CONTEST IS
BEFORE DOLE

The greater part of the day was
given by u. S. District Judge Dole
Yesterday TO the hearing of the testi-
mony in the election contest brought
by Curtis +. laukea for the seat of
Delegate in Congress kuhio kalanl-
anaole. Judge Galbraith and +. NJ.
Watson appeared for the contestant.
Judge Galbraith SAID that no witnesses
had been subpoenaed, as it was mot
known whether the contcstee would
be ready to 90 ON with the case. Gily-
son Bell was sworn as interpreter,
wnereupon Watson proceeded to read
the notice of contest which was filed
in evidence.
w. T. Erving, who was Secretary of
the Democratic Central Committee at
the last election, was the first wit
ness called. One Of the very first ques-
tions asked by Judge Galbraith, who
conducted the examination, was OBJ
iected to on the ground that 1t was
irrelevant and immaterial. Judge Dole
ordered notice of the objection be
made on the record, but ruled that the
question should be answered. The court
stated that he would rule out only
such questions as were purely lrrele-
want, but would not pass on points OF
law. The objections made by the con
testees counsel would be entered on
the record, so that the higher tribunal
could pass on these points.
At this point Watson proceeded to
read the formal charges of laukea,
which gave in detail the various in.
stances of offenses against the cleo
tion laws, which are alleged to have
taken place in the general election last
November. The charges dwell on the
numbered ballot question, stating that
on account OF the manner in which the
election was conducted, the way the
voters voted coulu be and was ascer-
tanned by interested parties. 1t also
states that threats were made to Ter
ritorial employees to the effect that
they would lose their employment if
they voted for the contestant. The
protests which the Democrats made to
these procedures, which were ignored,
are appended to the document.
Erving resumed his testimony, show
ing how he on election day had gone
around to various precincts and had
noticed numerous infractions against
the election law. He mentioned the
numbered DallOls anu SdNo uoOduo VI
the precincts where he had seen them
used and the number of votes which
had been cast in different places be-
fore this practice was stopped. lie
also stated that he had seen number
of sample ballots in the polling booths
and the presence inslue the enclosure
of people who were not inspectors and
who were taxing count of the votes
The witness also dwelt on the protests
he had made against these practices
In the afternoon G. r. Buckland,
chief clerk in the Governors office
was on the stand until the time of ad-
iournment. He was still undergoing
examination when the case went over
to O'Clock this afternoon, when he
was instructed to bring into court the
polling lists from all the precincts in
the Territory.

II. w. Holling, a travelling solicitor
of subscriptions for the San Francisco
Examiner, was arrested on Maui the
other day for offering premiums with
his paper, and was discharged by the
District Magistrate at Wailuku. Hol-
ling. whose work was partially check
ed in Honolulu by official order had
been notified by his home office to
permit himself to be arrested and
"wait orders" but preferred TO have
the thing done in the country, as that
would not interfere with business. The
charge was that the Examiner gift en-

A WOMAN
SMUGGLER

Yards and yards Of lace. bolts of
beautiful silks, exquisite doilies and
many other handsome fabrics from the
Orient were seized on Monday by the
customs house authorities. The prop
erty was IN the possession of Mrs.
| JhcoDson, the only cabin passenger on
the ;. $. siberia for Honolulu.
Mrs. jacobson is the mother-in-law
of Rosenberg, proprietor of the Globe
Clothing House on Hotel street. She
made round-trip from Hawaii to the
Orient, taking in Manila on the trip.
Mrs. jacobson purchased large
amount of goods, enumerated as above.
On arrival here she declared on the
customs blanks that she had $50
worth of goods. When the inspectors
searched her baggage there was at first
glance nothing beyond the declared
stuff. There were bags presumed to-
oe filed with soiled linen. On the
top were numerous pieces of unwasn-
ed garments; but beneath this dirty
exterior the inspectors discovered the
smuggled stuff. In Mrs. jacobson g.
trunks were found stockings tied into
knots and carelessly tossed or stuffed
into corners, and when the knots were
unbound the interior of the stockings
were found hiled with laces. In all
manner of places, intended to deceive
the eye, more undeclared goods came
to light. Pillows were also stuffed
with valuable fabrics.
When Mrs. jacobson s. attention
was called to the matter she at first
stated that ner trunks had been pack
ed for her by other persons. Then
she said she had bought them in Japan
and had landed them in Manila, at
first intending to stay there, but she
changed her mind and continued the
voyage on the Siberia.
This story is discredited by the cus-
toms authorities, for reasons best
known to themselves.
Finally, U. s. District Attorney
Breckons was called into the confer
ence and Mrs. Jacobson was told to-
make any explanation she had to that
official.
The foreign value of the goods was
probably about $3.50. The duty added
brings the appraised value to about
$3.50. The law provides the penalty
for smuggling snail be treble the APP
praised value, which would be in the
neighborhood of $1,000, and the goods
are also confscated.
District Attorney Breckons says that
lne daughter of Mrs. jacobson was
present at the interview with him ana
vainly tried to keep her mother from
making damaging admissions But the
old lady told enough to make the case.
stick all the tighter. At that, the
daughter asked what they would have
to pay to take the goods and keep out
of the courts. Mr.. Breckons pointed
out that, although no crime had been
committed, under recent ruling of
the court that dutiable articles must
be brought ashore before they could be- !,
called smuggled, still the seizure would
have to stand and the penalty of three
times the value of the goods exacted.
A judgment would be. taken out for
that amount if the fine was not paid.
And by the way" he said blandly
to the daughter, ''has your mother
any property"
mo, she has not" snapped the
young woman" except me.
''Well," remarked Breckons, amia-
bly,, "if we could attach you and put
you up at auction you would probably
bring enough to pay the fne.''

a chance"
New people would not have the
money showed at them any quicker
than we would" said Mr.. Peck.
c. M. Cooke did not think that the
request of Mr.. Peck was unreasona-
bic: If he could give any assurance
that he could finish the road, even as
far as Hakalau. in two years, then
he should be given the extension ask
ed for.
You think he should have three or
four months to find out whether he
can raise the money!" asked Govern
or Carter.
Il do" replied Mr.. Cooke.
l.. A. Thurston then arose and gave
an interesting statement of the history
of the Hilo railroad situation. going
back to the first charter of the Hilo
railway. He told how. In interest with
Mr.. Dillingham;, he had procured a
charter covering the very country to
he served by the Kohala- Hilo line. and
how, upon the statement of the Gehr
crowd that they had the money to build
that particular road at once the Dill
lingham people, not having the money
and not desiring to stand in the way Of
progress, had withdrawn their protest
against the granting of the Kohala-
Hilo franchise, Heretofore successfully
maintained.
The Hilo road had been built to
Puma, had acquired wharves and ex-
pended money in Improvements at Hilo
during the six years that the Kohala-
Hilo project had lain in allegiance, and
had been at all times friendly to that
project, notwithstanding the Suspicion
with which 1t was regarded and the
hostility OF the Kohala-IIilo people to-
ward it. 1t was to the interest OF the
Hilo road to have the other road built,
because that would puild up Hilo.
Il regard the building of the Hilo-
Kohala road as vital to Hilo," said
Mr.. Thurston. "The people need it.
And If Mr.. Peck VIII assure us here
that anybody will furnish him the
/ backing to build the road within the
next sixty days, then 1 say by all
means give him the extension asked
Tor. And give it to him under a fran
chise that is workable. / do not be-
lieve that any power on earth could
complete this project in the time speci-
fed In the franchise"
You are correct" broke in Mr.. Peck.
The Hilo railroad isn't anxious to
put any stumbling block in anybody's
way went on Mr.. Thurston. but the
Hiio road is willing to go ahead, il
there is no other franchise In the way,
and put a railroad through the Hama
kua district. And the Hilo railroad is
in a position TO do this. having an

They indicate that the bowels are not
