ACCUSES DAVIS
Sumner Gave $1,000 Ito R. W.
Cathcart--Relatives and Law
yers Got the Coin.

The three Ellis children Maria Davis
and Wally Davis all agreed to let John
K. Sumner enjoy his fortune in peace
upon the payment of 10000 all around,
according to the statement made by
Sumner on the stand yesterday. The
old man threw some interesting light
on the details of the transactions fol-
lowing the sale of the harbor lands
owned by him to the OAHU Railway &
Land Co.
Summer testified that he sold the land
for s1O0, 900, received s1O5, 900 for 1t and
it cost Dillingham; $4,000 and he was
altogether unable to explain the dis
crepancies in his figures. There is a
matter of at least $4,000 in addition to
the thousands of dollars distributed to
lawyers and relatives, which has as yet
been unacccunted for, and seems to
have disappeared in some mysterious
manner. Sumner managed to get in
a few ticks on his own account at the
attorneys on the other side, and seemed
to be making better defense than was
his own lawyers.
There cropped up during the exam
ination yesterday another payment of
81, 600 to r. w Cathcart, friend of
Summers, who read the Oahu Railway
deed over to him. Mr. Cathcart is en-
ployed at the Wilder Offices according
to a statement made later. The cross
examination of Sumner by Thompson
is nearly finished and then Magoon and
Davis will take him in hand again.
Sumner enjoyed himself on the stand
yesterday He not only answered
the questions put to him on cross ex-
animation, but he managed also to get
in a few "roasts' on the side, for the !
Enises and their attorneys. Sumner
said he had got but 100000 from the
sale of the harbor lands and asked |
Judge De Bolt whether he was entitled |
to do what he wanted with his own
Upon taking the stand Sumner said |
he wanted to correct a statement he |
had made the day previous in regard |
to going to the First National Bank |
He said he had not done So but Ma
COON had gone there, and he with Wally |
and John Keller had gone only to Bish-
OPP & Co..
The check given by the Bishop was
then introduced in evidence and Sum- |
ner identified it, after being shown his |
signature on the back. Then Sumner |
tried to explain about the sale of the |
harbor lands. What 1 myself receiv
ed" said he. was $1O5.ooO, the other
IS, OO0 was through the efforts of George
A. Davis, who succeeded in getting
it. The property sold for 100000"

was finally allowed TO remain upon the
withdrawal of the objection Sumner
illustrated his meaning by saying that
if he had 500 and gave $40 away. the
remainder would belong to him. Then
in response to questions he went on
10 tell what became of the sos, 900.

Sumner said somewhat tartly.
Then he stated that Henry Highton
received $4,000. $500 having been pre-
viously paid before he got the sos, COO

Il went around and got it,

attorney.

why should I answer that ques-
tion?" asked the old man turning to
Judge De Bolt.
The objection of the witness is sus-
tanned, ruled the court.
Il paid $4,000 to Humphreys" contin-
ued Sumner, with a benevolent smile
in that direction, 1.-THE three Ellis chill
dren $50. 900, the church $4,000, Maria,
my sister $4,000, and Lawyer Davis,
if I am not mistaken, got $2,5OO."
Did Magoon get anything"
mo, I don't think he did," with a
sidelong glance at that attorney.
Magoon, however, stated to George
Davis that he wasn't left entirely out
in the cold. and he is reported to have
received $500.
Sumner said he couldn't explain
where the $5,475 more than the $4s.O OPS
in the bank went to. Sumner, had been
figuring on the basis of receiving $685.

based their deductions on the sum of
$4,000
DO you know r. w Cathcart?''
Thompson asked.
Yes"
Was he given anything"
Il gave him $1,000 personally. 1t was
paid by check"
Davis dared up again at this point
and said that there had been enough
of these charges of blackmall made by
and that he hadn't started
yet to tell what he knew.
why did you give $4,000 to Maria?'
the witness was next asked.
In order that she might have no
more claims upon me-"
did she agree to dismiss the guar
dianship suit for 100000"
"She agreed that she and wally would
have no more claims upon me, and they

Judge De Bolt finally quoted Davis
and the examination was continued
with an admonition to the attorneys to
behave themselves.
Were your relations with Maria un-
friendly before this?''
''Oh, yes, just like lawyers, squabbling
al the time, but it was soon all right
again." replied Sumner maliciously.
Then Sumner told about the meeting
n Highton's office where he said the
Ellises had agreed to leave him alone
IN ps .-ment of $4,000 apiece. II told
he three children that they could have
10000 each, and then they would have

got 100000 s1o5,ooo or $4,000? asked
the court.
Il don't know about the $4,000, I
got sos. COO"
Sumner tried to explain something
about the lease for ninety-nine years,
but his explanation was not very in
telligible.
Humphreys interrupted at this point
to say that $1,000 appeared to be miss
ing There is no doubt but what the
$4,000 Davis got, belonged to Sumner"
said Humphreys. You can beat the
devil about the bush as much as you
will, but that's the fact. If I am given
a piece of land to sell for 800 and sell
il fer $40 the whole of it belongs to my
client Davis was not III the room

sion was averted.
Did you sign the deed for $1O5. O00?"
the old man was next asked.

Thompson.

Reforming the Dyspeptics.
From the Medical Record.

From the Medical Record.
The dyspeptic club recently formed in
Jersey City aims evidently to create new
department of the INTERIOR and to manage
it on advanced and economic theories. So
far there are only fifty-seven members In
the organization, although a very much
greater number, most Americans, are plain
ly eligible.
Each member must make quarterly writ
ten reports of experiences. The diversity of
these should certainly give due variety to
the sessions But this is the only way to
get at facts. The actions of different foods
must be duly estimated. Pie and pain.
buckwheat and bloat, sausage and suffer-
ing. pickle and pang, cabbage and collie.
ham and heartburn must show their proper
relations. The humiiating part of the bust
ness is that each culprit must confess to his
weak will and his misplaced condolences
while pork pie and pudding will still hold
their own against odds Thus no member
should be trusted to give absolutely impar
tiai testimony unless he can prove that he
was free from cramp, hyperacidity, head
ache or borborygmus when his report was
written. Gastralgia is as apt, In a refiex
way, to affect the higher moral sense Of
truth as is a collie to warp sound judgment

ARTIFICIAL CAMPHOR.
The Aromatic Gum Produced by Syn
thesis in This Country.

From the New York Tribune.
A new industry has recently been started
in this country. According to the Scientific
American, the secret of producing genuine
camphor alphabetically has been discovered,
and is now being utilized within few miles
of the metropolis. Hitherto the chief
sources of supply have been China, Japan
and Formosa, and the gum has been OBJ
tainable only by destroying the tree in
which it is distributed. Partly on this ac-
count, and partly because the business is
now confined almost exclusively to For
mosa, where a government MONOPOLY ex
lists prices have steadily risen for several
years. Competition is now possible which
should check any further advance and
which may perhaps lead to a lowering of
quotations. The principal ingredient of the
new product turpentine is found in album
dance in the United States so that the
chemical manufacture of camphor NAV be
said to stand on more stable foundation
than that of extracting it, ready made.
from the wood of the camphor laurel The
commodity has so many uses-in medicine,
the making of celluloid and other materials
and in fighting moths-that the prospect
now opened is highly gratifying.
One aspect of this achievement will pos
sess special charm for chemists. They
realize as no one else can the difficulties of
synthesis. Hundreds of the most useful
drugs, dyes, foodstuffs and perfumes are
compounds whose production nature COM
pletes before she turns them over to man.
Her laboratory is the living plant or ami
NAL, but her processes are usually inscru-
table. The ingredients which she EMPLOYS
and the formulate she adopts can be ascer-
tanned easily enough. 1t is known just how
many atoms of carbon, hydrogen and oxy-
gen are contained in a molecule of sugar
but human skill has not mastered the trick
Of combining them For half a.. century
chemists have been trying to make albu-
men, alcohol and a host of other such COM
pounds. but their experiments have almost
invariably ended in failure Only with in
digo, a few drugs and perfumes-in scarcely
q dozen instances altogether-have they,
succeeded. Analysis shows that the only
discernible difference between turpentine
and camphor gum is that the latter includes
one more atom of oxygen than the former,
and yet 1t has taken years to find out how
