For CONTEMPT.
--- - Up

80 long as the answer will not tend
to incriminate himself the witness must
answer" declared Peters, "and his re-
fusal is plainly a contempt" -
"As the contempt alleged was not
within the hearing on the court said
Judge Robinson, "it seems to me that
the witness accused should be properly
cited to appear and show cause why he
should not be punished. He can then
have the benefit of counsel's advice
and there can be no charge made of UNI
due haste"
The Deputy Attorney General insist
ed that the loss OF time would serious
ly hamper the Grand Jury in its worN
and again repeated that the recalcitrant
witness, his counsel and all of the wit
nesses were present and that the court
was in session with full power to deal
with the case and pressed that the
hearing should take place forthwith,
but the judge did not see matters that
way and ordered that the matter
should be brought up again at 4 this
afternoon.
Just what the unanswered question
put to Renault may have been is
known only to the Grand Jurors, Dep
uty Attorney General Peters and Re-
nault himself at present, though as 1t
transpired that he was asked the name
of a certain person and refused to give
it, a fair guess may be made as to the
character of the investigation now be-
fore the Grand Jury.
Renaut for a long time has been
agent for a large number of properties
in Iwilei which are rented solely and
only for purposes of prostitution. Re-
Gently, since the policy of allowing I'M
fortunate women to ply their trade UNI
mOlested in this section has been in
force, there has been an increased de-
mand for accommodations and rents
have gone up. Renault has notified
many tenants that they will have to
pay larger prices after their months ex-
pire, the rents in some cases being
more than doubled.
AS it was not a part of the policy of
the new administration to have the re-
form methods used merely to fatten the
ghouls who live on the proceeds of HUI
man degradation, it would seem prob
able that the Grand Jury is anxious to
find the names of the real owners Of
the property so rented with view to
proceeding against them under the
statute.

EVA BONDS WILL
Be PAID SATURDAY
NOT DUE UNTIL JANUARY l, BUT
TON DECEMBER 81.

The Bank of Hawaii and the Eva
Plantation Company stand ready to
cash both coupons and bonds of the
100000 of Eva bonds redeemable the
first of the year, on Saturday next, the
3lst of December.
Eva Plantation Company notified
bondholders some time ago that $780,
600 of its bonds would be redeemed jan
uary l, leaving only 100000 of bonded
Indebtedness existing, and this will be
paid off July l, when there will be no
more of the bond issue left outstand-
ing.
While the 100000 are not due until
January l, they will be paid, both prin-
cipal and interest on December 81. The
Bank Of Hawaii already has about
$4,000 of the 100000 of bonds to be
redeemed in its valuts.
one reason for the desire to pay these
bonds the day before they are due, is
on the part of the bank at least so that
II Will have that much less cash in its
vaults on January ! on which to pay
taxes. Taxes are assessed as of the
first of January, and the less cash there
is in the vaults, the less taxes the bank
Will have to pay.

There was a furry of excitement in
Judge Robinson's court this morning
about IL o'clock when the tramp Of
many feet was heard in the corridor
and the Grand Jury, headed by Deputy
Attorney General Peters and Foreman
Tucker, entered, while bringing up the
rear was Leon Renault in charge of a
policeman.
The court was busy with the Hawaii
an Dredging Company's case against
the Territory, but this was dropped
temporarily until it could be ascertain
ed just what was the cause of the
Grand Jury's perturbation.
Your honor" said the Deputy At
torney General the Grand Jury wish
es to have Leon Renault punished for
contempt. He had been summoned to
appear before the Grand Jury to give
evidence on a matter under investiga-
ton, and when asked a certain ques-
ton he refused to answer it. He after
wards gave evasive answers, plainly in
an attempt to lead the Jury astray.
This court is now in session, the wit
ness is here in court and the testimony
of any or all of the grand jurors can
be had at once, 1 therefore move that
your honor punish Renault for con-
tempt to this court, the Grand Jury be-
ing a portion of the court"
Attorney Cathcart, who was present
in court on the dredging case happens
to be Renault's attorney, so he stepped
up for the defence,
1T Is not the province of the Grand
Jury to go into every thing and every
thing" he said, land a man may prop
erly decline to answer any question if
the subject matter of that question is
not proper. In any event the case
should be put in correct form before
the court and a due showing made.
The court must know what the ques-
tions asked were, and what was the
subject under enquiry. 1t is absurd to
suppose that this court is going to pun
ish any man for contempt on the mere
oral statement by the Deputy Attorney
General"
Peters stated that he was ready to go
on at any time, and turning to the
question of the rights of witnesses be-
fore the Grand Jury suggested that il
would be a fine state of affairs if a wit
ness were allowed to use his own dis
erection as to what questions he should
answer, or whether he should answer
at all.

READY
FOR THE FIGHT
MODLIN AND McFADDEN HARD
AT WORK PREPARING FOR
THEIR MILL.

Both Modlin and McFadden are con-
fident of winning next Monday nights
battle at the Orpheum, but neither is
letting up for an instant in his work.
McFadden and Bill Huihui are training
together in the II. A. c. gymnasium
and the soldier with Jack Weday is
doing his work at Long Branch.
The fight between Ryan and Huihui
is attracting a good deal of attention as
both men are going through and mean
to win. Ryan is a trihe the favorite.
The sale of seats opened this morn
ing and a good demand was made for
the choice positions at the ring side.
McFadden and Modlin will meet to-
day and select a referee. Some one
satisfactory to both men and the club
will be chosen. The club will insist up
on some good responsible man whose
reputation is beyond reproach. Partic-
ular precautions are being taken by the
management to see that all contests
are fairly fought.
Over 200 sports were up i'm the II. a.
c. gymnasium yesterday to see Huihui
and McFadden do their afternoons
work. Both men show the effects OF
their training and either man could en-
ter the ring at a moments notice.
There was also a large crowd that
journeyed out to Long Branch to see
the two soldiers do their work Mod
lin boxed six fast rounds with Jack
Weday. Weday was unable to touch
the shifty little lad from Camp McKin-
ley and if MOdlin can show much more
improvement he will soon be able to
secure a match with Jimmy Britt.
