committee by the Rev. w. D. Wester.

mosphere cleared.

Dear SRA year ago, while editor
of the Illustrated outdoor News, | re-
ceived very cordial letter from you
with photographs or your annual floral
parade. 1t has occurred to me that /
might be able to place a great amount
of Hawaii matter, particularly when
accompanied by unusual photographs
coming through your hands, as ! am
in close touch with the best publica-
tions in this country, and abroad and
in an excellent position to place mat
ter of this kind, which of course would
be to your distinct advantage. / would
be pleased to have you send me any
and all matters that you can put your
hands on. l would only be too willing
to secure this publicity for you at no
additional cost to you.
May hear from you at your earliest
convenience?

NSoHliuheu from ElrSL PaEe.l
signing her to that particular work. he
having had a male bar tender for that
purpose. He said she frequently got
money from him and had an open ac-
count at a big Philadelphia department
store, bills from which he paid. Carr
said he also paid Mrs. Germans fare
to Ireland, gave her $50 pin money"
IN addition. and was pleased that she
could make the trip.
upon her retur from Ireland. Carr
said Mrs. German agreed TO accent s5
week for her services IN the house.
which money was paid her up until the
day she left the house.
On examination by Mr.. HAYES.
Carr said Mrs. German never tended
bar regularly for him.
Other witnesses for the defense were
Harry w. Mayer and Walter carr a
son Of the defendant
Mr.. Mayer. who said he was hook
keeper for the millinery firm of A. q
l. Jenny, swore that Mrs. Germans
account at the store from May. 1906 to
June 1907. amounted TO S73.3s. Walter
Carr l2-year-old boy. said Mrs. Cor
man had sent him 10 a drug store every
Saturday from early In May, 1906. until
1907 for face powder costing 81 a box.
Walter said this money was taken from
his fathers cash drawer He admitted
that he had not bought the powder
while Mrs. German was IN Ireland that
year.
Tho plaintiff then called Bernard
Carr. a brother Of Mrs. German. to the
stand in rebuttal, but before he could
testify the defense objected to his ex-
animation. Judge Cochran said the de-
fense had made Il appear that Mrs.
Germans pocketbook had always been
well lined while she WAS in Carr's en-
play and he wished to show where
much OF the money had come from.
The court thought testimony along this
line was relevant, and allowed Carr to
testify. He said he had given his sister
as much as Slt at a time and had given
her similar amounts on more than ten
occasions while she was in her uncle's
employ
Both sides then closed.
In their prayers the plaintiffs con-
tended that am expressed contract had
been shown 10 exist between Carr and
Mrs. German, and that the plainun
was. therefore. entitled 70 recover for
her services. The defense on the other
hand asked the court TO charge the jury
that as no direct contract had been
shown TO have existed between the par
tics. IL had 10 be presumed that Mrs.
Germans extra service as a bar tender
was merely a gratuity because Of her
Relationship with the defendat and
therefore could not recover.
Before the jury Mr. Hayes said the
plaintiffs figured their claim on the
basis OF $40 week during the time
Mrs. German was employed by Carr.
The total amount. he said. was $780,
from which they had deducted money
paid Mrs. German, leaving a balance
due OF Sl702SS.
The case win goo the jury this after
noon.
