OSAKA MANKICHI'S CASE
BEFORE SUPREME COURT
Decision Awaited With Unusual In
terest by Leading Lawyers

The decision OF the Supreme Court Of
he United States, in the case OF osaka
Mankichi against the Territory Of Ha-
wIii. is looked for anXiously and with
much interest. The case was argued in
the last week Of February. and II is ex-
pected that the decision OF the court
will be announced in the summer holi-
days.
In great many OF its phases the case
involves questions similar TO those con-
sldered in the in5ular cases. Since those
cases were decided. however. there has
been a change in the personnel Of the
court. Therefore another decision on
practically the same questions by. II
may be said. a new court Will be very
interesting. Since the decision in the
iasular cases Justices Gray and Shiras
have been succeeded by Justices Holmes
and Day.
Aside from the Importance OF the
courts decision affecting the general
insular question, it VIII settle conten-
ton IN the Hawaiian islands that has
thrown criminal litigation into great
confusion. as the island courts are pc
cuiiarly divided on the point. Fred
erick r. Coudert. Of New York. one Of
the counsel fer The appellee. has said
shat the case is one OF the most impoT-
tent since the bred Scott decision
Osaka Mankichi is only a humble
Japanese, languishing in Hawaiian
prison under sentence Of twenty years
FOR committing manslaughter in the first
degree. He was tried for murder in The
first degree by jury Of twelve men.
but three-of the jurors disseuted. There
N
the legal proceedings for the trial and
conviction occurred between the pas
sage of the resolution of annexation o.
July :. 1898. and the formal establish
ment OF the Territorial government
April 80 1900.

MUST PAY FOR WATER
USED IN STREET WASHING
Woodward & LcthTop Cannot Make the
District Pay.

WOODY ard & Lothrop viii be informed
by the District Commissioners that the
street washers about their building in
r Street must be connected with the
meter and paid for the same as other
supplies.
The 1rm recently wrote 10 the Com
missioners objecting to payment for wa
ter used in washing and sprinkling the
streets about the building. as there was
a benefit TO the public as we'll as them
selves. The Water Registrar. in a re
port on the subject. takes a different
yiow.
He says fl has been the practice or his
office for several years 10 require the
metered service in such instances TO in
clude the street connections. He says
there is no greater source Of waste OF
water, and a. is only By insisting upon
the proper payment for the supply that
anything like economy can be enforced
in the use OF street washers
The Water Registrar says this is the
usual practice in other cities, notably
Detroit, Brooklyn. Boston, and New
York.
The Commissioners have approved the
report and recommendation Of the Reg
isJrar.

QUICK HANDLING.
Record on Corn Shipment from
Chicago to New York.
Nine Days from Start to Sailing,
Handled five Times.
Due in Antwerp Just Fl Days from
Chicago Dock.

Boston, April 2S.-The recent ship
mcnt of a cargo of 1850 bushels of
corn to Antwerp by the Kingstonian,
has shown the possibilities of Boston
as a favorable port of export in a man.
ner hitherto unknown in the records
of Boston commerce. Not only was
the cargo a large one but the dispatch
with which it was handled was almost
phenomenal.
The corn was shipped from Chicago
via Buffalo and the New York. New
Haven & Hartford road. 1t was start :
ed from Chicago, the morning of April
16, on the steamer Berlin, reaching Buff
falo on the morning on the Goth. There
it was transferred from the steamer
to the elevator and loaded into cars
which We're made up in two trains and
started to Boston by way of Newburg,
N. Y. and N. Y, N. H. & H. Railroad
and was moved with such dispatch that
it was pouring into the hold of the
Kingstonian on the morning of the
ED and was all on board on the even
ing following.
This was nine days from the time it
left Chicago, having been handled in
transit five times. The next day the
kingstonian sailed for Antwerp, where
she is due May 7, or q days from Chi
cago, quick movement made possible
only by the excellent terminal facili-
ties here.
