ASKS MAGOON
TO Be SWORN

Attorneys Kinney and Magoon would
have spat in the Parker ranch case
yesterday afternoon. But it passed.
Eben Low was on the stand, of course,
and on the grill. Attorney Kinney
saw to that. The matter under inves-
tigation at the moment was the sale
of the Peabody lands to Carter, as
trustee for the Parker minor, and
Low had said that he understood that
Carter and Fred Wundenberg were
acting together in that deal.
"Do you say that they were acting
togetheri'' asked Kinney.
81 Object said Magoon. "This
can only be a matter of opinion, any
HOWL
The objection was sustained, and for
a moment Kinney sat whirling his eye
glasses and whistling softly to him
self. Then he said: 81 would ask,
your honor, without the formality Of
written notice, that the other side pro-
duce wireless message, sent from
Hilo. and reading about as follows:
"Fred. Wundenberg, Honolulu:
"Have Henriques hold up sale until
l can reach Honolulu.
"(Signed) E. Low"
r'I have no knowledge of any such
wireless message" began Magoon.
"Hold on, Mr.. Magoon. If you are
to make that statement, desire that
it shall be made under oath. We have
secondary proof that that message was
in your Office on July A. or 5. If you
do not produce the message, we will
produce our proof"
Il do not remember anything about
such message" said Magoon. "But,
If it is in existence, you can have it.
And while l cannot answer for Mr..
Wundenberg, / do not doubt that he
will produce it if it is in his office. 4"
You are willing to accept this as
sufficient noticef' asked Kinney.
Certainly answered Magoon.
Then Carter's attorney turned upon
Low again, and, proceeded to grill him
upon the point as to whether the
stables on the Parker ranch were in
good sanitary condition. That issue
was still to the fore when court ad-
journed.
Earlier in the day Low had testified
that in his opinion Carter was largely
responsible for the rise in the price of
beef having inundated the Metropol.
itan Meat Company. Low said he had
heard that Harry Won Holt was also
partly responsible for this.
"Did Carter,"' Kinney asked, Gas
manager of two large ranches, have a
big say in the price of beefl'
Yes, - answered Low, .'by intimi-
dation.''
"Did he ever exercise that intimi-
dations'
81 never saw him do it, but / heard
that he was one Of the instigators' -
STANLEY DOLLAR LIBELs.
The cases of two of the fifty Japa-
nese libellants against the British
steamer Stanley Dollar were on trial
before Judge Dole in the Federal court
yesterday, and the corridor looked like
a little Japan The cases were not con-
cluded when court, adjourned. The
Japs had taken passage on the steamer
for Victoria, and brought suit for dam
ages against her upon her failure to
clear for that port at once. George
Davis appeared for the libellants, and
Il. c. Peters and John Cathcart for the
steamship. Stanley Dollar, the owner,
was in court, and was put on the stand
by Davis and admitted the receipt of
passage money for the Japs.
Collector Stackable was then called
as to why the vessel had not been
cleared, and his examination and cross
examination occupied the greater part
of the day. The court admitted, in
the course of the cross-examination,
that it was permissible for the steam
ship people to show, if they could,
that they had taken the passage money
with the plan of getting license in
this port to carry passengers. The trial
of the cases will be resumed today.
CATCH JAPANESE PHYSICIAN.
A Japanese physician, DR.. Tsutsumi,
was before District Magistrate Whit
ney yesterday charged with practicing
medicine without a license, and was
found guilty. He paid a fine of $3.50,
and agreed to go to California. DR..
rsutsumi is graduate of regular
school of medicine in Japan, but fail
ed to Vpass an examination for a IL
cense here, probably because of his
lack of knowledge of the English
mguage. However, he seems to have
gone on practicing down at Oahu plan
bation, but although the case was re-
ported to the officers, it was long
time before any evidence against him

argely among Japanese. Finally,
Chester A. Doyle was put on the case,
rnd found Portuguese whose hand
iad been partially amputated by Tsut-
pumi. This sealed the case, and the
loetor was arrested. It is understood
hat the case is but one of many, and
hat the others have not even the ere
lentials possessed by DR.. Tsutsumi.
