Parker
Case To
Washington
MANY COMPLICATIONS IN THE
THIRD CIRCUIT WHICH ARE TO
BE FOUGHT TO A FINISH.

The Parker ranch controversy is now
at issue only in the Third Circuit Court,
where Judge Mathewman has appoint
ed a receiver, who is now in charge of
the property. From this court, it is
stated, the features of the case which
are being tried will be taken to the Su-
preme Court here and to the Supreme
Court of the United States. No appeal
has been taken yet from the decision
OF Judge Lindsay in the case brought
to remove Guardian Carter, and the at
torneys' for the petitioner state that
they do not know yet whether one will
be taken or not.
The proceeding in the Third Circuit
Court is suit in partition The Par
ker ranch has an extent of 2S6, 900 acres,
and there Is a mixture of leases and III
ties which would seem to require an
enormous amount of studying out.
Numerous large tracts which are a part
of the ranch are the sole property Of
Annie T. X. Parker. Other large parts
are the sole property of Sam Parker.
The same is true of large lease hold
ings. The separation of these holdings
and determination Of titles is to pre-
cede partition of the remaining tracts
which will arise in these matters, are
what the attorneys say will undoubted-
ly be taken to the Supreme Court of
the United States.
Attorney Lightfoot, Magoons asso-
ciate' said this morning that the parti-
ton suit would undoubtedly be resist
ed. He did not know whether an appeal
would be taken in the guardianship
case, from Lindsay's decision.
w. A. Kinney, leading counsel for
Carter, said he was taking a rest from
Parker ranch matters and catching up
on other business. Matters were going
on as before at the ranch, with the re-
celver in charge.

PROTEST TO
ROOSEVELT

By today's mail Senator McCandless
IS sending to President Roosevelt a
protest against the approval of the pro-
posed bond issue of $3.50 900, which Sec
retary Atkinson has gone to Washing
ton to secure.
The protest is signed by Senator Nc
Candless and several members of the
House of Representatives.
The protest is based principally on
legal grounds. A considerable argu-
ment is made to show that authority
to borrow money must be given by the
legislature, and that the legislature has
never authorized a loan of $75O,OOO 1t
is pointed out that Governor Carter in
refusing to act upon the loan bill an
preparation as passed by the legisla-
ture and approved by himself is really
exercising legislative functions, and
seking to enforce an absolute veto on
legislative enactments, when the Or
ganic Act gives him only a qualified
veto.
AS to the question of conservative
financial policy, upon which the Cover
nor lays so much stress, it is pointed
out that Governor Carter himself rec
commended to the legislature loan bill
appropriations of $1,1OOOOO; that the
legislature exceeded this by $277,OO but
that 1t Is believed that all of the public
improvements for which the legislature
appropriated can be made for not to ex-
ceed the $1,1O0OOO which Governor Car
Ter recommended, so that the legisla-
ture really kept within the Governors s
estimate of expenditures.
A strong appeal is made to President
Roosevelt that If the Governor can do
as he proposes to do with the loan bill
act the people of the Territory are
powerless through the legislature to Sc
cure any public improvement, no mat
ter how important against the will or
stubbornness of the Governor for the
time being.
The protest includes much Of the cor
respondence between the Governor and
others concerning the loan bill.

The County Sheriffs have the absolute
power of appointment Of police officers,
without asking the approval of the
Boards of Supervisors or the High
Sheriff. This was decided by the Su-
preme Court this morning in the Ha-
wall cases. County Sheriff Keolanu
won a complete victory over the Board
of Supervisors. His set of police Off
GERS are the legally appointed ones, and
they will get pay from the County The
rival set, which the Supervisors ap-
pointed, are apparently left out of the
cold. In another decision the right of
the Sheriff to appoint his clerk without
approval is upheld, and the County Au-
ditor is sustained in exercising discre-
tion in issuing or refusing to issue
warrant after action of the board ap-
proving such warrant
The main case was that of the Ter
ritory of Hawaii, on the petition of
John T. Moir, a citizen and taxpayer
against Harry A. Knell, an officer ap-
pointed by Sheriff Keolanui and not
approved by the Hawaii Board of Su-
pervisors. Moir's petition set forth a
claim that Knell was illegally C-aim-
ing to be a police officer, and a writ of
quo WdTTdnIO was issued, directing him
to show by what authority he claimed
to hold the office of policeman. Judge
Parsons held that Knell was occupying
the position of policeman without au-
thority, and ordered that he be ousted
from such office, basing the decision
upon a conclusion that appointments of
police by the County Sherim require
the approval of the Board of Supervis-
ors.
In unanimous opinion, written by
Justice Hartwell, the Supreme Court
this morning reversed the Hilo decision,

Kauai
County
Loses Case
TERRITORY WINS INCOME TAX
SUIT AND OAHU WILL con-
TINUE TO GET TAXES,

Kauai County lost its income tax case
by a decision of the Supreme Court this
morning, written by Chief Justice Frear
and concurred in by the other two JUS
tices. This is the case in which the
County of Kauai sought to have Kauai
plantations assessed for their income
tax in the Kauai taxation division, in
stead of in oahu, where the assess
ments We're made under the theory
that the principal places of business of
the corporations were here. The Coun-
ty within which the collections are
made gets one-half the tax and the
Territory the other half. This was the
cause of Kauais complaint and the
matter was taken up by Maui. The
County of Oahu is the winner by the
decision, as 1t continues to get half of
the income tax of all outside planta-
tions which have their principal place
of business in Honolulu.

PEACOCK DECISION

Judge De Bolt this afternoon gave a
decision sustaining the demurrer in
the case of w. c. Peacock and others
against w. c. Peacock and Company
and the officers of the firm. The
court dismissed the bill and allowed ten
days for amendment. BalIou and Judd
appeared for Rothwell and associates
and Ashford for Peacock. The de-
murrer was sustained on the ground
that the complaint did not set forth a
cause OF action. There was no show
ing in the bill that Peacock or his as
sociates had made an effort to compel
the company itself to do the things he
asks, and the court held that he could
not come into court to see helef un-
til other possible remedies as a stock
holder had been exhausted.

The syllabus states the main conclu-
sion of the court, as follows:
BY Sec. 67, Chapter Is of Act &c.
Laws of 1905, known as the County
Act, the sheriff of the County of Ha-
wall may legally appoint police officers
in that county. Neither Sec. 11Oa of
the Act providing that Amy county Of
ficer may, with the approval of the
Board of Supervisors, employ such
clerks and other assistants as may be
necessary to aid him in the perform
ance of the duties of his office" nor
paragraph of Sec. 62 of the Act, which
gives the Board of Supervisors power
to appoint such subordinate officer as
they may deem necessary for the pub
lie service, refers to appointments of
police officers. Such appointments made
by the Sheriff are not required to be
approved by the Board of Supervisors
or by the High Sheriff"
After holding that the Sheriff's ap-
pointments of police are valid without
approval of Supervisors the court pro-
ceeds to discuss the special status of
Oahu, where it has been contended that
the Attorney General or High Sheriff
should approve the County Sheriffs ap-
pointments. This contention is dispos-
ed of in the following concluding para
graph of the opinion of the court:
while entertaining no doubt that the
meaning and effect of Sec. 81 relating
to sheritfs are as we have above stat
ed it is only after careful consideration
that we have come to the conclusion
that sherffs appointments are not sub
Ject to the approval of the High Sher-
if, or, if made upon the Island of Ca
hu, of the Attorney General. It was

There is absolutely no doubt that the
man who says that he is G. L. Brokaw,
and who is now in Jail awaiting trans
portation to Seattle for trial in the
United States court, is actually the man
he claims to be. He is charged with
conspiracy to defraud the United States
the others with him having been F. NJ.
Barrett and Fred Bowen, both of
Browns Valley, Minnesota.
Brokaw was very unwilling to talk
for publication when he was visited at
Oahu prison this morning.
You see I don't think I am guilty."
he said, land 1 don't wish to say any
thing that would prejudice my chan
ces."
1t was pointed out that his case would
not be prejudiced by a simple state
ment of the cnarge made against him
upon which he consented to talk.
THE charge against Barrett. Bowen
and myself was that while in Spokane,
Washington, we conspired to obtain
timber lands i'm Flathead County. Mon
tana, under the Stone and Timber Act.
BY that act one man can only take up
100 acres, but big companies have from
time to time got a number of men to
take up tracts adjoining and then work
the whole thing. I did not take up any
land, 1 was afraid to- However. I was
accused of conspiring to do so and also
of subornation Of perjury. The second
Indictment was dismissed on examina-
ton as I had never been in Flathead
County in my life except in passing
through on the train.
Il was released on 800 bail on the

conspiracy charge, but while in Seattle
about a year ago 1 jumped my bond
and shipped aboard the Henry Falling,
bound for Australia. Did know any
thing about sea life? Well. no. I had
never been on ship before, but I made
out all right after awhile 1 stayed a
month in Sydney and then went to
Brisbane where 1 was sick with stom-
ach trouble. I got very tired of the
whole country and was anxious to get
back, so I shipped on the Charles Gou-
nod and got back as far as Hawaii
where I surrendered.
Mind, I don't think I am guilty. but
the other two have pleaded guilty and
have been sentenced to a years lmpris-
onment each and fine of $4,000.
THE feeling that was a fugitive
from the law, whether guilty or not,
was always bothering me and I am
glad to go back I expect to be tried in
Seattle as Judge Hansford has trans
ferred the case from Spokane, where
the conspiracy is said to have taken
place"
Just then the patrol wagon arrived
to take Brokaw up to the federal court
ana the interview was cut short.
The man looks haggard and worn. He
Is absolutely destitute and is dressed
in ragged old tweed suit that must
have seen hard service. He is tall
rawboned fellow and talks grammatic-
ally with the peculiar accent of the
middle west.
I'll go back and take my medicine,
if there's any medicine to be taken" he
said in parting.

of peculiar scaweed known as -kelp, a
long, rich, olive-green marine vine which
rises from the bottom, in thirty or forty
feet of water, to the surface and droops IN
festoons, forming a beautiful hanging gar
den with life peculiarly its own. On
the rocky islands of the Pacific Coast
from the Coronados to the FarallOnes
this vine is particularly abundant and
on the lee shores may be examined with
ease from the many glass-bottom boats.
At midday, at half-tide, is the best
time to visit these hanging gardens;
then the bottom can be seen plainly-a
vivid turquoise blue cleaning brightly
through the interstices of golden (really
green) branches, which when illumined
by the sun takes on an Old-gOld hue.
The leaves are twenty or thirty feet III
length. about twelve inches in width,
richly futed, and hang in a thousand
positions of grace and beauty, 50 that in
peering down from above one looks
through innumerable halls and parterres
that extend away to intinity.
In South America, especially about the
Falkland Islands, the kelp (Mdcr0cJStis)
attains enormous length, sections esti-
mated at one thousand feet in length
having been taken up and used as anchors
for vessels, which thus were saved the
trouble of lowering and hosting anchor.
On this desolate coast the kelp forms a
protecting fringe for fishes which
otherwise would be unable to exist,
due to the constant and heavy surf
that always is piling in, and thus in +

almost entirely upon the fish, the 4

the shore this forest of hanging vines
constitutes shelter for many animals. It
is forest of the seaweed rising from great
depth, rolling over and over in strange
but graceful convolutions in the surf or
tidal currents, menace to swimmers
and often to vessels, but when dormant
