mistaken in their contention that the
trial courts ruling was that the
shipper Will not be permitted "a
avail himself OF the defense OF ignor-
ance, where ignorance Is the result
OF negligence or wilfull failure to re-
sort to sources of information which
are available.
The trial court could not secure
this rule, and, at the same time. ex-
clude the testimony OF Holland, the
Alton rate clerk. that he was OF the
opinion that six cents per hundred
pounds was the oil rate. The real
point Is:
did the trial court. In imposing
punishment, take into consideration
the relation between the Standard
OIL Company OF New Jer 'ey and the
Standard oil Company OF Indiana.
and did II base It's fine upon the
wealth OF the Standard oil Company
OF New Jersey2
Wealth Affected Fine.
THAT the enormous fine was In
fiicted on the defendant because of
the ownership OF It's stock by the
Standard on Company of New Jer-
sey and because OF the financial
standing OF the latter corporation Is
beyond dispute. when the entire opln
ion of the court Is read.
THE action OF the trial court, In
fixing a fine which this court holds TO
be an abuse OF discretion, Is defend
ed by counsel. Counsel can find no
authority 10 support that which the
court did, and which this court con-
demns as the fixing of such an un-
heard OF fine.
This court, having decided the
case pending before Il. and reversed
the decision OF the lower court, and
remanded the case for new trial. so
having made up its mind TO deter
mine the question involved, II is sub
mitted that the suggestion OF eerti-
fcation in the petition for rehearing,
as grounds thereof, Is not a proper
one to be either made or entertained

ANOTHER DAY Of LEGAL
ARGUMENT IN K0K| CASE

Very little testimony was heard in
the Koki case Wednesday The govern
ment having completed the introduce
ton of the books and papers of the
postoffice which it proposes to intro
duce, began to question Inspector Hare
, as to the alleged cutting of the NAH
bag. To this the defense objected. The
jury was excused until o'clock in the
afternoon, this being about IL O'clock
and at 2 the jury was excused until
this morning. The remainder of the
forenoon and the entire afternoon was
taken up with argument on this ques-
ton. The defense argued that in spite
of the claim that Koki by a System
had become short in his accounts, there
had been no evidence tending to show
that he was in financial straits SO as
to need to rob a mail bag in order
to get funds, and that evidence of cut
ting open a mail bag was not evil
dence of being in straitened finances;
and that to admit this testimony would
be an attempt to convict Koki of en-
bezzlement by evidence of mail rob-
berry,

CHINESE M|L|7|As May = =
Be ORGANIZED SOON

Great interest is being shown by the
young Chinese of Honolulu in the pro-
posed organization of a militia COM
pany, to be made up and Differed By
their own nationality.
Acting Governor Mott-Smith has not
yet had time to enter into the subject
fully, but he expresses his warm ap-
prevail and Col. Sam Johnson also gives
his endorsement to the undertaking
1t is understood that the Adjutant
General, J. Walter Jones, is holding his
opinion in reserve.
Acting Governor Mott-Smith Wiz
confer with the Adjutant General this
morning, when it is thought an agree
ment will be reached.
There are many fine, ablebodied
young men in Honolulu who would
make admirable soldiers and who wiz
learn rapidly if they have chance OF
such instruction as can be given them
They are most of them American cit
liens, a fact which is entitled to con-
sideration.
If the conference between the Acting
Governor and the Adjutant General
concludes favorably, the work of en-
listment and organization will begin at
once.

The southern prisoners came north worn

THE proposed inscription on the monu-
