torial Board of Equalization.
 Toward evening Clerk Robinson and Supervisor Smith were informed by telephone that the writ had been quashed on technical grounds, the ma ture of which was not stated. Last night the Journal-Miner received the following message from its Phoenix correspondent:
 "The Supreme Court of Arizona to. day considered the suits growing out of the action of the Territorial Board of Equalization in raising the assessed valuation of mines.
 "Some of the county boards of sup. ervlsors refused to make the raises or dered by the equalizers, and this brought forth writs of mandamus order ing them to make the increase. Such writs were issued by Judge J. H. Campbell, associate justice of the Su- preme Court, against Yavapai, Graham, and Mohave counties.
 "The court sustained a motion of District-AttOrney E. F.. Ellinwood, of Prescott, to quash the writs of man. damus on the ground that an associate justice had no right to issue the writs.
 "Attorney General Clark will now ask the Supreme Court itself for a peremptory writ of mandanus in the three counties, returnable oL November IT,"
 The action of the Supreme Court yesterday by no means affects the merits of the legal points in dispute, and now that the case is properly be- fore the Supreme Court, the legal questions involved will be discussed and passed upon on November r.
 That the battle will be bitter one when it commences is conceded. In attendance at the Supreme Court yes terday were the district attorneys of the three counties cited, several of the supervisors and Colonel Herring of the Copper Queen Co. of Bisbee.

HUMAN FLESH SHARK BAIT.
Method Employed by Hawaiian Chiefs
to Capture Man Eaters
of the Deep.

Il appears that the Hawaiian chiefs
OF some years ago We're much addicted
to the use Of human flesh as bait for
sharks 1t came cheaper than pig, says
Forest and Stream was equally accept
able to the shark, and gave the chief an
opportunity to kill anyone whom he dis
liked. The victim was cut UP and left
to decompose for two or three days in
d receptacle. Kamehameha l. was a
great shark hunter, and kept those Of
his victims who were intended for bait
penned up near the great temple Of
Mookini.
Mrs. Beckley gives particularly in
teresting account Of another method Of
capturing the huge niuhi, or man-eating
shark, followed by the natives. They
first Of all captured large number OF
the small common shark, saved their
liyers with a portion OF the flesh,
wrapped them in XII leaves and baked
them underground From so to 100
canoes were loaded with the baked meat
and large quantities Of the pounded
roots of ava, mixed with little water
and contained in large gourds The
fleet would sail many miles out to sea
in the direction in which the niuhi IS
known to appear.
Arrived at comparatively shallow
place, the canoe containing the head
fisherman. and the priest and the sor-
cerer, who was supposed to be indispens-
able, would cast anchor; meat and the
baked liver would be thrown overheard,
few bundles at time, to attract
sharks. After few days the grease and
scent of cooked meats would spread
through the water many miles in radius.
The niuhi would almost always make its
appearance after the third Of fourth day I
when bundles of the baked meat were
thrown to 1t as fast as it could swallow
them. After awhile it would become
comparatively tame. and would come up
to one or other of the canoes to be fed.
Bundles of the liver with the pounded
ava would then be given it, and ii would
become not only satiated, but also stu
pefed with ava
A moose was then slipped over Its
head, and the fleet raised anchor and set
sail for home the shark following, a
willing prisoner, and the occupants OF
the nearest canoes being careful to feed
it upon the same mixture from time TO
time It was led right into shallow
w4fsi until it was stranded, and then
killed Every part of the bones and skin
was supposed 10 confer unfinchins
bravery upon the possessor, and the
actual captor, that is, the one who
slipped the moose. over the niuhi's head

the boat ran at full speed straight into
the dock Realizing the impossi3i'ity
Of avertiuE a crash, the officers drove
the crowds back from the forward deck
and sounded the danger signal TO at
tract the employees on the wharf. The
steamer struck with a terrible crash,
but hawsers were thrown aboard and.
though the engines were still running
at full speed, the apron was lowered
and the frightened crowd rushed
ashore Several women tainted during
the excitement. No one was seriously
injured.

LIEU LAND LAW
WAS REPEALED
Circular Issued by the Department
CT the Interior.
is A HARDSHIP FOR SOME
CONGRESS MAY SET MATTERS
RIGHT.
Especial to The HeraId.)


.nIASHINGTON, D. g, May IL
w Secretary Hitchcock, in a cir
CuIar issued today to registers
and receivers of local land Of
fees. holds that congress meant what
if said when, by act of March 8, 1905,
il absolutely repealed the lieu land law.
With the exception of owners of Ger
tain lands in San Francisco and Grand
Canyon reserves in Arizona and Santa
Barbara reserve, California, who are
specifically provided for by a special
act, the secretary holds that all right
10 make lieu selections passed on
March 5 last. and local land officers are
advised that they are without author
ity to relinquish lands within forest re-
serves after that date and allow sec
tions of other lands in exchange there
for.
The secretary says, however, that all
lieu selections made prior to and pend
ing for adjudication on March 5. 1905,
may be perfected and patented and If
i'm adjudication of any selection then
pending the same should be held in
valid for any reason not the fault of
the party making same, another szIec-
ton for like quantity of land may
be made in lieu thereof. The act makes
no provision for cases where lands
within forest reserves may have b5en
recouveyed to the United States, but
no selections made I'm lieu thereof, or
where such selections if made were fin
ally rejected and cancelled prior to
March 3, 1905. There is now no law
authorizing selections in lieu of such
relinGuished tracts
This last paragraph means that if
any persons. unaware that lieu land
has been repealed. have relinquished
forest reserve lands to the government
subsequent TO March 5. 1908, they win
not only be denied the right to select
lands in exchange for thOse reIin-
pushed but viii. in the absence of
specific legislation. be unable TO re-
cover their original holdings. which
they have surrendered to the govern
ment. The department recognizes that
the equities Of the case. under these
circumstances, would require settle
ment but there is no authority Of Ia "
for restoring such lands to the person
who relinquishes them. II is expected
congress at the next session viii leg
islate on this point and permit persons
who reIinquished since March 8 to re-
cover their lands and within forest re
serves, otherwise they would suffer
hardship through no fault of their own.

WORSE THAN USELESS
Governor Douglas, as Referee, De
cides Against the Fall
River Strikers.

Boston. May I'm a statement is
sued today Governor Douglas, as
referee in the settlement of the Fail
River textile strike of 1904. finds that
a partial restoration of wages is not
warranted. When the strike was set
tied in January las>3 Through Governor
Douglas intervening. he was en-
powered to fix a margin of profit at
which operatives would receive an in
crease of wages. The governor re
ports that the conditions during the
months between January and April
were not such as to warrant an m
crease.
The strike. which affected about %
coo persons. was began in July 1904 to
resist a cut of 12iz per cent in wages
The strike lasted nearly SIX months. at
the end of which time the operatives
returned 10 work with the reduction IN
effect. The strikers went back in con
sequence Of the amiCable Intervention
of Governor Douglas and the agreement
was that the governor should, after
investigation decide upon what margin
the mill owners could grant an In
crease Of ; per cent up TO April 1 Of
this year.
Governor Douglas finds that it
would require d margin of 4
and $500 cents between the price of
cloth and its equivalent in uumanu-
featured cotton TO pay the requested
increase of : per cent in wages earned
during the time which his investigation
covered This margin would allow 9
per cent for min dividends and > per
cent annual depreciation
While the exact margin Of profit
which prevailed during the period Of
investigation is not exactly known
since il is a matter which the manu-
factuFeTs alone have knowledge. il is
understood that il was under 20 cents

The reason for the Importance to
