TEST CASE DECIDED.
Judge Taylor of Terre Haute on the Nicholson Law
VERY IMPORTANT DECISION.
He Does Not Hold It Unconstitutional but Inoperative, to a Certain Extent, on Account of a Defective Penal Clause—A
Youthful Forger Various Other Indiana State News. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Aug. 2.—Judge
Taylor of the circuit court yesterday decided the test case of the Nicholson law, brought by the Terre Haute Brewing company. The courtroom was crowded with spectators. Lamb fe Beasley and Samuel R. Hamill represented the contestants and Prosecuting Attorney Huston the state. The court delivered a lengthy opinion, in which he did not pass upon the constitutionality of the law, but in effect held that it was inoperative because of a blunder of the legislature in the wording of the penal clause of the act.
Judge Taylor in effect holds that before there may be a conviction under Sections 2, 3 and 4 the indictment must charge the violation of all the provisions of the section under which the charge is made. In other words, if a dealer violates one or more of the provisions of either of these sections, and doe^ not violate the provisions of such section, lie can not be convicted of any of them. The penal clause of Section 4, which also applies to sections

SHP1#
2
and 3, reads as
follows: "Upon conviction for the violation of this or either of the foregoing sections, etc."
As an illustration of the effect of the opinion, Section 2 may be cited. There are three separate and distinct offenses contained therein, as follows: Prohibiting any other business in the same room with a saloon prohibiting any device for amusement or music, and prohibiting partitions.
The court holds that if the dealer violates either one or two of these and not the third, under the wording of the penal clause in Section 4, he can not be convicted of any of them. The inference to be drawn from the court's opinion is that the clause should read as follows: "Upon the conviction for thS violation of any of the provisions of this act or.section.*' This is said to be the usual* iiaethod of writing the penal clause.',. Leading attorneys here regard the opinion as a formidable one, and one likely to stand the test of the supreme court.

RIGHTS OF AN AMERICAN CITIZEN.
Hawaii Has Probably G«ine Too Far and Will Be Called Down. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2.—The steam-
er Mariposa arrived yesterday from Sydney and Auckland via Samoa and Honolulu bringing the following Hawaiian advices under date of July 25:
Considerable pressure is being brought to bear to cause the legislature, now in session, to pass a joint resolution author-,. izing and instructing President Dole to reopen annexation negotiations with the United States. At a meeting recently held by the native Hawaiian organization, resolutions to that effect were passed. It is believed that such a resolution will be introduced by the executive before the senate adjourns.
The first claims for damages against the government for wholesale arrests made during the January revolt is in the hands of Minister Hatch. It was handed him by United States Minister Willis. The claimant is James Durrell, an American citizen. He was arrested and confined about seven weeks. No charge was made against the man. He was simply held on suspicion. He filed a claim for $25,000 damages with the American minister, winch was duly forwarded to the state department. An answer came by the last mail.
Minister Willis' statement to Minister Hatch says that Durrell declares he has never by word or deed forieited his allegiance to United States that he has neither done nor spoken anything directly or indirectly against the government of Hawaii or its laws that he has never expressed sentiments antagonistic to that government or in any manner counselled, encouraged, aided or abetted its enemies in armed rebellion or secret plotting. '1 "These statements," Mr. Willis says,
patch received yesterday by the state department from United States Consul Campbell at the island of Mauritius, both contain notification of the arrival of Mrs. Waller and her four children at Port Louis, Mauritius, from Antananarivo, Madagascar, about the middle of June. The letter said that the mother and children were well, but that Mrs. Waller was suliermg intense mental distress owing to ber husband's misfortunes and the hardships she and the children had to undergo. They did not know how they were going to reach the United States, boiug.„ .without money

"establish in the opinion of the president of the United States a prima facie claim for substantial indemnity from the Hawaiian government £0 Mr. Durrell. I am instructed therefore to bring this case to the attention of the Hawaiian authorities, leaving no doubt in their minds of the confidence felt at Washington that the government of Hawaii will not refuse to tender adequate reparation to this injured citizen ox the United States, nor hesitate to take prompt measures to exhonerate him from the imputation which this arbitrary treatment has left upon his-., good name."
It is believed that Mr. Willis' letter*will lead to international complications,, as it is understood that this government does not intend to pay Durr^i one dollar.
WILL THIS EVER BE SETTLED?
Tlie "Waller Case Again iJrouglit Trmni..: nently to tlie Front. WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—All the mem
