MOTION TO QUASH.
Will Be the Next Move of the Defense
in Tortner Case.

ST. Louis, Dec. 20.-The case of NJ
Dwight Fortnel, the former real estate
broker who was arrested in Paris last
summer on a charge of forging the en-
dorsement on a $4,000 check, was
called for trial again today. Twice
before the defense has obtained con-
tinuance. FORMER, who came to st.
Louis as hotel clerk, became known
several years ago by marrying a
daughter Of A. H Handlan.
His wife's sister recently won a di-
vorce suit against William J. Lemp, jr
Because CT the prominence of his
wife's family and of the men involved
in the real estate deal in which the
check figured, the case has attracted
considerable attention here. FORMERS
arrest came after detectives had traced
him to New Orleans and Panama and
thence to Paris. His funds were near
~ exhausted wnen he was taken at the
French capital.
The defense announced that its first
act would be motion to quash the in
dictment. If this fails another con-
tinuance may be asked.

other state. We have secured some re-
lief and We will secure more.
There is going to be a complete
comparative analysis made of the rates
in this and other states. When We get
figures down in black and white and
show the determinations made against
Kansas every day, there will be such
united demand for a revision that
the railroads will be forced to deal
fairly with the state"
John Dawson's idea of the railroads
of the state may be gained from his
view of the Missouri Pacific the much
abused and long suffering Pacific, ex-
pressed to the officials of that road
themselves as follows:
1.-THE Missouri Pacific consolidation
and financial program perfected last
summer and now in progress of ac-
com plishment has the official approval
of the Kansas board of railroad COM
and has the official and
personal approval of myself. and there
will be no interference with those
plans by the state of Kansas. All
rumors or press paragraphs to the
contrary are irresponsible gossip, aris-
ing from popular Impotence to Sc
cure some promised and much need
ed improvements on certain lines in
Kansas which were assimilated by the
Missouri Pacific Railway company last
summer.
1.-The Missouri Pacific covers the most
fertile and prosperous sections of Kan
sas, and Kansas people would pro-
foundly regret if any gossip which has
drifted to the east should interrupt
the progress of the company's program
outlined and approved by the Kansas
commissioners last summer. If
this assurance can be made more posi-
tive by saying that the writer is the
author of the Kansas receivership law
of 1909. and. so far as railroad affairs
are concerned occupies the same Off
cial position usually held by the attor-
ney general in other states, 1 have no
You can say also that I thoroughly
believe that the success of the Missouri
Pacific financial and consolidation pro-
gram of 1909 will make it as good and
as profitable property as the Union
Pacific and the Santa Fe."

ambitious commercial club has decid-
ed the factory should locate.

has been credited with this always
fascinating secret is out of town, how

developments with interest. If the an
Inouncement should be scheduled for
the return of the attractive girl with
her parents, the news might still be an
item of the Lenten season, for the par

much speculation about the probable
announcement. The close friends Of
the two families say that there is not
the slightest excuse for the persistent
.rumor.-S. F. Call, March 81.

tries to get as large a collection as
possible of United States currency.

WILL Be CHECK
ON LABORERS

Road Supervisor Wilson has adopted
new scheme of regulating the days
work of his teamsters, which, while
bound to be unpopular with them, is
certain to result in the accomplishment
of considerable more in the run of
eight hours.
For many years the practice has
been to figure the day as beginning
when the teamster arrived at the
stables in the morning, and as ending
when he left the stables in the after
noon. Wilson has changed all this
and figures the day as beginning. and
ending at the quarry. Thus the hour
it has been taking to reach the quarry
in the morning and the hour to get
back in the afternoon are not counted
in the eight hours necessary to make
up a days work.
1t is estimated that one team hauls
load of macadam an hour Thus, in
the extra two hours in question, fifty
teams would deliver one hundred more
loads of material upon the roads in a
day-a considerable item, surely.
The Transfers claim, however, that
the new arrangement imposes ten
hours work a day upon them, they
holding that taking the teams to and
from the quarries is work, just as
hauling rock is work. Wilson asks,
in reply, how it would be were the
stables located at the quarry, so that
they would turn to and quit there, pay
ing carfare part of the way and walk
ing out there and back every day.
In order to ensure eight hours of
actual work the road supervisor has
also supplied each driver with time
ticket and each luna with a different
puncher. Thus, the times of the
transfers arrival and departure from
the quarry are recorded, as well as
the time of his delivery of each load
to the luna on the road.
How the system will work out re-
mains to be seen. There is already
murmuring among the teamsters-
about fifty of them. Wilson stoutly
maintains, however, that under the
system the men actually worked only
five nd half to six hours a day. He
wants the full eight hours.

APRIL FOOLS
NOT SCARCE

The time-honored feast of All Fools
was excellently well celebrated in Ho-
nolulu yesterday and all the custom
airy honors together with a few fresh
ones were done
Hotel street was a veritable bon
ANA of nickels to which the business
end of tack had been soldered and
the coin nailed to the floor,
At Scullys place the casual refresh
er would notice a note on the cash
requesting him to ring up number 573
on the phone He would HE him to
the phone and presently discover that
he was connected with the lunatic
asylum.
Charlie Lambert filled his cut glass
bottle of bar whisky with cold tea
Land handed the same freely and i'm
partially to customers.
One of the best jokes going was that
of the thread and spool. A man meet
ing a friend on the street would no
tice a white thread on the latter's
coat and with a remark on the untidi-
ness of some mOrtals would proceed
to remove it, The thread was attach
ed to a spool concealed in an inside
pocket, and had been run through the
coat. The result was that the puller
could have carried the offending
thread fifty yards and still have been
connected with the perpetrator of the
joke.
There were divers and sundry lesser
jokes such as the soap chocolate and
the plug hat with the brick in it but
one and all appeared to be well pat
ronized and the stock of April fools
seemed to be plentiful and strong on
the wing

an appearance at the start.
Frank Scharsch set the pace for a
long way in the race to Haleiwa but
finished in the rear owing to miscal-
culation of pace.
1t only needs the entries of Walsh
German and Feagler to make most
representative field. Their names are
likely to be found on the list before
noon tomorrow.
The sale of tickets commences next
Saturday at the Hawaii News CO..

there will be a brisk demand for choice

The owner of Hurst wants a three.

Waldo j., and Parnell, owners to drive
This would mean that Julian Monsar-
rat would pilot the white Ghost, "
that Felix Brughelli would be behind

FIGHT CARD
LOOKS GOOD

Everything is in readiness for the
boxing show at the Orpheum tomor-
row night and it looks as if great
evenings sport were in store for local
.ring-goers.
Thirty rounds of boxing are sche-
duled to be pulled off and it is safe
to say that the principals in the vari-
GUS bouts will furnish as much action
and excitement as the high-priced pugs
usually do. Every man on the card
is a fryer and every one of the half
dozen bouts should be closely con-
tested.
The favorites for the different bouts
appear to be Nelson, Marlowe, Jack
son, Henley, Stanley and Platt That
this combination will go through,
however, is a hundred to one shot.
1t would be a pretty proposition to
make a book on.
Interest centers round the eight
round go between Silva and Nelson
and the six-round affray between Mar
lowe and Wahilani Both these bouts
should be hummers from the tap of
| ne gong.
Promoter Cohen has certainly ar
ranged a very attractive looking card
and a full house will undoubtedly re-
ward his efforts.

HEPBURN KILLED
POSTAL BANK BILL
THE IDAHO SENATOR FILBUsrE RED
ERs-NvITED THE CONDEMN ALTON OF RESIDENTS OF RURAL
COMMUNITIES TowNs-PRoFEssING AT THE SAME
TINE FAVOR POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS

Especial Correspondence of The Starr
WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator
Hepburn of Idaho is the man who kill
ed the postal savings bank bill in the
recent session of Congress. He. ana
he alone, is entitled to the credit or
blame Tor THIS accomplishment, ac-
cording to the viewpoint OF the
individual. By killing the bill,
which he did by persistent
.filibuster, he earned the thanks of
many bankers who have been opposing
the measure in a quiet, unObserved
way. But, at the same time he invit-
ed the condemnation OF the residents
of rural communities and small towns,
who have long clamored for such a
bank as was guarantee them by the re-
publican platform adopted at chicago.
Senator Heyburn's filibuster against
the postal savings bank bill was
long, and obdurate. The strange part
of his opposition was the fact that
while opposing the bill which had
been framed by special committee or
commission representing both branch
es of Congress, be declared, time and
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1909-04-02

again, that he was in favor of "a"
postal savings back law, but never
would he disclose the character of bill
be favored, nor would he offer amend
ments to the pending bill, to make it
conform to his ideas. His declaration
that he favored a postal savings bank
bill, was therefore nothing but bun
combe. Had he honestly favored such
bill, he would have introduced one,
and urged its passage, or he would
have suggested changes in the pend
ing bill He did neither, but made a
prolonged, obstinate and successful
fight. He was opposed to the whole
scheme, and his long-distance speech
es did the work. Such a filibuster
can not succeed in a long session OF
congress, when no time for adjourn
ment is agreed upon, and the friends
of a postal savings bank will renew
their efforts early in the regular ses-
sion next December, and wear out Sen
ator Hepburn and other Senators dis
posed to filibuster. Hepburn can't talk
continuously for six months, even
against a savings bank bill.
