OBJECT TO PUBLICATION REGARD
ING ORGANIZATION OF "WHITE"
MILITIA COMPANIES.
There Is a whole lot of soreness on
tho part of tho Hawaiian members of
the National Guard over tho talk be
ing mado In favor of organizing a
branch of tho militia to bo composed
of haoles exclusively, either an Infan
try company or a naval or artillery
company. An officer of the guard In
speaking of tho mutter recently stated
that ho believed that if such a thing
were attempted it would mean tho de
moralization of tho ontlro regiment.
'Tho Hawaiians feel pretty strongly
on tho matter' said this olhcer, and
they have resented tho various ar
ticles published in Uio Advertiser re
garding it. The native members havo
bcoii and are tho backbone of the or
ganization. They aro always ready to
do their duty, and they give moro at
tention and time to military matters
than tho white members have ever
shown. Tho Signal Corps nas been
mado up largely of haoles arid it Is the
Signal Corps wnlch almost always
turns up missing when tho regiment is
called out. Everything was out on
tho day of the Governor's return In
obedience to orders, except this body,
and this is just one instance. If a
whlto company is organized as such, I
believe that most of tho Hawaiian of
ficers In tho Guard would hand In their
resignations."

The Supreme Coutt this morning
decided the Llliha street injunction

pany, holding that tho ton-minute
schedule must be kept up, and In n
somewhat elaborato discussion of the
subject declaring that tho courts have
tliu say under tho company's franchise
as to what sort of a strvlce shall bo
maintained under the circumstances
set forth in the case at issue. Tho
suit was brought to prevent the com
pany from changing tho Llliha street
service from a ton-minute sorvlco to a
fifteen-minute service, nnd Judge De
Bolt's decision against tho company is
sustainod. It is said that an appeal
will be taken to the United StatoB su

The third decision, says in part:
"Tho defendant's claim that its right
to rogulato tho operations of Its rail

The statute requires that It shall at ah
