RESPONSIBLE
FOR BAGGAGE
Inter Island Must
Pay For Lost
Trunk.
Captain Trip Gets a
Judgment Against
Company.
Common Carriers Responsible Ur-
less Losses Are through
Act OF God.

Judge Diekey decided yesterday that
steamship companies as common car
riers are responsible as insurers for
baggage carried by them. He awarded
judgment against the Inter-Island
Steamship Co., in favor of Captain
James s.. Trip for $125 Captain
Trip brought suit for s2sS.S5, which he
claimed to be the value of various be-.
longings in a trunk and bag, lost by the
Inter-Island Steamship Co. Trip
took passage from Nawiliwili to Homo
lulu on the w. G. Hall in November,
1902. He shipped his baggage on the
Mikahala which was coming the next
day Trip arrived in Honolulu and
Immediately took passage for San
Francisco, arranging with the Union
Express Co. of this city to take the
baggage from the Inter-Island wharf
and deliver it at San Francisco. Arriv-
ing at the coast Captain Trip failed
to find his baggage, and though he
made efforts to do so for eighteen
months he failed, until the first week
in March of the present year, when the
empty was 1OQuQ the
Island warehouse. Trip brought suit
against the steamship company and the
Hustace-Peck Co. as the successors of
the Union Express Co.
On the stand in Judge Dickey's court
yesterday, Mr.. Trip enumerated the
belongings contained in the trunk, the.
value of which he said was approx.
mately s29S.S5. Among the articles lost
was a sextant, charts, night and day
glasses, books, tobacco and clothing.
Guy Kelley, testifying for the defend
ant. said that the trunk was found the
early part of the last month, when the
steamship company moved from its old
quarters to the new wharves. The
trunk was discovered while looking for
another that had been lost. 1t was
found to contain a sextant and some
cid clothes, which witness said were
not of much value and had been given
to natives. The sextant was later dis
covered and turned over to Captain
Trip. The witness testified that no
glasses or tobacco or charts were in
the trunk when opened. Nothing had
been seen or heard of the bag. Judge
Dickey held that the steamship COM
pany was liable for the loss of the bag
gage, it not having been shown to be
due to an act of God or of war. He
cut the amount claimed from $29S.S5
to SIPS. The Hustace-Peck Co. We're
held to be not responsible for the loss
and a verdict was returned in that
favor.

MOTHERS

should know. The troubles with
multirudes of girls is a want of
proper nourishment and enough
of it. Nowadays they call this
condition by the learned name of
Anemia. But words change no
facts. There are thousands of
girls of this kind anywhere be-
tween childhood and young lady
hood. Disease finds most of it's
victims among them. Some OF
them are passing through the
mysterious changes which lead
up to maturity and need especial
watchfulness and care. Alas,
how many break down at this
critical period; the story of such
losses is the saddest in the his
tory of home. The proper treat
ment might have saved most OF
these household treasures, If the
mothers had only known OF

SHOCKS ENGLAND
Earl Roberts Points Out Deficien-
cies in Training of Eng
Iish Army Officers.
UNFIT FOR A SERIOUS WAR
English Military Methods He Holds
Have Not Kept Pace With
the Times.

London, Dec. 30.-Field Marshal
Earl Roberts has given all England a
distinct shock by declaring that the
British army is unfit to engage in war
with that of any modern power. In an
article in the January number of the
Nineteenth Century the former com
mander-in-chief warns his country that
the British army is lacking-not in
guns-not in numbers of its men-but
in the training of its officers He de-
clareS:
"A terrific lesson awaits the nation
whose soldiers find themselves oppos-
ed by equally brave, but better train
ed, opponents on the field of battle
No amount of money, no national sacri-
fees will then avail, for modern war
fare moves fast, and time lost in peace
can never be made up during the stress
of a campaign. hold this view strong
ly, and would urge my fellow country
men with all the force at my command
TO look the plain facts in the face"
Earl Roberts opposes compulsory
service. but declares that steps must
be taken to train men from youth up
in the rudments of military life, so
that they can at least obey simple
marching orders and shoot straight.
Changes in War Methods.
Earl Roberts reviews the changes of
the last 80 years. describes the military
system prior to the Crimean war. and
points out how the introduction of
modern guns necessitated the com
plete abolishment of the idea that men
must be mere machines Officers, he
says, are no longer directly able to
control their men because the fighting
formation has been changed and there
fore the men must have higher stand
ard of individual intelligence, while
among the officers intelligence, self
reliance and the power of leading must
be on proportionately higher level.
The sooner this is realized to the
fullest extent" Earl Roberts says, 'the
better for all ranks when the hour of
trial comes
