THE Editor, The Honolulu Star,
Dear Sir:-I take much pleasure in
congratulating you on your evening pa
per, a copy of which l obtained this
evening. On the morning of Septem-
ber 10, 1907, the big Four" were un-
moored fro mthe docks and put to sea,
the last stretch of their trip around
the world, covering a cruise of over
10000 miles after partaking of the la
wish hospitality of the warm-hearted
people of Honolulu. The sweet strains
of the Native band on the dock and
the bands on board the ships recipro-
eating melody that touched the chords
of the heart Many of the boys then
on the ships have gone to their homes
with fond impressions of Honolulu.
There are a few of the old timers,
however, left yet on board, who little
thought then that they would be back
again to see you SO soon, and they
wish to greet you with your own now

In a decision written by Chief JUS
tice Hartwell, in the case of Territory
of Hawaii VS.. Blanche Martin, as well
as a concurring opinion by Justice
Ballou, the Supreme Court holds that
"the statute under which the defend
ant is held not appearing to be tncon-
sistent with any of the provisions of
States constitution the defendants ex-
ceptions are overruled." In other
words the Edmunds-Tucker Act OF
Congress of 1888 does not supereede or
set aside the laws of Hawaii dealing
with the same offenses.
Whitney, Hemenway and Milverton
of the Territorial and County depart
ments of justice appeared for the Ter
ritory, and Humphreys for the defen-
dant.
Chief Justice Hartwell says in part:
A large portion of the argument has
been devoted to the question of the
applicability of the Edmunds-Tucker
Act. the defendant and the county at
former insisting that the jurisdiction
under it is exclusive and the latter
that it is concurrent with that OF the
Territory, while the attorney general
contended that the act is inapplicable
since Hawaii had laws amply providing
against these offenses and did not have
the polygamous practices against Whlch
the Edmunds' Act and its amendments
made, as he claims, for its greater et-
fectiveness, were aimed; and it is sug-
gested that congress, in failing to give
territorial district magistrates and cir
cult courts jurisdiction over the act or
to provide for it's more effective en-
forcement by the federal court upon
other islands than that of Oahu, show
ed that it did not contemplate its ap-
pHcation. There is, perhaps, force IN
this contention. These offenses were
ordinarily tried by district magistrates
and often went no further. 1t may be
said that because the federal court is
not sufficiently equipped for the ad-
ministration of the Edmunds-Tucker
Act throughout the group or because
conditions do not appear to require
any other than the former laws of Ha-
waii on the subject is no reason to In
fer that congress did not intend to ap-
ply the act and that whether it was
appropriate or requisite was for Con-
gress alone to determine The appli-
cability to the Territory of Oklahoma

cial features in that case which may
distinguish it from the case at bar

SCHOONER HELD
FOR NEW CREW

The man who went to Kahului to go
second mate of the schooner Robert
Searles this morning in the S. S. Clau-
dine returned to Honolulu, declaring
that he would not sail with the crew
that was expected to man her, for five
Hawaiians who had never been to sea
had been sent to ship aboard, and they
didn't know a compass from a sauce
pan. He heard, as he left Kahului,
that the Hawaiians had also left the
ship and the report is that the Searles
is tied up for a crew.

BECKLEY'S
DENIAL
FORMER SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE
SAYS HE WAS WRONGLY INTER
PRETED YESTERDAY.

Il cannot believe that Fred Becllley
made the address as interpreted" said
John Hughes this morning, comment
ing upon the strange anti-haole speech
of Beckley as given yesterday in TIE
Star. Il am convinced that there was
a mistake in the Interpretation, for
know Beckley and have talked politics
with him."
Beckley himself this morning made
denial of the language attributed to
him, and at noon he made another ad-
dress at Bethel and King streets, which
was very different in tenor and on
which he was much congratulated by
friends. Beckley had announced his
intention to give the same speech in
English today that he gave yesterday
in Hawaiian and he had the biggest
audience that has gathered on the cor
ner for some days.
Beckley disclaimed party affiliations
He expressed himself as Of Republican
inclinations, but he didn't approve of
the present Territorial Republican
party He believed in picking out and
voting for the best candidates At
the same time, in expressing this view,
he told his audience to give no con
sideration at all to the race line.

of Hawaii in force whether the Federal
act was extended here or not. We are
of the opinion that under the Organic
Act those laws were continued and
therefore we do not pass upon the ap-
plicability of the Edmunds-Tucker Act.
That act has been enforced here since
the Organic Act took effect although
we believe mainly in cases of bigamy
and adultery arising on the Island of
Oahu and it would not only be useless
but inappropriate to pass upon the ju-
risdiction of the federal court under
it,
The case does not present the ques
ton which has been argued at con-
siderable lnegth of the power of the
territorial legislature to enact laws de-
fining in the same terms the offenses
named in the federal act and attaching
different penalties.
There is significance in the express
repeal in Section of a large number
of the penal laws of Hawaii which are
referred to by name as well as chapter
and section, as for instance, blasphemy,
vagrancy, fire arms. The attention of
congress could not fail to have been
directed to a subject so important as
the laws relating to the establishment
and preservation of the domestic re-
lations, the foundation of civic as well
as private virtue, as well as the basis

alienation of property and rights and
obligations of married persons and
their children. If congress had in
tended that laws directed to the en-
forcement of rules of decency and
morality should be repealed they un-
doubtedly would have been included
in the list of penal laws repealed. AS
