WILL REVIEW
KONA CASE
Hearing Set for a
Week From
Monday.

The Supreme Court yesterday granted
writ OF certiorari In the Kona Sugar
Company's case, and 1t was made re-
turnable before Justice Perry on Mon
day morning, January 26. The writ was
made returnable before the Associate
Justice because there was some doubt
In the minds of the three justices as
to whether such writ could be brought
before the Supreme Court.
An order restraining any further pro-
ceedings in the Kona sugar matter went
forward by the Kinau yesterday, and
the entire case will be reviewed on the
26th.
In the petition filed by Judge Highton
for Jacob l.. Coerper there Is a review
OF the whole proceedings by which
Judge Edings appointed M. F. Scott re-
ceiver. and afterwards removed him
and appointed F. L. Dortch, then order
Ing the sale Of the property, and after
wards approving a contract for the cut
ting Of the cane for half Of the proceeds.
Coerper charges In his petition that the
various acts above alleged were done
without notice to the stockholders, and
that they were not given a chance to
contest either the appointment OF q re-
ceiver. order Of sale. or any other order.
In the application for a writ OF certi-
orari It is charged that these various
orders are null and void because Judge
Edings exceeded his authority. It Is
further charged that the court had no
power to suspend the business OF the
corporation nor disintegrate or dissolve
Its property. or to place its business in
the hands of a receiver upon the appli-
cation Of one creditor. 1t Is further
claimed that M. w. McChesney & Sons
had no lien upon the property. and gave
no bond in filing the suit. that there
was no cause for the appointment Of M.
F. Scott or F. L. Dortch as receivers,
nor for the order Of sale Of the plan
tation. 1t is also set out that there was
collision between McChesney and the
Kona Sugar Company. and that the
rights Of the stockholders were wholly
disregarded. It IL also claimed that
there was no authority for the order to
dispose Of the cane crop to pay debts
Illegally contracted by the receiver. The
directors Of the company are alleged to
"have combined and confederated" with
the plaintiffs and the receiver In the
acts mentioned. and consequently will
not protect the stockholders.
The writ Of certiorari Is granted for a
review Of all the proceedings, orders.
ETC., and to inquire into the legality NJ
the various acts OF Judge Edings and
the receivers appointed by him.

s,oner to investigate conditions IN the
Hawaiian and the Philippine isiands "s
thew may be promising for the intro
auction of colored labor from this couh-
trv. From Honolulu comes TINS priei
interview with Mr.. Fortune:
az believe the importation OF negroes
hare forms a natural solution OF the
d,fficulty which unavoidably follows the

the Southern States and In the caro-
,,nas the negro made the industries

might be difficulty In OBTAINING the
negro, but he thought that the planters
could get all they wanted II they sent
the right sort of agents after them.
"'You could get 10000 here In six
months he said"
1t may be very we'll to inform the IN
telligent colored people who are anxious
to improve their condition just "ha'

But it is much to be doubted II they
would benefit by any plan for colonizlne
them in any quarter Of the world. Inc
idea is fantastic. In some quarters II

try would be better off without them
In other quarters 1t is based upon q

feeling Is that the south would go &c

CHAMBER Of COMMERCE
WILL TALK OF TOURISTS
After Receiving Report Decides to Hold
Special Meeting to Be Devoted
to the Subject.

After short consideration the report
OF Chairman Wight OF the Joint COM
mittee of the Chamber OF Commerce
and the Merchants Association, which
has carefully considered tourist travel.
for Hawaii, was put over for two weeks
by the Chamber of Commerce at its
meeting of yesterday. There was no
general discussion over the recommen-
dations Of the committee. the only
phase of the case which was considered
being that brought up by F. NJ. Swanzy.
who took issue in general with the fea-
ture of providing funds by the appli-
cation Of the extra wharfage tax. to
this end
The meeting was q large one and the
interest in 1t conferred principally about
the matter of tourist encouragement.
The report Of Chairman Wight was
withheld owing to the fact that its de-
tails are to form the basis OF argu-
ments which are to be submitted and
action to be had at a special meeting
called for the purpose alone on Wednes-
day, January 2S. 1t was a short one,
but has in it's few words the gist Of
the workings of the committee, COW
ering the various recommendations as
to form Of advertising folders, the es-
Establishment of local offices and bureaus
and the extension of the system to the
Coast, with names of men and locations.
The revenue. it is said. may be had
by the application of the wharfage.
which is now devoted to quarantine SER
now drawn the amounts advanced to
the Board Of Health for the purpose
of making possible a more complete in
spection Of the city than is possible
with the funds provided by the last
legislature.
When the report was read Mr..
Schaefer moved that action on 1t be
postponed for two weeks, and that 1t
be printed for submission to the mem
bers Of the Chamber OF Commerce. He
said that the action proposed was most
important, and that 1t should have the
careful and thoughtful attention of the
business men before there could be any
decision as to the proper course Of ac-
ton.
F. NJ. Swanzy said that there should
be great care taken before the fund
raised by the special tax was diverted
to any purpose other than that for
which it is levied. He said that the
business men Of the city should be GER
tain that the government would make
the needed inspections, saying that the
population was one that was not at all
likely to take care Of the sanitary fea-
lures, and for many years there might
be necessity for careful inspections. He
said that the epidemic had been passed
and that the activity of the business
men was such as to guarantee the very

best results OF the city. He said II the
city could be guaranteed against future
epidemics or careful government con-
troll then the tax should be taken of
and II the business men thought wise
another could be levied and devoted to
the new purpose. The present one, he
said, could not be changed in its direc-
ton. While tourist trade was impor-
tant, freedom from disease was even
greater.
A motion to lay on the table the reso-
luton Of Mr. Schaefer was lost and then
his motion prevailed.
Secretary Spencer laid before the
Chamber the letters Of Lecturer Weed
on, whose contract with the commercial
bodies closes next week. There was
nothing done in regard to the matter.
II having been said that the tourist
committee had taken the matter I'M
der consideration and would report up
on 1t. 1t Is understood that the con-
tract will not be renewed.
Cablegrams sent and received were
read and filed, and 1t was ordered that
the commission Of William Haywood.
as agent OF the Chamber at Washing
ton, for 1908, be engrossed and forward
ed to him.
The report upon the payment for the
Quarantine Wharf out Of the special
tax fund was then read as follows:
