SIX APPEALS
BEFORE THE
SUPREME COURT
TERRITORY Is RESPONDENT IN
FIVE OF THEM-WHILE ONE Is
PRIVATE CASE.

Hawaii will figure quite prominently
before the United States Supreme
Court next session. There will be at
to be argued before the highest tri-
bunal of the land.
The most interesting of these is the
appeal taken by Emma L. Kaipu in
behalf of her mother Makala Kaipu,
from the judgment of the U. 5. district
court where President Pinkham was
the defendant. This case will test the
leper segregation lws of the Territory
and is the first case of the kind that
has ever been taken out of the ter
ritorial courts. The attack is upon
the police power and the method Of
process of the territory insdealing with
the segregation of lepers. Under the
territorial laws the board of health can
seize a person suspected of leprosy;
cause them to be examined and COM
mitted to the settlement wipthout any
formal appearance before a court. The
case was brought originally before u.
U. District Judge Dole and was decid-
ed in favor of Pinkham. Mrs. Kaipu
being remanded to the custody of the
board of health. c. w. Ashford was
her attorney. The present appeal has
been taken from Judge Dole's decision
Attorney General Peters has pre-
pared the brief for the respondent
which is President Pinkham in this
instance The brief was forwarded by
the S. S. Doric last week to Washing
ton. A copy went to ]. H. McKenney
the clerk of the Supreme Court and
another to the Department of Justice.
The latter department will conduct the
case before the u. S. Supreme court.
First Deputy Attorney General NJ. F.
Prosser prepared the brief in the La
hainaluna case which is another ap-
peal that has been taken against the
Territory. D. L. wilmington and ].
w. Cathcart are to conduct argument
against the Territory before the court.
Both have left for the mainland. The
brief of the territory in this case went
forward at the same time with that
of the Kaipu case.
There are three tax cases to be heard
by the Supreme Court. Two are ap-
peals by the Rapid Transit and Land
Company in the matter of income and
property TAX Judgments SeCuTeu against
the company by James L. Holt, the tax
assessor. The other tax appeal is that
in behalf of A. Tullett and the Inter
Island Steam Navigation Company as
garnishee. This case is to determine
whether seamen employed in inter-
island vessels are exempt from the
payment of taxes as is the case with
other classes of seafaring men.
Another case which the Territory will
have to defend before the Supreme
Court is the appeal of Cotton Brothers
in the matter of the government dred-
ger that was lost off Pearl Harbor bar
through the alleged neglect of the con-
tractors.
Bierce VS.. c. ]. Hutchins is also
another case to come up for argument.
This case is where lein on some rail-
road rails for the Kona Sugar Com
pany, is involved. Hutchins secured
a judgment in the local courts and the
appeal is from that judgment.
No attorneys are to go from Homo
lulu to represent the Territory or Pink
ham as the Department of Justice will
conduct those cases.

Will THE
Fifth co
TO CAUCUS?
REPORTED THAT SOME REPUBLI-
CAN MEMBERS OF LEGISLATURE
FROM OAHU ARE VERY COY.

The question of the Republican mem.
bers of the legislature from the two
Oahu districts going into caucus is now
being discussed According to one re-
port the members from the Fifth Dis
trict have refused to meet the mem
bers from the Fourth and, in conse-
quence, there is hitch over any ar
rangement for the oahu senators and
representatives reaching any definite
policy 1t Is explained that one reason
the Fifth district members have for
refusing to caucus, is the apprehension
that some of their favored measures
might be choked off by the action of a
caucus.
Inquiry among the Fifth district
members however has elected the
statement that there has been no fe-
fusal upon their part to caucus. In
fact they state that no suggestion of
caucus had been made them and they,
on the contrary are not opposed to such
preliminary conferenc The impress
sion among some of the Fifth district
members is that all of the legislators
from oahu will confer with the Repub-
lican executive committee and canvas
the situation and arrive at some un-
derstanding as regards party policy
at least Now that Chairman Alex
Robertson has returned from the main
land it is expected that he will be re-
quested to call for such a joint confer
ence in order that matters of party as
we'll as rublic policy may be consid-
cred.

The third piece leased consisted OF
two pieces of the Kaohe III lands on
the higher slopes of Mauna Kea. Tho
1900 foot elevation passes through all
of this land leased Tie upset rental
was $500 and CAREER secured it for S5O1.
1t contains 1890 acres.
The fourth lease sold was to 5S5
acres of the Pauahi land in Kohala.
The land is at the 4,5OO foot elevation
and the rental is for years and
months, dating from January 1, 1907.
The upset price was 1851, and Carter
secured it for 1852. The leases of the
other lands date from September 8,
1907, Carter bid in the leases as guar
dian of Annie r. X Parker.
In making the leases the government
retains the right to withdraw any par
ticular part of the land for settlement.
The lease for the land in Kohala was
made for a brief time, in order to have
the lease expire at the same time that
leases to surrounding government land
expire. The entire section can then be
thrown open for settlement:

To Quash
Judge Hapai
MOTION TO PUT QUIETUs ON HIS
ALTERNATE WRIT OF MANDA-
MUS IS FILED.

The government is getting after
Judge G. W. A. Hapai OF Hilo. This
morning a motion on behalf of Land
Commissioner Pratt, to quash the al
tentative writ of mandamus obtained
by Hapai was filed by F. w. Milverton
of the Attorney Generals department
The motion is based on the following
grounds:
First-That the alternative writ of
mandamus does not set forth facts
sufficient to justify the issuance of a
peremptory writ of mandamus or to
entitle Hapai to any RELIEF whatsoever
second-That it does not appear that
Judge De Bolt, who caused the alter
native writ to issue, mad jurisdiction
to issue the said writ.
Third-That the alternative writ was
not issued in the name of the Terri

tory of Hawaii.
Fourth-That it appears from the
writ that the Circuit Judge of the
Fourth Circuit had exclusive jurisdic-
ton in chambers over the subject mat
ter; and
Fifth-That it does not appear that
the verification to the petition upon
which said alternative writ of manda-
mus was issued was made by the appli-
cant for said alternative writ of man
damus, or by some person on his be-
the basis of said writ.
Judge Hapai took up some land at
Olaa about five years ago while E. s.
Boyd was acting as land commissioner.
He failed, so Commissioner Pratt
claims, to live up to the agreement re-
lative to taking UP homestead land
and failed to live on the property.
Pratt went to Hilo some weeks ago
and made an investigation into the
matter. He was satisfied that Hapai
had not lived up to the conditions nee
essary to give him the title to the
land. Pratt agreed to give Hapai an
other chance and returned to Homo
lulu, believing that the matter had
been amicably settled But to Pratt's
surprise he was served with a writ of
mandamus directing him to give Ha-
pai title to the land. The action of
Hapai caused considerable surprise in
social circles.

intelligence at the headquarters of the
army. The second class of information
is gained from spies, deserters, prison
ers, newspapers and reconnaissance,
ETC. The Japanese were undoubtedly
very successful in their application of
these methods and also In developing
new details, but so far as representing
them to have done anything new is
without warrant. During the NapO-
leonic wars the Archduke Charles
adopted fully as clever a ruse for secur-
ing information of the condition and
morale of the French army as the Jap
anese ever did. He caused some Jew
peddlers to go into the French camp
with the alleged purpose of buying up
the hides of the dead horses. The Jews
remained in the French camp for a
considerable time and not until they
had returned to the Austrian lines was
it learned that they had been spies in
the employ of the enemy.
There is no doubt but every military
nation that has considered the posi-
bility of a war with the United States
has secured all of the necessary pre-
liminary information. Beyond any
question HllllIdIy dSeHls from lhe NdIl-
GUS governments have studied the con-
ditions in the Hawaiian Islands, have
learned the most favorable points of
landings and are acquainted with the
resources Of Honolulu and all the ISL

such information is nothing in the ma
ture of an overt act. 1t is simply
common sense application of the mill

For their had told them Allah promised victory and swift
They foolish and their folly the lives of wife and

Heavy Cattle Loss
in Pine Valley.

Frank Parry and Andrew Patton
came up to Eureka from Pine Val
ley Monday on business, the for
mer remaining here for visit
with friends. Mr.. Parry states
that the ranchers in the north end
of Eureka county have recently
lost a good many cattle and they
are still dying. The earlier deaths
we're principally caused by what
seemed to be frozen hoofs, or the
same disease that carried off SO
many cattle in Newark Valley dur
ing the Winter. The losses in
Pine Valley this Spring are un-
usually heavy and the recent
storms increased the death rate.
Mr.. Parry says that cattle are weak,
seem 10 get no strength from their
food and lie down and die. Chas.
Hale of Pine Valley has skinned
so head of cattle that died recent
