United States Court Assumes lar.
isdictiOn in Dispensary Matter.
STATE WILL APPEAL.
Lyon Suggests That the Judge Wait
Until Question of Jurisdiction Is
Settled Finally-Re Says He Has
No Intention of Provoking Conflict.
-Pritchard Declares He Has No
Doubt of His Accuracy.

It looks like the United States
Court will at last take a hand in
winding up the affairs of the old
State dispensary. At Asheville, N.
c., on Saturday the matter was again
brought up in that court on recent
order of Judge Pritchard's, signed on
motion of the Wilson Distilling Com
pany commission of South Carolina
to appear and show cause why re-
ceiver should not be appointed to
take charge of the sS00,000 funds
now in the hands of the commission
for the payment of the just liabilities
of the old dispensary.
Prior to the hearing of the Wilson
case Judge Pritchard informally re-
ferred to the regent hearing in the
matter of the Fleishmann Company
against the dispensa-y commission.
The compliments in this case also
applied for a receiver.
The application for receiver was
denied and argument had on the
question of jurisdiction, the court
reserving its decision. Saturday
morning Judge Pritchard stated that
he hadn't completed his fornl,l opin-
ion and decision, but that in view of
the coming on of the Wilson case he
thought it best to indicate what his
docicion would ba
The suit is not suit against the
State" said Judge Pritchard. Il have
considered carefully this whole mat
ter and had I any doubt would give
the defendants the benefit Of that
doubt and rule in favor Of the s ite.
/, There is no doubt in my mind, how
ever, and therefore the court takes
Jurisdiction.
Judge Pritchard said 1t was his
purpose to appoint two special mas
ters It is stated that these masters
will be named next Mo day, when the
defendants make formal answer.
The defendants announced that
they would appeal from the decision
of the court.
Attorney General Lyon in referring
to the determination of the State to ap-
peal suggested to the court in effect
that in order to avoid any unseemly
clash between the State and Federal
authorities that your honor refrain
from ordering any specific acts to- be
done until the question Of jurisdic-
tion is settled"
Judge Pritchard to this suggestion
made reply: "That this court is not
going to do anything to provoke a
conflict but at the same time the
court is going ahead and do its
duty"
Judge Pritchard said there was
no necessity or reason for a recur-
renee of the unfortunate incidents
which occurred in North Carolina
last year. He said that this court
is as much a South Carolina court
as any court and incidentally that it
is presided over by Southern man.
A hearing Of the receivorshlp pro-
ceedings will be held on Saturday.

POLICE COURT CASES.

Only eight cases were on the calen-

were disposed of quickly the majority
of them being continued until later
dates, Henry Kapae, young husky
boy, received 20 days for beating an
old Hawaiian. The complaining wit
ness did not want to press the charge
very much, but the fact that he had
received a rather severe cut on the
head made the court decide to punish
Henry for his brutality. Makila, one Of
the frequenters of the bars, received
a fine of 81 and costs for being drunk

EVENINGS

Promptly at one o'clock this after
noeSl the doors of the Drill Shed were
thrown open to the pubic to witness
the third annual show Of the Hawaii
an Poultry Association. Instead of the
music which is so common at all kinds
of exhibitions, the voices of several
hundred fowls vibrated with unmusical
sound announcing that the show was
open, and that the cocks and hens OF
Hawaii were ready to receive their
admiring friends.
Six long rows or coops stretching
the length of the shed, are the tenn
porary home for three days of the best
birds in the islands, while the Waikiki
and Eva sides of the hall are used for
the exhibits of the Hawaiian Agricul-
tural Experiment Station, and the
Board of Agriculture and Forestry. At
the mauka end of the hall the best
pigeons in the islands hold forth, while
the makai end is used for the tur-
keys, ducks and geese.
The collection of fowls, according to
Judge Andrews, compares very favor
ably with the same kind on the coast,
and in a number of cases are better

A single signal of distress which may
overdue Japanese S. S. Goto Maru,
pierced the darkness into which the
lookout aboard the United States Army
transport Buford every now and then
threw a glance on Monday evening
when the big vessel lacked less than
three hundred miles of making this

Two points off the port bow, slr!'
The officer on the bridge his hands
in his pockets, pulling refectively on
a Manila, strolled to the port end of
the bridge and peered in the direction
indicated. He could see nothing.
The lookout was relieved and called
aft. He explained that the light had
appeared to him like rocket. In fact
he was sure it was a rocket. He
thought it was signal of distress.
Passengers crowded to the weather
rail and peered into the gloom. They

it's reappearance-in vain. The word
was passed that other officers had

Captain Hall came to the bridge
and manipulated the telegraph. The

course and headed for where the look
out declared he had seen the light.
This was about $3.50 o'clock, ships
time, Monday evening. A heavy sea
was running from the northeast. The

flying bridge. She had to buck more

The question of the TerritoTy's
ownership of crown lands has again
been brought up. this time in the case
of the Territory VS.. Kapiolani Es-
tate. The case was tried before Judge
De Bolt this morning, Deputy Attor-
ney General w. L. Whitney repre-
senting the Territory and G. w. Ash
ford appearing for the Kapiolani Es-
tate, and judgment was given the
plaintiff. Appeal to the Supreme court
will be made.
The case in this particular instance
is one in which the Territory is suing
for possession of certain pieces of
rice land in Manoa Valley held under
lease by the Estate from person who
had rented it from the crown during
the time of the Monarchy. The con-
test is made on the grounds that the
property in question, as crown lands
do not rightfully belong to the Terri
tory, but to the heirs of the Kameha-
mehas. 1t is similar to the case tried
a few weeks ago in which the Terri
tory sued one Puahi for possession of
certain Crown lands in Waikiki, in
which judgment was given the Terri
tory and appeal made to the Supreme
Court. G. w. Ashford was attorney
also in this case, and announces his
intention of carrying it through to the
Supreme Court of the United States if
necessary.
The question is one of the most i'm
portant ones that has come up since
annexation. 1t is one which will test

An old sailor in town is willing to

so-called crown lands of the Territory
to be in the same class as other pub
lie lands and subject to the Territorial
The fact that very
large amount of some of the very best
lands in the islands comes under this
is inducement enough for
a big constitutional fight to be inau-
gurated. The Crown lands are lands
set apart by Kamehameha
III as his own private property as
from public lands of the
kingdom and kuleanas Kamehameha
V, however, by edict in 1868, declared
that all Crown lands not otherwise
of, should become a part of
the general lands of the Kingdom, as
such they have since been consider
ed, and as such Congress declared
them to be in framing the Organic
Act.
Should by any chance this portion
of the act be declared unconstitutional
the results would be very far reach
ing indeed In the first place the Ter
ritory has disposed of a good deal of
land which came under this class,
and which would make the Territory
much trouble. Then the question of
heirship from the Kamehamehas would
inv olive endless litigation. There are
hundreds of Hawaiians who would
probably have some claim of blood re
lationship, but who is nearest of kin
does not seem to be known, although
it is said that there are several To-
cal lawyers who are willing to furnish
some information on the subject in re-
turn for the proper retaining fee to
test the question
