Charlotte NJ. Levey, Phillip H. Levey
and G. Athalie Levey, who were com
plainants in the bill mentioned.
In his accounts Coney notes re-
ceipts amounting TO $4144.30 and ex-
penditures Of sums totaling $3.50, leav-
ing a balance Of $399430. These ac-
counts were approved yesterday by

More Definitions.
Yesterday afternoon in the Utehi-
yama case going on in the federal court,
George Yamada japanese interpreter
for the federal officials, was the die
! tionary. Lightfoot who cross examined
him, took a greater dislike to a die
! tionary than ever, especially as he had
been discounted by one in the hands
of Breckons the day before.
| Yamada, who was testifying to the
confession made by Utchiyama in
| Breekons' office, was being asked the
meaning of the words defamatory and
scurrilous. Lightfoot intimated that
+ Yamada wasn't acquainted with them
/ and Yamada politely freshened the law
yer's memory by reminding him that
they formerly occupied the relation of
pupil and teacher.
Then he gave the exact definition Of
the word and Lightfoot proudly told
him that he was worthy of his teacher.

Coerper Sues.
Claiming that the Kona Vineyards
| Company, Limited, have wrongfully
withheld almost an entire year S sal
airy from him, Jacob Coerper yester-
/ day instituted a suit in assumpsit
against that corporation.
Coerper alleges in his bill of com
| plant that he entered into an agree
ment with the company named to act
as their manager in Kona, which posi-
! ton he accepted in January of this
year, with the understanding, SO he
claims, that he was to receive salary
/ of 1925 a month.
The company so far has paid him
but $40, and he has figured out that
it is in debt to him to the extent of
$26S0 on this count. As another count
against the company he claims to have
| never received $36925 which he turn
ed over to them to be handled for him.
This brings the total Of his claims to
$3049.25, which sum he is now attempt
ing to recover through the courts.
! May Be Perjured.
It is probable that a witness who ap-
peared for Hashigawa yesterday in
Judge De Bolts court may be tried
for perjury if License Inspector Fen
nell has his way and makes out the
case against him. Hashigawa was ac-
quilted yesterday by jury on a
charge of selling liquor without IL
cense, his acquittal resulting to a
great extent from the testimony of
the japanese in question. The de-
PENDANT had appealed from a 800 fine
imposed upon him by Judge Andrade
in the district court.
Fennell' s informer went into Hashi-
gawa's restaurant, ordering beer and
later sake, and paying marked coin for
it, which resulted N his arrest. The
defendant and his wife swear that they
never received money for the sake,
which the informer pleaded for be-
cause he was thirsty, and that the beer
that was served him belonged to a
japanese laborer who ate there.
This laborer testified as to his own
ership of the beer and Fennell now
thinks that he was induced to so tes
tify to get the restaurantkeeper out
| of his pilikia, and states that this is
supposed to be a common practise. The
witness testifies that he was employed
on the bark Kaulani, now at the Hack
!. field wharf, and Fennell went on board
yesterday and investigated. 1t result
ed that no japanese employed there
= has been allowed off for several week:
|. and not at the time that the arrest
I was made. 1t is on this point thai
the man may be broughs up.
