THE LETTER THAT
HELD THE MONEY
EXHIBIT B" WHICH LOCKS UP
$4,000 so THAT EVEN ]. ALFRED
MACON CAN'T GET IT.

Exhibit b" in the case of Bishop
Gulstan VS.. John X. Sumner, filed with
the circuit court, is letter to Bishops
bank which shows how the $4,000 de-
posted with the bank by Sumner was
tied up by the so-called Sumner heirs.
According to the latter it was already
tied up before they wrote their demand
that nothing be paid out except on the
bishops signature, for when Sumner
wrote a check for it, wanting to with
draw it, it is alleged to have been found
to be so deposited that the approval of
Magoon was needed before the bank
would pay anything out. Summers $4S-
600 deposit appeared to be a gold
brick.
The case is to come up before Judge
De Bolt tomorrow, for the purpose Of
considering a motion for an immediate
hearing. In the meantime the bank
has the $4,000 and doesn't know what
to do with it, holding it against all
sides under the warning contained in
the following letter:
"Messrs. Bishop & Co., Honolulu.
Dear Sirs: We are informed that Mr..
John x. Sumner has either deposited
with your firm or has procured some
one to deposit with you either as 'Trus-
tee or agent the sum of $4S, 900 or there
abouts. We desire to advise you that,
assuming our information in regard to
the deposit of this money to be correct
said sum was so deposited with you
and is now held by you, in violation Of
the articles, terms, letter, spirit and
intent of a certain Trust Deed made by
the said John X Sumner to the Right

18th day of September A. D. 1898, that
we are beneficiaries under said Deed Of

f1ciaries in all and every the property
therein mentioned, that If said money is
deposited with you as above stated you
are, in view of the knowledge now con-
veyed to you by this letter constructive

be held to have an interest in the prop
erty described in the Trust Deed above
mentioned.

purpose of harrassing you, or of sub
jecting you to any inconvenience or eX-
pense, but is written solely for the pur-
pose of protecting our rights in and to
said money, and of exempting you
from possible litigation if you should
permit the same to be withdrawn from
your possession. 1t is our intention to
assert our rights in the premises with

TO INVESTIGATE
FORAGE PLANTS
AN IMPORTANT WORK UNDER
TAKEN BY THE BREEDERS AS
ISOLATION AND JARED SMITH.

Following out the suggestions of the
last annual meeting and in response of
circular letter sent out by secretary
A. F. Judd many of the members of the
Hawaiian Live Stock Breeders Asso-
citation are sending reports on various
fodder grasses to Commissioner Jared
Smith who is to compile the statistics
for the organization, thus forming a
valuable record free of access to all
graziers.
Jared Smith will send out to all TAX
ing interest in these matters, franks in
the form of labels by which they can
send samples free of cost. He will
also make out form which is to be
filled up as far as possible. In the
case of an unusually promising fodder
plant Jared Smith himself will look
closely into it upon opportunity.
1t Is generally found that country
will yield forage adapted to its needs
provided the plants are encouraged and
disseminated by artificial means as
we'll as natural ones. The statistics to
be asked for from the graziers them
elves will include a description of the
plant, specimens of the same and an
swers to questions similar to the fol-
lowing.
Where does the plant GROVE, its ele-
walton, how closely is 1t cropped by the
cattle, apparent fattening effects, whe-
Their it is capable of growth on salty soil
or in the shade, height and density of
crop, at what season it flourishes, capa-
city for propagation and other technical
details.
All statistics gathered up to that date
Will be centered in a report which will
be read at the next annual meeting and
in which much interest will be taken.
Reports as to the success of forage
plants introduced by Jared Smith will
also be taken up. The chief endeavor
centers in the cultivation of indigenous
forage plants especial those that show
a disposition to thrive under adverse
circumstances.
Plants which are dangerous to sheep
and cattle like the famous loco weed of
western plains will be looked after with
equal interest and efforts concentrated
to destroy or at least avoid them.
Sheep, according to reports, seem able
to eat almost anything with impunity
and when hungry will get along on a
diet of young guava trees and other
heritage that respectable horse or COW
would pass by with disgust.

dated today" he asked, would there

 The Copper Queen company has generously donated the use of the Li- brary building for school purposes dur ing the coming year, and the old school house will be moved up in the same neighborhood. so there will not be any additional expense for school buildings. although the quarters will be crowded. A number of desks have been ordered. but they do not have to be paid for immediately
 Notwithstanding this donation of school room and time on the desks. it will be seen tat our school affaifs Ase not ins very good condition. and if we expect to have more than three months school it will be necessary for our citizens to take some steps and raise money. In order to run the school on q very economical basis for six months it will be necessary to provide about $1.0OO in addition to what the trustees will receive from the school fund. There are two ways of doing this-either by subscription or by special tax.
 Our citizens should exert them selves to keep the school open for at least six months. The International suggests the subscription plan as the most feasible, and will start the ball rolling with a subscription of s10.

THE DooUGLAs SCHOOL

The trustees of the Douglas public school are confronted with serious condition of affairs, owing to the rapid growth of the town. Last term the school had an enrolment of 80 pupils and the trustees, with the generous assistance of the International Land and Improvement company, succeeded in keeping the school open six months. But one teacher was employed. The school census this year showed over 200 children of school age in Douglas and in order to handle this large num- Der it has been necessary to employ three teachers. This number of teach CTS and the necessary current expenses will exhaust the appropriation in about three months. Owing to the fact that the appropriation for the ensuing

during the past week has been ordinarily
brisk. Many sales and transfers of prop

large, but all at fairly good prices for the
property. There has been a visible increase
in values during the week, and some of the
property disposed Of has been for prices
much higher than the appraised valuation
of the land.
The largest deed recorded during the
week was that of the Armstrong Park

year ago for $751; but the deed was not
filed until last week

lions between employer and employe that
has ever been placed upon the statute
books OF thet country. IL has been source
or trouble and annoyance TO both capital

HARSH LAWS UNNECESSARY.
The truth OF the matter is that all these
harsh measures legislating happiness and
prosperity in the world are unnecessary.
The people OF the United States are
thoroughly tired OF this eternal squabble
between employer and employee. and there
must be some way devised by which these
disputes can be settled without recourse
to violence. The time has gone by in this
country when men who work can be ground
beneath the heel of capitalists. and, like
wise. we are all getting heartily tired OF
the boycott, OF the picket" and all
the weapons used by organized labor for
achieving its ends. There must be a bet
ter understanding on both sides. l have
always had the belief that employees have
right TO set forth their grievances, and
have always made IL a point in my own
business career TO meet my employees
far i have had little trouble with the peo-
pie who work for me. Every morning
and afternoon there is a meeting of the
foremen or the various departments of the
Parry Manufacturing Company in my Of
nee. These men assemble there and L sit
down among them. The result is that 1
am enabled to know the exact feelings of
the people who work for our establish
ment, and II they have a grievance, and /
am able to remedy Ii, / have always been
glad TO do So Employers cannot always
pay the wages desired by employees. for If
excessive wages are TO be paid by single
establishments. then other establishments
in the same line will have the advantage
ana drive out that establishment paying
the higher wages Yet there can ALWAYS
be decency exercised in such matters and
at least the grievances of employees can
be heard and disposed OF in an intelligent
and orderly manner
L believe that employer and employee
must come together and develop closer re-
lations as time goes on, for we are all on
posed to the industrial prostration which
follows strikes and lockouts.
