NO RIGHT TO HOLD MONEY
Justice Barnard Holds that the

Dispute over the substatiOn-

Justice Barnard. Of the District Supreme
Court. yesterday decided that the Com
nissioners must sign the certificate su-
thorizing the Secretary Of the Treasury
TO pay S1.566065 to the Philadelphia, Bal
tinaore and Washington Railroad
The court directed that a writ Of man
damus be Issued compelling the District
authorities TO sign the certificate
This action is the outcome OF a suit fled
several weeks ago by the railroad. after
a number OF attempts had been made to
obtain the signatures OF the three Com
n.issioners on the certificate stating that
It had completed its part Of the contract
the construction Of the new terminal
through Attorneys MeKenney and Elan
merry, the company instituted mandamus
proceedings. and a hearing was held on
Thursday.
Commissioner Macfarland was upheld
BY Commissioner West In his contention
that the company had not completed its
contract. Commissioner West maintained
that in accordance with the act OF Con-
gress authorizing the erection Of the
Union Station the money should not be
paid because the station was not ready
for occupancy.
Substatfon Not Ready.
Their objection was based on the fact
that a sUbstation provided for IN the orig

Corporation Counsel E. II Thomas. II
presenting arguments in defense OF the
Commissioners Thursday. advanced the
plea that the Commissioners had acted
as a board throughout the proceedings.
and their actions could not be subjected
to a review by the court.
Attorney McKenney. IN answering the
defense. asserted that his client had made
several offers 10 construct the subsJation
building and the necessary approaches.
but each time were held up by the Com
missfoners who wanted the substation

the place originally contemplated
Refusal Unjustihed.
IN giving his opinion yesterday. Justice
Barnard reviewed the claims Of the Com
missioners and OF the railroad company
and said In reference 10 the argument
advanced by Mr.. Thomas that the Dis
trict authorities had judicial authority.
ord is whether the station and connect
ing lines are ready for occupancy They
are ready or they are not II ready,
then the Commissioners would have no

After overrUling the contention made
by the corporation counsel that the com
pany could seek redress in The Court ef

opinion as follows

SETTLEMENT ASSO'NS
ARE NOT APPROVED

HILO, Hawaii. July 1.-THE Ter
ritorial Land Office seems to have set
its face against the settlement-asso-
citation method of acquiring public
lands. Several such associations
have been formed during the past
year for the purpose of taking up
valuable cane lands. the leases to
which held by plantations have eX-
PRED.
The Palau Settlement Association
applied for the Hakalau-iki lands, a
tract of about 800 acres, which has
already been cultivated by the plan
tation. Another association has APP
piled for the Kamaoa-Pueo lands in
Kau. AS result of discussions be-
tween the Governor and other Off
cials, both associations have been
notified that the Government Is will
ing to open these lands for individ-
ual locations hut not for settlement
associations; and also that the lands
will be put up under the new form of
SptCitl dbittUltul SAVE, tlt ipi III VI
which will be published soon.
Another settlement association fl
ed bill for an injunction some time
ago in the local courts to prevent the
Commissioner from making a new
lease of the lands they wanted to the
plantation which had leased them
previously. The lease proved to have
been renewed before the injunction
could issue, and 1t has accordingly
been refused. An amicable adjust
ment is likely to be reached In the
matter, however. The chief objection
to the settlement association idea
seems to have been In the fact that
many of the members would drop out
in some cases after the tract had been
secured, and fail to fulfill their obi
cations.

TOOK THEIR MATES ON TRIAL
one-Year Marriages Once Common
Thing in Scotland.

They who talk glibly of short-term
marriages and afiinities do not know
that in Scotland one-year marriage
termed handfasting was once legal
and fairly common. 1t was abandoned
on account of its injustice to the wo-
man.
Scott, in The Monastery" mentions
this one-year marriage, making Sir
Julian Avenal say:
we take our wives, like our horses,
upon trial When we are handfasted
as we term it, we are man and wife for
a year and day; that space gone by,
each may choose another mate, or at
their pleasure, may call the priest to
marry them for life"
There was no disgrace attached to
handfasting. 1t was, indeed, more
often practiced among the great than
the lowly. But the poor girl whose
trial husband rejected her at the
years end rarely found it possible to
secure permanent mate.

Simple Remedy for Lockiaw.

Cal Johnson, an oldtime printer,
was in the city recently and claims to
have simple and effective cure for
lockjaw, one that never fails. Re
Numbering his boyhood days when the
rusty nail was always lying in wait
for the barefoot boy and serving as a
menace to all who attempted to pass
the summer months without shoes on
their feet, Mr. Johnson thinks that his
advice may be of some use to the ia
theirs and mothers who still have bare
foot boys.
The remedy is to smoke the wound
caused by the rusty nail or other inn
plement of torture to the small boy,
with wooden cloth. Twenty minutes
with this kind of treatment, it is said,
will take out the worst case of in
flammation and cause a speedy heal
ing of the wound without disagreeable
results.-Kansas City Journal
