PREFACE TO THE FUNDAMENTAL
LAW OF HAWAII
Congress has expressly enacted law
organizing Hawaii into a Terri sory,
and extended the provisions of the
United States Constitution to the Ter
ritory.
In a restricted sense, therefore. the
United States Constitution and the Or
ganic Act constitute Hawaii's funda-
mental law; but the Organic Act
specifically re-enacts the great body of
pre-existing Hawaiian statute law,
which was based upon the several Ha-
waiian Constitutions and organic laws.
A large proportion of the law gov
erning real estate, property and per-
sonal rights in Hawaii being based up
on these early constitutions and laws;
and precedents, decisions and court
practice having grown out of them, it
is necessary to consult them in order
to have a comprehensive understand
ing of existing Hawaiian law. They
are nearly all published, however, in
books now out of print, and in scattered
volumes. inaccessible to many, and in
located for all. In fact,
not even practicing lawyers in Hawaii
can. except at considerable ivss of time,
place their hands on the laws ana CON
situations necessary for the study and
decision of practical questions con-
-inually being presented to them.
Under these circumstances it is be-
ieved that the public interest requires
he republication in convenient refer
ence form of what may be called the
law of Hawaii" To meet .
his requirement the following con-
laws and documents have
,een compiled under the common title
f The Fundamental Law Of Hawaii"

-iously issued Bill of Rights

the date of annexation and the pas
sage of the Organic Act, 1SeS-1900
1S The Act of Congress organizing
Hawaii into a Territory. 1900
The laws of 1912 are not ''fundamen-
tai in the sense that the constitutions
and other laws and documents are; but
they have been included herein for the
reason that they were not only the first
written laws of Hawaii, but embodied
many of the pre-existing laws and Gus
toms of the country and therefore
throw a strong light upon the origin
and development of much of the pres
7nt law
Only a few of the laws, constitutions
and documents re-published, have ever
been indexed. A full index of all of
ham is included herein. Instead of one
general index, each is indexed separ
,tely. The reason for such treatment is
hat reference will usually be desired

WALL STREET. REVIEW
SPECULATIVE MIsGIvINGs OBTAINED
 THE UPPER HAND.
Prices Carried to Lower Level, the Rate of Activity of Trading Curtailed
 by Union Pacific.

NEW YORK. Sept. 22.-speculative mis- givings obtained the upper hand and car. activity of trading was much curtailed in spite of the inordnate activity of Union Pacific and Southern Pacific. especially in the early part of the day The misgivings affairs. regarding which the days news was rather fayocable than otherwise, but bore on the doubtful status of some of the rumors lately prevalent and which had been made the basis of operations in the mar ket. This was especially true of those bearing on Union Pacific. which have at- taincd such number and variety as to offer their own refutation by their inconsistency. one with another The result to in- crease the suspicion felt toward them. The one most prominently advanced this morn ing was what dividends on the new South ern Pacific preferred stock are to be promptly inaugurated and soon to be follow ed by a distribution of the common stock This would be of equal benefit to Union Pa cific. which ths expected distribution on Northern Securities which was used to lift the stock yesterday. As long as Union Pa cific advances the rumors seem to be given q certain amount of credence, at least by tho in.imidated shorts in the stock. This strengther the suspicion that the campaih Is primarily designed for the discontinue of the shorts. But when Union Pacific today began to run off in face of Southern Pacific's 1 point advance, the conclusion suggested itself that the actual condition In the stock must be out of point with the rumors, and doubts and caution ensued There was report which not relished by the bulls that several hundred thousand shares of stock now afloat from London for delivery in New York. It Is customary for foreigners to sell their holdings in New York on orders by cable. while their brokers here borrow them for delivery until the arrival of the actual certificates, thus adding to the borrowing demand for stocks

 NEW YORK. Sept 22.-The cotton mar ket opened moderately active and easier on the failure of Liverpool market to follow the sharp advance in our market yesterday. and on heavy profit taking by long hold CTS. The weather was rather more favor able. warmer weather being reported throughout the greater portion of the cotton belt. Some covering by shorts in the early trading steadied the market as did a re- port that Sully was operating on the long side of the market and advising purchases Trading was not active. but support was in evidence on all slight recessions. The crop is now passing through the most critical stage of the year. With the equinox at hand. which generally brings with 1t storms of unusual severity. the crop is in a posi- ton to suffer untold damage and thus, in day. reduce the yield many thousand bales. The short interest. too, has increased materially during the last few days. which makes that side extremely hazardous to operate on. We are still inclined to favor purchases at present prices and on all re- sessions for the present.

Within a week more the board and spot prices In Liverpool must meanwhile corre down considerably to ad- just themselves more closely to the option at which will hen become current. Sep tember in Liverpool is like a summer month here in seasons of exheustion and scarcity and prices are naturally higher during that month. The early news from the South this morning was very bullish and the first decline of 10 points in response to the soft Liverpool was recovered with a rush. Spot demand was reported from many quarters as urgent at advancing prices. Even Provi- dence sent a telegram stating that the de- mand was something fierce, At one time the level establi"hed was higher than last nights closing and within a couple ot points of the top of yesterdays advanc ..
