JUDGE HAPAI HONoRED.
Yesterday was Judge Hapais sixty
fourth birthday. Judge Little and the
lawyers found it out and quietly
gathered in the court room and took
charge. Judge Little charged the
District Court with being slxty-four
years old and attorneys LIE Blond and
II. l.. Ross made arguments in the
case. The case closed with the pre-
sentation to Judge Hapai Of a box
of his favorite cigars. He made an
appropriate response. Judge Hapai
has served as District Judge for 26
consecutive years. Before his service
on the bench he was clerk to the
Sheriff of Hawaii, Tax Collector and
Deputy Lieutenant Governor of this
Island.-Hilo Tribune.
IN JAIL AGAIN.
Deputy Sheriff Overend returned the
first of the week from Naalehu with
F'unacoshi, the notorious japanese
criminal, who has been before the
bar of justice for a year. Funacoshi
was out on $4,000 bail pending appeal
to the Supreme Court from a judg-
ment by the Hilo court, finding him
guilty of murder He is now arrested
on the charge of conspiracy to extort
money. His case came before Judge
Hapai Wednesday and he was re-
manded for trial. Funacoshi has been
playing n hard game in the Hawaiian
Islands and it is said that now for the
first time, he is inclined to show the
white feather. When talking with
friends, the stoicsm that carried him
through many trials now deserts him
and he weeps like a broken-hearted
old man.
SUNDAY BASEBALL.
Senator Palmer p. Woods telephoned
the Tribune one day this week that
the Kohala baseball boys were in a
nasty frame of mind because the au-
thorities refused to p rmit Sunday
ball at the new Kohala ball ground.
The boys have recently expended be-
tween three and four hundred dollars
on a new ball park. The Senator says
nearly all the boys are working
through the week and that Sunday Is
the only day they can play. The boys
want to know why Sunday ball is o.
X. in Hlo, Honolulu and on Maui and
tabu at Kohala.
The rule so far as can be found out,
Is that Sunday ball will not be inter-
fered with where popular sentiment
upholds it. 1t has been suggested that
the kohala boys circulate a petition
on the subject and that there will be
little doubt of S. lday ball being per-
mitted, so long IS the games are or
derby and not too noisy-Hilo Trib-
une.
