The B9ooItsyiIle Argus. an ardent
supporter OF the Broward sdminissra,
ticn, correctly sums up the present
situation in Florida policies as fol
lows: -
II Ia an anomalous state OF az
fairs to have party to call itself
Democratic and yet have no way
provided for the people to express
their sentinsnts except through
the medium Of 6fiioe-hoIders and
offlce-seekers. Under present con-
ditiOns the people are only called
up TO decide between contestants
who shall hold the Offices. That
the masses may have views and
wishes TO express aside from their
choice Of ofiice-seekers does not
appear to have entered into the
minds OF thoSe who devised the
present system Of party manage;
ment. .i.4a.
The Apalachicola Times makes
the following pertinent comment upop
The Argus statement Of the case:
The Argus has not forgotten the

so much upon the pole that reach ,

becoming obsolete and the dollar

nocracy.

THE CEMETERY FENCE.

This can only be done through con-
tributiOns BY those interested In the

Association have labored earnestly to
make the cemetery selfsustaining, but
20 far they have been unable to &C.
complish the desired result. They
have finished paying of the debt for
what Is known as the new cemetery,
however and, through the kindness
of the City Council in approprIating
money to pay the sexton, have accum.

DEFENDANT DENIES
Any TRUST CAPACITY

The answer of Lena Grace Rose
warns to the bill of complaint of Alex
ander Lazarus, against herself and
Maria C. Andrade, was fled yesterday
afternoon In the bill Lazarus sought
to have the defendants declared trus-
tees of certain property real and per-
sonal which he had conveyed to Lena
Grace Rosewarne, by way of trust and
confidence for his use, as he alleges.
The answer denies any such trust
or confidence, and alleges that the con-
veyances to her were bona fde con-
vevances for valuable consideration,
free from any trust. Some of the con
veyances grew out of the fact, it is
alleged, that Lazarus wife was suing
him for divorce and that negotiations
were in progress between them as to
alimony that should be allowed If
decree were granted. Mrs Lazarus, it
is stated, insisted on cash, and at least
a thousand dollars of it, and it was to
raise this money that the property was
conveyed.

THE ANA MALTA
MAUNA kEA CASE
Supreme Court to Pass on
the Procedure Under
Segregation.

In the Supreme Court the case of
Ana Malta Mauna Kea has been sub
mitted on briefs. This is a case in
volving the method of procedure I'M
der the segregation laws. The statute
provides that suspect may nominate
an examining physician and the Board
of Health another. If they can not
agree, then they shah select a third,
and the decision of any two of these
shall control.
In the present case Ana Malta Ma
the Board of Health, DR.. Mcdonald.
DR.. Atcherley pronounced the woman a
leper, but refused to say that she was
capable of spreading the disease. He
refused, however, to join in the selec-
ton of third physician. The woman
was therefore asked to nominate an
other physician and she nominated DIR.
McLennan. A new examination was
thereupon made by DR.. McLennan and
DIR. Mcdonald. DR.. McLennan not be-
ing certain that the woman was
leper third physician was chosen, DR..
Another examination was
made and all three physicians Joined
in the finding that the woman was a
leper.
The present proceeding is by habeas
corpus to secure the woman s release
on the ground that the proceedings
were irregular and not conformable to
law in that it is claimed the nom!na-
ton of DR.. McLennan was irregular
and all subsequent proceedings conse
quently so.
In the brief which was prepared by |
Acting Attorney General Whitney
the ground is taken that even if the |
are irregular the woman
can not be released because the ques-
ton of whether she is leper or not |
IS not an open one, that being the
decision of all the physicians who ex.
lmined her and being admitted by the
Dleadings.
The brief takes the position that a
person convicted of crime can not Sc
cure release by habeas corpus by prov
ng himself innocent of the crime, but
,nly by showing irregularity in the
conviction. In the present case, how
,ver, the woman would undoubtedly be
entitled. to her liberty if she could
how that she is not a leper. There
,ore being admitted leper she can
lot be released merely by showing ir
in the proceedings, if there
vas irregularity, the whole purpose Of
he proceeding being to determine
whether or not leprosy exists.

A Cane Contract Suit.

G. limo has brought suit in the Cir
cult Court against the Hutchinson Su-
gar Plantation Company for $4,000
damages. In his petition he sets out
that he and his partner who has since
assigned his interest to him, made a
contract for the cultivation of seven
teen acres and half of cane land, the
plantation, however, was to cut, trans
port and grind the cane. 1t is alleged
that the cane was ready to be cut and
ground in February of which fact the
plantation had notice, but instead OF
cutting and grinding it then it was
not cut and ground until November by
which time it had been ravaged by the
rats and had otherwise so deteriorated
as to be practically worthless. When
the company finally did cut and grind
the cane, it is alleged, hat it failed
and has ever since refused to make an
accounting to the plaintiff

ANSWER IN THE
NAILUKU CASE
Territory Denies EnCroaChment
on Sugar Company
Rights.

Answers were fled yesterday on be-
half of Superintendent of Public Works
Marston Campbell and Superintendent
of the Wailuku Waterworks, w. E.
Bal, in the suit of the Waikiki Sugar
Company against these two and the
Territory, to enjoin the use of water
from the Waikiki and lao valley
streams by the Waikiki Waterworks
The answers admit much of the I'M
contrOverted matter contained in the
bill, but they deny the charge of en-
croachment on the water rights of the
plantation, but insist that the intake
pipe now is of exactly the same size
as it was at the time the waterwOrks
were first established, and that every
thing that has been done by the water
works has been done with the full
knowledge of the plantation people and
without any protest on their part until
lately. In Superintendent Campbell s
answer the following is alleged:
"And this defendant says that said
Wailuku and Kahului Waterworks
was erected and is maintained solely
for the purpose of distributing water
to owners of land and persons living
within the ahupuaa of Wailuku; that
said Waikiki stream or river and all
streams of water in said lao valley and
the water therein running, except such
rs is now running in watercourses
which individL&ls have made for their
own use, is free to all owners of land
and people in said ahupuaa of Wal.
uku.'
The answer closes with a denial that
he sugar company has been injured, |
1ut alleges that it has reaped substan
ial benefits from the Wailuku water !
works because since its establishment
many bitches which led water to land
having right to the water have been |
losed up and abandoned so that not /
% much water is diverted from the
tream as was formerly the case and
renee the plantation has more than it
ormerly had.

Wealth Of Hokkaido Island.

Wealth Of Hokkaido Island.
The Island Of Hokkaido is one Of
Japan's most valuable properties. Its
mineral production largely coal in.
creased from $1.2S0,000 in 1896 to
nearly 100000 in 1907, and this is
with only very small part OF It's min.

named the leading minerals are coal,
sulphur, gold. silver and manganese.
The coal Is superior to that Of other
districts in Japan. Many ships from
the Pacific coast OF the United States
call at the port Of Muroran for coal.
This is the foundation for the great
Muroran iron and steel industry, now
being formed by British and Japanese
capitalists. In four mine, in this To-
