NAHUKA MATTER
UP TO MACVEAGH
w. R. Castle Urges requirement
Of Fort Street Extension
Hepburn Against.
BY Ernest G. walker.

(Mail Special to The Advertiser.)
WASHINGTON, November 1s.--A
conference about the site for the new
public building in Honolulu was held
today with assistant secretary of the
treasury hules. Col. "PeteV Hepburn,
former congressman from Iowa, was
present to represent several property
holders who are protesting against the
acquisition of the remainder of the
block where the government now owns
site. Hon. w. r. Castle, of Homo
lulu, came to Washington from Boston
to champion the acquisition of this ad-
ditional land. Former Judge f. NJ.
Hatch and George b. Mcclellan we're
also present.
Mr.. McClellai pointed out that the
appropriation for the site was first
voted three and half years ago and
friends of the Territory bad begun
working for il six years ago. If the
condemnation of the additional ground
was refused and an effort made to get
another Site it would probably be
three years more before work on the
building would begin.
Mr.. Castle urged the central location
and the advantages to the city and to
the patrons of the Office in acquiring
the proposed additional ground. 1t was
finally announced that the matter
would be passed on to Secretary of the
Treasury MacVeagh, Mr.. Mcclellan is
to have talk with the secretary this
week
1t looks as though Assistant Seere-
| tary Hilles were averse to acquiring
the additional ground but the outcome
remains uncertain.
The nomination of a collector of in
ternal revenue for Honolulu is still in
allegiance. 1t is said that the Presi-
dent will probably name some one of
the candidates from the Islands. Since
the elections the fortunes of Charles
A. Cotterill, of Toledo, have not been
looking up.
The Kahului Improvement contract is
still in statu quo.

THREE UNSTAMPED
TINS OF OPIUM
CAUSE ARREST

Three tins of opium and STA in
cash are in the possession of United
States District Attorney Breekons, and
this morning the Chinaman who paid
the STA for the three tins of un.
stamped dope VIII also be in the Gus
tody of United States Marshal Hendry.
The three items form the thread of a
peculiar story which will yet be heard
in the federal court.
About a month ago prominent Chi
nese approached prominent white man
and asked the latter if he knew where
and how he might obtain a few tins
of unstamped opium. The white man
didn t know-at least just then. The
Chinaman came to him again and sug-
gested that if he knew where the dope
could be obtained good gold coin would
be ready for it.
The white man laid the matter be.
fore Collector of Customs Stackable
and the latter agreed to take the mat
ter up and find out why the Chinaman
wanted the three tins of unstamped
opium. The white man was approach
ed by the Chinaman again and this time
the white man said he believe he could
get the stuff He arranged with Mr.
Stackable for three decoy tins and they
were passed over.
Yesterday the transaction was made
and the Chinaman received the three
tins, paying over the $ll4. The China
man was trailcd to his home and last
night Breckons made the seizure

CRUISER LENA
DRAGGED INTO
SUIT IN COURT

SAN FRANCISCO, November 16.-
Secret attempts during the Russo-Japa-
nese war by the commander of the
Russian auxiliary cruiser Lena to pro
vision his ship for a voyage to Vladi-
vostolt, from supplies intended for the
United States Navy, have been reveal
ed in the trial of suit in Judge
Hunt s court.
The Barneson-nIbberd Company is
trying to collect damages of $34S5.23
from the John Rothschild company, to
which the Barneson company agreed to
furnish 1896 tons of Cardiff coal for
use on the warship Lena. Macondray
& Co. acted as agents in the transac'
ton, which would have given the Lena
1000 tons of coal consigned to the Bre-
merton Navy Yard.
The Lena put into San Francisco Bay
in October, 1905, during the height of
the Russo-Japanese war. Her coal
supply was exhausted and the crew
were on half rations. For several
weeks it was uncertain whether the
United States government would permit
her to sail from a neutral harbor to
take part in the fighting. 1t was con-
sidered improbable that the government
would sell coal and supplies to her, even
if she was allowed to sail.
Afiidavits introduced today show that
the Lena's captain entered into an
agreement with John Rothschild s. Co
by which the company was to deliver
about 200 tons of coal. To fill the or
der, the Rothschild company contracted
with Macondray & Co., agents for the
Barneson-Hibberd Company, for 1000
tons of coal from the French bark
Duplex. This vessel had unloaded all
but 1000 tons of her cargo at the Mare
Island navy yard, and was to deliver
the remainder at the Bremerton yard
Instead, her coal was placed in light
ers and towed alongside of the Lena
which lay at California City. But in
stead of accepting the coal contracted
for in this way, the Lena s commander
applied to Rear Admiral Bowman II
McCalla at Mare Island, for govern
ment coal, and the latter gained tn,
consent of the navy department to fur
nish it,
Rothschild & Co. and the Barneson
Hibberd Company were left holding tn
bag, and are now contesting to deter
mine which shall pay the expense o
furnishing lighters for coal that event
ually went where it belonged-to tn
Bremerton navy yard.
That the sale of contraband of wa
to the Lena was investigated by th
navy department at the time was show
by Rear7Admiral McCalla IS affidavit
in which he said that he reported
the bureau of equipment rumors tina
the Lena was taking on supplies fror
a lighter at California City.

PROGRESS
MADE IN CONTEST
Points Of Law Subject Of Argu-
ment Before Supreme
Court.
tFrom Wednesdays Advcrtiser.9

(From Wednesdays Advertiser.9
The legal arguments preliminary to
a decision as to the fate Of the chair
of the mayor of Honolulu commenced
before the supreme court yesterday
morning, the mooted question being the
right of Mayor Joseph J. Fern to con
tinue to sit in 1t after January 4 next.
The first question which came up for
argument was on n point of procedure,
George A. Davis, as spokesman for the
Republican legal talent present, con
tending that the demurrer which was
presented by w. w. Thayer was not In
order.
1hayer answered by saying that the
rules of the court demanded that all
motions should be made in writing and
after consultation the court decided to
order recess until the afternoon to
permit Davis to put his motion in that
form.
After the afternoon session had com
menced and argument was heard, the
court held that the demurrer was proper
and the rest of the day was taken up
in arguing it. Thayer and @. w. Ash
ford, representing the Democratic COM

case at length, relying chiefly on the
decision of the supreme court two years
ago in Kulili's action against Fern.
The court at that time decided that
unless the protest involved enough
votes to change the result of the cleo
tion it would not be considered. The
Democrats now contend that Lane IS
petition to unseat Fern does not assert
or prove that there were enough votes
illegally cast in KakaaKo to invalidate
the election and that therefore the con-
test is of no purpose.
Thayer brought up a point of law
that will be extensively argued before
the case is ended when he claimed
that the polling place did not mean the
booth and when the statute said that
the polling place must close at FIVE
o clock it did not say that all those
within it who had not voted could not
cast their ballots.
George Davies, who with Albert F.
Judd and George Curry are looking
after the interests of the Republicans,
then answered Thayer and he will be
followed by Judd this morning. An
imposing array of authorities were
brought forward to refute Thayer IS
claims and election decisions from
Maine to Louisiana were quoted to show
that the voting after hours was clearly
illegal.
The case will probably continue all
of today and a decision be reserved
until later in the week

Senator Hale Declares Political

impossible.
FoREsEES SURE DEADLOCK
Believes Sixty-SeCond Congress
will Do Nothing Except Fight
for Politics.

WASHINGTON, November 90 -
There will be no tariff legislation In
the coming congress, according to the
prediction of Senator Eugene Hale of
Maine who has served in the senate
longer than any other member of that
body and whose knowledge politically
is regarded as deeper than that of any
politician at the Capitol.
The veteran senator announced yes
terday that he foresaw little that could
be accomplished by the sixty-second
congress, with the house in strong
Democratic control and the senate and
the executive in Republican hands. He
inclined to the belief that the Demo.
Gratis, flushed with their unexpected
overwhelming victory would attempt
some radical Democratic measures,
which would be blocked in the senate,
producing deadlock in which nothing
would be done.
The senator was emphatic in his
statements regarding the tariff, declar-
ing that that would be one thing above
all others that could not be altered
while the existing political conditions
prevail.

D'HERBLAY SUIT is
LOST BEFORE COURT
(FrOm Wednesday 5 Advortiser.l }


Charles G. Macomber may keep the
Kahuku ranch as far as Emile L.
d D'Herblay is concerned, decision
handed down from the supreme court
yesterday by Associate Justice De Bolt
holding that court of equity has no
jurisdiction to recognize the promis-
sorry notes which Emilie d 'Herblay
claim were given her by Col. Samuel
Norris as lien on the estate of Ma.
comber.
The commencement of this suit, short
ly after Norris had died after deciding
over his immense properties to Ma
comber for a dollar, was under sensa-
tional circumstances, as it brought up
a phase of the little known past life
of the erratic Hawaiian ranchman.
Mystery has clung to the case from
the start, as the claimant, acting
through attorneys, must be if alive, an
old woman, utterly unknown to any in
Hawaii.
The lower court held that it had no
jurisdiction in the matter, its view be-
ing upheld by the decision rendered
yesterday.

FINAL CHAPTER IN
HONOLULU HONEYMOON

SANTA BARBARA, November 19.-
Divorce proceedings brought in far-off
Paris have separated Mrs. Anne Stow
Eithian from her husband, Barrett Filth
ian, both of whom are prominent in
local smart society. Meager reports of
the divorce give no intimation of the
grounds on which the decree was OBJ
tained in France.
The Fithians both come of very prom
inent families. Mrs. Fithian is the
daughter of the late William Stow, a
! San Francisco attorney. Her sister,
Kate, was recently in the divorce courts
here, where she obtained separation
| from her husband, Charles Ealand, a
business man of Santa Barbara.
Barrett Fithian is the son of the late
j. H. Fithian, a prominent figure in
New York in the days of the Tweed
'ring." He was a brother-in.law of
the Boss, and left New York when
the Tweed political gang was exposed.
The divorced husband is a brother-in-
law of Chester Arthur, son of the for
mer president.
Following their marriage, Mr.. and
Mrs. Fithian went on yacht cruise in
the Pacific with party of friends, and
strange tales came back of the start
ling adventures of the trip. Reports
got about that Fithian had ruled his
ship like bucko-mate, driving over
board with a revolver some members
of the crew who incurred his displeas
ure. Some of them saved themselves
only by climbing TO ropes trailing along
in the wake of the vessel. The guests
had enough of sea life by the time the
first port was reached and disembarke(
i at Honolulu.

WASHINGTON, November IS
There will be new figures of dominant
interest and influence over Hawaiian
affairs at the Capitol, when the new
congress comes in. The oldtime Re.
publican friends of the Territory will
no longer be paramount there, although
they can stin help the Territory in get
ting measures through. The new Speak
er will probably be Champ Clark. He
is tolerably friendly to Hawaii. Rep
resentative james 7. Lloyd, who car
undoubtedly be chairman of the Terri
tories committee, to which much Ha
waiian business goes, if he wishes, is
not only a Missourian, like Mr.. Clark
but is his close personal and political
friend.
As Mr.. Lloyd stands high among
house Democrats and has been chair
man of the Democratic congressional
committee, he may get some more inn
portant committee chairmanship than
that on Territories. While he has been
conservative, Mr.. Lloyd has always
been student of Hawaiian legislation
before the house and has helped mate
rally Mr.. Hamilton, OF Michigan who
has been the committee chairman for
years, viii 90 to the minority of the
committee. James w. Good, of Iowa, a
Republican who has taken considerable
part in the enactment of Hawaiian leg
islatiop, has been reelected and prob
ably win be on the minority of Terri
tories. The Republican membership of
the committee, of course, will be de-
creased very mach, but some of the
present members like Representatives
George N. Southwick, of New York,
John NJ Reynolds, of Pennsylvania
and William ], Moxley, of Illinois, have
failed of denomination or of reelection.
Not Partisan Bills.
If Mr.. Lloyd should not care for the
craftsmanship, Representative Ezekiel S
Gambler, ,Tr.,y of Mississippi, would be
the ranking man most likely for the
Job. OF course it is to be borne in
mind that Hawaiian bills before the
territorial committee have rarely beer
considered in partisan way. TherC
has in recent years been decidedly
friendly attitude on both sides of tn,
committee table toward the Territory
Quite as much is true of the senat
committee on Pacific Islands and Port,
Rico, which will also be reorganized a
the beginning of the next congress al
ter March 4. 1t will still be dominated
at least nominally, by Republicans, bu
the membership will be largely ne,
men. Senator Depew, of New Yorl
the present chairman, will not be T,
elected to the senate, as the legisl;
ture in the Empire State win be Dem,
cratic. Senator NJ. f. Clapp, of Nil
nesota, who would be entitled to III
chairmanship, will not want it, as /
is now chairman of the Indian commi
tee, a better assignment. AS Senator
Flint, of California, Piles of Washin,
ton, and Warner, of Missouri, clos
their terms of service March 4, it looh
as though Senator Henry A. Richar,
son, of Delaware, would become II
chairman. The Democratic membershi
will remain about as at present.
