RAPID
TRANSIT co.
Jap Wants $4,000 for
the Death of His
Son.

Suit has been commenced against
the Rapid Transit & Land Company
by Omoto Bunhichi for fifteen thou
sand dollars damages because of the
death of Omoto Kyofu, minor nine
years of age, the son OF the plaintiff,
alleged to have been due to the care
lessness of the agents of defendant.
The boy met his death on the first
day of June of the present year. 1t
is alleged in the complaint filed by
plaintiff yesterday that on that day
the child and his mother We're riding
on Rapid Transit car, on the way
to Waialae. and that they arrived safe
~ at the junction of King and Alex
ander streets, where they We're COM
PEELED by the rules of the company to
change cars. 1t is alleged further
that the boy did change to the Waia-
lac car. but that because of the car
starting suddenly he fell from the Wal
aIae car to the ground, and was run
over and killed by car of the King
street line
There are the allegations of care
lessness usual in the papers of this
kind, and 1t the end the plaintiff,
asks for $4,000 damages. and costs of

MR.. ADAMS DEMURS.
The Attorney General, who is acting
for Supervisor Adams in the election
contest instituted by Abraham Fer
uandez, late home rule and Democratic
candidate for Supervisor-at-La has
fled i'll the Circuit Court a demurrer
to the complaint or Fernandez. 1t is
claimed in this that the petition OF
Fernandez is ambiguous and uncertain
in that cit fails to disclose how and in
what Precincts and Districts errors
were committed in the counting of
votes by not keeping proper tallies of
votes. and by not counting the votes
in the manner directed and required
by law, and by counting votes for the
said E R Adams which should have
been rejected, and by rejecting and
refusing to count votes for the petit
toner
THAT said petition is ambiguous in
that it does not state how and in what
manner the alleged fraud was effected
and committed, nor in what precincts
or districts said fraud was committed.
'"That said petition does not state
a prima facie case for recovery in that
it makes general allegations merely of
alleged irregularities without specify
ing III what said irregularity consists
or where said irregularity took place"
The demurrer is signed by Lorrin
Andrews, Wm H. Heen, and E. A.
Douthitt as attorneys for Adams.

KElLETT CASE
IS PUT OVER
Accused Circuit Court
Clerk is Now Out
On Bail.

P. Danson Kellett, late deputy clerk
of the Circuit Court, charged with
the transportation of trust funds
and liable to be charged with several
other things in addition to that, is
out on $500 bail with his father, P.
D. KeIlett, ST., and c. B. Dwight as
his sureties, and his preliminary ex-
animation was yesterday put over by
Judge Robinson, sitting as a commit
ting magistrate, until next Monday
morning at 10 o'clock. County Attor-
ney Douthitt is prosecuting Kellett,
and the accused man is represented
by J. A. Magoon.
In the meantime. the investigation
into the affairs of Kellett is being
continued by the authorities. 1t seems
now that Kellett began to run short
in his accounts with the estates which
represented as long ago as April 1903.
Among the estates in which he had
failed to pay out money as admins
traitor was that of Keauolani. This
estate has long been closed up, so far
as the courts are concerned, and yet
the sum of $10.25 is still due on an
This sum was included in the final
account of Kellett's charges against
"a thnra 9 IA
to show that the account was paid.
And, in fact, it is said to be still I'M
paid. although Kellett collected for it
from the estate.
There are great many other cases
of the same kind, it is thought, that
will be shown when all the bills come
in. Yesterday Judge De Bolt express
ed the greatest surprise at the down.
fall of Kellett. 1T would be impossi-
BILE to get a successor in whom 1
could have had more confidence" the
judge is reported to have said. MIR.
Kellett was apparently as faithful and
reliable a clerk as could be secured.
He was very attentive to his duties,
and always ready with court work.
No clerk could possibly have kept
things in better shape than he did, and
I thought his financial affairs were in
good shape, too
In fact, there was considerable sur
