The question of making up single bal
lots is one that was discussed when
Governor Dole was chief executive, and
At orney General Andrews some years
ago gave an opinion to the same effect
as the decision of yesterday.
Associate Justice Hartwell added a
few remarks to the decision of the court
as announced by Frear, in answer to
some of Edings' arguments. He said
thrt the law had been framed to pre-
serve secrecy and prevent fraud, and
admitting counsels contentious that it
was a hardship to disfranchise a voter
entirely for error made in voting on one
office, the regulation was necessary to
prevent fraud, and some hardship could
not be avoided.
still another question affecting the
cJnstitutionality of the election law
was raised by Edings and may be set
tied in the Kanealii case now pending.
1t is commended that the law is contrary
to the constitution in that it denies the
right of a voter to write on his ballot
the name of any candidate he may
want to vote for. AS the law stands
any ballot on which a name is written
this provision takes away a constitu-
tional right of voter to cast a ballot
for any citizen he chooses.
The ballots as examined yesterday
did not indicate that any change would
have been made in results even if all
the rejected ballots were counted for
the candidates for whom the voters APP
peared to have attempted to vote. The
decision of the court sustaining the rul-
ings of the election inspectors, however,
disposed of any possibility of a change
The one ballot allowed to be counted
though rejected in the official count
was one in which the voter had made
his cross slightly out of the proper
place, and on a dividing line. The court
held that this was a good ballot, and il
counted one for Fernandez. There were
a number among those counted by the
election officers which were not good
ballots under the courts ruling, but moi
enough to change results.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1905-11-16

In the Fernandez case yesterday the
Supreme Court disposed of an impor-
tant election question which has been a
source of trouble in the Secretary's Of
fee forra long time The court held
that the secretary had correctly follow
ed the law in making up the form of
the ballots and hereafter there will be
no question as to how to make them
up. Judge Edings raised the point that
under the law there should be a sep
arate ballot for each class of office, and
that therefore all the ballots were il
legal, all the names having been plac-
ed on one piece of paper.
The decision of the court was given
orally by Chief Justice Frear. He said
that the question of rejection of the
ballots claimed by Fernandez resolved
itself in part into a question of whether
the ballot was to be taken as all one
ballot, or as a number of different bal
lots for the different offices. The chief
justice quoted the statute to show that
there were provisions that all the bal
lots should be of the same color and
the same size and shape He said that
this indicated an intention that the
names of candidates should all be on
one ballot as there would be con-
fusion in mixing them up in a single
ballot box, as provided by law, if they
We're all alike. The court therefore
held that the secretary of the Territory
had acted properly in making up bal
lots containing all the names of candi-
dates on one piece of paper.
This ground of objection to the bal
lots in evidence was therefore overrul-
ed. 1t was an objection applicable to
every ballot cast in the election.
A further ruling of the court given
by the chief justice sustained the cleo
ton inspectors in rejecting ballots in
which voters had made errors. The
court held that as the pieces of paper
We're all one ballot, an error such as
voting for four supervisors when only
three We're to be elected, made the
whole ballot void, instead of merely in
validating the supervisors part of the
ballot.

ROASTED CONSUL

promise. Should the japanese govern
ment hear of this what explanation will
be given? The consul would say: AS
Mr.. Kinney, the attorney for Douse, de-
sired to give five hundred dollars to the
survivors of Yamagata, l simply re-
ceived for them If that be so, why is
it not made public to the brethren? In
order that this be given publicity by an
organ, is there not a newspaper which
is maintained, by misusng the funds
of the consulate? Although the amouri
of sale is small and the sold publica-
tons do not exceed one hundred a day.
yet an organ is an organ and if an
nounced it would become public: but to
keep this secret and conceal it and pre-
tend not to know, clearly proves that
there is a secret. We do not believe in
the excuse of receiving for them. Mr.
Kinney may think that the enraged
Japanese at Puunene will not easily
forgive Douse and that the defendant
can be easily saved If on one side the
trial were postponed, as it is disadvan-
tageous for the defendant to have the
trial at this time, and on the other side
the excitement among japanese is paci-
l
vantage of the avarice of the Japanese
and thus proving the purpose of the ac-

/ drawn into and patted on the cheek

! that Mr.. Saito, considering what he is,
/ was blinded by the gold, even forget

| brethren an objection must be lodged
to the end Whatever the intention of
Mr.. Kinney may be, law is law. In or
/ der to show no other purpose, if the de-
PENDANT desired to give money to the
survivors of Yamagata, then it would
have been proper to show the where
abouts of the survivors and have il
forwarded there. If it were received on
deposit as a convenience then by right
it should be made public and shown
that there is no secrecy and also the
brethren should be acquainted with the
intention of the defendant Neither

Effort To
Appeal
Still On
ATTORNEYS BLOCKED ONCE
MORE THIS MORNING IN TRYING
TO APPEAL TO WASHINGTON.

The Supreme Court this morning
turned down still another effort to get
the case of Nose Meheula VS.. the Pio-
neer Mill Company into the Supreme
Court of the United States and the at
torneys are still casting about for a
means of appealing. After other meth
DDS had failed Kinney, Mechanism &
Cooper last night filed a motion to post
pone the issuance of the remittur for 30
days, in order that they might petition
a justice of the United States Supreme
Court for a writ of error. The motion
was opposed by Ashford, for the plain
tiff, who won in the courts here and
doesn't want any appeal.
The matter was argued this morning
by Mechanism and Ashford, before
Justices Hartwell and Wilder and
Judge De Bolt. Justice Hartwell gave
the decision of the three members of
the court, to the effect that the court is
without authority to grant the motion
and that the remittitur must issue at
once.
The attorneys left to seek a new
means of taking advantage of their
right of appeal 1t appears by the deci-
sions so far that Congress amended the
Organic Act to allow appeals to Wash
ington in cases involving $4,000 or over
| but that there is no means of procedure
provided, to take the appeal, in a case
which is decided here on exceptions.

HOLY WATER FOR
THE JAPANESE
LOCAL PRIESTS ARE SAID TO BE
DOING A GOOD BUSINESS AMONG
THEIR COUNTRYMEN.

"A number of fake Shinto establish
ments have been started up here and are
selling holy water to sick people who
are fools enough to buy it, The takers
appear to be getting up quite a bust
ness, as kahunas, or witch doctors.
They have a temple on the Asylum
road, one on South street in Kakaako
and one on Aala lane.
THE business is much like that of
the Kahuna or faith cure fake. The
Japanese here are of a class easily dup
ed and it is therefore quite easy to get
money from them for such schemes as
those of these holy water men. Quite a
business is therefore being done in the
sale of the water, and in prayers which
are for sale. The leaders are merely
fake Shintoist. The water is supposed
to be some sacred product and is sup
posed to have curative powers. The au-
thorities should look after these takers.
Their temple on the Aala lane has quite
a big temple gate, or tori, and is quite
as imposing institution, indicating con-
siderable prosperity"
The above article from the Hawaii
Shinpo is correct in the main though
from some investigations made this
morning it was found that the japanese
priests do not sell the so-called holy
water" Following the custom set by
other churches, they will offer prayers
for such persons as may think that they
need them and will supply holy water
free of charge, but they are not averse
to receiving such offerings for their
services as any devout japanese may
feel like contributing.
From all appearances the holy water
faucet at the Aala lane temple must
have been in the hands of the plumber
this morning for the place was shut UP
tight and a more absolute ignorance OF
English than that displayed by the Gus
/ todian to reporter who was in a de-
vout mood and wanted little holiness
it would be hard to imagine.
The services of Toma Abe, the Jap
/ anese special officer were accustomed
but to no effect.
81 go one time there but 'bonze,
that's all same priest, he shut up. He
no sell me nothing. No good for me
to 60" said Toma.
"Then you don't believe in the eff.
cacy of holy water from Japan, Toma?'
he was asked.
81 donno what that" he said, but
don't think any good"-adding compre-
i hensively, though with a dash of pessi,
mism. II don't think anything any
good" IS EAIH1

INQUIRED INTO
SUSPICIOUS DEATH
Continued from page oneJ

The two companions of the boy, who
were with him at the time he was kill
ed, will be held by the authorities until
after the evidence can be presented to
the grand jury and that body make
some disposition of the case.
The efforts of the authorities to UNI
ravel the mystery were baffled for sew
eral days however by the persistence
of the two boys suspected of having
caused the death of the youth, in stick
ing to story that they had agreed up
on Immediately following the tragedy.
Neither of the suspected boys was
more than IA years of age but from the
time they were taken into custody last
Friday until last night, they stead
lastly adhered to their original eXplana-
ton of the crime. That was that they
had not been present with the deceased
at the time of his death. AS a matter
of fact, the investigation by the police
yesterday went to indicate that both
were present at the time young Ka-
wal was killed and that one of them,
Mkt Lemi by name had fired the fatal
| pistol shot that had stretched his COM
panion head at his feet. The pair
finally broke down last night under
severe cross examination by the police
and admitted their part in the tragedy.
! Last Thursday afternoon John Ka-
wall, John Kaukane and Mkt Lemi
! all about IA years of age went to the
house belonging to Mkt Lemis father
at Aiea where two of the boys slept
as they attended school nearby. The
boys got to playing with a small toy
pistol but Mkt produced 80 caliber
revolver that belonged to his father
: Mkt and John Hawai- sat on the edge
of the bed quite close to each other
Mkt In handling the revolver, began
swapping the hammer and a cartridge
was discharged the bullet entering the
left side of Kawai's head, causing death
instantly. The surviving boys We're
naturally frightened but Mkt put the
revolver back into his fathers room
They agreed that they would feign
| ignorance of the manner Of their COM
panion's death and try to claim that
they all left the cottage and had later
seen him in company with some other
people going toward the cottage where
he was found dead. After connecting
this story the pair left the house and
went to Puuloa where Mikis father
was working.
On Friday morning the Japanese who
attends to Mikis house at Aiea went
to the house to wake the boys Tor
school. He found the lifeless body OF
John Hawai- on the floor where the
boys had left 1t. The Japanese notlhed
the authorities and an investigation
followed. The two boys were taken
into custody, for it was learned thal
they had been seen, in the company OF
the dead Hawaii, go into the cottage

Mr., BUTLER
AS nD'AR TAGNAN'
A SPIRITED, ROMANTIC, AND EN-
JOYABLB PLAY, WELL ACTED AT
THE ORPHEUM.

Richard BUTLER came to his own
gloriously last evening as "D'Artag-
nan" in the romantic play of the Three
Musketeers" at the Orpheum. Pleasing
as he was as Sherlock Holmes in the
melodrama that has been written
around Conan Doyle's character of the
same name, enjoyable as he was in
the comedy "All the Comforts of Home"
it was as "D'Artagnan" that his talents
were given the best medium of ex-
preston, so far to the Honolulu thea
tire goers.
There is something i'm the swash-
bucklng spirit of the times of which
the play treats, of the play itself, and
of the Gascon which he interprets that
appeals to even the most material and
stolid or the most world-jaded of us
all. 1t is the play and counterplay Of
the elemental emotions and motives,
freed from coarseness and brutality,
and appealing to noble sentiments.
Swords and jack-boots, and plumed
hats, slashed doublets and cavaliers
! cloaks all appeal to the spirit of adj
venture, to the chivalrous sentiment.
The gallant, the beautiful lady, the
| dash of resolution, the ready blade, stir
even the dullest of us.
That is the kind of play it is. 1t is
such characters, and such times and
such actions that Mr.. BUTLER and his
capable associates give in this play.
| The costuming of the play is excel
! lent and adds its part to the enjoy
ment of very enjoyable performance
| The scenery and accessories with Whicl
the piece is mounted are adequate. MI
BUTLER, handsome, well built, graceful
| in movement, with his splendid voice
and presence made a delightful ID
Artagnan.' 1t is the best role i'm which
he has been seen so far during this
| engagement.
Mr.. Gleason made an excellent "Rich
elieu." He is a conscientious actor
with much ability and a world of stage
Experience that gives a judicious finisf
to everything he does. Messrs. Wilkes
Lowell and Auerbach as "Porthos,
"Athos," and "Aramis' gave splendid
foil and background to "D'Artagnan,
and the intrigue which forms the rapiC
action of the play. Mr. Earl as Buck
ingham," and Mr.. Drum as the king
were satisfactory. Miss Hayward
was a splendid Lady de Winter anC
Miss Fowler an excellent "Anne o
Austria" Miss Chandler played tn
sprightly Constance" and again mad
herself a favorite by her musical spe
cialty between the acts.
The Three Musketeers" will b
presented again this evening.

from the cottage and had later seen
Mkt and John Kaukane leave the place
The suspected boys denied all knowl-

they had not been with Hawai- at the
cottage then but had seen him go to-

When asked to explain the cause of the
pistol report heard by the japanese and
the other native boy, the youngsters
boldly asserted that It had evidently
been caused by the swapping of a cap
on a little toy revolver with which
they had been playing. They had
left this toy pistol in the room with
the body.
The boys were brought to the city
