RELIGIOUS
QUESTION
CLUB STARTS

The Religious Question Club was
citation on last Tuesday evening, l. D.
Candfield being elected president,
with Reginald Rath, secretary and
treasurer.
Thirteen members were enrolled
and the first meeting aroused con-
siderable enthusiasm. What is Re-
ligion," was the first question dis
cussed, Amos Ebersole leading the
discussion. Each of the members
submitted one or more questions to
be added to those already set down
for discussion and the future of the
Club seems assured. The club will
meet each Tuesday evening in the
Y. M. C. A. at 1880 and devote an
hour to the topic under discussion.
These meetings are discussions pure
and simple, each member joining in
or not as it suits himself. Mr.. Eber-
sole attends prepared to open each
discussion, but members who so wish
it can open on any question which
they themselves desire to have ven
tilated. Next tuesday, the members
will discuss Can we know God?" and
this discussion will be followed by
many others, including Does it do
and good to pray?" "Why is it so
easy to sin?" What do we mean by
forgiveness?" Was Jesus Divine?' and
rs man immortal?"
The social section of the Y. NJ. c..
A. has decided to cancel the Deem
Der outing, it being considered that
owing to the numerous attractions of
the month there is no need for
the committee to arrange anything in
the way of an entertainment. The
ltext outing will take place in the
new year.
Following the custom which has
spread through the associations in
America the local association procur-
ed pool table some little time ago
and this is now installed and is he.
ing constantly availed of by the mcm-
bers. The game is one that has
caught on all over the world and the
addition of the table to the y. NJ. =. A.
is no doubt having a beneficial effect.

FORT AND MERCHANT SITS.

PENDANT did not want Lightfoot as his
attorney. The bail had been fixed at
$500.
Further argument took place, and
his honor asked Lightfoot whether
the bail having been fixed at $500
was satisfactory to him.
Lightfoot said that he thought the
man should be released on his own
recognizance. He would give his
personal assurance that the man
would be on hand tomorrow morning.
His Honor declined to allow de-
PENDANT out on his recognizance.
Lightfoot said that no bonds would
be satisfactory to the District Attor-
ney. not even if they were signed by
John d. Rockefeller and such men.
Breckons said that he did all that
he was required under the act, but
that that was more than he wished to
do. He then left the courtroom smil-

HOT DISCUSSION
IN FEDERAL
COURT TO-DAY

Attorney Lightfoot, as soon as
Judge Robertson took his seat this
afternoon in the Federal Court said
some very bitter things about Dis
trict Attorney Breckons' conduct in
connection with the hearing of Goo
Yee's case.
Lightfoot began at the beginning
and told all about conversation that
he had had with District Attorney
Breckons in regard to the case. At
first Breckons had stated that the
case would be heard tomorrow morn
ing, said Lightfoot. Lightfoot asked
that it be heard today. Breckons
acquiesced, and set the time of hear
ing before the Commissioner at 1890
which was entirely satisfactory to
LightfoOt. Meeting Commissioner Da-
Wis the matter was referred to by
Lightfoot, who then learnt that the
matter had been continued until nine
o'clock, he thought it was, tomorrow
morning, at the request of Breckons.
|, Lightfoot expressed his establishment
that Breckons should have done this,
saying that he, Lightfoot, had been
retained as the defendants attorney.
He called on Breckons and expostulat-
ed with him. Breckons then inform
ed him that he was not defendants at
torney, that he had never been, and
Goo zee did not want him. AS an
officer of the court he wished to state
that he had been retained, and the
retaining fee fixed by a friend of the
defendant He asked that the amount
of bail be fixed, so that his client may
be let out.
Breckons asked, was the matter be-
fore the court? There was no such
case before the court. There was one
before the Commissioner, but it had
never. reached the court. If the man
was unlawfully in Jail, then the only
way it could reach that court was by
writ of habeas corpus.
Judge Robertson-"The Commits
sioner is only an arm of the court.
Do you mean to say that a Judge of
this court cannot fix the bail of a
MANI"
Breckons-"Only that part of that
court that is acting as Commissioner
can do it. That is the law. The
man told me that Mr.. Lightfoot was
not his attorney, that he did not de-
sire him and wanted to waive examin-
alton" Mr.. Breckons then said some
thing about not wishing to foist any
| attorney on to man.
Lightfoot said that he stood there
for decency. He holly resented the
slurs of the District Attorney. "These
things had gone on until the admins
tration under the criminal laws before
they come into this COURT desire not
to finish my sentence, may it please
the court, but prefer to leave it to the
imagination of the court. Your honor
has right to see that this kind of
practice does not take place under
the flag of the United States"
Breckons replied that the bail had
been fixed, and said something about
the remarks of the attorney being hot
air. The records showed that the de.

WOODS REPORT TO
PROMOTION COMMITTEE

The following report of Secretary
Wood was submitted this afternoon
before the meeting of the Hawaii Pro-
motion COMMITTEES:
BY the mail to hand Tuesday we re-
ceived letters from 119 different cities
throughout the United States giving
us the names and addresses of several
hundred people who ale more or less
actively engaged in working up trips
to different parts of the world and
while most of these have hitherto con-
fined their operations to the Atlantic
Coast and Europe we shall expect to
convert the majority to the belief that
the Pacific has far moro of interest to
offer and hope that this special cam
paign may result in securing many nd.
ditional workers for Hawaii as well
as for the Orient and the South Seas.
Some of the results of this special
work are shown in the following let.

Kellett took from him. Attorney Mil
verton appeared for the defendant and
the case will come up for argument on
Monday next. The action hinges up
on the right of police officers to take
and hold any property in the posses
sion of accused persons at the time
of their arrest and even after arrest.
Mcbride contends that the police had
no authority to ta..e the $40 in this
case, Milverton will bring authorities
to show they had.

than was expected should have only
8 temporary effect upon the security
markets. The plain lessons of the
election are that the country desires
real tariff revision and is tired of
in it's various forms. Judg-
ing by the types of men who have
been successful in the present cleo
ton, the country is politically sane
and prefers leaders OF proved intelli-
renee, character and sobriety to those
who stir up discomfort and prejudice.
1t must now be accepted that the
tariff will be leading issue when the
new Congress convenes. No immedi-
ate revision, however, is likely, be-
cause the new members do not take
their seats until year hence and the
