(From Tuesdays Daily
AT ten o'clock this morning judge
Byron w. Preston of this city opened
the December term of the district
court after but one days rest since
the closing of the last term. The
calendar for this term indicates that
it will be a short one, as there is little
important business and fewer causes
for trial than we're on the calendar at
the opening of the last term. The
printed calendar has 263 cases, while
at this time last term there were 336
cases. Out of that number there are
IL criminal cases against 10 last term,
fourteen garnishments against an
even dozen last term. On the probate
calendar there are only 55 cases, while
there were SO last time and on the
law. 1T, where there were 226 before.
A number of cases ON the docket have
also been disposed of already, having
been taken up before the last tern
closed, so that there remain compare
lively but few important matters for
disposition during the present session.
Tomorrow morning the members OF
the grand jury panel will report and
the jury for the term will be drawn.
With the exception of a few cases left
over from the last term there win be
but few matters to come up before the
grand jury and 1t is expected that
their session will be a short one.

IN THE DISTRICT COURT
Disposition Of Various Matters by
Judge and Jury.

Judge Willcockson closed the DC.
tober term of the district court Satur-
day afternoon after completing all the
business that had come before him.
Saturday was the forty-eighth day of
the term and among the last cases to
be decided was that of Ben c. Buxton
VS.. Ethel G. Buxton, in which an or
der was made for the payment of
100000, the largest Judgment found
during the term.
The case grew out of the old Buxton
divorce case in which Mrs. Ethel G..
Buxton was granted a decree of di-
vorce and permanent alimony in the
sum of $4,000, which sum was turn
ed over to Judge Abner Smith, of
Chicago as trustee, who was put un-
der 100000 bonds, furnished by the
American Bonding and Surety Co. Up
until his last satisfactory report in
January, 1905, Judge Smith paid over
the income from the money to Mrs.
Buxton and her children regularly, but
since that time he has paid but $3.50.
Later he went bankrupt, his Ameri-
can Bank in Chicago went to the wall
and he is now under a sentence to
the state penitentiary of Illinois for
embezzlement, having appealed his
own case to the supreme court and
being out under heavy bonds. When
his financial condition became known
Mrs. Buttons attorneys started an in
vestigation and as result the trus-
tee filed petition in the district
court of this county asking to be dis
charged and turning over certain Sc.
curities, including notes, mining and
bank stock and other papers with an
approximate face value of $4,000.
Upon examination these securities
proved to be not only absolutely
worthless. but the bank stock, for one,
was not an asset, but liability, as the
bank was at that time in the hands
of a receiver. Mrs. Buttons attorney
at once asked for the trustees report,
to which they duly objected and when
the objections were heard, they were
sustained by Judge Willcockson and
the trustee was ordered to pay TO the
clerk of the court the sum of $4,000
together with per cent interest from
Jan. l, 1905, less $3.50, the same to be
paid within ten days. This order
throws the liability back on the sure
ties OF the trustees bond, the Ameri-
can Bonding Co. H. w. Gleason was
Mrs. Buttons local attorney

of the October term the following bus
mess was executed:

CROOK,
- SAYS RUMOR,
tss, 20 FLAMES -
STRUCK .SkNDBANk

1t is reported that the transport
Crook, which left today for Manila
ran aground on an uncharted sand
bank along the Alaska coast during
her recent voyage to Valdez with the
Tenth Infantry. -. B.
The officers of the transport, with
their usual extreme caution, have
been trying to keep the matter a sec
ret, and it was not until today that
q rumor leaked out that the Crook
had been in trouble.
On the way to Valdez, while the
Crook was supposedly following her
proper course, she struck a sand-bank
and stuck fast. Before she could be
got off, the ice drifted down and sur
rounded her and she had hard time
getting away at all. She was finally
freed from her dangerous position
without much injury and was able to
proceed on her way to Valdez. She
was, however, obliged to go about
400 miles out of her course to get
there.

BOARD REFUSES
TO GRANT
EXTENSIONS

A teacher who fails to get back
flom her vacation by the time school
commences again loses her job, for the
term at least, and If she has not asked
for an extension of time beforehand
she loses it permanently, according tc
the stand taken by the Board Of Edit
cation yesterday. Consequently the
delay of day in the arrival Of a
steamer might. have serious conse-
quencec.
This matter was discussed by the
Board yesterday afternoon and the
opinion was expressed that the habit
of teachers asking for an extension of
time would have to be stopped. A
resolution was adopted to the effect
that when teacher asked for a sub
stitute 1t would have to be for the
whole term, and If the teacher failed
TO be on hand when school COM
menced, without notifying the Board
in advance, another teacher would be
put in her place permanently.
The application of Miss Blanche
Soper for an extension of her leave of
absence brought the matter up. Miss
Sopcr asked that substitute be pro-
vided for her until she could return.
The Board refused to allow this to be
done as she asked and the substitute
will teach for the whole term Rev.
Macintosh was granted a leave of
absence for the term, but without pay.
c. f. Trueman was granted leave
OF absence for three months.
The Board accepted the resignation
Of M. j. Coursen of the Central Gram
mar School. The action of the Board
concerning the appointment of Mr..
Miller to the Kailua school was COLI
firmed. Thomas Aiu of Okana had
protested
The Board again took up considera-
ton of the application Of f. p Rose
Grams that he be paid for the i'm
provements to the buildings and
grounds of the Puunene school. The
matter had been referred to the At
torney General for an opinion. The
Attorney GENERAL replied that there
was no reason why the Board should
not pay Mr.. Rosecrans if it saw fit.
if the improvements were of a perma-
ncnt character. of course, they might
not be removed without the permis-
sion of the Board.

TRANSPORTATION AGITATION.

It is suggested that nothing will
be done in the Gilman steamship
proposition until it is thoroughly in
vestigated rn0I.' 10. .tE ,
We should hope so. f."
The attitude of Honolulu should
be one of readiness to go to the bot
tom of every steamship proposition
that is presented and gives promise
of first class accommodation for an
increasing passenger travel between
Honolulu and the Pacific Coast.
Hitherto the prevailing contention
of the Honolulu public has been that
for variety of reasons there is mo
use anyway" in discussing the mat
ter. Possibilities are turned down
by prejudiced What's the use?"
One has said that the sugar men
would never do anything to help the
retailer, and another that the retail
er is not well founded on what he is
talking about.
The Blu in contends that
transportation is the leading issue
before the people of these islands to-
day regardless of whether they are
sugar men or middle men. And every
proposal that has ghost of assur-
ance in it for improving the transport
tation situation, particularly the pas
senger traffic, should have the care
full, earnest and unrelenting atten-
ton of the business men of this city
in particular, and the islands in gen..
eral.
1t may be that the tourist business
is all buncomb, but this paper refuses
to believe it, and in so doing has the
support Of the progressive citizens of
the Territory. But without first
class transportation facilities and
cooperation of all interests, the de-
of consciousness will be
slow.
Constant agitation and many bus
mess minds at work seeking a solu-
ton that is practical will eventually
gain the object sought-the steam
ship or steamships and regularity of
schedule.
The advice of this paper to Mr..
Gilman and all others willing to
work in the good cause, is to keep
at it. y '''" r"

BL0CKADING BATTLESHIP FLEET.

Neither Honolulu nor the people
of the Pacific Coast need be surprised
at the strenuous effort made by our
fellow citizens of the Atlantic Coast
to prevent the sailing of the battle
ship fleet to these waters, or if it
comes here to secure it's speedy re-
turn to the Atlantic.
No doubt many of our friends on
the other side of the continent are
genuinely afraid that the presence
of a large and capable fighting fleet
en- the Pacific will act to raise tho
hair on the back of international
friends. We believe an equal If not
larger number oppose this entirely
proper and very necessary practice
lun and transfer of naval strength,
on. grounds of unadulterated selfish
ness. They don't want the fleet to
leave the Atlantic, because it is a
source of profit to them.
This latter class never show their
heads but there comes to mind a SEN
tence in Tom Watson's life of Jetfer
son which refers to letter written
by James Madison to Jefferson. 1t
reads as follows: HE might have
completed the picture by saying that
on the track of the ragged, hungry,
barefooted army commanded BY
Washington hung the vultures-the
spectators, the forestallers, the en-
bezzlers, who were robbing in every
possible way the Congress, the peo-
pie and the soldier"
The selfish interest of the Atlantic
Coast friends who profit by the pres
ence of the fleet may not be quite as
as the outfit that hung
on the trail of the continental army.
