Jury Was
Very Far In
The Wrong


The Supreme Court this morning de-
cidcd the school ejectment case of
David Is Baker VS.. A. NJ Brown. the
late A. r. Atkinson, Lorrin A. Andrews,
former sheriff of Hawaii and George
Kamauoha. A jury i'm Kona found a
verdict against the defendants for So
OO2, of which $500 was declared by
the jury to be against Atkinson, who
was the head of the department Of
public instruction and ordered the eject
ment which led to the suit. Judge
Matthewman set aside the verdict as
unauthorized and void, and the higher
court sustans his ruling.
The reasons for the setting aside OF
the verdict are set forth as follows:
"A judgment awarding several dam
ages against the defendants in an ac-
ton of tort alleging a conspiracy to
commit the wrongs charged, is UNI
authorized by the law which forbds an
Rpportionment of damages in SUCH
cases and holds the defendants to
| joint liability. The judgment which
was entered was not merely erroneous,
it was so radically wrong as to be alb
soutely void and therefore was pro-
perly vacated at a subsequent term. 1t
was, in effect, four judgments, allow
! ing four separate executions against
the defendants.
IF the plaintiff, following some one
of the courses adopted in the cases he
cites, were to apply to the trial court
for leave to enter judgment either a
gainst all the defendants for $4,000 or
for $500, the highest sum assessed "a
gainst any one of them, or for any of
the smaller sums assessed, RENTING
the damages against the others, the rul-
ing upon such application could come
before us f,r consideration on error or
exceptions when we should have to de-
eide whether the verdict could be taken
to be finding for the plaintiff general
ly as against all the defendants for
3002 with an unauthorized and void
apportionment of the damages so that
judgment could be entered for that sum
against all, or a finding for the plain
tiff, not for $4,000 against all the de-
PENDANTS. but for the sums assessed a.
gainst them severally as damages a
| mounting 10 9o'VOZ, ana WheIHSl III Il'
latter case judgment could be entered
against any one for the damages as
sessed against him disseminating a.
gainst the others, or whether judgment
could be entered against all for the
amount found against any one of the
defendants.

FINEST RUINS
ON THE EARTH
SAN FRANCISCO'S CITIZENS FULL
OF ENERGY AND MAKING GOOD
SAYS HUTCHINS.

San Francisco is making good" said
Clinton j. Hutchins, who returned Fri
day from a visit to San Francisco.
THE tremendous task of clearing away
the debris is going ahead very fast, and
the people of the city are undertaking
it with unbounded energy.
THE spirit shown by the people Of
the city is wonderful; In spite of all
difficulties they remain cheerful and
full of enthusiasm. An illustration of
this is in the claim, set forth with much
acclaim, that, anyhow. San Francisco,
whatever else she may not have, has
the finest ruins on earth. And prob
ably she has"
"Of course it don't look like they
were making much impression on the
square miles of debris they have there,
but they are removing the debris at
the rate of a mass three yards wide,
three yards high, and five miles long
every day. l think that is going some
thing.
THE amount of business that is be-
ing done is something marvellous.
Stores of all kinds are just as busy as
they can be. The only danger l see
for San Francisco is this reign Of
violence which is going on. If the
police don't get in and do something
there will be a vigilance committee or
ganized. Little girls are being held up
in broad daylight and their car fare
taken from them. Crimes of violence
are rampant
Los Angeles was said to be growing
at the rate of a thousand a day, when
l was there, though this of course was
an unusual squirt The people down
there are soon to vote on the PROPOSE
tion of including San Pedro, and some
of the other suburbs i'm Los Angeles and
making a seaport of it,"

All Chin went into custody. Twenty

yelled that he was not guilty as soon
as his indictment was read to him, but
Hogan objected to the entering of a
plea and plea was reserved.
In addition to this long list of theft
indictments, there were several for
assaults and batteries. Muriyama was
indicted for having bitten off the right
ear of a Japanese woman. A. Carval-
no was arraigned for murder in the
first degree, for having, as was alleged,
shot German on Punchbowl as re-

The Civic
Treatment OF
WaterhOuSe
STRONG FEELING OF RESENT
MENT FELT IRRESPECTIVE OF
PARTY

The report Of the Civic Federation re-
garding the county treasurershp has
caused great deal Of comment. The
failure of the Federation to include
f. T. p. Waterhouse the Republican no.
minee among the endorses and the
reason for Withholding such endorse
ment have caused a great deal Of criti-
cism of the Federation.
The reason given in the report was
that the Republican machine which it
was desired to break, had failed to re-
nominate him for the Legislature and
had turned him down on denomination
for the legislature, as the machine had
, insisted that he accept the nomination
for county treasurer i'm order to use
his popularity as a club to strike down
r. Fl. Trent the Democratic incumbent
! As a matter of fact these statements
/ by the Federation are incorrect and are
so palpably incorrect that it is believed
( they are certain to overcome whatever
influence the treasurer endorsement
might otherwise have had.
The real conditions are that Water
house announced months ago that ht
would not be able to be a candidate 70
the legislature. His reason given wa
that his business interests would no
permit his taking the time that tn,
session of the Legislature, in event o
his election, would have required. H
announced however that he would b.
a candidate for the county treasurer
ship. His was one of the very earlies
announcements and it was smade LON
before the Republican primary election
were held and long before any slate
had ever been fixed up for county o
legislative nominations

SAYS STATE Commission
EXCEEDED ITS POWERS

Walla Walla, Dec. 8.-Judge Thorn
as 81. Brents of the superior court,
holds that the state railroad commits
sion has exceeded it's powers in order
ing rates changed throughout the state
where complaint has not been made
as required by the law governing the
commission.
If this decision is upheld it will
have the effect of knocking out the
rates ordered by the commission. The
decision was made in overruling the
demurrer made by the state to the
complaint fled by the railroad compa-
MES in which they asked for writ of
review of the proceedings held in Wal
la Walla June 20 last. The complaint
was fled by the Oregon Railway and
Navigation Company, the Great North;
err, the Northern Pacific and the
Washington and Columbia railways.
The railway commission has ten
days in which to file an answer in the
case. Every effort will be made to
have it adjudicated by the supreme
court before the legislature meets, in
order that if it is finally decided that
the law does not give the commission
the power to fix new rates, this power
may be added.

Arrangements for Line to Portland are
Kept Secret.

Seattle. Dec. 10.-Chicago, Milwau-
kee & st. Paul officials here have Civ
en- out an authoritative statement of
their completed plans for building
from Glenham, s. D., to Seattle. It is
shown in this authorized statement
that the Montana Railroad has been
taken over by the Milwaukee line and
will be radically revised, much curva-
ture and many grades being elimi-
mated.
Like the former announcement. Of
the line surveyed from Glenham to
Butte, the official statement does not
go beyond the route absolutely deter
mined. Nothing is said of the projec-
tion to Portland, which has been in
confirmed in previous an
nouncements Of high officials OF the
road. Nor is there anything in the
report that confirms the report of an
alliance with the Hartman system
and joint occupancy Of tracks lead
ing into Portland. President EARRING
on his last visit to Seattle absolutely
refused to discuss the Portland extern
sion, but he stated broadly that his
line would tap all important places in
the Northwest.

Sugar Trust Sentenced to Pay $4,000
on Account of Rebates. .
New York, Dec. 12.-Fines aggre-
eating $3.50, 900 we're imposed yester-
day by Judge Holt in the United
States circuit court upon the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining Company and the
Brooklyn Cooperage company, after
defendants through counsel had plead
ed guilty to indictments charging the
acceptance of rebates on sugar ship
ments in violation of the Elkins anti
rebat ng act. The sugar company was
fined $50, 900 and the cooperage COM
pany $40, 600.
After the fines were imposed United
States District Attorney Stimson, who
conducted the prosecution, told the
court that he thought the amount Of
the fine assessed was sufficiently large
to act as deterrent to rebaters in the
future, and that the government
would consent to the remainder of the
indictments against the American Su-
gar Refining Company and the Brook
Ign Cooperage Company being dis
missed.
Judge Holt granted motion dis
missing the other indictments.
