MANDAMUSNOT
Binding upon
GOV. PINKHAM
lcontlnued from page one)

tory stands upon q different footing
from those of the states wherein 1t is
held that mandamus does not lie
against the governor, is not worthy Of
any consideration.
THE fundamental principles Of gov
ernment in the territory are identical
~ the same as those Of the states re
ferred to- declares the brief. "The
methods and manner of'appointing OF
electing governor do not in any way
affect these principles. 7.
Admitting for the purpose of argu
ment that mandamus does lie against
the governor, we contend that 1t can
not issue in the present case for va,
rious reasons, one being that the al
legged duties sought to be enforced
here are discretionary"

The brief goes on to say that ac-
cording 20 section 241 Of the Revised
Laws of 1915, public lands can only be
leased, sold or otherwise disposed of
by the commissioner Of public lands
-by and with the authority of the
governor"

the enaction of the Organic Act, was
in effect made part of said Organic
Act by that portion of section 73 there
of, which reads that the laws of Ha-
waii relating to public lands !.

continue In force until Congress shall
otherwise proyide.'
I'VE do not admit for one moment
that the general duties in regard to
the opening of public lands sought to
be enforced in this case are the proper
subjects for mandamus."
1t is the contention of the respond

many varying circumstances.

spondents to say whether or not the
requisite number of qualified persons

Bringing back to New Zealand from
the war zone wrecks of humanity who
were formerly the strength and pride
Of the great colony, the big Union
liner Maheno, now in use as hospital
ship, is due to arrive at New Zea-
land next Monday, December 13, with
wounded New Zealand volunteers
classified as the "cot cases. men
crippled for life from wounds receiy-
ed in the European war.
This news was brought to Honolulu
today by Second Officer A. w. Wynn
Williams of the Canadian-Australasian
liner Makura, which arrived at 8:45
this morning from Sydney and way
ports and sailed at 1890 this safter-
noon for Vancouver, taking mail and
passengers from here.
The Maheno left Southampton Oc-
tober TO-" he said. ''She is the first
hospital ship to bring back the worst
Of the New Zealand volunteers wound
ed from the war zone. Several trans.
ports have brought the slightly wound
ed back to Australia. but she has the
cot cases'--men who are. not able to
walk or sit up. Many OF them are
invalids and cripples and will be so
for life. The Maheno was one Of our
Union liners before she was comman-
deered with the Mariana for use as
q hospital ship. We have heard moth
ing as to when she will be given
back to the company for passenger
use again."
Mr.. Wynn-Williams said the Natal
and Moana, two Union line ships, are
now running from San Francisco to
Wellington, New Zealand, only until
the Mariana can return to the San
Francisco-Sydney run. The two re-
maining ships are making the shorter
run in an effort to maintain a regular
schedule. Australia passengers are
transferred to New Zealand-Australia
ships of the Union line on arrival at
