FORGOTTEN CASH
IS STILL HELD
MAY DEAL WITH
OFFICE SAVINGS DEPOSITS.

Among the possible legislation to be
brought before the coming session of
the Legislature will be a bill to make
final disposition of the amounts now
on deposit at the First National Ban'E
to the credit of depositors in the old
Hawaiian Postal Savings bank. This
institution became defunct when an
neXation was accomplished and ample
notice was given all depositors to send
i'm their pass books and get their money
OF course the very great majority did
this but for all the numerous notices
there still remains Il large sum undis-
tributed and there seems every chance
that it will so remain.
BY far the greater number of the
outstanding amounts are very small
sums of few cents each which prob
| ably represent accrued interest on old
deposits but there are a large number
of deposits which would make the
average man feel that he had been get
ting money from home if he only had
some way of collecting them. Some of
these run up to 5000 and 5000 and there
are several of over 800 while they in
crease in number as the value grows
less.
Only the other day man wrote from
New Zealand to enquire how his ac-
count was getting along. He thought
that he was drawing interest on a sum
deposited years ago and will be dis
appointed when he finds that he has
been nursing a delusion.
At present the vouchers are kept in
the office of the Secretary of the Trea-
sury Legislative action will be neces-
sary to make some final disposition of
the money and at the same time safe
guard the interests of any depositors
who may eventually appear after all.

BEAR ON DUTY HERE
VESSEL ARRIVES TODAY FROM
FRISCO-WILL REMAIN FIVE OR
SIX MONTHS IN THIS DISTRICT.

The L. 5. revenue cutter Bear, Cap

San Francisco, u days out. The vessel
came into the harbor and anchored in
the stream. She has peen sent to Ho-
nOlulu to remain as the station ship
about this revenue district. She will
remain about five or six months. In
asmuch as most of the commerce CEN
ters in this port, the vessel will remain
at this place most of the time, but she
will make various trips about the ISL
ands. She will make one or more trips
to the islands lying to the northwest of
this group and she is likely to visit
Midway. The vessel has no positive
orders on this score however, and will
remain i'm port some days. She has
some minor repairs to make.
The vessel left San Francisco Decem-
Der II. She experienced good weather
during the trip just missing the severe
storm of sveral days ago. The vessel
had been i'm northern waters before
coming to this place. Captain Hamlet,
her commander, was master of the
revenue cutter Thetis when that craft
was i'm these islands the first part of
this year. Lieutenant Mead, Lieuten-

CHECK CASE
GOES HIGHER
LORD AND BELSER CARRY THE
SUIT AGAINST JOHN WALKER
UP TO THE SUPREME COURT,

AS was minated in the Star the
suit arising out of the accepted order
on Davies & Co., given by John Walker
as forfeit deposit on the Alakea street
slip contract, will be carried to the
Supreme Court. Judge Robinson's de-
cision yesterday was in support of the
contention that the order was to all
intents and purposes an accepted check
and the bill of Lord & Belser to enjoin
the parties from signing contract was
therefore dismissed with costs. This
morning Lord & Belser through their
attorneys filed notice Of appeal to the
Supreme Court. 1t is understood that
the suit is a friendly one to make sure
of the contracts being valid before go
ing ahead with the work and thus pre-
vent future and more costly litigation
after the work is begun.
