Some of these are used, but put in perfect

from being so long in stock; some entirely
new, but blemished somewhat by the holiday
handling, and others entirely new at regular

Among the used pianos are many of the
very best that we have ever been able to

exchange for player-pianos, and at one-half

Also, in class by themselves, are some

ceedings and a test ease as to which
set OF committees, the Mayors or the
Supervisors, shall be honored or shall
be paid.
Today there are in the hands of the
Mayor all the salary and expense de-
mands which have so far been passed
and ordered paid by the majority OF
the Board of Supervisors, for his coun-
tersignature, and all the Mayor has so
far done in the matter of counters.gr>
ing is to make note on the general SAL
airy and expense appropriation bill in
troduced by Supervisor Logan, that
such bill was vetoed by the mayor
which veto the six Republicans of the
Supervisors overrode.
Now it is said to be up to the Mayor
to countersign each individual pay or
expense demand included in the Logan
general salary and expense bill, before
the Auditor can issue warrants.
Mayor Fern stated this morning that
he had them under consideration and
that he did not know whether he would
act today or later.
There is to be meeting of the Board
of Supervisors at 1880 o'clock this
evening and at that time the fight may
take some shape, though at present 1t
is uncertain whether there will be any
institution of court proceedings before
it is announced by the Mayor whether
or not he will countersign the salary
and expense demands.
The matter of mandamusing the Ma
yor, to compel him, if possible to coun-
tersign salary and expense demands,
has been discussed by the six Repub-
lican members of the Board Of Super
visors, but another move is apparent
today and that is to the effect of wait
ing until the game gets to the Auditors
office, and leaving 1t for some of the
people entitled or supposed to be en-
titled to pay for their services or al
lodged services to bring proceedings, in
other words to leave 1t to the employees
of the county to fight for their pay. The
idea being to go ahead with the pres

COURTS POWER
TO MAKE RULES

On a reserved question from a First
Circuit Judge, in the case of Josepha
A. f. Cardoza VS.. Saint Antonio Bene-
VIOLENT Society, the Supreme Court in
an opinion by Justice Ballou declares
the law as follows:
Courts have inherent power to make
rules for the transaction of their bust
ness, and assuming that the rules of
the circuit courts of the Republic of
Hawaii are no longer in force, the Cir
cult court of the first circuit, in the ab-
sence of rules for all the circuits made
under r. l.. 1853, has power to make
its own rules.
Under h. l.. 1911 and the circuit
court rule as to the liability of attor-
neys for costs the court has power to
tax the costs Of commission as costs
of court and hold the attorney of the
losing party liable therefor, although
such costs were advanced by the OPP
posite party pending the termination
of the case"

NO MISDEMEANOR
TO ERECT BUILDING
IN LIMITS STATED

BY unanimous opinion the Supreme
Court reverses the judgment of the
Honolulu District Court, whereby M.
Muranaka was fined 500 and costs for
erecting within five hundred feet of the
premises of the Kaahumanu public
school in Honolulu a building design
ed and intended to be used for a lodg-
ing and tenement house. Chief Jus
tice Hartwell writes the opinion, of
which this is the syllabus:
"A county ordinance making it
misdemeanor to construct or erect any
building or structure designed or in
tended to be used for a lodging or
tenement house within five hundred
feet of any public school premises is
not an exercise of power granted to
boards of supervisors by Act 80 ). L.
1905, Sec. 62, Par. 5, TO regulate by
ordinance within the limits of the
county all local police, sanitary and

In the body of the decision the fol-
lowing remarks appear:
'The defendant was found guilty and
sentenced to pay a fine of $50 and costs
$4.10, from which sentence he appealed
upon points of law, claiming that the
ordinance % is unconstitutional in
deprivlng him of his property without

CASES. AND RETURNS FIFTY TWO INDICTMENTs-ALso MAKES
A DECLARATION IN FAVOR o HAVING ANOTHER Fedora AL


Judge Dole this morning received tn
final report of the Federal Grand Jur.
and discharged them for the term. Th
report is as follows:
Honorable Sanford B. Dole, Judge of
the United States District Court,
Territory of Hawaii.
Sir:-The grand jury, empaneled,
sworn and charged by you for the Oc-
tober A. d. 1908 term, on October IL,
1908, has concluded its duties, and begs
to submit herewith its final report.
All of the cases presented by the
United States District Attorney to this
grand jury have been carefully inves-
igated, and fifty-two true bills have
been found and returned, and in three
cases a return made of not true bill.
In returning the several indictments,
the grand jury begs leave to submit
that it has investigated carefully into
many questions dealing with the i'm
portation and harboring of alien wo-

ceeded with its construction and ex-
lpended thereon in labor and material
more than 5000.
] The contention of the county at
torney is that lodging houses in the
vicinity of school houses may affect
injuriously the morals and manners
of the children and their general well
fare and therefore reasonably and pro-
perly are prohibited within five hun
dred feet of a school house as a lawful
regulation of business in itself legal.
1t is enough, he says, that enforcement
of the ordinance would tend to protect
the morals of such children, conduce
to their welfare and comfort and in
some degree protect their health: that
lodging houses do not belong to the
same class as hotels which are not as
undesirable"
IF the ordinance had declared that
keeping a lodging house within the
designated area was an offense then
the question whether building it for
that purpose could be made a penal
onense would be different from that
presented under the ordinance in its
present form in which the use of the
building is not prohibited but merely
It's erection. This is not an instance
