If John Kalocan, Filipino, is a sam

who have been watching the case OF
sailors Wood and Hall against the

Atkinson, the master thereof Ealocan
was under Cross-eXaminaion all day
Saturday and again this morning. w.
A. Kinney went at length into details
about the bread and meat, vinegar, We
getables. water, corn meal, etc served
on the voyage.
There were many deadlocks, owing to
the fact that the witness didn't under
stand. After hammering away for
time Kinney was frequently told by the
court to pass on to something else. the
court thinking that the witness had
done his best. When Kinney got through
Judge Estee took a hand with the same
results.
How soon after you left Mauritius

The witness gave another similar
answer, and the Interpreter offered to
count weeks on his fingers and try and
made the witness understand "Of
course, go ahead and find out" said
Judge Estee. The final answer was
about one month";"

The Barth divorce case has caused
unpleasant hours for other than those
interested directly There are two Barths
in Honolulu with very similar names.
One is H. w. Barth of the Honolulu
Metal Sheet Works. The other is the
defendant. and he is in the same busi-
ness. The two are not related, and not
connected in business, and about two
months ago, after some trouble over
mistakes, a card was publishede in the
newspapers, stating the facts as to
their names and Identities. In Mrs.
Barth's complaint. however, William H.
Barth was named as the sheet works
man. II. w. Barth went on the war
path and had the necessary cOntradic-
tiOns made in short order.
William H. Barth, it is stated, will re-
fuse to pay the alimOny and attorneys
fees ordered paid by Humphreys. In
that case he will have to go to Jail for
contempt, and will try to get out on
habeas corpus.

MS, ,DAMONCANSWIM A FRAUDULENT WILLIE
CLAIMS MADE ON A NATIVES
ESTATE,
A Pen VIII Alleged to Have Been
Fraudulently Gotten Up, In a $1,000
Estate.

A contest was filed this morning Of
the will of the late David Kahunu, who
died on February "a, two days after he
had made a will leaving his property to
Kaolele kane and Kaailaike, wahine.
The will was written with a pen and
signed with the decedents mark and 1t
disposed Of property alleged to be worth
$5 900. It is claimed that fraud was
practiced in the making and signing Of
the will
The contestants are Annie Kahaoana
and her child, the former claiming to be
the widow Of the deceased. They al
lege that the will is fraudulent and that
the pretended signatures Of witnesses
are also fraudulent The deceased is
said to have been living on terms of in
timacy with KaaiwaiH for some time
prior to his death, and she and Keolele
are alleged to have exercised much in
tiuence over him and to have used it to
cause him to execute the will.
The will, however, was not executed
legally at all, it is claimed. Neither of
the alleged witnesses were present and
the defendant never made the mark
which stands on the document as his
substitute for his signature.
The contestants say that the two be-
nefCaries under the alleged will in
fiuenced the decedent by representing
to him that the said contestants were
persons of abandoned habits, and unfit
to be proper heirs to his property. They
also allege that the decedent was not of
sound and disposing mind when he Is
said to have executed the document on
file.
The will filed is on yellow paper, the
writing being in ink. 1t appears to
have been hastily drawn, and is signed
with the customary "X' of those who
are unable to write a signature. Ka-
hanu was 70 years of age when he exc
cuted the will that was so soon made
effective by his death.

-FOUR CASES SETTLED
c. A. Brown May not See His Minor
Sent Back Again.

The Supreme court handed down four
decisions today, reversing the first cir
cult court in three of them They are
in the cases of Irene Ii Brown VS.. c. II.
Brown. Libana de Nobrega VS.. Sylvano
Nobrega, Fred Wundenberg VS.. George
Markham and in the matter Of the es-
tate of r. w. Holt.
The decision in the Holloway Brown
case, reverses Judge Gears order allow
ing Brown to see his two minor chill
dren every other Saturday. The court
holds that a probate judge has no right
to make an order modifying a divorce
decree as was done i'm this case, though
the circuit court, which made the de-
cree, has such a right The order
changing the decree so as to allow the
bi-Weekly interviews between father
and children is reversed.
The Nobrega divorce case is sent back
for the second time. The first time
Judge Gear ordered the husband to pay
half his property as alimOny This
time the order was that he pay 100000.
The court says that $4,000 is enough and
also holds that Nobrega was not allow
ed reasonable time in which to pay the
money. Justice Perry partially dis
sents, holding that there should be a
periodical allowance and not a lump
sum. Justice Galbraith, conauw ing,
says he does not assent to all of Frear's
argument.
In the Holt estate case Judge Gear
ordered Henry Smith, guardian, to
charge himself with money he adVanc-
ed to the minors, above their legal al
lowance. The appeal is sustained, the
Supreme court holding that the minors
must pay the money out of their es-
tate.
In the case of Fred Wunderburg VS..
George Markham the lower court is
upheld in sustaining a demurrer.

The Thunder Flower.
From the London Globe.


Science as every one knows, is very often
the interpreter of legend, as often almost as
1t is the destroyer of myth and supersti-
ton notable instance of this happy fate
relation to the humble and familiar wild
flower. the stonecrop (sedum tectorum), a
flower which Is known in the lake region
the thunder flower In Belgium as dun
der blomen. and at Arras as f1eur de ton
nerre. In the pages Of the Pharmaceutical
Journal our contemporary has discovered
the following interesting explanation OF
this extraordinary name: Two pharma cists,
II is related, were once walking together.
when they stopped to admire fire profusion
of the stonecrop on the roof and the OUT
buildings Of a primitive farm hou e. The
tenant, an aged but hale and hearty woman,
informed the men of scie nce that a building
was protected from thunderstorms by the
stonecrop, and she told how that very house
was saved by its Intervention. "In my
grandfather's time she said. 1.-THE light
ming struck the roof and turned the thunder
saved. and that is why 1t is called the thun-
der flower" In defense of this pleasing
theory, which sounds so very much like
legend, the Garden points out that the
stonecrop is very probably a natural light
ming conductor, seeing that IL Is succulent
and full of water. And another authority
adds: There Is no reason in life why the
EXPLANATION should not be correct" Tae
ubiQuity Of the name certainly adds weight
TO the theory. and justifies decisive seen
tific opinion ON the matter.
