on Lands Of Five
Companies.

| in Kula, Maui, by the five companies
lately organized. He passes severe
| judgment on the surveys made by c.
| Nielsen.
| With respect to Pulehu Plantation
| Co., Mr.. Emerson says Mr.. Nielsen'a
| first sketches and descriptions We're re-
jected by him, and after Mr.. Nielsen
had furnished a second set he presented
third sketch that is widely different
from the second. Figures are given to
show the difference.
Mr.. Nielsen's second description of
Kula Plantation Co. lands, according to
Mr.. Emerson, ties up his whole survey
to a granite post described by NJ. d.
Monsarrat in his survey of Pulehunui.
although by his own confession this
post had been washed out by heavy
rains and set in another place" Mr..
Emerson, after showing how the sur
veyor contrived to get over that diff
Guilty, declares: I'm short his work con-
tradicts itself and does not bear critical
examination. l cannot pass it as cor
rect"
Kalialinui Plantation Co. lands sur
vey is next condemned. thus: 80 far
as Mr.. Nielsen's description is copied
Kalialinui it is entitled to the respect
due that well known surveyor. When.
however, he has to do original work the
case is different To give a single in
stance, the eastern end of this lot as
reported in December, 1903, is 700 feet
long, while in January, 1904, he makes
it 500 feet long. Again he copies Mr..
]. F. Browns distance from Pun Koae
to the granite post when that post Is
no longer in it's original position. Such
work is misleading and l cannot pass
1t as correct"
Upon Kailua Plantation Co. survey
Mr.. Emerson also reports adversely,
telling of sketches received at different
times which do not coincide. An I'M
known surveyors work was copied for
part and the survey did not close
that is, the boundary line did not reach
the place of beginning.
Kula Plantation Co. survey is shortly
condemned in these words: Mr.. Mel
sens sketch and description are so full
of errors and contradictions that cam
not pass them as correct"
In justice to Mr.. Nielsen, it may be
stated that he is not professional land
surveyor but an engineer.
What the public is interested in is
the strictness with which the boun-
diaries of property are examined for the
settlement of titles under the Torrens
system, that has recently had {. narrow
escape from abolition in behalf of econ
omy before 1T had more than been start
ed in this Territory.

ing the work of about 800 Japanese in
a large field, when strikers appeared
them and passed the word
around for them to quit. Hutchings,
who was mounted, moved up and or
1ered the disturbers off. According to
Mr.. Hutchngs the Japanese suddenly
punched together and started toward
him with their cane knives. Hutchings
was armed only with a long snake
whip. When he saw their belligerent
attitude, he spurred toward them. Two
Japanese sprang at him and cut at
him with their weapons. One knife
tipped open the lower part of his right
trousers leg and the point of the
other ripped a hole in the trousers at
he knee. Hutchings laid about him
With his whip, marking several of the
aborers. He backed out of the crowd,
and then spurred up to them. This
line his horse suffered for a laborer

aborers began to withdraw and again
them Hutchings got them all
,ut OF the field.
