HELPED MACARTHUR
IN PHILIPPINES
MAN WHO PREVENTED MAC
ARTHUR'S DIVISION FALLING
BACK AT IMPORTANT TIME.

There is through passenger on the
5. S. Nippon Maru, well known to Cen
eral Macarthur who is now in Homo
lulu He is Captain Henry Steere
formerly of Colonel Bells 36th Infantry
regiment in the Philippines and now
the Deputy assessor of the port of Ma
Mia.
1t was in the latter part of 1899 that
Steere then a captain was brought to
the notice of General Macarthur. I'm
der command of General Macarthur
the northerly advance in the island of
Luzon was begun. The advance start
ed at San Fernando. AS usual, the
Filipino army retrSated before the
American forces who drove them
through Bambam and finally to Tarlac
where the final dispensing of the Fill
pinos occurred. The Filipinos had
gathered all of the rolling stock of the
railroad at Tarlac and there attempted
to destroy the cars and engines. 1t
was necessary to get a section of the
road from Tarlac back to Bambam a
distance of 20 miles, open to traffic
in order to bring supplies to the Anne
rican forces.
General Macarthur intrusted to
Captain Steere the difficult task of
getting the line working The four
ehslneS vi lne ROAD mad been run to-
gether by the Filipinos in a four corner
collision The engines were badly de-
molished The road had to be gotten
open to traffic within four days or else
the American forces would have had
to fall back to Bambam on account or
lack of supplies Steere was given
carte blanche. Steere had formerly been
travelling passenger agent of the
Southrn Pacific Railroad in Southern
California with headquarters at Los
Angeles, so he was we'll qualified to
handle the difficult task before him.
He recruited his force of assistants
from among the railroad men in the
various regiments of the column The
result was that within SO hours he had
cars operating to Bambam
Captain Steere is going home in a
four months leave of absence

AMERICAN ARMY
IS VERY SMALL
NO MORE MEN IN RANKS THAN
BEFORE THE SPANISH WAR
SMALL FORCE IN PHILIPPINES

The strength of the United States
army is 50, ISL officers and men. ms is
less by $4,000 officers and men than it
was October l, 1902, and is practically
the same as the strength of the army
January !, 1903. This minimum, pro-
vided for in the law of February 2, 1901.
will represent for years to come our
army on a peace footing.
OF the full army strength 1928 Off
GERS and men are in the coast artillery;
2,S77 are in the various staff depart
ments. This leaves for field service an
effective army of $4,000 men, including
infantry, cavalry, field artillery, and
engineers. OF the entire field force a.
4SO officers and men are in the thirty
infantry regiments, 1z,S40 in the fifteen
cavalry regiments, and $3.50 in the
thirty batteries of field artillery. We
have, then, for effective field service,
1920 infantry and cavalry.
OF the army 13,4S0 officers and men
are in the Philippines, 1925 in the coast
artillery, and 2,S77 in the staff depart
ments. This leaves less than 10000 in
fantry, cavalry, and artillery in the
United States ready for field operations
in case of war.
In other words, emitting the troops
in the Philippines and those required
to man the coast artillery our army is
little stronger than il was before the
Spanish war in 1oOo. However, the or
CARNATIONS remain the same as they
were when we had an army of $4,000
men and may be increased to a maxi
mum strength of 100000 men.
Under the reorganization act the
army has more mobility than under the
old rule and is kept at a higher stand
ard in efficiency If not in discipline.
The old saying was that in times Of
peace the United States army was a
good place for an idle man. 1t is not
now. Officers and men are kept busy.
More care is taken in the selection of
men and more pride is taken in what
may be called the peace work of the
infantry and cavalry regiments.
Under the old rule there was small
opportunity for drill by regiment, bril-
gade, or division. Under the new ar
rangement there have been brigade and
division drills and army maneuVers
covering the actual work Of a military
campaign. We have an army of less
than 10000 men and not even the most
rabid anti-imperialist can complain of
the expense of maintaining such an
army as we have now on duty.-Chi-
cago Inter-Ocean.

by the Neill Company is being looked
forward to with much interest by Ho-
nolulu play goers.
The play is being presented at the
popular prices which the Neill Com
pany has set for the rest of the season
in compliment to our naval visitors
and should draw a crowded house.
Barrie as a dramatist is shown at
his best. His delicate yet intense
romance, his power of character crea-
ton and his dramatic Imagination have
combined to a happy issue. The story
tells of the strike of the Thrums wea-
vers the partisanship on their side of
Lady Babbie, wilful, wild, lovable
girl, who wins the heart of the Little
Minister also embroiled in the strike.
Humor is abundant the love making
between the Little Minister (NeilD
and "Babbie' Miss Chapman) is de-
lightful and the tale of true love by
an ingenious stroke of the author
runs TO happy ending.

JAPS FIGHT
IN DEFENSE
AN ATTACK ON THE INDICTMENT
WHICH ACCUSES EIGHTY DE-
PENDANTS.

The fight over the Japanese conspira-
cy cases was begun in the United
States court this morning, with a mo-
ton to quash the indictment in which
there are so defendants named, filed by
Attorney E. M. Watson in behalf of five
of the defendants. The hearing of the
cases was postponed and the motion
will be argued by Watson and ]. j..
Dunno. 1t affects all the conspiracy
cases.
The grounds on which the defendants
ask that the cases be thrown out of
court are as follows:
And now come Kanazawa, Sekimo-
to, Yonehara, Denze Yamakawa and
Tokunaga, five of the defendants nam
ed in the indictment herein, by their
attorney, e. NJ. Watson, and move the
Court here to quash, annul and set
aside said indictment, and for grounds
of said motion they assign the follow
ing:
Il. Because said indictment charges
a conspiracy to commit no offense
known to the law.
~. Because said indictment, If
charging a conspiracy to commit any
oftense known to the law, is bad for
duplicity,-in this: That in each and
every count of said Indictment a con-
spiracy to commit two separate and
distinct offenses is charged.
y. Because said indictment is too
vague, general, insufficient and uncer-
tain to afford said defendants proper
notice to plead and prepare their de-
tenses, and in this is violative of the
Sixth Amendment OF the Constitution
of the United States, which provides
that in all criminal prosecutions the
accused shall have the constitutional
right to be informed of the nature and
the cause of the accusation against
him.

THE OUTCOME OF DISBARMENT.

Editor Adverer-A communication, published in yesterdays
Advertiser presented and important phase of the late dbaen

unassad and that this might indicate low the
Honolulu bar Such Inference however, forcby and Justly
1epedand and searching adherence to the American
standard of professional honor advocated.
these views The convicted lawyers appealed to
Caesar and evidently supposed that conception of practice which
existed themselves and the few who in the
category would be applied But they mistaken The Supreme
firmly upheld Standard which exists in Great
Britain and her colonies and dependencies This action tended Iii
recy towards the Americanaon of the Hawaiian Islands, while
involved daagemen of the able and honorable law
e who have dgnfed practice under the governments that preceded

The decisions however, were fair notice that halt will be called
in the dsrepube methods of few practitioners, who have made
much noise and confusion that mahni might be duped into the
belief that they represented the local administration of the

SOME DOUBT
ADMIT
Gear Is Not Sure
About Estee's
Decree.

Another stage in the habeas corpus
writ by which Chu Kin alias Jue GU
is trying to get the woman Jung Hing s
two little children away from her was
reached before Judge Gear yesterday
Law was quoted ON behalf of the Pc.
titioner for whom ]. w. Cathcart ap.
peared, to the effect that petition
er for habeas corpus may go from one
court to another, until the entire judi
cial authority of state has been en-
listed, to seek his claimed rights, and
that the custody of the children was
not considered by Judge Estee in maxi
ing his decree that gave the mother
her liberty from the slavery in which
she had been held by Jue Gun.
j. w. Cathcart for Jung Hing, the
respondent, quoted authorities to show
that any question decided by one court
in habeas corpus proceedings was res
judicata as to such question, otherwise
the writ intended for protection of
liberty might be made an engine of
tyranny and oppression, and argued
that Judge Estee's finding that Jue
Gun was not the lawfully welded
husband of Jung Hing virtually set
at Judicial rest the question of the
custody of the children.
Judge Gear ruled against the petit
toner that Judge Estee's opinion and
decree should be admitted as evidence.
Against the respondent he ruled that
the petitioner was entitled to a hear
ing. The petition was continued, pur-
suant to the latter ruling, until 10
O'Clock tomorrow morning
ntol
If Judge Estee intended by his dellv-
FRANCES to imply that the woman was
the lawful custodian of the children,
then the court itself as we'll as coun-
sci for the petitioner violated the
decree OF the other court.

proving of the investment of $1,000
