A CHILD UPSETS
PROBATE OF WILL

1t ism 7 often that the announcement
of birth comes through legal papers
filed in court. But in that way came
the announcement of the birth in Scot.
land, a month ago, of Richard James
Low, posthumous son and heir of the
late james A. Low formerly of Homo.
lulu, who died in Vladivostok, January
6, 1908.
The coming of this little heir into
the world has also upset a whole lot
of legal proceedings in connection with
the estate of his father. The young
ster's aunt, Lillian B. Matson, wife of
Captain Matson and sister of the late
James A. Low, yesterday filed in the
Circuit Court petition asking for let
ters of administration on the estate of
her brother. She states that Low died
in Vladivostok leaving a will of which
she was appointed the executrix, and
which was admitted to probate. She
says that the will was made while her
brother was a bachelor. He afterwards
married, and a son was born of the
marriage, for neither of which con-
tingencies did the will provide. She
therefore asks for letters of admins.
tration on the estate. This consists of
land at Waialua worth $4,000; land at
Kona worth $500; 1000 shares of the
Honolulu Plantation Company worth
$4,000; 400 share of Makaha Coffee
Company worth $4,000 and SO shares
of the EVA Bottling Works worth
$1,000; total of $1O4,160.
The next of kin of the deceased are
Richard James Low, aged one month
residing in Scotland; Barbara Low
widow, residing in Scotland; Emmf
Meyer, mother, and Lillian B. Matson
sister, both residing in California.

THE SHOTGUN IS USED
IN RAT CAMPAIGN

said DR.. Currie yesterday, "is now av-
eraging more rats per week in proper
ton to its size than any other city in
the United States. We are now aver
aging one thousand rats week-actual
rats killed and gathered and disposed
of. OF course there are cities where a
great many more than this number are
captured but they are great deal big
ger cities and do not get as many in
proportion to the size of the place as
Honolulu is getting today.
"In addition to trapping rats and
catching them by other devices, we are
now using shotgun. We have one man
who uses the shotgun and in addition to
his work in setting traps and other
things he has been averaging about
twenty-five rats day with his shotgun
in the Punahou district. This is an
experiment but so far it is working
very successfully"
The Hawaiian gazette., 1908-09-08

Rat shooting is the latest develop
ment of the rat campaign which is be-
ing conducted by DIR. Donald Currie of
the United States Marine Hospital Ser
vice.
A shotgun service has been instituted
and is proving very effective. 1t is di-
rected in particular against the arboreal
or tree rat, and in the quest of this
game, with this arm, the rat nests are
sought primarily. These tree rats build
nest in the trees that at casual
glance is not greatly different from a
birds nest, except, perhaps, that it is
bigger. When the rat hunter finds one
of these nests he fires away at it with
his shotgun, sometimes killing six or
eight at a shot. Yesterday in Kalihi
over hundred rats were shot as one
days bag by one man who has great
many other things to do.

HON. O. LULU.

News-Letter-A prominent merchanW
of Honolulu, who has been stopping
over in San Francisco for a few days.
preparatory to returning to the Islands,
told me a particularly good story on
himself in the lobby of the Fairmont
the other evening. While in WashinaH.
ton, d. c., recently, he had occasid
to purchase new trunk to carry sona
curios he had picked up, and according
ly picked out one in leading trunk
shop of the city of statesmen, request1
ing that his initials and place of resi7'
dence be painted upon the end. So he
left card, upon which he had jotted
down the inscription which he desired
placed on it, as follows: "K. L. G.
Honolulu
In due course, the trunk was delivt
cred to the travellers hotel, and thp
surprise of the owner may perhaps y
better imagined than described whel
he read what the sign painter had DOM
with his little paint brush. For somt
occult reason the initials of the nama
were overlooked, and this is the cogno->
men as the painter had it. in the bold
est of characters: "Hon. o. Lulu. ;"
The owner of the trunk is happily
possessed of sense of humOr, and he
let it stay as it was. / saw it the
other night. and can bear witness to
the fact. There is no question in my
mind now but that everyone is an
"Hon.' in Washington.

INNOCENCE CLEAR
BEYOND DOUBT

An unusual scene took place in the
United States District Court yesterday
afternoon. The prosecuting officer for
the United States made statement to
the jury that the evidence had clearly
shown the innocence of the defendants
and that they were unqualifedly en-.
titled to an acquittal.
The case was that Of the United
States against Higiri and Kiku Kane.
sige, indicted under the Edmunds Act.
The case was prosecuted by Deputy
United States District Attorney Raw
lins. The defendants were defended
by Z. NJ. Watson. The witnesses who
appeared before the grand jury made
out a case which satisfied the grand
jurors that the defendants ought to
be put on their trial, and the trial was
begun on Tuesday. But on the trial,
some of the witnesses failed to be as
positive in their statements as they
were before the grand jury. But more
particularly Mr.. Watson showed in evi.
dence that it was an utter impossible
ity that the charge as made could be
true.
When the testimony in behalf of the
United States was all in Watson NOV.
ed for a directed verdict of acquittal
An adjournment was then taken until
the afternoon. At the afternoon ses.
sion Mr.. Rawlins not only agreed to
a directed verdict but stated to the
jury his belief that the defendants
were entitled to such verdict.
Judge Dole in directing the verdict
expressed very strongly his satisfaction
at such an issue of the case under the
testimony. He said that it was un-
fortunately the case that sometimes
persons through malice charged others
with offenses under this act, making
complaints to the United States Attor-
ney, complaints of which he was bound
to take cognizance. These malicious
persons were sometimes able to present
to the grand jury a seemingly prima
facie case. But the United States,
though the plaintiff in all criminal
cases, had no interest in the conviction
of anyone but the guilty, and therefore
it was entirely proper for and credit.
able to the representative of the Uni
ted States, that in such cases as this,
where the evidence showed the limo.
cence and not the guilt of the defend
ants, that he should join in the request
for a directed verdict of not guilty.
The jury were very ready indeed to
return the directed verdict, and thus
the case was one of those rare ones
where court, jury, litigants, and attor,
neys for both sides are agreed and high,
ly satisfied with the verdict.
