No Sm 7T 13 SECOND lili18 EDITION wv A TT A 1T 98 NOT LEGALLY 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.

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 , Want ads In Stir cost but 25 cents. lOUHIIllUHIIIMIIHII 5 I a M n H M H id a Accident Insurance, I Helps the Pain .

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. VALUABLE CARGO.

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.

' ' ' 1 1 SKY - SCRAPERS 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. NEW CITIZENS ADDED.
