices and post office,
and suggested that an excellent place
would be on the esplanade where
handsome building would be a sign
board of American occupation and en-
terprise to every passing vessel. Sueh
a site would be but a short way from
the judiciary building would help the
facility of mail reception as suggested
by Mr.. Macfarlane and be equally av-
aiable for the customs department.
What was wanted more than anything
was unanimity of civic action. No one
site would please everybody. Congress
would be far more likely to make the
appropriation for one building than to
pay for three sets of walls and roofs,
but wherever the site was to be unity
of desire was everything now.
Mr.. Hopper presented a plan of his
mothers property on King street which
has a school lot back of it. The prop
erty consists of about 10000 square feet.
The following committees We're ap-
pointed to look into the properties spe-
Gifted, obtain maps, measurements, dis
positions of owners for sale or ex-
. change and conditions of price or trade.
They will make a special effort and re-
port tomorrow morning in the legisla-
tive hall of the Capitol in open public
meeting at IL o'clock
Union Square site, Gartley and Ka-
ne; Allen property, Macfarlane and

Young Building, Thurston and Hef-
fern, (head of the Honolulu Trades
Council; Lewis block, j. NJ. Oat; Hop

UNCLE JOE is
NOW WITH US
CONGRESSMAN CANNON SAID TO
HAVE WITHDRAWN HIS OPPO-
SITION TO THE FIRE CLAIMS.

According to advices received from
Washington Uncle Joe" Cannon, the
watchdog Of the treasury in Congress
last session, has Withdrawn his opposi-
ton to the Hawaiian fire claims bill
Cannon is the Congressman who defeat
ed the bill in the last session, after it
had passed the senate. He was chair
man of the committee on Appropria-
tions and as such welded an influence
that was fatal to the proposition in the
last days of the session.
During vacation the matter has not
been lost sight of at Washington and
it is now stated that Cannon no longer
opposes the bill. He is almost certain
to be the Speaker of the House this
time. Those who are especially inter
ested in the measure here have received
the most encouraging reports, and re-
gard it as extremely likely that Ha-
wall will get the million dollars asked
for, to pay off the fire claims.
In his message to Congress President
Roosevelt supported the proposition in
the following words
81 commend to the favorable con-
sideration of the congress the Hawaiian
fire claims, which were the subject of
careful investigation during the last
session." .... .

WHAT is A COUGH?

A spasmodic effort to expel the mu-
Gus from the bronchial tubes. A cold
causes a more abundant secretion Of
mucus, and when the lungs and bron-
ehial tubes are inflamed, they are eN-
tremely sensitive to the irritation. I'm
less care is taken, the cold may result
in pneumonia, which is swift and dead
ly. If the cold is a lingering one, the
more leisurely but equally fatal con-
sumption may set in. Do not neglect a
cold or cough. Take Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. 1t always cures and
cures quickly. All dealers sells it. Ben

OLD TEAM
AT WORK
A BURIED HATCHET
NOT SUPPOSED TO
BE CARRIE NATIONS

/ OAKLAND, Nov. 2S.-A hat
chet, the blade of which is made
of copper and the handle of iron
was found this morning by j. p.
Brinton, who was watching men
at work on his property exca-
waiting for a foundation for a
new building which he is about
to erect at the corner of Twen-
ty-third avenue and Montgom-
cry street. The hatchet, or to-
mahawk, was about two feet be-
low the surface of the ground,
and from it's appearance had
been in the earth for many
years. The iron handle, which
was neatly fastened about the
hatchet, is badly rust eaten but
still strong.
To what race of people the in
strument belonged and how
many years it has been buried
there is matter of conjecture.
1t is Brinton's intention to pre-
sent it to the University. He
thinks it belonged to an extinct
tribe of Indians, once inhabit-
ing this coast.

THE NATURAL ENEMY
OF THE CUT WORM
IS TURNED LOOSE

An experiment is being start
ed today which, If successful,
will gladden. the hearts of the
many growers of garden truck
in the territory who have, up to
the present, been forced in many
instances to abandon their in
dustries or felt almost too dis
couraged to attempt further
planting. This is the introduce
ton of the natural enemies of
the cut worm.
Yesterday a consignment of
parasites of the worms were
sent to the Wahiawa colony and
will be turned loose this morn
ing. r. c. L. Perkins has been
carefully rearing these speci-
mems, having made the discov-
cry of some means of eXtermin-
ating the cut worms a special
study. Several fleurishing farms
have been abandoned in the
Territory owing to the combin-
ed attacks of the cut worms and
the potato blight and every eff
fort is being put forth to pro-
vide a remedy for both.

FOR HAWAII

WASHINGTON, November 28.-Sen-
ator Foster of Washington, a member
of the Senatorial committee that visit
ed Hawaii in September, intimated to-
day that the committee would recon-
mend that Chinese labOrers be admitted
to Hawaii in limited numbers for time
in order to relieve the labor situation
there.
Labor conditions are bad in Ha-
waii," said Senator Foster There
Is a great scarcity of workmen on the
sugar plantations, and every industry
in the islands feels the effects. Whites
will not work in the cane fields, and
Japanese are very unsatisfactory The
expirement of importing Porto Ricans
was a failure. The people tell us that
Southern negroes would be equally as
unsatisfactory, even If they could be
prevailed upon TO go there. Chinese
labor is the only solution of the prob
lem in the opinion of the people of the
islands. The committee has not COM
pleted it's report and l cannot say def
nitely what we shah recommend"

Patron saint Of Lawyers.

Who is the patron saint Of lawyersl Is a
question that might pertiuently be asked
on day when both bench and bar attend
their devotions prior to the opening Of the
law courts. According to one old story
not least liked by lawyers, who always en-.
JOY joke against their profession--a fa-
nous Brittany lawyer once appealed to
Rome for the appointment Of saint The
Pope proposed that he should go round
certain church blindfolded and lay hold of
the saint nearest to hand. Following this
suggestion he stopped and grasped GER
tain figure crying This be our patron
saintl When the bandage was removed
from his eyes he found that though he had
stopped before the altar Of ST. Michael, 20
his horror he had laid hold, not Of 81.

THE sHYLOcKs
And the Interest Exacted Con-
demned For Almost Two Thous-

The following communication is written
evidently in the interest of some money
loaning shark of the Horuing type who
generally manages to collect in interest
more than the original loan. We give it
space, however:
Editor Sunday Globe.
The subject came up in my boarding
house the other evening:
What was the best way to end what
just bill WASP"
Not long ago l went to a note broker and
got loan of $40. paid him 10 per cent
The money was obtained from a party who
had money in the bank and was glad to
have it bringing 6 per cent. per annurn. /
went to the broker; he did not come TO me.
Our chief clerk said didn't have to paw IT.,
so for the time didn't hut was sued, and
when the judge said it was just paid it
and felt better.
There are in the War Department, In.
terror Department, Department of Justice
and even in the Supreme Court, profes.
sional money borrowers, who, lik c beggars.
stop at no promise when obtaining the
money from the people, and I say that
when the lower courts say the debt is lust
one, the chief Of the department should
make the clerk pay up.
The judge hears both sides, while the
chief hears only the tale Of woe from the
clerk, and his jragment should be final.
Mr.. Elliott, have on file every copy of
your valuable paper, and will continue,
even though you say nothing in this matter.
Most respectfully,
w. P. BROWN.
The fact that because a man or woman
is hard up and forced By necessity to nego-
tiate a loan, is no justification for pro.
fessional or departmental shylocks to
gouge them and exact usurious in-
terest. The Lord had special anipa-
thy to the money changers and ex-
acters Of usurious interest, and that class Of
gentry will find it much more difficult to
qualify themselves for harp and robe
than the rich man who is required to per-
form a feat equal TO a camel passing through
the eye Of a ueedle.-ED. GLOBE.
