The case is of great importance to the
Territory, upon it Ringing the ques-
ton of whether or not. under existing
or future legislation, large commercial
concerns on the mainland may estab-
lish agencies in this Territory, immune
from taxation and municipal control
while competing with local houses that
pay all sorts of taxes and employ large
numbers of taxpayers.
The Hawaiian Act of 1903, under
which this case is brought, was copied
word for word from the Pennsylvania
law, which has been found constitu-
tional by the Supreme Court of the
United States.
LOWS AMENDED PETITION.
AS directed by Judge Gear, for con-
So ~ Il
merits, ]. s. Low yesterday filed an
amended petition for the removal of A.
w. Carter as guardian of Annie T. K.
Parker, minor, and as manager of the
Parker Ranch. The first amendment
consists in having the complaint drawn
in the name of the minor, suing by Mr..
Low as her next friend. Only the
skeleton of the original petition re-
mains, it being built upon by specifica-
tons of the alleged acknowledgement"
of Mr.. Carter and of ''irreparable in
jury to the minors estate if he is con-
tinued as manager. There is lugu
brious category of waste of animal life
on the Parker Ranch, through alleged
bad management, careless practices,
etc. Neglect of buildings, fences, inn
pIements, etc, causing all manner of
waste, is also asserted. Personal
charges are laid against F. w. Carter
in whose hands the manager reposes
the practical charge of the ranch. Quite
a new ground is stated when it is rep
resented that A. w. Carriers large in
terest in the ranch of the American
Sugar Co. on Molokai clashes with the
interests of the Parker Ranch. One of
the charges against the practical man
agement is that rounding up days on
IA eli
when cruel modes of lassoing are alleg-
ed to be practiced as if rare sport.
PETTY ATTORNEY DISCARDED.
Judge Robinson, in the matter of
David Watson, a practitioner in the dis
trict courts and before the circuit
judges at chambers, after hearing yes
terday ordered:
LET the prayer of the petition be
granted, and let the license heretofore
issued to the respondent be and the
same is hereby revoked and Cancelled. F."
w. C. Achi, for the respondent. noted
an exception to the ruling of the court.
Lorrin Andrews, Attorney General, APP
peared for the Territory.
The ground of disbarment was that
the respondent on March s, 1908, COM
mitted the offense of assault and bat
terry upon his wife, Louisa Watson, for
which he was indicted September 80,
1903, and before Judge Robinson and a
jury on February 9, 1904, was convicted
of the offense and thereafter sentenced
to pay fine of $100. He took excep-
tions but failed to perfect his appeal
and on July 81 paid his fine.
His defense to the disbarment pro-
ceedings was that he paid the costs and |
did all in his power to perfect the APP
peal, and if the exceptions We're not |
properly perfected it would be the fault |
of his attorney; that the case of assault |
and battery was not an offense, and |
that said offense was committed be-
fore the license was issued to the re- |
spondent,' and that assault and oat-
terry is not a gross misconduct on the |
part of respondent by law
