WAIbUKU
WATER CASE
JUDGE ROBINSON FINDS NO pow
Err IN LAW TO CHANGE THE
VENUE. Il

Judge Robinson has denied the mo-
tion of the government for a change
of venue in the case of Wailuku Sugar
Company VS.. Marston Campbell, Sup
|erintendent of Public Works, and Will
liam E. Bal, Superintendent of Wal
luku and Kahului Water Works.
1t is an injunction suit to enioin the
use of the waters of the Wailuku river
and of lao Valley by the Territory of
Hawaii and the County of Maui in wa
ter works situated in the towns of
Wailuku and Kahului, on the ground
that all of the water is the property Of
tine company. A motion was made by
the defendants to change the venue
from Il judge of the First to the judge
of the Second Circuit, on the ground
that a fair and impartial trial could not
be had in the first Judicial Circuit,
Judge Robinson says:
I'm my opinion, in the absence of sta
'utory authority circuit judge sitting
motion for a change of venue, based
upon any ground, or to transfer for
trial or for any other purpose, any
cause properly brought and rightfully
pending before him, to a judge OF any
other circuit.
"Tt will therefore not be necessary to
Iconsider the sufficiency of the affidaVits
filed in support of the motion, and as
the alternative suggested by counse
for defendants in his argument anc
Ibriefs, that the judge of the above en-
titled court before whom this cause is
now pending personally proceed with
the trial of said cause in the Second
Circuit, is neither indicated nor ex'
pressed as a ground Of his motion
such suggestion cannot properly bC
considered at this time

STRANGE
DEFENSE
CUT EDITOR SHEBA BECAUSE OF
UNCONTROLLABLE IMPULSE TO
PUNISH HIM, r5,a

/ Tomikichi Mori took the witness
stand on his own behalf, as first wit
ness for the defense IN his trial for at
tempt to murder Editor Sheba, in
Judge De Bolts court TINS morning.
Defendants story corroborated that
: of Sheba III every detail, but he intro
duced the plea of sudden and uncon-
trollable passion under the impulse OF
insult.
u, Mori showed how, while conversing
with Sheba on the street, he placed his
hands under his coat tails, drew the
knife therefrom, opened it and plunged
it into Sheba's neck. The same knife
in evidence was placed in his hands
and he did not seem to avoid any of
the dramatic effect in the way he show
ed how the deed was done.
AS to when the impulse came to
,"punish" Sheba, he said it was on She
ba's asking him to go to his (Sheba 81
office and saying that if he convinced
him that his course toward the Japa-
nese laborers was wrong he might
ichange the policy of his paper.
1T was his manner more than his
words" Morl explained, (which made
me decide he should be punished"
Sheba had previously in their walk
together told MIN that he was young
Mori stated that he had no personal
quarrel with Sheba.
County Attorney Cathcart pressed
him strongly on cross-examination tt
} show that in his statement taken down
by stenographer at the station after
his arrest he said his "only reason" fol
Istabbing Sheba was that he had made
up his mind that he was a bad MAJ
who was working against the interest
of the Japanese, and that on that oc
casion he made no mention of having
been insulted by Sheba in the conver
sation in question.
Mr.. Douthitt fought hard and re
peatedly against this line Of cross-exa
: mination, but the court overruled hi
objections.
. Mori insisted that he did give insul
as a cause of his act when questione
; at the station, yet admitted that he an
$ swered in the affirmative the question
e Shebas attitude toward the Japanes
S In his examination in chief Mo-
explained his having the knife sharl
ened before the stabbing by sayin
he wanted a keen edge for sharper
. ing pencils.

SUPERVISORS Want
TO KNOW OF GRAFT
THERE'S ANYTHING WRONG THE POLICE COMMITTEE AND MAYOR
WISH ENLIGHTENED-No PANIC NOTICEABLE POLICE
sTATIoN-LEAIs FRIENDS THINK ACCUSATION SHOULD
BEEN MADE BEFORE LEFT. ia

"If there were charges to be made
against Chief of Detectives Leal, why
were they not made while he was
here?" inquired Supervisor who is a
member of the police committee of the
Board
"Grand jury or no grand jury he con-
tinued, 1--WE will make an investigation
on our own account. II there has been
any graft, or if there is any graft, we
want to know it. The grand jury can
take up the matter and probably will,
but the members of the police commit
tee will also investigate. We will
have our own investigation. I can
not understand, however, why charges
should be withheld against Leal until
he left for the mainland"
Mayor Fern will also take hand in
the investigation of charges preferred,
joining with the police committee OF
the Board, as is his privilege.
Sheriff Jarrett and Deputy Sheriff
Rose were both seen this morning with
reference to charges made by the Ad-
vertiser that there was graft among
the police.
THE grand jury will take the mat
ter up" said Jarrett, "and sift the
charges. I have heard rumors of al
legged Irregularities, but have no knowl-
edge Of such. Personally 1 have nc
cause to fear an investigation.
Roses sentiments were similar
In the Office of the detectives some
smiled and others expressed indignation
at the extreme vagueness of the pub
lished charges; though chiefly a joke

Reputed LeperS
TO Be Discharged

1t is learned on good authority that
no less than fifty-seven persons from
the Molokai Leper Settlement will be
discharged as a result of the examin-
alton by the board of physicians.
Many of them, it is stated, are found
never to have had the disease. A re-
port of the medical examiners is to
be presented to the Board of Health
at its next meeting.
This heavy result of the re-exam-
ination of denizens of the Settlement
instituted by the Legislature was
probably not anticipated. Perhaps if

was made of the idea of Willie Craw-
ford posing as an investigator and the
most popular expression of opinion
was that if Leal was known to be i'm
plicated in anything irregular, why
were not the charges made before he
left for the mainland?
Leal stated before he went to the
coast for his health, and he was really
sick, irrespective of charges true or
otherwise, that there were those who
wanted his job and he didn't care much
whether they succeeded in getting it or
not, for he was getting $14O month
when he believed the salary for the
Office should be $175.
Joe Leal has an intimate knowledge
of criminal conditions in Honolulu and
has been a successful officer according
to the police records.
If he is crooked, his friends think
he should have been accused when he
was here and not deprived OF an op-
portunity to defend himself.
An investigation cannot be complete
without his presence and an examina-
ton of the now absent chief, whether
he is guilty or not, may result in dis
closures affecting the guilt of others
not necessarily on the police force, in
connection with matters bearing the
semblance of graft; for, as above noted
he is familiar with conditions and has
served the police department long.
In the meanwhile there is no sign OF
panic in the police station, as result
of the indefinite allegations, and the
work is proceeding as usual.

II Was looted

This harmless little story was taken
from the Tonopah Bonanza:
A party arriving from Carson City
this morning says that it has just leaked
out that a tunnel had been run under:
the state capitol by thieves bent on the
robbery of the state treasurer's vault
h1t evidently the robbers after weeks
ofhard toll abandoned their bold pro-
jet on account Of keeping tab on the
number of large appointments and
raising of state officers salaries by the
legislature that that $500, 600 surplus
had vanished like the wind. If they
had continued their hazardous work
and mined up and into the treasury
vault their labor would have been in
vain, for the much prided cash on hand
has about all been used up. And then
if the robbers had been captured they
would have been sentenced to long
terms in the penitentiary for securing
nothing. One loots and goes free; the
other don't loot aud goes to jail if he is
caught. .........

afternoon. Where will Mr.. be

five Percheron stations he purchased
at. The Breeders Sale" held at Bloom

At this sale. 3O1 head of registered hors-
es, mares andi colts were sold at public
auction. about 80 per cent of which
were of the Percheron breed. The gov
ernment statistics show that of the
ldraught horses imported to the United
States every year, fully rs per cent are
Percherons, the other % per cent being
made up of Clydesdales, Belgians and
Shires.
Mr.. Hill now has on his Devils Gate
Ranch" on North Fork head of regis
tered Percheron stations and ia regis
tered four-year old mares, nnost.of which
will have foals by their sides this spring.
He has also contracted for forty adj
ditional mares, all registered Percherons,
and hopes in a year or two to be in a:
position to supply the ranchers of Elko
county with, all the breeding stock they
Want, bred and acclimated in this
county and which will do away with
the risk and expense of bringing this
stock from the east, as Mr. Hill ex-
presses the belief that the climate and
grasses of Elko county are superior to
those of Iowa and Illinois the present

At the Bloomington sale, Mr.. Hill
bought the prize colt "Monarque", a

he First Skirnish

Yesterday Todd, Berry and Furguson,
the majority Of the committee on public
morals, reported the anti gambling bill
to the assembly with an amendment to
take effect on, January 1, 1910. Blake
and Merton, the minority of the COM
mittee, reported in favor of submitting
it to a special election to be held in
November and if adopted to take effect
on the date named by the majority.
Following the reports, Mr.. Winter
moved that the bill be taken up at 2:1O
in the afternoon, and Dodge moved an
amendment making the bill special
order for next Wednesday afternoon at
2:10. The amendment was carried by a
vote of rs to 10. s.n...' go. ... s...'...
The Gazette says that although the
vote was in favor Of Dodge, the leader
of the gambling interests, it is not
taken asa test votes as! many of the
legislators that voted for Dodge's
motion are known to be in favor of the
bill. They want to hear the bill dis
:cussed. '2''': so ~. a .'
While the Gazette may be correct in
its conclusions, the vote does not look
good to us. Delay is evidently what
the opposition to the bill is playing for
and it seems strange that any one favor
ing the bill should play into the hands
iof the men who oppose it. Delays are
dangerous in many of the affairs of life
and they are doubly so in legislative
bodies where reform measures are
bitterly opposed by special interests.
