THE LORD DID It
IS THE DEFENSE

The spoiliation of the contents Of
Miss Genevieve Dowsetts trunk while
the trunk was being carried on the
steamer Kinau last December was IAN
act of God" for which the company is
not to be held responsible, according to
the answer fi,el by The 90 npany this
morning in the United States court, to
Miss DOwsett's suit. The act i'm ques-
ton was the sending Of a wave ten feet
high, which swamped shore boat and
washed a sailor out of it, besides caus-
ing the trunk to be flooded and it's val
liable contents spoiled.
Miss Dowsett's suit was for 1922, for
long list of highly expensive articles
of wearing apparel which were spoiled
while being carried in a shore boat
from the Kinau. She claimed the bad
management on the part of the Kinau
crew caused the accident,
The steamship company says that it
had an efficient crew i'm charge of the
boat, but that, as a wis major" or act
of God, a wave ten feet high, followed
by another equal one, struck the shore
boat The waves would have swamped
any boat the company has, says the
answer, and the damage was not to be
avoided. The company also sets forth
that its receipts for trunks and baggage
declare that no responsibility will be
assumed over 800 and that libellant
has never made any demand for dam
ages beyond that sum.

opportunity for competition. Such a
doctrine as contended for on behalf
Of respondents would open wide the
door to corruption, fraud and favorit-
ism. S8lAW
II fail to see why the principles
which are applicable to the awarding of
the contract in the first instance, and
the observance of which principles are
deemed so vital and essential to the
validity of the contract, are not equal
ly applicable and essential to any
change resulting in another or different
contract. In the case at bar the
superintendent of Public Works, in the
first instance, under the requirements
of the statute, duly caused public adj
vertisement for tenders to be made
for the purpose of awarding a certain
contract according to certain plans and
specifications to the lowest bidder.
But, instead of awarding the contract
so advertised, he now without such
advertisement, proposes to award an
other contract, In my opinion, for
the reasons already stated, the pro-
posed contract is clearly illegal and
the awarding of it, under the circum-
stances, would be contrary to public
policy as well as the statute"
The change that was made in the
terms of the contract was by striking
out the provision that the contractor
must pay for a government overseer to
watch the work. 1t was found that
this would not be necessary as the
superintendent at Lahainaluna is COM
petent as overseer. The pay was 81
per day, and the difference, it was
claimed, made Kendalrs bid a lower
one than anY other.

DISTRICT JUDGES
IN A TANGLE

the entente cordiale is strained some

Dickey. Judge Dickey thought he

The misunderstanding arose over the
disposition Of the magistrate business.
Judge Dickey has always looked after
the civil business ever since he has
been one of the magistrates When
Judge Lindsay was appointed to the
position of magistrate caused by the
death of the late Luther Wilcox,
Dickey was adv, need to be first magis-

During Judge Lindsays recent vaca-
ton on the island of Kauai. Judge
Dickey thought he would like to look
after the criminal business and so in
formed Judge Lindsay by letter The
latter did not respond however but
waited until he returned this week
before making a reply. Yesterday
there was a conference between the two
judges. Dickey said he wanted to
take over the criminal cases. Lindsay
declined positively to relinquish that
part of the work and so the matter
ended. Lindsay took the position that
the law makes no provision as to whe-
Their the first or second magistrate shall
try the criminal cases and as he had
always had them he decided to con-
tinue with that line of the work.

Is GRANTED

Judge De Bolt this morning granted
a permanent injunction restraining the
superintendent of Public Works from
Bros. for the construction of the La
hainaluna school building. The deci-
sion was in the suit of Herbert Ken
dali, who claimed that he was the
lowest bidder for the contract, under
the terms of the published call for
bids. After the publication of the ad-
vertisement a change was made in the
specifications and all the contractors
who were going to bid, as far as Hollo-
way knew, were notified. Kendall,
however, received no notification and
bid on the old basis.
Judge De Bolt says that it does not
matter who was the lowest bidder or
whether Kendall was notified or not.
The law requiring advertisement for
bids was designed to prevent fraud and
favoritism and must be strictly follow
ed. The court says:
"If the Superintendent of Public
Works after such public advertise
ment for tenders is at liberty to make
one CudnSe III the plans OF Speclncd-
tons without re-advertisement, then,
upon the same principle, he may made
other changes, no matter how great,
and award a contract thereon accord
ingly. This, in m opinion, is in d.
rect conflict not only with the statute,
but with public policy and cannot be
recognized upon any theory consistent
with a fair and impartial administra-
ton of public affairs. In the matter
of awarding public contracts there
should be the fullest and most ample

The tactics pursued by republicans
to line up their voters are sufficiently
funny to bring forth the horse
laugh" OF tradition. Two years ago
Long started the battle cry, "Stand
by the president, which being inter-
preted meant ''Vote for fellows who
will cast their votes to elect me to the
United States senate" 1t worked all
right. The present fight on the ma
chine has assumed such alarming
proportions that it has been deemed
necessary TO adopt similar tactics to
save the present state ad ministrati on.
In this dt>tricj the Hutchinson News
sounds the note of alarm and SAYS:
''Why this fight on. Bailey?" Then
answers its own question with, 1T is
because he.was for Long for United
States senator" The News evidently
Overlooks the fact that during that
senatorial fight Bailey was extremely
busy trying to- keep his fingers from
getting burned. IL is necessary, how
ever, to get up some kind of story
to line up the Seventh district, and
this one is as good as any-if it
works.

The Northwestern railway. operat-
ing out of Chicago, has made an or
der that will commend itself to all
righ.-minded people, especially those
whose business requires them to travel
a great deal. The order Is that their
trains once late shall remain late to
the end of the run. No. attempt shall
be made to recover lost time and the
speed shall at no time excel the reg
ular schedule. In explain alton of this
order the offic ers state that the larger
part of the disastrous winter wrecks
are caused by the efforts To make up
lost time. Again it will be a matter
of convenience to the travelling public
to know that trains will not make up
lost time as one can then tell what to
expect when train is reported an
hour late. 1t will not be necessary to
spend that hour cooling ones heels in
the depot for fear it will make up the
time.

If the present state administration
should be turned down and Hoch
nominated for governor it would be
taken as an admission of the failure
of the republican party TO fulfill its
campaign pledges 1t would mean
that Bailey has been a failure. 1t
would mean that the party believes
the charges of boodling and whole
sale graft made against the legisla-
ture are true. It would mean that
the once great republican parry can
no longer be trusted to direct the

One of the funny thin2s in the pres
ent sqna5ble in the republican RANKS
this STA is the fact that every one
is rushing in with resolutions Com
mitteeI ge5 together to call conven-
tious and pass resolutions. Conven-
tious meet and adopt resolutions In
fast. conventions are being called
more for the purpose of ''resoluting"
than for nominations. If this thing
keeps on we will soon find the various
bosses of high and low degree giving
out resolutions that they have indi-
viduafly adop:ed. The present rush
would indicate that each was afraid
he might be the last. They all begin
with endorsing Roosevelt and then
switch to Bailey or Hoch according to
the indiv idual preference of the writer.
