| dian Of Annie Thelma X. Parker, a
minor. ]. S. Low, as next friend of the
| minor, makes the motion in probate,
Backing 1t with an affidavit. Judge
Gear signs an order appointing ]. S.
Low as guardian ad Item of the minor
in all the matters Of the motion, and
setting the motion for hearing before
him at chambers on June 2S. 1t is also
ordered that the papers be served upon
A. w. Carter, upon the minor and upon
Elizabeth Jane knight, mother Of the
minor.
Annie T. X. Parker Is the daughter Of
the late John p. Parker, Jr., and grand
daughter of Samuel Parker. and she
owns a half interest in the Parker
Ranch. AS previously reported, Eben
p. Low went to Hawaii in the steamer
Kinau on Tuesday, under instructions
from Samuel Parker, owner of the other
half interest, to take over the manage
ment Of the Parker Ranch. A wireless
message was received from the place
yesterday morning stating that F. w.
Carter, the manager in possession, re-
fused to surrender the management to
Low. Alfred w. Carter Is on the ground
and said to be advising his brother to
make resistance.
]. s. Low. in the suit entered, moves
that A. w. Carter "be removed as such
guardian on the ground that he is an
unsuitable person to act as such guar
dian, in that he is charging the estate
OF said minor with unreasonable and
extortionate commissions" vurther.
that he is mismanaHng the estate Of
said minor, and refuses to consent to
sale of certain Of the real estate of
said minor. when 1t is for the benefit
of the said minor that the same should
be sold"
Mr.. Lows affidavit opens with a
statement that his mother is the first
cousin of Samuel Parker, grandfather
of the minor, over whose property A.
w. Carter was appointed guardian on
September rs, 1899. John p. Parker,
father of the minor, and the deponent
were reared together in the home of
John P. Parker the elder. They grew
from childhood to manhood together.
and were as fond of each other as
though they were brothers" BY rea-
son Of such relations deponent has al |
ways taken great interest in the at
fairs of said minors" From such ground |
Mr.. Low proceeds to make his COM
plants against Carter as follows, much |
from the legal document:
A. w. Carter has charged the minors |
estate with commissions at the rate
Of 10 per cent, z per cent and per
cent on the gross income. which though
the statutory commissions are, in view
Of the large income. Sin excess of the
value of the services rendered. Thus,
in 1903 the guardians commissions
amounted to s2091.4S. Deponent is in
formed that reputable and responsible
business men in Honolulu would do the
same work for commission not to ex-
ceed s per cent; he believes that a
and reliable person can be
hat Carter is only charging 3h on
gross income for almost similar SER
ices.
Since the death of John P. Parker
he elder about thirteen years ago,
samuel Parker has carried on the BUSH
less of the Parker Ranch partnership.
Nearly all Of the income of the minor
$ derived from said partnership and
'arter has charged 3la per cent on the
ross income of the ranch, so that not
My does he charge the statutory COM
MISSIONS before mentioned, but the 3Ih
yer cent stated, making his commits
oins exceed 1919, 10h and So per cent,
nd that 3la per cent is also an excess
i've amount for Carter to charge for
ooking after the business of the ranch.
