B, COURT SUSTAINS THE FORAKER AGT Porto Rico Merchandise Is Subject to Duty. NEW. YORK, Aug. 14.—Judge Ray in the United States Circuit Court to-day banded down an opinion sustaining the constitutionality of the Foraker act, which provides a new revenue tax on merchandise brought into the United States from Porto Rico after the island ceased to be a forelgn country. To-day's decision sustained a demurrer interposed by the United States in an action com- menced against it by the sugar imp@rting firm of Lascelles & Co. of New York. The firm imported a cargo of sugar from Porto Rico on June 12, 1889, which was placed on its arrival in a bonded warehouse. The entry was liquidated on November 14, 1899, under the existing Dingley tariff act. On June 6 duties were reassessed under the Foraker act. The firm protested against the imposition of any and all duties. Finally, under protest, $3500 duty was paid and suit for its recovery instituted, The Government demurred, claiming that the goods were dutiable .under the so- called Foraker act, and Judge Ray sus- tained the demurrer. .

HONOLULU, Aug. 14.—T&nbll’l Gisa- buso, a Japanese, was hanged at 12:30 o’clock to-day for the murder of Captain | Jacobson of the schooner Fred J. Wood on July 30, 1%2. The execution was the first under the Federal administration of the fslands. The murderer after ascend- ing the gallows made a confession of his crime and thanked his executioners fo: their kindness. Before the trap wa: sprung he read from a Japanese Bible and made a short prayer. The execution was entirely successful. The crime for which Tanbara was hanged was committed on the high seas on July 30, 1902, on board the schooner Fred J. Wood. Tanbara was cabin boy of the vessel and the evidenge at the trial showed that he had been dissatis- fied with his rate of wages. On the day of the murder Captain Jacobson, master of the vessel, visited Tanbara and Ohto, the Japanese cook, in the galley., No one saw what took place until the captain was heard to call upon Tanbara to give up & knife. Then one of the sailors saw the captain and the cabin boy struggling and saw Tanbara plunge the knife in Jacobson's abdomen. The captain died almost immediately.

ENGLISH DIES ATTACK TRUST He irs of the Late James ‘Campbell Prepare Contest. Will Ask Court to Distribute the Entire Estate to Them. —_— Spectal Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Aug. 14.—The trust created in the estate of James Campbell, the Honolulu millionaire who died April 21, 1900, is to be attacked in the Superior Court of this county. The first steps looking to the contest were taken to-day when Judge S. F. Leib made an order appointing H, L. Gear, a San Francisco attorney, guardian ad litem of Muriel and Mary Campbell, minor doughters of the deceased. ‘When James Campbell died he left an estate valued at about $,000,000, but since his death it has nearly doubled in value. One-third of the estate was bequeathed to his widow, Mrs. Abigall Campbell, who afterward married Samuel Parker, the weil knowh planter and politiclan of Hon- olulu. The other two-thirds was created into a trust for the benefit of the four chiidren, Misses Abbie, Mary Campbell. The trust provides that the property shall be placed in the hands of three trustees, and the proceeds shall be divided among the benericiaries. The principal, it is further provided, shali be held during the life of the beneficiaries and their heirs, and may also be extended twenty years-after the death of the last heir of the four children. ~—— Campbell a short time before his déath {purchased and rebuilt the Hotel St | James in this. eity, and it is because of having this estate in California that’the contest over the trust will be waged here, Miss Abbie Campbell, a few days after her mother marricd Samuel Parker, be- came the bride of Prince David of Hawaii, A decree of the court was secured order- ing the sale of the St. James Hotel prop- | erty, and Prince David's wife purchased it. The sum of $152,72 came into the es- tate, and en February 20, 193, Judge Hyland of this county made an order dis. tributing the money to the trustees. These trustees are Mrs. Abigail Campbell-Par- ker, Joseph O. Carter and Cecil Brown of | Honolulu, It is from this order of dis- | tribution that an appeal is to be taken | to abolish the trust. | "It will be set forth that the trust is| illegal, in that it is an attempt to estab- i lish a perpetuity, in that the trust is ex- tended twenty years beyond the lives of the heirs or their grandchildren, and ex- | tends beyond the lives of the beneficiar- | ies. | The notice which appoints H. L. Gear {the guardian ad litem of Murlel and | Mary Campbeil shows that George A. | Davis ' has been appointed gugrdian of | the estates of the children by the District | ‘(nun of Hawaii. Suit must be com- | menced before the 20th of this month, as | the time to appeal from the decree of | distribution expires on that day, ‘While the attack on the trust is brought in the name of the minor heirs, it is said | that Mrs, Campbell-Parker and the other | | | two daughters, who have reached their | | majority, sanction the move. Mrs, Par- | ker is said to have stated some time | ago that as the property belongs to her daughters she is desirous of them getting it and enjoying it. she is one of the | trustees of the trust there will probably | {be no opposition | rich estate among the heirs. It is said recent decisions dissolving trusts created under similar conditions make certain that the safeguards James Campbell in- that his children should not want will not stand.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Aug. 14— An attempt is belng made to improve | the acoustic properties of the magnificent Stanford Memorial Church. Much incon- venience has been experienced since the. | completion of the structure in hearing the words of the minister or the music from the organ, due to numerous echoes in tha church. After several experiments the trouble has been located in the large open dome above the apse, and in an effort to remedy the defect a network of wires is being stretched across the base of this dome. It is thought the vibrations ot these wires will destroy the objectionable echo. L e e ] the schooner at once put in, were con- vinced that the cook Ohto was behind Tanbara in his murderous deed, and every effort was made to connect Ohto with the crime, but the Grand Jury brought no indictment in his case. Tanbara was tried before United States District Judge Estee and found guilty. Subsequently he ad- mitted his guilt to the widow of the dead man. A reprieve was granted by Gov- ernor Dole to allow an appeal to Wash- ington, just in timé to stop the hanging on December 26, but President Roosevelt refused to exercise executive clemency.

C, Aug. 14.—Blood- shed resulted from a tribal fight which occurred last Saturday, fifty miles north- west of Skagway, between the Klukwan and Chilkat Indians. The Indians went on the warpath nearly a fortnight ago because of a dispute over the ownership of valley land, but not until last Saturday aid they come to blows. The Klukwans also believed that the Chilkats had be- witched the Klukwan chief so that he was willing to give them the land. United States Marshal Tompkins went out from Skagway on Monday to round up the murderous Indians. On Saturday morning a lone Chilkat visited the village of the Klukwans. He went gunning, with the redult that one of the opposing braves was laid low, and this raised the ire of bis tribesmen. The Klukwans immediately started out for re- venge And fell on the Chilkats’ camp on Saturday evening. Two of the Chilkats were killed, and according to the news heard in Skagway by passengers who ar- rived in Vancouver by the steamer Princess May this afternoon, there are others of the Chilkats who may die as a result of the row. One of the men Kkilled was a native po- liceman. Many of the Indians were armed with rifles. The Klukwans declare that the opposing tribe has been busy with incantations ever since the Govern- ment awarded the Klukwans =several thousand acres of land which had pre- viously been in dispute. First, the Kluk- wans say, pestilence visited them as a re- sult of the witchcraft of the Chilkats, and now their chief is so badly scared that he wants to give the land back, a fact which the Klukwans believe clearly points to the continued practice of witchery by their enemies. the Supreme | in the State. which is to meet An Providence, | | Asher, P.
