LONG ARM Of
YOUR UNCLE SAM
Sends Man Pic to Prison After
He Had Escaped for
Three Years.

Man Pho was yesterday morning sem
fenced by Judge Dole to serve six
months in prison at hard labor, and to
pay the costs of court.
Man Pho is an elderly Chinaman who
was convicted of receiving stolen prop
erty of the United States. He kept a
store on the other side of this islands.
The postmaster's little brother stole
postage stamps from the postoffice and
exchanged them for cakes at the de-
PENDANTS store. The evidence showed
that the Chinaman got them for a
grossly inadequate consideration, and
there was some evidence tending to
show that after the first transaction
he urged the child to steal more
stamps.
Man Pho was indicted about three
years ago. but warned, as the Federal
officials believe. by George Kekauoha,
he eluded arrest until lately. His con-
viction is looked on as likely to he a
most salutary lesson to the Asiatics
and natives on the other side of the
island.
When asked if he had anything to
say why sentence should not be pro-
nounced upon him, Man Pho. through
the interpreter, replied that he had not.
But no sooner had Judge Dole sentenc-
ed him than he wanted to speak He
asked if he would be put in a United
States prison or in the Territorial
prison. and urged that he was an old
man and not able to do hard work and
he hoped that hard labor would not
be imposed on him. Judge Dole told
him that while he would be placed in
the Territorial prison, he would be I'M
der the supervision of United States
officials. AS to the labor required of
him he was assured that no cruelty
would be inflicted on him, but that
work suitable for his strength would
be found.
In sentencing him, Judge Dole stated
that the most serious part of the
offense was the encouragement that
had been given by the defendant to
a mere child to commit a crime.

SEWER CHARGES
ARE ENFORCB|LE
Suit Brought Against Campbell
Estate Won by the
Territory.

An agreement with the Superintend-
nual sewer rates as may be fixed, is
an enforceable contract. Such was the
doctrine, in effect, stated by the Su-
preme Court in an opinion filed yes
terday morning in the case of the Ter
ritory of Hawaii, by C. S. Holloway,
Superintendent of Public Works v.
Cecil Brown, executor and Abigail
Campbell-Parker, executrix, of the last
will and testament of James Campbell,
deceased.
The origin of the case is almost an
cient history. The action was brought
by a predecessor of Holloway to en-
force a contract made by his predeces-
cember, 1906, to recover the sum of
$133.50 and interest from June 80, 1904,
for sewer rates from December 81, 1902,
charged the James Campbell Estate
for the use of the public sewer on
Queen street in connection with the
Campbell block.
In March, 1901, Cecil Brown, as execu-
tor of CampbelPs will applied to J. A.
McCandless, then Superintendent of
Public works, for permission to con-
meet the building with the sewer. Per-
mission was given him to make the
connection, he agreeing to pay such
rate annually for the use of the sewer
as should be fixed. The rate was af-
forwards fixed at $89 annually
The issues raised by the pleadings
in the case are whether the superin-
tendent had authority to fix the rate,
or his legal capacity to sue, and wheth-
er the court had jurisdiction.
The court holds that the contract is
an enforceable one, and overrules the
demurrer which was sustained in the
Circuit Court.
BRIEF FOR POTTIE.
A brief was filed yesterday in the
Supreme Court by A. S. Humphreys on
behalf of DR.. John Fl. ,Pottie who is

When Leap Y.aro End,

In 1882. in the arrangement of tho Julian calendar, ten days were drop ped so as to get things running on the then new but the present basis of cal culating time. So as to keep things running right it was determined that q year ending century should not be bisextile. except every fourth century Thus there was no leap gear in l7OO. 1890 or 1900. It is. or at least was. rather rough on the ladies. who have special advantages in leap year; but. though there will not be many of those who saw 1900 whc will see 20OO. the latter year, endiyg fourth century. will be leap year. In this way three days are retrenched in four centuries. and Inc remaining seven days will be made I'D in little over 500 years. After that calendar years will be like solar years, and future errors in the calculation of time will occur no more The loss of leap year will in thousands of years affect the seasons, but sup. pose the mathematicians of the centu. ries hence will be so flip in handling figures and making calculations that they will have no difficulty in keeping things going correctly.-Exchange
