What Is to become Of the crimias
cases now pending in the circuit
court? City Attorney Brown does not
know, Judge Ashford does not know
and Judge Whitney Is too busy trying
10 untangie the Kahana land cas-" TO
be seen.
When Justice Coke left the circuit
bench he assigned the criminal cases
TO Judge Ashford. But 1t is held that
those cases are not legally before
Judge Ashford and that Is where the
rub" comes in.
City Attorney Brown says he Is anH-
iOus to go ahead with the cases, Dut
that he does not know wha. Judge
will hear them or when this matte:
will be determined. Who will deter

The Star Bulletin has been informed
that Judge Ashford does not care to

TBy Associated Press1

LONDON, Eng-The longest and
one OF the most unique lawsuits ever
heard in the English courts has just
been decided. II involved the owner
ship OF $2,50O,000 in gold which the

Rhodesia claimed that the Globe and
Phoenix Gold Mining Company, which
owns the richest gold mine in the
world. had taken from the RhOdeSia
property. AS II to be consistent the
court occupied two hours in deliver
ing judgment.
The case lasted l44 days and cost
$3.50, 900. One witness was on the
stand sixteen days, and another who
was on the stand almost as long, died
Two other men who were interested
in the case died before it was con-
cluded.
More than $4,000 questions were
put to witnesses and answered. In
the final summing up counsel for the
defendants spoke for IS days. Chief
counsel for the defense received a
fee OF $4,000 and his "refresher" or
daily charge was $500.
The documents in the case were so
voluminous that two large rooms were
crowded with maps, assays and re-
ports, The proceedings were enliven-
ed by stirring scenes between oppos-
ing counsel and apologies were or

IN LICENSE Law

Proposal to change the licensing OF
peddlers In corntry districts from once
a year TO once every three months is
said to have been made by members
of county police Of Maui, with a view

lature
II is claimed that the change would
provide an increase in revenue,
through less evasion of the Law than
is now practised, the argument being
that many Of those who evade pay
ment Of the license now are men who
sell for only week or so a year in
certain, outside districts. They do not
want to pay a years license for this
length Of time.

report, are among those who sell

ARRESTED OPERA.
SINGER LOVED BY
SOUTHAMERICANS.
Elena Theodorini Taken
Into Custody As Ger
man Spy

Buenos Aires. Dec. 1.-Correspond-
ence OF the Associated Press.) Few
women ever have been so popular and
80 beloved by the Argentine public
as Elena Theodorini. an opera singer
famous in this country. who was ar
rested by officers OF French cruiser
on charge that sheiwas spy in the
employ OF Count Luxburg, the former
German minister here. Count Luxburg
received his passports from the Ar
gentine government for sending 10
Germany a suggestion that Argentine
ships be sunk without trace.
La Theodorini. as she has always
been called in Argentine. took pass
age on board a steamer for Europe
in company with group OF theatrical
persons who were known to be friends
OF Count Luxburg. The steamer was
halted of Montevideo by British
cruisers and some OF the others of the
theatrical group were placed under
arrest. but Theodorini was not mo-
Tested until the steamer was over
hauled by French cruiser of the
Spanish coast.
News that the cruiser had taken her
from the passenger steamer on charg-
es of espionage came as a surprise to
Theodorinrs admirers in this city, for
the general public did not know, aA
did diplomatic circles that she had
been In recent years q great friend of
Count Luxburg and a member OF q
circle of theatrical women who were
dined and wined at the residence of

La Theodorini came to Buenos Aires
in 1884. Singing leading parts in well
known operas she soon achieved
wide reputation and afterward be-
came so attached to Argentine audi
ences that she made her home in this
city Since then she has figured in
the musical and theatrical life of Ar
gentina, although she had retired
from the operate stage.
One of her acts which endeared her
to the Argentine public was her ap-
plication for naturalization inasmuch
as she was the first woman OF for

year she paid a visit to New York,
where a festival was given in her
honor by the Metropolitan opera stars.

They are in class with the Tories
who Toasted the aristocratic British
officers while Washington's army
starved at Valley Forge.
They are hold over of the VAL

after Ii was doomed. f
They are the kind OF people who

This is no time to waste precious

The following statement comes

war department, has undertaken on
large scale welfare work, includ-
ing housing arrangements, for the
benefit Of its 1900 employees. The
majority Of whom are young women,
and even arranging social affairs for
them.
AS newcomers, especially, young
women, are at a disadvantage in
finding accommodations in crowded
Washington, the division has made
its own housing arrangements, with
such success that none OF its mem
bers is now looking for rooms. A
volunteer committee OF wives Of the
army officers connected with the
division prepared a list of rooms
which was thoroughly investigated
by the two experienced welfare
workers on the rolls Of the division,
Mrs. Mary c. D. Johnson ami Mrs.
J.. H. Printup. Practically al of
these were in private homes, few Of
them being in boarding houses. The
division maintains a trained nurse
who renders first aid to the force,
and who has been prompt in inform
ing the District OF Columbia health
authorities Of any cases Of indisposi-
ton likely to develop into contagious
disease.
Believing that social life Is neces-
sary to the maintenance OF morale,
the welfare workers have arranged
for the employees all sorts OF social
affairs, and have not neglected to en-
list the enthusiasm Of the. girls in
war work. Knitting and sewing
classes to work for the enlisted men
OF the ordnance corps have been
formed. A large dance Is being ar
ranged for next week, in the prep
aration of which every one connect
ed with the division Is taking part.
The musical talent among the 1875
colored messengers has volunteered
to act as an orchestra for the occas-
ion, while the colored charwomen
will act as maids and coat checkers.
The colored messengers' orchestra Is
also planning to give a minstrel show
for the benefit of the soldiers in
France. The messengers are look
ing for quarters for a club house.
