Wc el f Word Dtiturfos Gear's Court Jodtcfory SirlWIno In Very Dirty Condition -Dangerous To Those Who Spend Their Time There. m trouble Jg the Hall of Justin yesterday afternoon, and tho lobbies were filled with the excited of strong men In verbal combat. So loud was the argumentative that tho portal of the chamber in wblta Judge Ooar dispenses justice, was closed upon the disturbance, that the wheels of the law might continue to turn nndlstarbed by the bound of the combat in tho outer precincts of the building. The trouble arose over the dirty undttion of the Judiciary building. The Judiciary building has been dirty for a long time, but It was only recently that anybody thought of having some of the dirt removed and Hi Used for the fllllatr in of nomls and uthfr similar nuisances. For a long time has justice been t orn;wllcd to lift her robes while pass ing through the temple which had itnen erected for her abode, namely. the Judiciary building. The building li in a sad state of disrepair and dirti ness Iff many places, and Jurymen and others have of late registered numerous and strenuous kicks In this regard Yesterday a representative of the Fard of Health went through the JuitKiarv building and noted the and other conditions which e!t there The Department of Works was communicated with and it was suggested by tho health efflovr that there was lots of work to bo done by &e Public Works Department In the okl building. After City Sanitary Officer Tracy had Inspected the Judiciary building and had won all there was to be seen, Superintendent of Public Works J. H. Boyd, accompanied by R. J. Green. who has charge of the physical wel fare of the government buildings as far as keeping them clean is concerned visited the Judiciary building to take a look around and to ascertain if ail the terrible things which had been said of It condition wore the truth Boyd .and Greene wandered from one room to another in the big building taking particular interest in the trial jury room, a rather small affair eltuated on the second floor, just over the main entrance to the edifice. This Is. certainlv the dirtiest room In tho whole building, and Doyd and Greene were evidently of this opinion. As they left the trial jury room, they discovered Territorial Grand Jury Bailiff Enill Key. standing guard over the door of the chamber In which the grand Jury was at the time sitting on a very delicate case. The Superintendent of Public Works inquired of Emll Ney if the Xr to the trial jury room was to be secured anywhere, as he was anxious to make use of It. Emll New nalsunderstandins; Rnvd. r end thinking that he wanted tho key to the grand Jary room whoro that was at work, was immediately on guard aad declared by all that was grntd that he would not lot the key out of ait possession. Wheo ft waa more clearly explained to Ney that it was the key to the trial Jary room that was desired, Ney disclaimed any knowledge of its whereabouts aad sh egos ted that Boyd look elsewhere for it Emll Key. having for mejay weary days taken a strennoss Interest in the neatness of the trial jary room, saw here an opportunity to unburden his tout "It is too bad that the room Is not kept clean. he said, "every morning I am hhr at G o'clock. 1 have to look. attar it myself. Nobody else takes an tetereit la keeping it tidy. I like to have it kept pleasant for the jurors. It te not good for them to stay in a room that te dirty all the time. What shonhl I knew about the key? Ash year janitor. Da not the janitor for thfe halMlng. I am the bailiff for the Srar,H4?rr.'' SapBteadent Boyd sought out Bailiff Bills aad, asked him concerning the har. saying that the trial jury room ought to be kept locked when. It was not bwag usea oy mat janes. Elite coplaiaed that tie was subject to the ordsrs of Judge Gear and that he bad not been instructed that the room should be locked. Emll "JMy put In another" word ox so at this point Going through a rapid series f pocsllar calisthenics trative of a man going; through the Juclino feraOMM r,I,.V!n. Ttp m& of rubbish aad shaking opt hmiiiws asm w torts, ue laancnsa forth in a. burst of eloquence addressed to Greene, who has charge of the government buildings. "I am all the time picking up rubbish In the trial jury room." he said, T am all the time trying to keep it tidy. Why di'i yon do things in the fight way. TAhy don't you see that the flor is t nibbed and the furniture kept clean and in order. Why don't you attend to your business?" Greene answered back and wanted to know how long Ney had been boss of the Judiciary building, and then Boyd remarked that Ney had better attend to bis own business. Ney became indignant and went into past history, saying that Greene had done all in his power to get him in trouble and had written letters about him to various parties in Honolulu, saying things about him which were not true. The two old gentlemen, Ney and Greene, went at It In loud tones for several minutes. Bailiff Ellis warning them that they were likely to be hauled in court and fined for contempt unless they cut the verbal combat pretty short. About this time the door of Gear's court room was shut with a slam that it might' be possible for the court to continue Its business. A small crowd of attorneys and witnessed the little fuss between Ney and Greene. Ney seems to think that the men. supposed to clean out the trial jury room, have not been attending to their duties. It Is the intention of Superintendent of Public Works Boyd to immediately make certain very necessary improve ments in some of the rooms in the Judiciary building. As the trial jury room needs "fixing"1' more than any other chamber in the building, work will first be done in this apartment The room is kept open all he time that it is not being used by trial juries and the consequence is that it is used by anybody and everybody as a kind of loafing place. A large number of witnesses were in the building yesterday. They were waiting the call of the grand Ju y. In the trial Jury room, when Boyd inspected that retreat, there were about fifteen persons. A stupid little Japanese lay sprawled on his face, sound asleep, on the table upon verdicts of trial juries are writ en Tho sleeping beauty never even offered to share his couch with others who must have been equally as tired waiting to be summoned before the rcud jury. The fourteen others lounged on the 'benches and the winding stairs leading to the clock tower, or stood at the windows and ejected tobacco-juice on the sills and up against the masonry The room is at present used more as a back-yard than anything else. The tobacco Btains decorate the walls and floor and have, as time has passed, been applied as paint is applied, coat by coat There are several coats of tobacco-stain on the floor. No cuspidors are supplied and. as the coiling is somewhat out of reach, tobacco chewers are obliged to expectorate on the walls and floor or out of the windows, perhaps on the heads of passing people. It Is strange, but true, that there are worms In the Hall of Justice. Much of the woodwork Is eaten away and the work of the worms is very notlcable In some parts of the building. This has nothing to do with the sanitary conditions of the Judiciary building, however. City Sanitary Ofllcer Tracy put in considerable time yesterday morning looking over conditions in the building. He found abundance of dirt and claims that the present condition of the building is a source of danger to these who occupy it Tracy will make his report to Board of Health Executive Officer Pratt this morning. The Board has nothing to do in the matter beyond drawing the attention of the Public Works Department-to the condition of the Judiciary building. As Superintendent Boyd has already taken the matter un. there will be no necessity of tho Board of Health making any report. Most of the rooms in the building are badly kept, there being layers of dust wherever dust can gather. This condition Is to be done away with. The trial jury room will be thoroughly cleaned and renovated and will then be kept closed except when in use by trial juries. A little house-cleaning will be done In other rooms also and It Is expected that justice will soon be able to walk up and dewn in her abode without having to lift her skirts from the dirt THE K1LLEAN COMPANY.

Statement Is Made That Emperor Will Institute New Arrangement Promptly Upon His Arrival In Peking Bow Wongs Delighted. Several local Chinese received letters that bear important general information at this period. If the statements therein contained are true and there is no apparent reason to doubt them changes of the most momentous character are impending in China. Briefly. It is -stated in at least three letters that the Emperor, upon his arrival in Peking, intends to subvert the political organism of the Manchu dynasty and to venture boldly upon the western scheme of government The letters indicate that the Emperor has selected the government of the United States as his prototype In his campaign of reform, save that the monarchical Impulse of China will not yet be discouraged, the fundamental principles of the new order of things being a compromise between the present system and the scheme of Thomas Jefferson The letters received here appear serious and have the ear-marks of fact. They relate that the Emperor is on his way back to Peking, a fact known In Honolulu. His Journey Is being made In the manner of a trium phal tour. Speeches are not being made from tho rear of railway coaches, of course, for that is impossible In the middle east and west of China; but the Emperor has, nevertheless. s?iven out his plans io the extent above referred to. Three letters examined last night from different parts of China, contained the statement that the Emperor would 'forthwith, upon his arrival In Peking. Institute the extensive reforms ahove mentioned. Two of the letters were from recognized Bow Wongs, so it may be inferred that the Reformers have been and still are in touch with the young Emperor and that he Is co-operating with them in their ideals and program. One of the letters goes so far as to state that a constitution, copied from that of the United States, save that it provides for an emperor has been prepared and will await the Emperor upon his arrival at the nation's capital. As a rule the Chinese of Honolulu are pleased with the reports they have received. Leading Bow Wongs especially are jubilant Consul Yang Wei Pin doubts the correctness of" the reports, but. as is well known, he belongs to the Empress Dowager's kindergarten of China's political arrangement and is not in touch at all with the Emperor and his Intentions. Since the Chinese-Japanese war the Reform partv of China has claimed reason to believe that the Emperor was in. accord with their aspirations. For a long time the reform movement was confined to the southern provinces, but has since spread to ttie north, and has been successful in gaining Immense support in Hawaii in San Francisco. Singapore and Europe. About two years ago the Reformers secured what they have since, considered positive "assurance that the Emperor was in sympathy with them. The trouble at that time was that Kwang Hsu was literally tied to the apron strings of his mother, the Empress Dowager, who I a hack number, asd still clisgs to the systems of hundreds of years ago. la tke letters to local Reformers the statement Is made that the Emperor has asserted his position to the old lady, and that In future he will ran the government h'mself. This program is also said to meet the approval of the principal advisers to this throne. excef LI Hung Cha&g. bat owing to his bad health, that oftcial is not bow interfering in matters of jmblic. poHcy.

I G0IE8HMEHT PHYSPiIHSJ SEPTEMBER PEPORT POSTED Mumps Amonn Public School Children Influenza and Dysentery Somewhat Prevalent The various government physicians In the Islands have sent in their reports for September. These have been condensed by the Board of Health into one comprehensive statement, which Is posted in the office of the Board. A few diseases are more prevalent than usual in some of the districts, although the general health of the Territory Is good. Dr. R. H. Dinegan of Kihei, Maui, reports an epidemic of mumps In the public schools. Dinegan reports influenza, and malaria a little too prevalent He had 12 cases of Influenza and 30 of malaria. Dr. W. F. McConkey of Makawao, Maui, Is also troubled by influenza cases of which he reports 20, also 12 cases of dysentery. Dr. R. J. in the district of Hana reports 20 cases of dysentery. At Koloa and Lihue. Dr. E. S. Goodhue had. eight cases of which were "controlled." Hana's health showing Is marked poor. "The general health Is poor as it always is in September," says Dr. McGettigan. He attributes "the poor condition to the lack of pure water for the people. Dr. H. E. Winslow, since resigned, reported for Koolauloa recommending that the Board take step3 to, examine cattle for tuberculosis. i i special Murphy meeting.

XO MIXE SHMISSiiBiERS' JftS PETIT JURY EXCUSED BY JUDGE - ESTEE UNTIL TUESDAY MORNING. Pearl Harbor Motion For a Jury Not Decided Liquor Dealers' Case Far First Monday In November-Underwood May Appeal. A decision was rendered "by Judge Gear at noon yesterday in & case appealed from the District Court The appeal had been brought by Mrs. F. C. Betters in a suit brought aganist her by Auctioneer J. F. Morgan, for the recovery of $3.25, the amount of goods sold by plaintiff to defendant at auction. Judgment was for plaintiff in the lower court and this Judgment was sustained by Judge Gear. An appeal to the Supreme Court was noted and the case seems not to have been disposed oL Auctioneer Morgan rendered a bill to Mrs. Betters fo.r $3.25 for a lamp and some matting sold In June last but not delivered. Mrs. Betters called for the goods after the sale and found the store closed. After that she refused t receive the lamp or Jthe mat ting. Morgan brought suit and was given judgment for ?3.25 by Judge Dickey. Defendant appealed to the Circuit Court and the case came up on an agreed statement of facts yesterday. Attorney Bitting appeared for the auctioneer and Attorney Stewart for Mrs. Betters. Gear gave a decision for the ejaintiff after listening to argument in the case. A written decision was filed later In the afternoon, of which the following Is an extract: "The appeal Is wholly without merit While the Court recognizes the fact that cases do not necessarily need to involve a large sum of money in order to give the parties a right'to trial or to their apneal. the Court also feels that this action is one which, should not have been appealed and that time has unnecessarily been watPd. "The Court thinks the law to be well settled that an auctioneer Is entitled to recover In assumpsit for the amount bid, and the Court suggests that there should be a provision In the statute, if there is not one now. allowing a penaltv to be Imposed where frivolous aopeals are taken, for the .purpose of discouraging such appeals. "Judempnt for nlaintlff for the amount claimed. S3.25, with interest, costs and attornev's commission." No Commissioners' Jobs. Judge Gear yesterday gave notice of his intention not to appoint any of the clerks of the court to any more commissions in probate matters, bHt to select outsiders. This of course shuts the clerks off from a very convenient source of revenue. The judge says, however, that the clerks have been making so much fuss in these matters that they will hereafter be left out altogether. The question came up when Henry Smith entered a protest against the allowance of the auctioneer's fee of W. E. Fisher, In the matter of the es tate of Adelaide Schllef et al against J. O. Carter et aL Clerk J. A. Thompson had been aopointed commissioner and Henry Smith criticized his acts in his protest When the case came ap yeeterdav Judge Gear declared the whole matter to be a squabble of the clerks. He added that there wae no reason whv Fisher should not have the fee awarded. The charge was the venal one for such cases and the aactioneer had earned the money. The Jedge made no order In the matter, saying- he would wait for the final accounts and the claims for the attorney's fees, and so settle all at one time. Henrr Smith's pretest was, In pert, as follows i "There have been times when the services of an aneUoneer were net needed, in which case the wonld have to do hie own selling, and thus save his own fee front, I wrnld not say that Thompson was not la esggiar an anetfoneerhnt I do claim that ther shoeM have prearranged the matter of the compensation. In this eaee there ha been: so sneh. a matter that the. heirs had thoroughly reled npon. "la this instance K, wae ed' understanding: between the heirs and J. A. Thompeon that he he nominated as commissioner, asd that the hitter had promised to carry ont the works and orders of. the ceart at as WHs eoat to the heirs a pnesMe. Had net sack, a premise "been made Ore neeaination wonM ham seac to itwwit else, and there was at leant otnsi asmrnat tar the e4Bce. Nsraj am n aaauMr nerauen cace Jnde Bomnhreys repaired cf the commissioner that he procure written aids front the. two Honolulu auctioneers as to what they wonld charge for their respective services. The bids were received aad the result la that case was very- satisfactory to the parties concerned. "Commissioner Thomptoa was fully aware of the order made by Judge Humphreys, asd the heirs in this case fully expected that he would conduct his. sales on the same basis. His failure to do so has displeased the mother of my ward, and perhaps the other heirs too. She even goes so far as to claim that Commissioner Thompson's failure to reduce expenses ought to deprive him of any commission, and that the auctioneer should get what has been ordered paid to the commissioner; as penalty for his seeming neglect "Returning now to the purported claim of the auctioneer. To bring up that matter In the shape of a claim In. this case, in face of the fact that the commissioner repudiates it on the ground of excessiveness, and on the further ground that for the commissioner to make the claim would be Inconsistent with the wishes of the parties made at the Ume of receiving his nomination as commissioner, would be an unheard-of proceeding. I must therefore perform my duty and object strenuously to Fisher's alleged claim." Kamehameha Warrior Testifies. Pake, a former soldier under King Kamehameha the Fifth, occupied the stand a good part of the morning in Judge Gear's court yesterday, in the case of the Kaplolanl Estate against E. Peck. & Company, ejectment. The warrior was on hand to prove the marriage of Okuu and Hocpulpul about fifty vears ago. The title to certain property on Queen street Is largely dependant upon this marriage. The defendant's attorneys contended that the records of marriages In Hawaii in years gone by was too incomplete and uncertain to be depended upon. Pake sa'd that he was sure that the couple had been married, for he had heard them quarreL Judge Gear said that If the marriage had really taken place the best way to prove the fact was by the records showing the issuance of the license, but Attorney Andrews said that this could not be done as the records had not been properly kept Kinney, on the other hand, said that the records were complete and that if there was a license it should be found. In Federal -Court. - United States Judge Morris M. Es-tee completed the petit jury panel for the October term yesterday morning, swearing in the fcllowing additional iurymen: WJ. Hlckey, H. Klemme, F. a Morton, William Blaisdell, K. B. Porter, Charles Notley, Jr., E. E. Mossman, Charles F. Murray, A. S. Prescott, George H. Turner, John D. Holt The jurors were excused until next Tuesday morning, so that ample time might be allowed for the deliberations of the Federal grand Jury. The judge announced that he was not ready to render a decision on the question of trial by Jury for the Pearl Harbor naval station land condemnation cases. He wanted time for a thorough examination of the authorities. Commandant Merry of the Honolulu naval station and other naval officers were present n court, expecting that there would be a decision. By request of J. J. Dunne, with Robertson & Wilder, for the plaintiffs, the liquor dealers' case was set for the first Monday la November. The case Is that of the liquor dealers attacking the constitutlonalitv of the sole beer licenses for retailing the Hawaiian product The Federal grand jury again took up the case of Captain Wallace, charged with cruelty on the high seas. Many more witnesses were summoned yesterdav. The fine of 5100 imposed on Captain Underwood of the schooner Robert Lewers may be appealed to the Department Underwood was fined for sailing his vessel without the required complement of licensed officers, h;s mate having no license as such. Collector Stackable communi cated with United States District Attorney Dunne In the matter and Dunne advised imposing the fine, as there was nothinc else to do under the law. though the captain had evi dently been misled and had not intentionally employed a man without a license.

The subject of the lecture was one which appeal to erery taau Irrespective of creed, and Father Alegevney dealt with it In a forceful and masterly manner. The Judgment" was the them of the evening. "One of the most universally truths," said the speaker, "b the ne which deals with judgment Everybody believes In it: everybody dreads It. Protestants and Catholics alike knew that the day will come when the ausel will hound the call which will be the sfg. nal of an immense gathering of all the oeople who have existed since the world began.
