OVER ONE MILLION
ASSESSMENTS FIXED

Ten judgments on income taxes of
as many sugar planting corporations
were entered in the Supreme Court
yesterday. These are cases in which
the appellate court heard evidence that
had been ruled out by the Tax Appeal
Court, so that this is an original adju-
dication of the income tax assessments
of these corporations. In the cases Of
the judgments previously reported. the
corporations had not taken the offered
opportunity of putting in evidence,
and, along with the disallowance Of
exemption for depreciation, the court
merely declared the assessments as
made by Assessor Holt affirmed with
out stating the amounts.
The assessments Of net income sub
ject to taxation fixed by the Supreme
Court, which aggregate over a million
dollars and will yield about $4,000 in
taxes, are as follows:

him as a candidate with the voters #

securing the nomination may have
been, Mr.. Cortelyou thinks that he
should have had more considerable
treatment from the man in the White
House.

Washington within a few days, visit

The presidency of a big institution
over there awaits him the moment

went to New York the way Of presi-

BETTER To HAVE
lET~H|M ALONE

BY unanimous opinion OF the SUI
preme Court. written by Justice Will
der. the judgment OF the First Circui,
Court in favor of F. r. Harris and
against Byron o. Clark is vacated. H
C. Middleditch was attorney for plain
tin. and S. b. Kingsbury for defend
ant. The law OF the case is thus
stated:
In an action OF assumpsit in order
/ 10 remove the bar of the statute OF
limitations the evidence must show,
which it does not in this case. either
an express promise or an unqualified
and direct admission OF debt which the
party is liable and willing TO pay. with
out accompanying circumstances which
repel the presumption of promise"
As related in the opinion the story of
the case contains a moral like that of
the proverb Of the bitter bitten" Be-
fore Mr.. Clark left California he was
advised by this very Mr.. Harris to take
relief from his financial reverses in the
bankruptcy law. He declined the ad-
vice, telling Harris and others of his
determination, when he got on his feet
again, 10 pay all his California obliga-
tons in full.
Mr.. Clark had hard struggle, with
other Wahiawa farmers, against vari-
Gus adverse conditions for some years
after coming here. He was getting
a So rS s,,fn Oh
when, in the summer of 1905, the local
attorney who prosecuted this case noti-
fed him that he had received the note
in question from Harris to collect.
He wrote TO Harris expressing sur
prise at his action and saying he had
been badgered and hampered by old
California creditors, who evidently did
not wish him TO get on his feet. Though
he had often thought of taking Har-
Kiss advice TO go through bankruptcy.
Harris knew he declined to do so and
had been steadfast against it. But

friends, 10 push me, now that 1 can

This letter just quoted from and let

OLD DECISION
IS C0NTR0vERTED

(From Thursdays AdVeruser)
Judge Lindsay denied the MOTION for
a new trial of Oliver Kane, convicted
of burglary in the second degree and
sentenced TO FIVE years at hard labor
The motion was based on a decision
by Justice Allen in the End Hawaiian
Reports, TO the effect that, while the
jury may find lesser offense than
that charged. the verdict must yet be
supported by the evidence.
In this ease the evidence was clear
ly of burglary in the first degree, which
is when the house breaking Is done at
night, yet the iury's verdict was for
the second degree.
Judge Lindsay in ruling Expressed
the opinion that Justice Allen was
wrong in his Interpretation of the law
Enos Vincent. counsel for defendant
by assignment, presented the motion.
As his services are voluntary in the
circumstances, it may be that he viii
not appeal from the ruling at his own
expense, however interesting it might
be to. have the point in question finally
decided.
BRASH ESTATE CONTEST.

Susan Brash. has filed exceptions to
the supplementary report of Job Bat
chelor, master, on his final accounts.
THE ALONG CASE.
Samuel Nj Damon and \. W. T. Bot
tomley, composing the firm OF Bishop
* Go. bankers, have made an answer
as respondents in the Along case Mrs
Along kept an account and her attOr-
ney in fact a special account with
them before the beginning of the suit,
but they do not know and can not
say whether any of the accounts con
sisted OF moneys or property made up
from the so-ealled trust fund. Since
the institution of the suit they loaned
Mrs. Along $4,000 on her promissory
note, secured by the deposit of certain
stocks as already reported. This loan
was required to perform her part of
the compromise made in the case, and
these defendants plead such eompro-
mise, like the other respondents who
have answered, in bar of the present
suit of Bessie r. Burns.
Judge Lindsay yesterday, on motion
of A. Perry for eight respondents, al
lowed until Monday for filing answers
in the Along case.

SCHOOL CHoRUsEs.


Much appreciated was the singing of
the school children, who. under the
leadership of Mrs. Tucker, rendered
very sweetly a number of selections
and who brought the program to its
close by singing the national anthem
and Hawaii Ponoi.
The red carnation, the favorite flow
er- of President Mckinley, was worn
extensively by the members of the
audience, while a large portrait of the
martyred executive, standing before
the speakers stand, was draped with
these crimson blossoms.
PETITIONS DANGEROUSLY SIGNED
During the progress of the program
a number of petitions were circulated
throughout the audience, calling upon
the. government to set aside the build
ing for a town hall, along the lines
suggested by the Kilohana Art League.

present affixed their signatures to the
documents. These will be presented
to Governor Frear within short time.
The Governor and Mrs. Frear were
present and after the entertainment he
was interviewed by one of the work
ers of the league, who pointed out to
him the various advantages of the
building and the practicability of the
leagues ideas. He was asked if he
would be ready to receive the petit
tions soon, stating in reply that he
would look forward to that occasion
''Dou you mean by that that we are
to feel encouraged" he was asked.
"By that l mean that you must not
feel discouraged, was his delphic re-
ply.

THE ADDRESSES.

The three addresses delivered were
devoted to pointing out the advantages
of town halls in general and, in the
final address by Judge Kingsbury, to
the advantages of the fishmarket build
ing as town hall in particular.
Rev. DR.. Scudder, spoke first on the
town halls of Greece and Rome, where
public news was discussed. affairs #
towns settled and the amusements oc-
CURED. These public gathering places
were the eenters of the civic life and
the pulse of the communities.
Enlarging on. this and speaking along
the same general lines, Bishop Restarick
spoke briefly on the modern town hall,
the market places of the Old World
and the great auditoriums and stadiums
of the New World, the benefit they
were to the people and the effect for
good they were in supplying places
where the affairs of the public could
be discussed and where amusements
and entertainments could be given.
IsImmediate town halls were dis
eussed by Judge Kingsbury, who point
ell out the necessity of some such a
place in Honolulu, where there was at
present no unity among the people and
races gathered together. In Honolulu
was everything to make city but
the one thing, unity. He referred to
