Presentment of the Grand Jury.


To the Honorable G. W. Gage, pre-
siding Judge:
We beg leave to report that we
have examined the trial justices and
their books.
We find numbers of irregularities
but nothing criminally wrong. We
find that their system of book-keep-
ing is not in accordance with blanks
and docket furnished them by the
county. They have promised that in
future they will keep them in accord
ance with the forms provided.
We examined the Office and books
of the master and find them neatly
and Systematically kept.
We have examined the Office and
books of the probate judge and find
no system in his methods of keeping
his books, we find several documents
of several years standing that have
not been indexed. We find entries
made by others than the probate
Judge that are very illegible. 1t is
possible that he has not been furn-
ished with the proper books, and
we recommend that If such is
the case that they be supplied.
We find that the windows to
his office are in bad repair
and should be repaired at once,
as evil disposed persons would have
no difficulty in gaining access to his
Office and valuable documents.
Respectfully submitted,
w. S. BAMBERG, Foreman.

Proceedings Of Court.

The criminal cases of the present
term of court were concluded last
Friday night with the trial of Will
lam Hughes, and civil cases were
taken up Saturday morning.
The first case tried was that of H
]. Faust, of Denmark, against the
Atlantic Coast Line Railroad. The
suit was for $3.50 damages for the
burning of a barn and stables, set on
fire by an engine of the company.
The jury returned verdict for the
plaintiff for 1925.
The case of the Cotton Oil Com
pany, of this city, against the South
ern hallway was withdrawn from the
jury by the judge, with leave to the
parties to make certain amendments.
This was a suit for something over
$4,000 for cotton seed destroyed by
fire when the gin house of Mrs. May
field at Lees was burned.
The case of G. w. Rentz against
the Southern railroad resulted in a
verdict for Mr.. Rentz for $472.75.
This was an action for damages to
Mr.. Rentz's farm just below town on

the flow or water and backing water
on his crops. The case was tried
here once before and the railroad
appealed to the Supreme Court. No
doubt the road will pay the verdict
without further litigation.
An interesting suit that has been
in the courts for several years was
that of Mitchum ct al VS.. Bank of
Hampton and G.. B. Clayton. This
was suit for recovery of land. The
suit was dismissed.
In the case of Mrs. NJ. E. Edwards
against the Southern Railway, suit
for $4,000 damages for the loss of a
trunk, etc., the judge, on motion of
J. F. Carter, Esq, representing the
railroad, directed the jury to return
a verdict of s8.75 for the plaintiff.

Did Paul give the advice for them

$50 A MONTH FOR COAL.

Mrs. Norton Sutton, Of Washington
c. H., Ohio, is an ardent admirer of
Coles Hot Blast Range. In telling
about it, she says:
"After four years use of one of
your hot blast ranges, pronounce
it great fuel saver. 1t has not
in any month of the whole tirDe
cost me over $3.50 for coal and
every part Of the range is\aSgood
II as when first put into usA AS a
baker it is certainly absolute per-
fiction"
No one ever heard before of a range
with so many advantages for anything
like its price. The hot blast combus-
ton which saves the wasting gases in
the fuel, thus making one hod of coal
do the work of two in other ranges, is
only one of more than dozen points
Of superiority which this modern up
to-date range has over all others.

Togo Kisen Kaisha S. S. Tenyo Maru
from the Orient yesterday afternoon,
and to sail for San Francisco tomor-
row had to be berthed at the Oceanic
wharf, a wharf that is none too long
for her, for the reason that her reg
ular berth, the Hackfeld wharf, is al
ready congested with an Oriental
cargo, and because the Alakea street
wharf where the tPacific Mail and the
Togo Kisen Kaisha boats hope to dock
some day, has not yet reached COM
pletion.
Strange as it may seem, Honolulu
is not able to handle the freight that
is coming here, as far as wharves are
concerned, and the tsrenuous cry that
is going up from the workers and from
the practical superintendent Of water
front work is that before we begin to
hoist signal of distress for more ships
we had better get more wharves, or
more freight room to accommodate
what is brought by present bottoms.
To begin at the Waikiki end of the
harbor and work around to the EVA
end of the port, as conditions are to-
day, the situation that presents itself
is as follows: 90
The Old channel wharf, originally
designed as a quarantine wharf, is, first
of all, chopped up into at-present use
less compartments which inconvenience
the handling of freight; besides, this
wharf is practically for the use Of the
army, whether technically so or not.
The Bishop slip yesterday gave a
good illustration of It's circumstances,
for the bark Nuuanu came in from
New York and had to lose a whole day,
as far as discharge is concerned, by
morning to the Eva side. the coal con-
veyor, while the Aorangi used the
Aorangi used the berth opposite. And
now the Aorangi cargo is there and
has to be hustled out of the way for
the Makura cargo tomorrow. The
Naval wharves are absolutely no good
for anything but coal discharge, be-
ing unprotected; incidentally being in
poor repair. Then comes the incom-
plete Alakea street wharf, which is to
be a grand wharf when it is finished,
but is no use until finished. The
Oceanic wharf is too short for big
ships like the Pacific Mail and the Togo
Kisen Kaisha. Allen & Robinsons
wharf, of course, is always lumber
laden. The Matson wharf, even when
not busy with the hustling Matson
boats, is of use only on one side, and
besides, is not long enough for the big
bottoms. Then come the Inter-Islapd
wharves which rarely find chance to
accommodate a stray sailing vessel
being too frequently occupied with
their own business. The HackreId
wharf, as before noted, is piled with
Oriental freight, and over at the rail-
way wharves are at present two ships
of the American-Hawalfan s. S. Co.
There are ships lying in the stream
today, with comparatively few vessels
in port. The French bark La Blanche
is one of them The lumber wharves
are crowded. The esplanade wharves
between the Alakea street wharf and
the Oceanic wharf are occupied with

Combinations in furs is one of the fads of the season. Even muffs show the tendency by being of one fur bor- dered with another or composed of all ternate stripes of two different furs.
 The Dutch cap. patterned after the historic dairy maid headgear. but made in quilted chiffon, richly overlaid with dull gold lace and trimmed with pink ribbon flowers. has appeared as an opera cap.
 A novelty is a hat made almost en- tirely of wings. The brim is formed of them, and it is arranged to over lay with the tips pointing upward and the crown encircled with a wreath of tiny pinions.
 A curious sleeve is one which has no fullness at the shoulders Instead the extra material is put into tiny darts which are carefully fitted about the armhoIe. the material being cut away underneath.
 In some of the afternoon tailor mades there is a relief from the dark foundation color on the iapels of the coat which are often of Oriental em- broidery or its effect. while the collar is of black velvet, satin or moire.

MAD SCULPTOR
 KEPT AT HIS ART

Naples, Oct. 23.-The Duchess of Aosta. who Is a Princess of the House of Orleans and sister to Queen Amelie of Portugal. has performed what may well be regarded as Q miracle. There lives in Naples great Italian sculptor. iVncenzo Gemito, once disciple and friend of Meissonier. whose later life has been clouded by sadness. Some twenty years ago. owing to overwork and distressing mental suffering. his reason became unhinged. It was A quiet madness which impelled the poor sufferer to expend all his energy in the labor of his craft
 Gemito passed these twenty years working shard at the production of statuettes. These were real master pieces. which the sculptor modelled and remodeIled time after time. bringing them to the highest degree of perfee- tion. But he refused to leave his stud 10. as he feared the attacks of fantastic foes. who were the figments of his dis ordered brain. He took all his meals. and even slept, in the studio. amidst the products of his dexterous hands
 The Duchess of Aosta frequently paid visits to the studio of the afflicted sculptor, and at last has succeeded in inducing him to go to the Royal Palace One day this week. for the first time since his voluntary withdrawal from the outside world. Gemito. acconpan- fed by two relatives, left his house and walked along the. sunny stresfs 6f Ma ples. As he passed through the thrdnk- ed thoroughfares he was respectfully saluted by the numerous people who recognized him. At the Royal Palaze Gemito was cheerfuliy greeted by the Duke and Duchess of Aosta, who enter tained him for considerable time. The effect was magical. Throwing off the depressing gloom of years. the aged sculptor returned home full of joy, de- cIaring that he would come out again and enjoy life. All Italy is rejoicing over the exquisitely tactful victory of the Duchess of Aosta. the affect of which will. perhaps, he to give back to the world great artist.
