DID THE JUDGE
MAKE AN ERROR?
Hilo Company Petitions Supreme
Court to Reverse a
Ruling.

The Volcano Stables and Transporta-
tion Company of Hilo as plaintiffs in
error against Hayashi and Y. Hawaii,
defendants in error, have petitioned the
Supreme Court to have a decision OF the
Circuit Court Judge of the Fourth Cir
cult reversed in their favor.
The plaintiff alleges that on February
S. 1901. the Circuit Judge of the Fourth
Circuit entered judgment in favor of the
defendants against the plaintiff, in which
judgment and the proceedings had prior
therein certain errors were committed to
the prejudice of the plaintiff which are
set out in detail in the assignment of
errors which is filed with the petition
elapsed since the rendition of the judg-
jections and exceptions We're made on the
decision at the time the judgment was
rendered and the same allowed. The
Judgment, the plaintiff declares, has not
been satisfied. nor have the costs to
which the defendants are entitled been
paid.
Among the errors cited are that the
Judge erred in deciding that the District
Court for South Hilo had no jurisdiction.
Also that he erred in deciding that be-
cause the bond in the action was for ST.
900. no action could be brought for $500.
They allege he erred in dismissing the
action and in not affirming the judgment
of the lower court in favor of the plain
tiff for $500, the amount sued for in the
District Court for which judgment was
rendered. Wise & Nickeus, attorneys for

Henry Hin, manager OF the Hawaii

the fiotation Of the stock of the local

Manager Hin had a hard fight with
the American Shoe Machinery Company
. TO COnCede to the Hawaiian company
the right TO own the machinery, m
stead Of holding IL under lease and
paying a royalty to the manufacturers.
The fight was aided by the manufac-
turers OF shoes, as against the patent

cry company has hitherto only leased
its machinery to manufacturers of
footwear. The controversy lasted for
nearly three months, resulting finally
In the concession being made.
The advantage of owning its own
plant means much TO the factory TO be
established here. Each pair OF shoes
that is turned or OF these machines
elsewhere has to pay a royalty to the
machine manufacturers before II pass

Under the concession gained by Mr
Hill this royalty method Is done away
with entirely.

Water for Ballast.

The French ship Cape Horn, now out
forty-one days on the way from Iqui-
que for San Francisco, Is said to be the
first entirely water-ballast vessel to
come to this Coast. The Cape Horn,
which is of 2.27s registered tonnage, has
a capacity of 1850 tons water ballast,
of which 600 is in the double bottom and
I.150 in the hold, which is in the center
of the ship and divided into eight COM
partments. In 1889 the Cape Horn made
the trip from Rio de Janeiro TO the
west coast OF South America entirely
with water ballast and was the first
vessel to make a long trip under those
circumstances. The Cape Horn is own
ed by Bordes & Son of Paris, who are
reported to be the largest ship owners
In the world. having a fleet last year

papers I'm ihr suu have been sent to Ho-

Hackt.,G auu company In their com
plant alIeEc the full wing fncts: THAT
the orator Is a BODY pOiuc corporate,
and the defendants are doing business
as coffee planters at Olaa. That on May
4 1897 the defendants were indebted to
Paul Isenberg and j. +. Hackfeld, doing
business in Honolulu under the firm
name of Hackfeld and Company. In the
sum of sl,75O on that date the plaintiffs
field and Company to advance from time
to time certain moneys and to furnish
them with certain goods, wares and mer-
chandise. and offered to make and exc
cute and deliver to Hackfeld and Com
pany, a sufficient deed of mortgage.
The plaintiffs agreed to this, and the
mortgage was delivered to them whereby
tho defendants sold and conveyed all
their land and property In Olaa, which
are known as Olaa lots 159, 1853, l6i and
165. Issued by the Government to ]. f.

all the buildings and other structures
erected on such land, together with all
machinery. live stock, wagons and other
things on the lands at the time OF the
execution Of the deed.
The crops OF coffee raised and being
raised were also included in the convey
ance The defendants were to pay the
sum of s1,75O within ten years from the
date OF the mortgage and were to pay in
terest annually to Hackfeld and Compa-
ny, at the rate of 10 per cent.
Hackfeld and Company allege that the
defendants have utterly failed to keep
any book OF account, as provided In the
terms OF agreement and refused the ora

deep consultation about the necessary
methods to be adopted to fire the Gov

tory bodily out of office and even from
this mundane sphere.
The minutes We're read and while that
process was going on an "uitlander"
dropped some documents on the press
table. The man who represents Judge
Humphreys organ picked them up and
actually blushed when he saw that one
paper was bill, true bill, from EN-
meluth 4 Co against the secretary Of
the Senate for ten cents for can
opener, and the other bill contained
sundry items claimed by Emmeluth &
Co to be due to them, including one
calling for ten cents for n liquor meas
ure. The reporter dropped the bills
Immediately. and they were tabled"
as Humphreys was not there to dig up
and save the secretary's pound of flesh

PROF. RosMER WRITES.
He Takes Issue With Mark Twain's
Charges Against DR. Ament.

Prof. F. A. Hosmer, formerly presi-
dent of Oahu College, has the follow
ing letter in the Springfield (Mass)
Union:
To the Editor of the Union:
Sr-Mark Twain's unjust charges in
the current number of the North Amer
lean Review against Rev. Dr. William
S. Ament, an American missionary in
Peking, are ably refuted by DIR. Judson
Smith in the Boston Herald of yester-
day, but how many read the hasty
criticism and how few see the defense!
1t reminds one of the cruel attack some
years ago by Robert Louis Stevenson
upon the late Rev. DR. Hyde of Homo
lulu.
/ have the honor of knowing person
ally Rev. DR. Ament and am familiar
with his long and useful career in
China, and l would as soon suspect Mr..
Clemens himself of picking as
accuse Dr. Ament of misapproprlating
funds. The charge Is absurd and ut
terly without foundation.
We all admire Mark Twain, but we
feel that the genial sunshine of his good
humor suffered a painful eclipse when
he wrote ITO the Person Sitting in
Darkness"
However, We are confident that Mr.,
Clemens will do the right thing and
apologize. Respectfully

for the road in Moloaa, district of Ka-

Several House bills were read and
referred to committees and under sus-

allowed to make a report on Senate bill

ommends the passage of the bill and
was laid on the table to be considered
with the bill.
