Attorney r. w. Brcckons, who is the
local United States District Attorney,
has furnished legal opinion on the
law which the Territory is enforcing
to exclude japanese laborers from pub
lie works. He finds that the law is
unconstitutional, for reasons which are
very clearly set forth in his opinion,
delivered to the editor of the Shinpo.
The attorneys opinion is given in full
below with the exception of some ref
erences he made to cases decided in the
United States, illustrating the points
he makes:
In my opinion, the law in question
is invalid and the courts will not en-
force the same. My reasons for this
opinion are as follows:
The fourteenth amendment to the
Constitution of the united States pro-
vides among other things as follows:
"No state shall make or enforce any
law which shall abridge the privileges
or immunities of citizens OF the United
States; nor shall any state deprive any
person of life, liberty, or property with
out due process of law, nor deny to any
person within it's jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.
This provision is also enforced by
legislation enacted by Congress, being
See. 1877, Revised Statutes of the
United States, which is as follows:
Gan persons within the jurisdiction
of the United States shall have the
same right in every state and Terri
tory to make and enforce contracts, to
sue, be parties, give evidence, and to
the full and equal benefit of all laws
and proceedings for the security of
persons and property as is enjoyed by
white citizens, and shall be subject to
like punishment, pains, penalties. taxes,
licenses, and exactions of every kind,
and to no other.'
The latter part of tho amendment
above quoted "nor deny to any person
within its jurisdiction the equal pro-
lection of the laws" has in every in.
stance in which it has been before the
courts, been held to cover the case of
all persons, whether citizens or aliens,
residing within the jurisdiction; hence
all aliens, residents within the Terri
tory of Hawaii, are protected by the
clause.
The law of the Territory of Hawaii
referred to. certainly discriminates be-
tween persons resident within the Ter
ritory. BY its terms all persons are
not equally entitled to acquire and
enjoy property. BY its terms, impedi-
ments are interposed to the pursuits of
some which are not applied to the
same pursuits by the others.
The constitutional amendment has

REDUCED SUGAR
CARRYING RATES

The keen rivalry of the railroads
which run out of New Orleans has
caused the Southern Pacific and the
Santa Fe roads to make the largest
reduction on its rates for sugar from
San Francisco to the Missouri river
that has yet been put into operation.
1t was formally announced yester-
day that the railroads from this city
VIII henceforth charged a rate of 2S
cents per hundred on refined sugar to
all points on the Missouri river as well
as in Kansas and Nebraska. The rate
has hitherto been 90 cents per hundred
pounds. But the competition was SO
keen, because of the cut made by the
roads out OF New Orleans, that. in or
der to offset the lines in the South,
the reduction was forced. There is a
bitter war being waged now on sugar
rates between the Illinois Central, the
San Francisco and the Hartman
branches of the Southern Pacific road
from New orleans East. While the
rates hitherto prevailing for sugar was
32 cents a cut was made to 10 cents.
BY the reduction of the rate here 1t.
to a great degree, offsets the competi-
ton in the South and somewhat equal
lies things,-San Francisco Examiner.

Another epidemic of fever has broken
out at Halawa, mainly among young
people. The symptoms appear to be
the same as those of the fever pre-
vailing when Acting Governor Atkin-
son, DR., Yost and others found three
dead at Pelekunu on the famous expe-
dition of several months ago. 1t would
seem wise thing for the Board OF
Health to send supply of medicines
to Halawa to be dispensed by the
school teacher.

JUDGE PARK Err
NEARLY BROWNS

NEW YORK, July 22.-Judge Alton
y. Parker and his favorite grandson,
Alton Parker Hall, FIVE years old, were
in moment or so of death by drown.
Ing in the Hudson river opposite ESQ
pus early this morning. They wene&
rescued at critical moment by
Edouard Fritz, who came running TO
the shore in response to the hoarse
cries of "Helpv' that came from the
Judge.
As has been his habit for years. q
habit that has become noted from one
end of the country to the other during
the last Presidential campaign. Judge
Parker went this morning to the river
to take his regular swim. His little
grandson accompanied him; I'm fact, he
often plays in the water alone. as
Judge Parker has instilled In him his
own love for the water,
Placing the boy on his back, he
swan around for while. The little
fellow became frightened and tightly
clasped the Judge about the neck
Judge Parker called to the boy to let
go his hold, but the lad held on with
the desperation of death, and every
effort of the Judge only plunged them
both beneath the choking waves. With
his last few remaining breaths Judge
Parker gave up the struggle and shout
ed for assistance.
A few hundred yards down the river
Fritz was sitting with his family. He
heard the shouts of the sinking man
and throwing off his coat, ran down
the bank and plunged in. Before he
reached the two, however, the boy TAD
become half drowned by being sub
merged, in the efforts Of the Judge-to
shake him loose, and had lost his hold
and gone down.
Save the boy" gasped Judge Par
ker, treading water and trying to catch
his breath, Save the boy"
Although hampered with his clothes,
Fritz dived, and on the second plunge
succeeded in catching the boy by the
hair. When he came to the surface
and turned to give assistance to Judge
Parker, he found him recovered suffi-
GENTLY to swim back to the dock
alone.
For twenty minutes the two worked
over the boy and finally brought Linn
around. He was then carried up to
the house. where restoratives were APP
piled.
Judge Parker would not discuss the
accident tonight, contenting himself
with the statement that he was thank
full he was saved. He took Fritz to his
own home, provided him with clothing
