ant, nearly concluded his closing ad-

cused until 8 p. m.

slider the courts instructions to the

LAND PURCHASED
BY kALAkAUA

A mandamus suit was brought by
Kapiolani Estate. Ltd, against Land
Commissioner Pratt yesterday to COM
pei respondent to issue land patent
to petitioner for fifty-two and a quar-
ter acres of land at Kemoo, Waialua
district, Oahu. On being served with
the summons Mr.. Pratt sent it directly
TO Attorney General Peters, who had
advised him to refuse tender of the
alleged purchase price, with interest
from date of alleged sale, April q,
1887. The defense will be that the al
legged purchaser and his successors
have slept on their rights.
1t is alleged in the petition that King
Kalakaua bought the land at a sale
held by Luther Aholo, Minister of the
Interior. on the above date The price
was s170 and, though there is no record
Of payment, it is alleged that Kala-
kaua paid for other lands bought at
the same time. 1t is stated that the
land is a long strip, averaging 500 feet
in width, running between two gulches,
800 feet above sea level and unfit for
anything but pasture. c. w. Ashford
is attorney for petitioner.

IS ACCUSED
Two More Charges Are
Made Against
Him.

Warrants were issued yesterday for
the arrest Of P. D. Keuet Jr. upon
two charges of embezzlement. Tile
story Of the offense alleged. as relat-
ed at the Attorney Generals office
is one OF tne most remarkable that
has ever been told in Honolulu. TheI =
is pending. il seems, in the Circuit
Court a suit under the title of II. r.
Scott Ct al. E. -. Pilipo e. al,
which action has been in court long
time ana which involves an amount OF
money footing up something like ten
thousand dollars.
KelIett. il is alleged, prepared ana
presented to Judge De Bolt. before
whom the case is penuIng. two checks
which were made payable TO enc l..
M. Silva One of these checks was
for s135 and the other was for $3.50.
A singular part of the proceeding, a
most singular part, was that Silva
WAS not r party TO the case. and had
nothing to do with it, any more than
Keilett had. and yet Judge De Bolt
signed the two checks that were pre-
scented to him, and they were SUISSE
quently paid on his order. In fact,
they could not have been paid other
wise. the signature of the judge be-
ing necessary for the payment OF funds
involved IN a case in his court
These checks were drawn in April
ana May OF last year, il is alleged.
and il is further charged that KelIett
secured the endorsement Of Silva to
the checks and then appropriated the
money secured upon them TO his own
use All this. Of course. he will have
a chance to explain in court. if he can.
Doubtless. also, Judge De Bolt will
be able 10 explain his connection with
the matter. which in it's present stage
| is somewhat puzzling. It may be ex-
planned. however, that at the time
these checks were drawn Kellett was
the clerk in Judge De Bolts court,
and the jurist may have thought that
the checks for the amounts alleged to
have been embezzled were drawn for
a legitimate purpose. It is customary
for Circuit Judges TO trust a good deal
to their clerks-perhaps, in some cases,
too much.
p. Danson KelIett was arrested at
his home last night and bail set at
$1,000 in each case.

LAND REGISTRATION
COURT MATTERS

A supplemental answer has been filed
in the Court of Land Registration by
Wahiawa Water Co, Ltd, in the mat
ter of the petition of Martha E. Hol-
loway for a registered title. 1t alleges
that T. L. Holloway and others en-
tered into an agreement with Waialua
Agricultural Co, Ltd, and others on
April 6, 1901, agreeing to convey to a
for a water system; that such a cor
poration was formed under the name
of this respondent, and that the right
of way over the Holloway property ap-
pears on a map filed in that court in
the matter of the registration of town
site block 3 of Wahiawa Colony tract.
Wherefore said Wahiawa Water Co,
Ltd, prays that the certificate of title
issued herein may be made subject
to the aforesaid right of way for a
ditch"

HOMESTEADS FOR
NATIVES ON MAUI

James W. Pratt, Commissioner of
Public Lands, will before long adver-
tise the opening of sixty-three home
steads on the Island of Maui. They
are the Keanae and Wailua lands
and suitable for the raising of taro.
The homesteads will be allotted on
the 999-year lease plan. which gives
life tenure absolutely to their respec-
tive holders but without power of ALI
enation. 1t is an opportunity for so
many native families to make their
living upon the soil.

The corporations, that is. the men
who compose the corporations. were
just as guilty as the little fellows who
went to the penitentiary. They are
criminals of the very worst stamp. and
yet, under the law made by a Repu-

TRUST BUSTING PASTIME.

All that has so far been done against
trust plundering is merely scratching
the surface Not trust has been forced
to reduce its enormous profits and in
deed the cost of living has greatly in
creased since the so-called trust busting
began. Does not this show that the Re
publican politicians, although making
faces at the trusts in public. are secret
ly allowing them to continue their pre-
datory warfare on the people. If the
Republican party really wished to pre-
vent the trusts selling their products
cheaper abroad than here. the leaders
in Congress would have allowed some
sort of tariff revision bill to pass. But
all the bills for that purpose have been
voted down in committee by party
vote. even the bill to reduce the tariff
to 100 per cent. on those articles that
are taxed over that enormous per cent
age. The fact is the trust busting cam
paign is intended to just scare the trusts
anu coiHplHtS clioush ~ thcy VIII coihe
down with the dust The campaign
fund in that way is replenished and the
corporations and the Republican leaders
are combined for new lease of life.
That pleasant pastime is rather ex-
pensive Cor the people for all they buy
has advanced on an average Il per cent
