DECISION RENDERED
AFTER THREE YEARS

Nearly three years after the case
was tried before him, Judge Dole yes
terday issued decree and judgment
of condemnation in the case OF the
United States of America versus the
John Ii Estate and others.
|, The case came up before Judge Dole
for trial September 10, 1906, jury waiv-
ed, but on account of the large amount
of work which the judge has for sew
eral years past had to do, decision IN
the case has not before been reached.
The arrival of Judge Woodruff, who
has divided the work with Judge Dole,
has given the latter an opportunity to
catch up with some of his back cases,
and judgments that have been long
hanging fire are beginning to be rem
dered.
The land which the United States
brought suit to condemn is at Pearl
Harbor and is wanted for the naval
station and other similar purposes. The
Judge finds that the value of the i'm
provements on it is nothing. The real
property he values at $4,000, which
sum viii be paid over by the govern
ment. The fishery and fishing rights
are not condemned and the title to
them remains with the original owners.
A second decision was rendered by
Judge Dole yesterday in the case of
the United States versus Aloiau, Levi
p. Kauhoe and Isaac Kauhoe. This
was suit on a bond resulting from
the Kauai postoffice defaleation, the
defendants being the sponsors for the
peculating government officials. There
was no defense when the ease was
heard on July 6. 1909, and the court
gives Judgment for the United States
in the sum of $1,000. with interest
amounting to S365.17, and costs

About seven thousand dollars have
been paid by Castle & Cooke, agents
for the Matson Navigation Company,
to local consignees in settlement of
claims for damage to cargo received on
the Hilonian. The last trip of the Hi
lonian here was disastrous on account
of water pipe bursting and flooding
the forward cargo hold. The injured
merchandise was taken out of the hold
and summed on the forward deck, can
vas being stretched to prevent the pas
sengers from seeing the wrecked boxes
of clothing and inerv.
It is said that Pop Splitter, the
genial proprietor of the Hub on Hotel
street, lost on his long trip to Chicago
and other eastern cities, as a part of his
new stock was on the Hilonian His
profits were practically absorbed by the
damage done his Hilonian merchandise,
and all that Pop got as value re-
ceited was a fine visit east during the
hot weather and some new pointers on
bridge whist.

Kaisha left San Francisco on the 9th
uItimo for Japan, and that the object
of his visit to Toxic is said to be the
eanceling of the agreement between
the company and the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company. The Osaka journal
adds that owing to the depression in
the marine business the Pacific Mail
Company has repeatedly acted in def
ance of the agreement in order TO Sc
cure freight, and in retaliation the
Toyo Klsen Kaisha has decided to can
eel the agreement with the American
company. If the agreement is can
celed the Toyo Kisen kaisha will be
unable to maintain the connection OF
its steamers with the railways in
America. This will place the company
in a very disadvantageous position, but
if the action of the Pacific Mail Com
pany were passed over, it is claimed
that the company would act in still
more arbitrary manner and the Togo
Kisen Kaisha would be involved in an
even more disadvantageous position
than by the diseOnnection. Thus the
company is placed in very embarrass-
ing situation. It seems a curious dis
pute as related in the japanese papers.
Wished to be Reported.
Chronicle William Lyons
of the Hawaiian Company s
freighter Missourian writes to the ma
rine department of the Chronicle
from Salina Cruz that he spoke the
French bark Montcalm, which IS bound
from Honolulu for Oregon. The latter
desired to be reported. The bark was
spoken July 20 in latitude 1885 north,
longitude 142 west. She was on
starboard tack, standing to northwest.
Captain Lyons sends very good snap
shot of the Frenehman, which he took

Once Stately Liner.
Call.-The steamer City of Peking,
which has the distinction of having
carried the first body of American
troops to fight on foreign soil, will be
converted into a detention station for
aliens, the United States government
having accepted it in lieu of the pres
emit sheds maintained by the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company. These sheds
were so unsuitable for a detention sta
ton that it was easy for Cinnamon
locked in them to escape by saving
away the gratings over the windows.
The government ordered the steamship
company to provide safer quarters and
the old steamer was substituted. The
City of Picking transported the First
Californians to the Philippines.
Going Is Now Pilot.
Call.-Captain P. Fl. Going, who was
master of the japanese liner Tenyo
Maru, and who left the T. z. K. SER
vice some months ago, is now pilot
at Hongkong. He was appointed by
the harbormaster and is said to be
making a success in his new job. He
pilots all the Standard Oil ships in and
out of the harbor and his services are
said to be in demand by all vessels
that have no pilot regularly retained.

1t is no part of the duty and business
of the President, so far as that duty and
business can be asceTtained in the Con-

and precedent for such writing. For
pleasure no President is likely to write.
He cannot write for glory and adver-
tislng; he has enough and to spare of
them. He cannot write for the good
that he can do, save TO publishers and
himself. Articles wrung from him by

value. They owe their temporary sue

not TO their merit. We must regard

give fair representation 10 all classes OF
his subjects The land owning class,
the clergy, the merchants and the peas
antry ought all to be represented. The
Russian Government recognizes that
tho Mejlis now defunct was in no sense
a representative assembly OF the people
Of Persia. The next experiment must
be. and to that end the joint efforts OF
Russia and England should be directed.
The technical assistance required in
reorganizing the administration and
finances of the country might at the
request Of the Shah be provided with
the help Of the Russian and British gov
ernments. Beyond suchpurely technical
assistance to the Shah's reformed gov
ernment, however, nothing is contem-
plated
The truth is that Persia is a country
essentially rich but suffering from bad
administration. The establishment OF a
rational form Of representative assem-
bly, would assure the control of the nation
over the past and present irregularities
which have disgraced all the depart
ments Of government. With some as
sistance in the technicalities OF state
economy Persia should recovey from
the intolerable conditions of the imme-
mortal past and Of the present state of
anarchy.

The situation In Persia.

The most lucid and sensible nforma-
ton concerning the state of things in
Persia which as yet has been forth
coming is set forth in the memorandum
Of the Cars Government laid before
the British Foreign Office which has
been published in the London Times.
II should be recalled that the southern
section OF Persia, which lies within the
British sphere Of influence under the
Anglo Russian treaty. has been rela-
lively little disturbed by the anarchic
condition Of the rest OF the country.
whereas the chaotic situation which
has followed the arbitrary dismissal of
the Mejlis or Persian Parliament has
tended to keep the Transcaucasian
territories of Russia in restless con-
dition. Russia, therefore, is naturally
desirous TO put an end 10 the disturbed
state Of things, and il was TO be expected
that the first suggestions to that effect
would come from her. Twelve months
Of anarchy in n neighboring state have
naturally caused the Cars Govern
ment, which has local troubles Of its
own, a great deal Of anxiety.
Something must be done, but both
Russia and Great Britain are opposed
to forcible intervention. Can nothing
be effected by moral suasion and non
military means? proof to the contrary
is the successful management Of the
Persian customs under foreign control,
ahe supervisors and directors being a
few Belgians. These Belgians have
contrived not only TO provide the
necessary interest on Persias foreign
loans but to give the Shah practically
the only regular resources Of his treas
ury. The outcome Of this experiment
on small scale shows that all the Per-
SLAMS require is instruction in the arts
