ORDER OF CONTINUANCE.
Restraining Order in Force Until Fur.
Their Hearing Can Be Given.

In the Supreme Court of the District of
Columbia before Justice Barnard this aft
ernOon orders were filed continuing until
further hearing the restraining orders is
sued by the late Justice Bradley in the in
Junction suits brought by VIM. H. Gannett
publisher, incorporated, and four other
compliments against Henry C. Payne,
Postmaster General of the United States.
These actions are the third series of
the second-class mail matter cases recently
argued before the District courts by United
States Attorney Gould and Assistant
United States Attorney Classic for the
government. and by Messrs. Nath. Wilson,
Needham and Duane T.. Fox for the vari-
Gus publishers The first series of cases,
involving the Railway Guides, was decided
against the government by the late Justice
Bradley upon the ground of supposed in
consistency between the act of March 3
1877, and the regulation of the department.
The second series, which related to the
privilege extended by the act of 1884 to
regularly incorporated institutions of
learning" was decided by Justice Barnard
in favor of the governments contentious,
both as to the proper construction of the
act and as to freedom of the department
for judicial control by mandamus. This
third series includes the papers which have
been excluded upon the ground that they
We're determined to be primarily designed
for advertising purposes and SO barred
by the proviso of the act of March 3, 1879.
In continuing the restraining orders until
final or further hearing Justice Barnard
stated that he does not at this time decide
the important questions of law involved in
the cases, and wished to express no opinion
upon the merits. A lack of time prevented
full consideration and determination of
these questions; he thought 1t more equit
able to continue the restraining orders I'M

plainants had stated oath that eXclu-
sion of their publications meant irreparable
injury and the complete destruction of the
business built up under the former practice
of the DEPARTMENT.

GOV. DOLE'S RETURN
ENTHUSIASTIC WELCOME GIVEN
TO HAwAII's EXECUTIVE.
He Immediately Pardons the Editor
Sentenced for Contempt by
Judge Gear.
Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.

HONOLULU, T. H, June IL, 1902.
Gov. Dole arrived here on the 9Th of this
month, and was given a royal reception.
The tug Eleu was chartered by his friends
and went to meet the steamship Alameda
as the latter was sighted, and the
first greetings between the returning execu-
tive and his friends in Hawaii were ex-
changed over the waters.
The famous Royal Hawaiian Band went
on the tug. AS the Alameda came round
Diamond Head and pointed toward the
channel of Honolulu harbor the tug. with
flags waving, the band playing and the
men on board cheering, circled about her.
There were cheers for Gov. Dole. who was
on deck, and acknowledged them by raising
his hat.
At the wharf The same scenes were re-
peated on a larger scale. The tug arrived
at the dock ahead of the steamer. so that
the band was landed on the wharf and
ready to assist with music and a great
crowd of people on the wharf Joined in
| cheers for Dole as he descended the gang
way.
The first official act of the returned gov
error was to issue a pardon for Walter G..
Smith, editor of the Advertiser, who was
in Oahu prison serving sentence of thirty
days for contempt of the first circuit court.
Smith had been in jail about fOrty-eight
hours. When the supreme court decided
that 1t could not interfere in the matter he
was taken in custody, and the matter of
securing pardon at once received atten-
ton. Acting Gov. Cooper was asked for a
pardon, but did not grant it at once, and
In the meantime Gov Dole's arrival took
the authority away from Cooper. Dole act
ed quickly when the case was presented to
him. He declared reason for his ac-
ton that he considered the punishment eX-
cessive.
Smith was sentenced by Judge Gear on
account of a cartoon to which the court
took exception. Judge Humphreys delivered
the decision of the circuit court holding
Smith guilty.
The case recalls the contempt cases of a
waiian Bar Association preferred charges
against Judge Humphreys, which resulted
in his going to Washington in his own de-
feEse. AT that time Humphreys sentenced
three of the best-known attorneys of Homo
lulu, among them being A. s. Hartwel,
an aged practitioner, known as the Mes
tor of the Hawaiian bar, to thirty days
each for contempt Editor Smith was in
this case, too. for it was on account of an
affidavit to which he swore, but which the
attorneys attempted to read in court, that
the sentence was passed. None of the at
torneys sentenced reached jail. Secretary
Cooper was acting governor then, and he
issued pardons at once for all three, before
they We're taken to the prison by the high
sheriff.
The day after he pardoned Smith Gov
ernor Dole issued another pardon in a
contempt case for c. c. Biting, an attor-
ney whom Judge Gear sentenced to fifteen
days imprisonment for insulting language
used in court. This is Billings second SEN
tence of the kind. He had been in Jail for
| five days when the pardon set him free.
