DAMAGES
Sues Oceanic Company
for $500 for False
Imprisonment.

Thomas Joseph Ford has brought 6
libel in admiralty against Oceanic
Steamship Company for $3.50 damages
on account of false imprisonment
| Libelant shows that he is about 81
| years of age and an unmarried man
| His occupation for a long time has
| been that of a marine fireman he al
| present having no other source of in
come than his wages from such occu-
| patton. For long time past his aver
| age wages We're $40 a month besides
| board and lodging valued at $40 u
month
AS cause of action Ford states that
| while the libeleeS steamer Ventura on
which he was articled as a marine
fireman, was in this port, from San
Francisco on her voyage to Sydney,
on June %, the libelee did falsely,
wrongfully, unlawfully and without
any reasonable or proba BILE cause or
lawful authority therefor, seize and ar
rest the libelant on board the Ven
tura, and compel him to leave the
vessel, and had him removed from the
vessel and confined in prison in Homo
lulu. He was confined there for a
period beginning on Thursday, June
rs, and ending on Tuesday, July 3. No
cause existed for his arrest and he did
not regain his liberty until discharged
upon his writ of habeas corpus by
Judge De Bolt.
While he was imprisoned the Ven
tura sailed away on her voyage, tax
ing with her all of libelant's clothing
and personal effects, the value of which
was about $50 and further libelee paid
him no wages, so that he was left
without clothing or money in coun
try in which he was a stranger.
This libelant further shows" the
complaint runs, that the aforesaid ar
rest and imprisonment was without
legal process or color thereof, and not
in due course OF law, and that the
course and conduct of said libelee as
aforesaid was in wanton and reckless
disregard of the rights of this 1ibelant
and wholly without excuse or justif1-
cation of law.
This libelant shows that by reason
of all the premises, and by reason of
said arrest and Imprisonment, and by
reason of the deprivation of his liberty
and the hardships, privations, humil-
iation and disgrace which he has I'M
dergone, he has suffered and sustained
damages IN the sum ana amount VI
five thousand dollars ($5000) in lawful |
money of the United States, together
with the value of clothing lost as
and together with the sum
and amount of wages lost as afore- |
said and board and lodging of the |
value as aforesaid, all |
in the aggregate to the full |
sum of five thousand one hundred and |
ninety dollars ($5190) in lawful money |
of the United States"

COMPLAINS OF
QUALITY OF FRUIT

Editor Advertiser: Honolulu is being
supplied with the poorest quality OF
fruit that the writer has ever seen
placed on the market, practically all
of it being picked SO green that it
never natures its flavor or becomes
sound article Of diet.
There is, in my opinion, but one rem
edy for this condition, to wit: absolute
refusal on the part of consumers to
purchase fruit OF this character
coupled with plain statements to deal
ers of the reasons for not purchasing
On the other hand, in order that loss
to dealers may not occur it would be
necessary for them to take their orders
Tor ripe fruit in advance of delivery.
and this they would have no difficulty
in doing
The writer, as an example of many,
would be a regular consumer of alli-
gator pears, figs, mangoes, etc. if he
could place his orders for properly
ripened fruit. while under present con-
ditions he seldom purchases the imma-
ture, sour. acrid. insipid or otherwise
Objectionable product offered by ped
dlers and fruit stands.
Begin the reform by refusing to pur-
chase such stuff and stating to dealers
the reasons for not purchasing.

To ENFORCE
SEWER ACT
Peters
Will Begin Suits
at Once.

A conference has been held between
Governor Carter and Attorney CT nera
Peters relative to the enforcement o,
the Sewer Rate Act of 1904, which has
never been enforced, but which it i
proposed shall be.
There have accumulated under the
act delinquent taxes that are now est
mated to foot up something like twenty
| thousand dollars. The act gives Dis
trict Magistrates power of enforcement
and 1t IS the purpose of the Attorney.
| General at once to institute proceed
| ings before the District Magistrate in
| Honolulu against such delinquents as
| Clarence Cooke, the Bank of Hawaii,
| the Bishop Estate, the Honolulu Iron
Works, the Rapid Transit Company and
other wealthy property owning indi-
viduals and corporations, permitting
the small owners and poorer people to
come into the actions later
These suits will be pressed to a con
clusion as rapidly as possible, and Incl
dentally, of course, the validity of the
law itself will be tested. The Sewer
Act was passed by the Legislature of
1904, going into effect the following
year. 1t is an act relating to garbage
and sewerage in Honolulu, and after
providing that it shall be the duty of
the Superintendent of Public Works,
conforming to the requirements of the
Board of Health, to have direction of
all such matters, says:
''The rates of charges for such ser
vice, and for the use of the sewer shall
be fixed from time to time by the
of the Governor, and shall be reason
ably approximate to the cost of work
done and material used. Rates of
charges for sewer use shall be fixed, as
nearly as reasonably may be, so that
the entire yearly receipts for sewer use
shall not exceed the total yearly cost
of maintaining and repairing the
sewers, together with the early interest
on the bonds representing the cost of
the sewer system.
The rates have been fixed, but have
never been collected. This has been
largely because of a press of business
in other directions on the several de-
partments. Now, the Acknowledgement
proposes to see that the act is en-
forced and nroceedinos will he inSti- |
tuted at once.

the trimmings and makeup. All are
French. For dressy occasions all are
full and, without exception, elbow
sleeves.
Corsets are more elaborate and more
expensive than ever. Many of the very
newest models indicate clearly the lines
demanded in the fashionable figure by
the latest frock ideas.
Fullness of bust is desired, and a
high bust is demanded by all princess
gowns and waists of the day. At a
fashionable corsetaire's many novelties
are seen. One of the latest conceptions
is the bust support, which if worn with
any corset will give the correct bust
lines. They are charming with frills of
lace, ribbon knots and shoulder straps
of wide silk elastic, which fasten under
the arm.
There is short corset waist, terminal
ing under the arm, made of woven rib
bon and worn with the bust support.
These are only for the slender figure,
for which there is also the long straight
front corset with short hips and high
bust.
The new full length French corset for
the stout figure is made with the lower
part of coutil, incasing the hips and so
cut as to reduce their size, the bust
high and fat or full, as desired. And
they are gorgeous ia batiste broche,
plain silk, embroidered or brocaded
Carriers, sacaets, etc, are growing
more attractive each year. Round gar
tiers are made with softly shirred satin
or Powered ribbon covering the wide
elastic, with a rather wide lace frill
falling below. The vertical garters are
fascinating trifies of Powered or plain
ribbon shirred over broad elastic and
bordered with narrow valenciennes
lace frills. Choux of chiffon form the
finish.
Chemisettes of every description are
the rage. Many are dainty and very
elaborate. They adorn shirt waists and
every kind of gown.

Cured In a Few Weeks.
An Age of Wonders J..

The most remarkable utterance, all
things considered, that has been made
since the opening of the present century
was that delivered by Prof. Bell, the in
ventor of the telephone, at a dinner given
recently. The statement was as follows:
''The age of the flying machine is not in
the future; it is here"
Prof. Bell went on TO declare that a
practical flying machine has been devel-
oped by the Wright brothers in Dayton.
Ohio. The French government has bought
their machine and Prof. Bell declares that
the fact that France has purchased flying
machine that can be used in war will COM
pei other nations to follow her example,
and that this will lead to sudden and
universal development of air ships.
II Prof. Bell is correct in this prediction
then the flying machine will before long
be as much of a plaything as the automo-
bile has become, and from that stage there
will be steady development toward a
commercial use of air ships. 1t does not
take far stretch of the Imagination to
conceive of time when the shares of all
ship companies will be traded in upon the
stock exchange.

Vegetables as Medicine.

The medicinal properties of common
vegetab les are thus set forth by writer
in the Chicago Tribune:
Lettuce for tired nerves.
Turnips, onions, cabbage, caulifiower,
water cress and horse-radish contain
sulphur.
Potato, salts OF potash.
French beans and ientils give iron.
Water cress, oil, iodine, iron, phosphate
and other salts.
Cabbage, caulifower and spinach are
beneficial to aenemic people.
Tomatoes stimulate the healthy action
of the liver.
Spinach, salts OF potassium and iron.
Food specialists rate this the most precious
of vegetables.
Parsley, mustard, cowslip, horse radish,
dock, dandelion and beet tops clear the
blood, regulate the system and remove
that tired feeling SO peculiar to spring.
