SCHMIDT OBJECTS
TO THE SACRIFICE

H. w. Schmidt by his attorneys,
Robertson & Wilder, has entered ex-
ceptions to the commissioners report
of sale of property in the foreclosure
suit of William O. Smith ct al. VS.. H.
w. Schmidt. His grounds are that the
sum of $4,000 is greatly disproportion-
ed to the value of said premises, and
that the sum of 5000 charged as COM
mission is excessive. The executions
are based on the record and the aft
davits of Chas. S. Desky and Will e.
Fisher attached.
Deskys affidavit is as follows:
Charles S. Desky, being first duly
| sworn, deposes and says, that he is a
resident of Honolulu, Territory of Ha-
| wall, and is engaged in the real estate
| business; that he has been engaged in
said business at said Honolulu for nine
years last past: that for about eleven
years prior thereto he was engaged in
the same business in different places
| in the United States; that he is familiar
| with the values of real estate in and
about Honolulu: that he knows the
premises of H w. Schmidt, situate on
Beretania street in said Honolulu
which were offered for sale at public
auction by c. F. Peterson, commits
sioner herein, on September 5, 1908;
that it is his opinion and he verify be-
lieves that said premises We're, at the
date of said sale, and now are, worth
at least forty-two thousand dollars
($42, 000), and that the sum of twenty
five thousand dollars (s25, 000) is, in his
opinion, greatly disproportionate t.
the value of the same"
Fishers affidavit says that deponeni
has been engaged in the real estate
business in Honolulu for about fiv;
years last past, and that for about
twenty years prior thereto he was en-
gagged in the same business in Cali
fornia. For the rest he testifies the
same as Desky, excepting that he say:
the Schmidt property. at the time o
sale, was worth at least fifty-eigh
thousand dollars ($5S, OO0).

"If you have not enough jurors to

Mr. .Mossman, as a last effort, said:

only fifteen jurors and then four men
can prevent an Indictment
Judge Gear in the end excused the
grand jury until Monday.

Juror Herbert J. Mossman here
blurted out in open court the trouble
of the morning. He informed the
court that he objected to serving on
the grand jury any longer. There
had been a palpable miscarriage of
justice in one case they had consid-
cred. which he attributed to the fact
that there were only sixteen men left
on the panel.
Judge Gear said that owing to a
great deal of talk he had accepted the
minimum number of grand jurors so
as to keep down expenses, but it did
not seem TO work we'll. He would

Trouble approaching a serious crisis
developed in the grand jury room yes

Chiffon trial had reached its frsi
wrangle of the day over evidence. fol-
lowing the rendition of the infamous
crime decision, when it was interrupted
by the entrance of Samuel Parker
foreman, and Herbert J. Mossnan OF
the grand jury. These two grand jur1rs
walked I'D to the bench and, not re-
garding the contest of words going on
between Messrs. Peters and Cathcart,
began an argument on the side in low
but earnest tones. Mr.. Flemine, the
Attorney Generals representative be-
and gone forward but took only a
small part in the discussion.
u
whatever it might be, with the two
grand jurors and after some ten OF
fifteen minutes dismissed them with
a remark that seemed to be a promise
to pay attention later to their repre-
sensations.
1t was noticed throughout that most
of the talking was being done by Moss
man, who appeared to be considerably
agitated. Parker was regarding his
colleague with looks more deprecatory
than angry, now and then putting in
brief remark as if in reply to what was
evidently a statement of some griev'
auce.
RUMORS ESCAPE.
At the noon recess talk got abou
an excuse from further service on the
grand jury, owing to dissatisfaction
with some of the proceedings within
the sworn privacy of the grand Jury

heard complaining that one accuset
person, against whom he believed thert
was sufficient evidence for a true bill
had been awarded a favorable decision
though the influence of a few ootent
words from the foreman. However
the disaffected juror went into the
room with the rest of the panel in The
afternoon.
JURORS WANT RESPITE.
1t was about three o'clock that tbs
Chiffon trial was again interrupted
this time by the entrance of all of tn:
grand jurors. They were accompanies
by Mr.. Fleming, who stated to th'
court that the grand jury had finish
ed their work. excepting one small
case, and desired to be excused unit
Monday.
Deputy Attorney General Peters OBJ
jected, saying there was lot of wor
for the grand jury to do.
| Assistant Attorney General F1emin
replied that the proposed recess unit
| Monday was satisfactory to Attorne
General Andrews, who would not b
ready with the additional work befor
then.
Judge Gear observed that he di
not see why they should not take u
the cases right away, reference hein
to those relegated to the grand iur

There Is no doubt great deal Of

Spanish Enoch Arden, or even a

self-sacrificing a part? There is an
Italian laborer in little town In New
Jersey in whose family affairs the
neighbors are somewhat interested,
who does not let the idea of self-sacri-

of life. Life has gone rather badly
with him, to be sure. Two years ago
his wife ran away and left him with
family of little children to take care
Of He has done this as we'll as pos
sible under the circumstances, and
conducted his housekeeping in thor
oughly masculine way which Is worth
considering. During the week he Is
at work good distance from his
home, and, except what he can do
for them mornings and evenings, the
children look out for themselves dur
ing the day. On Saturday he does
his marketing, laying in a stock Of
provisions large enough to last
through the week. On Sunday, with a
number of friends as assistants, he
cooks. He has built something in the
nature of an old fashioned brick oven,
in which he can do a large amount Of
cooking at one time, and there he
bakes innumerable loaves of black
bread and other things which will
keep until the next cooking day. Only
a man would think of doing his house
work in this simple and systematic
way, and 1t is great success. How

Tale of an Unfortunate Courtship
Told in Rhyme.
With delicate persuasion that betray-
ed no base evasion, he contrived
the conversation so it turned on
true love rare.
And in accents far from jolly he de-
c!ared 'gainst friendships folly, and
In tones quite melancholy said he'd
take love for his share.
1t was, he said, admitted, that when
friendships, ghost had fitted. those
it left were to be pitied; for their
fate was sad indeed.
But when true love once had darted
through ones soul, and then de.
parted, though it left one broken
hearted, it had filled a long felt
need.
And there was no doubt about 1t,
though the skeptical might fiout it,
We could not get on without it,
though it left us in disgrace;
For it's memory always haunted, and
it was the thing we wanted. Other
things, though highly Wanted,
couldn't take it's special place.
Then he asked if he might love her,
for there was no girl above her in
his eyes. He thought only of her,
and she said: why, certainly;
