NJ CANDLES FILES
HIS PLEA IN BAR

In the suit of the Dowsett Company
Ltd. VS.. L. L. McCandless to quiet title
the defendant has filed a plea in bar
setting up that the title to the land

with the ejectment proceeding of L. L.
McCandless VS.. Honolulu Plantation
Company and Woodlawn Fruit Com
pany. The defendants in that case, it
is alleged, were the tenants of the Dow
sett Company and served formal notice

THE MAYORALTY
CONTEST CASE
Demurrer Argued in Supreme
Court Yesterday
Forenoon.

The defendant s demurrer in the
mayoralty contest was argued at length
yesterday morning before the Supreme
Court with Judge De Bolt sitting in the
place of Justice Ballou, who is absent
from the Territory. In taking up the
case the Court entered a rule appli-
cable to all election contests, and dur
ing the hearing another one applica BILE
to this case. These two rules are as
follows:
"A rule of court will be made that
in election contests the court will set
the case for hearing upon the defend
ant s filing his demurrer, plea or an
swer, which he win be at liberty to do
at any time before the return day; that
no replication or rejoinder in demurrer
will be filed.
''It is ordered upon the court IS mo-
ton that the plaintiff s affidavits be
struck from the files, together with the
defendant motion to strike them off
and the plaintiff joinder in demurrer
and motion to set the case for hear
ing"
E. NJ Watson and w. W.fThayer APP
peared for Mayor-elect Fern, and
George A Davis and A. G. NJ. Robert
son appeared for the petitioners Ku-
like and others.
One of the two principal points in
volved in the demurrer was what
the provision of the statute that thirty
qualified electors of any election dis
trict" might begin contest means
that is, what is the meaning of the
words "any election district The
Importance of the question lies in the
fact that of the thirty-six petitioners
twelve are from the Fourth Represe,l-
tative District and twenty-four are from
the Fifth, but the recount asked for is
only of certain precincts, one in he
Fourth District and the others in the
Fifth, and there are not thirty voters
from any one election precinct. Davis
contended that as the senatorial lis
trict was coterminOus with the city and
county that it is the district meant by
the law in this ease.
The other point is that the petition
only claims that PISS votes were legally
cast for Lane, while the election re-
turns give Fern 1920.

At 10 clock this morning the court
will take up the auditor contest from

Title Quoted.
Judge De Bolt has given judgment in
the action to quiet title brought by
Gustave Rose and Helene Kruger
against Rosina Rose, Bertha Rumbel
and Maud Kaikilani Chapman. The
land in question is on Adams Lane.
The court finds that the plaintiffs are
each entitled to an undivided one-third
of the property and that one of the
Maud Kaikilani Chapman
is entitled to the other undivided one
third, and that the other two defend
ants have no right, title or interest in
the property. Judgment is given ac-
eordingly.

a. TEMPERANCE UNION. !.

Members Limited to Fourteen Drinks
of Liquor Daily.
Signing the pledge. is no new thing.
as is proved by researches in Italy.
Interesting particulars Of what would
appear to be the earliest examples OF
written pledges to abstain from gam
bling and excessive drinking are given
In the Turin Studi MEDIEVAL by Signor
Girolamo Biscaro, who has discovered
three such documents in the archives
l0f Milan. The first of these records i,
an oath sworn on the gospels by Gia-
como Pasquali and Armanino Duca
to the effect that for two years they
will abstain from gambling in Pavia
| or within three miles thereof and will
likewise refrain from inducing others
10 gamble on their behalf The penal
ty for any breach of this oath is fixed
lat 5 soldi, payable to 5Papio Boyatorio.
In the second document Perano de
Bono promises Uberto de Proto to
abstain from gambling for certain
period, exception being made on be-
half Of the game of bismentiro, at
which, however, he was not to lose
more than 2 denari on any one day
/ Further. he undertakes not to visit
lany Inn for drinking purposes before
the hour Of vespers on Monday. A
breach Of either clause of the pledge
involves the payment Of s soldi to De
4 Proto. By the third document Sileto
IFerrariO expressed his willingness to
lpay ~ denari to his brother Lamperio
lshould he be persuaded to play for
money In any place Of public resort or
to spend more than 2 denari on intoxi-
cants In any one day.
The motive for these contracts is not
istated, but it is presumed that they
were entered into by employees whose
masters wished to keep their prociiyi-
ties In check. There Is nothing In the
documents to suggest the existence Of
1any organization for the promotion of
Temperance. The honor Of being first
In the field in this respect therefore
lstill rests with Germany. where two
Temperance societies were founded In
the sixteenth century. .a:
Il OF these the Order OF st. Christie.
pher was formed by Sigismund de
j Diettrichstein on Jan 10, 1917. and the
i Order of Temperance by the landgrave
Iof Hesse on Dec Is, 1900. The mem.
bers Of the one order were pledged to
abstain from toast drinking, and the
/ members of the other undertook not
to drink more than seven glasses OF

fed by the manner in which the
American people elect their:

were to tell the average experienced
voter that he has never legally and

The fact that candidate for. the
presidency Is named at national con-
Vention and that his name Is placed at
the top of the ballot on election day
has no relation whatever to the CON
stitutional provisions regulating the
mode Of choosing a president. The
name Of the president or vice presi-
dent would be left of the ballot IL the
actual intention Of the trainers OF the
constitution were followed, and in
spite Of the s'unwritten law which
has developed the placing Of the ma

The Dressmaker's Lure That Ensnared
5s5 ~ the Americans.

The Dressmaker's Lure That Ensnared
the Americans.
Grace Margaret Gould tells in the
September Woman's Home Companion
some Of the ways the Partisan dress
making establishments sell their goods
to American women. Here Is one ruse
that she saw worked in one of the big
.gest establishments in Paris:
There was sudden and evident
commotion among the employees.
"The princess! The princess! She
has arrived" they cried.
American eyes began to bulge.
Out from a magnificent equipage
stepped regally gowned grand lady,
attended by footmen and maid and re-
ceived by the whole bowling estab-
lishment. to the neglect Of all other
customers She was In gracious
mood this day and easy to be pleased,
praising their past efforts and select
ing several of their new creations with
out regard to cost After she had
made her departure amid like cere-
monies there was no need Of the sales
woman bothering her head over sug-
gestions Every American woman
present wanted gown copied from
the one the princess had bought, and
she got 1t after much pleading and at
price far beyond the limit she had
set.
And the point of this fable Is this:
The princess was no princess. but an
employee Of the house.
Every French, gown has two prices
an American price and French price.
1t Is needless to say which Is the
greater price. &c., ~. .....<
Along about April the cry goes up,
'The Americans are comingp' and then
the prices go up too.
Along about November, when the
Americans have left, you might almost
say they are giving away gowns, only
the Frenchman never does give away
anything. Then it is that the French
woman In general and the French
actress in particular selects her ward
robe.
