he got into some kind OF trouble with the French
police, which rendered his speedy departure from
Paris advisable. He next turned up at Berlin, where
he found means of getting into contact not only
with the great railroad king Strousberg and through
him with the Duke of Ratibor but also of becoming
quite intimate with Herbert Bismarck who in
troduced him to his father, the great Chancellor
and several occasions he figured among the guests
of the Prince in the palace of the Wilhelmstrasse.
Suddenly, when at the full zenith of his career at
Berlin his apartments in the palace of Count (now
Prince) Henckel Donnersmarck invaded

confiScated, and on the following morning
he conducted to the Austrian frontier under an
escort OF three detectives in plain clothes No ex-
planation vouchSafed. But from the peculiar
Bismarckan method of dealing with his case, it was
manifest that the old Chancellor had become ac-
quainted with the antecedents and identity OF his
sons crony.
He turned up in London in 1875, where he de-
scrbed himself the nephew of Baron Won Hoff-
man. who at that time held the post of Minister OF
Finance of the Austro- Hungarian Empire. 1t was
account of belief in the existence of this alto
gether mythical relationship that he was made an
honorary member of some of the best London clubs
where the liberality and sangfroid with which he
lost large at cards soon won for him host of
friends of the highest rank,-frlends who not only
invited him to their town houses and country
seats, but who even went SO far to furnish
him with letters of introduction and warm recon-
mendation to British diplomatic representatives
abroad.

At the Philadelphia Centennial
A T the time of the Centennial Exhibition of 1876,
almost simultaneously with the arrival of
Dom Pedro and his consort, there appeared on the
handsome and distinguished looking man,
who styled himself Baron Veszy, who declared that
he from Vienna, and that he had been appointed
by Emperor Francis Joseph to act as one OF the
delegates and commissioners OF the Austro- Hun
garian Government in Philadelphia. AS the creden-
t1alS which he showed were. OF the most uneXcep-
tiona character, and bore out all he said, he natu
rally received attention in all the hospitaties Of

guests of the United States.
He used the opportunities thus placed within his
reach to worm himself into the good graces OF the
Emperor and Empress of Brazil. He accompanied
them everywhere. dined repeatedly with the i'm

and finally, at her particular request decorated
by Dom Pedro with the Brazilian Order of the Rose.
He sailed with them for Europe, and it only
about three months later that the news came from

AN ANTI-GAMP
DECISION GIVEN
Andrade Sustains Ordinance of
County Against Jap
TenementS.

In sustaining County Ordinance II,
in the matter of restrictions on the
building of tenement camps within GER
tain distance of schools, Judge Andrade
qualified his decision by saying:
81 am going to sustain the ordinance
very much against my own judgment.
l do this because l think it is to the
best interest of all concerned to have
the question passed on by the highest
court of the Territory"
This is the ordinance passed few
weeks ago by the Board of Supervisors
generally restricting the building of
japanese camps near schools. The par
ticular case in which the decision was
given was the camp started on Pikoi
and Kinau streets opposite Kaahumanu
school, to the building of which Makiki
residents formed a club and made
strenuous objections both to the Board
of Supervisors and Sheriff Iaukea. The
workmen engaged on the structures
were arrested and further work pre-
vented. However, a few days ago three
more laborers were arrested for work
ing on the building.
Judge Andrade apparently regards
the ordinance as unconstitutional, and
his decision is merely pro forma judg-
ment in order that the question may be
passed up to the upper courts.
The defense, with Mr.. Peters as at
torney, in presenting its case to the
court, stated that the prosecution had
been. more in the light of persecution.
superintendent of Public Works Camp
bell had issued a building permit on
September A. The ordinance had been
passed September %, but the building
had been in course of construction
about three days then.
The Makiki residents are determined,
however, that the matter shall be pass
ed upon decisively. They are up in
arms against the encroachment of the
japanese camps, a nest of them being
already built in that section. They OBJ
ject to more, as it is injuring adjoining
property as residence spots for them
selves.
Among other matters coming up in
the police court was case of Attor-
ney T. Miller Harrison, charged with
malicious injury. There were two
charges, but one was nol-prossed, the
prosecution stating that it was under
stood full reparation had been made by
Harrison for the injury done. The
other case, however, was set over until
today, when possibly bond for good
behavior will be accepted in lieu of fur
Their prosecution. While willing to give
bond, yet Harrison did not want
confession of the truth of the allega-
tions to be spread upon the police
records. In order that he may think
over the opportunity to give bond in
lieu of prosecution the case was con-
tinued until this morning.
Francisco Cairo, Porto Rican, who
was recently discharged from prison,
was arrested Tuesday evening and is
charged with two separate counts for
assault and battery. He visited some
of his acquaintance in the Winston
block. Rough house ensued, and Cairo
was soon behind the bars. His cases
come up for trial this morning.

Judge De Bolt was engaged most Of
yesterday with the habeas corpus petit
tion of Mercedes Briggs by which she
seeks the custody of. a seven-year old
girl who has been cared for for the
past four years by Frank R. Harvey
and his daughter, and whom Mercedes
Briggs claims is her own daughter.
The Briggs woman has the appear
ance of a rather good looking Porto
Rican, although she is part Hawai-
ian. She testified that her child was
born November Is, 1901, and that it
was taken by Mrs. Mcclure, her aunt,
and given to a native woman named
Maikai, she, the mother, being an I'M
married woman. The expedient of plac-
ing the new born babe on a rubbish
heap to be found there by the woman
Maikai, was according to the Briggs
woman or her attorney, adopted as the
expedient for further protecting the
mother from public disgrace. The wo-
man, Maikai; kept the child until she
died and then gave it to a native couple
who in turn gave it to Frank r. Har-
vey. He and his daughter have cared
for the little one ever since, giving her
their own name and bringing her up
as one of their own family, and have
intended for a long time to legally
adopt the child.
James Mcclure testified that at the
time of the birth of child to Mercedes
Briggs, his mother told him about it.
Objection is made to giving the Gus
tody of the child to its alleged mother,
that she is a lewd and abandoned wo-
man unfit to have the care and custody
of a child. On this score a number
of witnesses were called to testify to
the bad reputation of the woman. Their
testimony was of hacks calling at all
hours of the night with men at the
house on Peterson lane where she lived,
until complaint from neighbors to the
police brought about her removal to
another locality.
The hearing of the case will continue
this morning.
