The proposed exchange of the govern
ment lands on the island of Lanai has
been checked. Late yesterday after
noon Senator L. L. McCandless Sc
cured an injunction from Circuit Judge
Robson, preventing Governor Carter
and Land Commissioner Pratt from
carrying out the proposed exchange.
The move by McCandless was a big
surprise and caused a great deal of
comment in official circles this morn
ing when the details of the course be-
came known
Senator McCandless's opposition to
the proposed exchange whereby Charles
Gay or probably the Spreckels interests
will secure complete control of the
island, is well known. The island COM
prises S6,696 acres of land and out Of
this over $4,000 acres are government
land. One special reason for McCand-
less opposing the government allowing
its control of the island to pass, is the
fact that there are at least two good
harbors on the island. All water front
control would pass from the Territory
if the transfer be made.
The allegations in the bill in equity
are of some length The bill first sets
forth the usual facts that McCandless
is a resident of the territory. that Car
ter is governor and Pratt land COM
missioner. 1t then continues:
First. All those certain public lands
known as and called KamolSu contain
ing an area of 1921 acres, and those

ernment Lease No. 1877, dated Decem-
ber 18th, 1890, for the term of 25 years,
said lease expiring January 1st, 1916
