CITY COUNCIL ADDS
 TO ORDINANCE LIST

l
 he same was adopted.
 Councilman McAllister who is very much interested in the mu-
 nicipal utilities proposals re
 marked that the council was do-
 ing nothing in the matter of the
 city coal yard, pumping plant,
 etc, and suggested that the ald-
 ,rmanic body get busy by send
 ing message to A. H. Moore
 with a view to inducing that per son to bring in coal The coun-
 man said that Moore was intend ing to send in two boats and 1t
 would probably be good opp
 portunity to secure a supply of coal. He was informed by the
 mayor that such a message has been forwarded.
 Councilman Thompson then 'rought up the matter of the Kemp street sign and consider
 lble discussion followed anent he propriety of granting special .bermits to string advertising banners across the public thor oughfares. McAllister insisted hat the ordinance should either be strictly adhered to or else re- pealed. The matter was finally settled byThompson moving that he sign be allowed to remain for period of ten days and the owner be instructed to raise the same about ten feet so that an unobstructed view of the town clock might be obtained The motion was duly seconded and passed. Thompson then pre-
 ented the matter of li- censing the messengers and on his motion the city attorney was asked to prepare an ordinance for that purpose. Thompson then moved that the police com mittee be granted authority to adopt and enforce certain regula- tions and rules for the red light district. He made no mention of the nature of the suggested { -egdlations but as the council did not seem in the least inquisi- tive the matter had evidently been gone over in caucus. Any way, there was no dissent and the motion was duly passed.
 w. H Buckmaster, who was present in the audience then rel nuested permission to address the council concerning the long bar which was the subject of some discussion at the last meet ing. Buckmaster said that he had sold the bar to Holt and submitted its early history as proof of his ownership. MT. Buckmaster seemed to infer that some one had suggested that he had stolen the bar himself and intimated to the council that he had not been long enough in the saloon business to become petty thief. The matter was re- ferred to the street committee.
 Councilman Thompson then moved that the council meet every two weeks during the summer season, commencing June 5. There was no immediate second and Councilman McAl- lister entered vigorous objec- tion, stating that there was lots of very vital business to be at tended to yet, particularly with respect to the city pumping, lighting, coal yard proposals and he thought that weekly meetings should continue until at least the first of August. Rose remarked that no action was taken on those matters in meetings any

The case of the city of Nome
 IS. Bolts attracted a good sized audience to the municipal court
 'oom yesterday afternoon at four
 o'clock but the attendants re- ceived but little reward for their pains as the defendant was not
 on hand. The city magistrate
 hereupon declared the bail giv- n to insure appearance forfeited to the city. The case involved m alleged violation of the terms of ordinance Iso in that the de- fendant is the owner of several ;abins in the restricted district.
 following the failure of the de- ,endant to appear, the city attor- ney asked that a bench warrant be issued but Judge Grimm de- cided to take the matter under ldvisement. The judge frankly admitted that he did not under stand what it was all about de- spite the efforts of the city at torney to enlighten him by stat ing that the women occupying ho,sea in the restricted district were paying exhorbitant rents and he q ought the landlords should be compelled to refrain from exac''ng undue charges on property devoted to such pur- Loses. fudge Grimm said he did not see where the city was re quired to fix schedule of what charges should be made. He also stated that the very exist ence of the place was illegal and no amount of rent reduction would destroy the illegality. The city attorney, by way of reply, contended that he was not exactly in favor of trying to abolish prostitution. he was opposed to any one deriving accessible prof it's as result of catering to that evil. The matter was argued pro and con for some time be- fore Judge Grimm finally decid- led that he would consider the case further before issuing the desired warrant. At a later pe- riod the bench warrant was re- fused.

Congress at Short Session May
Discuss Prohibition For
This Territory


Although adyices from Washington,
d. c., indicate that measures now be-
fore the national legislators regarding
prohibition for Hawaii will have to
wait another year, officers of the To-
cal Anti-Saloon League are confident
that these matters will come up for

The league feels that, as long as
congress is in session, matters regard
ing prohibition for Eawaii are liable
to be brought up at any time" says
George W. Patty, secretary of the
league. I'VE are also of the belief that
the measures will come up at the pres

Justices in Decision Reverse

torney Lorrin Andrews. appointed By
him as guardian nd lIteme Of Queen
LiIiu0kalaaf oyerruiing the defntir-
rers OF the respondents In the suit
brought by Delegate Kuhio TO break
the trust In which the queens prop
erty Is held, and striking from the
files the papers filed by Antonio
Perry as counsel for the queen, are
reversed in a decision handed down
by the supreme court today.
This decision by the justices Of the
snpreme court takes the delegates
case back to the lower court. Il being
ordered that ''the cause be remanded
to the circuit Judge for further pro-
ceedings not inconsistent with the
views expressed In this opinion"
With regard to the issue raised BY
Kuhio to the effect that Liliuokalanf
was not mentally competent, the deci-
sion holds that the question Of the
queens sanity should have been dis
posed OF by Ju,ige Stuart before gong
into the other phases Of the case. In
this respect the justices comment as
follows:
"A next friend or guardian ad Item
may be appointed for q person who
though not insane, Is alleged to be
weak minded and, because OF the un-
due influence and domination OF an
other, Is not free agent But where
an issue Is raised by the party's deni-
al of such weak mindedness and undue
influence, thai issue must be heard
and determined IN limine' and betora
further steps are taken In the suit.
Previously the supreme eoart held
that the presumption Of competency
prevailed in favor Of the queen; that
she had the right to control the suit
as far as she was concerned, and 20
discontinue the same as she had DONE
Later, il was held that the queen was
not by right a party-complainant IN
the suit with the delegate, II being al
legged that the suit had been filed with
out the knowledge or consent OF the
queen, although, in the original suit.
Kuhio appeared as next friend" Of
the queen.
The case decided today came before
the court on an appeal perfected by
the ausen, and the first question de-
termined in the decision Is that the
appeal should rightly be entertained.
The next question is whether Judge
stuart erred in postponing considera-
tion of the allegation that the queen
was not mentally competent THIS
question is decided In the affirmative
I'VE hold tAat the circuit judge
erred in not taking that course In this
case" says the decfslUn. Here, the
