Ex-Circuit Judge Humphreys Loses His Right to Practice Law. Pl AT, HONOLULU, Aug. 10.—The Supreme Court to-day rendered its declsion in tfie disbarment proceedings instituted against prominent attorneys by Attorney General Andrews. The court disbars ex-Circuit Judge A. S. Humphreys and Georgs A. Davis. Frank Thompson Is suspended from practicing for one year. Attorney J. A. Magoon is exonerated. Justice Gal- braith rendered a dissenting opinion in all of the cases. The court holds that Humphreys is guilty of attempting to in- duce Magoon to betray his client, Sum- ner, and also of opposing his ex-client, Sumner. Thompson is found guilty of op- posing his ex-client. Davis is found guilty of abusing a legal process. It was alleged that he forced the aged Sum- ner to pay him an exorbitant fee through intimidation. Justice Galbraith says that Davis and Thompson aie deserving of lighter punishment and that Magoon, on the charge of collecting an exorbitant fee, is deserving of some punishment. The disbarment proceedings grew out of the case of John Sumner, an aged cap- itallst, who was obliged to defend himself | against the attacks of relatives wha al- leged that he was mentally incompetent and unable to handie his property.

Macedonian Delegates State Their Grievances Against Turkey. | SOFIA, Aug. 10.—The delegates here of | e Macedonian committee have ad- | dressed the following appeal to ealh of the representatives of the Powers: Your Excellency—The delegates of the Mace- donfan committee have the honor to bring to vour notice the following resolutions, with the request that you communicate them to your Government : The Mussulmans' systematic persecution has | the Christians in Macedonia and compeiled the vilayet of Adrianople to institute a gen- eral rising. They have had recourse to this extreme measure after exhausting all pacific means to secure the intervention of Europe | to enforce the provisions of the Berlin treaty. | { At the present moment intervention is the only means of remedying the evil and stop- ping bYloodshed, The sporadic efforts of the powers to secure reforms have falled: they have resulted morely in a recrudescence of Turkish fanaticism and greater oppression. It is evident that reform measures, to be ef- ficacious, must include .the appointment of a Christian Governor General of lacedonia— some one who has never held office under the Porte, and who must be independent of the Turkish Government in the exercise of his | functions—and ihe further appointment by the | powers of a joint permanent administrative board, with full power to deal with any dis- turbance. Having published the foregoing facts to the civilized world and made known the causes which have driven the Macedonlans to despair, the committee for the Macedonians now in | arms proposes to continue the fight until the object of their uprising has been attained. For the committee: TATARTCHEFF, CHRISTO, MATOFF. ——————— Infernal Machine Explodes.

UKIAH, Aug. 10.—For some time past there has been a strange species of noticed in a pool near the fish | hatchery here. One of the same was| gigged recently with a common | hay fork and thrown from the spring| which is the source of the puol. The | specimen was taken to Colonel LaMotte, | at the hatchery, who s regarded as an authority on things pertaining to specles of fish. He at once pronounced it an Austrian mirror carp. This is one of the most toothsome fish known, but the man ner in which they came to be planted in this spring is not known. Old settlers have known of this fish being in the | spring for many years, but did not give | it ‘suffi¢tent thought to ascertain its| specles. In color it is golder, has a| decidedly pretty contour and is almost | The few scales possessed | ing a decided contrast with the lighter hue of its body. Colonel LaMotte in- | tends to make an investigation and de- the species came to_be transolanted in that vicinity. The fish hatchery has bheen doing an immense business this year and only recently 300,000 young trout were planted Of these 75,000 were placed in Reeves Mill Creek this week. There are countless thousands ready for transplanting possible. The water in the streams of Mendocino County is unusually low for this season of the year, which is a dis- advantage in the placing of young fish. ————— MORE SUBSTITUTION IN CIGARS. Sanchez & Ha.y;;;ing Suit Against H. Rinaldo & Co. for Substitution ; of “L. Sanchez” Cigars. TEIPOBAB{ INJUNCTION SOUGHT. The confusion and diseatisfaction that have been created in this market by the introduc- tion, under a similar brand. of a substitute for the famous and popular clear Havana cigars of Sanchez & Haya have at last culminated in The Sanchez y Haya Co., a Florida corpora- tion, have taken action by causing to be filed in the United States Circuit Court here a bill of complaint against H. Rinaldo of this city, wholesale distributer of La Flor de Sanchez cigars, requiring him to appear and show cause 'why he and his agents should not be perpetually enjoined from offering these goods in the manner they are presently doing, and king for a temporary injunctien pending the decision of the sult. The complaint, covering some 25 typewritten forth the Incorporation of Sanchez - In the vear 1895 under the laws a the original firm adopt- nants, have continued to use designs, labels, trademarks and trade names so that their cigars might be readily distinguished from all others. That sald brands ani labels were duly regis- tered by Sanchez y Haya in the vear 1878 in the United States Patent Office and registered in the year 1896 in compliance with the laws. That by reason of their long experience in the manufacture of cigars, of the good quality of thelr product and the extensive advertise- ment thereof the Sanchez & Haya cigars have become widely known and have acquired a high reputation throughout the United States and elsewhere, and are commonly designated as the “'Sanchez” cigars, That the respondent, H. Rinaldo, with intent to deceive, a to deprive the complainant of its just rights, has knowingly and wilifully of- feréd and sold since the beginning of April last, and continues to sell spurious clgars fn imitation of those 'of the complainant, and bearing counterfelt brands and labels in imita- tion of theirs. That such me: ble inj d - Bal injunction 1s asked for, enjoining the re- spondent or his agents from selling clgars under the name of ‘‘Sanchez’' or any other name similar in sound or appearance. Affidavits are made by many leading whole- sale as wel retall dealers, all engaged in the cigar and tobacco trade here, each of whom states that he has carefully examined the brandg and trademarks of the *Sanchez y Haya" clgars and compared them with thoss of L.

He hopes that the: investiga- tion which has been ordered by Presid Roosevelt Into contracts in which Lit- tauer is believed to have had an interest will be thorough and he has given the names of various manufacturers of gloves keep and others, who, he says, can give in- formation that will be of value if the in- vestigation is not for ‘“whitewashing” purposes. Previous to 139, when Littauer was first sent to Washington as Representative in Congress, Keck had been a contractor, dealing with the Government with mere than fair success. In ten years he had had twenty-five contracts for supplying gloves and caps for the army, every one of the contracts having been obtained after an open competition and an award- ing to the lowest bidder. Since 1896 he has had only three minor contracts, though on several occasions he has sub- mitted bids lower than those of his com- petitors. He charges that favoritism has been shown, and though it is impessible to prove that it was done at the suggestion of Littauer, the contracts have been awarded to men who are little more than Littauer’s dummies, at figures above those sbumitted by other bidders. He gives dates to proye what he says and he gives figures. To the correspondent of The Call Keck showed letters to prove that Littauer had sent him at least one check as a reward for “fixing” his bid for a lot of gloves at a figure that would not interfere with the bid made by Willilam Top, whose fac tory here was practieally owned by Lit- tauer. —_———— THRESHING OUTFIT CREW MISUSE A HARVEST BAND WALLA WALLA, Wash, Aug 10.— Brutally rawhided by men who took turns at raising great welts on his naked flesh with horsewhips, then rolled in beds of tar weed .which filled his body full of countless prickles and finally sent on the run out of camp to the tune of rifle balls, a harvest nand named Ray appeared here this morning. weak and angry.
