To SWITCH
CHEFA CASES TO
CIRCUIT COURT
District Magistrate 0verbur-
dened With Heavy Calendar,
Says City Attorney Brown
JUDGE ASHFORD GOING
TO HELP CLEAR DOCKET
Misdemeanor Charges Will Be
Taken Up by Higher Tribu-
nal Under New Scheme

With view to relieving the con-
gestion which has prevailed in Dis
trict Magistrate ]. NJ. Monsarvat's
court during the last several weeks, a
large number of misdemeanor cases
will be transferred from the lower tri-
bunal to Circuit Judge Ashford 8
court for disposition.
City Attorney A. M. Brown made
the foregoing announcement today,
pointing out the case of Sylvester
Cullen and Charley Cash as the first
step In this direction. While the
project is an entirely new procedure
in many respects, Attorney Brown
pointed out that, at the present time,
there is altogether too much work in
the police count for one judge and
one prosecutor to handle. Until the
calendar in police court is substan-
TALLY relieved, Judge Ashford will be
called upon to hear numerous misde-
meanor cases in his court.
Dabblers in the chances of chefa
viii form the majority of those offend
ors who will be hailed before Judge
Ashford The reason for this, says At
torney Brown, is that there are more
of these cases pending in police court
than of any other class of misde-
meanor
In chefa cases there are more or
less legal questions involved and, as
the trials often take considerable
time. there is every reason why these
cases should be tried promptly, says
Attorney Brown.
The city attorneys office has taken
UP. the matter with Judge Ashford
and expects to be able to relieve the
congestion and dispose of many of
the cases now in police court, added
Brown.
Work in the police count in Homo
lulu has increased to such an extent
during the last year that on each
working day there is a calendar which
cannot be properly handled by one
Judge and one prosecutor. This has
been brought about by the more strict
of the territorial stat
utes and the county ordinances"
City Attorney Brown says he is con-
vinced that the plan will meet with
unusual success.

had his position more imperiIed to-
day BY the turn Of events In the Yang

A. : result Of the widespread new

clared under martial law, and con-
filcts between the armies Of the pre-
sident and the gathering forces Of the

The situation has been further COM

In addition, at meeting Of the Japa-
nese privY council held yesterday-a
meeting attended by Emperor Yoshi.

the decision was reached to send a

to influence Yuan Shih-Kai to change
