MARRIED infant
SAYS The COURT
Mrs. Beatrice Campbell BeCkley
Did Not Escape Minority by
Becoming a Wife.

The appeal to the supreme court on
a reserved question from the circuit
Judge of the first circuit, in the case
of Mary Beatrice Campbell Beckley VS..
Cecil Brown, H. NJ. Won Holt and A. n.
Campbell, trustees of the estate of the
late James Campbell, was settled yes
terday morning, when a decision was
handed down.
The syllabus stated that notwith-
standing the marriage of female in
FAINT her disability of minority contin-
ued until she attained the age of eigh-
teen years.
The opinion was by Judge De Bolt.
He stated that on August 10 last, the
plaintiff fled her bill in equity for an
accounting and distribution against the
defendants. On the following day the
defendants filed a plea in abatement,
alleging that the plaintiff was not eigh-
teen years of age, and would not be
seventeen until October II next. Inas-
much as the proceedings were not
brought ON behalf of the plaintiff by a
next friend or other representative le-
gally entitled to act ON her behalf, they
prayed Judgment OF the writ and bill
and that they be quashed
The circuit judge reserved for the
consideration of the court the question
whether the plea in abatement was good
in law and should be sustained. In 9th
er words, was the plaintiff IS disability
of minority removed by her marriage
At common law the disability OF
minority of females, as well as males
continued until the age of twenty'one
In this Territory such disability con
tinued until eighteen.
The language of the statute with re
gard to the attainment of legal age was
general and applied alike to all fe
males whether married or single. Their,
was no exception in favor of those whC
married before attaining the age OF
eighteen.
If the disability of minority contin
ued as TO a female until she reached tn
age Of eighteen, Notwithstanding he
marriage before that age had bee
reached, and the court was clearly o
the opinion that such disability did cor
time, il followed necessarily that tn
plaintiff did not possess the necessar
legal capacity 70 institute the suit an
she could not maintain II.
The plea in abatement in the opinio
OF the court was good in law and shoul
be sustained. The question reserves
therefore, was answered in the affirm
tive.

VIM. BECELEY IS
NOW IN CUSTODY
Employe Of PosiotiiCe for Fifteen
Years Charged With Steal
Ing Twenty Dollars.

On a warrant charging him with
stealing 500, property Of United States
postofIice department. William Beckley
was yesterday morning arrested by Uni.
ted States Marshal Hendry and is now
in custody.
BccISley is one Of the night men on
duty at the stamp and money.order win
dow Of the postofiiee here in the city,
going to work at one in the morning
and being on duty until nine o'clock,
the time that the regular money-order
department opens for business.
According to the information obtain
ed, it seems that he took the money
last Thursday or Friday night, it being
alleged that Sam Kanoe, another EN-
ploye of the office was the loser by the
speculation.
Kanoe is the man on watch who
precedes Beckley, going off duty at one
in the morning when the latter comes
on.
1t is stated that Beckley has been
gambling considerably during the past
few months, one of the times being at
the Maui horse races on July 4, where
he lost considerable money.
This one arrest may help clear up
the mystery of the disappearance OF
$500 which was lost after leaving Lei
lehua for Honolulu several months ago
although it is not thought Beckley
could have any direct knowledge of
this
In fact he was on vacation at the
time, according to the statements of
other employees of the office, and so he
could have known nothing about it,
although he was questioned thoroughly
at the time.
1t seems that something must be
wrong with the local office with three
money losses, including the one from
the mail of the TenyO Maru of 500
consigned to a local bank, within a
short time.
The postofice officials had little tc
say about the matter yesterday but
they believe they have a good case
against the accused man.
He has been an employe of the office
for the past fifteen years, and was re
garded as one of the most efficient IL
the service.

KAEAAEO BLIND
PIGS IN DROVES
The License Commissioners Hear
Some interesting Reports
Dealers on Carpet.

From Saturdays Advertiser.l
There was long session Of the ii.
cense commissioners yesterday after
noon in the senate chamber. Willard
Brown presided and there were present
C. II. Cooke, j. II. Craig o. L. soren.
son and c. A. Long. Although not one
OF the matters taken mp was finished,
the meeting was highly interesting
one and served TO show the apparent
opsnness with which blind pigs arc be-
ing run in the Kakaako district The
question of whether the records of the
Rosa wholesale house were true or not
was the only real business before the
meeting, and it was during the hearing
of this matter that the Kakaako illicit
selling was referred to. Mr.. Rosa cal
culated at moment IS notice that there
were between two and three dozen
blind pigs
Inspector Fennell was an interested
spectator, and he seemed to absorb n
lot of information for future use. One
memt er of the commission has an idea
that some hackmen found it more
profitable to carry booze than passen-
gers, and he suggested that by watch
ing this class of hackmen blind pigs
would be revealed.
The first matter before the commits
sioners was the withdrawal of the ap-
plication from Kakaako for saloon
license.
ATTORNEY Douthitt appeared in con-
nation with the application for con-
tinuance of license for the Mint Sa-
loon. This has been rendered neces-
sary by the death OF partner Wagner.
Gonsalves, the other partner, has made
the application.
Mr.. Douthitt stated that telegram
had been sent TO the Mint Saloon, ap-
prising Mr.. Gonsalyes of the death of
Mr.. Wagner, which occurred on the
Coast in the early part of this month.
This was all that he knew about the
matter. Mrs Wagner, who would ar
rive on the Sierra on Friday next, has
no other means of income but the pro-
ceeds from the saloon. The death of
Wagner dissolves the partnership. Mr..
Coke was the attorney, so that Mr..
Douthitt did not know much about the
matter. He, therefore, asked that it
be allowed to stand over until Mrs.
Wagner arrives. Whether Wagner died
intestate or not, was not known yet.
Possibly Mrs. Wagner would bring a
will with her. But he did not thing
that it was fair to make an application
for temporary letters of administration,
and besides they might not serve any
good purpose,
Gonsalves' letter to the commission
ers was read, in which he stated that,
according to the partnership agreement,
it would be the duty of the surviving
partner to close up the partnership.
The matter was allowed to remain
over until the next meeting of the com
missioners.

Fine new grounds have been bought
by the Hawaiian Evangelical Associa-
ton for Kalihi Settlement, and it is
intended to extend the work in that
district in more comprehensive man
ner than ever before. The securing of
these premises marks red letter day
in the history of the settlement.
With this recent purchase of the prop
erty, which adjoins the old Lloyd home
stead on King street, in Kalihi, from
the Lloyd Estate, the Kalihi Settlement
now has grounds large enough for all
its important work in that district.
There will be a baseball field, tennis
court, croquet ground and swimming
bath and there viii be room for all of
the new buildings needed.
This important purchase was made by
the board of Hawaiian Evangelical AS
sociation ON the recommendation of
Messrs. Jones, Oleson, Horne, Seudder
and Chamberlain, as committee which
! investigated the needs of the settlement
work. The securing of this property
was made possible by the generosity of
number of the prominent citizens of
Honolulu, and especially Peter Cushman
Jones, who is known as the "father
OF the Kalihi Settlement, and of G.. \
Wilcox.
The Kalihi Settlement is a grandchilt
of Central Union Church, through the
Palama Settlement, and of Kaumaka
pill Church The Rev. Mr.. Erdman
then pastor of the Palama Mission anC
assistant pastor of the Central UnioI
Church, began the work in Kalihi in ;
tent. Later it was taken up by w. X
Poai, pastor of the Kalihi Moanalu'
Church, when he secured through tn
Hawaiian board the services of Rev. II
w. Chamberlain to take up the Englisl
speaking work of the settlement.
r 1t was in 1906 that Mr.. Chamberlai
began work in Kahili and the scope q
the work grew rapidly. In Januar!

Taft Asserts He will Not Line Up
With Any Republican
Faction.
REPRESENTS ENTIRE PARTY
COnfesses He Is Poor Politician
and Was Ambitious to Be
Chief Justice.

PEORIA, Illinois, September 2S.--
AS the guest of the Illinois state cen
trail committee at banquet in this
city. last evening, President Taft made
a number of interesting explanations
and especially an outline as to his
stand in the coming campaign.
The President asserted that hereafter
he intends to represent his party as
whole and will not line up with any
faction. He will he states, take the
middle of the road between the conser'
vatives, or stand-patters, and the pro
gressives, or insurgents.
Poor Politician.
The President admitted that he him
self was poor politician and may have
made many mistakes, but added that
he had not been brought up as a politi-
clan and was not familiar with politi-
cal tricks of all kinds.
His Real Ambition.
His ambition, he said, had been to
become chief justice of the United
States Supreme Court, but when he
was offered the nomination for Presi
dent of the United States he felt thai
it was his duty to accept, and he ha,
been guided since by this sense of dat!
to the country ever since.
