Mate Worth gave the following story
OF the affair to an Advertiser reporter:
ION Saturday afternoon as we were
being towed out to sea we found seven
Japanese stowaways aboard. These
were in addition to our crew of four
teen, comprising five Chilanos, seven
Japanese, one German and one Hol-
, lander. We sent the stowaways
ashore. That evening we came to
anchor off Pearl Harbor Our sending
the stowaways off seemed to stir up

up.

Tourist Promotion.

OF course the continued storms of the
past month incline to dampen the ardor
of tourists, but bright days are coming
and with them tourists are also coming.

Committee is beginning to tell, and its
results will be realized this summer

they should be encouraged to visit Ha-

nolulu hotels, might at first suffer by
losing these people for short time,
but they would be the gamers In the

would carry back glowing reports which
would largely increase travel from the

than reward the Honolulu hotel people

A BLANK
CARTRIDGE

First Mate Worth of the Chilian ship
Othello was arraigned in Judge Dick
eys court yesterday on a charge of
assault on a Japanese seaman with a
weapon obviously dangerous to life.
The weapon is described as a loaded
revolver. The case was set over until
Thursday to await a report on the con-
dition of the Japanese who lies at the
Queens hospital with bullet wound
in his neck.
The alleged victim of the mate is said
to be in a precarious condition, but
with the chances in his favor for re-
covery.
The mate was arrested yesterday
morning by Captain Harry Flint of the
harbor police, just as the anchor was
being weighed preparatory to depar-
ture for Port Townsend. The chain
was paid out again when Flint board
ed the vessel and the mate was
brought to Honolulu in Durrants
launch.
On arrival at the police station the
mate was placed in Jail without bail
being allowed, owing to the condition
of the wounded man.
prisoner was brought before Judge
Dickey, and was formally charged.
Attorney Chillingworth will defend
him.
Captain Flint left Honolulu for the

Harbor, about II p. IN. Sunday, Ow-

Yasuda. n Japanese sailor, was
brought ashore from the Chilean bark
Othello last night with a bullet
through his neck, alleged to have been
placed there by Captain Wesley, be-
cause he wouldn't leave the vessel fast
enough.
A charge of assault with a deadly
weapon has been placed against the
captain and Captain Flint was sent
down to place the man under arrest
Yasuda was taken to the Queens Hos
pital and will recover unless blood
poisoning sets in.
According to the story told High
Sheriff Brown by fellow Japanese sail
ors who were on the vessel with va
suda, the assault was entirely unpro-
voked. Four or five days ago, six
Japanese were shipped as able seamen
on the Othello for the voyage to Van
couver Eight Porto Ricans, with two
other Japs who were working their pas
sages formed the crew.
Kadoshi. one of the Japanese, signed
the complaint against the captain last
policeman who acted as interpreter, he
said that the six Japanese shipped four
days ago with Captain Wesley. The
Othello sailed at one o'clock Saturday
for Port Townsend, but did not use the
tug The south wind drove the vessel
inshore off Pearl Harbor about mid
night, when the captain dropped an
Choir. Then, according to the Japa-
nese. the captain became dissatisfied
with the work of the Japs and sent
boat ashore for a new crew. When
the four seamen who had been shipped
arrived alongside the six Japanese were
ordered down in the hold by the cap
tain, according to Kadoshi. No sooner
had they got down than they were
ordered back again and then the cap
tain told them to get their belongings
together and get into the launch. The
Japs meekly obeyed and appeared on
deck with their bundles. They began
climbing down into Durrant's launch
and all but Yasuda and Kadoshi were
over the side, when according to the
latter's story, the captain became angry
because Yasuda didn't move fast
enough. Kadoshi says that the cap
tain bel n cursing Yasuda and finally
kicked him, ordering him to move live
ly. He then reached to his hip pocket
and fired at Yasuda, striking him in
the throat. The Jap was not so badly
wounded that he could not climb over
the side and managed to Chamber over
into the launch without assistance.
Captain Durrant was at the vessels
side when the shooting occurred. hav-
ing just landed the four white seamen.
He said that the shooting occurred
about $3.50 o'clock and though he heard
the shot, could not see what had &C.
cured, as he was some twenty feet
away. Captain Durrant brought the
wounded man and the five sailors to
the city, taking them directly to the
police station. High Sheriff Brown was
summoned and Immediately sent Cap
tain Flint with a warrant for the ar
rest of Wesley. The Othello is laying
off Pearl Harbor, about twelve miles
from the city.
The information against the captain,
designated as John Doe, was sworn to
before Judge Lindsay by Kadoshi, who
claimed to have witnessed the shoot

Open VEN|RE
IS ILLEGAL
The Murder Trial
Abruptly
Ends.

Judge Robinson yesterday afternoon
discharged all of the eleven jurors who
had passed for cause in the Jones MUIR
der case, also all the jurors summon
ed in a second open venire. and was
about to order a change of venue to
another Circuit when counsel for the
defense obtained a continuance till this
morning to give time for considering
the new situation thus suddenly precip-
itated. 1t came Immediately at the
opening of the court after the noon re-
cess. Following is the decision of Judge
Robinson in full, which is self-explana-
tory:
RULING OF THE COURT.
Since the motion was made, gentle
men, for the issuance of an open venire
after the exhaustion of the $50 names.
this matter has come to my attention,
contained in the case of Hawaii VS..
Mankichi, decided by the Supreme
Court of the United States and con-
tanned in 100 United States at page 2l7.
After dwelling at some length upon
the points involved in that case, Ha-
wall vs. Mankichi, Mr.. Justice Brown
uses the following language:
ut is insisted, however, that, as the
common law of England had been
adopted in Hawaii by the code of 1897,
it was within the power of the courts
to summon a grand jury, and that such
action might have been taken and
criminals tried upon indictments prop
erly found, and convicted by unan-
imous verdict. The suggestion is rather
fanciful than real, since section 1109 of
the code of 1897
(This is the law of 1892 as amended
in 1908 upon which you based your OBJ
lection to the granting of the motion,
Mr.. Robertson)
adopting the common law of En-
gland contained a proviso that no per-
son shall be subject to criminal pro-
ceedings except as provided by the Ha-
waiian laws These laws provided eX-
pressly (section GIG, Penal Laws of 1880
as follows: The necessary bills of in
dictment shall be duly prepared by
legal prosecuting officer, and be duly
presented to the presiding judge of a
court before the arraignment of the ac-
cused, and such judge shall, after ex-
animation, certify upon each bill of in
dictment whether he finds the same
true bill or not The question thus
squarely presented to every judge in
the Republic was, whether he was
bound to summon grand jury under
