The directors of the Mutual Tele
phone Company have hold a meeting
at which the Gartley report, which
tentatively recommends the automatic
system, was discussed. Tho decision of
the meeting was to cable to Piatt,
the sales agent of the Automatic Tele
phone Company for tho Pacltlc Coast,
asking that he come to Honolulu as
soon its possible.
At the meeting the report was tak
en up In all its branches. The most
Important fact brought out was that
the system for which C. J. Hutchihs
was prepared to contract ls not that
which is recommended by Gartley.
Gartley believes that the two wire
system, without tho use of the ground
as a third conductor, is preferable,
while tho system that Hutchins was
making arrangements to use is for a
three way circuit. In addition to this
the system first proposed was to al
low ten trunk lines for each unit of
one hundred telephones. Tho direc
tors do not believe tha this will give
a satisfactory service. In case of n
fire, or when steamers come in, the
local telephones are used to 'such a
degree that with only oiie lino for the
use of ten telephones ,tha service
would hardly be what is deft red here.
A test was made last wsolc to find
out the .average use of tho local tele
phones. Statistics which were gather
ed by Manager Hummer showed that
in eleven hours tho operators han
dled 34,000 calls. These calls were of
EDITOR SHEBA RELEASED FROM HIS LONG SIEGE ON THE WITNESS
STAND HE SHOWS THAT THE HIGHER WAGE ORGAN PUBLISH-
- ED NOTHING TO DULL THE EFFECT OF INFLAMMATORY LAN
GUAGE W. O. SMITH TESTIFf ES.
Editor Sheba was released from the
witness stand at 9:37. p'clock this
morning, the fifth day of his examina
tion in the conspiracy trial. Most ot
the time lie was undergoing cross-examination
at the hands of Air. Lightfoot
for the defence.
Mr. Klnhey for the prosecution .asked
him In redirect examination this morn
ing If the Nippu Jiji ever publshed
anything advising the Japanese against
violence. Lightfoot objected to the
question as immaterial. Kinney ar
gued that the laiiguugu of tho Higher
Wage organ addressed to men mad
dened by excitement might liavo a dif
ferent meaning if addressed to a dis
passionate throng. But when articles
were published from which words had
ben struck out thut were so strong
that the editors did not dare to print
them, yet which as published advised
the people to "get rid of" and "exter
minate'' those who opposed tho agita
tion, and without one word or ex
pression to Indicate that tho laugtiage
did not mean the worst that lt im
plied, tho prosecution had a right to
show such lack ot innocent intention
lu publishing language that on itit faro
was inciting to violence.
Lightfoot don led the statement that
those men had murder lir their minds.
Also he denied that tho writers Jot tho
letters in evidence hud murder In then
minds,
"Wo received a letter advislijg tho
murder of Sheba," was tho sensational
admission Lightfoot then made! add
ing, l'and we wrote a letter In reply to
show that It was wrong to tlink of
such a thing." '
Kinney demanded where was Iho evi
dence of any letter against murder.
Judgo Do Bolt ruled that tho pending

course not evenly distributed and dur
ing the early hours of the morning
and In the evening tho number wJs
small while in the afternoon and
morning, the percentage ran up high.
From this it is seen that people here
use their telephones a great deal, pro
bably twice as much as in most of
tho cities of the mainland, which
makes it more ditlicuit to i;tve a sat
isfactory service. For this reason it
is thought that ten trunk lines per
hundred telephones will hardly be
enough.
Another matter which was discussed
was the limiting of a single telephone
call to a definite time, titter which the
operator should break in, in case any
one else wanted the line, and ask the
parties to hang up and allow tho wait
ing party his chance at the wire. It
is proposed to limit a conversation
to ten minutes, which is twice the
length of time allowed ordinarily on
the mainland. Tho directors of the
company would like to know what
stand the public wishes tak'-n on this
subject.
Until tho arrival of Mr. Piatt, and
then till definite prices can be ob
tained from him, and possibly till an
arrangement can be made for the sale
of the present switchboard, nothing
will be decided in iegard to the in
stallation of the automatic. The di
rectors are striving to get the best
people service for the public, which
will still allow a reasonable Interest
on the money invested.
question sTiouia be answered.
"The Nippu Jiji never published any
thing advising the people against acts
of violence," Sheba said and was Im
mediately released by counsel on both
sides.
W. O. Smith, secretary of the Ha
waiian Sugar Planters' Association,
was next called. Asked it any of tho
Higher Wage leaders among the de
fendants had ever interviewed him he
wild, amidst some objections raised
anil overruled:
"There were sonio communications
on the subject of higher wages. Ma
kino, Soga and one or two others came
to see me early In January. Not to
make demands "
"I don't want to know about that,"
Kinney interrupted. "Were they re
presenting the Higher Wage Associa
tion?" ''They were' Mr. Smith replied.
"Did Mr. Sheba interview you on
higher wages,"
"Mr. Sheba and Mr. Kimura came
to see me."
iKlnney here released the witness
and Lightfoot began to cross-examine
him.
Witness thought there woro onty
three of the association leaders who
interviewed him. Kinny objected to
the lino of cross-examination as begun.
Lightfoot said Kinney always ob
jected to being compelled to show his
hand. "Now I am compelled to show
my hand," ho went on. "I want to
prove by this witness that these men
did not represont tho Higher Wage As
sociation when they called on him,"
Mr. Smith being allowed to answer
said that Maklno and tho two others

Sheba and Kimura. "Thoy wanted to

a repeated offence of sending indecent
literature through the malls having
ben postponed until two o'clock Thurs

Commissioner George A. Davis llxed
his ball at $2,500, informing him that
an ordinary .Japanese bond would not

freeholder resident in the Territory.
Sureties owning nothing but movablo
property or money in bank, which
could be picked up and taken away,
