What Decision Says *
In part, the decision. says:
The demurrer raises the point that.
by virtue aof act al Of the session
laws OF 1915, the Hawaiian legislature
has swept away any right that may
previously have existed on the part
Of this plaintiff, or others IN similar
condition. 70 maintain IN the courts
any action Of this character 10 re-
cover. compensation for injuries such
as are alleged IN the declaration.
If said act Il constitutional. there
can be no doubt that the demurrer
should be sustained. but this constE
tutionality Of the act is contested BY
the plaintiff. s
Il have reached the conclusion thai
only two points need be discussed AMI
decided in order to a disposition TO
the demurrer In question, and those
are the points or questions whether
the Hawaiian statute 10 obnoxious to
the constitutional guaranty Of due
process Of Law at the point OF the no
tice which should be given to all par
ties concerned, by the committee Of
arbitration or the Industrial accident
board, before proceeding 70 hearing
and determination OF any complaint
or cause submlttL to 1. for decision;
and also, whether the deprivation OF
jury trials constitutes q denial Of due
process Of law.
Life and Property
at win be observed that the const:,
tuition has placed life, liberty anu
property upon an exact equality IN
the protection which the constitution
affords Il In this respect, and that no
person shall be deprived Of either
without due process Of law. For this
reason the decisions Of courts where.
In any of these three constitutionaliy.
protected privileges has come under
discussion are equally in point where
either Of the others Il involved.
However inexplicable Il may b.
that the Hawaiian legislature should
have passed. the act In question ids
signed, as It undoubtedly Ii. 70 relieve
q condition Of injustice and Inequality
that had long prevailed under the
terms Of the common laM1, without
having provided Tor the giving Of that
notice which is d constitutional sine
qua non to its validity, yet the fact
remains AZ stated, the defect In tho
statute 10 obvious, and Irreparable,
and for. this reason, u for no other, 1
find the entire act 10 be unconstitu-
tional, Invalid and Of no effect

ANTHRAX DEBATE
BY HEALTH BODY

Arthur II. Rice, president OF the
board of agriculture and forestry, said
today that he sees no reason for exter-
ninating the herd Of cattle on the
dairy eround of T. r. Farm because
one COW has died since the group was
immunized from anthrax.
This cav diei on Wednesday and
the death formed the chief subject Of
discussion ct Z .neeting Of the board
Of health yesterday. Mr.. Farm and
Wade Warren Thayer, his attorney,
appeared ct the meeting and it was
the general sense Of the discussian
that the remainder Of the herd had
better be exterm1nated rather than to
take chance On others contracting
the disease.
Mr.. Rice said, today that the fac.
that one COW has died does not con.
vince him the serum treatment was
not successful. He believes II vim be
absolutely safe to remove the herd
TO an isolated spot for quarantine Q
certain length Of time This IL the
general feeling Of the board, too, he
believes The dairy ground b BADLY
infected, no doubt. and one COW who
may have not reacted to the serum
treatment caught the disease after
several weeks there.
The board was TO meet tits moru.
ing with the board Of health. but this
meeting ws1 finally postponed 20 S;15
o'clock this afternoon. AZ this meet,

WATT ER RIGHTS DECISION |S
 RENDERED

In the district court Tuesday after noon Judge Brown signed a decree in the case of Frank Herman vs. John E. Andrus, ct al. The decision is a most important one to the mining industry of the territory, and is the first one rendered in this division embracing the question of water rights as ap- piled to mining. In fact, but two other decisions in which points in- volved in the action are in part in cluded, have been rendered in the territory.
 The action was directed almost en- tirely to the question of rights ac- cruing to the prior locator of water rights, where the water is put to use by the locator, as against the rights of claim owners lying between the points of diversion by the locator and the point where such water was em- ployed in mining.
 In this case, the plaintiff Herman, diverted the water, Of White creek, carried it by Hume and pipe line across claims 1, 2, 3 and on White creek, belonging to defendant, and employed it in mining on Chititu creek. Some months after Herman had made his water right location, installed his Hume and pipe line, the defendant, through his agents, went upon his (the defendant's) claims on White gulch. and cut plaintiffs ditch, permitting the water to escape. This occurred several times, when plain tiff appealed to the court for a tenn porary injunction restraining the de- fendant from interfering with his ditch and pipe line during the min ing season of 1917. The court, sit ting at Anchorage, last June granted the temporary injunction, and last month the matter came into court on the question of making the temper ary restraining order a permanent one. There were a number of intri- cate law problems involved, and the case was hotly contested by both sides. Messrs. Donohoe & Dimond, of Valdez, appeared for the plain tiff, and Messrs. M. D. Leehey, of Se- attle and L. V. Ray of Seward ap- peared for the defendant. The trial of the case occupied several days, a number of witnesses being examin- ed for both sides. Following the trial, it was stipulated by counsel to submit the case to the court on briefs, both sides making short argu- ments. Elaborate briefs were submit ted, and in the decision handed down by the court signal victory for the plaintiff.
 According to the decision the plain. tiff is adjudged the true and lawful
