THE GENERAL PUBLIC
rs AGAIN CARELESS
Owners Of Property in Oceanyiew Gem
etery WIN Not Cali at City Hall
for Deeds OF Property.

Once again the negligence Of the gen.
eral public Is made apparent, For
several days past a notice has appear
ed in all the daily newspapers of the
city regarding owners of property in
Oceanview cemetery to call at the Office
OF the city auditor and secure deeds,
Not a soul has called. despite the inn
pcrtant fact that those appealed TO are
interested financially and sentimentai!y
The don't care" feeling prevails to an
extent that makes property owners in
different to their own interests.
But perhaps the general public does
not quite understand. Yesterday an
Astorian representative called on Audi
tor Anderson and quizzed him about
the matter. The auditor explained
that the muddle-for 1t is another mud
dle--came about through the lax man.
ner in which business has been conduc-
ted OF late years. He said that some
800 or 400 bodies had been buried in
Oceanview. which is the property of
the city, but that few of the persons
purchasing lots had received deeds to
the property. They paid their money,
took a receipt for and were provided
with burial permit. Legal evidence
OF their title to the property does not
exist in the form Of deeds, and TO get
the matter Strengthened out the audi
tor caused the notice to be published.
There has been no response and the
officials are beginning to wonder if
the people who own lots in oceanview
have entirely forgotten about it. The
city records have not been properly
kept, with the result that there Is no.
thing to show the names of the deceas-
ed persons whose bodies repose ON the
west side, or. indeed. the numbers OF
the lots which have been sold to vari-
Gus parties. If the auditor can sue
ceed in arouslng enough interest, he
will try and learn the names Of the
pETS0lS uuTlcu dl ONCoHflCHs tAS
names of the persons who have pur-
chased lots and the exact descriptions
of the property. Developments thus
far would tend to indicate that he will
not be successful in his effort TO awak-
en- property owners to the fact that
their interests are vitality at stake.
II should be recollected by owners OF
lots that the permits held by them are
not sufficient to fully establish their
title to the property should compliea-
tions arise. If the auditor can straigh-
ten out the matter he will issue deeds,
and property owners will not then have
cause for fear that perhaps their lots
may pass into other hands at some fu-
ture date because Of the muddle now
existing. A brief visit to the city hall
win abviate the possibility Of the sale
of an occupied lot to some other per-
son, which, it will doubtless be agreed,
would be a most deplorable state Of
affairs.

Recently a boatload Of sightseers

The reason that they sink to rest
Untroubled by the vicious pest,
Is simply that their rest Is deep,
And not the kind that comes from sleep
And so the way--at least the best
To circumvent the vicious pest
Is death; but 1t will useless be
To try to kill the pesky flea.

Humphreys said he was willing to
have the money withdrawn if Sumner
would furnish bond in the sum of
$4,000, with ]. Alfred Magoon as see
curity
Peters replied briefly to the argument,
stating point which was looked upon
with favor by the court, namely, that
the Ellises did not stand in the same
position as the appellant, defendant or
plaintiff in the cases cited by Hum
phreys, being co-defendants with sum
ner. He contended that in this relation
they could not tie up the judgment by
appeal
Judge De Bolt stated that lie was
much impressed with the argument,
and asked Mr.. Peters for authorities.
he latter replied that he had not had
time to look them up yet, having just
received notice of the appeal at IL
o'clock, and asked that the matter be
postponed.
Here Davis interrupted and said that
he had looked up the matter fully, had
heen so tusy that he was unable 10 get
time for lunch. The court mildly sug-
gested that the preparation had not
been complete; whereat, the attorney
became angrier than ever and threat
ened to drop the matter entirely, saying
he would not waste any more time on
it. Judge De Bolt thereupon denied the
motion, saying that the authorities had
thorize the enforcing of the execution.
He stated that he was anxious to see
Mr.. Sumner get his money, but under
the statute there appeared to be no
help for it,
Davis then suggested that the court
fix a bond of $4,000, but Humphreys
objected and wanted a s4S 900 bond.
Judge De Bolt was about to fix the
bond, when the attorneys became in
volved in another argument, and Hum /
phreys withdrew his offer. The court
then denied the motion, holding that it /
could be granted only by consent of /
both parties.

lay, an interested listener to the argu-
nent. He was accompanied by Wyllie

HAWAIIAN SHARES
SHOW DECLINES

Hawaiian securities on the Coast have
few days and yesterdays reports show
that two points drop were scored by
Hawaiian Commercial and Makaweli;
Onomea had no buyer at any figure, and
Honokaa and Paauhau declined a quar-
ter. 1t was such an experience as to
draw from brokers in San Francisco
the statement that they consider the
worst passed.
When the morning session of the
stock board here was called together it
was yesterday down to $42, so, with small
from San Francisco showed a remark
able softening of rates. Hawaiian Com
mercial, which on Tuesday was 81. So
was yesterday down to $3.50, with small
sales at that figure. Makaweli, before
$27, was down on the list at $25; while
for Onomea, whose price had been s23
before, there was no offer. Honoka .
was $1S.75 and Paauhau $1575, falling
off of a quarter in each stock.
At about the same time brokers re-
ceived messages in relation to the de-
clines. Charles Sutro reported to Harry
Armitage that in his opinion stocks
were at the very lowest ebb, and that
the time had come to buy. POLITE &
Co. wired to the Waterhouse Trust
Company that shares had declined in
sympathy with the general market, and
that the firm thinks the lowest figure
has been reached. There was no local
softening.

Peters Had Almost Convinced
Judge De Bolt When Davis
"Butted in"

George Davis made another unsuc-
cessfuI attempt yesterday to get Johr
| X Summers money out of court. He
| filed a motion to enforce the decree
already signed. and argued for nearly
an hour to have Judge De Bolt order
| the immediate payment of the $4S,025 in
spite of the appeal. Mr.. Peters present
ed the final argument, and in his plea
the court stated that there was some
merit, and offered to grant further time
for presentation of authorities. with the
remark that the case should have been
better prepared. This angered Davis.
and he refused to go on with the case
and Judge De Bolt denied the motion.
There was also an offer from Hum
phreys to allow withdrawal of the
money upon giving a bond in the sum
of $4,000, with Magoon as surety, but
the offer was withdrawn when it APP
peared that there would be an accept
ance.
In his motion Davis says:
"And now comes the defendant, John
K. Sumner and moves the first Judge
of the circuit court of the First judicial
circuit of the Territory of Hawaii, sit
the decree entered up in this suit, not!
withstanding the appeal filed by the
defendants, Victoria Ellis Buffandeau,
William s. Ellis. and John S. Ellis, by
directing the clerk of this court to i'm
mediately pay over to the defendant,
John K. Sumner, the sum of $4S,025 so
ordered and decreed to be paid to him
in and by said decree. forthwith, and
said defendant, John K. Sumner, moves
for such other and further order as I'M
equity and justice he may be entitled
to under and by virtue of the findings
made and decree so entered up in this
suit
An objection to hearing because
"a hours notice had not been given
was overruled by the court, .
as was also a similar objection to the
interlineations and erasures in the mo-
ton.
Davis contended in his argument that
the order should be carried out unless
there was a stay of execution for good
and sufficient cause, and no stay had
been asked. He contended further that
he appeal did not stay execution, and
10 reason was shown why Mr.. Sumner
should not be paid his money.
Judge Humphreys replied, quotingj
me Of Davis's cases as having a nota-
ion on the margin showing it to have
'een reversed. He said that if the Ell
ises had had possession of the money
he court would have made an order,
ither to have it paid into the court or
o give a supersedeas bond on appeal f
IS the money was in the hands of the
curt no loss could result to Sumner. i

THE CARNEGIE LIBRARY
Will Be Located on Monument Park,
by Vote of the People.

The mass meeting of the voters of the
city to see what instruction they would
give the city government regarding the
placing the Carnegie library on MOnu-
mcnt park or other land belonging to
the city was held in the City hall,
Thursday evening and it was voted to
instruct them to locate the building on
the park.
Mayor Davis presided and City Clerk
Clair acted as clerk. In order to bring
the matter to a focus T.. T. Wyman
made the motion that the building be
placed on the park. III. r. Mitchell,
who was the only one to vote in favor
of the park as a location for the build
ing at previous mass meeting and the
only one to speak in favor of it, was
the first to speak at this one. He still
held the same views and believed that
the park was the most central and ac-
ccssable place for the building. He did
not think that the park would be desc
Grated or any of its utility injured by
50 doing.
Edward Foster followed and spoke in
favor of the park. He did not think
