THREE RULINGS IN
SUPREME. COURT
Qrom Thursdays daily)

The Supreme Court handed down
three decisions yesterday, reversing the
Circuit Court in one, sustaining the
court in the second and in the third
taxing a half way stand.
In the case of Edward Armitage V.
T.. +, Bishop, administrator of the es-
tate Of David Center, the lower court
Is reversed. This was a suit upon a
promissory note for assumpsit in the
amount Of s4725O for professional SER
vices as a physician to attend Center.
The court holds that the ruling of the
lower court was erroneous and upon
the defendants own answer the plain
tiff was entitled to judgment. The
plaintiff was entitled to something for
the services rendered, and the order OF
the court in granting a non suit is held
to be erroneous.
The judgment of the Circuit Court Is
sustained in the case OF Frank Lillis
V. James Carly. This was an action
for damages growing out of a horse
trade. The lower court gave judgment
for the defendant, and the Supreme

PHILLIPS ROASTS
CAPT. WILLIAMSON

SAN FRANCISCO March 20.-Chief
Engineer W. II. Phillips Of the trans
port Warren returned yesterday on the
steamer City of Picking AS a result OF
the alleged presumptuous interference
Of Captain Nick. Williamson, depot
quartermaster of Honolulu, i'm the work
of repairing the damage to the War
ren's propeller, Phillips resigned his po-
sition. First Assistant Engineer T..
Swain and Second Assistant Engineer
w. Henning of the Warren also resign
ed their positions for the same reason
Swain accepting a position on an in
terisland steamer and Henning taking
Il position at the quarantine station AT
Honolulu.
THE Interference of this Captain
Williamson, "A cavalry officer, was more
than | could stand" said Phillips yes
terday. He appeared to have superior
knowledge Of everything pertaining to
the transport, and was generally very
annoying. He even attended to the
work of raising the stern of the vessel
so that work could be prosecuted in re-
pairing the broken propeller, his meth
Cd in this instance consisting in plac-
ing 800 sacks of coal on the forecastle
head
He gave orders to Foreman Will
liams of the Honolulu Iron Works, who
was experimenting the work with a
force OF mechanics, and said that I'M
less his verbal orders were obeyed he
would put them in writing, and if they
We're then unheeded all hands would be
discharged. Williams wanted to know
If he was to be annoyed by too many
orders in the matter from different
bosses.

DESERTER ON
S. S. SIERRA

Before the Sierra reaches San Fran
cisco there is a possibility that one OF
the coal passers will be in double irons.
In his mail yesterday morning Admiral
Merry found a letter from Commando
Sebree of the Abarenda, governor OF
the naval reservation Of Tutuila, tell
ing of the desertion of one OF the fire
men of the station ship, and expressing
the belief that the missing man had
slowed away on the Sierra.
Lieut.. Rodman was sent to the ship
and Captain Houdlette said that the
description fitted a man found on board
the Sierra after she left Page Page,
who had been put to work passing coal.
A thorough search was made of the
ship but the man could not be locat-
ed. The search was kept up to the
time of the departure of the vessel
and as the man was not found the hunt
will be continued during the rest Of the
voyage.
Before the vessel left Captain Houd-
lette was empowered by Lieut. Rodman
to arrest the deserter and put him In
double irons. At the same time notif-
cation was sent on to San Francisco 10
the naval authorities there to secure
the deserving fireman and return him
by the next ship TO Page Page, where
he will be court martialed.

CARTER STILL
IN WASHINGTON
Especial to The Advertiser)

WASHINGTON, March l5.-Geo II.
Carter has learned nothing new about
the gubernatorial situation since my
last letter. He stated today that there
had been absolutely nothing new and
he was waiting here now chiefly in
compliance with President Roosevelt =
request. Mr.. Carter has become rather
restless at staying around Washington
So long. He had telegram a day or
two ago from Mrs. Carter announcing
that she had arrived at san Francisco.
MIR. Carter is now staying at the resi-
dence of Judge HartWell, 1909 Sixteenth
street a few blocks away from the res
idence Of his classmate at Yale. Mr..
Clifford Pinchot, where he was "A guest

Carter was before the committee last
Monday, at the same time with Mr..
William Haywood and Land Commits
sioner T.. S. Boyd. Mr.. Carter told the
committee that he preferred Mr.. Hay
wood and Mr.. Boyd should speak then,
as he had not had opportunity to eX-
anime the bills In question.

WEAVER BUYING
COCOA MACHINES

Commodore" y. j. Weaver of Sa-
moa is a passenger in the Sierra for
San Francisco He expects to return in
the same ship, stopping only nine days
in California. The trip is taken, ac-
cording to Mr.. Weaver, for the purpose
of purchasing machinery for the pre-
paration of cocoa from the great plan
tations which he is promoting.
I'VE are producing 100000 pounds Of
cocoa beans this year" said he last
evening. land from this time on We
will have increased crops. We have
now about 5000 acres planted with
cocoa trees, and there are in the plan
tation we control 1900 acres. This
will make the plantation phenomenal
in size. The next largest in the world
is 2S7 acres. our product this year
was the best and sold in the London
market for the highest price in the
world There is little land on the globe
which will raise cocoa, and our tract is
therefore very valuable.
I'VE have the franchise for an cleo
trio lighting plant and the machinery
is now on the way. We have the ice
plant and the cold storage warehouse
already in operation, so that our cocoa
mill will be the third of the enterprises.
We need the mill for the reason that
by it we will reduce the bunk of the
product one half and save that amount
in freights. We hope to have the ma
chinery very soon, as practically all OF
it is made in the United States, only a
small portion coming from England.
Just before ! left Samoa we had a
tremendous flood, the force of the wa
ter being such that great rocks, mea-
surfing more than five feet square, We're
washed down the streams. 1t did some
damage and the work of repairing this
caused me great trouble. My trip has
been of much service to me in the line
of health"

HILO IS COMING
OUT ALL RIGHT

'Hilo has fine commercial future"
said a. b. Loebenstein last evening at
the Hawaiian hotel There Is consid =
cradle business activity and it is grad
ually increasing. The fact that the
principal firms here have established
branch houses in Hilo shows that its
trade Is sought. The railroad has op-
ened up possibilities for trade and has
already proven a factor i'm its develop
ment. The new dock which is about to
be constructed will be a fine thing for
the city, inasmuch as the pioneer
steamer of the new line, the Enter
prise, Will soon be making Hilo its ter
minal port, and this will open the way
for the establishment of a regular line
of steamers between the coast and
Hilo. The good that will come TO the
city through this medium will benefit
Honolulu, for what enhances one local
ity is certainly shared by other local
tiles.
we have had some very heavy
storms on Hawaii recently, and the
recent storms washed away some OF the
culverts. The loss of the culverts has
taught us a lesson. They were we'll
