Attorneys for Mrs. Gould Rest Case
and Justice Bowling Defines
Issues Upon Which Case
Rests.
NOTABANDONMENT
Howard GOuld's Offer to Return Were
Entirely Reasonable, According to
the COurt.-NO Evidence of Cruelty
and Claim of NOn-SuppOrt Thor
Oughly DisprOved.

R1EW YORK, June abandonment
will be the sole issue upon
which rests the suit for separa-
tion brought by Catherine Clemmons
Gould against her husband, Howard
Gould, was the decision made late to-
day in the supreme court by Justice
Bowling, after counsel for Mrs. Gould
had rested the case for the plaintiff.
This sweeps away several phases of
the case-notably, cruelty and non
support, and is a partial victory for
Howard Gould.
AS to the charge of abandonment
the court held too, that this might not
stand unless the plaintiff was able to
show that Howard GOuld's stipuIa-
tions for a reconciliation were unrea-
sonable. This phase will be argued
tomorrow.
Developments today were perhaps
the most interesting in the trial.
George Gould, d brother of the de-
fendant, testified and Mrs. Gould was
excused from the stand after three
days of searching cross-examination
After the case for the plaintiff was
rested, Delaney Nicoll for the husband,
made the usual motion to dismiss the
suit on the ground that the plaintiff
had failed to make out case.
There have been no evidences of
cruelty" he argued. "One of the al
rounded by spies. Nothing has been
adduced to prove it."

argued against the motion to dismiss.

Whatever effect the events of the
day will have on the ultimate decision
of the case, honors were about even
in the verbal battle between the cross

sprang surprises.

TroubLes at Honolulu
Liable to Become
International
APPEAL TO JAPAN
Alleged That Through Invasion Of
Newspaper Office and Seizure of
Private Papers and Documents,
Treaty Rights Are Violated.

HONOLULU, June 14.-The
situation growing out Of the
- indictment by the grand jury
of II leaders in the strike of the
japanese plantation laborers, was
given an international turn today
when M. Negoro, Of the editorial
staff of the Jill, local Japanese
publication, who was taken into
custody Friday, made formal
complaint to the Japanese foreign
office at Toxic of the violation of
his treaty rights.
The alleged violation of his rights
as Japanese subject, guaranteed un-
der the treaty between the United
States and Japan, he sets forth in his
complaint, consists in the search OF
his offices and the seizure of his pri-
vate papers and documents by the ter
ritorial authorities without due pro-
cess Of law.
Territorial Sheriff William Henry
were made by force of arms and with
out search warrants or process of
law, but claims that the papers
seized contained evidence of criminal
purpose and declares that the courts
of the territory are open to Negoro
for redress if it has been demanded.
Negoro was rearrested today with Y.
Soga T. Taska and K. Kuwamura of
ols so1 pGo Sc 41A nd
the Jill, upon indictments returned by
the grand jury charging them with
conspiring by indirect, sinister and
unlawful methods and means of in
timidation, melting to riot and threat
ened violence to prevent and hinder
the Honolulu, Oahu, Eva, Wailua and
Kahulu plantations from carrying on
their business. Hearing of the appli-
cation for bail was set for 2 o'clock
this afternoon.
The strikers today attacked and
seriously stabbed Japanese restau-
rant keeper at Kahana for having re-
fused to furnish them any longer
with food. The place is distant and
inaccessible, but the sheriff has start
ed for the scene to make an investi-
cation.
At all other points on the lSlano
quiet reigns and no news of any dis
turN ances have been received up to
noe II today. Most of the Japanese
haze returned to work on the Eva
and Wailua plantations, and there are
full forces of strike breakers on the
Honolulu and Oahu plantations.
It is reported from Hilo that the
Japanese there have selected dele
cation to come to this city and join
in the formal demand upon the plant
ers' association for an increase in
wages to 81 day.

a q ANILA, June 14.-The courage
and coolness under fire of the
American women at Davao dur
ing the siege of the convent in which
all Americans were gathered during
the mutiny of June 6, when a part of
the company of Philippine constabu-
larry at that post revolted, is the sub
ject of warm praise in a private mes
sage received today from Davao,
which contains further details of the
affair. After the attack on the bar
racks, which fell into the hands of
the mutineers, all the Americans of
the post and Is of the constabulary
who remained loyal, gathered in the
convent and repulsed the assaults of
the mutineers The women remained
cool and unafraid during the defense
of the building and assisted the men
in every way possible. Capt. Allen
Walker of the Philippine scouts, gov
ernor of Davao province, was wound
ed during the attacks upon the
church. His injury is reported to be
slight.
The pursuit of the % mutineers
who retired to the mountains when
their assaults upon the convent
proved unavailing, has already COM
menced. The mutineers are of the
Viacian tribe and two companies of
Moro constabulary will join the pur-

O'Gara Uses Entire Court Session i'm
Presenting Case Against Pres
ident of the United
Railways.
SOCIETY AUDIENCE
Women Given Preference and Fill the
Greater Part of Court RODm.-Mis.
conduct ON Part of Prosecution Ia
Alleged but Court Sits Down ON the
Suggestion. Calhoun Is Present.

ESAN FRANCISCO, June 14.-James
O'Gara, assistant prosecutor in
the trial of Patrick Calhoun, had
submitted one-ha1f Of the a1gumenta.
tive address against the president Of
the United Railroads today when his
address before the jury and q crowded
room was concluded at the end of an
entire court session.
An increased police detail regulated
the attendance. Women we're given
the preference over scores of men
who vainly. sought admission and one
third of the seating capacity was
given over to their use
Until late in the day there was no
dramatic incident or interruption to
reward the close attention spectators
gave to Mr.. O'Gara's dispasslonate re-
view of testimony offered during the
last two months by scores Of wit
nesses.
MIR. Calhoun sat at the edge of the
table reserved by the defense and at
his side were Tirey L. Ford, William
M. Abbott and Thornwell Mullaly,
three officials Jointly indicted with the
defendant and all sitting in full view
of the jury.
This was the situation when Mr.
O'Gara reviewing Mr.. Ford's alleged
connection with Abraham Ruef and
the bribery of the supervisors in 1906,
said:
"Why did not Tirey L. Ford come
here and hold up his right hand and
swear that he was not guilty of p y
ing this fund of 100000 to Ruef?"
"This is assigned as misconduct on
the part of the prosecution" said
Stanley Moore of the defense. 'Fe
knows that Mr.. Ford has been here
and could have been called by his
side as Witness"
A spirited argument involving the
legal rights of the prosecution to
make such reference ensued and
Judge Lawler, disregarding repeated
ed protests, directed O'Gara to repeat
the sentence.
Alexander King of Georgia, will
open the argument for the defense to-
morrow morning.

THREATEN REPRlSALS
Senate Worked That Resolution for
Independence of Philippines Would
Be IntrOduced.-COnn TObac-
co Growers PlaCated.

WASHINGTON, June 14.-sugar was
the stirring subject before the
senate today. 1t was brought to
the front in connection with the con-
sideration of the finance committees
substitute for the provision of the
tariff bill regulating the admission of
Philippine articles into the United
States and received practically the un-
divided attention of the senate
throughout the day.
During the first part of the session
there was some discussion of the eff
feet of the provision ON the tobacco
interests of Connecticut, but an
amendment looking to the introduc-
tion of Connecticut tobacco into the
Philippines for wrappers had the eff
feet of relieving the situation in that
quarter. Immediate attention was
then directed to the clauses providing
duty on sugar admitted into the
Philippines equal to that on sugar
brought into the United States. and
exempting 100000 tons of Philippine
sugar from duty when brought into
the United States.
Senator Bristow criticised both pro-
visions and his criticisms opened the
way for general debate between
Bristow and Clapp on one side, and
Aldrich and Lodge on the other. It
was contended on the one hand that
the two provisions combined were
intended to promote the interests of
the American sugar trust and not ben
eft the Philippine producers. 1t was

Passengers Of Cunarder SlavOnia Re-
late Story of FOundering of
the Big Ship.
PLAYED POPULAR AIRS
Steerage Passengers Hard to Control
During Excitement.-Ship Rapidly
Filled After Striking Upon Rock
Wireless Call For Help.

GIBRALTAR, June 14.-The North
IN German Lloyd steamer Princess
Irene arrived here this after
noon, having on board the first class
passengers of the Cunard steamer
Slayonia, which ran ashore on the
night of June 10 on Flores island, one
of the Azores islands.
The Slavonia sailed from New York
on June 8. She was under a good
head of speed, the passengers report
ed today, when in fog she struck a
rock off Flores island. The water
rushed in and in an incredibly short
time flooded the hold and reached the
engines. c
The passengers were awakened by
the shock and flocked out ON the
decks. It was then half-past o'clock
in the morning. Those of the first
and second cabins behaved admirably
but the steerage passengers showed
much excitement. The officers did
everything possible to reassure the
passengers and the band was set to
playing popular airs. A call for help
was sent out by wireless, which was
responded to by the Princess Irene,
but long before her arrival ON the
scene the Slavonias own boats land
ed the passengers.
The passengers are unanimous in
praising the GOODNESS and kindness
shown by the captain, the officers and
crew of the wrecked steamer.
No one was injured, but according
to one of the passengers, a passenger
in the steerage attempted to commit
suicide.

Denies Right of Court
to Force IT Into
Connections
TO CARRY CASE UP
Understood That Which Ever Way
Case Is Decided 1t viii Go to High
er Courts Distinguished Array of
Counsel Argues Case Before Judge
Hunt I'm Federal Court.

ELENA, June Ia. - Distin-
guished members of the New
York and San Francisco bars
appeared before Judge Hunt in
the federal court this morning on
behalf of the Rocky Mountain
Bell Telephone company, to argue
a motion to set aside two orders
entered in the separate cases of
of the Montana and Wyoming
Telephone company and the Bill
ings Mutual Telephone company,
against the Rocky Mountain Bell
Telephone company.
The points involved are of vital i'm
portance to the Bell company, for il
the order stands, it will mean that in
dependent concerns can force the
Bell to make connections for long dis
tance calls.
Gum and Rasch of this city, Hunt
Chipely of New York, and Garrett w.
McNerney Of San Francisco, consid-
cred the most distinguished members
of the bar of that city and a lawyer
of national reputation, appeared ON
behalf of the Bell company; o. w.
Goddard of Billings, representing the
Montana and Wyoming, and the Bill
ings Mutual Telephone companies.
One of the orders which the de-
fendant company wishes to have set
aside, was that granting the motion Of
the plaintiffs for findings and the 9TH
er and most important, was the order
appointing commissioners to assess
compensation to be paid by the plain
tiffs to the defendant for making long
distance telephone connections. ---~'
The order was made about two
years ago and the commissioners were
named but they never sat. The Bill
ings telephone concern based it's case
upon the eminent domain statutes OF
Montana.
Many points were raised by the at
torneys for the defendant company
and the arguments were lengthy.
1t was argued that the present stat
utes of Montana relating to eminent
domain do not afford the means to
carry into effect the grant given by
the constitution, as Mr.. Rasch ex-
pressed it. Eminent domain statutes
must be construed strictly, he argued,
and nothing allowed by implication.
Continuing, he argued that nothing in
the present statutes authorized such
condemnations to be made as were
contemplated by the order.
Mr.. Chipely contended that the em-
inent domain statutes of the state at
tempted to give legislative functions
to a court which was established by
the constitution, and that this was
unconstitutional in that one depart
ment of the government would be
usurping the prerogatives of another
and coordinate branch. He admitted
that property could be condemned,
but held that there could be no con-
demnation of the service of
company. The legislative will, he
averred, had not been expressed to
cover that which was sought for by
the plaintiff company and that, there
fore, the court was impotent in the
matter.
Mr.. Gum and Mr.. McNerny followed
this afternoon, and late this afternoon
Mr. Goddard replied and argued why
the orders should be allowed to stand.
1t is almost certain that the matter
will be carried to the higher courts.
