old SUITS UP AGAIN
EIGHTEEN MORE JURORS IN
CIRCUIT COURT.
Paris VS.. Magoon Case Begun
Special Term To Be Extended and
May Be Humphreys Last.

Eighteen new jurors We're summon
ed to the First Circuit Court this
morning to enlarge the pane!, as the
number serving was found insufficient.
The present special term will be eX-
tended for two weeks, making it last
to the end of this month. AS Judge
Humphreys has asked that his resign
alton take effect August l, it is prob
ably his last term on the bench.
The new jurors this morning We're:
Manuel G. Silva, John 2. Dias, John
NJ. Camara, Manuel A. Gonsalves, Will
liam A. McInerny, Charles II. Ramsay,
j NJ Webb, Charles j. Falk, Captain
II. L. Soule, William Lishman, h. 5.
Cunha, Thomas Quinn, Manuel Refs,
Herman Meek, Charles j. Broad,
samuel w. Spencer, Edward x. Mont
gomery, II. +. Bertlemann.
Mclnerny asked to be excused for
business reasons, saying that his firm
was short of help, Il. A. Mclnerny haY-
ing gone away. The excuse was held
to be insufficient, but the court held
out to McInerny a comforting chance
that he might not be chosen on the
jury to try Paris VS.. Magoon, which
would take the rest of the week, so
that Jurors not so chosen would be eX-
cused till Monday. MCInerny's name
was called in the first half dozen.
]. NJ. Webb was excused on plead
ing both i'll health and press of busi-
ness. Manuel Refs and John Dias
were excused because they are not citi-
zens of the United States.
Judges Humphreys and Robinson
both sat during the hearing of jurors
excuses, after which Humphreys re-
tired to his chambers to hear bill of
exceptions and Robinson took up the
trial of Paris VS.. Magoon. McClana-
han wanted to go ahead with the tifst
panel of jurors first, while Magoon
wanted both venires made into one
set of jurors. Humphreys and Rob-
inson held that the jurors names ought
to be all in one box, and McClanahan
took his first exception.
The suit grew out of an agreement
made by Senator Paris with the late
Antonio Fernandez, for the sale Of
some leases of land and of cattle on
the land, in 1898. Fernandez died be-
fore the agreement was carried out and
Magoon was sued several years ago.
A decree ordering specific performance
was given by Perry as circuit judge,
but overrued by the Supreme Court,
and now Paris seeks damages. The
following jurors We're sworn in to try
the case: l.. II. Dee, G, II, Ramsay,
S. w. Spencer, G. j. Falk, w. Lishman,
Il. b. Mkalemi T., j. Crawford, II. n.
Crabbe, viii Il. Fisher II. Meek, j. X

MAJ, CAMARA RESIGNS
WILL DEVOTE HIS EFFORTS TO
NON-PARTISAN WORK.
Steps Out of Membership in Demo-
Cratic Territorial Committee-Portu-
guese Political Society.

At the meeting of the new Pertu-
guese Political Society held last even
ing, Mayor j. M. Camara, one of the
Promoters of the society announced
his resignation from the Democratic
Territorial Committee.
The new society is non partisan in
character designed to interest Ameri-
can citizens of Portuguese lineage in
their rights, duties and responsibilities
as Americans. Major Camara has taxi
en- great interest in this movement
and expressed himself as feeling that
his position as member of a party
committee was not quite in harmony
with the objects and purposes of the
new organization with which he is
connected. He has therefore resigned
from the Democratic Territorial Com
mittee to devote his efforts, unham-
pered, to the work of the new society
This work will be to interest all Por-
tuguese- Americans in American citi-
zenship; to look after and secure the
naturalization of all Portuguese resi-
dents entitled to naturalization, and
generally to promote participation and
interest in public matters of Portu-
guese-A Americans. The society is non
partisan and educational in it's object.
A mass meeting in the interest of
this movement will be held at San An
tonic hall next Saturday evening at
which a number of addresses along the
line of it's objects and work.

APPEAL FISH CASES
HUMPHREYS RULING IN SU-
PREME COURT.
Damon and the Bishop Estate Set
From the Circuit Judge

Bills of exception were filed today by
Hatch and Silliman and approved by
Judg Humphreys in the two fisheries
cases that We're decided by Humphreys
taking the cases to the Supreme court
The bills of exception are in the cases
of $. NJ, Damon and one of the cases of
the Bishop Estate, and they contain
much matter setting forth the grounds
upon which the titles to the rights are
claimed, and the legal reasons for the
ruling of Humphreys throwing the
cases out of court. In the Bishop es-
tate case, the bill of exceptions contains
the following statement of alleged Of
fers of testimony which it is claimed
We're wrongfully ruled out by the judge
The plaintiffs claim to have acquir-
ed a vested right in the said sea fish
cry by virtue of the laws of the King
dom Of Hawaii respecting sea fisheries
and by virtue of the common law of
Hawaii and of ancient custom in Ha-

FOR THIRSTY
CHILDREN
HELEN WILDER CRAFT PLANS
A VERY PRACTICAL
MONUMENT.
DRINKING WATER FOR MAN AND
BEAST
Sanitary Drinking Fountain To Be
Placed In Mckinley Memorial Park
At Cost Of $500.

The Mckinley Memorial Park is to
have an elaborate edition of the patent
sanitary fountain invented by Norman
w. GriswOld. This will be erected as
a practical monument under the direc-
tiOn of Helen Wilder Craft, who has
undertaken the task of raising the
necessary $500 for the erection of the
fountain.
This will be fitted with the latest
improvements of the designer, Normal
w. Griswold. One self-hushing basin
will be provided for equines, while
three cups, which automatically flush
and reflush themselves before any wa
ter can be obtained, will be reserved
for humanity. The fountain will stand
some eight feet high and is designed in
Oriental style with a dome roof, the
whole effect being that of a miniature
Turkish minaret. 1t will be painted in
aluminium and gold, following out the
Oriental scheme. Helen Wilder Craft
who has been eager to see fountains
erected for the general use, provided
they were sanitary, has promised to
stand back of the plan and see that the
$500 is raised.
The Board of Health sometime ago
reserved decision on the erection of
these fountains pending their erection
in San Francisco. An order has just
been placed with the inventor for one
hundred and fifty fountains for use in
that city and it is now anticipated that
permission will be obtained from that
body to place them in Honolulu
The Oahu Railroad has determined
to adopt a form of the sanitary fOun-
tains for their train service. Manager
Fred Smith, a member of the Board
of Health states that coolers were ori-
ginally placed in the cars, but were
withdrawn owing to his fear that they
might be serving as germ distributors.
The public have exclaimed against
their removal and having been con-
WINGED that the new fountains are en-
tirely sanitary, the management has
decided to use them providing salts
factory contracts can be closed with
the manufacturers. A fountain for
horses will also be placed in the depot
grounds. A similar fountain is in po-
sition at the Waikiki Inn and local
company has been found to place ten
of them around the city, using blank
spaces on the fountains as advertising
media.
The only thirsty animal who is de-
MED the privilege of getting a sanitary
and cooling drink from the new foun-
tains is the dog, who happens to be
unaccompanied by a thoughtful master
or mistress or is exercising on it's own
responsibility. Hands are a necessity
iE working the mechanism that releas-
es the cup and flushes the receptacle.
The larger dogs could possibly reach
the filled basins by rearing on hind
legs, but the smaller CANNES are un-
provided for at present.

Income tax returns are being handed
in to Tax Collector Pratt slowly so far,
and there will probably be the sama
rush at the end of the month as there
was last year, when the counter of the
Tax Collectors office was beseged for
the last few days of July by crowds OF
people offering their returns. The re-
turns have to be sworn to and are ex-
amlned by the clerks to see if they are
correct in form, so that they cannot
be merely thrown on the counter and
left.
The returns this year will be small
er generally speaking, than last year.
Honolulu has had a year of hard
times" and there are probably not
many firms or individuals who can
show as large incomes this year as
they did asst. At least such are
the indications at the Asse ssor's
office. The figures, when avail
able, will make an interesting showing
of just how hard the times have been.
Those who ought to know say that the
total amount of income tax paid in
Honolulu this year, and throughout the
Territory, will be a good deal less
than it was last year.
The published statement that in cas-
es where people who made returns last
year failed to make returns this year.
llt iOIlleI returns NOulu ne NdhtI anu
percentage added, is an error. 1t IL
expected that practically all of those
who made statements last year will do
the same this year. If they do not,
Tax Collector Pratt will simply carry
out the provisions of the law with re-
gard to people who are within the
terms of the income tax law and fail
to hand in statements. The provisions
are as follows:
Section s. When any person or cor
poration having a taxable income re-
fuses or neglects to render any return
or list required by law or declines to
take oath or affirmation thereto the
Assessor may make such assessments
as he may consider just and the same
shall be binding and conclusive upon
all parties and shall not be subject to
appeal. In case of any false or fraud
ulent return or valuation by any tax
payer the Assessor shall add 200 per
cent to a just valuation of the income
of such tax payer and the amount of
the tax assessed on such increase shall
becorre pat Of the tax on the said in

NO lex" REQUIRED
YALE ADMITS GRADUATES OF
PUNAHOU.
A. G. Kaulukou Notified That He viii
Not Be Asked to Take Entrance
Examinations.

A letter received by A. G. Kaulukou
who is going to Yale to enter as the
holder of the scholarship provided for
by Hawaiian graduates of that uni
versity indicates that Punahou col
lege has been placed on the list of ac-
credited prep" schools by Yale. An
swering an inquiry as to examinations
to be taken for entrance, the Univer-
sity replies to the effect that the GER
tificates held by Kaulukou as a gra-
duate of Punahou will be sufficient to
secure his entrance without any eXa-
mination.
In the past students who have enter
ed Yale Law school from Punahou have
been required to take examinations TO
settle their qualifications. 1t was eX
pected that Kaulukou would also be re-
quired to take such an examination,
and he was asked by the committee by
whom he was selected to go as the
choice of the alumni if he was willing
to take the entrance eaminatiOn.
Kaulukou was willing to take the exa-
minatiOn, but he is glad just the same
that he doesn't have to, as he would
have felt obliged to spend some time
rubbing up" on Latin and other
studies.
Kaulukou wrote to the University
asking for information as to the exa-
mination he would be required to take.
He has received a letter stating that
in view of his having a diploma show
ing that he took the English and La
courses at Punahou and is a gra-
duate of tnat institution, he will be re-
ceiVed at Yale without any examina-
ton.
WilfoTd Greenwell, another graduate
of Punahou will enter Yale at the same
time as Kaulukou. Both will probably
leave early in September.

.LATE WITH mourning
MOHICAN OBSERVING DEATH
OF ADMIRAL SAMPSON.
Did Not Learn Of His Death Until Her
Arrival Yesterday-Naval Station
Flags Half Masted

Considerable surprise was caused
along the Water Front this morning
when the flags aboard the training ship
MOhican and at the Naval Station were
placed at half mast. People began to
wonder who had died aboard the YES
sci. Inasmuch as all of the men were
reported as being in excellent health,
it was feared that perhaps some one
might have succumbed to some sudden
sickness or met with a fatal accident.
The half masted flags We're not flown
on account of any immediate death
however but were the official mourn
ing" for the late Admiral Sampson.
owing to the long passage of the
Mohican from Yokohama to this port
She did not receive any mail for a
period of nearly sixty days. 1t was
durin, the latter part of May that h,i~
miral Sampson died in Washington. Or
ders were issued to all of the stations
and vessels to hold official mourning
which was done some time in June.
Flags being placed at half mast and
l3 minute guns being fired at noon.
When this mourning was going on
among the various vessels of the navy,
the MohiCan was battling against con-
trary winds and heavy seas in the north
Pacific ocean.
When the vessel arrived yesterday or
ders had already been given to dress
ship in honor of the Flag Raising day,
as it was then thought aboard that the
flag had been raised here July l6 In.
stead of June A. over a month earlier.
The additional news was received how
ever of the death of Admiral Sampson
so, from the supposed gala appearance,
the vessel was ordered to be given the
somber appearance of mourning. Thlr-
teen guns We're fired at noon today by
the vessel.
Although the naval station had al
ready observed the day of mourning
the flags were placed at half mast also
in order to conform with those aboard
the vessel in port

Beers BUY MULES
FROM KANSAS CITY
DEALERS
THEY LIKED THEM FOR WAR PUR-
POSES AND NOW THEY
WANT THEM FOR
FARMS.

KANSAS CITY, Dec. 12-When the Boer
war ended and peace was declared.
the Kansas City mule dealers thought
they had sold their last mules in South
Africa.
They did not expect to see more British
gold. except what the Indian government
might leave here, until King Edward
government got into new troubles.
But they have been agrseably surprised.
The Beers are now buying mules.
During the three years that Great Brit
ain was buying mules and shipping them
to South Africa for war purposes the
Beers were not asleep.
Occasionally they would stampede the
mules OF a provision train and II not in
frequently happened that the train, as well
as the mules, fell into Boer hands. But
for the habit the Beers had Of taking the
British mules the market in Kansas City
would not have been so lively as 1t was
1t is said that at one time there were as
many Missouri mules in the hands Of the
Beers as the British had, though it was
the British VINO paid for them.
The Beers found the Missouri mule a
good animal to deal with. He was sure
footed, faithful, reliable enough when
duly watched a little obstinate, but tough
as iron, ard a ready feeder on supplies
that a horse would starve on.
he MADE MS own way IN the WOfAu anu
built up his own reputation, having gone
into a new country, with money TO vouch
for him and under circumstances that
were not calculated to make him popular.
The Beers liked the Missouri mule.
The British government viii give the
Beers SO, 600 900 with which to stock their
farms Now that there is no longer any
chance to set mules by the old method
they want to buy them.
Accordingly a BOer Spectator who had
money came 60 the United States to buy
things for his countryTnen. In New York
he found a Yankee with the trading in
stinct well developed, and one Of the first
things decided to do r~as TO send ship
load OF mules TO the TPansvaal.
The Boer member OF the firm wanted to
get them where the British had bought
theirs. so they would be sure OF getting
the same kind OF mules. Accordingly, he
| came to Kansas City and recently bought
]. 900 mules. They were persuaded to take
| better mules than the British bought at
somewhat higher prices.
The mules have been sent south, pre-
| paratory to shipment
80 we are still getting British gold,
! said the seller OF this lot. 1T always
| looked good to US, and we were glad o.
| another chance to send mules to South
| Africa. Still the market south is good.
| We refused Sf70 a head for bunch Of
| $50 mules this week
THE cotton trade win open up in a few
weeks, and then mule dealers will be busy
all the time. We are getting ready for a
