COMMON LAW MARRIAGE
ATTACKED IN DIVORCE CASE

Is a woman who lives with a man
without benefit of clergy" who Tor
ten long years is known to the world,
and so recognized and introduced by
him, as his wife, who looks after his
home and after him-is such a wo-
man really the wife of the man, or
only his plaything to be cast aside
when he tires of her? In other words,
is there any such thing in Hawai-. as
common law marriage?
This is the point that has been
raised in Judge Whitney's court in
the matter of the suit for divorce
brought by Miriam Lewis against ,.
H. Lewis, manager of Loveioy &
Company. Lewis, through his attor-
ney, Lorrin Andrews, claims that the
woman is not and never was his wife,
although he has lived with her foc
about ten years as such.
Andrews filed general demurrer,
which was argued this morning, J. A.
Magoon and Clem Quinn appearing
for the lbellant. The demurrer was
overruled, but during the course OF
the argument the question of whether
or not the courts of Hawaii recognize
any such thing as a common law mar
riage came up. The attorneys for the
libellant claimed that the supreme
court has passed upon the question,
in the case of Alice Godfrey versus
Frank Godfrey, in which the court
held a common law marriage to be
valid
This point, however, will be thor
oughly threshed out on the motion
hled by the attorney for the libellee
for an order to show cause, in effect
to prove that any marriage ever took
place.
In her libel for divorce Mrs. Lewis
charges Dave Lewis with having

J.. S. JURISDICTION
IS CHALLENGED

The trial of Salvador Lopez, charged
with rape on a government reserva-
ton, the Moili;li quarry, which was
begun in the United States court this
morning, is important chiefly in that
IT involves a point of jurisdiction
which the prosecuting department is
very anxious to have determined.
The court has already held, in the
case of John McMahon, recently con.
victed of the slaughter of Cederlof,
that it has jurisdiction over govern
ment reservations like Leilehua that
have been acquired by proclamation.
But the present matter of Jurisdiction
Is different in that the Moiliin quarry,
where the crime is alleged to have
been committed is only leased to the
government The defense has raised
the question of the jurisdiction of the
court, which gives the case greater
importance than 1t would otherwise
have. United States District Attorney
Breckons says similar cases are liza

WORKS
RUSHED AHEAD

Secretary Harvey, of the Maui
Loan Fund commission. has writer
the superintendent of public works to
the effect that the contracts for the
erection of the new school houses
have been signed up.
From Kauai comes a communica-
ton from d, j. Jarvis. who offers to
do some grading and road work in
the Kapaa district for the sum of
$4O3.95, which is all that is availabl
just now. The superintendent decid
ed this morning to let Jarvis have
the job.
Other public works are progress
ing well, and the Waipilopilo sewer
system is being rapidly rushed ahead
The superintendent of public works
may not go to Maui this week. Hc
at first planned to do so, but had to
alter his plans, and possibly will not
visit the Valley Island for some
weeks to come.

CIVIC SANITATION
MEETING TODAY

This afternoon at three-thirty
O'Clock, the Civic Sanitation Commit.
tee will meet in the Governors office.
The meeting will be an important one.
The financial report that is to be
turned in will show how much money
has been expended on the mosquito
campaign. These figures have been
published previously in the Star, and,
in round numbers, the cleaning up
cost s7S,5OO.
The mosquito campaign is still be-
ing conducted, but is now down to a
permanent basis The present cost
per month is $4,000, and DR.. Mccoy is
in control of the movement.
1t may be decided upon to continue
the mosquito inspection work of the
future, under the more direct control
of the Board of Health. The panic

James A. Barton, a clerk in the
employ of Benson, Smith & Co., Ltd,
committed suicide at Vida villa on
Saturday by taking poison.
A small bottle with a drop of whs-
ky in the bottom was the only thing
found by Deputy Sheriff Rose which
might have contained poison. This
bottle was standing on a bureau in
the room in which Barton killed him
self.
The following note was found in
the room, dated 1920 p. m:
Dearest Girl: You are the only
one who knows why l die tonight. I
hope you and the damn Dago will be
happy. Goouby, and God bless you
until we meet face to face in hell,

DIR. MCCOY WILL
VISIT MOLOKAI

DR.. Mccoy will leave for Molokai
tomorrow morning, and he will be alb
sent from Honolulu for some days.
The doctor intends inspecting the
Federal leprosarium and looking over
the settlement
DR.. Mccoy has been busy lately on
both mosquito work and investiga-
tions at the Kalihi Hospital. He de-
clares that he wishes very much that
experiment work regarding leprosy
were being carried on at the Federal
leprosarium, as well as in Honolulu.
Competition would spur the investi-
gators on, says DR.. Mccoy.
If it can be arranged, DIR. Trotter
will accompany DR.. Mccoy on the
trip to Molokai. The successor TO
Dr. Ramus is anxious to see the
Molokai settlement, and also to see
what has been done at the proposed

other Clubs to Cooperate.
1t is the intention of the leaders of
the Manoa Club to make the PROPOSE
tion a city-wide movement. The Cen
trail Improvement Committee will
probably be asked to lend its support,
and the various district clubs will also
he enlisted if possible.
The movement is one which may
develop opposition from those who
expect the government" to do every
thing in the way of public improve
ments and pay for it from the COM
mon fund, but it will no doubt appeal
to such sections as Manoa, where the
residents are progressive and have
pride enough in their district to want
to have it just a little better in ap-
pearance than any other section in
the city. The Manoa people say it
will stimulate this kind of civic
pride. ?.

task to which the Manoa Improve

1t is understood that the Manoaites

their own initiative without having to
wait upon public funds, or the good

KEAAU SCHOOL
IS OvERCROWDED

There appears to be considerable
crowding at the Keaau, Olaa, school,
and the principal, Miss Ward, has
written to the superintendent of pub

done in the matter.
1t seems that the third grade chill
dren are being instructed in the Jap
anese school building at present. This
is not thought to be desirable, as the
class and its teacher are away from
the immediate vicinity of the princi-
pal of the school.
The superintendent will put the
letter from the principal on record,
and the county of Hawaii will be
asked to provide additional rooms at

the primary election of Saturday on

ever, is assured of ninety-two (92)
delegates out of one hundred and six

leaders can afford to smile at the
boasting of the Kuhio leaders in Ho-

are committed to an instructed dele
cation as well as to an understanding
that the Kuhio-Frear controversy

SAYS ALBERT HORNER
OFFERED TO SELL KUKA|AU

F. M. Swanzy, testifying on behalf
of the defense in the case of Albert
Horner versus Robert Horner this
morning, made the interesting asser-
tion that never, to his knowledge, had
T. H. Davies or anybody connected
with or representing the firm, offered
or attempted, either directly or indi-
rectly, to buy the shares of Robert
Horner in Kukaiau plantation, nor had
there been any negotiations along
that line.
Mr.. Swanzy made the equally sensa-
tional statement that Albert Horner,
in 1905, did exactly the thing he is
now accusing his brother of doing;
he tried to sell his interest in Kukaiau

ton proceedings. Danger to such un-
derstanding would come from a pre-
ponderance of Kuhio factionalists in
the convention, making it open to any
jealous follower to precipitate the
controversy. Much, it is felt, will de-
pend on the election of the temporary
chairman, who will appoint the com
mittee on rules to govern the conven-
tion, yet even here there is the LA
bility of amendment of that commit
tees report

1T seems as if the original object

cation Of six, instructed for Taft will
go to the convention
Regarding a special session, the
Governor once more stated that the
calling of the legislature did not de-
pend on the sanitary report of the
commissioners at all. There are, of
course, matters connected with the
report, that will have weight when
the question of special session
comes up. The Governor, however,
plainly stated today that nothing had
been done regarding a special session
up till now.
There are no laws that could al
low of the recommendations of the
commission being carried out" said
the Governor, "and it might be bet
ter to leave everything to the regu-
lar session. Hasty legislation might
result, if a special session were call
ed"
The Governor denied rumor that
he might be leaving for the mainland
in the near future. His family is
there but the Governor will not be
leaving for some time to come.

at this time as an accommodation, it
being understood that he wishes to
leave the city. Albert Horner, who
had occupied the chair of inquisition
for three days, was temporarily with
drawn to make way for Mr. Swanzy.

length. There is nothing that might
be called rapid in the examination Of

mony relates to documents that have
to be read by the lawyers first and
then to the court All this takes time,

treated her with extreme cruelty and

The case is one of the most sensa-

the local courts in considerable
time, and if it goes to trial on its
merits, some very interesting facts
