WINS;
RECLAMATION
TO GO AHEAD

The supreme court today handed
down a decision in favor of the terri
tory in the Injunction suit brought
against it by Cecil Brown, involving
the big Kewalo irrigation project.
This decision definitely gives the ter
ritory the right to proceed with the
improvement as originally contemplat-
ed and the active work, contract for
which was let some time ago to the
Lord-Young Engineering company.
may now begin, at the earliest moment
possible. -..
The courts decision sustains the
territory's demurrer to the suit for
Injunction brought by Cecil Brown,
who sought to restrain the territory
and the Lord-Youngt company from
undertaking this work, AS a proper
ty-owner Mr.. Brown contended the
government, in following out its plan,
would be violating the fifth amend
ment of the constitution, in taking
private property for public use with
out just compensation. This was
based on the proposal of the territory
to make the projected fill of low
lands in the Kewalo district, assess
ing the cost against the property af
fected, and if the owners should not
pay, then to take the land itself in
payment.
In it's synopsis the courts decision
states:
Chapter SO of the Revised Laws, as
amended, relating to the improvement
or lands which are in an insanitary or
dangerous condition, or deleterious to
the public health, is health measure
enacted in pursuance of the police
power, and in providing that the work

AS to the right of trial by jury, one
OF Browns contentious, the decision
sets forth:

said chapter the land owner snot en-
titled, under the Seventh Amendment
of the Constitution, to trial bfore a

The presence Of several small sail
ing craft or fishing vessels laying of
Bird Island has caused local Federal
officials to incline to the belief that
one or more bird poaching parties
are at work on the United States
reservation, set aside some time ago
by special enactment at Washington.
The Pacific Mail liner China, from
Hongkong by the way OF Japan ports

It has been some months since the

of mainland scientists were landed at
Laysan island, where they carried on
an extended research, and made a
careful study of bird life as found
there.
The party returned to Honolulu
during the summer Of 1911 and the
Thetis then prepared to proceed to
Alaska for a summer cruise.

The price of milk has been raised

Honolulu is undergoing a flour fam
inc. Not many people have been
aware of this fact, but it has become
so serious that the bakeries have had
to call on Hilo to supply them with
the material for the staff of life. This
accounts for the big loads of flour the
Mauna Kea has been carrying from

Oliver Flippo of Mt. Vernon, super
intendent of the semaphore system of
the B. and o. railroad on this divi-
sion, was held up at the point of re-
volyer in the hands of burly negro.
Tuesday night while attending to his
duties in this city.
The hold-up occurred just east of
the city limits between the switch
shanty at the east end of the yards
and the NIX tower. Mr.. Flippo was
looking after the semaphores in that
vicinity when he was suddenly con
fronted by monstrous gun held by
the black fist of a burly negro.
The negro demanded his valuables
and as Flippo stood reaching for the
stars in the heaven, the negro went
through his pockets. He relieved his
victim of valuable gold watch and
two railroad passes and with warn
ing not to follow him, he left Mr.
Fiippo and disappeared in the dark
ness.
