RAPID TRANSIT
COMPANY SUED
MRS. CHARLES L. RHODES BRINGS
AN ACTION FOR BEING WRONG
FULLY ELECTED FROM A CAR.

Suit was begun in the circuit court
this morning by Mrs. Charles L.
Rhodes against the Honolulu Rapid
Transit and Land Company. on Sun
day, May 81, Mr.. and Mrs. Rhodes
boarded a Rapid Transit car at st.
Clements church, coming down town.
At Fort street Mr.. Rhodes left the car
to go to the post office. AS it was rain
ing at the time, Mrs. Rhodes remained
on the car intending to change at LII
liha street to a King street car, her
husband to rejoin her at Fort and King
street.
At Liliha street the conductor re-
fused to give her a transfer, though
the company's rules required that such
transfer be given. She boarded the
King street car when it came, explain
ing to the conductor that the conduc-
tor of the Hotel street car had refused
to give her a transfer, and that having
just come from church with her. hus-
band she was without her purse, but
that her husband would join her at
Fort and King street when the fare
would be paid. The conductor rudely
and insolently stopped his car and put
her off the car, Notwithstanding it was
raining hard at the time, and she was
compelled to walk in the rain to Fort
and King street where she was to meet
her husband.
Manager Ballentyne offered no repa
ration or apology for the humiliation
suffered, although he said the action
of the conductor in putting Mrs.
Rhodes off the car was "reprehensible,"
and lacking in common sense"
The damages asked in the suit are
81 900. Henry E .Highton is the attor-
ney for Mrs. Rhodes.

MULCTED TO THE
TUNE Of $2,25O
JUDGE ROBINSON HOLDS THE
ELECTRIC CAR LINE LIABLE
FOR r. NJ. FULLER's INJURIES.

Judge Robinson this morning render
ed a decision in the case of r. NJ. Full
Ter against the Rapid Transit Company
awarding the plaintiff $2,250 damages
for injuries received by him in col
lision between a Rapid Transit ear and
one Of Pains Nuuanu avenue trans.
This is the largest damage award the
Rapid Transit company has had
against it since its system was started,
and is a result of a collision that oc-
cured IN September, 1901 at Hotel anr
Nuuanu streets. Fuller was on the
Rapid Transit car and was quite Sc
riously injured. He charged that the
motorman had been negligent and was
responsible for the accident. The case
was tried before Robinson, with a jury
waived, and the court holds that the
accident was due to negligence of m
ployes of the electric car line and that
Fullers injuries were serious and per-
manent and entitled him to $2,250 dam
ages.

"KEY MANS" ADMISSIONS.
Pleads Guilty to All the Charges Pre-
ferred Against Him.

Coleman Lee. alias John Cole. who was
apprehended by Detectives Flather and
Parham Monday. was given a preliminary
hearing before Judge Scott of the Police
Court this morning on two charges of
HOUSEKEEPING. He pleaded guilty to each
charge, and the court fixed the bond at
81 900 in each of the two cases until the
matter is disposed Of in the upper court.
Cole, as he sometimes calls himself, is what
is known in police parlance as a key
man" He was not represented by counsel.
and did not avail himself of the privilege
Of making a statement.
He was also arraigned on four separate
charges Of theft. and entered plea of
guilty to each. receiving an aggregate sem
tence of eleven months and twenty-nlne
days in the District jail. which he will have
to serve before going to the penitentiary,
in case of conviction, to serve sentences in
the two housebreaking cases. Fines
amounting to $40 were imposed as the al
tentative in the four larceny cases, but
even If the fines were paid he would not be
released from custody as long as the other
charges are pending against him.
1t is probable that by the time the cases
reach the upper court several additional
charges will be filed. and the grand jury
will be asked to return other indictments
against him. From present Indications it
looks as though the Baltimore authorities.
who also want the man, will not get him
for a number of years. or at least until he
has finished serving the sentences from the
District courts.
