TO SAVE THE SOUL OF THE
SOULLESS CORPORATION.

Any regular or called meeting of the
stockholders or members may adjourn
from day to day, or from time to time,
if, for any reason, there is not present
or represented a majority of the sub
scribed stock or members, or no cleo
ton had, such adjournment and the
reasons therefor being recorded in the
journal of the proceedings of the board
of directors.
Section g. All elections shall be by
ballot and every stDckholder shall be
entitled to vote in person or by proxy
the number of shares standing in his
name, as provided 'by Section of this
Act, for as many persons as there are
directors to be elected, or to cumulate
such shares and give one candidate as
many votes as the number of directors
multiplied by the number of his shares
of stock shall equal, or to distribute
them on the same principle among as
many candidates as he shall see tit.
In corporations having no capital
stock, each member of the corporation
may cast as many votes for one dl-
rector as there are directors to be
elected, or may distribute the same
among any or all of the candidates. In
either case the directors receiving the
highest number of votes shall be de-
clared elected.
Senator Isenberg moved that the bill
be tabled Senator McCandless moved
that the bill be passed to its first read
ing. 1t was just measure declared
Senator McCandiess, for it protected
the interests of the minority members
Of a corporation. 1T enabled them Dy
means of q cumulative vote to elect a
representative on board of directors.
The tendency of the corporations de-
clared the speaker, was to ignore the
minority. Such a law should be on the
Hawaiian statutes. 1t existed on the
Mainland. Senator Achi heartily en-
dorsed the views of his colleague and
the motion prevailed, Senator IsenberG
voting for it.

UNCERTAINTY OVER SIERRA.

Owing to a confusion of cable dis
patches there is some question as to
the time when the S. $. Sierra left san
Francisco for Honolulu and the South.
The vessel was reported in a press dis
patch to have sailed from San Fran
cisco the afternoon of February 2l. w.
G.. Irwin q Company received a cable
gram announcing that the Sierra had
left San Francisco February 20. In all
probability the news to the agents is
correct. In such an event the steam
ship will reach Honolulu 5he morning
of THU sday, February &C. and not Fri
day as was reported yesterday.

HAD ENOUGH
OF JAMES LOVE
GEORGE A. DAVIS WAS MADE
TRUSTEE OF FORMER SPEND
THRIFT-WANTS TO GET OUT.

George a. Davis has filed-a petition
to be allowed to resign as trustee for
James Ii. Love, the former spendthrift,
alleging that he has not lime to attend
10 the business and that Love is en-
tirely under the influence Of Annie l..
Rowe, with whom it is impossible to
do business.
Davis was appointed trustee for
Love, as 1t appears by the petition,
just after the proceedings to terminate
his spendthrift trust came to an end,
the new trust being created by the
agreement Of all parties interested.
For a time Davis was absent from me
Territory, and col. Fitch acted. Then
Davis came back and he has been act
ing since February, 1902.
Davis says in his petition to resign
that Love is an old man, absolutely
under the control of Mrs, Rowe, ana
that he has found ii impossible to DO
any business with her. The trustee
says that he believes that both Love
and Mrs. Rowe want him 10 give up
the trust and that his other business
does not allow him time to attend to
it, The accounts are filed and Davis
asks the court to approve them and
discharge him.

Senator McCandless got after the
"soulless" corporation this morning. He
introduced a measure in the Senate to
regulate the election of directors and
protect the interests of the minority

suit dismissed was presented in Judge

and secured a temporary injunction to
restrain Bolte from interfering with
the water of a stream in KoOlauloa.
and this morning his attorney, w. \.
Kinney, filed a withdrawal Of the suit.
r. ID. Silliman, who appeared for the
other side, said he had never heard Of
a withdrawal of such an action. Rob-
ertsOn, who is also on the defendant
side, said he didn't see how the court
could compel the plaintiff to continue
to press his case, but he wanted to
have the court sign a decree dismiss
ing the cause without prejudice. The
matter finally went over to tomorrow
morning, when Gear will hear argu-
ments about it.

THE LEGAL STORY
OF A CATTLE DRIVE
DECISION BY SUPREME COURT
Oh A LONG CONTESTED SUIT
ABOUT CATTLE.

The Supreme Court this morning
handed down a decision in the case of
John . Paris VS.. j. A. Magoon, ad-
ministra!Cr of the ,s52te of A. Fer
randez deceased, suit that has been
in the courts i'm one shape or another
for several years. The following is
the syllabus of the decision:
A decree dismissing tha bill for the
specific performance of a contract is
not bar to subsequent Gct!on for
damages for a breach Of tie contract,
hen it appears that the Ques tion OF
damages was not raised i'm the former
suit ana that the decree was not based
on any ground that showed there was
no right OF action under the contract.
An administrator may be liable in
damages for a breach of contract oc-
curing before the death OF his decen-
dent even though the contract is of a
nature personal to such decedent.
The text fthe opinion which is by
Chief Justice Frear is as follows:
OF the many exceptions taken only
those that have been argued VIII be
considered.
The first exception is to the over
ruling of the defendants plea of res
adjudicata. This is an action for dam
ages against an administrator for a
breach by his decedent of contract
/ for the sale of cattle and leases Consti-
tuting a ranch. 1t Is contended that
there can be no recovery in this action

There is a-disposition to get from un-
der.
Some Of the Republican members Of
the House of Representatives have
been hearing from their constituents,
it is said, and their constituents want
to know who elected Beckley speaker.
Contrary to the custom in all other
American legislatures. the election of
speaker in the Hawaiian House was
by secret ballot, so that there was no
chance as the vote was being cast to
know who was voting for Beckley or
who was for Kumalae. Now the voters
are making it uncomfortable for somt
of the members, it is said. At any rate
there has been a good deal of inquiry
as to what Republicans voted for Beck
ley. The solid Kumalae thirteen have
answered the question in a negative
way at least, by announcing that
they did not vote for Beckley.
This morning the following state
ment was prepared, signed and ac-
knowledged before a notary public and
issued to the public:
Honolulu, February 49, 1903
ITO the Voters of the Republican Par
ty:
The undersigned Republican mem
bers of the House of Representatives

The report of the board called to

will be handed to British Consul Hoare
tomorrow morning. 1t is very probable
that the vessel will be condemned. She
was leaking badly when she came into
this port, and is declared to be unsafe.
The British consul will look after the
members of her crew who did not de-
sert. Six deserters are now in Jail and
viii probably be given an opportunity
of shipping away on some other ves-
sci, a seventh deserter is still at large.

This leaves Andrade, Chillingworth,

the Republican side of the House who
must have voted for Beckley, and who
so far have not denied it, but rather
have admitted, defended and justified
it.
The plan to vote for Beckley for the
purpose of defeating the solid thirteen
is said to have been engineered by the
party executive committee, when it
appeared that the thirteen were run
ming the Republican party caucus. The
design is said to have been to give the
thirteen a lesson, which it was hoped
would bring them to time, and then
get rid of Beckley and put in a Re-
publican. The plan worked as far as
the caucus was concerned. for the sew
en- and the thirteen came to terms.
But they had reckoned without Speak

the fort.

An AWkand Position.

Mr.. Folk, of St. Louis, is in
dustriously seeking to secure
the Democratic nomination for
Governor. If he succeeds, this
paper will support him. If he
succeeds he will need our sup
port because the minute he is
no minated on the Democratic
ticket he will lose the tender,
fond and loving caresses of
every Republican paper in this
State, as the Democratic nom
inee, the Globe Democrat will
viciously oppose him, the st.
Louis Star will coldly criticise
him, the Kansas City Star will
stab him, the Journal will de-
nounce him, and even the Re
publican Record down at Car
rollton, will cruelty pound
him. "
Worse than all Mr.. Folk, is
now at work giving these Re
p ublican organs ammunition to
fire at him when he becomes the
nominee, if he should ever be
so honored. His every public
utterance abounds with slurs
and insinuations against the or
ganized Democracy and it's con-
duct on State affairs. Not one
word does he say against Re
publicans. No wonder the Re
publican papers laud him to
the kles.-NOrborue Democrat,
