MAY Find
A REMEDY
COURT RULES AGAINST HIM BUT
SUGGESTS OTHER WAY TO EN-
FORCE BROKEN CONTRACT.

The Supreme Court gave a decision
this morning in the case of Frank
Lucsweigo, otherwise known as Rus
sian Frank, against the Territory and
the Rapid Transit & Land Company.
The plaintiff was suing for damages
for the non-performance of a contract
made by him with Governor Dole and
Superintendent of Public Wroks Coop
err. 1t provided that he should deed
certain land at King and Beretania
needed for the extension of King and
for Rapid Transit tracks, and that he
should get certain other property and
have his buildings moved to his adjoin-
ing property in a skillful manner. In
a previous suit the court has held that
the agreement is void because executed
by the governor, who was without au-
thority to bind the Territory. The pres
ent action was an equity suit, in which
the plaintiff, by his attorney Charles
Creighton, set forth that the Territory
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1906-01-15

and in this respect Hawaii is forging
ahead.
1t is less than fifty years since the
first bank in the islands was started.
Now there are in Honolulu four banks,
each with capital and resources far be-
yond the banks of most cities on the
mainland of the same population, and
entitled to rank with some widely
known and famous institutions. Kauai
has a banking institution transacting
a general banking business. Hilo is
supplied with a bank which fully meets
its needs, and now Maui has, or will
have two, one at Waikiki, which has
been i'm operation three or four years
and now one at Lahaina. Indeed there
was announcement that still another
was to be established at Kahuui.
Banks are one of the modern conve-
niences of civilization They add to
the safety of life and treasure in every
community, and they cultivate habits
of thrift and industry wherever they
exist.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1906-01-15

had accepted his deeds but had not Civ
en- the consideration, also that the
Rapid Transit was a trespasser on his
land.
The court sustains a demurrer by the
Territory party on the ground that the
Territory has no power to grant the
relief Some hope is given the plain
tin, however that he may succeed by
other means in getting relief. The de-
cision says:
1.-THE Territory demurred on the
ground that the court has no jurisdic-
tion, misjoinder of defendants and that
the plaintiff does not state a cause of
action in that it is not shown that the
cause of action therein set forth is
based upon any contract or act OF a
territorial officer authorized to make or
do the same. The Rapid Transit Com
pany demurred on the same grounds,
with the addition of the ground that
there is misjoinder of causes of action.
1.-THE position of the defendant cor
poration with reference to that por-
tion of the plaintiffs land conveyed by
him to the Territory which the com
pany is using for its railroad track and
cars must be deemed to be that of a
bona fide purchaser for value without
notice of nOnperformance by the Ter
ritory of any part of it's agreement con-
corning the conveyance It is not in
the power of the Territory to cancel
the rights granted to that company,
hence it follows that the RELIEF prayed
for by the bill cannot be granted. We
do not mean to say that upon the facts
alleged in the bill the plaintiff is with
out remedy, If pursued within the time
limited by the statute, for the non-per-
Torrance of an agreement made under
the authority of law by the superin-
tendeDt of public woAks."

FIXING UP FOR CLERK HILL
New Offices in Court House to 81
Provided With Vault.

Architect Osterman has been making
estimates on the cost of Transforming
the room now occupied by the sheriff
in the county court house into a high
vault so that the clerk might move
the county records there.
To do this it will be necessary to
build a solid brick wall from the base
ment up and also enclose the top with
brick. This will mean an expense OF
not less than $S25O. The north win
dow of the room will be sealed up and
fireproof shutters put on the three re-
naming windows.
When the clerks Office is moved II
will be much handler to the court
room and office Of the superior Judge.
1t is probable that the work Of MAX
ing the vault will be begun as soon
as the sheriff moves into the new
Jail.

PENDLETON, Nov. 1O.-It is exp
ected that an entire month will be
consumed in hearing the Walla Walla
valley irrigation suit, which is set for
hearing at Milton on December 4.
Attorney Will R. King, who is con-
Quoting the case for the Peacock Mill
company at Milton, while in the city
attending supreme court, is also pre-
pairing the irrigation case for trial at
the date set for its hearing.
There are over 400 litigants involv-
ed in the case, most of whom will be
in court personally, as witnesses.
The case involves every land own
er along the Little Walla Walla and
Tumalum rivers, and is the most i'm
portant and far-reaching irrigation
case in the history Of the state.
The case was set for hearing at Mil
ton by Judge Bean for purposes of
economy and convenience, as most OF
the farmers interested can stay at
home while attending the hearing at
Milton, while if it were heard in PEN
dleton it would be necessary for many
Of them to remain in the city during
almost the entire month.

At THE COURT HOUSE
OVER REMOVAL Of PRISONERS

Sheriff Painter made no move today
to carry out the instructions of the
county commissioners given him yes
terday to remove the county prisoners
into the new Jail building and, ac-
cording to attaches Of the sheriff's
office the orders of the commissioners
are likely to be ignored until SUCH
time as the new Jail is put into hab-
liable condition.
Jailer Berry said this morning the
electric lights had not been connected
up. no safe, or vault, for the sheriff's
keys and arms had been provided and
several other details have been over
looked. which, however, are absolutely
necessary before the new Jail can be
used.
Another interesting problem in the
controversy between Sheriff Painter
and the commissioners has bobbed up.
It develops that with the exception Of
the range in the Jail kitchen, the coun-
ty owns none Of the furniture or cook

The arrival Of two carloads Of Te-
nino stone and half a dozen expert
bricklayers in the city means that
work on the new Y. M. c. A. building
will go forward with a rush.
The arrival of the stone is feather
in the cap of Secretary Cary. The
work mas been delayed all along or
account of lack of tenino stone for
the trimmings and a few days ago Mr.
Cary jumped on the train and went
to the quarry at Tenino. He camped
there until two cars were loaded with
1000 and 5000 pounds of stone.
Work will be pushed forward now
and it is hoped that if the weather
continues good for a month that the
roof can be put on by that time. When
the roof is once on the inside work can
be crowded all day and it is hoped
that by May the building can be occu-
pied.

F. w. Paine talked of the need of

sion that the people of Walla Walla
would help.
Harry Reynolds showed by con-
crete illustrations how much trolley
line and oposition boat line would
benefit the farmers of this section. AS
soon as the trolley road was built to
the river it would be easy to secure
funds for boats.
Daniel O'Connor said that he was
actually ashamed of Washington in
what it had not done in the open river
matter. He differed from Mr.. Rey-
nolds, thinking that boats should be
put on first and feeders would come
later. He spoke of his willingness
to aid financially, or an other way in
his power to put the thing through.

river" he said, but the Columbia is

People Lethargie.
Professor w. D. Lyman spoke of
the lethargy of the people of the In
land Empire in the matter of an
open river. He said that in Walla
Walla alone an anual business of $12,-
100000 was transacted. That it
would be difficult to get legislative
action because of the Indifference of
western Washington to an open river
that after all the people Of the In
land Empire would have to bear the
brunt and would probably have to do
this by individual cooperative action.
