writers approach the subject in an en-
tirely different way from Judge Fitz'

devoted 10 a legal argument, and the
Independent must say that is the best
that ever came under its notice. on
that side OF the question. Judge Fitz
gerald takes the coulnd that under
the Constitution, Congress can uOt
make anything except gold and silver
coin a legal tender. He dos not make
the ridiculous assertions that most
lawyers hare made in supporting thai
proposition. He acknowledges the full
force OF the quantitIve theory Of money.
He says that all money is fat money
but il anything besides silver and
gold coin is made a legal tender, the
constitution must first be changed.

DISMISS MAHAULU.
MOTION ARGUED BEFORE JUDGE
GEAR THIS AFTERNOON-TH
DEFENSE'S CLAIM.

At the opening of the case for the
defence this afternoon in the trial of
Stephen Mahaulu before Judge Gear,
Attorney Thompson, moved that the
judge instruct the jury to dismiss the
second count of the indictment, that
of the defendants having embezzled
$4,000 paid i'm as rents of land by the
Waianae Company,
Thompson based his argument on his
allegations that the prosecution had
failed to prove that Mahaulu had ever
received this $4,000 in money, that he
had ever converted it to his own use,
that no demand had been made on
him for it, that it had not been shown
that the amount had been taken with
out the consent of the owner and that
there had been wide divergence be-
tween the allegations of the indictment
and the proof produced
Assistant Attorney General Prosser
opposed the motion insisting that the
prosecution had traced the stolen
money to the defendant beyond perad-
venture and had produced the receipt
in the handwriting of the defendant
showing that he had received It.
Judge Gear win rule this afternoon.

ORDERS ISSUED
TO SEGREGATE
EDICT HAS GONE FORTH
RIGHT HAND SIDE OF ROAD.

The police are working secretly but
nevertheless actively in the matter of
the segregation of Japanese and other
dissolute women. Orders have been
passed around to the various japanese
women that they will have to live on
the right hand side of the Iwilei road.
Tt had been thought by many people
that the segregation would be at the
old Iwilei stockade but the orders
against this place being selected have
been positively made. 1t is claimed
that there are not enough quarters on
the proposed site to house all Of the
women.
The police are not desirous of ap-
pearing very prominently i'm the hand
ling of these women but nevertheless,
the authorities are sending out orders
for the women to be prepared to move
next week to the new quarters. The
idea of the authorities. is understood,
to be to concentrate all of the prosti-
tutes in the Iwilei section as was for
merly done when the notorious old
stockade was operating.

ALAMEDA WENT
AWAY EMPTY
so FAR AS CABIN PASSENGERS
WERE CONCERNED-MAY HAVE
RACE WITH THE SIBERIA.

For the first time i'm her history, the
S. S. Alameda sailed this morning for
San Francisco without cabin pas
senger. The vessel so far as the cabin
was concerned, seemed as empty as a
barn, but such a condition did not
exist in the steerage. Nearly $50 pas
sengers departed i'm the steerage. The
Alameda had also a full cargo of
freight
The S. S. Siberia took all the cabin
passengers that were to depart from
Honolulu and they were few enough,
about twenty-four passengers leaving
by the Siberia.
Captain Dowdel of the Alameda said
that he was not going to race with
the Siberia. He proposes however to
get into San Francisco about o'clock
next Tuesday morning, provided the
weather be good. Whether there will
be any race" will depend upon the
Siberia. The latter sailed at noon to-
day, three hours after the Alameda
but it is not probable that Captain
Smith of the Siberia will drive his YES
sci very hard to beat the Alameda into
San Francisco. 1t is not unlikely how
ever that it will be nip and tuck be-
tween the craft, but as Captain Dow
dell puts it, the Siberia will know she
has been burning coal If she gets up
much ahead of the Alameda.
The mail up to a. m. this morning
was put aboard the Alameda and mail
| subsequent to that time up to 10 o'clock
was put aboard the Siberia. The two
vessels should arrive at practically the
same time next Wednesday.
