A BURIAL AT TWILIGHT.

THE following composition, writ
ten by citizen of Frankfort, was
first published a few years ago;
and, there having been several
requests recently that it be re-
published. the author has kindly
furnished us with the copy, and
we gladly give it space in our
paper.
The writer recently had occasion
to visit our beautiful cemetery late
in the afternoon. and while in that
peaceful retreat witnessed :he close

GEORGE A. DAVIS CASE ON trial
UNITED STATES JUDGE DOLE TAKES UP THE DISBAR-
MENT HEARING-ALL THE OLD WITNESSES PRES
ENT AND THE TESTIMONY. BEGINS ON THE SAME
GENERAL. LINES AS IN THE FORMER CASE.

The George A. Davis disbarment case
was begun this morning before United
States Judge Dole, with a large num-
Der of those who attended the former
hearings in the Territorial Supreme
Court present. The hearing was great
ly similar to the former Summer dis
barment hearings, though the proceed
ings were not so noisy as in Davis Iast
case. John K. Sumner was present all
the morning and appeared to be an in
terested listener to che testimony.
The testimony of Wally Davis wa
taken without many objections on the
record. In most cases where the re-
spondent made an objection he with
drew it after discussion. Once Judge
Dole induced him to do so by stating
that he regarded the objection as i'm
proper, and once District Attorney
Breckons brought about the same re-
suit by a reference to quoting The ERit-
ed States Attorney General liter
calling for a thorough" investigat on,
Judge Dole noted the testimony very
diligently and was even with the eteno-
grapher in quoting statements of the
witness when they were called in Ques-
ton. There were a few sharp passages
between the attorneys.
Walie Davis appeared to have a good
recollection of many of the details Of
the various Sumner suits and transact
tions He went again over all the
ground covered in the former-hear,mg,
telling how Davis asked him to bring,

WORK ON
NEW CODE

The code commission, appointed un-
der an act of the last Legislature, is
holding nightly meetings now, to go
through the laws of the monarchy, Re
public and Territory and codify them.
The commission consists of Chief JUS
tice Frear of the Supreme Court, A. A.
Wilder and A. F. Judd. The commits
siop has found it's task to be a vast one
ana will have difficulty in finishing by
the time the next legislature meets,
when a report is to be made.
The report is to be a complete COM
pilation, in the most approved modern
FORM of the laws of Hawaii The an
rotations will include historic informa-
ton about each section and references
TO other sections of law bearing upon
them and to decisions constituting them.
The work Will be such one as Ha-
wall has never had, but which at
torneys have long desired. The index
will be as comprehensive as it can be
made.
1t is the general opinion of attorneys
that the laws of Hawaii are gravely
lacking in proper compilation and in
deXing. No effort at an elaborate in
dex has ever been made, and the
changes of form of government and
legislatures meeting since the last
compilation have left the islands with
out any complete work on the laws.
The code commissioners are going
over every law that was ever passed
here. Every section is being traced
back and under it in the forthcoming
book will be found notes giving the
results of the tracing, as well as the
other references often so valuable to
attorneys in consulting law books. The

EDUCATION
INJURIES NEGROES

Gov James X. Vardaman, in his in
augural address delivered before a
joint session OF the Mississippi I.egisla-
ture, declared that the growing ten
dency of the negro to commit criminal
assault on white women Is nothing
more nor less than the manifestations
of the racial desire for social equality.
In strong terms he declared that edu-
cation Is the curse OF the negro race.
and urged an amendment to the state
constitution that win place the distrib-
ution of the common school fund solely
within the power OF the Legislature.
Continuing his discussion of the negro
question, Gov Vardaman said: "As a
race he is deteriOrating morally every

this point.
Davis then withdrew his objection
and motion to strike out and the evil
dence went into the record with some
more along the same lines.

account of Davis securing note from

peared from the testimony that he did
not get the money and did not return
the note. You may state whether or
not he ever said anything about why he

The respondent objected on the
ground that such evidence was not ad-
missible. He produced his power of at
tOrney from Summer and argued from
II that his acts were not to be attack
ed as was being done. Judge Dole re-
marked that the evidence asked for was
what Davis himself had said. The
question was read again, and Davis
pressed his objection, asking for a rul-
ing from the court.
Mr.. DAVIS, this is an investigation
INTO your conduct ana I do not think it
is proper for you to make such an o.
lection" said Judge Dole.
I'm that case I withdraw the objec-
ton" said Davis, and the testimony
went on uninterrupted after that.
Breckons finished with Wanie Davis
shortly after II o'clock and cross-ex-
animation was begun.

STORM BECOMING
VERY. DISASTROUS
SIXTY THOUSAND DOLLARS. DAMAGES BELIEVED TO
HAVE BEEN DONE IN ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS STREAM
DESCRIBED AS A RIVER THIRTY FEET WIDE AND
FIFTEEN FEET DEEP.

Passengers on an early car from
Waikiki this morning saw a chicken
coop floating easily stewards on Ma
kiki stream. There were chickens in
it, but they didn't seem to be worrying
over their ride on the muddy river,
not being aware of the coming chances
for the oyerturning of their ark when
it reached the bridge. On either. bank
or che stream were several Chinese
running wildly to and fro and shouting
VII they thought they could call the
chickens back.
The chicken coop was only one OF
numerous things which the storm OF
yesterday afternoon and last night
washed down the stream A large
number OF residents near the stream
above King street were up an night,

The line was cut in two. Cars could
not pass. A dray was impressed into
the service as a ferry to carry passen-
gers across the water, the cars al
ready on the waikiki. side keeping up
that end of the service. while the cars
on the town side kept up the service
on this side. After a while Metro
pOlitan delivery wagon was impressed
into the service in aid of the dTay.
Later a covered bus was put in COM
mission and was used this morning. So
great was the volume of water pouring
down Piikoi street that it flooded King
street both ways, as far as Keeaumoku
in one direction. Every effort was
made to carry it away. A breach was
made in the stone wall on the lower
side of King street, and a torrent was
carried off through the pasture at that
place. An opening was made through
the sidewalk and a big stream was
carried down through the Chinese vege-
table garden on this side of Piikoi. On
the other side of Piikoi the water from
King street flowed over the sidewalk
and toward the sea through several
of the houselots on the lower side.
The Hotel street line of the rapid
transit was also stopped for a while
at Piikoi street, but the interruption
was of short duration.
All over the city the streets show the
effects of the heavy rain.
About o'clock yesterday afternoon
a falling tree broke the wires supply
ing the Plains section of the Hawaiian
Electric Company's system, and little
later another falling tree near the Chi
nese consulate at Thomas Square put
the Makih system out of commission.
The Waikiki system was cut off for
about three quarters of an hour while
the danger from live wires was OBJ
Waited. There was another break of
small section up Nuuanu valley.

My own idea is that the character OF

changed. If, after years of earnest eff

only succeeded in making a criminal

rectly from the station at San Souci.
The apparatus for sending messages
from Sans Souci is not in place at that

would ensue before such installation
could be made.
