The suit Of A. Norden a Co; cotton
brokers, to recover $500 from Brodie L.
Duke OF the tobacco manufacturing family
was placed on trial yesterday before Justice
Newourger and q jury In the Supreme
Court Duke was a witness part Of tho
day and will be cross-examined on Monday.
Ths broakars allege that Duke ives them
the amount because OF a sale Of March cot
ton which they effected on his order in
December, 1908 The order reached them
by telegram and was duly executed. When
they telegraphed for margins the reply
was that no margins were needed and, as
10 proved, were not forthcoming. The
brokers' had to sell out the account at a
net loss to them OF 94,SO0.
Duke in~testifyinR laid all the blame for
the transaction on his secretary, ". G..
bramham, who was in the habit Of attending
10 Dukes cotton n other speculations
when Duke was not at hand. Duke says
that the transaction was one of Bramham's
own, and that he, Duke, has no RESPONSE
onIty Tor the loss suffered by the brokers.
Bramham, who is no longer Dukes score
taIy, admitted sending the ~teIegraphio
order to Norden a Co. He said he had done
1t not on his own account but to meet a
Sudden emergency. The order turned out
to be a mistake, and Duke refused TO coun-
tenanoe it, telling Bramham, the latter tes-
titled, that he, Duke, made mistakes enough
OF his own without being responsible for
those Of Others.
Duke testified that ne had never author
lied the sale Of March cotton and added
hat since the panic of 1893 he had done
little or no specializing. Il was on the
wrong side OF the market then " he said.
But Duke added, when I'm in New
York usually buy and sell stocks or cotton
in small amounts TO kill time"
He said that though he had given Bran
ham authority to act in emergencies he
had never authorized him to speculate
cotton for his account.

Considering that the area of the

The secretary OF the interior in his
recent report, says of Hawaii.
Hawaii, though small, being COM
posed OF but eight principal islands,
with an area of 664O square miles,
contains natural phenomena and
physical aspects that make 1t Won
derful. Probably In no similar area
of the world are such contrasts OF ma
ture or such wide extremes to be
found In close proximity.
Snow-clad mountains within short
distance of a warm seashore, which
arrests the sparkling waves of trop-
ical seas; a volcano which for CEN
turtles has constantly manufactured
raw material, the disintegration Of
which supplies the rich and fertile
soil of the island; land where, the
pine tree is found beside the palm;
broad fields, rugged mountains, high
cliffs surrounded by the sea, all em-
brace n country literally the meeting
point between the occident and the
orient, with n population including
representatives of the different tribes
or races of mankind.
The greatest change of the year has
been brought about through the pas
sage by the last Legislature OF coun-
~ act, by which there has been d
subdivision of various functions OF
the government through the establish
ment of a county system. The terri.
tory is divided into five counties, but
the powers granted are not 30 wide ol
so complete as those usually existing
on the mainland. The measure In @
way, wae experimental, not carrying
with It the power of taxation, so thai
for the present the situation Is unique
in that the work undertaken by these
counties is provided for by allotment
of what has heretofore been territor.
ial income.
The territory's finances are In ex.
cellent condition, and the great re-
duction made In expenditures during
the special session of the Legislature
In 1904 is now being appreciated.
The fiscal year ended June 80, 1905
shows most favorable balance, ant
for the second time since annexation
the expenditures have been kept with
in the income. Another very import
ant change is that the tendency tina
had developed of overdrawIng or ex
ceeding appropriations made by tn,
legislature has been checked; this, 1
is stated, is due to good judgment dis
played by the legislature and bette
methods adopted by heads OF depart
ments.
