EXCITES REPLY
CONTINUED from mage ~

IL tent and right has entered into a
contract with the Waikiki Land and
Loan Association, and the fifth excep.
ton is to the statement that the asso-
citation named was at the date of con.
tract owner of the McCuiiy tract and
OF large frontage on the Waikiki
road. this being the only feasible and
practicable street connecting Waikiki
witch the central portion of Honolulu.
The sixth impertinent and scandal
Gus portion OF the answer Is alleged
tc be in the assertion of what the de.
PENDANT has accomplished in con.
structing its line toward Waikiki road,
with an allegation that the extension
along the proposed route would work
great damage to the business Of the
Hawaiian Tramways Company, as
similar competition has done in other
parts of Honolulu.
Exception is taken TO the statement
that the Waikiki road is the most
feasible, convenient and proper route
fer defendants track and that its
construction and operation along any
other course would be at great loss
and damage to the defendant.
In the seventh and eighth excep
tons the plaintiffs declare IL imperti
nent and scandalous for defendant to
say that ever since the inception OF
its enterprise the Hawaiian Tramways
Company "has used every means in
its power to delay, defeat and EN-.
barrass the construction Of the de.
PENDANTS lines" and that IT is inform.
Cd and believes that the present suit
was instigated and is being carried
ur by the Hawaiian Tramways Com.
reny as part Of its plan to defeat and
prevent this defendant from reaching
Waikiki with its electric car line; also
thai the plaintiffs are not tAe real
&C mplainants, that the suit was insti.
gated and Is being carried on in bad
roith, that the plaintiffs have full
knowledge of such bad faith. in that
they know Of the rivalry existing be.
tv cen the two street railway compa.
MES; that the plaintiffs are not inter.
ested in the result Of this sui except
IT. so far as they have been promised
end have received benefit from the
Hawaiian Tramways Company Tor
their attitude and acts in bringing
this suit. and that the plaintiffs are
irequitably appearing in this court
and seeking a redress in equity. which
the law fully and amply affords them
II they are entitled thereto, and that
this suit has been brought and is be
ing prosecuted in bid faith and with
cut conscience and solely and wholly
ct the suggestion and instigation and
with the support of the corporation
between whom and this defendant
there exists a rivalry.
It is alleged to be impairment ant
scandalous TO say that the interests o
the public demand and require tina
the electric car line of defendant b,
constructed and operated to Waikiki
and that the inequita1ie and uncon
sdonable acts and conduct of thes'
Plaintiffs are working great and pub
lie injury and inconvenience"
Where the answer alleges that tn,
plaintiffs are not engaged In any prof
table business on the land In ques
tion, but are losing money thereon, ii
the tenth ground OF exception.
Finally, II is declared impertlnen
and scandalous for defendant to as
scrt that Il is abundantiy able to re
srond in damages to any claim or dc
mand which might be made by plain
TINS against II for any act or thin
dcne by defendant in the premises
and that the continuation of the In
junction heretofore issued is workin,
4 great damage to the defendant an,
causing great loss and inconyenienc,
TO the travelling public.
In all the respects cited. the com
plainants humbly insist that the an
swer of the Honolulu Rapid Transi
and Land Company Is irrelevant, i'm
pertinent and scandalous." There
fore they pray that the answer ma,
be eXpunged from rhe records.
