Dr. James Hume took the strenuous

who pulled on a pair of lace or open
work stockings was enroute to the

NOAR AND HIS
POLITICAL PLANS
A RECEIVER FOR THE STAR
BLOCK Is DENIED BY JUDGE
ROBINSON THIS MORNING.

Isaac Noar was recently considering
running for Supervisor of oahu Coun-
ty, according to afTidavits presented to
Judge Robinson this morning in the
matters of the motions of Lee Chu and
c. *. Al for the appointment of a re-
ceiver for the Star block. The affida-
Wits also said that Noar is such a hard
man to do business with that the plain
tiffs were unable to negotiate with
him. Judge Robinson, however, de-
MED the motion for a receiver. The
affidavit of c. X. All contained the fol-
lowing:
THAT on one occasion said Isaac
Noar gave as a reason for not accept
ing the said bid that he was thinking
of running for the office of Supervisor
in the county of Oahu and therefor
could not employ Chinese labor and
would not, therefore, consider said bids
THAT said Noar is very hard man
to do business with, that on being con-
suited on a business proposition he will
fly into a rage and instead of calmly
considering plans for the betterment
of said premises, confines himself to
abuse of deponent and his associates
Lee Chu and their attorneys; that un
der the circumstances the said Lee Chu
finds it impossible to do business with
the said Noar."
f. A. Ward and S. Mathews, tenants
of the block, also gave affidavits MAX,
ing complaints and the latter said he
had been fined for common nuisance on
account of the blocks condition, also
that when asked about it. NOar all
ways became very angry"
Isaac Noars affidavit stated that re-
lations between him and the plaintiff
were naturally strained, as a result
of litigation, but not to such an extent
that it prevented business. Noar de-
clares that the tenants of, the build
ing, who threaten to move out ac-
cording to the plaintiffs affidavits, are
not desirable tenants anyhow. He says
that Mathews tries to run his store
and al the same time be chambermaid
for a lodging house of rs rooms, also
| that he let's most of them to drunken
men and women. Noar says that he
! is not hard man to do business with
and does not fly into a rage when con-
suited about business, but is always
gentlemanly and reasona BILE.
Judge Robinson held after arguments
by Cathcart and Lightfoot that there
had not been sufficient showing to war
rant a receivership. If the plaintiffs
wanted to make necessary repairs and
| Improvements they could go ahead
without Noar's consent and charge
him with his share of the cost.

THIS IS NO FAKE
WITHDRAWAL
KEKAULA MAKES AFFIDAVIT
THAT HE DID WITHDRAW FROM
WEST HAWAII TICKET.

]. *. Kekaula has sent another with
drawal from the West Hawaii ticket
as Home Rule candidate for supervisor
This time it is under oath and is ac-
companied by an affidavit verifying
the former letter of withdrawal but it
is too late, for his name has already
been put on the ticket and it will have
to stay there even though he does not
want to run.
Kekaula sent his withdrawal last
week, after his nomination papers had
been filed. friend who was in Ho-
nolulu called on registrar auckland and
said that he didn't believe the with
draWal was genuine, but thought the
letter a forgery. auckland and Gov
ernor Dole compared the, signature
with a known signature Of Kekaula,
and it appeared that there were mark
ed differences. 1t was therefore de-
cided, by way of being on the safe SIZE
to leave the name on the ticket.
| The Mauna Loa mail this morning
brought to auckland the following,
both sworn to before Notary G.. c..
Kinney:

HORSE SENSE AT FAULT.

One of the reasons for a suit for
divorce brought against an Indiana
man is that he let his horse select his
wife. Mr.. Brown was paying atten-
ton to a woman in Indianapolis and
to another in Clayton. On the day
fixed for the wedding Brown got into
his buggy, undecided whether to marry
the Clayton or the Indianapolis girl.
He dropped the reins over the dash
board and left the decision to the
horse, which turned off at the Clayton
road, thus deciding him in his choice
of wife. The resultant divorce pro-
ceedings show that horse sense is not
of much value in business of this sort.

BRITISH RECRUITS.
The British army, under the new
scheme, requires $4,000 recruits an
nually, According to the director
generals report only $4,000 are examin-
ed annually, and of these about 49,
$50 are rejected, giving deficiency of
$500 year, which England hopes to
make up by colonial assistance.
