by Royal Robinson against Warner
StutIer, Superintendent of Street Clean
ing. may be Gelayod much more than
had been expected.
The principal reason for this opinion
was that the Board OF District Com

yestigation. viii have as it first duty
TO decide whether il viii be advisable
70 allow Robinson, in accordance with
his request made "A few days ago, to

time is lost IN allowing Robinson to
search the vouchers and audltS FOR aO-
ditional evidence To support his charges
What action the Commissioners will
take ou this side of the case Is a sub

huying declared that ne is ready with
his witnesses TO go on with the investl-
gation would not be entitled TO delay
the proceedings by making a long ana
exhaustive examination of the official

A Different View.
There are others who say nc ought

refusal of che Commissioners 10 allow
him this chance would not have the
most favorable aspect TO the general
public. II this is done. the iuvestisu-

CASE AND COKE.

EDITOR STAR-In the Star of De-
cember 2Sth appeared an article upon
the action taken by the Maui Republic
can District Committee in the matter
of the Maui Circuit judgship, which
did great injustice to two gentlemen
named therein, to wit, Attorneys d. H.
Case and ]. L. Coke. The committee
did not "sit heavily upon the aspira-
tons" of these gentlemen, for the COM
mittee knew nothing of such aspira
lions. Neither Mr.. Case nor Mr. Coke
had asked the committee or any mem
Der thereof for an endorsement for the
judgship, and the name of Mr. Case
was suggested voluntarily by a friend
as a Republican of Maui in whom alb
solute confidence could be placed. Mr..
Cases name however was not placed
before the committee for a vote, and
have yet to find out that Mr.. Case
has been laying any lines for the judg-
ship.
In justice to both the gentlemen
named feel that this public correction
is due them, and trust you will give
it space.

TANGLE OVER
HILO LEASES
JOHN BAKER TO BE SUED BY
GOVERNMENT OVER REMOVAL
OF BUILDINGS FROM PARK.

There is a merry mix up over the
to the Territory of certain
leased HilO property. The lines are
crossed in many directions and all
hands have started in to clear out the
tangle. Every law firm in town has
been interviewed by government Off
cials, lessee, sUb-lessee, sub sub-lessee
and sub-sub- sub lessee.
The expiring leases were made to John
Baker by the government several years
ago and cover not only lands set aside
for the Hilo Park, but numerous lots
land tracts mauka of Front street. The
trouble arises from the fact that the
government lease to John Baker pro-
vided that the buildings on the pre-
miess should belong to the government
at the expiration of the lease In his
sub leases Baker gave the privilege Of
removing the buildings. This privi-
llege has been passed down to japanese
and other poor tenants. Suit has been
ordered by the government against
John Baker for the buildings removed
from the land set aside for the park.
These buildings were removed under
order from the Territory which it
seems had also forgotten the terms of
it's deal with Mr.. Baker.
| The removal of the park buildings was
ynquestionably a fortunate move so far
as the public is concerned. The old
shacks would have been of little use
for anything except kindling wood to
any one else except the Japanese who
needed them for making new homes in
other parts of the city.-Hilo Tribune.
