WAS QUESTION 4
PROPER QUESTION:?
LAWYERS ARGUED LONG BUT,
ANYHOW, THE WITNESS
COULDN'T ANSWER
From saturdays Advortisar,O


"r don't remember
This answer given yesterday in Judge
Robinson court to a question put by
Attorney f. Il. Thompson to Edward
Madden, manager of Kukaiau plaAta-
ton, in the case Horner versus Homer,
set the court, lawyers, witness and con-
testants into commissions of laughter
and caused a temporary suspension Of
the hearing of the case--for the ques-
tion to which tho answer quoted was
given had been argued over very
strenuously for nearly half an hour
During the discussion the lawyers
passed various doubtful compliments
to one another, and all appeared to
enjoy it. Thompson asked, or tried to
ask, the witness, as to what converse.
tions he had with Albert Horner con-
corning the purchase of ookah by T.
II. Davies & Co., and also concerning
improvements to be made in the mill.
Judge Stanley objected and Withing-
ton objected. Wilmington sarcasticany
remarked, that the question as framed
was unintelligible and suggested that
counsel might frame his heterogeneous
so that at least the lawyers might un-
derstand them.
| every body in the court understands
the question except Mr.. Wilmington"
said Thompson cheerfully. Wilmington
and Stanley returned to the attack and
brought Wilder into the argument, and
Wilder accused Stanley Of trying to be
judge, counsel and witness all in one.
After a lot Of similar pleasantly il APP
peared that Wilmington, if ho didn'e
understand the question, was by that
time in a majority. The witness
wanted it read again. This was done,
and the battle was renewed over its
terms.
Judge Robinson finally framed q
question involving the point at issue
] and put it to the witness. When the
witness simply said he didn Z remember,
it nearly broke up the trial.
Madden was called to the stand out
of order, interrupting the orossex-
animation of Give Davies, as Madden
( wanted to leave for his home ON Ha.
wall. His testimony related to sugar
! shipments from Kukaiau, and had to do
with orders sent by local agencies for
shipments of sugar from Kukaiau.
Madden told how he had shipped tho
( sugar, and the orders sent from Homo
lulu, by the sugar factors or agents,
are to be introduced later.
/ Davies testimony continued to deal
with the relations of his firm and the
Kukaiau interests. Under cross oxami.
nation by Thompson he further denied
that the firm had tried Co buy the
Horner interests. He did not remem-
Der discussions which Thompson asked
about. He said he had been told of
the Swanzy letter opening negotiations
to buy Kukaiau, and thought he had
seen Horner's answer. He said the
matter was of so little Importance that
he didn't remember whether he had
seen the actual correspondence or not,
at the time of its being written.

MAIZENA, ARRIVES

SEVERAL HOURS.

Captain Tom Mason brought the
meat.carrying sampan Makena back to
port last night, coming in from Kehei
l in tow of the sampan Tenjin Maru,
the trip lasting many long weary hou:s.
1t was slow trip and some rough
weather was encountered SO that it was
happy crew which tied up to Fort
street wharf at seven.t thirty last even
ing.
The Makena left Honolulu at one
o. clock on the morning of Wednesday
of last week, and as she had not arrived
at Makena, whittier she was bound, by
Saturday morning, it was thought some
thing serious had happened to her and
the cutter Thetis was sent out in search
That night the little craft arrived at
Makena and reported all safe but with
disabled engine.
Captain Mason standing in the rain
at the dock last evening and putting
Justify at his pipe told the story of the
trip in few words, but in what he left
unsaid there was hint of the exposure
and WEAKNESS experienced by the three
men on board, Japanese and Ha-
waijan beside himself.

the propeller was out Of water, for there
was no way to throttle it down. At the
same time the engine stopped we lost
piece of our rudder and that made
things worse. We put up sails and tried
to beat along but could not make much
Roadway. We were from Wednesday
morning at daylight until Friday after
noon in making Kahoolawe, and we
were glad to get in where we could
make anchor for we had found it i'm
possible to get over to Makena.
AS soon as we came in and got
things snug, Eben Low had us come
ashore, and we went and had some hot
food, the first for three days. 1t tasted
good, and after we had eaten we all
went back ON board, put the anchor out
and line to shore. Then we turned in
for we had had no sleep since leaving
Honolulu.
Some time later I woke up and
heard pounding. I tried the haw-
sers we had out on the anchors and
found them both taut so believed the
noise came from the small boat hitting
our side. / went back to sleep again
but later woke up and found that we

boat and went after Eben Low. Then

getting the craft from the reef where
she had dragged from the soft bottom

We had five tons of salt on board and it
took two tons thrown overheard to
tighten her so we could get off the reef.

for the celebration of the occasion
alone. 1t was the first semi-official
public meeting of former Queen Liliu-
okalani and former President Sanford
b. Dole of the Hawaiian Republic.
The Queen was among the first ar.
rivals on the platform. As she left her
motor ear and was escorted to the
grounds the crowd of some three or four
hundred who had assembled rose quite
as though it were in the days of the
old monarchy and remained standing
until the Queen was seated in a com.

Among the many specially invited
guests who mounted the platform to
pay their respects to the Queen came
Judge Dole whose inauguration as Pres.

a throne.
"Liliuokalani is still the Queen, Z"
explained someone to a stranger in the
crowd; as it was easy for the visitor to

Judge Dole bowed formally and
CRASHED the Queens hand. A few
formal words were spoken and the

that followed the ceremonies he paid
his respects to the woman whose throne
he assisted in oyertoppling.
The program was of the usual sort
There was music by the Hawaiian band,
which played "Aioha Oe'' and cha.

the presence of the Qneen; an invoca-

DRIVEN FROM PILLAR TO POST
undesirable Women Can Find No
Refuge In Chicago.

Chicago, Oct. S.-Protests against
the advance of the undesirable" wom-
en- of the ''levee district" on the resi-
dence neighborhoods of the city were
lodged with the police at nearly every
outlying station. The situation placed
the police department in dilemma
as well as the women In question.
The police were given instructions
by Chief McWeeny to prevent the
routed vice army from entering the
residence districts and the states at
torney had previously held an inter
view with the chief seeking his coop
Grafton in keeping the places closed,
once they had been raided.
This condition placed the "undesir-
Ables" in the position of being driven
one way by the state and another by
the city. They feared arrest II they
went back to their former quarters
and faced the same fate II they tried
to find homes elsewhere.

SESSION PROMISES
To Be IMPORTANT
British Parliament ConVenes
With Much Work Ahead.

London, Oct S.-Parliament has
convened for what promises to be the
most tempestuous session in years.
Three matters of vital Importance
are to be disposed of-lrish home
rule, disestablishment of the Church
of England In Wales and election re
form.
The Liberal administration supports
all these measures. The Conserva
tives will fight them tooth and nail
Already they have fifty-five pages OF
amendments to the home rule bin on
hand, simply to delay II.
The Liberals will resist delay. how.
ever. by drastic application of the
"guillotine." which limits the time for
debate, and the kangaroo" whereby
the majority disregards frivolous
amendments.
The Church of England is part of
the aristocracy's machinery for re-
tention of power and the proposal to
rob IL OF its Off cial standing in Wales
is as offensive TO the ruling class
there as home rule is to the ruling
class" In Ireland. The election re-
form bill seeks to abolish the system
by which the aristocrats have multi.
piled the number of their own votes
about ten times and deprived the
working classes OF approximately
100000 OF theirs.
