SAYS ATTORNEY
ABUSED HABEAS
CORPUS PROCESS
Judge Clemens Denies Petit
ton of Nobu Mitobe, Repeat
ing Judge DCIe'S Action

In handing down an opinion dis
missing the petition Of one Nobu Mi
tobe for a writ of habeas corpus, Fed
eral Judge c. r. Clemens has a few
remarks to make concerning the
abuse" Of the habeas corpus process.
According to the opinion. Hon. San
ford B. Dole determined the Mit0be
matter on July 3, 1913, finding against
the petitioner. Her attorney, J. Light
foot, gave notice Of appeal, but failed
to carry the case to a higher court
Later. however, LightfoOt brought in
another petition which contained sew
eral amendments TO the original one.
Commenting on this procedure,
Judge Clemens says:
In discharging the writ of habeas
corpus in this case, it must be said
that the court regards counsel as hav-
ing caused an abuse of its process.
This petition adds nothing to the petit
ton for writ in a previous case =.
determined on July 5, 1913, by his
honor Judge Dole, adversely to the
petitioner. For the added allegations
of her employment as a nurse ito
show that she is no longer likely to
become public charge, as was a
ground Of the order denying her adj
to the country, and the add
ed allegation Of her present good
moral character ito show that she
was not imported for immoral pur-
poses, as was another ground of said
ORDER, and the added allegation of
her failure by accident and mistake
to perfect an appeal from Judge Dole's
said order, therefore as her petition
reads depriving her of her right to an
appeal are each and all not only ir.
relevant and immaterial, but to say
the least, frivolous and trifiing.
Nor is the sham character of the
petition at all cured by the allegation
Of the appeals having been heard by
another person than the secretary of
abor, when the secretary was himself
present in Washington and
no one else could, therefore, be author
zed to hear II. For that allegation
s merely one of belief and il is re-
narkable that there is not even the
Usual allegation of information to sup
,ort the belief" @.5.-

BLOWSREADOFF
With STICK OF
GIANT POWDER
Skeleton of Unknown Man is
Found; Skull Shattered to
Bits and Fuse Nearby

| In a gulCh on the place Of u. Paul
! r. lsenberg, two miles and half
| from the Waialae road, the headleSS
! body of a man was found yesterday
| by a Japanese, and reported to the pO-
| lice by Ernest E. Lyman, bOOkkeeper
at the ranch. An investigation made
by Sheriff Charles H. Rose led TO the
conclusion that the man killed himself
about two months ago by placing half
stick of giant powder in his month,
lighting a fuse and letting il blow his
head off Nothing on the body gives
any clue to the identity of the sui
eide
Just opposite the gate to the lsen-
berg place gulCh runs back into the
hills, and at the head of it is a char
coal burners home 1t was half a
mile below this the body was found,
lying face up on a pile Of brush. The
clothing was almost gone and only
the skeleton of the man remained.
About II feet from the body, under
a rock ledge, there was found a half
stick of giant powder and a foot Of
fuse Lying about on the ground near
the place where the powder and fuse
was hidden were perhaps 100 pieces
of bone, identified as pieces Of skull.
The inference is that when the giant
powder exploded in the mans mouth,
it blew the body IL feet away and
scattered the bones of the head about
the spot the man was sitting when
the explosion came.
Queer Garment Combination.
The dead man was evidently OF |
rather large frame. He wore blue /,
green hat, which was blown to tat. !
tiers by the giant powder explosion |
that caused his death. His overshirt /
was a light, collarless garment, his |
trousers dungaree, and he wore |
pair of neat, low-quarter black shoes, !
on which no marks. can be found. His |
undergarments were part-wool I'M
dershirt and pair Of cotton drawers.
The neat. low-quarter shoes, the .
dungaree trousers and the apparent t
ly once stylish hat do not jibe, in the
opinion of the police, and the further |
fact that there is not a mark of any |
kind on any garment except the hat, /
which is labeled Hannah Brand"
leads to the conclusion that the man
put on clothes which could
not possibly be traced.
Forty cents and a briarwood pipe
were found in the pockets of the
trousers, and close to the place the
man is supposed to have sat when he
killed himself was found a newspa-
per, dated November Z, showing that
the tragedy occurred after that date.

ASHFORD MAY
BE DISQUALIFIED IN
-. CASES OF DAUGHTER

Will Circuit Judge Ashford be re-
quired to vacate the bench when his
daughter, Attorney Marguerite Ash
ford, appears in his court as counsel
in case?
This question was raised today
when the case of Loo 10y, charged
with having lottery tickets in posses
sion, was called up for hearing. Miss
Ashford was entered with w. T. Raw
Inns as counsel for the defendant. Will
Garden, deputy attorney, raised the
point that the judge was disqualified
to hear the case under section "a of
the Organic Act, and asked that the
question of the courts qualification
to sit in the case be reserved to the
supreme court.
The court found that Miss Ashford
had no contingent interest in the case
at bar, but the prosecution stated that
1t felt she had a cash interest in the
matter, whether contingent or other
wise. Counsel for the defendant said
they had no objection to the matter
going to the supreme court on re-
served question, owing to the fact
that one of counsel was a daughter
OF the judge. The supreme court will
be asked to answer the question.
Section 81 of the Organic Act pro-
vides that mo person shall sit as
judge or juror in any case in which
his relative by affinity or by consan-
guinity within the third degree. shall
appear either as plaintiff or defend
ant, or in the issue. of which SAID
judge or juror has any pecuniary in
terest."

A FREQUENT CALLER.

II Is an old saying that opportunity
knocks but once at any mans door,
yet there are few men living that
cannot testify in their own expert
ence that such is not the case. Op-
portunity comes often and in various
guises. lie is not discouraged by our
inhosptality or unpreparedness, but
returns again and again. In the
sense that great opportunities do not
offer themselves frequently the old
saying may be credited as true, but
| there are hundreds of smaller
chances lying in wait for us at every
rising OF the mornings sun. We may
look back and see the time when,
had we been ready to answer the
call OF some unrccogni2ed chance,
our lives might have taken a turn fot
the better and given us n greater
measure OF prosperity and success.
These are the rare opportunities. but
because man has missed one Of
them is no reason for him to give up
IN despair and bc'blind to the numer-
Gus smaller opportunities that pre-
sent themselves. the seizing of which
Will make life better for us and for
others. Hope springs everlasting.
and there is good reason why It
should. Not until man has passed the
age OF possible activity and has seen
his powers fade away can he truth
his possible friend If he will but
seize upon the chances that present
themselves 1t has been said that
this is young mans age, and so 1t
is in the sense hat the yigor of youth
is increasingly necessary to keep the
pace at which we are living. But it
Is Increasingly an old mans era and
people no longer think it necessary to
regard themselves as in the human
discard because the years of their life
/ ave multiplied. Many active, vigor-
GUS people are all the time in evil
dence. the stimulus of a youthful
heart keeping at bay and defying the
ravages of time. They have seen
many opportunities slip by them, but
they are ready and watching for
others to come 1t is never time to
despair until death has laid his
mortgage on our earthly frame. and
even then many men have gone ahead
and done great things for humanity
while lingering in the shadow of the
tomb Opportunity never quits COM
ing until our eyelids close in their
last sleep, and then, If we have lived
a life of unselfishness. the influence
of what we have done and tried to
do will live on for q benedction on
gene rations to come.

and adopt new ones-the man VINO
will not do so is either ignorant or
unreasonably stubborn. But II Is
glaring record that shows a predomi-
nance OF self-reversals and such /"
record cannot commend itself to pun
lie confidence. The real statesman
does not find 1t neodful to dictate
dogmatically and command arrogantly
on opposite sides of the same ques-
ton, because the pressure Of events
and the logic of human affairs do not
so often force them against their own
previous dogmas and contentious. If
the president expects very many peo-
pie to stand by him, he must make
up his mind to stay IN one place long
enough for his supporters TO line up.

THE POWER OF SUGGESTION

An interesting experiment is being
tried out by an eastern publication.
The theory is advanced that a con-
stant repetition of a certain line of
thought suggestion will produce cor
responding results in physical effects.
Reading from day to day about sick
ness and death will, they say, in
crease sickness and mortality; conse-
quently they will try to present the
brighter side Of the news exclusively
and see what effect II has on i'm
proving the health of Its readers
There is undoubtedly something in
this contention though perhaps not
so much as is claimed for it, We all
know that when a mans mind dwells
too much on sickness the body is less
q bic to resist the force of disease, and
on the other hand, that continually
thinking about cheerful things will go
far towards retaining good health.
The mind is not ail-powerful over the
body, but 1t has a power far greater
than we usually give 1t credit for.
Not only that, but any line Of thought
continued in from day to day will
have an effect on both physical and
mental natures. though we may be
unaware of the process until 1t has
gone on for long time. And this
suggests n pertinent thought regard
ing the prevalence of well-meant
crusades for both physical and moral
betterment The question of disease
and its prevention should be better
understood than It is, yet II would
seem that our people, especially the
school children, have this matter be-
fore them so much that the effect is
to make them more cowardly than
cautious The continual study OF in
tensive hygiene is apt to produce
physical weakness and the very pre-
cautions against disease evolve
mental state that makes the student
an easier prey to the malady. Many
PEOPLE have taken sick and some even
died Just because they were afraid of
some certain malady. Morally, also,
the continual parading of evil as
something to be Stunned. the ex-
ploitation OF numerous "moral les
sons" in public places defeats its own
object by rendering the moral nature
less able to resist temptation. 1t Is
we'll that the young should not be
kept in ignorance as to what they
should shun, both Of physical and
moral ills. but the continual Insist
,nce Of these things creates IA
miliarity and arouses curiosity for
experimental knowledge that Is
sometimes more to be feared than
ignorance.
