TROUBLES OF THE
FAMILY DISCLOSED
Doctor Miner Makes Accuse
tloUs Against His Wife
in Court.

Dr. Frank Leslie Miner filed yester-
day answer to the divorce suit insti-
tuted some time ago by his wife, Mrs.
Rose Miner
The answer is a very lengthy docu-
ment. The doctor says that Mrs. Miner
has been titful and captious and that
without cause or provocation she would
fly into fits of passion that would at
times result in Mysteries She had a
decided objection to his treating any
women at all and she frequently enter
ed the room where he was treating n
patient and deliberately insulted or
snubbed the patient.
Mrs. Miner did not like Honolulu or
its people. DR.. Miner goes on, and not
only would she refuse to associate
with HonolulanS but she humiliated her
husband by insulting his friends in his
presence. She hoped thereby to force
her husband, he alleges to leave Homo
lulu for England where she has many
times commanded him to take her. He,
however refused to leave Honolulu,
where by hard work he had built up a
large and lucrative practice.
on two different occasions. DIR. Miner
charges his wife deserted him. The
first was in Salinas, California, and at
that time Mrs. Miner left him ard went
to san Francisco. saving she was going
to return to England. He followed her
and only secured her return by plead
ing and entreaties. The second occa-
sion was after a long tour in America
and England, when his wife refused to
return with him to Honolulu and he
had to leave her with their child in
England. She would not return until
he forced her to do so by refusing to
longer support her If she did not.
Further DR. Miner charges that Mrs,
Miner is of slovenly habits and that II
is so gross that II has made his life al
most intolerable. He has been COM
PEELED for long periods to attend to the
household duties which his wife should
have assumed, because she was too
lazy to do these things.
He denies that he ever abused Mrs.
Miner or that he struck her but he ad-
mits having at table thrown "A little
water from his glass at her. DR., Miner
denies that he ever abused his child
and expresses the greatest love for her,
but says that his wife Is a person
who ought not To have the care of the
child. He asks that the libel be dis
missed.

CONTRACT
UNSIGNED.
Book Trusts Schemes
Are a F allure As Yet
BOARD NOT IN, ITS CLUTCH
Superintendent Atkinson Makes a
Statement of the Status Of
the Matter.

Alatau r. Atkinson, superintendent
| of Public instruction, stated yesterday
to an Advertiser reporter that the con-
tract for supplying school books to the
public schools of Hawaii had not been
let to the American Book Company
which held the original contract given
four years ago. The proposal of Mr.. a.
j.. Gum, who represents the American
Book Company which was presented to
the Board of Education on Thursday
afternoon for consideration, was car
ried up to the Attorney General but no
contract has yet been made
Mr.. Atkinson made the following
statement:
AT yesterdays meeting | did not
give out the letter of Mr. Gum be-
cause | thought II was "A matter of
courtesy to submit it to the Attorney
! General before It was given to the pub
! lie Having submitted. ii to the AttOr-
ney General to-day there is no objection
whatever to making the contents of it
public
II have no desire to keep anything
back that the public should know.
That is the ground upon which l al
I
that this contract should be entered In
to is because we wish to go out of the
business of keeping a book store in the
| Board of Education. Such a thing Is
not conducted by other Boards of Edu-
cation in the United States as far as I
am able to ascertain. The reason for
doing so here in the past was on ac-
count of the abnormal conditions.
l Il
and we ought to be relieved of very
unpleasant duty.
"'ro obtain the results that we desire
we must make a contract with some
one so as to hold prices down and the
contract which Mr.. Gum has offered
seems to be fair and reasonable prop
osition.
! The public as represented is to be
protected in the matter of prices and
| the only way it can be done is by con-
tract. This proposition agrees to sell
books at the same prices they are sold
at in the United States and If the
prices are reduced elsewhere we will get
the benefit of 1t also"
Following Is copy of Mr. Gums
proposition:

Of the Territory of Hawaii.
