PACIFIC CABLE PEOPLE
HEARD AT WASHING TON

terprise. President Scrymser of the
South and Central American cable sys-
TEN made an argument favorable to
government control of the Pacific ca
Bile. citing incidents OF the Spanish
American war, showing the Importance
OF governmental control of the cable
In one case cited the Spanish Minister
of Marine cabled Admiral Cervera to
leave Santiago. II this dispatch had
not been intercepted. Mr.. Scrymser
said, the battle OF Santiago Bay would
not have been fought, and the conduct
OF the war might have been changed.
Thomas +. Hughes, representing an
American company which produces ca
bles, said that as good cables could be
made in the United States as in any
other part of the world, and he asked
that American labor and capital have
the advantage of doing this work.
Chairman Hepburn asked If this
American company was prepared to
make a definite business proposition to
the United States government. Hughes
replied that such a proposition would
be submitted in due form within the
next two days.
Hepburn asked that the formal prop
ositon be in alternative form-first. for
delivering cable of American make
at san Francisco; second, for making
and laying the cable to Hawaii, Guam
and Manila. Hughes thought the gov
ernment better able to do it's own cable
laying. using the army transports. AS
indicating the general character. Of the
forthcoming proposition. Hughes said
the cost would be within 10 per cent
of that stated as the cost of the Com
mercial Pacific Company's cable. The
additional 10 per cent, he stated. was
for the protection of American indus
try. Francis b. Thurber, president Of
the United States Export Association.
favored private construction as most
likely to give the earliest cable advan-
tages to the business world.
In the course Of statement by Will
liam COLON of New York, a director of
the Pacific Commercial Gable Com
pany, he said the company, after lay
ing the cable across the Pacific, stood
ready to sell it at any time to the
United States government at an ap-
praised valuation.
j. w. Henry, civil engineer for an
American company making cable. said
the company would furnish the govern
ment a cable at 81 1000 mile. which. to
Hawaii, would be about $2,20O,0O0. or
considerably below the cost OF for
eign made cable. The hearing will be
continued next Friday, when govern
ment officials will be heard on the gov
ernment project

Another New Yacht.

A new boat recently built by Charles
ID. Walker, was launched yesterday
morning. Her builder expects her to
turn out to be a very speedy craft.
The length over all is 10 feet; beam.
feet inches, and sail area, 325 square
feet. The boat, which is of the knock
about type. was designed especially for
pleasure sailing outside the reef. where
there is choppy sea, and for cruising
among the lochs of Pearl Harbor. Al
though not a racer by any means. sh'.
certainly will be a most speedy craft,
especially in rough water. She will take

VERDICT IS
TOO SMALL
The Reply Brief in
Pearl HarbOr
Case.
(From Thursdays daily)

The reply brief by Hatch & Sillimar
in the case OF United States VS.. Homo
lulu Plantation Co. was filed in Fed
eral court yesterday afternoon.
The first point discussed by counsel
is with regard to the amount OF the
verdict which plaintlff claims was ex-
cessive. The brief says: THE verdict
was probably unsatisfactory to both
parties to this litigation. The defend
ant certainly felt that 1t should receive
a much larger sum than the jury
awarded it. and believed that the evil
dence in this case clearly required the
finding of a verdict in the amount
claimed. to-wit, $4,000 A fair and
careful consideration of the record and
the evidence OF the different witnesses
who were called for plaintiff and de-
fendant must lead the mind to the con-
cluslon that the defendant was clearly
entitled to a larger verdict than was
found by the jury"
The brief refers to the fact that the
government called but two witnesses
Herbert and Archer, neither OF whom
were qualified as experts. "These were
the only two witnesses called by the
government on the question or valu.
in a country that Is full OF persons
having expert knowledge OF the value
of the kind Of land sought to be con-
demned. Auctioneers, brokers, real es-
tate men, promoters. government land
agents, members of tax appeal courts
and any others could have been found
qualified to express an opinion upon
the value of that leasehold interest.
"Is it not significant tina,
only two witnesses having no special
qualifications were called by the gov
ernment on the question of value!
Contrast these two witnesses with the
witnesses called by the defendant, and
the qualifications possessed by the one
with the qualifications possessed BY the
other
The charge OF Jumping values Is an
swered by the assertion that the court
had ruled that the single question for
the jury was the market value OF the
leasehold interest. which necessitated q
total valuation. 1t Is agreed also that
"the testimony was not speculative
but was as certain and reliable as could
be produced on an inquiry of this char.
acter."
As to the question Of improvements
the defendant argues that "the court
had charged the jury that they mus
find the value OF the leasehold interest.
and of the improvements separate ant
apart, one from the other"
This instruction was given at the re-
| quest ct eNunSai Cor PLAINTIFF. at is fur.
