TWO KICKS ABOUT RECENT
NEWS FROM THE SUBURBS
Waikiki, Maui, T. H,
Nov 10 ION


Editor Advertiser: In the Advertiser
of May 18th, 1904, appears an article
headed as follows: Government may
| take over Lahaina1una Water Rights
! Attorney General Andrews and Deputy
| Sheriff Chillingworth go to Maui for
! purpose of asserting Territory s
| rights"
| am not given to answering sensa-
! tionaI articles of this nature, but, in
| this particular instance, in justice to
myself, brother attorneys, and clients,
/ L ask for sufficient space, in as promi-
/ nent a place as the original article,
/ for the following remarks:
Among other things the article says:
! 1st. 1.-The Pioneer Mill Company has
| enjoyed the water rights claimed by
the Territory, or Department of Edu-
cation, for twelve years"
This is false.
End. THAT it was at the instance
of the Plantation that the Government
brought suit to determine the owner
ship"
This is false.
3rd That the Pioneer Mill Compa-
ny was taking advantage of every
technicality in the present hearing be-
fore the Water Commissioner, and
using every means to delay the trial"
This is false.
4th. That the Plantation, without
authority or justification of any kind
began the use of the water twelve
years ago. and when the Department
of Education attempted to assert its
rights, the Plantation claimed to con-
troll all of the water"
This is false.
5th THAT no lease of the water
rights has ever been given
This is false.
9Th The balance of the article is
a mixture of falsehood, with a dash of
truth here and there; and nearly all
of which the Attorney General has re-
pudiated.
Three articles of a like nature have
now appeared in the Honolulu press.
The first two We're allowed to pass un-
noticed. I felt it about time TO have
a word.
One cannot censure reporters for
gathering news; but there are many
who do have contempt for a person
too cowardly to permit his name to
appear within or at the foot of such
an article.

MAY RESTORE
GRETNA GREEN

| Should a motion made by Attorney
ment against Robert Salmon, of New
| Albany, for perjury, be sustained, JEFF
fersonvilIe stands a chance of becoming
! a more noted Gretna Green than it was
| before the matrimonial traffic was abol-
J ished, three years ago. Salmon was in
| dfcted by the grand jury of the Clark
circuit court few days ago for perjury,
on the ground that he swore falsely to
the ages of David H. Fogle and Anna
Belle Wattam to secure a license for
them to marry, and that he perjured
himself in making an affidavit that the
girl had been a resident of Clark coun-
ty for thirty days previous to April 8.
One section of the revised statutes of
Indiana regarding the issuing of mar
riage licenses says: such licenses shall
not be issued by the clerk without con-
sent of the parents or guardian, if there
be any, if the female be within the age
of IS or the male within the age of u
years. When there is no parent or
guardian, resident within the State, and
the female has resided in the county
where the license is sought to be OBJ
tanned for one month preceding such
application. license may issue"
Senator Fortune attacked the indict-
ment on the ground that it was in1ra-
terial to specify that Salmon had made
affidavit that Miss Wattam was a resi-
dent of Clark county for one month
preceding the application. and for this
reason the entire Indictment must fail. |
As a ground for this conclusion he held !
that the first sentence of the section, |
which refers to age, and the second |
which deals with the residence |
of the female, were not conjunctive but |
entirely separate. and should be so held |
by the court. Senator Fortune argued /
that any female whose parents or
guardian lived without the State of IN
diana was entitled to secure marriage
license, provided she had resided in the
state one month, no matter what her I
age was.
In case the motion of Senator Fortune
% quash the Indictment against Salmon
s sustained, every bar against eIope-
nents to Indiana will be thrown aside,
I is said, and there will be ample meth
IDS at hand to secure licenses and start
he matrimonial business to going
again with its oId-time vigor. The steps
hat Senator Fortune viii take today
will be watched with interest-Louis-

Mrs. Claude Watney, London won1-
an, has broken all feminine records by
refusing to pay for miniature because
it makes her look too young. The
miniature was done by a we'll known
artist, who was to receive $500 for the
work. But Mrs. Watney declares that
the artist made her look like sweet 10
and therefore ridiculous, and that the
portrait, although pretty" is very I'M
like herself. Hence the refusal TO pay
by the sitter and suit to recover by
the artist.

down as low as 141ac, but at this point
stubborn resistance was encountered
and a quick rally followed. The mar
ket appeared sold out at the decline,
and a considerable short interest has
been created so that the rebound was
very rapid under the efforts of shorts
to cover.
Southern advices tell of determina-
tion on the part of spot holders to re-
fuse any decline, and to hold out for
Ice or over. At any rate, there was
no pressure of offerings, and this, with
light receipts for tomorrow at Gal
weston, caused the recovery TO extend
about 43 points from the bottom With
the prospect of a light movement-not
only to the ports for the next few days,
but also the total for the week-shorts
are not disposed to go over the holi-
days with any cotton on hand, and
they are quick to run on any sign of
strength. There were some kilograms
from Shreveport to the effect that the
cold snap had damaged young cotton
so that replanting would be neces-
sary.
AS we have already had occasion to
say, we do not believe the area af-
fected by recent weather is of any inn
portance, but we must not lose sight
Of the fact that cold snaps are possi-
Bile for another month or more. and
when the next one comes the crop may
be sufficiently advanced to be hurt,
and thus make the position of shorts
in the late months a very uncomfort-
able one.
