JUDGE EDINGS
FILES DEMURRER
ANSWER TO JACOB COERPER's
PETITION FOR CERTIORARI IN
THE KONA SUGAR CO. CASE.

demurrer was filed this morning by
Humphreys, Thompson & Watson and
Guy S. Maydwell, attorneys for Judge
Edings and the Third Circuit court in
the matter of the application of Jacob
Coerper for a writ of certiorari in the
Kona Sugar case. The attorneys for
the third circuit judge set forth many
reasons why they claim that the petit
ton of Coerper Is defective, among
them being the following:
1t is impossible to tell from the said
petition whether the said writ of GER
tiorari is prayed against the Circuit
Court of the Third Judicial Circuit of
the Territory of Hawaii, or against the
Judge of said court.
1T appears upon the face of the said
petition that petitioner was not and is
not party to the proceedings which
he seeks to have reviewed by the writ
of certiorari
1T does not appear from the petition
herein that the petitioner has applied to
the Kona Sugar Company Limited, or
the stockholders thereof or to the Board
of Directors thereof, to invoke any
proceedings against the grievances
complained of.
1T does not appear from the said
petition that any application has been
made to the Honorable Judge of the
circuit court of the Third Judicial Cir
cult of the Territory of Hawaii, at
Chambers, for relief against, or the red
ress of the grievances complained of in
the petition herein. ...... ....
1T appears on the face of the petition
herein that the petitioner has been
guilty of inexcusable laches.
1T is impossible to tell from the said
petition whether the same is a petition
for writ of certiorari or a petition for
a writ of prohibition"
The demurrer also sets forth that the
Kona Sugar company and other parties
to the action sought to be reviewed,
should have been made parties defend
ant, and a misjoinder of parties is
claimed because both the judge of the
court and the court are sued as de-
PENDANTS.

SUGAR MILLS
GRINDING SWIFTLY
SEASON IS NOW IN FULL BLAST
AND PROSPECTS FOR INCREAS-
ED YIELD ARE VERY BRIGHT.

The sugar season is now in full blast.
Practically every mill in the islands is
grinding night and day and the pros
crease over the product of last year
are very bright.
Yesterday afternoon the steamers
Helene and Maui arrived from Hil1 and
Hamakua ports with full loads of sugar
Both vessels were loaded deep in the
water. The Helene brought Il, 1926 bags
and the Maui had II 200 bags, about all
of which came from various Hamakul
plantations.
The schooner Moi Wahine also drriv-
ed yesterday morning from Halnaliu1
with over 1000 sacks. of sugar. Re-
ports from that district are to the ef-
feet that the output will be vastly
larger than the product of the previous
season. In fact it has been said that
there will hardly be enough boats to
handle all of the sugar that is going 10
be produced along the Hamakua coast.
The steamer Waialeale arrived this
morning from Kilauea with 2017 bags
of sugar. The steamer Ke Au Hou al
so arrived yesterday with a full load
of sugar from Kauai ports.
The bark Mauna Ala will not finish
loading sugar for San Francisco until
tomorrow morning. She will sail with
about 800 bags of sugar. The schoon-
er Rosamond will get away probably
tomorrow The schooner w. H. Mars
ton will sail some time Sunday and
the barkentine S. c.. Wilder next week .
All of these vessels will take full sugar
cargoes to San Francisco.

CHILD GOES TO
HER MOTHER
DIVORCE DECREE OF TWO YEARS
AGO NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. TO
OATH BEFORE AN ATTORNEY.

Judge De Bolt this morning signed
an amendment of the Andrade divorce
decree, awarding the custody of Mar
guerite NJ: Andrade to the mother, in
stead of to the father as in the original
decree. The divorce was granted to
the husband on December 13, 1900 and
the custody of the child was awarded
to John Andrade. The mother, now
Mrs. Correa, made application a few
days ago for an amendment of the de-
cree so that she might have the custody
of the girl No objection was made
when the matter came up this morn
ing and Judge De Bolt therefore sign
ed the desired order, giving the mother
the care and control of the girl with
permission for the father to visit her at
reasonable times.
NJ. G. Silva has filed a demurrer to
the suit brought against him by Julia
dos A. M. Comes for $3.50 alleged to
have been loaned to him. Among the
objections raised is that the oath in the
complaint was taken before one of the
attorneys of record in the case.
An order approving the accounts and
discharging the administrator was
signed this morning in the estate of
Rebeca Montgomery, deceased.
Judge Estee postponed the hearing
of the H. C. Austin bankruptcy case to
next Monday.

Wireless Message Sent YeSter-
day To The Ex-Judge Asking
# He Would Accept The
AttOrney-GeneraIShip,

"A wireless message was sent yester-
day to w. l.. Stanley, former circuit
judge, al Hilo, asking him IL he would
accept the attorney generalship. The
message was sent after consultations
with Governor Dole, which resulted in
the latter signifying his readiness to
appoint Stanley If the latter would ao-
cept. An early answer was expected,
but Stanley did not hurry about reply
ing, and the politicians are waiting.
STANLEY was approached on the sub
Ject before he left for Hilo, and he
stated then that he would not accept
the position, preferring to remain in
private practice. For this reason some
of the members of the central commit
tee thought it useless to send him q
wireless, but the experiment was tried.
Stanley's name was on the petition in
support of Cathcart. .....
The withdrawal and resignation OF
John w. Cathcart has brought out some
candidates for the deputyship and the
office of first assistant deputy. The
present assistant deputy, e. A. Douthitt
is favored for promotion by some but
the decision lies with the new attorney
general Douthitt is at present try
ing Hilo term cases. For the vacancy
that may be made by his promotion
there are number of young lawyers
ready to apply.
The Republican Central committee
yesterday received the following letter
from Cathcart:
ITO Honorable Clarence L. Crabbe,
Chairman of the Republican Terri
torial Central Committee and to the
Honolulu Committee.
Gentlemen: Last week l applied to
you for your endorsement of my can
didacy for the office of Attorney Cen
eral. Today have withdrawn my ap-
plication to the Governor, for reasons

ther action be taken in reference to my
endorsement
Il regret any trouble 1 may have
caused you, and sincerely thank you
for your expressions of good will

ENDANGER HEALTH
IN MANOA VALLEY
DEAD PIGS ARE BEING THROWN
INTO STREAM THAT MANY PEo-
PILE USE FOR DRINKING WATER

The health of residents in Manoa val
ley and the districts that use the water
of Manoa stream for drinking purposes
is seriously endangered. Health inspec-
tor Tracey has discovered that the hog
ranchers of that valley are regularly
throwing dead pigs into the stream.
Yesterday Tracey found two dead
pigs in the stream. He was unfortu-
nately unable to find any trace of the
people who had thrown the animals
into the water but a systematic cru
sade against these offenders is to be
inaugurated. }o
So far as the visits of the health
inspectors have been able to deter
mine, the hog ranches in that district
are in a healthy condition. There is
no hog cholera prevalent among the
pigs and the animals appear to pc
free from any epidemic of sickness.
Occasionally the pigs die however. In
stead of the owners burying the animal
they take the bodies put them into
sacks with rocks and throw the bodies
into the stream. Unless discovered by
the health inspectors, the carcasses
rot and add impurity to the water.
Many people use the water of the
stream for drinking purposes and the
use of the stream as a burial place by
the hog raisers is going to be stopped
If possible.
Inspector Tracy says that he has not
a sufficient force of men to specially
detail a guard to patrol the banks Of
this stream but he proposes to make
special exertions to have the abuse
stopped. He reported the matter to
the police this morning. The practice
has been going on for some months.
Chinese and Japanese hog Tanchers
are thought to be the offenders.

Naval announcement.

Admiral Watson always prohibited
swearing on the vessel where he hap
pened to be. and if any luckless officer
enforced an order from the bridge with
an oath he was called upon for pri-
vate interview with his superior. But
another matter in his squadron trou-
bled the admiral His was the flag
ship, and yet her men were sometimes
the last to finish the execution Of a
command to carry out a maneuver.
One day when the seamen were behind
in getting down from the rigging he
called captain to him.
"Why is It," he asked, that here on
the flagship. where we ought to be the
quickest, the men are behind the other
ships?"
While the officer was seeking for an
inoffensive reply volley of oaths came
floating across the water from the cap
tain of the nearest ship.

How Japs Play Ken.

In its most widely praciced form the
basis Of the japanese game Of ken Is
that the fully outstretched hand sig
mites paper, the fully closed hand a
stone. and two fingers alone extended
the rest being closed. scissors. Each
Of the players, counting one, two, three,
throws out his hand at the moment of
pronouncing three, and the one whose
manual symbol is superior to that OF
the others, according to the theory OF
the game wins the trial.
Superiority is determined on the
hypothesis that whereas scissors can
not cut stone they can cut paper, and
whereas paper is cut by scissors 1t can
wrap up q stone. Consequently scis-
sors is inferior to stone, but conQuers
paper; stone is inferior to paper, but
conquers scissors, and paper is inferior
to scissors, but cOnQuers stone. There
are innumerable varieties of the game,
for it is not a mere method Of deter
mining a dispute or priority, and they
are constantly added to by ingenious
young ladies, the dancing girl class es-
pecially, who play it with exquisite
grace and judicious enhancement Of
beautiful hands and arms.-Japan

Thackeray's Hustache.

In a note on Samuel Laurence's por-
trait Of Thackeray-that representing
the novelist's face in full-the Illus
trated London News. Of Oct Is, 1855,
says:
ut is not, we must confess, alto
gether true to his present appearance,
for 1t wants a recent and becoming
addition to the upper lip in the shape
Of a black mustache that contrasts
most admirably with head of silver
gray, but II Is like the man and will
be welcome to his many admirers"
The reference here to the mustache
is interesting for the reason that every
portrait of Thackeray, with one excep-
ton, represents him with a clean
shaver upper lip. the exception being
Maclises pencil drawing Of the famous
'Titmarsh," which, however, belongs
to a much earlier date-viz, about
1910 and in which there Is just a
suspicion Of mustache. Presumably
the hirsute appendage Of 1855 was
merely a passing fancy. which the ra-
Eor speedily disposed of.-Notes and

a benevolent doctor offered to give a
thermometer to every cottage, carefully
explaining its use. Soon after their ar

house where the new thermometer

dangling at the end Of a string. The
visitor complimented the owner upon

The Actors Mouth.

The actors mouth Is essentially IA
cile and not infrequently it exhibits a
tendency to turn to one side or the 9th
err This is due In part, to its being
constantly used to express emotion and
also to the peculiar but no less well
recognized fact that when the mouth
is somewhat crooked greater effect
can be produced than when 1t Is open
ed quite straight. Example after ex-
ample could be cited, but for obvious
reasons names may not be mentioned.
At one time it was considered the mark
of the low comedian, for nearly every
one of them had a mouth twisted ell
Their to the right or left as the result Of
"mugging" Some Of the most serious
actors-even those with a reputation
for beauty-could, however, be pointed
to as possessing the same Characters

SINGS IT'S DEATH SONG.
A Peculiar Bird Found In the jun
vles of south America.

giles OF south America
There is queer bird in the tungles
Of northern South America which Is
called the 'paujr' by the natives, but
is known to science as the galeated
curasson. 1t Is chiefly remarkable be-
cause it sings its own death song.
1t does not really sing, but makes a
deep humming noise which sounds
very much like the Spanish words "El
muerto esta aqui' (the corpse lies here.
ut is while uttering this lugubrious
chant" said a South American travel
or, that the paujr usually meets its
death. for the hunter can then easily
track it to it's retreat, and 1t falls a
victim. as the Indians say, to Its own
death song"
If the paul" gets suspicious 1t I'M
mediately ceases humming, and that is
sure indication to the hunter that
the bird has seen him or scents dan
ger. In such case the only thing for
the sportsman to do Is to remain per-
fectly still. The bird may become re-
assured after waiting awhile and again
begin to call, "The corpse lies here" 1t
can then be cautiously approached and
killed.
If 1T is only wounded the paul" usu-
ally escapes, though it cannot fly much
better than the ordinary domestic
fowl. 1t is very fleet Of foot and VIII
outrun the hunter until 1t is lost In the
dense underground of the jungle.
In the mating season the male paul.
is the most pugnacious Of birds and
will fight its own kind whenever II
meets them. Often the fight ends In
the humiliation of both combatants.

Speaking Of Spanish officers re-
minds me Of the misapprehension that
continues even today among our people
concerning their hostility toward US.
As a matter of fact an American
army officer will not find anywhere in
Europe more genuine and cordial cour-
tesy than from them. 1t may come
from long inheritance in this grave
and courtly nation" or spring from the
real absence Of any sustained enmity
toward a people who have brought
them much suffering, but where army
officers are concerned It undoubtedly
takes Its source in that sentiment
which was as spontaneous at Santiago

real and unconscious brotherhood

both peace and war.-Captain t. Bent

WHERE OLD HATS GO.
Clerk Tells of Unique Scheme For
Making Cigar Money.

Making Cigar Money.
Needn't send that old hat home
said the customer as he placed the new
" purchased derby on his head. ITS
too shiny around the edges, and II
would Just take up room In the closet"
The customer walked out Of the store
and the clerk turned to friend.
THAT means cigar money for me-" he
said. "and | smoke good cigars at that.
In most stores ii wouldn't do me very
much good, as all the discarded hats
are given to the drivers Of the delivery
wagons But here the house allows the
clerks to have the hats, and as result
we make little extra money. About
once q week the bushelman comes
around to the store looking for old hats,
and when l give him all have collect
ed he pays on an average OF 10 cents
apiece for them.
After the bushelman has made his
rounds he takes the hats to shop on
South street, and there they are taken
apart. The silk ribbons and bands and
sweatbands are removed and the hat
given a thorough cleaning and new ma
terial and trimmings put on. When 1t
is all fixed up 1t is extremely difficult
to tell it from a new hat, and in many
cases it will sell for as high as 81.

clean it for about cents, put 20 cents
worth of leather and ribbon on 1t and
sell it for a dollar or more, you see
where the profit comes in, don't your
