MANY CALLED
FEW TRIED
JUDGE WILCOX WAS INDISPOSED
TODAY, so JUDGE DICKEY HELD
THE POLICE COURT FOR HIM.

There was quite an assorted calendar
in the district court this morning. AL
though yesterday was Hawaiian Derby
Day, there were comparatively few
cases of intoXication. Only six cases
of drunkenness We're called.
Judge Wilcox was indispOsed, so
Judge Dickey, called court. Most of
the cases were continued. H. N. Almy
was tried on a charge fhaving sold
liquor without a license to one of the
laborers at the boat house at Pearl
Harbor some months ago. The de-
PENDANT fought the case but was found
guilty and fined $3.50 and costs. An
appeal was taken.
w. Mitchell and Aikaula the natives
charged with the robbery of a Japanese
at KamOiliil, waived premlinary exa-
mnation and We're committed to the
circuit court 70 rtrial.
The case of assault and battery
against Willie Hall of spendthrift no
toriety was nolle pressed, The native
woman Malta Haleikoa did not care to
appear against Hall.
w. MacShane and j. MacShane were
charged with having interfered with
officer BOrtfeld in the discharge of his
duty. They are charged with having
beaten the officer in Palama and forced
him to release a man whom he had ar
rested. The officer arrested the two
MacShanes however. Their cases were
continued until tomorrow.

CHASED BY
A WILD COW
SCHOOL GIRL NARROWLY rs
CAPEs SERIOUS INJURY-A cow
DROVE HER OVER FENCE.

Miss Becky De la cruz had a narrow
escape from serious injury from a wild
COW this morning. The young girl
was walking along Fort street near
Beretania, when a COW that had gotten
loose, rushed at her. The girl saw the
COW bearing down upon her. The child
had presence of mind to run for a
nearby fence and scale the fence with
one bound. The COW hooked her in
the left elbow, as the child went over
the fence.
Miss De la Cruz was naturally badly
scared, and tainted. The COW was
chased away by other people who saw
the girls narrow escape. The father
of the girl reported the occurrence to
the police.

RELIANCE AND
CONSTITUTION
THE TWO DEFENDERS SAIL A
BEAUTIFUL RACE-THEY OUT
CLASS THE COLUMBIA.

NEW YORK, May 26.-In a gamely
contested race the Reliance again today
led the way across the finish line, win
ming her second victory over the Co
lumbia and her first over the Consti-
tuition. Two minutes and fifty-one sec
onds later the Constitution finished.
From the start to the finish the Con-
stitution had fought out every mile of
the thirty-mile course and on two Of
it's legs had actually outsailed the new
boat, q performance which restores her
prestige and makes her a factor to be
reckoned with in the selection of a cup
defender
All the way down to the first mark
the Reliance and Constitution had it
very hot and, to the surprise of every
one, the old boat held the new one
wonderfully well.
When off oyster Bay the Constitu-
ton had an accident to her jib topsail
and was forced to take it in so that she
sailed the last mile of that leg with less
sail spread than the Reliance.
AS the boats ran down to the second
mark the Constitution drew up at one
time until she almost Tapped the Re-
lance, but the new boat set her spinna-
ker quickly and succeeded in pulling
away Just befC - the Constitution

/ The Columbia was for the day, out

never for moment in the race. While
! the Reliance and Constitution were
I having it out between themselves, all
the way around the course, the former
cup defender was dragging miles astern
of them and when the Reliance sailed
across the finish line the Columbia was
more than two miles almost dead to
leeward. The Reliance beat her by
fifteen minutes and ffty-one seconds
actual sailing time.
The wind held true at nine 70 twelve
knots during the race and favored none
of the racers. The conditions Were
ideal for a fair test of the three boats
The course was twice around a fifteer

WAITING FOR CLEAR NIGHTS

The work of making the final tests to
determine the correct longitude of Ho-
nolulu has not been completed. Mr..
Smith the agent of the Coast and Geo
detic Survey Office has been here about
two weeks. During that time he has
not encountered a sufficient number of
clear nights to enable him to finish
the work at this place. Only three
working nights have been experienced.
At least five nights are required.
Mr.. Morse who was here some time
ago in connection with the first part of
this work, will be a passenger on the
Naval transport Solace for Guam. He
will make similar experiments at Guam
for the purpose of determining the cor
rect longitude at that place.

HUNTING FOR A MAN WITH GUNS.

These homes had a bottom and top
of what looked like fue black hon,
Ing stone.
They were about an inch thick
and around the edges was pasted a
beautiful piece of green paper with
the words printed thereon "Keeu
Razor Hone" It was pasted on so
1t looked only like an innocent ad
vertisement. Well, John concluded
he would soak his hone In water.
He did so. That innocent
piece of paper came of and
1t was found then that 1t was not
only an advertisement but 1t
also covered a piece of wood,
just plain wood, and on the top
and bottom of this piece of wood
was a piece Of slate, pure, hard. un.
adulterated slate and nothing more.
As a hone they are not worth ten
cents a million, as sell they are
fine. Hence, the BARRIERS are Out

If they catch him there will be
funeral and that man will ride q,
