900 each, which bail Henry gumped.
The Jurisdiction Question.
The question Of whether the federal
authorities have jurisdiction over peo-
pie who commit offenses on military
reservations, may be settled this morn
ing by Judge Clemens.
This question was raised In the case
of Knuichi Motohara, charged with
having stabbed another Japanese at
Leilehua. The case was rested yester-
day morning after Lieutenant Cunning
ham had given formal evidence with
regard to the area Of the reservation.
Attorney Ozawa, who appeared for
tho defendant, presented tho point that
tho federal court had no Jurisdiction
over offenses committed on military
reservations. His presentation was an
excellent one, and as the question in
vOlved is important, the district at
torney is looking forward TO it being
settled once and for all. Mr.. BTeekOns
pointed out that tho matter should be
settled, az the increasing number OF
soldiers coming hore made it very de-
sirable that It should be known wheth-
or the court has jurisdiction OF not.
Judge Clemens took the matter nm
der Amusement, and might give his do
cision out this morning.
