COMMERCE COURT
IS OVERRULED

In the first ceSe brought up for re-
view from the Commerce Court to the
Supreme Court of the United States,
the Judgment of the subordinate tri-
bunal has been reversed. The case
involved the validity of orders issued
by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, which required reports re
garding the operating expenses of
and operating revenues of water lines
of transportation, and affected princi-
pally lines on the Great Lakes. The
Commerce Court held that the Com
mission had power to require reports
only regarding traffic carried under
Joint arrangement with railroad car
riers and had not power to require
reports as to purely intrastate and
port-to-port business. The Supreme
Court, in an opinion by Mr.. Justice
Day, overruled this decision, holding
that mistake had been made by the
Commerce Court in confusing knowl-
edge of interstate commerce with reg
ulation of it, and that 1t was within
the power of the commission to re-
quire information regarding the whole
business, intrastate as we'll as inter
state. 1t is not without interest to
note that a couple of days before this

FOLK
CONSIDER TAXES

At a special meeting of Waialae,
Kaimul1i and Palolo Improvement
Club last night, T. NJ. Church gave an
oral report from the committee on
tax assessments. 1t was to the effect
that Tax Assessor Wilder was ready
to reduce assessments in cases where
they were obviously too high, and
would make a complete survey of the
district for next years assessment.
MI. Wilder had also promised to make
a personal examination of properties,
regarding which complaints of exces-
siye assessments had been made, to-
day. inviting representatives of the
club to meet him. The report was ac-
copied and the committee made a
permanent one for the year.
A letter to the Manoa club, propos-
ine the adoption of the plan of taxing
abutting owners for street making,
was read and the subject was made
special order of business for next
regular meeting.
G. w. r. King, chairman of the
newly appointed police committee, re-
ported some good work already done
for the preservation of law and Or
der in the district, and told of plans
for further activity where needed.
There was general discussion of
the importance of promoting harmony
in the club, which condition had been
threatened by the publication of I'M
founded sensational statements rela-
tive to mere differences of opinion on
various questions. 1t was voted that
the secretary hereafter furnish the
press with correct statements of the
proceedings of club meetings. This of
course will only apply to papers that
have not representatives of their own
present.

MURDER CASE
IN K0NA COURT

HILO, April 21--The term Of the
Kona circuit court will open tomor-
row morning at Kailua. Sheriff Pua
and County Attorney Beers have
started for the scene.
The criminal calendar will be par
ticularly interesting one, as it in
cludes the murder case of young Hen.
riques, charged with having killed
Japanese in a row over land matters
in South Kona. AS two japanese died
as a result of the row, it is possible
that two charges of murder may be
made against the young man. The
defense will probably be made on
the theory that Henriques shot in Or
der to protect his father from an at
tack on the part of the Japanese.
Another case is that of H. E. Will
son, the former principal of the Hilea
school, who is charged with serious
misconduct.
The only other cases at present
known by the county attorney are
those Of a couple of Filipinos charged
with assault with weapons. These are
Kohala cases.
