THE SHIP AND
WITNESS GONE
OTHELLO is NOW OUT OF SIGHT
OF THE ISLAND AND so MATE
WORTH'S CASE WAS CONTINUED

The case against C. H. Worth, the
mate of the Gillian ship Othello, was
called before Judge Lindsay this morn
ing. The case had to be continued
however, as the defendant desired to
secure his witnesses from the OthellO.
The vessel has been standing on and
off the island yesterday, as she has to
wait until after the disposition of the
present case. The japanese sailor who
was shot by the mate was not present
in court this morning.
1t is likely that the case will not be
heard tomorrow for the vessel is now
out of sight of the island. In fact Dia-
mond Head Charlie says that unless
there is a change in the wind it will be
at least a week before the Othello can
make her way back to the island. She
was carrying only light sails yesterday
as she stood on and off, but she evil

WHY THE ASNIERES
DID NOT DISCHARGE
TROUBLE OVER THE NAVY CIV
ING A BOND TO COVER ANY POS
sIBLE DUTY ON EXCESS CARGO.

Owing to a tangle over the bond for
the payment of duty on the cargo of
the French ship Asniehes that vessel
had not begun to discharge up to l
o'clock today.
The vessel arrived here this week
with Cardiff coal consigned to the
COmmandant of the naval station. Her
cargo consisted Of about 1888 tons. Ad-
miral Terry did not put up bond for
the payment of the duty early yester-
day but late in the afternoon such a
bond was put up. This bond was for
double the amount of the duty in order
to cover any possible additional duty
due on coal in excess of the supposed
cargo.
Subsequently the Admiral was not
satisfied with this form of bond and
applied to have the bond cancelled. The
Customs authorities could not cancel
bond except by special order from
the Treasury Department. The only
other way by which the bond could be
ended was by the liquidation of the
cargo. Admiral Terry did not wish to
secure the release of the bond by the
latter means so the vessel was not per-
mitted to discharge. She lay idle all
of this morning. 1t was later de-
cided by the Admiral to allow the bond
to stand and have the vessel dis
charged.

SUGAR-SCHOONER w. II. MARS
TON WILL SAIL NEXT WEEK.

Marston. The Mohican has been in
port since January % and she has no
cargo in her. She will take her first

go to the Railway wharf to complete
her cargo.
The bark Andrew WEIGH has not be-
gun to load yet. She will follow the

! to discharge. She is at the Railway
wharf. The time for loading the As
! trail has not yet been determined.
The ship Kenilworth is now at Hilo
waiting to begin loading sugar for
! Delaware Breakwater. She will begin

TYPHOID FEVER
LESS THAN USUAL
RECORDS so FAR SHOW BELOW
NORMAL NUMBER OF CASES
BUT MORE ARE LIKELY.

The Board of Health records for
March show less typhoid so far than
there was last month and in January
In each of those months there were
three deaths from typhoid. So far only
one case has been reported to the
Board this month. 1t is believed that
there are several other cases, but con-
ditions are about normal.
Under the conditions following the
long rains we might expect an increase
of typhoid" said DR.. Cooper, president
of the GARD. THE cesspOols have
been disturbed and vegetable matter
washed about and people are careless
about the use of drinking water, But
there are no signs of an epidemic"
DR.. Pratt, executive officer of the
board, also said that conditions were
normal. 1--WE have some cases here
every MONTH" he said, but they usual
ly come in from the plantations and
are Japanese cases."

Until these requirements are filled there
Is no way for a judge to leave the court
except by resignation without pay. Some
years ago Associate Justice Hunt was
stricken with paralysis and rendered so
helpless that he could be of 10 further
service. He did not have the necessary re-
quirements for retirement with pay, but
Congress provided special legislation by
which he was entitled to retire the
same conditions if he had served ten
years and reached the age of seventy.
Rumors are occasionally heard to the eff
feet that either Chief Justice Fuller or As
life. but no action has been taken by them
that seems to fulfill these predictions in the
near future.
Chief Justice Fuller was born in Maine.
February H. 1883 1t was only a few years
ago when the state of Maine could claim as
her children the chief justice of the United
States. the Speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives and the President pro tenn. of
| the United States Senate. besides other men
eminent in public life. But these three great
positions. covering the entire legislative and
judicial branches of the government. Were
at one time filled by men born in the state
of Maine.
The chief justice received his appointment
to office in 1888 at the hands of President
Cleveland. He was appointed as citizen
of Illinois. He started his professional life
by studying law, then he edited news
paper. and went back to law and mixed
literally in politics.

JuGic al tody in the world. Its members
from thu beginning of the government have

in the selections of men for positions on
the supreme bench.
The court jealousy regards all the tradi-
lions that have come down to it. From its
beginning it has been 50 conducted as to
give il high standing with all classes OF
people It's acts have been above the wills

have been handed down that are for the
rising generations both guides in the inter

Associate Justice Harlan, in length OF
service is the senior member of the court.
He was appointed an associate justice IN
1877, after a life filled with activity. He
was a lawyer. soldier, politician and judge.
and having been born in Kentucky, and
taking part in the politics of that state as
a republican, he found 1t necessary to face
many scenes that tested his courage. Since
being the bench he has never ceased to
take a lively interest in the affairs of the
nation, and has served almost continuously
as member of the faculty of some law
school here. having been connected with
Columbian University for many years.
The establishment of the Supreme Court
of the United States has generally been
commented on by historians of the Ameri-
can republic as the greatest achievement of
American craftsmanship. That court was
made absolute in authority within it's own
sphere. In many respects it outranks all
other judicial tribunals of the world it's
jurisdiction extending over sovereign states
as well as over the humblest individual. 1t
kas the power to annul in effect the stat
utes of a state whenever they are directed
against the civil rights, the contracts, the
currency or the intercourse of the people.
This high court restricts congressional ac-
ton to constitutional bounds. The posi-
lions of the judges secure against any
restriction. Once a justice of that court,
and no political or other power can reach n
member In this respect it is far beyond
the highest court of England, and beyond
the highest courts of the states. Yet its
powers are strictly defined. Its DEGREES are
governed by the most ScrupulouS regard for
the law. 1t cannot interfere with local self
government except in clearly defined limits.
