v. \. SMITH
FORECL.OSES
On Land That Figured
in KamaIo Sugar
Co. Case.

William H. Smith has brought a bill
| to foreclose mortgage against Law
Nellie E. Hustace. The amount claim
| ed is ten thousand six hundred and
eighty and 15-100 dollars CSC, 6s0.15)
with interest at per cent. per annun
from June %, 1904.
1t is prayed in the petition that a
conveyance by Frank Hustace to w
H. Smith made September g. 1902, be
| decreed to be a mortgage. This in
strument Conveyed land on the north
consideration of one dollar. On Janu-
airy 8, 1903, Dee became purchaser of
the same land at a sale under execu-
ton on judgment for s39,7S1.S1 against
Hustace and others in the famous Ka-
malo Sugar Co. case.
Dee under such title brought suit
against Smith for the land, charging
that the deed from Hustace to Smith
was void as having been made to
hinder, delay and defraud the cred
itors of Hustace. Judge Gear, who
tried the case, dismissed the compla int
and adjudged that the Hustace-Smith
deed was bona f1de and upon a val
liable consideration, and intended by
both parties thereto to be lien upon
$4,000 by Smith to Hustace.
1t is stated in the present bill that
the deed was executed and delivered
with the distinct understanding and
agreement on the part of Smith and
Hustace that Smith would upon the
repayment of said loan at the maturity
thereof, together with the interest
thereon, reconvey said real estate to
said Hustace''
1t is also set forth that an Septem-
Der s, 1902, Smith paid to the executors
of the Louisson estate ten thousand
dollars in satisfaction of the indebted
ness of Hustace to them, whereupon
they endorsed Hustace's note to them
lin blank and without recourse and
delivered it to Smith together with the
collateral security of 100 shares Oahu
Sugar Co. and 40e shares Ookala Sugar
Plantation Co. The Ookala shares
We're sold by Smith for S742.50 net,
which was deducted from the total
amount of the sum due on the Louis
son debt lifted by Smith, leaving $780,
6S0.15 as the lien chargeable on the land
in question. The Oahu Sugar Co.
stock was surrendered by Smith to
Hustace on December 1, 1902
Judge Gears decree had the addi-
tional order to what has been men
toned, that respondent (Smith) exc
cute and deliver to said complainant
Oee) an apt and proper instrument
satisfying and extinguishing his said
mortgage and lien, upon the payment
to him by said complainant of said
sum of ten thousand six hundred and
eighty and 15-1OO dollars ($1O6S0.15).
with interest thereon from the 23rd
day of June. A. d. 1904, at the rate of
eight per cent. per annum."
Smiths loan to Hustace matured in
six months.
Dee, it should be said, appealed to
the Supreme Court, which affirmed the
decree.

TAX APPEAL
DECISIONS
Rapid Transit Company
Loses Its Two
Cases.

An adverse decision has been sus-
tanned by Honolulu Rapid Transit &
Land Co. on its appeal from Tax AS
SCISSOR Holt to the Tax Appeal Court
of the First Division, consisting of T.
F. Lansing, ]. F. Brown and Willard
E. Brown.
On the company's property tax re-
turn of S744,041.77 the assessor raised
the assessment to s1,S31 600, assessing
the capital stock on the basis of the
Pinkham Act of 1905, which made the
bond issue capital. This was knocked
out by the court, which made the as
sessment $780, 900 on the following
basis:
Return Observation-Disclosures 744.041.7
Add to Beretania-Alapai
property OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. 7,1410C
Add to track, roadbed and
overhead structure ........ 109. 100000
Franchise SOC, 100000
Total ................-.$1. 360, 41317
This is not the first time the franchise
has been assessed, though the first
time it's assessment has been resisted.
Taxes were paid on the franchise last
year at valuation approximating half
a million. 1t was not returned this year
and on the hearing Manager Ballentyne
testified that he regarded the franchise
as having no monetary value.
INCOME TAX CASES.
Another decision was rendered
against the Rapid Transit Co. on it's
appeal from the assessors refusal to
allow it to charge $40, s35.43 against it's
income on account of depreciation in
property. The claim is disallowed, the
assessment of $29, 409.5S being sustained.
Jas. B. Castles appeal on income tax
assessment was dismissed by the
court. He claimed that the prof
it he had made by selling, since July
1, 1905. for $4,000 stocks purchased in
1898 for approximately 5000, 900 was not
taxable. The court finds, quoting the
language of the statute, that the profit
in question is clearly taxable as gain
profit and income derived from any
source Whatsoever during the taxation
period.
These decisions compete this years
work of the Tax Appeal Court.

DIR. w. III. Randall tells us OF
an interesting conversation that
he had with his aunt while on his
recent visit to Troy. She related
some of the experiences OF her ear
lv life in Sullivan county. lie
maiden name was Lucy Ayers and
when a child lived with her parents
at Eagles Mere, where her father
was employed to cut wood for the
glass factory then in operation at
that place, and when he found that
he was cheated out of his pay for
the work he had done, he decided
to leave for other quarters and
made preparations accordingly.
When the morning came for their
departure, the family mounted on
the household goods in large
wagon started in the direction of
Laporte. and over road that had
not been used in twelve years.
They were obliged to cut trees and
brush out of the road as they trav-
eled, and at the end Of their first
days journey they had got as far
as Laporte and camped on the spot
where the Court House now stands
but ut that time was only II Wild
erness. At the end of their second
days journey they had reached
what is now Dnshore, which then
boasted one country Inn. Their
third days travel took them as far
as Monroeton, where they remain
ell for some time. The doctor says
his aunt. who is now ~ years of
age, vividly recalls every incident
of this journey which took place
when she was eleven years of age.

From a semi-official source it is
learned that the committee repre-
senting the United Mine Worker will
go before the operators in New
York. to day with the olive branch
in their hands. At the meeting of
the committee in Wilkes Barre last
week President Mitchell counseled
moderation and the admonition met
With the approval of the committee.
The representatives of the miners will
not make a single demand. They
will ask the operators what they
have To offer, and will add as Il cor
allary to this request that they are
willing and anxious to bring about
a renewal of Il new wage scale with
out resorting to violent measures. 1t
can be said positively that the min
ers' representatives will not insist
upon an eight hour day or specific re-
cOgnition of the union.

\ report from HaZleton makes one
wonder as to the nature of the bev-
erages dispensed at that place. 1t is
to the effect that Il citizen of foreign
extraction, while passing along the
street, and somew hat under the in.
tiuence of stinulants, mistook for a
real woman an automaton femal fig
ure advertising IL catarrh cure i'm a
drug store window. Imagining the
pretty female directing her attention
to him, the citizen mentioned Great
ed quite an amusing scene by repeat
edly bowing and raising his hat in
the most ChestertieIdian style. This
interesting pantonline continued for
s1me time to the great amusement
of II crowd of spectators, until finally
the man discovered his mistake, and
muttering cuss words, hastily hur-
ried from the spot.

Changes supposed TO portend
something very important are being
made on the Susquehanna and New
York railroad. When the old Bar
clay railroad was extended TO Laquin
Ellenton and Ralston, all the fill of
any size were done with piling, and
streams We're crossed in the same
way. Now to reduce the heavy
grades between Eilenton and Gran
dalItown, a distance of eight miles,
an entirely new line is being built
on the opposite side of the creek.
This line will be three miles longer
than the old route, but the grade
will be brought down to one per cent
and all fills and stream crossings
will be of the substantial character.
The railroad as "a timber road will
be of small account in a few years
and the permanency of the present
work indicates that the road may be-
come a part of some big cross country
system.

DR.. TORY, the world renowned
Evangelist had the following to say
at his meetings in Philadelphia last
week in regard to card playing:
| know and YOU know the deck OF
cards is the gamblers tool. In many
homes, people to keep their sons
and daughters in the house, will
teach them cards. Thus many a
home is the kindergarten to the
gambling hell. If preachers, sun
day School teachers and Christian
parents would more frequently eN-
plain to the young the evils that
grow out from these so-called kinder
gardens, in ten years from now there
would be no need Of closing up gam
bling dens, for they would have to
90 out of business for want of pat
rOns.'
