THAT 20 ct.
DAMAGE SUIT
Is It the Value of Prince De
Sagan's Honor or of Boni's
Capacity to Pay If Court
So DEGREES?
Special to The Journal.


Paris, Jan. 1S.-All Paris Is await
ing with suppressed merriment the
outcome of the suit brought by Prince
Helie de Sagan against Count Boni
de CasteIlane, his cousin, in which he
seeks to recover one franc, or 20
cents, as damages because of the al
legged "unproyoked assault commit
ted by Boni on the Prince.
The action is set for hearing on
Tuesday next and will undoubtedly
attract hundreds of the nobility and
social elect of France to the court
room. While the principals assei
that the quarrel arose over purely
personal matter, popular rumor has
it that Boni and his cousin fought
over Nine. Anna Gould, the divorced
wife of the former.
It is an open secret that Count
Boni is seeking to regain the af
fections, and, incidentally, the fortune
of his former wife. In this endeavor
he had a rival in Prince de Sagan,
the absolute cousin CT the count,
who is so VIGOROUSLY immoral that
he has become a stencil in the nos
trils of even Partisan society. Sew
eral times De Sagan has been re-

these rumors have been denied, it is
crtain that the prince has appeared
very devoted to Nine. Gould, and
. that the affection he has openly dis
played for the fair Anna is appar-
emily reciprocated.
The physical encounter between
Count Boni and Prince Helie occur
red in the Church of ST. Pierre lie
Chailott. Struck and pumelled by
Count Boni and his brother, Count
Jean de Castellane, Prince de Sagan,
with the blood streaming from sever
al cuts in his face, ran from tie
church into the street, where he was
pursued by the de Castellanes until
the gendarmes interfered to save
Prince Helie from further punish
ment.
! De Sagan was confined to his bed
J for several days, but has now fully
recovered from his experience, and
is determined to be revenged upon
, his cousin Boni by means of the suit
for one franc damages. 1t is the
gossip of the boulevards that De
Sagan shows both wit and judgment
in making the amount no larger
since 20 cents is supposed to fairly
represent the present financial assets
of Count BOni. Several prominent
Icounselors have been engaged to lep
resent Prince Helie and Count Bon

BEARD SPEAKS
IN OCALA
Eloquent Pensacolian Assists
in Anti-Saloon Fight
There.

Hon. John s. Beard has BEEN in
Marion county the past week helping
the dry people in their anti-saloon
fight there, and he seems to have had
some very large and enthusiastic au-
diences. Concerning one of his meet
sngs the Ocala Star says:
Beard In OcaIa.
The distinguished citizen, attorney
and senator from Eseambia county,
and a candidate for the United
states senate, in his Introductory re-
marks, said that the executive COM
mittee of the Marion County Anti-Sa-
loon Ieague had done him the honor,
after hearing his address in the court
house at the coming out convention
last November, to request him TO
sneak for them during the wet or
dry campaign. He accepted their Of
fer, but no reply came from them.
He wrote again and still silence on
heir part. He then began to fear
that because he did not turn down
his glass at the banquet at the Ocala
House the night of the convention that
the league thought he was inconsis-
+ant and not a sure 'nough water
wagon" advocate, but he wanted to
saw right here that he couldn't turn
down his glass, because it was loaded
with q cocktail, and he just turned
II over to his friend, Col. Bob Nc
Nance. Great laughter1.
Senator Beard was in bad voice
from wretched cold contracted in
the sleeper en- route for Ocala. He,
however, made a good, logical speech,
delivered with eloquence and effect.
He argued for temperance under
three heads: Personal Liberty,
Prohibition Doesn't Prohibit" and
Prohibition Hurts Business" The
shrieking for personal liberty on the
part of the wet side was deluSiOn,
and a snare, because their very bust
ness, while legaliZed, was hedged
around with safeguards and protect
i've measures. All our liberties were
restrained and held in check by law
for the protection of society. PRO
hibition doesn't prohibit" of course
It doesn't, and there wasn't a law on the
statute books against murder, arson
theft, seduction, forgery, ETC., which
prohibited. But a prohibition Law
with good public sentiment behinC
It, was as prohibitory as any law eve
enacted by man. What prohibition
meant to him and every Other
thoughtful and sensible man was tn

If the finding represented his view
as to the guilt of the defendant.
AS the clerk read off the names,
the jurors in turn answered his Ques-

Case on Its Merits.
The charge against Walsh grew
out Of the closing in 1905 CT the chi
cage National Bank, Of which Walsh
was president, and it's allied institu-
tons, the Homes Savings Bank and
The Equitable Trust Co Walsh was
accused of having leaned funds Of
these institutions, aggregating some
$4,000, coo. On fictitious and insafhc-
iently secured notes to nearly score
of struggling enterprises which he
himself had founded and practically
owned.
Many of the notes, it developed at
the trial, were signed without author
ity in the names Of various employees
of Walsh. The directors of the bank
testified that they were not consulted
by Walsh as to the making Of these
4oans and that they knew nothing Oh
Them. Tweaty-six CT the notes were
described as memorandum notes,
and they formed one Of the cher
features OF the trial. They repre-
scented more than S2,000,000.

PINKHAM
ENDORSED
BUSINESS LEADERS OF HONOLULU
UNANIMOUSLY VOTE IN FAVOR
OF HIS DISAPPOINTMENT.

President Plnkham of the Board of
Health was endorsed for reappoint-
ment by a unanimous vote yesterday
at the meeting held by the trustees OF
the Chamber of Commerce ana Mer-
chants Association. President Nor
gan will appoint a committee of three
to notify Governor Frear of this ac-
ton.
The meeting was very well attend
ed, there being but one or two alb
sentees and these being out of the city.
One after the other the members of the
executive committees of the two bodies
rose and spoke in words of the highest
praise of the fine work which had been
done by the president of the Board OF
Health. The last to speak was b. f.
Dillingham;, who on account of his IN
innate relations with Pinkham's worst
enemy was expected to be against the
president of the Board of Health. This
was a mistaken idea, however, as he
also endorsed Pinkham, though in
somewhat more guarded terms than
the others had.
The meeting was opened by short
address from President j. F. Morgan OF
the Chamber of Commerce, who pre-
sided with President G. w. Smith, of
the Merchants Association, seated at
his right. He stated that the meeting
had been called on account of a con-
versation which he had with Mr.. Smith
few days before in which Smith had
asked him if it would not be best to
take some action to show the appre-
citation of Mr.. Pinkham's work by the
commercial bodies of the city. He
stated that the meeting had not been
called at the instance of Pinkham, as
had been rumored by some of the lat
ter's enemies, and advised in consid-
ering the matter that the broad view
of the subject and not the petty at.
tacks which had been made on him re.
Gently in the press should be consid
cred.
G. w. Smith stated that he had spok
en- to President Morgan about calling {
meeting after the idea had been sug
gested to him by one of the Merchants
Association trustees. He called atten
ton to Pinkham's good work for the
commercial interests and how he haC

gus and Robertson all spoke along the
same lines, advocating the endorse
ment of Pinkham and giving the same
general reasons as the previous speak
ers. L. Tenney Peck created little
laughter by first speaking in the high
est terms of Pinkham and then eX-
pressing the hope that when he had re-
ceived the reappointment he would
leave the affairs of the Rapid Transit
Company alone and would confine him
self to his work as president Of the
Board of Health
b. F.. Dillingham; was the last speak
err He told Of knowing Pinkham ever
since he came to Hawaii. He said that
he regarded him as a man with pecu-
liarities and with whom he did not
agree in every particular, but added
that he had often said that he thought
him, if not the ablest man, one of the
ablest men in his position he had ever
known. Mr. Dillingham; went on to
say:
IF all the charges which have re-
Gently been made against President
Pinkham should be proved absolutely
true, | should think it undesirable to
give him another appointment. But
these charges have not been proven.
To tell the truth l do not know where
in this Territory we could find anoth-
err man as good in the position as Mr..
Pinkham. AS to his dipping into dip
lomatic matters, if he does so | do
not think he should retain this post, to
involve us in war"
II. p. Wood was then called on and
added his encomiums, after which the
motion of endorsement was made by
G. w. Smith, seconded by Messrs
Cooke and Waldron and carried unani-
mously.

TO SEND MESSAGE
ON LABOR LAWS

WASHINGTON March 20-As the
result of an extended discussion of
the necessity of again directing the
attention of Congress to the recon-
mendations of the President, looking
to legislation amendatory to the Sher-
man antitrust law and of other topics
mentioned in his previous messages,
decision has been reached to send
another message to Congress within
a day or two.
1t is said at the White House that
the message has not been written,
and that it is not probable that it
will be sent to Congress before the
introduction of the Civic Federation
bills by Representative Hepburn.
No explanation whatever can be
had from any official source for pub
| LEGATION respecting the reasons which
have brought about the decision to
send the message, after it had been
announced that there was no inten-
ton to send a message to Congress
at present. 1t is believed, however,
that the cause is to be found in the
stimulation OF public interest by the
very active propaganda instituted by
the labor element and the pressure
brought to bear by that element di.
rectly upon the Administration and
| upon Congress by the labor chiefs

sacrificed his own time and money il
| the work. He then read a letter from
the Coyne Furniture Company and j
Hopp & Co., stating that seeing by the
| Star that there was a meeting to be
| held to consider endorsing Pinkham
they wished to add a word in his favor
A wireless from the Hilo Board OF
Trade and the Shippers Wharf Com
mittee of that city was read endorsing
Pinkham Mr. Smith also stated that
he had been accosted by many, includ-
ing a clergyman of the Catholic church,
all of whom were in favor of retain
ing Pinkham.
J. p. Cooke was then called on and
stated that he believed in giving Pink
ham an endorsement on the broad
ground of his honest and clean record
as an official He stated that he be-
lieved most thoroughly in giving sup
port to a man who had done mis- work
in such excellent style.
E. I. Spalding spoke at some length
and with a good deal of bitterness He
said in part:
81 certainly concur with Mr.. Cookies
remarks and hope that those present
at this meeting will not allow them
selves to be sidetracked by the minor
matters which have appeared N the
press. 1t is a matter of immense i'm
portance to Honolulu to have an open
port and clean city and this has been
brought about under Mr.. Pinkham's
BILE and efficient official and when a
satisfactory man for a position like
this has been found, do not believe
in making any change.
"As to the filth that our press de-
lights in publishing every now and
again, regardless of it's fitness for pub
LEGATION, l believe that these attacks
are unfair, unjust, cowardly and sour
rilous and are animated by personal
and political motives"
Fred Macfarlane proceeded to go in
to the Iwilei matter, though endorsing
Pinkham strongly. He stated that
should that matter be agitated much
mE4S, It might mean that the Govern
ment would not send the fleet here at
all. He commented on the fact that
French, German and English ships OF
war had been here without the talk OF
closing the town, and considered it
strange that this should be done when
American ships were coming.
e. D. Tenney was strong in favor OF
Pinkham, advancing his effective work
in keeping the port open and his CO.
operation with the Federal quarantine
officials as reasons. He was followed
by Robert Cation, who stated that he
/ agreed with all Mr.. Tenney had said
and advanced as another reason the
fact chat the Advertiser was so ter
ribly down on him"

TAFT AND THE PHILIPPINES

San Francisco Chronicle, Marih 81
CeditoriaD:
We do not doubt that a great part
of the popularity of Secretary Taft il
this State and on this coast is due to
the interest which he has taken in do
ing commercial justice to the Filipinos.
1t is true that he cannot advocate free
trade between this country and the Phi
lippines any more strongly and earn
estly than President Roosevelt has adj
vocated it, but he can do it more per-
sistently. With Secretary Taft as Pre-
sident, therefore, there will be an as
surance of this executive pressure for
four years, and probably eight years,
and it is probable that the sugar trust
and the tobacco trust-and there are
no other opponents of commercial JUS
tice to the Filipinos-will not always
dominate Congress.
We do not suppose that 1t is alleged
anywhere that there is a more stalwart
protectionist than the Chronicle. We
rejoice, however, that we are logical
in our protectionist views. We would
extend the benefits of protection to al!
parts of the world over which the Anne
rican flag floats as an emblem Of
sovereignty, and within those limits
there should be absolute free trade.
Those living beyond those limits should
trade with us on absolutely impartial
terms
If it was just and sound statesman
ship to freely admit Hawaii and Porto
Rico to our markets, 1T is equally just
and statesmanlike to give free access
to the products of the Philippines.
There is positively not one argument
