PETITION REFUSED.
Judge Dubois Renders Interesting Decision
In PrefontaIns-fachand Case.

In the appellate division OF the supreme
court yesterday Judge Dubois rendered a
decision I'm the case OF Hermenegilde Pre-
fontaine and others against Louis S.
Bachand. assignee. The matter decided
was a petition for the removal of an as
signee, and II was heard and denied by
the court
The petition was one purporting to come
from creditors OF the assignor. represent
ing more than one-fifth In amount. and Il
charges that the respondent has not made
a true. correct and complete inventory
OF the property. that he has sold and dis
posed Of the property for an amount less
than the sum fixed by order OF the court
and that he has been guilty OF misconduct
and incompetency In his execution OF the
trust.
The court says. replying 10 the first
allegation set forth in the petition that
"as a committee OF the creditors at a
meeting held the 18th OF September. 1903
reported that the above stock OF goods
has been very carefully inventoried by the
assignee the court will not now say that
II was not. The creditors were on the
spot. with full opportunity to examine
the condition OF affairs for themselves
within 10 days from the date OF the as
signment and the court Is not
satisfied from evidence coming from inter-
ested parties TO determine that the
creditors were deceived into making an
untrue report"

SOCIAL
PROBLEMS
DISCUSSED

The Clark club OF Grace church met in
sh rooms at the church. The evening s
speaker was Hon. John II stiness. former
chief justice OF the Rhode Island supreme
court.
lens his remarks being broad and inclu-
sive in scope Capital ana labor, trusts
and host OF lesser issues confronting
us were ably treated in the course OF the
talk
AS TO capital and labor. Judge stiness
empha sized the increased power OF both
and the grave danger OF such further In
crease that a clash between the two great
forces will be fraught with dire possibili-
ties for wreck and ruin.
The speaker said that the rich were
getting much richer without doubt, but
that also the poor were getting more Arm
ly established on this point he said:
1T is a fact, OF course, that wealth
nowadays means more than IL did Few
years ago. but with this change In the
relative position of the rich class a
change has likewise taken place amons
the working class The extravaganza oi
the wealthier class of the present time Is
what has produced the discomfort among
the poorer classes. but that does not oo-
scure the fact that the common people oil
today are better housed, better educated
and better fed than the same class oil
people a few years ago.
Trusts, both OF capital and OF labor
were lucidly discussed. The tendency to-
wards er-zealous and unscrupulous
competition was declared to be grave
menace 10 public welfare. Legislative re-
lief was pronounced by Judge Suness the
only efficient resistance 10 be made
against the spread Of the evil.

NEED OF REMEDY.

During the investigation. however. II
was seen that while full compliance with
the law had been made. there was one
condition which might well be changed.
Masters and pilots and engineers OF
steamers navigating i'm inland waters are
required 10 pass examinations and to
prove their knowledge, as is required for
those who serve on ocean going vessels,
but the mates are not required so TO
prove their efficiency. In case OF disaster
the responsibility for the control or di-
rection OF the passengers would largely
fall upon these mates, some OF whom EN-
ployed on the vessels inspected could not
speak the English language.
This is condition which ought not TO
exist. IT is estimated that during the past
summer there We're carried upon the reg
ular excursion steamers plying on the
waters OF Pawtucket and Providence river
LOO 900 passengers. Surely such a number
gives this state the right TO interest itself
In q movement 10 remedy this condition
AS all control of such vessels rests in the
national government. the state could do
nothing more than to call the attention
OF congress to the facts and to request
that action should be taken TO remedy so
important a defect In the w. resolu-
ton from the general assembly, request
ing our representatives I'm congress TO do
so, would certainly he I'm the line OF
proper care for the safety or our people.
In accordance with Chatter So. section
Il. Of the General Laws, / recommend
that the sum Of twenty-five thousand dol
lars be appropriated for the Soldiers
Home fund for 1905 and the sum of
eleven thousand dollars for the Soldiers
Relief fund
I would urge upon the general assembly
the =tlesiHaAility ef demonstrating early I'm the
session the matters which are presented
During the session subjects Of great inn
portance are 10 be offered. and IL will be
for the public good that they should re-
ceive early attention. In that way. and I'm
that way only. can they be given proper
consideration. otherwise there is not only
danger but great probability that the leg
lslation will he hastily enacted, and in
consequence Il will be more or less inn
perfect. Confident that you are all here
with the single and common purpose of
serving the state to your best ability, i
have no doubt that the public business
will be given proper consideration and
will be acted upon with becoming prompt
ness. -

was also injured by being hurled
against the boat After this occur
renee no more people were carried
ashore
The settlement band was on the
beach to welcome the visitors and its
music was supplemented by the work
of the Territorial band under Captain
Berger. After landing, the investigat-
ing committee held session at Pauahi
hall and another in the square in front
of the superintendent's cottage. AT
these sessions complaints were heard
and suggestions for the improvement
of conditions at the settlement were
made.
Complaints, however, We're remarka-
BILE for their fewness. There were no
general complaints made, the only ones
being about small matters. A request
was made for additional medical at
tendance and another for the improve
ment of the water system. Some were
opposed to the development of more
water in order that taro might be cul
tivated. They contended that more
taro patches would lower the sanitary
standard of the place. The question OF
a wine and beer license was brought up
and on a rising vote of the lepers pres
ent the scheme was opposed by a. ma
jority.
The guests then lunched at the home
of Superintendent McVeigh and were
royalty entertained. In the afternoon
the various institutions at the settle
ment were visited and many took the
ride to Kalawao. The Kinau sailed
from Kalaupapa at about $50 p. m.
arriving in Honolulu at 11:10 p. m.
One thing that was noted was the
regard in which Superintendent Nc
Weigh is held by his charges. One man
said yesterday: HE is in reality our
father. Before we made complaints to
the superintendent and they were not
needed. Now that Mr.. McVeigh has
come to US any one, Hawaiian, haole,
Porto Rican, Pake or any other ma
tionality may go to him with COM
plant and it will be investigated" On
the whole the lepers were well salts
fed with the year.
There We're said to be over four hum
dred passengers on the Kinau, a rec
ord-breaking crowd.

into her slip at 11:10 last night after
her trip to the leper settlement with
the members of the legislature and
others. All. with the exception of those
who We're seasick, agreed that the voy-
age was an ideal one. In fact the sea
was so smooth that it was great sur
prise to find the surf on Molokai so
high that it was dangerous work
maneuvering the small boats and a
great number of the passengers did
not go ashore at all
The Kinau sailed from Honolulu at
1915 Saturday evening and after an
easy trip arrived off Kalaupapa at
about o'clock yesterday morning.
The ship lay off shore until els, when
the first boat was sent ashore. It was
seen that ii was very rough, the surf
dashing high on the beach. 1t was
with great difficulty that the boat con-
tanning President Pinkham of the
Board of Health got ashore.
Seeing the pilikia with the first boat,
Captain Freeman decided to seek an
other landing place and steamed along
the coast to KaIawao, where it was
also found to be too rough TO land. The
steamer next proceeded to Waikolo.
Here it was also very rough, but new
ertheless the House CoBmittee and two
other persons got ashore and went
overland to the settlement. After land
ing these people the Kinau went back
to Kalaupapa and as the surf had
abated somewhat it was decided to
risk an attempt at landing the passen-
