SHIP SUBSIDY BILL

What the railroad.rate legislation is
90 the mainland. the ship-subsidy bill
Is TO Hawaii and all outlying territory
OF the country.
There is no lack OF broad national
scope in both. The story OF nations
progress Is told in Its transportation
development. The mainland must
have the railroads properly controlled.
The great ocean routes OF trade must
have the ships. This item Of first i'm.
portance the ship subsidy will supply.
The fight for this measure has been
hardly less determined than that for
the canal or other great national prof.
ects. Session after session II has oc'
cupied time and been the subject OF a
tremendous amount Of hard work.
Thus far Il has failed OF passage. Each
session, however, has witnessed a
gain. The majority just given the bill
in the Senate cannot fail to have It's
effect in the House. and since the Sen
ate now has under consideration I'm
portant measures endorsed by the
House, the prospect is rather encour'
aging.
The ship.subsidy law Is the only
sensible accompaniment Of the coast
wise shipping law. II Hawaii can
render its advocates any assistance II
should not hesitate.

work has not reached its limit It has
merely sounded the preliminaries OF
its usefulness and profitableness foi
all. II is no longer an experiment. The
first steps prove that where the first
expenditure has brought excellent re-
turn, an increased investment will give
better percentage of pront. Inter
ference with the investment fund Will
turn the march of progress into a dis
tressing retreat.
We do not know that the Promotion
Committee intends to call for more
funds than II has been regularly re-
ceiying. WeNdo know, however. that
the wharf tax fund is a temptation
when money is needed. II might be
easier to squeeze the promotion funds
o little than go out and canvass finan'
cial support on the merits of. say, the
Sailors Home or the National Guard
These or other worthy objects need
money. But 1t is impossible that theiI
legitimate demands should properly
have priority over anything the Promo
ton Committee may have decided will
help build up Hawaii and spread abroad
more widely its good name, and H.
magnificent opportunities.

Defends
Will Of
Motley

Cecil Brown and Anthony Lidgate,
proponents of the will of the late
Charles Motley; John, Victoria NJ. X,
Lily and VIM. Motley. minors. by their
guardian, w. s. Wise: and Mrs. Emma
Danford this morning filed their brief
in the case before the Supreme Court
wherein Chas. Motley Jr, VIM. Motley,
Maria Hughes and David F. Motley
are contesting the will of Chas. Motley
on the grounds that II was made un-
der the undue influence OF Mrs. Dan
ford upon the testator very much. to
the disadvantage OF the contestants.
After discussing the technical errors
the brief goes on to discuss what con-
stitutes undue influence. II shows
that there was no evidence produced
In the trial before Judge Robinson,
whereby the probate of the will was
confirmed, to show that the testator's
mind was dominated and controlled
by Mrs. Danford, or that she was gull.
ty OF using either fraud, misrepresen'
tation, circumventlon, threats, flattery
or moral coercion to obtain a will pc.
culiarly acceptable to her.
Il is shown that DR.. Herbert testi.
fed that Charles Motley was not a
man who would be subject to a con
trolling influence; that "he was firm,
and that Ibis mental condition during
the six months preceding his death
was exactly as II was during his pre-
vious life, clear and intelligent" Ce
ell Browns testimony is also quoted
showing that Motley was sound men
tally and exhibited no signs of a fail
ing intellect. Other witnesses ere
also quoted. To offset this, says the
brief, the contestants can only show
the testimony of c. +. Chillingworth
who said he thought Motley enjoyed
ladies' society.
The circumstances OF the making o.
the will and the codicils are given IL
detail. It is shown that Motley wen
to Cecil Brown with a previous will
which, he said, he wanted so changed
tina his son Charles should not ge
any money, but that his sons children
should get his share and that the In
come should be held until they becam,
J OF age.
The first codicil, dated August, 1900
J only provided for a change OF execu
tors, Cecil Brown taking T. II. Walk
ers place.
The second codlcil was dated Apri
= IL, 1902. Cecil Brown testified tina
Motley came to him and asked him 4
change his will He had been think
ing the matter over, and had decide,
that the homestead should be givel
to Mrs. Danford and not to his son Da
vid. On Browns suggestion the cod
ell, when prepared, was brought 4
Mrs. Danford's house, where Notle.
was then staying. and was signed on
emily on a veranda. Mrs. Danford wa
not present at its execution, excep
> when she brought the pen and inl
called for by Motley.
Il is shown that Motley chose strar
gers as executors of his will becaus
he could not trust his sons to manag
his large estate. One was a leper, tn

STANDARD OIL EXPOSE

According to the New York World,
the recent investigation of Standard

PROMOTION COMMITTEE FUNDS

Merchants in all lines find that tho
money expended in advertising the at
fractions OF Hawaii has bsen good
investment. Hotel proprietors are OF
the same opinion. Some OF those who
come for a trip remain permanently.
and thus Hawaii has added to its pop
ulatlon citizens who will help make II
grow.
The Bulletin has yet to hear a single
doubt cast on the great value to the
city and Territory OF the EFFORT and
money expended in placing the Islands
properly before the people OF the
mainland.
In the midst OF all this array OF good
things, the Bulletin Is informed that
the success OF the tourist campaign
seems TO have made II easy to dip into
the wharf tax fund, by which the pro-
motion work is supported, for other
things. Just how far this has gone wo
are not informed but there is no doubt
OF how far it should go.
The men of big business or OF little
business in this town should not get
Il into their heads that having mel
with pretty fair or surprising success
with the amount OF money already 'eX-
pended, anything above the usual su-
pend can as well be paid out to the
Sailors Home or the National Guard
or anything else that seems an Inns
mediate need.
The only way 10 clinch this promo
tiOn success is to follow II up. And
. the only way to follow Il up, is to spend
the same amount OF money with lit
tie more added Or at least give tic
. Promotion Committee all II wants to
carry out its steadily developing plans,
all OF which have been profitable TO all
those contributing to the wharfage tax
We are confident that a canvass OF
the large number OF merchants who
assist Inf swelling this fund woud show
an overwhelming majority supporting
the most liberal appropriations pos
sible for promotion work-after such
moneys have been taken out as are nee
essary TO fulfill the original purpose
of the tax, The efforts Of the promot-
ers would of course be of little avail
II the port were not carefully protected,
Once the policy is established OF dip
ping into this fund for specialties that
need assistance, there is no telling
where II will end or how soon trouble
will result with a possible curtailmeni
OF the promotion plans. Such a policy
should be viewed with serious appre-
hension. The Promotion Committee

never aspired to rise higher than the
position of a dock laborer, and the
third had been guilty of defalcation Of
public funds.
Regarding the requests of the will
1t is shown that Mrs. Motley was an
old-fashioned Hawaiian who loved to
wash and iron her own clothes, even
when servants were employed, and
that the $4,000 to $4,000 year, which
she was given by the will, was suffi.
cient for her modest needs. With re-
gard to Charles Motley, II is shown
that his father had no use for him be-
cause his defalcation had hurt his,
the fathers, reputation. Z IL Is shown
that Motley often spoke in scathina
terms Of Charles, and that the sons
own conduct furnishes the reasonable
explanation of his dislnheritance
Against this II is shown that Mrs.
Danford received Only one.sixth OF
the estate and the homestead
With regard to Mrs. Danlord's ger
eral influence in the Motley house.
hold, the brief deals at great length
Il is shown that with the exception
that she, after Motley had struck his
wife, told him to drive that black
woman out of the yard" II did not ap
pear that she, during her seventeen
years stay, said or did anything of
fensive to any member of the family
and II is shown that she by no meant
exercised an undue influence.

Knows the COmice Pear.

SUNNYSIDE, Wash, July 9, 1906
Editor Herald: I notice in the last
number of the Herald an inquiry re-
speeding the Comese or Comice pear. !
was fortunate enough to own twenty
five trees of this variety in Michigan
some years ago. This fine pear is
known by pomologists as "Doyenne de
Comice." 1t is Of French origin and
was introduced into this country about
sixty years ago. 1t is one of our fin
est pears and l am astonished that it is
not more generally cultivated as a
market fruit.
For Brother Burrill's sake I will de-
scribe it. The tree is particularly up
right, vigorous in growth; young wood
is of reddish yellow color Fruit,
large to very large, of a roundish
shape; skin greenish, inclining to yell
low, and when fully ripe beautiful
yellow, somewhat shaded with Grim
son. The fruit is first class, many de-
grees superior to Bartlett; ripens in
October and will keep until December
18th.
Respectfully.
JOSEPH LANNIN.
