of all the evidence secured by the state
against the Eppingers will make it I'M
possible to convict the defendants. At

PREPARING
SCHOOL BRIEF
THE FAMOUS LAHAINALUNA
APPEAL IS TO BE ARGUED BE-
FORE U. S. SUPREME COURT.

Deputy Attorney General NJ. F. Pros
ser is preparing the brief for the Ter
ritory in the case Of f. ]. Lowrey, G.
P. Castle and w. o. Smith, trustees,
VS.. the Territory of Hawaii This
case is the Lahainaluna School mat
ter and it is to be argued the Supreme
Court of the United States on January
Z. None of the territorial officials will
go to Washington to represent Hawaii
as the department of Justice at Wash
ington will conduct the TerritorYs
side of the case. ID. L. Wilmington
of the firm of Castle and wilmington
will leave the latter part of this month
by the Alameda, for Washington,
where he will argue the appeal taken
by the trustees, from the opinion by
the Supreme Court of the Territory.
The case is an interesting one. ORR
ginally the Lahainaluna school was
maintained by the American Board Of
Foreign Missions. subsequently it was
decided to the Territory and has been
conducted by the Territory as a school.
1t was claimed by the American board
that as a part of the agreement of
this deed, the Territory to teach a GER
tain creed in the school. 1t is claim
ed that the Territory has not lived up
to its obligation. The action was be-
gun against the territory by the three
trustees, who asked that the Territory
fulfill the alleged obligation and teach
the desired creed, or else that the Ter
ritory pay the board $4,000 for the
property.
A demurrer was entered by the Ter
ritory, the ground being taken that the
petition Of the trustees had failed to
show that the Territory had violated

L. $. JUDGE DOLE SETS THE
FIRST DAY OF SPECIAL TERN.

The lumber trust cases-so-called-
as counsel for the defendants quality
them, were set for hearing in the spe-
cial February term by L. S. Judge Dole
this morning. This arrangement was
not effected without considerable argu-
ment on the part of U. S. District At
torney Breckons on one side and the
various attorneys for the defendants
on the other. There were present i'm
the L. S. District court this morning f.
r .Hemenway, Judge Stanley, A. Lewis
Jr., and d. L. Wilmington representing
the various lumber firms that have been
made party to the prosecution. Mr..
Breckons on behalf of the government
desired the cases set for a prompt
trial. But all of the attorneys for the
defence pleaded being occupied with
trials or preparation of other cases
Finally Breckons moved that the court
set the cases for trial on the first day
of the special February term of court
following the Hilo term This was
agreeable to the attorneys so the court
granted the motion.

TO QUASH GAMBLING
INDICTMENT
w. T. RAWLINs FILED A MOTION
IN THE CASE OF NAPOLEON IN
JUDGE LINDSAY'S COURT.

w. r. Rawlins began action this
morning in Judge Lindsay's court to
knock out one of the last indictments
returned by the Grand jury. 1t was
in the case of Sam Apoliona, alias Ma
poleon, charged with maintaining and
conducting a crap game.
Apoliona was arraigned several days
ago and pleaded not guilty. He had
no attorney at this time. Rawlins to-
day filed motion to allow the defen-
dant to withdraw his plea, on the
grounds that the Indictment is defec-
tive and he had no attorney at the
time of arraignment. A further mo-
ton to quash the indictment was filed.
The pricipal grounds upon which the
motion to quash is based is because the
indictment fails to state upon what
date the defendant was alleged to have
violated the law The motions will
come up before Judge Lindsay tomor-
row morning.

PERSONAL TAX
OF JAPANESE
THE LEGAL JUSTIFICATION FOR
COLLECTING OF JAPANESE AS
THEY BOARD THE STEAMER.

THE position that the tax office
takes in the matter of collecting the
school, poll and road taxes from the
Japanese" said Deputy Tax Collector
Medley lis not one of coercion in any
way. We act entirely within the pro-
vince of the law.
In stopping japanese at the steamer
gangways, who are departing from Ho-
nolulu in order to collect their taxes,
we do not threaten or attempt in any
way to prevent their going aboard the
steamer and leaving Honolulu if they
refuse to pay. But we can seize their
baggage. Under our laws the baggage
can be seized by the territory without
any legal proceedings.
Taxes of this character can not be
collected from any one unless they
have been a resident of the territory on
January l. For instance, if Japa-
nese came to Honolulu on January 2
and left here on the following Decem-
Der 81, we could not collect such taxes.
He has to have lived here from January
in order that the taxes can date from
that time. Should man come here
on December 81 and leave here on the
following January he would be sub
ject to the payment of this tax. Where
ever any japanese can show us that
they are not subject to the payment
of these personal taxes on account of
non-residence we do not collect them,
but very few if any cases, have occur
red where the Japanese have produced
their passports to prove such a con-
dition.
Il can not state so upon authority
but am rather inclined to the belief
that the Japanese have been declining
to show their passports for the reason
that positive proof might be secured
that their residence here had been only
for a brief time, previous to their re-
Stunning their voyage to the mainland"

SUPREME COURT GIVES
THREE OPNONS TODAY
ASIDE GIVING vETLEsoN THE CUSTODY OF HIS
BoYs-DETERN11NED WHO GOT THE RENT FROM SOME
MoRTGAGED LANDS AND SETTLED QUESTION ABOUT
PAYMENT OF A BILL XCHANGE.

Three opinions were handed down
this morning by the Supreme Court.
None of them were opa ~anaespecially
sensational or interesting character.
The consideration involved in two in
stances were not extensive.
One case was that where Talula Lucy
Vetlesen Miner appealed from an or
der by the Maui circuit court which
annulled an order granting her the
custody of her two children and Civ
ing them to L. NJ Vetlesen their father
who was the former husband of Mrs.
Miner. In September 1904 the plain
tiff Mrs. Miner, obtained an absolute
divorce from her husband and was
awarded the custody of the two chill
dren, two boys. Subsequently the fol-
lowing September she married an Ha-
waiian William Miner. Last Septem-
Der Vetlesen had the former decree set
aside and the children awarded to him.
The mother appealed.
The principal ground upon which the
former decree had been changed was
because the step father was an Ha-
waiian and an alien to the children
and further that the educational facil-
tiles in Honolulu were superior to
those at Makawao where the mother
and children lived.
The opinion of the Supreme Court
which was written by Associate JUS
tice Wilder, reverses the order appeal
ed from and in the syllabus holds that
showing that the mother who had
been granted a divorce from the first
husband on the ground of non-supportr
| had since married an Hawaiian was
not sufficient ground to authorize a
change in the decree concerning the
care and custody of the children. The
opinion had stated that the testimony
was to the effect that the children
were being well cared for by theii
mother and step-father.
In a second opinion written by Chic

NO COURT IN
CHRISTMAS WEEK
VARIOUS JUDGES HAVE DECIDED
TO TAKE A VACATION-CLERK
WILD BE ON DUTY.

The courts will probably take vaca-
ton during the Christmas holidays. An
arrangement has been practically
reached whereby the Supreme Court,
the U. District Court and the va
rious departments of the Circuit court
will adjourn the day before Christmas
until the day following New Years.
u. S. Judge Dole announced in his
court this morning that he understood
such arrangement was to be made. All
of the judges with the exception of
Circuit Judge Robinson have expressed
themselves, as satisfied with such a
plan and is now likely that no sessions
will be held during the period Robin
son had not been seen up to this morn
ing about the matter.
Chief Justice Frear stated this morn
ing that a clerk would be on duty dur
ing a part of each day however, so
that any papers that it was desired to
be filed, could be received. The hours
when the clerk will be on duty have
not been determined yet.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1906-12-14

Justice Frear, the court dismissed an
appeal that the defendant in the case
of the Western National Bank VS.. w.
c. Peacock and Company Ltd. had
taken from default judgment made
by the circuit judge in favor of the
plaintiff. The suit was brought to re-
cover on a bill of exchange for $1,74S56.
Peacock and Company set up as de-
fence want of consideration claiming
that they had never received any con-
sideraticn for the bill of exchange.
The bill had been drawn by the Hill
bert Mercantile Co. payable to the
plaintiff and endorsed accepted by the
defendant. The opinuion holds in the
syllabus, that an exception or error
and not appeal is the proper method
Of bringing up a judgment by default
entered in a circuit court case although
ordered by the circuit judge at cham
bers.
The third opinion written by Asso-
ciate Justice Hartwel determines the
question as to which side should draw
the rents of certain property in the
case of D. L. Peterson VS.. the Waia-
lua Agricultural Company Ltd, and
Cecil Brown. The plaintiff claimed
the rent Of certain lands which he had
bought subject to a mortgage made
by his grantor to the Waialua Agricul-
tural Co. and which did not specifically
assign the rents of the mortgaged prop
erty and provided that upon default
the MORTGAGE, its successors or as
signs, might, with or without first TAX
ing possession, sell all the said pre-
misses or any part thereof at public
sale" When the matter of the pay
ment of tlese rents was disputed both
sides had Cecil Brown appointed to re-
ceive the rents until the case could be
determined by the court and he was
therefore made party defendant. The
court decided that the rents are pay.
able to the Waialua Agricultural Com.
pany.
