Frightened by Bedslat.

The wonan's scream aroused her son.
The boys appearance IN the room did
not frighten the negro, who persisted in
his efforts 10 open the window. Taking
a slat from the bed, che boy started for
the window, intending to fight II the
negro attacked his mother and sister
This. apparently, frightened the man, as
he ran out of the alley. Neighbors were
summoned TO the house and the Ana
costa police notified.
A search was instituted for the negro,
and several men who live in the neigh
borhood spent the rest of the night in
the hunt
The police were at first inclined to
believe that Mrs. yost had been dream
ing, and that there had really been no
attempt 70 break into the house, but
the other members of the family cor
TOhOrated her story.

Robert, Mrs. Yost's SON. who drove
the man away, is a modest boy, and
does not think that he Gid anything that
any other boy would not do under the
circumstances. The neIghDOr5 say he

DECISION
REVERSAL OF JUDGE DOLE IN
MERRIAM CASE CONCERNS LAND
OWNERS IN GENERAL.

The text of the decision in the Unit
ed States Court of Appeals of Califor-
MIA in the suit of the United States vs..
Merriam has reache this city and
should be of interest to practically
every landowner in the city. The con-
tentions of the government are up
held all through and as the result,
when the deeds for the Mahuka site
were filed yesterday with the Registrar
of Conveyances, blue prints were at
tached and accepted in that office.
In the local court Judge Dole held
in the first place that he had no juris-
diction and, then, that in any event the
Territorial law covered the matter and
that blue prints could not be filed.
The Court of Appeals holds, revers-
ing Judge Doles decision, that maps
attached to deeds do not have to com
ply with the act passed by the Terri
torial Legislature in 1905, on the
ground that it was evidently aimed at
maps where subdivisions were plated
In regard to- the other question in
which Judge Dole held that he had no
jurisdiction to issue a writ of man
damus, the higher court also held with
the United States against Merriam.

BATTLEsHIPs MAINE AND ALABAMA CONSTITUTING SPECIAL
SQUADRON ADVANCE ATLANTIC FLEET ARRIVE IN Ho
NoLULU AFTER A PAssAGE-THB MONSTERS EASILY
GLIDE INTO DoCKs-AN OFFICIAL GREETING GIVEN

Giving Honolulu foretaste of the
armada that is to glorify these waters
and stir the Territory next month, the
battleships Maine and Alabama, con-
stituting a special squadron to precede
the great battleship fleet on a giant
stride about the earth after five thou
sand leagues already from Hampton
Roads, showed themselves off Koko
Head this morning, swinging around
Diamond Head about s O'Clock and
getting off the harbor thirty minutes
later.
The Maine and the Alabama Captain
Giles b. HARDER of the Maine com
handing the squs dron and Captain Ten
Eyck d. w. Veeder commanding the
Alabama, sailed from San Francisco
early in the morning of June 3, Mon
day last, and made it down together,
without unpleasant incident of any ma
ture, at an eleven-knot gait.
Beautiful and strong they looked, as
born to rule the wave, and spick anu
span and slick and grand, aud power
full and brave.
A considerable section of the town
turned out to see them enter the har-
Dor and the wharves and esplanade
were lined with all nationalities repre-
scented here, workmen and the wealthy,
stevedores and Federal and Territorial
,,,tnr,nhi1pg nd h1gl.e
rayed themselves along the curves,
backing respectfully across the ROAD
to make way for the gallant corps OF
marines which hot-footed it to the
Alakea street wharf to line up to re-
ceive each vessel as she slid to moor
ings, the Maine on the Eva side and
the Alabama on the Waikiki side OF
the Alakea street wharf which is get
ting 60 be called the new Navy wharf,
unofficially, of course.
Berger and the Hawaiian band turn
ed out in good time and gained admit
lance to the wharf, while Claudius Nc
Bride Governor Frears secretary, was
conspicuous with brown derby and
suit. of Frisco cut, cigar and frequent
authoritative wave of the hand, direc,-
ing the band and some other things,
generally making himself useful and
helping the ceremonies of reception go
off with that ease which is so dear to
officials and so impressive to the null
titude.
Looming and graceful, as battleships
count grace, the Maine was the first to
enter and she slipped to her berth
easily and neatly, taking the center of
the slip like a geometrical proposition
and then being quickly warped to the
wharf.
Armed sentries meanwhile kept back
the eager throng, lest line should
part or bit of gear carry away to the
possible injury of some too curious
and perhaps careless rubberer.
The Marines presented arms, the
band played and the warship Rugged
the wharf.

NO VERDICT As YET

The jury in the Kold trial reported
that they had not reached a verdict
this morning, but that they stiIl had a
chance to do So 1t is understood that
the vote stood eight to four, but which
way seemed uncertain, one rumor say
ing that it was for conviction and an
other for acquittal.
The foreman stated that ne thought
a verdict could be reached during the
morning, but none had been presented
up to 8 p. m. In case of a disagree
ment the same charge of emDezzlement
will probably be taken up again early
in the September term of court.
