HE CASE of the Hawaiian Elec-
I trio Light Company, Limited. VS..
~ c. II. Brown, the well-known
plumber, to recover the amount of a
bill which the company had rendered
the defendant, was tried before Judge
Dickey, and was practically a defeat
for the Hawaiian Electric Company,
although the plaintiff was given judg-
ment for the bill based on the legal rate
for lamps as provided in the statutes.
It was stated before the court that
for the first month the defendant had
been charged 1915 for the use of the
company's electricity at his dwelling
house on Young street; the next month
he was rendered q bill for s4.75; the
third month the bill had run up to the
sum of 1865; the next month it was
s11.aO. and so on. Mr.. Brown refused
TO pay the bill. Judge Dickey stated
in his decision that the electric COM
pany could not charge any rates taken
from the meter that will be over the
fiat rate provided in the statutes, or 30
cents for the first FIVE lamps and 60
cents for all others. Judge Dickey
threw out the meter rates altogether,
but gave judgment for the fat rate
which practically cut the bill in two.
The company gave notice of appeal.

The shades of last night were falling

the Union League Club. Mayor Mark

so was Mr. Ebert Rappleye. Colonel

but that wary gentleman didn't show up.
The four gentlemen waited and waited

proceeded to talk oyer the disturbances

them. They had all read the s'Jersey

MYSTERY
OF A BABY
Deserted in Bayonne After
Being Deserted in Eliza
bethport.
HUSBAND HITS HUSBAND
A Young Couples Queer Mis-
take Wanted a Solomon
in Bayonne.
HUSBAND HITS HUSBAND

A sensational case involving dispute
as to the ownership of a one-year-old
child came up before Aeting Recorder
John +. Lee in the Bayonne Police Court
this morning. The child in question was
found deserted on the doorstep of the
home of Charles Cure, at No. 63 Silver
street, shortly after ten o'clock last
night Cure took it to the Seventh street
station house.
He said he noticed man and womaG
pass his house shortly before and he was
suspicious that they had abandoned the
child.
Policeman Cosgrove arrested the man
and woman later. The couple admitted
having abandoned the child, but said
they intended to leave it at the home of
William Kasting, at No. 80 Silver street.
They left it at Cures home by, mistake,
they said They described themselves
as Gorge and Elizabeth Zingler, of No.
They said they were married a year ago.
When asked why they desired to leave
the child at Hastings home, Zingler and
his wife declared that Mrs. Kasting was
it's mother. Zjngler, who keeps grocery
store in Elizabethport, said that Mrs.
Kasting had left the baby at his store
on Monday night.
After the couple had told their story
Kasting was summoned to the police
station. He denied the accusations made
against his wife and emphasized his dis
approval of Zingler's charges by striking
the latter vicious blow in the face.
The two men then clenched and had to
be separated by the police.
In the Recorders court this morning
Zingler and his young wife repeated the
story to the effect that Mrs. Kasting
had left the child at their store. they
said that they simply wanted to return
the baby to her.
Lawyer Allan Benny who represented
Kasting and his wife, asked Zingler to
look the child in the face and see if he
could not recognize it. Zingler denied
emphatically that he was the child's
father. He said he was married last
January.
Acting Recorder Lee received Zingler' s
complaint against Kasting for assault
and battery and released him under bail
to await the action of the grand jury.
The disposition of the child was post
poned until the case could be thoroughly
Investigated.
