WHITE PLAINS. n. Y, April 17.-Su-
preme Court Justice Morscauser yester-
day rebuked William L. Rumsey, lawyer.
for misleading him into granting a stay
of all proceedings in the suit brought
through Corporation Counsel Frank L.
Young of Ossining against the Westchester
Traction Company for the forfeiture of It's
franchise. On March % an order was
issued overruling the demurrer of the cor
poration and directing the company to
answer the complaint within twenty days.
Mr.. Young said that the time for answer
ing was up, and that instead of filing an
answer Mr.. Rumsey had Judge Morscauser
sign the stay Of proceedings. Addressing
Mr. Rumsey, the court said: II am going
to vacate this stay. You stated to me that
1t simply stayed a money judgment, and
you made a similar statement to the clerk
of the court. The court should not be i'm
posed upon by members of the bar by such
deception" Mr. Rumsey then withdrew the
stay.

the ATTACK ON
THE LIQUOR Law
TEST CASE ARGUMENT CONFLICT
ED YESTERDAY AFTERNOON IN
THE SUPREME COURT.

The test case of the constitutionality
of the new liquor law under the title
of the Territory VS.. Jacintho Miguel,
which was argued in the Supreme
Court yesterday, was completed and
submitted about 2:3O o'clock yesterday
afternoon, and the Court adjourned
until Monday morning.
The attack on the constitutionality
of the act under which the License
Commission had refused to issue Mi
guel, a Kakaako saloonkeeper a Ii
cense, was made by T. M. Harrison. ".
G. Peters defended the act in strong
argument and opinion differs as to
what the decision of the court will be.
The decision will be watched Tor
with a good deal of interest and anx-
iety, as in the event of the laws being
declared invalid, the whole license sys-
tenn put into force in the Territory
since the first of July last, will col
lapse, and it would probably be neces-
sary to call a special session of the
Legislature to straighten out the tan
gle that would result.

HILO WHARF ITEM
IS TURNED DOWN
GOVERNOR FREAR CUTS $4,000
OUT OF PROPOSED LOAN
CAMPBELL STARTS.

Hilo will not get its new wharf for
which the last Legislature authorized
the issuing of Territorial bonds to the
amount of $4,000. Also the amount
for the improvement of the water
works at Kamuela, Hawaii, was cut
down one third, making it $1,000 in
stead of $1,000.
These cuts were not entirely unex-
pected by those who have been watch
ing the preparations for the bond is
sue, though some expected that there
would be even more than this omit
ted Governor Frear, however, declin-
ed to make known his intentions in
the matter until everything had been
fixed up yesterday afternoon, and
Treasurer Campbell fairly on his mis-
sion. This silence on the part of Gov
ernor was probably good policy on his
part for certain interests concerned
in the Hilo harbor improvement would
have been apt to have set up lively
protest hal it been known before hand
that this item was to be omitted.
For the most part, however, the
loan will be negotiated exactly as
was intended by the Legislature. The
S3OS,5 has been cut down to $685.
600, which provides undiminished for
all the important projects contemplat-
ed. OF the amount to be realized,
$4,000 is set aside for the Nuuanu
Dam work while $4,000 will provide
for various new school buildings in
various parts of the Territory. This
in each instance is the amount appro-
priated by the Legislature, as is also
the $4,000 to be raised for building
a two-story shed over the new gov
eminent wharf in Honolulu harbor
The other $1,000 of the amount is for
the Kamuela water works.
Governor Frear gives as his reason
for not issuing bonds for the Hilo
wharf, that the Federal harbor i'm
provements which are to be commenc-
ed there soon may have the effect of
making the wharf not desirable or
wrongly located The $500 was cut
off at Kamuela water works amount
for the reason that 1t was believed
that $1,000 would be sufficient for the
purpose. Besides as the bonds are to
be issued in denominations of $1,000
each it would be necessary to elimi-
nate the odd $500 somewhere,

The LOngworths have gone, and the
emotions which their departure occa-

interesting to observe by indications
which chance remarks give. The recep-
ton on Wednesday evening to over
two hundred Honolulu citizens has UNI
doubtedly left a lot Of soreness among
many persons who were not asked, but
felt that they should have been. 1t is
stated by those who were in close touch
with the Presidents daughter and her
Congressman husband, and are sup
posed to have had something to do
with making up the list of the fam
Gus 1.-TWO Hundred" that the invita-
lions were issued to those persons in
Honolulu whom the Longworths has
met since their arrival, and those who
had called on them or had entertained

that some mistakes were made which
1t will take long time to be forgotten.
