JAPANESE LEPERS
SUBSCRIPTIONS
A FUND WITH WHICH TO SEND
THE AFFLICTED TO THEIR OWN
COUNTRY.

1t is reported that the local Japanese
are raising a fund for having Japanese
lepers at the settlement of which
there are about a dozen, sent back to
Japan. 1t is understood that the
Japanese government has consented to
receive it's subjects thus afflicted and
that Governor Frear has given his
sanction to their removal.
President PinkEam, of the Board of
Health stated this morning that he had
not been officially notified that the
Japanese government was willing to
take the patients but presumed that
it is so. The matter, he said, came up
some eight months ago when COM
mittee of local Japanese called on him
about the matter President Pinkham
at that time advised them that the
proper course to pursue was to have
their own government apply to the

THE PAINT FOR
YACHT HAWAII

ITO pharaphrase Josh Billings: 1t is
better not to say SO much, than to say
so much than amt So said Homo
lulu man today in discussing the yacht
Hawaii.
The attempt to use the yacht Ha-
wall as medium for advertising a
particular brand of paint in a paper OF
the 4th brings up the rumOr that the
committee had been approached with
an offer Of a large sum for the use OF
the side of the yacht as a bill board
on which could be painted an immense
vegetable largely used by a delicates-
sen manufacturer.
There is of course no truth in this
report as is the case with many other
things. The facts regarding the paint
ing of the Hawaii are that the work
was done by a painter personally in
terested in yachting who charged MOTH
ing for the labor As he wished to
do the best possible job, he selected
the best paint and yarnish he could
find for the purpose which was bought
by the committee, although no doubt
other goods could have been had for
less or even for nothing as an adyer-
| tisement.
AS a matter Of fact the materials
came from Fuller's Pacific coast estaD-
lishment without any solicitation from
that firm"

law passed Two years ago.
Upon tu.s defense tine big trunk line
railroads OF the country the packing
houses and tine Standard oil Company
have been hoping eventually to escape
the fines imposed upon them by the
courts.
Even the S29OOO00O rebate fine
Judge Lands imposed on the Standard
Oil Company is regarded as having
been deciued as legal and binding UNI
der the decision of The court today.
The important cases now before the
Supreme Court that are regarded as
coming under the scope of this deci-
sion and as having been practically de-
cided legally by it are thes:
/ The $29,OOO,OOO rebate fine imposed
by Judge Lands in Chicago on the
| Standard Oil Company
The $4,000 fine against the Great
Northern Railroad Company for grant
ing rebates. This was the case at is

The fine against the Chicago & Alton
Railroad for granting rebates to pack

The fine against the vice president
and general freight agent of the Chi
cago & Alton Railroad for granting re-
bates to packing houses.
The fine against the Cudahy Packing
House for accepting rebates on mate
rial for export.
The fine against the Chicago, Bur-
lington &, Quincy Railroad for grant
ing rebates to the Cudahy Packing
| House.
This decision is considered as the
greatest victory the Department of
Justice has won in its fight against
corporations. AS practically all the
! accusations Tor rebating have been
brought under the Elkins act, and not
under the Hepburn law of June 30,
I 1906, on the decision of the Supreme
Court hung the success or failure of
all the work that has been done by
the Acknowledgement to punish rebat-
ing.
| The Government desired particular
ly to escape the criticism of having re-
pealed a law that had been tried and
found effective for one that had not
been tried, and whose effectiveness
was questioned.
The opinion of the court as to the
status of the rebate laws was given in
the appeal of the Great Northern Rail
road Company from the judgment of
the United States Circuit Court of APP
peals for the English circuit.

railway $4,000 for granting rebates
Oo the w. p Dpyoreluy Company at
Minneapolis Mimi For the purpose
of this suit counsel for the Great
Northern admitted the rebates ON
grain shipped by the Minneapolis COM
puuy from Minneapolis to Seattle.
It s.aked everything ON the claim
chat the EIhius aot under which it
had been indicted had been repealed
and that therefore it could not be
punished for an act made Illegal under
"a law that was no longer on the stat
ute bookss
Attorneys for the Great Northern
cited section 10 of the Hepburn law as
granting immunity to rebaters who
had not been caught i'm their tricks at
the time the Hepburn law was passed.
That section reads:
That all laws and parts of laws in
conflict with the provisions of this act
are hereby repealed but the amend
ments herein provided for shall not
affect causes now pending I'm courts of
the United States, but such causes
shall be prosecuted to a final conclu-
sion in the manner heretofore provid-
ed by law"
eve contend that It clearly appears
from section 10 of the Hepburn act
that Congress intended to and did re-
init penalties incurred under the FL
liins act, prior to June 20, 1906. for
which prosecutions were not pending
on that date" said counsel for the
company, in presenting the case to the
Supreme Court.
Counsel for the Standard Oil Com
pany came into court on the plea that
the same points were involved in the
$29,OO0,0OO fine pending in the lower
court. They asked to be allowed to
submit brief in amicus curiae. This
privilege was granted. While admit
ting to the court that this was the
principal ground of their objection to
the big fine, they stated that other
points were involved
The Government contended that the
concluding position of section 10 of
the Hepburn was intended by Congress
to preserve existing methods of pro-
cedure with respect to causes pending
in courts of the United States at the
time of the passage of the act and it
should not be construed as extinguish-
ing penalties and liabilities which had
accrued under the old law, but were
not then before the courts for judicial
determination.
The court decided that the corpora
lions were grasping at a straw to save
themselves from punishment. The de-
cisiOn of the court was announced in
an opinion by Justice White, and in
his conclusions every member of the
bench concurred. There was not dis
senting vote

A certain reaction in his favor set In.
II they did not love him, they held him
In sincere respect. If he meant to fight,

Baroness Dobrava's name, too, was
