NO DECISION YET
IN BANANA CASE

Deputy Attorney General Lymer, (
who is in charge of the legal depart !
ment of the board of health, yesterday
paid a visit to Rosenberg's junk pile.
1t was found that the owner had COW
cred, with tarpaulin the scrap heap.
This was taken as an earnest that Ro-
senberg meant to comply with the law,
and no legal steps were taken in the
matter 1t may be, however, that if
the junk pile is maintained much
longer, a permanent roof will have to
be put over the sorap-iron and water
containers.
No further action has been taken in
the test banana case, but it is expect
ed that before long the matter will
come to a head. At present it is risky
. to plant bananas, as the case may be
decided against the growers.
There seems to be an idea growing
that the court will decide that, while
the destruction of bananas was justi-
fable during the yellow fever scare
time, the wiping out Of the plants
later on was not right. There seems
to be every probability of the banana
business being dropped altogether, aa
far as prosecutions go.

EXPERT FIELD WILL RECEIVE
EVERY FACILITY At CITY HALL

At a meeting of the Board of Super

was unanimously voted without debate
to grant the request of the Chamber
of Commerce, conveyed by letter, to
allow H. Gooding Field facilities for
investigating the financial affairs Of
the city and county.
The Gutter Trouble,
Kruger, for the health committee,
submitted an amendment to the build
ing ordnance to meet the desires Of
the Board of Health in regard TO house
cutters. but as it had no preamble,
enacting clause or anything to show
where it was intended to come in, no
action could be taken.
Low wanted to pass it as it stood,
and, presumably, have the trimmings
put on in process Of enactment, as the
Civic Sanitation committees work was
delayed for lack of this particular re-
lief.
Deputy Attorney Milyerton said
there was no trouble of the kind like
ly, as the part of the ordinance in
question applied to only a very lim'
tied range of buildings.
The paper submitted by Kruger
read thus:

public walk shall be constructed and
maintained in such manner as to pro.
/ tect the walls and foundation, and In
no case shall water from roofs be al
lowed to flow upon any public way OF

BRECKONS HAS KNOTTY PROBLEM
OF CITIZENSHIP TO SOLVE

United States District Attorney
Breckors is struggling with lnotty
problem to which he has not yet found
the answer.
A Chinese woman who was born in
Hawaii went to China and there mar
ried a Chinese laborer who had once
lived in Hawaii A few months after
ward the man returned to this coun-
try, leaving his wife in China. A child
was born to them. The woman and
her child remained in China for eight
years, Meantime, her husband died
and she returned to Hawaii. Now the
question is, is she a citizen of the
United States or did she, by marry
ing an alien ineligible to become citi-
zen, lose her citizenship?
If anybody can tip the United States
district attorney off to the right an
swer to the question, he viii receive
a large reward.

William KemeIamela, the young Ha-
waiian who was charged with viola
tion of the Edmunds Act, was found
guilty in the United States district
court yesterday afternoon. He got off
with very light sentence, however,
Judge Dole appearing to think that
the boy was not entirely to blame. The
sentence imposed was a fine of $25
and costs of court.
Tomorrow morning sentence viii be
passed by Judge Dole upon Lanihiwa
who was recently convicted of adul-

exceptionally fragrant one. He mar.

grown daughters, but apparently
thought that he had married both the
mother and one of the daughters. The
evidence showed that he maintained
improper relations with one of the
girls, at one time taxing her to his
mothers house to live with him, anC
later returning to his own home where
he installed the daughter in her moth
er's place.

he had sent him for experimental pur-

Information is not at hand as to

of Palmyra Island
War is averted.

War is averted.
According to history quoted by Cap

to the United States, with private own
ership by Judge Cooper In the cir
cumstances, therefore, it need play no
important part in controversy
should one ever be started on this
point
Father Rougier has already stated
that Great Britain does not want
Palmyra, as there is no harbor there.

FRUIT FLY
"I0 DI discovered
ON HAWAII

Breeding experiments Of questiona-
BILE fruit from the I'ona and TIilo dis
tricts are under way at the headquar-
ter of the fruit fly department, and it
is altogether possible that the fruit fly
may be already present in one or both
of these last named districts.
At this time Maui is the only re-
naming island to hear from. So far
no infestation has been reported from
that island, but it is only a matter of
time when the same conditions will
prevail there as elsewhere unless
drastic measures are taken by the
islanders to keep all island fruit from
entry at their way ports.
