T. A. Hays, to restrain them ;rmm doing business in this Territory. | It is a test case to see what power the | Territory has in the taxation of extra- |territorial concerns doing business | through offices situated here. The At- | torney General's bill of complaint re-| cites that the respondent company ex- | | ists as a corporation organized under the laws of California, has its principal place of business in San Francisco, and | that for tweive months past it has been { doing business in Hawaii through its| axvm. \\'hu maintains an office here. | ital here, nor s it engaged in the bus ss of foreign or interstate commerce, ,,l the complaint alleges it has failed to perform the following acts required | | by the Terfitorial law: { It has neglected to file a copy of its | | charte it has failed to file with the | | Treasurer the names of its officers; it has failed to file the name of a person | upon hom legal notices may be served; it has neglected to file state- ments of its affairs, and it has failed to obtain ah annual license for the use of | its agent, T. A. Ha The fight thus begun is one which has been fought out in many States of the | Union with varying success. The point | that the Attorney General is seeking to éstablish is -that the foreign concerns come here to compete with local mer- chants and pay no taxes of any sort. | The last Legislature drew up a law to it is being applied. The statute is based on a Pennsylvania statute which has stood the test of the federal courts. The line of defense against it in all probability will be that the statute is in contr: vention of the interstate commerce laws, and the question will be fought out along that line. —_——— DEMISE OF YOUNG GIRL SURROU \l)l D BY MYSTERY | Visitor to Fair City From New York | Believed to Have Starved | to Death. | ST.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2.—The Northern Pacific Railroad has issued a circular caliing attention to the large number of farm employes that will be required in its territory to harvest crops.

For five days and nights he had shadowed her home at 2676 McAllister street, compelling her and her two children to remain within doors until they were forced by hunger to tele- phone for police protection, “Bless ’er ’art,” said Mr. Keyes, smiling blandly upon the shrinking voman, “I-wouldn’t 'urt an ’‘air of ‘er head. She knows 1 love ‘er so 'ard that 1 cawn’'t live without ’er. 'Er children 'ave turned 'er 'art against me, and hif I could get her awai from ‘em we could dwell in 'appiness to- gether.

He declared that for six years prior to their marriage two and a half years ago the woman and he had lived to- “Even if your statement is true you was the Judge's comment. S Henry Hahn and a few jovial com- panions were crossing a vacant lot on Howard street, between Sixth and Sev- enth, at a late hour on Monday night, when they became entangled in some loose wire that had been left there by linemen. The more they struggled to extricate themselves the more they became entangied, and they were swearing strange oaths with loud voices when Patrolman Castro, who was two blocks away, overheard them. Thinking a riot was In progress, he hastened to the spot and fell among the cursing, writhing crew, one of whom, Henry Hahn, violently assault- ed him. With the aid of lighted | natches and a wire cutter the officer | arresting and carrying | |away Mr. leaving the others to unwrap lves as best they could. In response to Hahn's plea that he did not know that the person was a policeman, Judge Cabaniss im- posed a fine of only $5. S. Mehr, a curly-haired little Scan- dinavian, pleaded guilty of obtaining $7 from Subfin under false pre- tense, and Judge Fritz sent him up for ninety days. By representing him- self to be the [ or of great wealth and in quest of a desirable investment, Mr. Mehr succeeded in ‘“‘borrowing” from the credulous Mr. Subfin several smaller sums than the one afore men- tioned. Michael Garc was accused of sell- ing liquor without a license, and the complaining policeman testified that he had purchased a bottle of beer and four drinks of whisky and partaken of free lunch in the defendant's gro- | o before he made the arrest. Then ake the earnest young attorney for “Did you see any other eating para- phernalia on the premises?’ Judge Conlan and every one in the| ourtroom stared inquiringly at the who deliberately repeated the question: —ask—you—if—you—saw—any—oth- eating — paraphernalia — on—the — premi ' The policeman said he didn’t under- stand. Clerk Rice suggested ‘chiffo- niers” and Bailiff Laws ventured “side- s.'” The Judge abruptly and cold- ly dismissed the case, and the triumph- applications for further en- lightenment as to what he really did mean. e e After examining the material evi- dence in the case of Estella Welley, a Marine Hospital nurse, who caused the a A GOVERNMENT assimilate it wi Not only the most easily digested food in the world and con- taining dore available nourishment than any other, GRAPE- NUTS food is also especially prepared to rebuild and re- store the daily wear and tear on Byain and Nerve centres.

Th bottle from which the fatal draugh was taken was plainly marked *‘poison’ and differed somewhat in shape from the bottle containing the medicine. Manslaughter is the charge against the | woman, and the Judge intimated that he might deem it advisable to send the case to a jury. Joe de Falco's neglect to transfer his | peddler’s license tag from his old vest ! when he donned a new one led to his arrest. Judge Cabaniss dismissed the case after he had kindly advised the absent-minded peddler either to change vests again or to transfer the tag be- | fore resuming buclness | Patrolmen et N Mills were | passing the saloon of P. M. Woodson, | on Leavenworth street, at 2:30 o’clock yesterday morning when their ears were assailed by the refrain of “A Bit of Blarney” warbled by a badly bal- They invaded | the wet goods shop and in a rear room Gallagher, Florence Grifith, Nancy Watts and Isabella Post violating the rudiments of voecal har- mony, while Mr. Woodson approvingly listened. When asked if he knew that! he was fracturing an ordinance by al- | {lowing music—or discord—to be created | in his establishment after midnight, he replied that he was simply doing what many other saloonists farther down town were doing, and hinted that in their interference with him the police- men were showing discrimination. They retorted that they permitted no law- | breaking on their beat and that if Mr. | Woodson persisted in making himself | an exception to the rule they would be ! compelled to arrest him. Then the la- | dies ceased trying to sing and began | telling each other what they thought of | as a whole and its two | presentatives there present in par-| ticular, said comments being of such wuncomplimentary character that the ar- | rest of their authors was also decided upon. When the case was called in Judge | Conlan’s court the officers testified that their trouble did not fairly begin until | the patrol wagon arrived at the saloon in response to their summons. Then one | of the female prisoners, whose indi-' vidual avoirdupois was estimated at 210 | pounds, resolutely declined to enter the vehicle and resisted effort to thrust her into it. The united efforts of four stal- wart men were puny as compared to the physical strength displayed by the woman, and the question of sending for | a derrick was under serious discussion | when Mr. Woodson and the other wom- | en stepped in and by suasion and force | obviated further difficulty. The case was continued for a week, and Mr. Woodson was informed that his violation of the midnight ordinance would be reported to the Police Com- | mission. . John Bacigalupi while engaged in Bl- tercation with a newsboy on Broadway | incidentally hurled a heavy rock at his opponent. The missile missed its in-! tended mark, caromed off a curb and struck Patrolman Proll upon the head, creating a bump that seriously inter- fered with the prover wearing of his official helmet. The bump was exhib ited to Judge Conlan, who carefully noted its size and formation and then continued the case to allow Mr. Baci- galupi to bring in sestimony for his de- fense. | Annie Wilson, pert and smiling and gorgeously appareled, beamed upon Judge Fritz when he stated that the charge of drunkenness against her had been pretty clearly proved. She fairly radiated human kindness. “How much is it?” she chirruped, | opening a red morocco hand satchel | embellished with “A. W.” “in brassy flowing script. P “How much is what?’ his Honor asked. i “The fine,” she chuckled. When informed that the fine was $5 she promptly paid it, and then inquired | hew much she owed the Judge for his trouble. “Not a cent,” Clerk Duffie re- plied. that funny?” tit- Well, ain’t tered Annie Wilson. . R Attorney Mack asserted, and prom- ised to prove, that there was collusion between Nellie Bennett and the man | who sold two diamond rings which she | alleged were mysteriously stolen rrom‘ her and which she sought to recover | from the pawnbroker who bought them | for $200. Ex-Judge D. J. Murphy de- | clared with equal positiveness his nbll-| ity to prove that the woman had no connection whatever with the seller of | the jewelry. Then the case was con- tinued for two weeks by Judge Fritz, who said that if collusion was not then established he would order the restora- tion of the rings to the woman. In the course of her testimony Mrs. Bennett confessed that she has been twice married and as many times di- vorced. One of her ex-husbands is an official of Tonopah County, Nevada, and he is the person whom Attorney Mack evidently suspects of having been in collusion with her when the rings were sold. Effort to have him—or even his photograph—produced in court has been unavamng | James F. Young, accused of swind- ! ling Mrs. Sarah E. Johnson out of $2000 by means of a get-rich-quick scheme, | had a hearing before Judge Fritz, the charge being grand larceny. The case was continued till August 11, the de- fendant's bail being reduced from $5000 to $2000. The original charge of felony | embezzlement against Young will prob- | ably be taken up this morning byx Judge Csbnnlss‘ | . | Judge Ca{nnlss dismissed the charge ! of mugder against Giovanni Fossa be- cause two of the principal witnesses for | the prosecution had left the State. The case had been in the courts since June 2, 1902, when Fossa was arrested | for throwing Vencenzo Lavagnino down | stairs in a house in the Italian quarter. Lavagnino died from his injuries, and Judge Conlan held Fossa for man- slaughter. District Attorney Byington, however, filed a new complaint, charg- ing murder, and Superior Judge Lawlor dismissed it in_accordance with a re- cent Supreme Court decision to the ef-! fect. that a defendant could not be ! placed twice in jeopardy for a single | crime. Byington then filed another complaint, and the preliminary hearing of it yesterday by Judge Cabaniss re- sulted in Fosra again being discharged. o oSl e it L Marrics an Oakland Man. Mortimer H. Reed, a rising young business man of Oakland, and Miss Geneva Raleigh of 22 Shotwell street were married at the home of the bride yvesterday. W. M.
