CIRCUIT COURTS
Three Jury Trials Hail so Far
aifl No Conviction.
DILLINGHAM STILL A WITNESS
Judge Stanley Is Rapidly Reducing:
Jthe Length of the Calendar
Cases Dismissed.
In the Circuit Court yesterday morn
ing before Judge Stanley and a native
jury argument was bad in the case of
the Republic vs. Kahue and three
others accused of assault and battery.
After a short charge from the Court
the jury retired and soon afterwards
brought in a verdict of not guilty,
whereupon the four defendants were
discharged.
The next case was that of Lilinoe,
an alleged kahuna, accused of practic
ing medicine without a license, on ap
peal from the District Court of Hono
lulu. The following jury was empan
eled to try the case: George V. Macy,
U. H. Jones, Charles Winchester, Isaac
Cockett, George E. Smithies, A. Fitz
slmmons, William Coghall, Joseph
Richards, S. W. Kaaona, Allan Wright,
George Kaolapa, Job Naukana. The
witnesses examined for the prosecution
were Albert Scott and Mary E. Scott,
in the morning, and Laweaki, in the
afternoon. After the testimony for the
prosecution was all in Attorney Kaulu
kou announced that he would submit
the defendant's case on the evidence
of-the prosecution. The jury were
then charged and after an absence of
just twelve minutes brought in a ver
dict of not guilty, three dissenting, and
the defendant went on her way rejoic
ing. The next charge reached was that of1
the Republic of Hawaii vs. Nehemiaj
Kaainoni, accused of malicious burn-
ing, in setting fire to the Colburn

Macy, George Smithies, William
hall. Witnesses for the prosecution
were E. H. Naoho, Halemano, Kapaa
hu and William Meyer. At the con
clusion of their testimony Deputy At
torney General E. P. Dole moved th
Court to grant a nolle pros, in the casej
as the evidence has turned out differ
ent to what had been expected. T.
McCants Stewart for the defense sug
gested that in view of the action ta
ken by the prosecuting attorney the
better plan would be to bave the jury
instructed by the Court to bring in a
verdict of not guilty, .which was done,
and the defendant was discharged.
Before going on with the jury trials
disposition of several cases was made
as follows:
Republic of Hawaii vs. Camachero,

ticing medicine without a license. Or

er court of conspiracy in the third de
gree, who is in the Circuit Court on
appeal, was permitted to change his

tence was thereupon suspended for six

a lottery scheme, who appealed for
mitigation of sentence, was fined $25
and costs.

THE AWA MARU.
Another Big Ship Launched for
the Nippon Yusen Kaisha.
On July 27th the new steamer Awa
Maru was launched at Nagasaki, where
sbe has been built for the Nippon Yu
sen Kaisha. She is a six thousand-ton
steamer, sister ship of the Hitachi
Maru. The event demands an expres- f
sion of applause for the enterprise
shown by the Mitsu Bishi Company,
says the Japan Herald. The first es
says fin building big ships are very
costly. The Hitachi Maru involved a
heavy loss, and if the account for the
Awa Maru comes out even, it is as
much as can be expected. But unless -the
undertaking is boldly faced Japan
can never hope to build her own ships,
and the Mitsu Bishi Company seem
determined that she shall not labor
permanently under that disability. It
is well for the country that some of
ber capitalists show such a spirit.
THE SEARCHLIGHT.
Interesting Article on 'The Old
Mission House " . . 4
Last week's issue of the Searchlight .
shows an increase dn size from eight to
twelve pages. It contains some espe
cially good reading matter, notable
among -which 1s a strong and well
written article on "The Curse ' of
Drink" wbich is evidently from the
pen of one who knows whereof he
writes. An article on "The Old Mis
sion House" by the editor and a poem
written by the Rev. Hiram Bingham in
1823 and now published for the first
time are among the good things.
A Japanese department has been
added that is edited by Y. Fukukita.
The publication is destined to be a
power for good in the land and is
worthy of every encouragement.
THE MYSTIC SHRINE.
No Truth in the Report of an En
campment Here.
In a recent issue of one of the Hilo
papers it was stated that an encamp
ment of the Mystic Shrine was soon to
be organized in this city. A prominent
Mason, who was yesterday seen on the
subject, said it was all news to him.
The movement has been talked of for
some time, but that is as far as it went.
The matter crops up at intervals and
then dies out for a time.
Date Changed.
The date for the ball to be given in,
honor of Annexation Day has been
changed from August 12 to August 11.
The reason is that the former date
falls on Saturday, which would neces
sitate ending the dance at 12 o'clock.
