Sea Acted In Strange
Manner At HOOk0na Sunday

ly the boats from the steamer can be
sent in alongside the wharf. This could
not be done. The only way the passen-
bers could be landed was by having the
natives ashore draw the boat up on
the beach with a rope. In order to get
the freight ashore from the steamer a
line of boats were placed nose to nose,
and the freight passed by hand along
to the shore. Owing to the freight
from shore being heavy it could not be
handled until after high water came in
and the boats could be gotten alongside
the wharf.
At Kailua low water was experienced
yesterday morning. The working OF
freight was materially delayed on this
account as only one boat could be got
ten ashore at a time. Whenever the sea
acts in this peculiar way the volcano
gen rally begins to show signs OF
activity.

AND THE FLAG
SOME QUESTIONS RELATING TO
THEM IN THE PHILIPPINES TO
COME BEFORE sUPRME COURT.

Attorney General L. r. Whitley of
the Philippines, who passed through
Honolulu with Governor Taft is on his
way to Washington to argue several
cases before the Supreme Court involv-
ing constitutional questions now pend
ing on appeal from the Supreme court
of the Philippine islands.
The right Of trial by jury in the
islands will be determined by one of
them. The act of Congress giving civil
government to the Philippines does
not contain the clause of the Consti
tuition which guarantees this right of
trial by jury It is contended that this
act is in violation of the Constitution
because it does not bestow the right,
which it is further commended, exists
by virtue of the fact taht the islands
are territory of the United States.
The position of the government of
the Philippine islands, which is to be
represented by Attorney General viii
fey, is that the jury system can only
be extended to the archipelago by an
act of Congress. While the principle
of the question. has been passed upon
In the "insu!lf ca 5es,' this particular
point has never been before the court.
Another case involves the question
Of jeopardy. The Philippine Govern
ment act provides that no person shall
be twice placed in jeopardy of punish
ment for the same offense. The Span
ish law, which was in existence at the
time that this act was passed, gives the
government the right of appeal from
judgments of acquittal in criminal
cases. The question raised is Does,
the act of Congress repeal the Spanish
law" Jeopardy exists under the Span
ish law just as under the common
law with the exception that under the
common law, it attaSnes at the con-
clusion of the verdict of the jury, while
under the Spanish law it does not at
tach until the case has been passed
upon by the Supreme Court
The Supreme Court of the Philip
pines has held by unanimous decision,
that the act of Congress does not re-
peal the old Spanish law

TO PROVIDE
MORE OFFICES
IMMIGRATION OFFICIALS WILL
AT ALLEN STREET PLACE.

Some greatly needed renovauons are
to be made at the office of the immigra-
ton bureau. At the present time
there is only one large office with a
little section parttioned off All OF
the force of inspectors clerks and in
terpreters stay in this Office Arrange
ments have been made whereby the
immigration officials are to be given
extra office room.
Makai of the present Office on Alien
street is a large room which has been
used by the Customs house officials
BY arrangement with Collector Stack
able this rear room is to be turned over
to the immigration authorities. The
intention s to make two offices out OF
the new room. Instead of the little
partitions that do not reach to the cefl-
ing that are in the present immigra-
ton offices, partitions converting the
new room into two rooms will be in
stalled.
The idea is to give the officials plenty
of room in which to conduct their eK-
aminations and also to enable neces-
sary privacy to be had. The examina-
tons of people seeking admission are
now held in Inspector Browns Office
which is separated from the main Office
by a low partition. Witnesses can
overhear practically all Of the ques-
lions and answers that are made and
when they are called on behalf of the
applicant for admission can give their
testimony so as to corroborate the
claims that the applicant makes. The
new offices will enable such eXamina-
lions to be conducted in perfect Sc
crecy. Additional Office room win also
| be obtained.

The sea acted in a remarkable way
off the Kona coast this week. News of
the occurrence was brought this morn
ing by the steamer Mauna Loa which
arrived from her run to Lahaina, Maa-
laea, Kona and Kau ports. The action
of the sea was very similar to the ac-
ton of the water at Punaluu last year.
The tide went out to an unusual degree
on that occasion and this week the wa
ter did the same.
The peculiar action of the sea was
noticed at Hookena and Kailua. At
Hookena the vessel was delayed from
1880 p. m. until 1880 o'clock Sunday
night waiting for the tide to rise 50
that freight could be taken from the
wharf. When the Mauna Loa arrived
at Hookena Captain Simerson discov-
cred to his surprise that there was an
astonishing low tide prevailing. Usual

STILL ELLING

George A. Davis this morning added
one more to his long list of petitions
for a rehearing, motions, etc, in his
disbarment case. 1t is a supplemental
petition, for a rehearing, and contains
as its main argument the alleged dis
qualification of Chief Justice Frear and
Associate Jpstice Perry.
Davis states in his latest petition that
Frear is a trustee of the Oahu Railway
and Land Company and that as such
he receives a salary of $500 per year
from the company. AS the Oahu Rail-
way Company was concerned in the
Sumner deals, Davis claims that this
made Frear disqualified to hear his
case. The court passed upon the ques-
ton in its last decision, but it is now
brought up again.

the old appropriation bills must be by
the governor and treasurer both, and
Kepoikai has approved the plan. II
Fisher or Kepoikai had objected, there
would have been a chance to make an
issue in the court, but as it is matters
are going smoothly and there appears
to be no need for litigation.
Unless the matter should be brought
into court by some citizen who wants
to test it, the administration will prob
ably continue to the end of the period,
under the old appropriation laws. The
salaries and pay rolls of several depart
ments of the government were made up
for January under the old law. Fisher
approved all the warrants and Kepoikai
handed out the cash.

HAS
QUEER EXCEPTION
RECOGNIZED BY THE COURT FOR
THE PURPOSE OF EXCEPTING
TO REFUSAL TO RECOGNIZE HIM

Judge De Bolt this morning gave a
decision and announced rule Of court
to the effect that no changes or with
drawals of counsel shall be permitted
or recognized by the court except when
filed in writing. In his decision he re-
fused to recognize c. w. Ashford as
counsel for the Wing Wo Lung Com
pany, struck out a motion which Ash
ford filed in behalf of the company and
gave execution against the company,
all because the record did not show
that Ashford was attorney for the con-
Germ
The decision was given in the case OF
McChesney & Sons VS.. Wing Wo Lung
Company, in which the plaintiffs .secur-
ed a Judgment for $712O. At the trial
E. A. Douthitt appeared for plaintiff
and S. F. Chillingworth for defendants.
A motion for a new trial was latter filed
by c. w. Ashfordas counsel for defend
ants. On a motion being made by
Douthitt to strike the Ashford motion
from the files, on the ground that there
had been no legal substitution of coun-
sci, de Bolt held that Ashford could
not be recognized in the case.
Il have not the slightest doubt of Mr..
Ashford's good faith, said the judge,
but it is necessary for the guidance
of both court and counsel that the re-
cords should show whom we are dealing
with. Mr.. Chillineworth appears as
counsel for the defendant and while l
believe that Mr.. Ashford is prefectly
sincere in coming here as substituted
counsel, still it might make much
trouble to allow substitutions in that
way. Suppose that he and Mr.. Chill
ingwOrth did not understand the matter
the same? The case might lead to
much trouble" ....
Judge De Bolt passed some more high
compliments to Ashford and then held
the latter wasn't in the case and that
this motion couldn't be recognized at
all win the court recognize me to the
extent of allowing me to note an excep-
ton to the courts ruling?" said Ash
ford. Judge De Bolt consented and
Ashford was recognized to except to the
courts refusal to recognize him.
A motion for an exception was made
by DOuthitt and the court granted it,
ordering execution to issue at once for
the $71.2O. The judgs then had the fol-
lowing rule posted at the door of the
court:
Neither party to a cause shall change
his attorney of record without leave of
Court or a Judge thereof; nor shall any
attorney of record in any cause with
draw therefrom without leave of Court
or a Judge thereof. g Am. & Eng. En-

Davis claims in the new petition that
his disbarment is in violation of the
constitution of the United States and
amendments his right to practice his
profession being a constitutional one.
He repeats his forNer allegations of
Perry's disqualification, and asks to be
allowed to produce the trust deed Of
the Oahu Railway Company to prove
that Frear is a trustee.
The petition for disbarment of Davis
in the Federal court will probably be
filed by District Attorney Breckons this
week. Davis will ask Judge Dole to
hear 1t at once, and the case may be
presented to the court next week The
charges to be filed by Breckons will be
much similar to those which were made

Official Numbering
Has Been Stopped

The bureau of City Murderer is one
of those in connection with which the
administration has been economizing.
In fact the economizing has gone to
the extent of cutting out the bureau
altogether and City Murderer Murphy
has ceased his work. He was engaged
in the completion of a block book
which would have showed every lot in
Honolulu, with its official number ow-
nership, etc. Governor Carter and
superintendent Holloway decided that
this was one of the bureaus which the
government could do without, for the
time beln7 at least.
About seventy per cent of the work
planned by Murphy had been completed
when he ceased his duties. This leaves
about thirty par cent of the official
numbering Of lots still to be done. The
books and records OF the bureau are in
the possession of the public works de-
