PROF. HART AT EVA

On Tuesday evening last Prof. L. w
Hart, F.R.G.S., delighted the employees
of the Eva Plantation VIII a two
hours illustrated talk on Australia"
The Professor paid a passing notice at
the beginning to the early history of
the country from data handed down to
posterty by the old world and quoted
statistics as freely as the modern stu
dent of U. S. History. He dwelt at
some length on the present condition of
the country, giving a description of it's
government its politics, its concilia-
ton and arbitration courts for the ad-
justment and settlement of strikes, it's
revenues, its industrial resources, and
its people.
The Professor handled his subject
with that mastery born only of the
enthusiasm he has for Australia ana
for that life study and hobby of his
instructive photography"
1t is needless to say that the people
'of the plantation appreciate Mr.. Harris
kindness fully and will remember him
always with kind aloha.

THE TRIAL Of
DEVAUCHELLE
WITH USING PROFANE
SHERIFF BROWN AND VIDA.

Considerably over an hour was spent
this morning in Judge Whitneys court
i'm trying to find out whether Eugene
Devauchelle, a former policeman and
how alleged to be a spy for the Ad-
vertiser said that Sheriff Brown was a
a. -" that the sheriff might a. -
-" and had also applied the same terms
to Assistant Sheriff Henry Vida.
The defendants case was looked after
by William Rawlins and Assistant
County Attorney Andrade conducted
the prosecution.
The witnesses for the prosecution
were officers Leal, Rose, Espinda and
Assistant Sheriff Vida.
The first three testified that on Sat
urday night last they had met Devau-
chelle at the Palace grill on Bethel
street where after some conversation
Devauchelle had applied an epithet to-
wards Sheriff. Brown, which though
taken as term of endearment in a
frontier mining camp, is not considered
as being i'm good form IN chaste hawaii.
Incidentally the witnesses swore that
Devauchelle had said that he would
get even with Brown and would have
him up before the grand jury
The force of this lay in the fact that
Devauchelle's disappearance from the
police force occurred shortly after She
riff Brown re-assumed control.
After thus relieving his mind, De-
vauchelle went to the Criterion saloon,
according to the witnesses, where he
accosted Assistant Sheriff Vida, who
had been telephoning there, and when
he saw Vida said
Henry, if you see anything in the
Advertiser tomorrow morning, don't
be mad with me-"
Vida refused to speak to him and
passed on, upon which the defendant,
the fluent Devauchelle, handed out a
bunch of language,
Incidentally officer Rose swore that
Devauchelle had said that he was sorry
to do the sort of work that he was do
ing, but that the Advertiser was pay
iobbed him and he was going to get
even
Assistant Sheriff Vida corroborated
i'm so far as the terms applied by the
defendant to himself were concerned.
All the witnesses were asked by Raw
Inns, under cToss-eXamGnation why,
since they were police officers, they had
not placed the defendant under arrest
at the time the alleged offence was
committed.
The three first replied that they had
passed the matter up to Vida while
Vida himself said that Devauchelle was
under the influence of liquor at the
time of the occurrence and he did not
wish to have trouble with him then.
He had intended to nave him arrested
on Monday but other matters inter
vened and so the arrest was not made
until Tuesday
AT the close of Vida's testimony a
motion to dismiss was denied.
Devauchelle was first called in his
own behalf and his testimony was to
the other witnesses on the fateful night
the other witnesses o nthe fateful night
he had never said the naughty words
ascribed to him. He could easily have
given Chesterfield points on the gift
of polite conversation.
Thus far had the trial proceeded
when the minute hand of the police
clock closed over the hour hand and
the court became cOgnizant of the fact
that it was noon,-high noon.
The case went over until two of the
clock, post meridian.

GAMBLING CASES
WERE CONTINUED
COMPLAINTS WERE AMENDED
SLIGHTLY IN SEVERAL IN
STANCES.

There was a large crowd of specta-
TORS in the police court this morning
to hear the trials of the gambling and
various assault and profanity cases
which have attracted so much atten-
ton recently.
Alec Nicholas and Lalae were first
called. They were charged with con-
Quoting and maintaining a gambling
game, it being alleged that they had
been operating a gambling game in Ka-
kaako. County Attorney Douthitt con-
Quoted the prosecution and j. w. Cath
cart appeared for the defendants. The
complaint upon which the warrant for
the two defendants had been issued was
complaint on information and belief
The county attorney made an oral
change in the complainant when the de-
PENDANTS were arraigned. Cathcart
moved to dismiss on the ground that
there was no sworn complaint and that
before a man could be put on trial fol-
an offence there must be at sometime,
a complaint positively sworn to. The
court overruled this motion whereupon
the defence asked for a continuance
until tomorrow. County Attorney Dout-
HIT wanted to proceed to trial but the
continuance was granted.
H. Rivers whose place was alleged to
have been leased for the purpose Of
gambling and where the previous de-
PENDANTS were said to have conducted
the gambling game was arraigned and
an amendment to the complaint in his
case was made. Cathcart asked for a
continuance of a day because of this
change and the continuance was grant.
