COURTS OF
TERRITORY
Chief Justice Frear Ex-
plains how They Are
Organized.

| The courts of the Territory are pret-
ty effectually covered in Governor Car
ter's annual report to the Secretary OF
the Interior. Writing of the Judiciary
proper, Chief Justice W. F. Frear says:
{. The first four-year period in the
history of this Territory has just come
TO close, and with it important
changes have taken place in the Ter
ritoriaI judiciary Alfred S. Hartwell
and Francis NJ. Hatch succeed Clinton
A. Galbraith and Antonio Perry as as
sociate justices of the supreme court,
and A. n. Kepoikai John A. Matthew
man. and c. F. Parsons succeed John
w. Kalua, w. S. Edings, and Gilbert
F. Little, respectively, as judges of
the second, third, and fourth circuit
courts.
The courts of Hawaii correspond
with the courts in the States rather
than the courts In the other Terrific
ries. There is a United States dis
trict court which has also the juris-
diction of United States circuit court,
and there are distinct Territorial
courts. The latter are in general a
supreme court consisting of chief
justice and two associate justices, five
circuit courts, each presided over by
a circuit judge, except that the first
circuit court has three judges, and
twenty-nine district courts held by
district ma gistrates. Cases may be
taken from the supreme court, as from
the State supreme courts, only to the
Federal Supreme Court on writ of er-
ror and only when Federal questions
are involved. The jurisdiction of the
supreme court is mostly appellate. |
Cases are brought to it by appeal, writ |
of error, or exceptions. 1t holds one
term a year, beginning the first Mon |
day in October and continuing until !
final adjournment the following sum- |
mer. The circuit courts have general
original risdictions; also appellate
jurisdiction in cases from the district
courts. They hold. as a rule. three
terms a year, varying in length from
a few weeks to four months. The dis
trict courts have jurisdiction of mis-
demeanors and, with some exceptions.
Of civil cases in which the amount in
voIved does not exceed $500. They hold
no terms. but sit continuously. Be
sides these courts of general nature
there are other courts or tribunals of
\ special nature among when
special mention may be made of the

bottle contained colorless liquid,
said to be eye medicine. SEN

the cork and then, unnoticed by
Senator Tillman, replaced the
bottle to the latter's pocket.
The senate and galleries were
convulsed with laughter. Sen

of the by-play, but not so with
Senator Bailey. He was not
pleased with the procedure, and
exclaimed sharply: "When this

The Chairman raped the senate

Later, when Senator Tillman
had been told of the incident,
he walked to the seat of Senator
Warren and taking the bottle
from his pocket, offered it in the
attitude of one proferring a drink

Senator Tillman said: Eve de-

Senator Bailey, in the course of
his remarks, said there had been

people were now paying $780,

Senator Bailey also referred to
the rural free delivery system,
saying that $2O,OOO,OOO is now
being expended to carry mail to
people who would prefer going
after it.
Senator Tillman observed that

In the United States court OF claims
at Washington the chief justice an
nounced in the case OF the state OF
South Carolina against the United
States to recover various sums paid
by the state OF South Carolina As Gpe-
cial taxes for the sale Of liquors in the
state at the various dispensaries by
the officials in charge of these dispen-
saries that the petition OF the state or
South Carolina was dismissed.
This is one of the most important
cases that has come before Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue Yerkes for
decision since he has been in office.
The state of South Carolina made claim
before him for the refund of these
taxes upon the ground that the state
dispensary law was constitutional as
decided by the supreme court of the
United States. and that the collection
of these taxes was in reality a tax
levied upon state officials and therefore
upon the exercise of a governmental
function and power. The court re-
iccted the claims and suit was then
brought in the court Of claims and by
its decision Mr.. Yerkes is sustained.
