Writ Of .Habeas Corpus
For Murderer
Asked For
Another effort is being mado to ob
tain the release from Oahu jail of
(leorgo Wade, the man who killed
William Gillespie In 1899 on board
the Bteamshlp Australia, and who In
now serving scntenco of life and ten
)enrs for tho crime.
C. C. Ulttlng, as counsel for Wade,
this morning filed a petition with
Judge Dolo of tho U. S. DlBtrlci Court
for a writ of habeaB corpus, claiming
that Wado Is Illegally deprived of his
liberty and Is confined In prison in
violation of tho Constitution of tho
United States.
The petition sets forth that Wade
Is now In Jail by lrtuo of n mittimus
Issued August 10, 1S99, based on n
sentence imposed upon him upon his
conviction of the crime of murder In
the first degree. The sentenco was
for Imprisonment at hard labor for
life.
On August 20, 1901, tho petition
alleges, Wade was discharged from
the custody of the High Sheriff, and
the order of dlschargo has never been
annulled, reversed or set aside, and
the petitioner Is therefore entitled to
his discharge thereunder.
On February 6, 1902, Wado was
again tried and convicted of tho same
offense, and was sentenced to Imprls
onment for a term of ten years. He
Is, therefore, serving two sentence.
ono of life Imprisonment and ono of
Imprisonment for ton years. It is
claimed that he. Is held without due
process of law, that ho has twlco been
put In jeopardy of his life for the
same offense, and that ho has been
made to suffer cruel and unusual
punishment, and Is now Held undnr
the first mittimus from which he was
duly and legally discharged.
Judgo Dole was expected to ren
der his decision at 2 o'clock this aft
ernoon as to whether ha would order
the writ of habeaB corpus prnyod for
to Issue.

Measures
, WASHINGTON, D. C,
! February 17.
V UOYiiJlMUtt JUUSAK,
Honolulu:
Leasehold Hill favorably re-
ported: alio (Fish Hatchery
Bill. I KUHIO.
The above cablegram was
received from thn Delegate to
Congress this morning, and
Indicates that Hawaii Is com
ing In for her share of good
things fiom Congress, oven If
tho Pearl Harbor proposition
has been hard hit.
The Leasehold Hill Is one ot
th matters taken up by Gov
ernor Kre.ir during his recent
visit to the National Capitol.
The Organic Act as It now
stands provides that tho Ter
ritorial Government may not
leaso agricultural land for n
longer term than (Uo cara.
The disadvantages ot this are.
oblous Lessees do not wish
to tako land for so short n
term when in somo casos It
takes a good share of tho time
to get the land under cultiva
tion and icady to yield crops.
An effort was Ilrst mado to
get the time for which agri
cultural land might be leased
Increased to 20 years, and the
bill as introduced provided for
this change. The Committee
on Territories, however, to
which tho measure was refer
red, has, as thq message shows,
reduced the tlmo to IS years.
Hut ccn this change will
greatly benefit Hawaii.
Tho Klsh Hatchery Hill,
which Is favorably reported by
tho Committee on Fisheries,
provides for the establishment
In Hawaii of a Government
fish hatchery, where joung fish
may be raised with which to
stock the streams of the Terri

Hawaiian Fruits To Be
Used In Manufacture
Of Product
The first brandy still ever made In
the Hawaiian Islands has Just been
completed In tho Bhop of John Km-
meluth. It was made by Kmmeluth
under the direction of Managor Ja
cob Coerper of tho Kona Vineyards
Co., for which concern It was order
ed. It Is tho Intention of the company
to engage in the manufacture of var
ious kinds of brandies from Hawaiian
Irults. The still, which Is quite a
largo affair, will be shipped to the
company's plnce of business at Kcatn
l.okua, Kona, In tho Mauna Loa noxt
week, and after It has been set up
and started, which work Is oxpected
to consume nboflt four weeks, tho
manufacture ot brandy will be becun
Immediately, In about three or four
months the first product will be plac
ed on tho market. The still has n
capacity ot sixty gallons a day.
In the beginning brandy will be
manufactured only from pineapples,
grapes, figs, and berries, as the use ot
these fruits only Is allowed under the
permit at present hold by tho com
pany. Permission Is, however, at
present being .sought from tho au
thorities at Washington to use other
fruits na woll, and as soon as this has
been grnntcd the company will begin
to manufacture brandies from ba
nanas, mangoes, papains and other
fruits. Tho fruits will bo obtained
from tho numorous smnll farmers In
the district, and It Is oxpected that
ns soon as they realize that they havo
a steady market for their products
the Hawallans nnd Portuguese will
mgnge extensively In tho cultivation
ot fruit.
