COURT 0VERRULES HIS
POINT OF LAW

The contention made yesterday in
federal court by Judge r. p Quarles
that that court has no jurisdiction in
crime committed on the high seas
on a vessel of the Inter-Island Steam
Navigation Company, was not sustain
ed by U. S. District Judge Clemens,
who this morning. after further argu-
irent on the point, denied Quarles' mo
ton to dismiss the hearing against
Kwock Tong.
Quarles, as the Chinaman's counsel,
claimed the defendant could not be
tried for assault and battery because
the company owning the vessel on
which the alleged crime was commit
ted was organized under the old royal
Hawaii government and still doing
business under the old charter. On
denial of Quarles' motion the jury was
recalled and the hearing continued to-
day, with the gathering of testimony
from witnesses for the defsnse.
