BR0DERSEN IS FREE
ON THE CHARGE
OF FORGERY
Jurors Return in Twenty
Minutes With Verdict
Of Not Guilty.

Judge McClernan instructed the jury in
the case OF the state against y. c. Broder-
sen, charged with forgery, to return ver-
dict OF acquittal this morning owing to
the fact that the evidence produced by the
state did not seem sufficient to convict.
The court also instructed the jury that
they did not necessarily have to follow his
instructions, and could retire and bring in
any verdict they saw fit.
Not Guilty.
The jury was out about 20 minutes and
brought in the verdict as instructed, and
the defendant was discharged and his
bonds eXonerated.
The court held a lengthy session yes
terday afternoon in hopes OF getting the
matter out Of the way for the hearing
Of the case OF Stefano Ferrera, and at
o'clock took recess until 7:3o, when At
torney Forrestell argued motion for ac-
acquittal.
This motion was resisted by the county
attorneys office, and the court announced
after the arguments that he would take
the matter under advisement until this
morning.
When Justice Danzier was recalled yes
terday afternoon he produced his docket,
and all the papers filed in his Meaderville
court. The justice was unable during the
morning session to give any definite intor-
nation as to the filing of papers and the
court ordered him to get hence and bring
i'll the papers.
Justice Danzier could not tell who filed
the alleged fraudulent bond, but stated
that Brodersen acted as attorney for the
collection agency throughout the entire
proceedings against Graham
The defense sought to show that Gra-
ham was not arrested under the bond but
this was not proved.
Graham Arrested.
Constable Thomas II. Harmon testified
to having been given the warrant for Gra-
hams arrest and stated that he asked
Brodersen about an indemnity bond. Bro
dersen gave him the alleged bogus piece
Of paper and told him it was all right, and
Graham was arrested and gave bond for his
appearance.
During Mr.. Murray's testimony yester-
day, he stated that he had gone to Bro
derson and asked him about the bond and
was told that it was all right. He re-
quested that the suretes go before the
justice court and justify Brodersen said
he would produce the bondsmcn the next
day, but when Mr.. Murray appeared
neither Davis or Reese could be found.
Brodersen, he stated, showed him
form with the bond set out, from which
he said he copied the alleged bad bond.
In the form the names Davis and Reese
were spelled out together with the first
name, but in the bond the initials were
used before the names. Immediately after
this, he says, Brodersen filed another bond
and took up the old one.

RELATES AND.
POPE Plus
MEET

Rome, Dec. a3,.-The pope received all
the cardinals and high prclates today and
they exchanged the seasons greetings.
The function was unusually interesting,
as ii was the first OF the kind under the
present pontiH.
The reception took place in the gorge
ous throne room Of the private apartments
Of the late Pope Leo MIL. now reno
waited and used as Pope Plus public re-
ception room. The pontiii, in spotlcss
white robes, was seated on the throne,
while the cardinals ranged themselves in
front of him according to precedence. Be-
hind them were the other church dign-
tarics in their order.
The dean Of the sacred college, Cardinal
Oreglia, read short, happily worded
speech to which the pope replied with his
usual aliablity and modesty. The assem-
blage then addressed and kissed the pont-
IFS hand and broke up into small groups,
Pope Plus speaking personally to each of
them.
The United States was represented at
the reception by Mgr. Seton, tituar arch
bishop of IIclopolis OF Newark, n. j., and
Mgr. Kennedy, rector OF the American col
lcpe.

RICO TELLS REYES
TO PUT IN ANSWER
COLOMBIAN MINISTER DENIES THAT
AMERICA PROTECTED CoLOM-
BIA FROM INVASION.
SETS FORTH THEIR SIDE
Wires Reyes to Make Statement to the
World Denying Some Utterances by
the American Government.
ny ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Bogota, Dec. 23.--Dr Carlos Rico, min
lister OF foreign affairs has cabled TO Gen
eral Reyes at Washington, under date of
December 8, as follows:
IF the explanation which the United
States government has given TO the press
is of diplomatic character, answer clear
ing the following points: y
by the treaty of IS46, the United States
did not acquire control over inieroceanic
transit; but entered into obligations by
which, for compensatory favors, it guar
anteed the neutrality, property and sovcr-
eighty Of the isthmus, the sovereignty be
ing indivisible. ii the United States gov
ernment prevents the government Of Co
lombia from subduing the rebels. then il
should submit them to Colombia authority.
"Ihe United States has never protected
Colombia against foreign invasions When
ever that government has interfercd to
prevent the interruption Of traffic, it has
been because OF the rights granted or OIL
Colombia's request only. Only in this in
stance has it interfcred on its own initi
alive with the evident object of protecting
the secessionists on the isthnus.
IF the guarantees Of neutrality were to
be looked upon as a privilege, il would
prevent the Colombian government exer-
cising sovereignty over the isthmus, which
is against the principles OF all governments.
The protocols Of 1907 did not grant any
new rights to the United States, much less
the rights OF dominating this territory.
The llay-llerran treaty did not modify
the obligation which the United States con-
tracted by the treaty of IS46 to guarantee
the neutrality, sovereignty and property
of the isthmus. When this treaty was dis
approved no new propositions were made.
THE orders given by the United States
government to its navy helped TO facilitate
the insurgent movement and Colombia was
at peace when this movement began.
"Ihe conduct OF the Washington exccu-
tive has been and is now favorable to
every move of the rebellion; but not to
the maintenance OF order 1t is contrary
to the principles and antecedents OF the
United States government and policy es-
tabl;shed by it during the American war
OF secession. RICO, Minister"

the council investigating committee in its
case against the mayor, the chief Of

ing OF the meeting yesterday some debate
rs to the course that should be pursued in

ferring the report to the council 10 be

portunity TO state TO the members OF the
committee that he was not at present on
trial, and that he did not propose 10
answer any questions that might be asked
him.
The point was raised that nasmuch as
the mayor had not been present at the
sessions OF the investigating committee,
ne perhaps ought not 10 hear the evidence
as it was read from the notes of the
stcnographcr.
To this the mayor replied that he should
not be taken into consideration in this re-
gard and urged tie committee to get down
10 business as quickly as possible.

teses between the mayor and some mem
bcrs OF the committee and the reading
OF the evidence was begun.
Wiling to Refund.

shortly after 3 O'Clock and continued until
8, when adjournment was taken until to

The mayor is credited with the state
ment at the close OF the meeting that il
it were decided that the 100000 he had
collected from the gamblers OF the city
was Legally held by the city. he should
make a demand on the city treasury Tor
the inoney and take it back.

There Is one thing for which Man
ager Ballentyne is to be heartily COM
mended by the citizen laborers of Ho-
nolulu. Although employing hundreds
of men, and some of the work not al
ways sought by citizen workmen, Mr..
Ballentyne has admitted only citizens
or those eligible to become such upon
his pay-rolls, except in rare cases of
track scraping and the like, work that
only Jap will do. Considering the
number of men employed, and the
temptation to save money by employ
Ing Asiatics, the record of Mr.. Ballen.
tyne in this particular matter is all
that could be desired.

While working on his scheme for re-
trenchment, Governor Carter might
give his attention to the pilot house
Some years ago when there were many
more vessels than now (the present
big steamers having killed the sailing
traffic. there were three pilots only,
and they each received 5000 month.
There are now four pilots, with staff
OF helpers, and the salaries have been
gradually increased until they now are
$500 per month each. If three pilots
were enough five years ago, two should
be enough now, and to meet the re-
quirements of the times, their salaries
should be set back to the former fig.

The success or failure of a fistic
program depends upon the manage
ment. Under capable management
there need be no trouble of any sort
and vice versa. The fact of the mill
being pulled off in a section Of saloon

there is good management at the pa
Wilton of the Favorite saloon Thurs

With bad management, however, there
might be trouble If the fights were

close off his saloon from the pavilion,

foolish mission, and as The Independ-

made a great big jackass of ourselves.
The lesson, though, is a healthy one.
Congress has not the time nor the in
clination to interfere in our little local
affairs, and, moreover, desires that the
Territory retain all the home rule be-
longing to 1t. That is eminently prop
er and just. 1t is to be hoped that the
