Tomorrow, December 9th, Mother
Parker will attain the great age of one
hu, dred years, having been born De-
cenber 9, 1906. She came to these is
lands with her husband, Rev. B. w.
Parker, as a missionary of the Amer
lean Board in 1888 and devoted her life
to missionary work.
The anniversary is a notable event
and her friends have desired to show
her respect and reverence, but owing
to her somewhat enfeebled condition
they are not able to do all they would
like to.
The Governor has rendered the band

missionaries will give a hookupu,"
which will consist of presenting little
gifts of flowers, fruit and other contri-
buttons of like nature. The Sunday
morning services at Kawaiailao church
will be conducted by leading Hawai-
ians of that church in honor of the

METCALF DENIES
CORRUPT ACTIONS

Thomas Metcalf appeared with F. E.
Robinson yesterday morning under
| citation for alleged contempt of court,
, in the matter of Frank Godfrey, trus-
tee for Thomas Metcalf, plaintiff, VS..
Helen Rowland, defendant filing the
following denial:
Now comes Thomas Metcalf, in re-
Spouse to the order issued herein of
the 5th day of December, 1905, requir-
ing him to appear herein and to show
cause why he should not be adjudged
guilty of contempt of court, and says:
That he denies absolutely the aver
ments contained in the affidavits here
in of Julia Punahoa and J. Kealakaa
to the effect that on November /, 1905,
and on December l, 1905, he offered
money to said Julia Punahoa to change
her evidence given at the former trial
of said cause and threatened her with
punishment if she did not change her
evidence and testify as in said aft
davits alleged.
Wherefore, he prays to be hence
dismissed without day
Mr.. Thompson moved that the con-
tempt case be postponed until after
the trial of the main case, as other
wise the proceedings might affect the
minds of the jury. Messrs. McClana-
han and Derby objected, saying the
facts of the alleged attempt to bride
a witness would come out in the trial
anyway.
Judge Robinson remarked that the
charges amounted to accusation of at
tempted subOrnation of perjury. He
doubted how far the power of the
court, under Supreme Court decisions,
could go in contempt proceedings, but
thought it we'll to continue the cita-
ton until a week from Monday next.
The latter day was set for the trial
of the ejectment case.

ANOTHER SETBACK
TO THE ORDINANCE

Again yesterday, the Adams ordin
ance against barricades to gambling
places failed to operate. This was in
the case of the forty persons arrested
in the Mendonca building raid Sunday
night, whose trial took place in the
police court. A. S. Humphreys and
c. F. Chillingworth, appearing for the
defense, Intellectually raised points
while the prosecution was putting on
its case
When the prosecution had rested,
counsel for the defense moved that the
defendants be discharged. on the
ground that the prosecution had not
proved that the ordinance had been
duly passed by the county supervisors
and advertised in the official language.
Judge Whitney granted the motion,
Idischarging the accused.
The previous failure of the ordinance
was from the refusal of the district
magistrate to take jurisdiction. but the
Supreme Court granted petition for
mandamus to compel him to take juris-
diction of county ordinances.

a Washington dispatch of Jan.
5th says the attention of the re-
Iclamation engineers has been
directed to the Pahsamaroi val
ley in Custer and Lemhi coun-
ties, where it is believed by cit
izens that probably 100000 acres
of fertile land could be reclaimed
by water now going to waste in
that section. A careful recon
naissance will be made under the
supervision of District Engineer
ID. w. Ross when the field season
"opens in the spring. Data now
in his possession tends to show
the existence of reclaimablt
lands in small rather than il
large bodies, the valley being
comparatively narrow with foot
hills crowding down close to th'
river on both sides. In order tC
determine the feasibility of any
scheme for the irrigation of thesi
lands, however, careful inspec
ton will be made.
