Smith & Lewis, C. III. Olson and Cas-
tie & Wilmington, in the case of Fred
erick J. Lowrey and others against the
Territory of Hawaii-the Lahainaluna
case-have fled notice to Attorney
General Hemenway to produce, at 10
clock Monday, before the Supreme
Court, list of books and documents
nine sets in number, some of the items
including several documents. The first
item calls for the second volume of
the Foreign Register and the original
petition on the part of the American
Board of Missions for certain lands,
including Lahainaluna, on the Island
of Maui. This probably originated over
eighty wears ago. A letter of w. R..
Alexander and others dated April %,
IS49, and another of the same, dated
May s, 1849, to His Excelleney R.
Armstrong, Minister of Public Instruc-
ton, enclosing respectively a confess
sion of faith and an amended confes
sion of faith, are wanted. Reports of
the Board of Education from 1850 to

CASE OF SWEETS.
Judge De Bolt on Saturday granted the
motion of J. o. Lutted, doing business
as Honolulu Candy Co., to amend his
answer to the complaint of National
Candy Co. w. w. Thayer appeared
for plaintiff, and J. w. Cathcart and
F. w. Milverton for defendant. The
defense to the action is that goods were
improperly wrapped at factory in
Buffalo, N Y, so that they arrived in
damaged condition. Defendant sent
back goods representing $432. of the
more than $3.50 he had been charged in
the invoice, paying $21015 in freight
charges. This case was tried by jury
last year, the verdict splitting the
claim in half AS the verdict was not
in conformity with the instructions of
the court, Judge Robinson set it aside

APPEALS FROM TRIAL BOARD
NO POWER IN BIGAMY CASES
POLICEMAN CLAIMS.
Never Been Tried in Proper Court
and Wants Verdict Diminishing
Him Ignored.

Private Daniel Conner of the ninth
police precinct appeared before the Com
missioners in the boardroom at the Dis
trict building today and appealed from
the recent decision of the police trial
board, which held him guilty of bigamy
and recomme nded his Dismissal He Is
alleged to have married in Rockville re-
Gently, without having been divorced from
his first wife, who is still living
Attorney Rothschild, who represented
the accused policeman, in appealing to the
Commissioners, said that from the seri-
BUSINESS Of the charge agains this client
and because of its criminal nature he
should have first been tried in the proper
court of law or else indicted for his
offense
The attorney said the trial board pro-
ceeding was improper, and that it would
have been embarrassing and not in good
order for his client to testify before the
trial board knowing that the charge was
one that might require criminal action.
No defense was offered before the Com
missioners, and in concluding the appeal
Attorney Rothschild asked that they set
aside the verdict of the police trial board
and continue Conner on the force He
declared that If there is anything in the
charge it is one that should be considered
by the courts, and as no criminal action
has been preferred against Connor he
should be retained in his position until
at least the charges have been properly
proved.
Commissioner Mcfarland, who pre-
sided at the hearing. announced that the
Commissioners would take the matter
under consideration and announce a de-
cision later.

The association has been for some
time anxious to be placed upon the
Carnegie Foundation for teachers. In this
connection an address was delivered to-
of the Carnegie Foundation. In which he
stated that the attitude OF the founda-
ton toward the association was of the
most friendly character and that the
only thing. needed for a full under
standing between the two was a definite
SCOPE of its colleges and the exact rela-
ton that they bore to the general educa-
tional system of the United States.
Mr. Pritchett went into considerable de-
tail as to the information the Carnegie
Foundation wanted. and explained that
it was a matter of Indifference to them
as to Just what requirements were set up
for entrance. but that they wanted def
mite information as what these REQUIRE
ments were He explained that in visit
ing many of the agricultural institutions
ali over the country he had found that
their entrance requirements ranged all
the way from preparatory schools to the
highest requirements of the big eastern
universities.
He raised a laugh by saying that one
institution ne visited in the south re-

pressed their profound appreciation Of

German Employment Bureaus.
From the Detroit News.

From the Detfoit News
Over in Germany the free employment
bureaus are under the control of the
municipalities. They have there added
to their duties the task of getting the
man out of work transportation to his
new Job, and this seems to be the secret
of their remarkable success. This Is
done by agreement with the railroads.
The transportation companies take those
sent out by the employment bureaus at a
fourth-class rate-a fraction of a cent a
mile-so that the farmer who wants a
little extra help for a few days or a
manufacturer in an adjoining city with
an order to be filled quickly can be sup
piled with the needed help in short or
der.
The result Is that labor i'm Germany is
mobile 1t flows naturally to where II
is most needed, and the expense is so
slight that it Is worth an unemployed
mans while to take job outside of his
own city. even II 1t is to last only day
or two. When the exigency which Gre
! ated a demand for his labor has passed
he naturally gravitates back to his own
bailiwick at the same rate for transporta-
ton that took him away.

That New York is polyglot city is
impressed on an English speaking resi-
dent strongly when he takes a Sunday
walk through Central Park. Once around
the reservoir on bright Sunday will
bring to the ear as many tongues almost
as are heard at Ellis Island
In very strong majority is German,
with Italian next. Thereafter come the
Scandinavian tongues. with very few
French speaking people and almost no
Spanish.
The Chinese and Japanese are seen but
rarely in the park. Now and again a
pedestrian is lucky enough to hear the
Inde- Iranian and Slavic tongue. SO that
all in all it seems like taking a tour
through the language belts from the
north of Europe to the Mediterranean and
then through to the far east.
