Many
Appeals To
Washington
MOTLEY ATTORNEYS SENT PA
PERS ON APPEAL BEFORE DE-
CISION WAS GIVEN HERE.

The bulky record in the case Of the
Motley will contest was sent to Wash
ington in advance Of a submission to
the Supreme Court here in order that
there might be no delay in getting an
appeal started. Both sides are SAID to
intend a fight to the very last ditch,
and as the record is a very long one
and the rules limit the time within
which action may be taken at Wash
ington, the attorneys prepared them
selves in advance, and had their record
ready to file in Washington before the
court here got to work in the matter.
In other important cases which may go
TO the highest court in the nation, at
torneys are said to be adopting a SINH
lar policy. This is a result of the diff
Guilty encountered by Pioneer Mill in a
recent effort to take an appeal The
attempt to get the case into the court
at Washington failed because 1t was
impossible to get a writ of error in
Washington in time to make it effect
i've. The Motley attorneys are not TAX
ing any such chances.
Whether the amendment to the Or
ganic Act allowing appeals to Wash
ington was desired here or not, there is
no doubt that it is being much taken
advantage Of and the highest court
win apparently have a lot Of work to
do on Hawaiian appeals.
A bill Of exceptions covering pa type
written pages has been filed in the case
of John Kingman VS.. the Honolulu
Rapid Transit & Land Company, in
which a verdict of $1,000 damages was
awarded to plaintiff, The transcript Of
testimony is equally large, so that the
record covers over 500 pages altogether
1t is understood to be the intention to
take the case to the Supreme Court Of
the United States.
1t is said that the plaintiff might pre-
vent an appeal by the other side by
renting 81 of the judgment and thus
making the amount involved less than
$5,00O which is the smallest amount
over which an appeal to Washington is
allowed and this plan has been dis
cussed.

Twelve
Precincts
In Fourth
A REPUBLICAN MAP SHOWING
THE DISTRICT.

A plan has been made up dividing
the Fourth District into twelve pre-
cincts and changing nearly all the
boundary lines, in order to reduce the
number of voters in each precinct.
Chairman Robertson of the Republican
Central Committee, has made a map
of the district, showing the proposed
new divisions and will submit it to the
general committee for discussion. The
changes begin with the first precinct,
at the Waikiki end of the island, and
continue all through
The alterations will call for general
reorganization of precinct clubs all
over the district and are therefore
matters of considerable interest to all
Republicans and in fact to all voters,
for the plan will probably be sent to
Acting Governor Atkinson as the Re-
publican party's recommendation Of
changes for the coming election. The
executive viii issue a proclamation be-
fore election, naming new boundaries.
The plan was informally discussed at
recent gathering of the members of
the committee and it was generally ap-
proved. Jimmy Boyd was the pr-n-
cipal kicker, having objections to the
cutting up of his precinct, No. /, in
the manner proposed. There will prob
ably be a number of kicks from pre-
cinct men who have their party lines
nicely arranged and think they know
their voters well, but some changes are
regarded as necessary.
The Democratic and Home Rule Gem
tral Committees also have the matter
of precinct changes under cOnsidera-
tiOn,

BIG QUESTIONS IN SENATE

Washington, Jan. g.. - The senate

ping bill. The canal question came
up In connection with a message from
the president in which he said that
the work is being admirably done
and great progress is being made, and
invited the closest scrutiny into all
that had been done by the govern.
ment in the isthmus of Panama. Mr..
German made that utterance the text
for a speech in which he criticised the
salaries paid in connection with work
for the canal and urged congressional
inquiry. He said that the president
is not so much to blame as congress
for his assumption of control on sthe
isthmus, and the chief mistake had
been made when congress released
its hold on canal affairs.
The Dominican Discussion
rose on Mr.. Tillman's resolution max
ing inquiry of the president regarding
the condition of affairs on the island
republic. The resolution was made
the basis for a speech by, Mr. Raymer,
which was his initial effort in the sen
ate. He made an argument for non.
interference by the United States in
the affairs of other countries in the
Western hemisphere except in cases
involving efforts to appropriate terri
tory.
Mr.. Gallinger opened the debate on
the merchant marine shipping bill
and presented an extensive array of
figures in support of that measure.
He said the entire cost of the pro.
posed subsidy for the ten years con-
telnplated would be about $4,000, 900.
With more than four hours devoted

that have been in progress at Caracas
looking to a settlement of issues be-
twoon the Bermudez Asphalt company
and the Venezuelan government and
the departure from Caracas Of the

The secretary has accordingly called
upon Mr.. Calhoun, the presidents spe-

that controversy as the basis for I'M
mediate action on the part of the de-
partment. 1t is probable that the re-
port will be submitted to congress and
some line of action suggested.
France Loses Patience.
President Castro's failure to recog-
nize the French charge at Caracas on
New Years day will not be allowed to
pass unnoticed by the French govern
ment. At the request Of the French
government Mr.. Russell the American
minister at Caracas, will make to
President Castro vigorous and what
may prove to be final representations.
The French governments position is
that It has exhibited sufficient pa
thence in it's attitude toward President
Castro and that the time is near when
action must be substituted for words
unless President Castro changes his
attitude.
French Fleet Ready.
Meanwhile the French feet Is in
the West Indies awaiting the turn OF

Root and M. Jusserand, the French
ambassador, is scheduled for this
week.
Officially the negotiations between
