point that represents a certain unit of in

Colonel Macfarlane has had long ex-

speaks from an intimate knowledge. He
took Hawaiian Government bonds in
London-$2, 100000 of them-and they
went to 13 per cent premium. He after

CALIFORNIA BONDS
QUOTED IN LONDON
A Distinction Accorded for
the First Time in
History.
The Honor Secured to the Ha.
waiian Commercial and
Sugar Company.
Stock and Bond Exchange Look to 1t
as the Entering Wedge for
Other Securities.

The interesting information came by
cable to the Stock and Bond Exchange
yesterday that the recent issue Of the local
bonds of the Hawaiian Commercial and
Sugar Company of this City had been
given an official quotation by the London
| Stock Exchange.
This is an entirely unique distinction
1t being the first purely Californian
security so honored. The issue of three
quarters OF million of these bonds was
recently fioated by Colonel George w.
Macfarlane in London. This issue is a
conversion OF the bonds of a former issue
which had been running for some years at
per cent rate of interest. That issue
matured last year and the conversion was
made at 5X Per cent. The bonds have
been also listed on the local Stock Ex-
change and will thus have the advantage
of a double quotation an advantage said to
be enjoyed by no other bonds here, and
which is certain, say dealers, to send them
to good premium in course OF time.
The official listing of this California Sc
curity in London, it is thought, will prove
the entering wedge for floating other
local bonds and shares of other and larger
California corporations in that great
money market. This is why the news cre-
ated so much interest on Change yes

A LAND SWINDLE.
The Grand Jury Hears Evidence in a
Sharp Practice Case Between
Farmers

The Grand Jury was employed yester-
day in hearing a quantity of testimony in
several allegations of crime. The case OF
Jacob l. Thurston, charged with firing a
shot at George H. Pettis in a saloon on
San Jose avenue recently. was begun and
will be resumed on Friday.
A number OF witnesses were heard in an
allegation against George W., John T. and
c. H. Donaldson, charging them with
having swindled George w. Robinson in
land transaction. The story goes that
Robinson exchanged farm in Monterey
County for a larger farm with Donald
son, in consideration for which he not
only gave clear deed for his farm, but
$500 in cash. 1t has since developed, ac-
cording to the allegations, that Donald
sons farm, for whicn he gave what pur-
ported to be deed, was. in fact, not his,
having been sold to the State for taxes, as
we'll as being heavily mortgaged. This
case will also be concluded on Friday. II
is almost certain that an Indictment will
be found.

MAYOR PINGREE OUSTED
DECISION AGAINST MICHIGAN,S .PO-
TATO PATCH" GOVERNOR.
Supreme Court Says He Cannot Law
fully Hold Two Offices and Must
Vacate the MayoraIty

LANSING, Mich, March 19.-Governor
Pingree is ousted from the office of mayor
of Detroit Such is the mandate of the
Michigan Supreme Court, which orders a
special election for mayor April 5. The de-
cision, which was unanimous, was handed
down at $50 p. m. to-day.
The court in substance states that two
theories are presented: 'rst, that the hold
ing of two such offices is IN conflict with the
State Constitution; sec' Id. that the offices
are Incompatible under the common law.
Both of these propositions are sustained A
large number of decisions are quoted re-
specting the first theory. which substan-
TALLY agree that the holding of offices
purely municipal would not come within the
constitutional prohibition. but that officers
in cities, appointive elective under the
laws of the State which imposed duties in
relations to state affairs may be said to
hold Office under the State. The language
of the State Constitution on this subject
Is as follows: mo member of Congress nor
any person holding office under the United
States or this State shall execute the office
of Goveror'
The court says: I'VE do not recall a case
or reason that has been governed that
Will satisfactorily explain why a MAYOR of
a city can hold the executive offict OF Gov
ernor when an incumbent of the lowest
township office is prohibited therefrom"
On the question OF incompatibilty the
court says: 1t is universal rule that
when incompatibility exists in the latter Of
flee IL yacates the first Office For viola
tiorS of some of the duties of MAYOR that
officer might be removed by the Governor.
We have been unable 10 find any decision
10 the effect that one person NAV hold
two offices. in one of which he is Clothed
with power 10 remove the person holding
the other"
Upon the contention which was urged
that the approval OF the people (which Is
law) was evident in the tremendous major
ity which Pingree received as Governor the
court says: IF in the law the effect of
the election of Mr.. Pingree and his accept
ance or the office of Governor operated to
vacate the office OF mayor, court that
would weigh majorities which expressed fne
would deserve Impeachment and contume-
