Six policemen from Honolulu battled
with three hundred excited Chinese at
Waipahu plantation and succeeded in
escorting twelve prisoners, whom the
mob was trying to take away from
them, to the Eva Jail. One officer was
injured and all were roughly used. Ac-
cording to the story reported to High
Sheriff Henry by his officers last night

plantation, is guilty of melting the
Chinese to attack the policemen and
liberate the prisoners. An investigation
will be made at once, and IL the facts

for the luna.
1t seems that Deputy Sheriff Fernan-
dez of eva reported to the High Sher-

CARRIERS VETO.
The presentation OF Governor Car
ter's veto of House Bill No. z, was
among the most interesting incidents
of the morning session. 1t ran thus:
"To the Legislature of the Territory
of Hawaii
Herewith, l return House Bill No.
Z, entitled AN Act to amend Section
1914 of the Revised Laws of Hawaii,
which l am unable to approve.
"This bill relates to Circuit Court
terms, and provides among other
changes the following:
"In the Third Circuit, the Decem-
Der term at Kailua is done away with,
and in its place the term is to begin
in November, and to be held at Waio-
hinu, Kau.
1t must be evident to all that the
accommodations for witnesses, jurors,
attorneys, etc, at Waiohinu are en-
tirely inadequate, and the landing is an
exceedingly difficult one.
"Three terms for this Circuit Court
Is at present considerably in excess of
the real needs of that district, and the
Territory is not In position financially
to stand the expense in connection
Herewith. And Furthermore, holding n
term at Waiohinu would necessitate
the erection of court house.
"The change in the time of holding
terms from December to November in
the Third and Fifth Circuits is per
haps wise one, but the bill as a
whole involves too great an expendi-
ture of public funds.
On motion of Andrade action on tho
veto was deferred until Monday.
PAUL SMITHS PAY.
The matter of the payment of Capt.
Paul Smith as policeman at Iwilei was
brought up by Coelho, whose motion

ROUTINE MATTERS.

Internal improvements recommended

Kauai, praying that water pines be laid

was tabled to be considered with the
appropriation bill
There was a divided opinion in the
report of the Finance Committee on
Sheldon's bill to authorize the conclu-
sion of a contract with the Inter-1sland
Telegraph Company. Harris, Nakuina
and Fernandez recommended the pas
sage of the bill granting the wireless
subsidy. Rice and Kaleiopu did not
concur.
The Health Committee reported IA
vorably on Senate Bill 100, requiring
that all rules and regulations Of the
