CLAIMANT DEFEATED

LONDON, February 15-The Lord
Chief Justice, Baron Alverstone, re-
fused today to reopen the case of POu-
lett VS.. POulett, in which ViscOunt
Hinton, who at one time played an or
gan in the streets of London, sought
to GUST his step-brother, the youthful
Earl POulett from the family estates.
The Lord Chief Justice thus confirmed
the previous judgment in the case,
whereby it was declared that VisCount
Hinton, under a family settlement en-
tered into in 1858, was debarred from
claiming the property in dispute.
When William Henry, Earl POulett,
died in London January o. 1899, the
succession to his title and estates
came into dispute. The old Earl was
thrice married and the Organ-grinding
claimant to his estate declares himself
to be his eldest son by Miss Elizabeth
Virginia Newman, daughter of a Land
port pilot, whom the Earl married in
1S49. The Earls second marriage was
without issue. In 1879 he contracted
a marriage, his third, with Rose de
Melville, daughter of Alfred Hugh de
Melville, and the son of this union now
enjoys the estates and property,
The alleged Earl Poulett has long
lived among the London poor, support
ing himself by organ grinding. He has
given some study to the matter of the
housing of the London masses, with
whose life and hardships he is person
ally familiar. The old Earl never con-
cealed his hatred for his organ grind
ing SON. whom he characterized as an
impOstOr. He was so opposed to his
eventually enjoying his estates that he
attempted so to entail and mortgage
them during his lifetime that even If
ViscOunt Hinton were successful in his
efforts to be recognized as the lawful
heir there would be little, if any, prop

son by his third wife enjoys the estates
and uses the title his claim thereto
has never until now been confirmed by

OF OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES SHIPS uEHH CURE TRIAL MSR WANTED WARREN BGNEE

Rlthet, "a Days Each

From what Captain Barneson Of the
transport Warren which arrived this
morning says, sailing vessel bound TO
this port from San Francisco and other
coast ports will make very long passa-
ges. From the time the Warren poked
her nose out of the Golden Gate until
she was within a few hundred miles
of Honolulu she had to buck strong
southwesterly gale I'm her teeth. Heavy
and confused seas prevailed constant
ly, and the trip was most disagreeable
thrOugout
There are now four sailing vessels on
the way from San Francisco to this port
and every one of them is out longer
than usual. The bark Kaiulani is out
2G days the barkentine Coronado, 26
days and the bark, r.. p. Rithet and
barkentine. s. c. Wilder, "a days each.
The bark Kaiulani was reported to
have left San Francisco with a full
load but judging from the way in which
sailing vessels have come here recently,
IL is very possible that some of the
others may not be very heavily loaded.
Such a possibility causes some anxiety,
for the reason that in order to battle
with the heavy gales and terrific seas
which the steamers report, the vessels
should be well into the water whereas
If their cargoes are light the boats will
be high out of the water and Will have
more difficulty in weathering the heaNy
and continual storms.
Experienced sea captains who are
well acquainted with the route between
San Francisco and this port, say that
the storm which appears to be prevail
ing is the worst they have ever eucouu-
tered in that section of the Pacific.
There is no doubt but the sailing Ves-
sells are having hard time bucldng the
storm There is a possibility however
that they are not meeting with quite
as rough weather as the steamers have
encountered because the sailing route
is further west than the track Of
steamers and the sailing craft may
have found the weather not so severe.
The extent or width of the storm rs not
known so it is impossible to estimate
with any degree of certainty, whether
the sailing boats could have gotten out
of it.
There is of course no immediate cause
for alarm over the fate of the vessels
but the knowledge that ships are fight
ing terrific storms is not especially re-
assuring.

JUDGE GEAR ISSUES A BENCH
WARRANT.
Difficulty in Getting Interpreter for the
Ohita Case-Chief Justice Frear APP
pears as a Witness.

A bench warrant was issued this
morning in the First Circuit court for
Addison Misner. the artist. Misner was
one of those summoned as a juror for
the present term of court. He persuad-
ed the court to excuse him on the
ground that he was about to take the
bark Andrew Welch on cruise trip to-
San Francisco, but the lnlrew WelCh
has gone and Misner remains. When
Judge Gear heard of it judicial wrath
began to kindle and a warrant was
promptly issued for the artist. Misner
was ordered brought into court this
afternoon
After disposing of Misner and his
possible contempt the court resumed
the hearing of the trial of Ohita for ma
liCiOus injury j. A. LuCCa, the COM
planning witness, took the stand to
resume his testimony, which occupied
all of yesterday afternoon. Assistant
Attorney General DOuthitt suggested
an Interpreter, as LuCCa was not very
good at English, and a queer tangle Of
languages was revealed. Lucca said he
preferred Italian, but French was all
right. His wife's preference was for
Portuguese LuCCa can get along with
Greek, and if necessary is willing to
talk i'm English
Judge Gear picked out Tarn McGrew
one of the jurors not on a panel. and

French McGrew was duly sworn and
LucCas examination was concluded i'm
French When Mrs Lucca took the
stand there was more difficulty over in
depreciation. Clarance Smith was final
ly sworn i'm to act as Italian interpre-
ter.
Ohta is charged with having started
to tear down a house which he built
for Lucca. 1t appeared from the .estt-
mOny that when the house was finished
Lucca had some complaints to make,
and he declined to settle up until Ohta
made some improvements on the Job.
Ohta decided to undo his work rather
than leave it stand unpaid for, and he
proceeded to tear down the house. The
defense is by e. NJ. Brooks. 1t is claim
ed that Ohta did not act under motives
Of malice, but thought he was within
his rights i'm tearing down the house
when it was not paid for.

THE COURSE SETTLED
RACE ARRANGED FOR THIRD
CLASS YACHTS
First Glass Sloops to Race Next month
ing Figured.

The next trial heat for the Port Cap
tains trophy has been decided upon
for Saturday week, the course to be
from the lighthouse to a stake boat
moOred off Castle residence at Diamond
Head, thence back to another stake
boat off the Quarantine Station, around
the bell buoy, finishing at the spar
buoy.
The reason for not continuing the
race to finish at the light house lies in
the fact that, beating in against the
trades, the chances are not even and
one boat perhaps five minutes ahead of
the rest over the course reckoning by
true sailing qualities, may get under
the lee of the big quarantine shed or
some other building and be passed by
another boat coming i'm with a puff of
wind This state of affairs has often
been experienced by the yachtsmen
and the elimination of its possibility by
the committee will be appreciated by
the owners.
The time allowances for this and the
other courses will be published this
week although jail of the measurements
have not yet been made according to
the regulations. As far as they have
been worked out the unsuccessful trial
heat round the Ford Island course still
finds the Princess the winner on cor
rected time although the Malihini Is
within a very few seconds of her. her
racing length being a trifle less than
that of the Princess which is exactly
the same as that of the Columbia. The
Myrtle gets by far the greatest allow
ance of several minutes over that
course, not sufficient however to place
her one two although she will come
very closely to third place. The ac-
tual measurement by survey Of the
course has so far prevented the an
nuuncement of the leading boat, but
this will be published i'm response to the
request of the members, although Off
cially the race was not recognized.
The next race, to take place some Sa-
turday afternoon within the next month
will be participated in by the first class
slOOps. There should be five entries
the Gladys. La Paloma, Helene, Mary
L and possibly the Hawaii, is Judge
Wilcox seems to prefer going I'm the
first class although he is entitled to race
in the second. This race will create
unusual interest. The course has not
yet been decided upon but the race Is
settled thing and it is hoped that
the five available yachts will partici-
pate.

ON THE ROAD
TO RECOVERY

GROTON CMassD, February 15.-The
latest report from the sick room of the
three sick students are favorable. Mrs.
Roosevelt stated this afternoon that
her son was doing splendidly. Should
now new complications arise, it is Mrs.
Roosevelt's belief that she will be able
to take her son to Washington some
time next week. Miss Alice Roosevelt
arrived at Groton this afternoon, ac-
companied by the steward of the White
House. She was driven to the infirm-
ary of the school, where she was cor
daily greeted by Mrs. Roosevelt and
Teddy, the latter seeming delighted to
see his sister.
Mother and sister remained by the
sick boys bedside during nearly the
entire afternoon and evening, leaving
shortly before 8 o'clock for the resi-
dence of Dr.. Gardner, their home While
in Groton. There is every reason to
believe the patient will pass very
comfortable night A medical review

day shows that the boy became in as

THE DESERTION law
GEAR AGAIN HOLDS IT TO BE
UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
a Japanese Woman Whom an Eva
Judge Sentenced to Hard Labor for
Leaving Her Husband.

Judge Gear roasted the old Hawaiian
desertiOn law again this morning, de-
claring it unconstitutional and a law
imposing unfit duties upon the judi
ciary. The matter came up in the case
of a Japanese woman named Full, who
was sentenced to two weeks hard labor
by Judge HOokanO of Eva, last Satur-
day for deserting her husband.
The woman was brought into court
by habeas corpus proceedings. She
brought a small child with her and
the yOungster enjoyed himself explor-
ing the courtroom while Gear knocked
tie old Hawaiian law.
"The law gives the judiciary duty
never imposed on courts in any part of
the world, to my knowledge" said
Judge Gear. "The statute says that
the judges shall plead with the hus-
bands and wives and endeavOr to bring
about reconciliations, imposing no SEN
tences when they are successful in
80 doing 1t is beyond the power of any
court staute to impose anything but
judiciary duties upon court, and IT
Is beyond, the police power of any state
to force husbands and wives who do
not agree to live together"
BY this time the Japanese youngster
had climbed up the steps leading to the
bench, and was making for the judge S
ter her boy in time to drag him back
from the sacred spot, and Gear or
dered her told by the Interpreter of his
decision.
The court proceeded to tell the wo-
man that she not only did not have ia
go back and live with her husband If
he treated her cruelty but that she had
the right to sue for and obtain an abb
solute divorce from him. THE law was
made for Hawaiians, 1 am told" added
the court, "and 1t may have been a
good law once. but IL isn't good now
We have been born again, and our
courts and police now have only the
powers delegated to them by the con-
stitution'
Full, who didn't seem to understand
much Of the legal part of the decision
and busted herself keeping her Infant
quiet by a series of tseady spanks un-
derstood we'll enough when told that
she was free and she carried off her
youngster i'm quick time, as If afraid
the court would change its mind and
send her back to hard labor.
Judge Gear held some time ago that
the law as to desertion was unconstI-
tutiOnal and I'm Honolulu no more
cases are prosecuted, but the news
doesn't seem to have reached the dis
trict judge at Eva.

THE KILLING OF MOSQUITOES
BROUGHT IT.
Havana Free From the Pestlence for
-Four Months-For the First Time in
A Hundred Years

HAVANA, February 10. M ajor
Gorges, chief sanitary officer of Ha-
vana, says the principal work OF the
sanitary department for the past year
has had for it's object the determination
of yellow fever, and that he has many
reasons to believe that Havana has
been actually purged of the disease.
During the last hundred years, Ma
jor Gorges says yellow fever
has been epidemic in Havana, and
all sanitary measures that have
been taken have had no effect.
General disinfection as carried out for
other diseases has been tried to no pur-
pose, but yellow fever sharply disap-
peared upon the introduction of the
system based on the killing Of infected
mosquitoes on the theory that by such
mosquistoes only could the disease be
transmitted.
From September 2S, 1901, not a single
case of the fever has been reported
and this. condition is so unusual that in
the opinion of Major Gouges it puts
aside all questions of chance.

Among the Easter Millinery

The ladies' Of this city patronize a
millinery opening with as much ardor as
the other sex exhibit when there is d
base ball game, or prize fight. In
proof of this fact, Sentinel reporter
kept watch OF the crowds Of ladies' who
wended their way to the millinery store
of Mrs. Maude Chapman today, to see
the new spring styles OF hats and bon
nets.
They were not at all disappointed in
the array of head gear which greeted
them, neither we're they sorry that they
went to see all the styles, for it was well
worth the time spent. There were all
kinds and colors on exhibition. but the
prevailing combination WAS black and
white, which will be worn more this
year than ever before.
The shapes are new, and do not per
NIT OF the use of the last year styles, so
any one can feel that they are getting
something entirely up -to-date. Mrs.
Chapman had spent a great deal OF time
in decorating her store for the opening.
and it was certainly very neat and at
tractive She was assisted by Misses
Lelah Austin, Edna Thompson and Mrs.
A. w. Leonardson.
A large number OF hats were sold, and
from the judgment OF the ladies the
prices were very reasonable.
