Adams 4 Bro. About to Retire
From Active Business.
HARVEY J. WILEY APPOINTED
The Step Taken in Order to Protect
the Firm From Suits Of
Numerous Small
Creditors.

The business Of Adams 4 Bro, toy
and household supply dealers, 5O4
Market street, was yesterday placed in
the hands Of Il receiver upon u petition
signed by botl, members OF the firm.
The reason assigned for this action is
that the firm desirs to dissolve pa"tner-
ship and retire from business, but as
neither Of the brothers will assume the
indebtedness Of the firm the business
could not he closed out protitably by
any other method.
There are ~ far only three judgments
against the firm, two in favor Of Samuel
II. Wiley for l.22:i;S and $500 and one in
favor Of Harry Adams for $'775. Bu.
there are number of creditors to whom
the firm is indebted in sums ranging
from $40 to $4OO, and it is to protect the
interests Of the firm from suits which
might have been brought by these
creditors that Il receiver was asked for.
Harvey J. Wiley was yesterday ap.
pointed receiver, and he will look after
the interests Of the creditors in the clos
ing Of the firms business.
The firm Of Adams 4 Bro has been
in business in this city since 1865 and
has always been considered solid, fnan.
cially, and has transacted business Of
many thousands Of dollars a year. AT
present Il stock valued at over $4,000 il
carried and the liabilities are com
paratively small.
Aside from the stock now in the Mar

the building and lot at 5O4 Market street
and the dwelling house No. 7O7 French
street. The Market st,vet lot is valued
at 81 200 Il foot, while the French street
property is considered quite valuable.
The store will not be closed nor the
business interte,vd with, as arrange
mcnts have been made whereby the store
can be- kept open and the sale OF guods
continued.
Receiver Wiley says the step was taken
by Adams &l'ro. simply to protect
themselves from the small creditors, bu,
i, is only \ question OF II short time BE-.
fore all will receive every cent that il

FOR A FIVE CENT FARE
The Hawaiian Tfamxays Company huSl
Reduce lis Rates
The Days Of Ten and fl0en Cent Fares Rave
Gone By, According 10 a
Correspondent

AaAAA'h haNfNAAN' 'hfasfaaaa
By Publishing the text OF the pro
posed Act Of the Legislature 10y
which the Hawaiian Tramways
Company hopes 10 secure a new
charter, the public at last get some
definite know ledge Of what the
company wants. This may, per.
baps, be tersely expressed as "the
earth with a fence around It,"
The company seems to want every
thing in sight or likely to be IN
sight for the next thirty three
years at least.
There is one feature of the bill
which condemns it utterly to my
MUD, and | think will meet with
equal disfavor from everyone who
has occasion to use the line. This
is the clause which allows three
separate fares of five cents to be
charged. IL read the bill cor
rectly, the rate of fare from Ka
lihi to Waikiki will be fifteen
cents, the same as it is now. From
Punahou to the Electric Light
Station, which means the foot of
Judd street, for it will be many q
long year before that extension is
built, is the same as now, and the
public owe that concession to one
g. V. Sturdevant and the decision
of the Courts which he invoked.
From Punahou to Kalihi is ten
cents, the same as at present.
The company offers nothing in
the shape of reduction of fares
as a quid pro quo for the fran
chise sought for, but like the
octopus is only squirming and
wriggling to get a better hold on
what it already has, and squeeze
the public a little harder.
Let it be understood, Mr.. Editor,
that the time has arrived when a
five cent fare il a necessity and a
sine qua non for any concession
whatever. Everywhere through
out the civilized world the tenden
cy in all cities is to reduce fares
and the greater the opportunities
offered for rapid transit the lowe
the fares. The time has gone by
for such exorbitant rates as nov
prevail in this city, and the tim'
has come when any tramway
company must be content with I
reasonable fare for an averag,
ride. BY an average ride | meal
one in which the man who rides
only two or three blocks averages
the distance with the man who
rides the full length of the line.
Again, the proposed rates ar
inconsistent. A passenger going
from Punahou to the Electri
Light Station via Queen stree
travels some five miles for fiv,
cents, while another going from
town to the Sunny South OF
the Waikiki road, less than tw'
} miles, has to pay ten cents. Othe
similar Inconsistencies can b
pointed out in the schedule.
Let me hope, Mr.. Editor, tina
you will lend the aid of you
journal in support Of the PROPOSE
ton that no concession whateve
be made by the Legislature to th
, Hawaiian Tramways Compan.
except on the basis of five cen
fare to any portion of the route
: trsversed by it's lines.
