"The naturalization question raised
in the Mort Takizo case at Honokaa
is the most serious question that has
been raised here for a long time" said
Deputy Attorney General Prosser this
morning. Prosser has just returned
from Honokaa, where he argued the
case. AS a result of the question re-
ferred to- of Wheeler or not the circuit
judges have a right to naturalize aliens
Judge Parsons postponed all his trials
for "a month. He took the matter I'M
der advisement. 1t is said that it will
be impossible to get jury i'm East Ha-
wall if the naturalizatiOns by circuit
judges are held to be invalid, and a
special term of the federal court in
Honokaa may be he only solution.
Mort Takizo is under indictment for
murder in the first degree. During
the proceedings his attorney, Carl S.
Smith objected to the panel of the
jury and to the indictment, on the
ground that there were aliens on the
trial jury and had been aliens on the
Grand Jury which brought the indict-
ment. Eleven of the trial jury are
Portuguese who were naturalzed bN
circuit judges on Hawaii, and many of
the Grand Jury were men who had
been similarly naturalized. The mat
ter was argued by Prosser and Smith
last Thursday and Judge 1arsOns took
it under advisement for a month.
The question is one which has been
discussed here before. Former Cir
cult Judge Gear refused to naturalize
aliens, holding that he had no right
to do so, and Judge Mathewman Of
KOna has followed this view He has
created a lot of excitement by refus-
ing to accept as jurors any persons ma
turalized in the alleged illegal way
greatly to the indignation of numerous
men who voted as citizens by virtue
of their supposed naturalizations.
There are not enough qualified citi-
zens in East Hawaii to get a jury
from" said Prosser, III it be held that
the persons naturalized by circuit
judges are not citizens There are
enough Hawaiians who are citizens,
but they do not speak English and

or to bring him into public scandal,
disgrace, adherence, odium, contempt
or ridicule, unless it also tends to i'm
pute to him the commission of a crime
or some public offense involving moral
turpitude.'
Judge Robinson says that the plain
tiff relies upon section 1862 Of the re-
vised statutes of Hawaii as showing
that the article I'm question charged
Gear with the commission of a public
offense, but as to whether the article
makes such charge or not he says:
1T will be observed that the portion
of the section referred to uses the
word knowingly in defining the public
offense thereby created and by such use
makes the fact of knowledge on the
part of the owner or lessee or agent of
the use or purpose for which such house
or place is let or permitted to be kept
or maintained an essential ingredient
and element of the offense.
Applying the rule stated to the case
at bar | am constrained to hold that
the language complained is not libel
Gus per Sc. 1t is nowhere charged that
the plaintiff knowingly let or permit
ted the premises in question to be used
for the housing of the Japanese social
evil, assuming that that expression
possesses the meaning claimed for It by
plaintiff i'm his nnuendo.
1T is ordered that the demurrer of
the defendant to the complaint of the
plaintiff be and the same is hereby sus-

the old, grey-headed country doctor,
myself and a stolid village police
man made UP the rest of that strange
company.
The two men told their story clear
ly enough. They had been aroused
from their sleep by the sound of an
explosion, which had been followed a
minute later by a second one. They
slept in adjoininS rooms, and Mrs.
King had rushed in to Saunders To-
gether they had descended the stairs.
The door of the study was open, and
candle was burning upon the table.
Their master lay upon his face IN the
centre of the room. He was quite
dead. Near the window his wife was
cTouching, her head leaning against
the wall. She was horribly wounded,
and the side of her face was red with
blood. She breathed heavily, but was
incapable OF saying anything. The
passage, as we'll as the room. was full
of smoke and the smell of powder.
The window was certainly shut and
fastened upon the inside. Both Wo
men We're positive upon the point.
They had ut once sent for the doctor
and for the constable. Then. with the

Nothing had been moved lin the

band and Wife. They had always
looked upon them as a very united
couple.

she had been shot or had shot her

Considerable excitement, followed by

some one telephoned in a message to the
effect that a man had been run over

of ar unknown chauffeur at Grand

minutes later word came that an auto
