OF
THE BRASH
TRUST
Finds that iagoon'S appoint
ment WAS NOT REGULAR SEC
OND ANNUAL TERM OF SU
PREME COUIIT OPENS TODAY.
The second annual term of the Suj
preme court, under the act of the last
legislature providing for such terms
beginning In October, opened this morn.
Ing, with 39 cases on the calendar. This'
is a comparatively small calendar, as
the court nearly cleaned up Its busi
ness before adjourning last July, and
the circuit courts, with only one judge
sitting at a time In Honolulu, have not
been sending up many cases.
Amonir the most Inmortant cases on
the calendar are the two test flsherjH
rltory and J. O. Carter eft.al against the.
Territory, in Doin tneso cases juuge
Humphreys threw the plaintiff out of
court. There ate 78 cases awaiting trial
In the circuit courts, Involving the same
points. y.
The Supreme court Is also expected to
decide in the near future as to the right
of legality of.more than one Judge hold
ing court at the same time In the first
circuit. Judge De Bolt Is disposed to
hold that such sessions may be held,
while Gear holds to the view express
ed In the decision ty himself and Hum
phreys some months ago, that only one
judge can sit at a time In term matters.
This decision Is being followed, but it is
said that If the Supreme-o'urt does not
take up the matter and decide It In the
near future, De Bolt and Robinson will
change the practice and return to the
old system.
"With Associate Justice Galbralth pre
siding and Circuit Judges De Bolt and
Gear sitting as Associate Supremo
Justices, the Supreme Court this after
noon took up the fishery rights cases,
appealed from Judges Humphreys.
Chief Justice Frear and Associate Jus
tice Perry were both disqualified to
hear the cases, having property inter
ests which 'will be affected by the deci
sion, and the situation, as a conse
quence, Is as was described to the Unit
ed States Senate Commission an likely
to develon Under thf I-In.wn.iian .statute.
"the case' being heard by one regular I
vfnrti mpmhpr fit th rnnrt nnri fwn I
other members ol the bench or bar
called to sit with him. This is a law
which the Commission was asked to
have amended If possible.
The arguments are expected to take
over a day, as the issues Involved are
very Important. 78 suits against the
Territory for the value of private fish
ing rights being dependent upon the
determination of the law. Robertson
& Wilder appear for the Territory and
Hatch & Silllman for the rlalntlffs-ap-pellant.
Judge Robinson gave a -ruling on Sat
urday afternoon In the matter of the
guardianship of Susan Brash, holding
that J. A, Magoon, who has been act
ing as guardian for about ten years,
was never legally appointed guardian.
Magoon's actions as guardian and as
administrator were attacked by Fitch
and Fleming, who filed a petition ac
cusing the guardian of disobeying the
orders of the court, and falling to turn
over money alleged to belong to Miss
Brash. The court held that the ac
counting had been all right, and that
tMagoon's authority as administrator
had been legally acquired, but that he
was not legally made guardian.
The Brash estate was disposed of by
the will of William J. Brash probated
in 1880. He named his brother as ad
ministrator , leaving property valued
now at about $12,000 In trust for Susan
Brash. In 1SS2, Brash resigned and
Chief Justice Judd made an order ap
pointing Magoon administrator. The
order making Magoon guardian was In
formal and without any hearing, and
Judge Robinson held that It was void,
and announced his readiness to sign a
decree appointing a guardian.
Magoon's last account showed the
property to be worth $12,900. His man
agement as administrator was approv
ed by the judge, the charges being held
to be not sustained, aijd the trust therp-J
xure remains miacii ,

The Commissioners asked for
tenders for an aerial Hook and
Ladder truck, but since then
they have seen a style of truck
that suits them better. Bids
were received fqc this, truck as

BUSINESS CONTEST
NEW IDEA IN CONNECTION WITH
THE THANKSGIVING DINNER-
RIVALRY AMONGST NEWSBOYS
Notwithstanding the fact that
Thanksgiving Is not due for some time,
the Star newsboys have commenced in
a quiet way to ascertain if they are to
be the guests of the Star at a holiday
dinner. They will be glad to know
that they will have their usual dinner
and the Star will try to give them u
huppler and more bounteous day than
ever. ' For a number of years this pa
per has cared for its newsboys on
Thanksgiving. The smart little fellows
are feasted and then sent to the foot
ball game. It Is the brightest day In
the year to them.
This year the Star proposes a new
Idea In connection with Its newsboys
dinner. It will be an honest, legiti
mate business contest among the boys
and will last for seven weeks. The
boy who sell3 the largest number of
Star3 in the time mentioned will be
presented with a new outfit a swell
salt of clothes, a pair of shoes, new
hat, shirt, necktie, choker collar and
for good measure a bright silver dollar
for pocket money. The winner of the
first prize will be a dude; he will have
the honor of leading his companions to
the Thanksgiving Dinner, In fact, he
will be the bell leader of the bunch, as
Billy Baxter would put It.
The boy who sells the second highest
number of Stars will be given $7.50 in
coin.
The boy who sells the third highest
number of Stars will be handed $5 In
gold coin.
The contest will commence with to
morrow's issue. There will be .rules
which the boys must follow. The Star's
idea is to make the contest a healthy,
clean business rivalry, arid the boys
who sell the greatest number of papers
will be rewarded as above stated.
The contest will end on Monday,
November 24, and the result will be
announced the next day.

AMONG STAR
MPERIAL DECREE OUT
AGAINST
YANG
WEI PIN
FORMALLY CHARGED BY CENSOR
KWAN YUNG JAR CHINESE
EMPEROR DIRECTS AN INVES
TIGATION BY A COMMISSIONER.
The "Sun Chung Kwock Bo" received
by the steamship Coptic from Its
Shanghai correspondent -by registered
mall, what the correspondent gives as
a copy of a decree of the Imperial
Court at Peking directing the appoint
ment of a Commissioner to proceed to
Honolulu to Investigate the charges
against the Consul Yang Wei Pin.
This decree, It Is supposed, is the re
sult of the charges filed through Min
ister Wu Ting Fang by Chinese resi
dents here, against Consul Yang Wei
Pin.
The document received by the Sun
Chung Kwock Bo sets forth that the
decree was" dated September 9, 1902,
and a translation of it Is as follows:
"Censor Kwan Yung Jar has pre
sented memorials against the Chinese
Consul and Vice-Consul at Honolulu,
to this court, with charges preferred
against them, namely: Offensive parti
sanship, corrupt practices, humiliation
iu uvi. iiaiiun iuiiu uuuuiea iu puniest:
subjects;' and the censor begs to dis
charge them from further service as
consuls at Honolulu ,and that a Mln
lsterTsldlng In a foreign country be
telegraphed to, to Investigate the char
ges In order to promote the national
civilization and to protect the Inter
ests Of the merchants at said place.
"In consideration of the above char
ges, this Court has to state' that the
appointment of consuls to foreign coun
tries Is to -protect the Interests of mer
chants and laborers. But Instead of
acting thus righteously, the consuls at
Honolulu, according to the further
statement of the said censor, have
bought and sold &laves and smuggled
opium Into the port of Honolulu, ac
tions dishonorable and unbecoming
gentlemen.
"Now this court has commissioned
Prince Choy Chun, our Special Ambas
sador to the Coronation of King Ed
ward VII. to appoint a Commissioner
residing In the vicinity of- the said con
suls for the purpose of investigating
the facts of the charges. Such Com
missioner must take immediate step3
for such Investigation, and must not
be biased.
"This Is a transaction touching the
national honor, and every fact must
come to light that foreign peoples shall
have Just cause to denounce us.
"The charges will be made out In
duplicate and mailed to Prince Chun,
and this decree wired to him for his
information. This court herein orders
a cabinet officer to certify the above
to Prince Choy Chun for action at
once."
At the date of this decree, Prince
Choy Chun was on the continent of
America on his way back to China
from his mission to the coronation of
King Edward.
Accusations of smuggling were made
against Consul Yang Wei Pin several
months ago 'and were referred by the
state department through the treasury
department to Collector Stackable for
Investigation. The charge of buying
and selling slaves Is one that was not
made miblic here before this.
Yang Wei Pin went on a visit to his
native town near Canton Just aboul
two months ago.

A NOVEL PROCESSION.
An unusual sight and one that at
tracted a great deal of attention nnd
gathered a considerable following was
wltnossed this morning. Two Japanese
were carrying a Japanese woman In a
sort of palanquin covered with a red
blanket.
The woman was evidently 111 and
wns being taken to the city physician's
office for treatment. The palanquin
consisted of a narrow mattress sus-
pended from a strong pole. Over thel
pole and falling down to the sides of the
mattress was thrown a brilliant red
cotton blanket for shade and privacy.
The blanket falling down from tho pole
to the sides of the mnttress gave the
general appearance of a tent. Two
stout and lusty jnpanese men carrieu
this burden through the streets from
some place Irf Palama-to the city phy
sician. Nearly every ono who saw it
turned to look and scores ot natives and
others turned and followed the unusual
conveyance for some distance on Its
way. Nearly every Jap wno met tne
unusual procession stopped to Inquire
regarding tho health of the woman In
the palanquin.

ONG LADDERS NEEDED
TALL
WHY THE BOARD WANT AERtAU
LADDERS AND SOME RECENT
. .1
IMPROVEMENTS IN THIS CLASS
OF FIRE EQUIPMENT.
The Introduction of tall buildings In
Honolulu has made Innovations In fire
department appliances necessary. The
extension ladders which the Board ot
Fire Commissioners are about to add
to the equipment are made useful andt
necessary by tho tall buildings already
erected and those which are In process
of erectidh and contemplated.
It 1s pot the Intention of the board
to man the new hook and ladder equip
ment with additions to the force at
present. Such Is riot considered neces
sary. The tall buildings are here, and
to adequately fight fire If It should oc
cur In any of them, requires this mo
dern hook and ladder equipment. But
to man It with a crew additional to the
force already In the service would be
to go to an expense of several thou
sand dollars a year merely to protect'
the comparatively few tall buildings al
ready here, from fire.
The apparatus however, purchased
nnd housed at the central fire station.
Fort nncf Beretnnla streets, would be
ready for use at any time it is needed
manned by a crew temporarily detach
ed from some other apparatus not nepd
ed at the time.
The fire commissioners also think thlsr
Is a good time to provide as there are
funds sufficient In the appropriation for
this purpose, and not specially needed
for any other. If It Is not spent during:
this biennial period It will go back to
the treasury as a government realiza
tion, and will have to be re-approprla-ted
before It could be used for this pur
pose, and even If the next legislature
did re-approprlate It, the Imperative
need for it may arise at any time.
It Is therefore the plan to provide the
equipment as soon as mny be. The
'equipment Is essentially ladders so
constructed as by mechanical means tn
be extended so as to enable men by
means of them to mount to -the upper
stories or tne roots .or tan nuuuings..
The general design of lndder advertised
for was that mounted on a truck and
raised and lowered by means of me
chanical devices. Since the advertise
ment was made a modification of this
general style has been brought to the
nttentlon of the commissioners. It la
accidents to the truck nnd Is more ser-
vlceable where telegraph, telephone
nnd electric light wires run close to
buildings.
