COURT SCORES
Ii GAY STORY
in LOCAL PAPER

Circuit Judge S. B. Kemp, in de-
cision handed down today denying
plaintiffs motion for a new trial in
the case of Baron Charles ETH LIE Gay
against the Honolulu Rapid Transit
and Land Co., an action for the recoV-
cry of alleged damages, takes occasion
to comment severely on the action or
a local morning paper in publishing
an article on the morning Of the trial
which the court held to be prejudicial
to the baron.
The article recited at length Baron
lie Gays former activities here and
the jurymen were instructed by the
court to disregard it. The publication
undoubtedly would have caused the CT
tation of the editor and publisher OF
the morning paper for contempt had
proper complaint been made, the
decision declares.
: In part the decision reads as fol-
lows:
- IF this were the only question to
be considered / should not hesitate
one moment to set aside the verdict in
this case because such reprehensible
conduct on the part of newspaper as
is involved in the publication OF the
article in question, timed as it was, can
probably be stopped quicker and more
surely by not permitting the party
sought to be benefited by such publi-
cation to enjoy the verdict procured
las this verdict likely was) partly as
a result of the prejudice instilled in
the minds of the jurors by their read
ing of the articles vilifying his oppo-
nent.
ut has been held in this jurisdic-
ton that the publication of a much
less Objectionable article than the one
I'M question renders both the editor
and publisher of the paper liable for
contempt of court when brought in on
complaint of the party aggrieved, In
this case no motion was made to have
the parties responsible for the publica-
ton cited for contempt and the court
is without power to move in the abb
sence Of complaint of information"

DOCTORS ASKED
TO AID RECRUITS

Honolulu physicians are receiving
from DR.. j. S. B. Pratt, president of
the Territorial Board of Health, an in
yitation to serve on the board of ex-
aminers of correctible recruits.
"Correctible recruits" explained one
of the doctors who had received and
accepted one of these invitations, lis
the term applied to men who have been
drafted for service in the army or
navy and have been turned down be.
cause of some durable physical de.
feet. All such men-in fact any man
who has been rejected by the army
or navy because of physical unfitness
has the right to go to any member
of this board of examiners for exami-
nation, free of charge.
IF the nature of a rejected recruits
disease is such as to require hospital
treatment he will be recommended to
go to some hospital, and if he is able
to pay for such treatment he will nay
it himself, certain arrangements being
made to allow him a special rate. If
he is not able to pay for whatever
treatment is required to render him
physically fit for service it is the aim
of the Territorial Board of Health to
see that funds are provided for such
treatment" ..~.=s
Service On this board may be ae-
cepted or rejected by the doctors ap-
preached. The position is patriotic,
carrying with it no fee, and being one
that is likely to call for several hours
work from the doctors weekly, for
having once accepted, they will not
then be free to turn down for exami-
nation any applicant who can furnish
proof to show that he was exempted
from service in the army because OF
physical defect that might be durable.
SO far as have heard" concluded
the speaker, every physician in town
will accept this call to service and &C,
cept it, as have done, willingly and
gladly" -. ~ +.

Young Kennedy, who, with Alan

In his letter, sent from Boston prior

to be sent to London, where he de.
cIares the class of American aviators
which graduated before his had been
sent. But the authorities decided to
send the next class south, so Kenne-
dy's wish was not gratified. He re-
marks in his letter that he passed
high in wireless, navigation and ae.
rial gunnery.
Several detachments of American
soldiers in training for aviation work
are now located at aerodromes within
the confines of Greater London, and
are seen during their leisure hours

A Wise orana-outana.

Prof. William T. Hornaday, thu
noted animal preceptor, cites this In
stance Of ape sagacity:
II once became quite chummy with
an unframed, Gagged, meRagerie Orang-
outang by the name of Dohong. He
was a son of the jungle and intense
ly concerned in matters that came into
his narrow life. All that he learned
outside Of his inherited instincts he
learned himself. His cage contained
q number of horizontal bars attached
to brackets on which he took consid-
erable solemn exercise. One day he
concluded that the bars ought to come
down. Bracing his feet against the
solid wall of the cage, he pulled every
bar from Its fastening and flung It on
the floor. Larger bars were substi-
tuted, which the ape vainly tried to
remove. After straining his back in
this futile effort, he walked up and
down in his cage and was apparently
lntently studying the situation. Event
ually he procured the crossbar Of his
trapeze and using it for a lever, he
not only pried every horizontal bar
from its brackets, but he likewise
pried the iron bars Of his cage apart
so that he could stick his head
through the opening and satisfy his
curiosity regarding his neighbor in the
adjoining cage"

But when the same sized group gathers about the in- closure of some less amusing exhibits the keepers are immediately active usually finding bit of geological tenn perament has resulted in tantrum by the longlgnored occupant. Recently Il keeper saw laughing battalion of sightseers surrounding the cage of Minnehaha. the smallest donkey in the world.

LOTTERY ON
 HIS WOUNDS AND WON
(By John H. Hearley, United Press

 Rome, Sept. 9 (By Mail. IA black haired soldier dropped into the state lottery office at Brescia, hesitating be- fore the busy clerk while vainly try ing to think of 'lucky numbers"
 70, play on your wound, it may bring you luck" advised the inn patient clerk, glancing at the silver tape on the soldiers arm which indi- cated that he had been wounded at the front
 The clerk got out the soothsaying book and between them they interpret ed the wound in "lucky numbers" The date and zone of the battle, the nature of the bullet and the feelings of it's victim, all had their numerical equiv alents.
 'I don't want to win for myself" ;" the soldier remarked. "I'm thinking Of Maria and the youngsters. Think ol what the money would mean to them. Madonna mai, bless my num- bers.'
 The soldier risked forty cents on the magic formula, far more than he could really afford. Say, just jot my numbers down and send my winnings to my wife and babies, if don't come back from the Carso," he told the lottery-man. The clerk jotted the soldiers numbers in a note book and turned to several talkative peasants
 The drawings were later held under the eye of Italian officialdom. The next day the clerk remembered the soldier and referring to his note book discovered that the wounded stranger had won $5,000.
