Makes Her
Initial Trip
Steamer Mauna Kea Begins
Regular Run.

The Mauna Kea, the finest and
fastest steamer of the Inter-lsland
Steam Navigation Company, was
put on its regular run this week be
tween Honolulu and Hilo and way
ports.
II was a great time when the new
steamer, Captain Freeman, was
about to back from her wharf at the
foot of Nuuanu street at noon Tues
day.
Mauna Kea, the well-known
veteran Hawaiian cowboy placed a
bunch of lima leis on the head OF
the vessels stem, ran aft to the
social halIwhere he knelt and kiss
ed the hand of Queen Liliuokalani
and then jumped from the steam
ships side to the wharf.
All records for island steamers
were broken when it came to the
crowd.
There were 800 people ON and
about the wharf. Toward the end
the band played. Hundreds began
to swarm aboard about 10 O'Clock
two hours before the sailing, to take
a look at the fine new vessel. This
made it hot and heavy work for the
officers to get about the decks, but
all was good nature. The dear peo
pie must see the beautiful ship, be-
sides it was good advertisement
for the company.
Queen Liliuokalani was the star
passenger and was attended to the
Mauna Kea by retinue of retain
ers who heaped her with leis, adj
dressed her in true court style and
saw to her every comfort.
August Dreier, whose daughter,
Johanna, gave the ship its piano,
was a passenger, accompanied by
August, Jr.
L. S. Engineer Otwell took pas
sage on breakwater and lighthouse
business.
There were a number of contrac-
tors interested in Hilo breakwater
bids.
Mrs. J. .Aea accompanied the
queen. Auditor J. II. Fisher was
one of the departures. Mrs. c. J.
Robinson was another.
Tax Assessor w. 7. Robinson of
Wailuku was one of the returning
passengers. He completed his work
on the Board of Equalization just in
time to return home by the new
boat

Aiken and
Whiteside Win
Sawyer Tennis Tournament
Completed.

Monday afternoon, the 23rd, the
finals of the second tennis tourna-
ment for the Sawyer cups (men $
doubles) were finished at the Paia
courts after a hard-fought battle.
The contestants were Messrs.
Collins and Foster versus DR.. G..
S. Aiken and VIM. Whiteside
Aiken and Whiteside won (best
three out of five) by the following
scores which tell the story of the
contest; 60, 1912, ST, S-6, and
90.
The first three games were play
ed during Thursday afternoon, the
10Th, and the last two during,
Monday afternoon. The handicap
was against Collins and Foster and
an injury to the latter gentle
] mems Eye received in Mondays
games was also a disadvantage.
AS the cups must be won twice
by the same two players, this vic
tory will not count for Aiken in as
much as Whitesides is soon to de-
part for the mainland.
II is stated that besides White
side who is plantation carpenter
at Paia, two other old employees
of the NJ. A. Co.. Wilson, time
keeper for makuapoko and
Jameson, timekeeper at Paia, are
soon to leave the plantation and
the islands.
Governor Frear made fine I'M
preston among the residents Of
Makawao and among the people of
Maui generally. His power to re.
call faces of old acquaintances and
incidents of years ago was often
remarked, as was also his judicial
temperament. He was always of
fable but though frequently APP
preached concerning the indorse-
ment of A. n. Kepoikai for Circuit
Judge, he was entirely noncom-
initial.
Another question which the Gov
ernor is to decide is the appoint.
ment of Supervisor to fill out the
unexpired term of Mr.. Church who
will assume the duties of his posi-
tion with Alexander & Baldwin of
Honolulu the first of May. Among
the names presented to the Cover
nor were those of d. C. Lindsay
w. F. Pogue, both good men.
On Friday last, a party consist
ing of Rex Hitchcock, Manager
Munro of the Molokai Ranch, Sup
ervisor T. T. Meyer, all of Molakai,
and e. G. Smith of Pearl City made
a trip from Wailuku to the kappa
kalua winery and the Haiku pine
apple lands.
At the present moment the poll

decidedly murky aspect. However

Murderer Is
Turned Loose
All Indictments go Over
board.

As the result of a ruling of the
presiding Judge of the Second Cir
cult Court on Monday of this week
Higaki Ryosuke, charged with muir
der in the first degree was discharg-
ed from custody and all of the in
dictments found by the grand jury
go glimmering for the present at
least.
Higaki is the jap who, it is alleg-
ed committed y villainous crime on
the persoG Ola little japanese girl
who lived with her parents at Hama
and then brutally murdered her in
a cane field.
A true bill of Indictment was
found against him charging him
with murder in the first degree,
The case came up for hearing on
a demurrer to the indictment filed
by the defendants Attorney J. NJ.
Nivas. Attorney Nivas also filed a
plea in abatement and a motion to
quash.
The demurrer was over ruled and
the different counts in the motion
were taken up separately and con-
sidered
The third count in the motion to
quash was the one that caused the
upsetting of the work of the grand
jury and the turning loose of the
accused from Hama. This was as
follows:
Section 8. That said indict-
ment is not signed or endorsed by
the Attorney General of the Terri
tory of Hawaii or by any deputy
legally and duly qualified before the
above entitled Court and Term.
Attorney Vivas represented that
it was necessary to have a special
commission for the court in which
the dupty is to act otherwise he can
not legally appear as representing
the Attorney Generals department.
Judge Whitney, who is the first
deputy OF the Territory end las
been performing the duties of The
Attorney Geneaal in the various
courts for many months last hat a
commission as first deputy for The
Territory but as he is moi special
deputy he had no special commist
sion as was contended to be neces-
sary by the attorney for the defen-
dant.
The law covering the points at
issue are found in sections 1916,
1854 and 2S12-They are as follows.
Section 1916 the Attorney General
shall appear for the Territory per-
sonally or by deputy, in all the
courts of record of this Territory, in
all cases criminal or civil in which
the Territory may be interested, and
he shall in like manner appear in
the district courts when requested so
to do by the High Sheriff Of the
Territory or the Sheriff of any one
of the islands.
Indictment presented by defacto
Attorney General will not be quash
ed,
Section 1854. Deputies. He may
from time to time appoint a deputy
for any Judicial district, whensoevel
the eXigencies of the public service
may require it and shall be respon-
sible for all the acts of such deputy
or deputies,
Section 2S12. True bill by Grand
Jury. lnformations and indictment,
|, shall be duly prepared by a lega
prosecuting officer, and every indict
ment shall be duly found by granC
jury before the arraignment of tn,
accused, and when SO found shall
be endorsed a true bill and such in
dorsement shall be signed by tn,
foreman.

Union Labor Vote,

Hon. William II. Buchanan is one of
the leading union men of western New
York and in 1907 was the Democratic
candidate for assemblyman in Chau-
tauqua county. This is what he has to
say of the effort of Mr.. Gompers to
turn the labor vote over to Mr.. Bryan:
Il am a union labor man, and l want
to say further that no man can carry
the labor vote into the Democratic
camp. l know how union labor men
feel in this city, and three -fourths of
them will stand by the Republican
party because only in that way have
they the assurance of freedom from
the business disturbance that Mr.. Bry-
an promises for at least four years If
he can be elected. We workingmen
can't earn wages if statesmen are put
in Office to disturb business and make
trouble"

Things Bryan Would Forget.

The most important, because the
most curiously novel, feature of Mr..
Bryan's address is his apotheosis Of
the party platform. A new doctrine of
infallibility is embodied in these sen
fences at the very beginning of Mr..
Bryan's speech:
A platform Is binding as to what it
omits as well as to what it contains
A platform announces partys posi-
ton on the questions which are at is
sue, and an official is not at liberty TO
use the authority vested in him to urge
personal views which have not been
submitted to the voters for their ap-
proval.
1t is natural that Mr.. Bryan should
disavOw certain omitted issues" such
as free silver, government ownership
Of railroads, the initiative and referen-
dunn, attacks upon the courts and 9TH
er theories which at times he sanction
ed overhastily in the past. But he is
unfortunate in his manner of express
ing that disavowal
A party platform is not political
holy writ. The ,American people
choose for president a man, not a
clerk, to carry out the orders of a con-
vention committee. A platform is not
a prophetic code of conduct, but Il
summary of basic principles, to be al
tered, amended or enlarged according
to the country's needs.-Philadelph

DENIES THAT BRYAN
"COULD DO NO HARM" /"
President Is Infinitely More Powerful
Than Conoreas.

Congressman Burke Says Office Of
President Is Infinitely More Powerful
Than Congress.
Congressman James Francis Burke
of Pittsburg in an address on "The
Powers Of the President says:
1.-The American people can make no
greater mistake than to elect Mr.. Bry-
an on the assumption that he can do
no harm in the face Of an adverse SEN
ate. AS between the executive and
legislative departments of the govern
ment, the former has infinitely greater
power to rule and ruin than the latter.
"Mr. Taft and Mr.. Bryan are wholly
different types of men. Each pos
sesses strong individual cha1cter,
the White House. What either of
these men would do during four
years term in the White House is
causing as much anxiety among
thoughtful Americans as the mere
matter of the election alone.
LAS disturber of moneys the pres
ident is without rival in the world
Through the agencies under his con-
troll he will this year disburse billion
dollars, showing the great things we
are doing in adding to the unparalleled
list Of the worlds achievements.
I'm view of the fact that during the
fifteen years of Bryan leadership the
states controlled by his party have de-
creased from % to II. the number of
senators from 4S to 81, the number of
representatives in congress from 220
to 164 and In that time the Democratic
party was in control of the ground,
whereas it is now, as consequence of
his teachings, a hopelessly hetero-
geneous mass of Populistic elements,
the American people can see little pros
poets of a constructive policy if Mr..
Bryan should succeed"

"'Shall the people rule! is declared
by the Democratic platform and can
didate to be the overshadowing issue
now under discussion 1t is no issue.
Surely the people shall rule; surely the
people have ruled; surely the people do
rule" Thus Candidate Sherman re-
plies to Candidate Bryan, and if the
latter was looking for straight an
swer he certainly got it. But those
familiar with the mental processes of
Mr.. Bryan know that he would well
come no reply, but that his absurd
question was asked to instii doubt in
the minds of his more thoughtless fol-
lowers.

Taft's ReIiujon.

10 dispose of questions which should
not be asked us speedily as possible let
us say that Mr.. Taft is not Il Roman
Catholic. He is a member of the Uni
tartan church. That was the church of
his parents, ana he has never separat-
ed himself from it. His Wife, however,
Is an Episcopalian, and he worshps
more often beside her i'll her church

No words can be clearer tESA these

Taft's religious belief show simply the
extent to which his enemies have gone
to rouse some prejudice against him

selves further execrations from few

our prediction some months ago that
the campaign would end with the Den
