| |CUBAN.AMERICAN SUGAR
COMPANY GETS COLONIAL

Negotiations were concluded yester-
day between the American Sugar Com
pany said to be the largest producer
of raw sugars in the world, and the
Colonial Sugar Company, by which the
latter concern with its extensive prop
critics in Cuba and Louisiana, includ-
ing a modern refinery, was transferred
to the Cuban-American Company. The
deal involves approximately s2.00OO00.
OF this amount about s1,000.000 will
be given the Colonial company in
stock in the Cuban-American Com
pany. As a result of the transaction,
the capital stock of the Cuban-Amer-
lean Company, which is now sl2,00O,-
600. will be increased. 1t is also re-
ported in usually reliable quarters that
the Cuban-American Company has in
view the acquisition of further prop
critics in Cuba.
The Cuban-American Sugar Com
pany was incorporated under the laws
of New York in September, 1906. for
the purpose of taking over the capital
stock of the following companies:
Chappara Sugar Company, Tinguaro
Sugar Company Gold Cuban-American
Sugar Company, Cuba Sugar Refining
Company, Unidad Sugar Company and
Mercidita Sugar Company. The prop
critics of the company are located in

HIS HOUSE NOW
BLOCKS ROAD

The injunction proceeding, brought
by A. Hodson against William Wolters
was taken up before Judge Lindsay
yesterday continuing throughout the
day. Thompson & Clemons appear for
the complainants and w. w. Thayer
for the defendant.
In this case the complainant, who
associates his wife with him in the
complaint, alleges that Wolters has
built a house across one of the streets
in the Kapahulu Tract, the street upon
which he, the complainant, lives, thus
shutting off egress to his property. He
asks the court to enjoin WoIters from
thus squatting on the public highway
and to order him to move the build
ings as misplaced.
AS the road has not been taken over
by the Territory, the carrying out of
the injunction proceedings devolves on
the private parties interested.
This was the only matter before
Judge Lindsay yesterday and the case
will probably take two or three days
for hearing.
KOKI CASE ABOUT ENDED.
The defence in the Koki postcffice
dragging through the Federal Court
rested yesterday, after putting on two
final witnesses in the morning. These
were George Bell and William Kama
ana, to prove the ownership of a piece
of land and the realty interests held
by the defendant at Waimea.
The prosecution summoned Edwin
Paris, in rebuttal, to show that the
standing of Koki financially was not
strong. Here the prosecution rested.
The attorney for the defence, w. A.
Kinney, move that all the books and
documents filed be struck from the
records, but the motion was denied, as
was also his motion to strike out all
references to the amount of money the
defendant had on deposit in the Homo
lulu banks.
The jury was excused from attend
ance during the afternoon, when argu
ment on the instructions to be given
was had. The instructions will be read
to the jurors this morning and the
matter will be left in their hands
Yesterday all the witnesses were
paid off.
LOSES DITCH RIGHT.
In the Court of Land Registration on
Monday, Judge P. L. Weaver rendered
a decision in favor of Frederick c. Mil
Ter to title in certain Pawaa property
at the corner of Makiki and Dominis
streets. In this case the Territory had
opposed the petition and claimed a
through the lot for the
Makiki ditch, basing its claim on the
fact that the said, right-of-way had |
been used with the knowledge and ac-
quiescence of the petitioner for more |
than thirty years.
There was no other objection to the
granting of the petition.
COURT NOTES.
A petition for probate of the will of |
the late John Marks Alexandra. who |
died on June 3, was filed yesterday by |
Joseph Comes. The petition will be |
heard before Judge Lindsay on Mon
day next.
Robert Makahalupa was appointed a
District Magistrate for South Kona by
Chief Justice Hartwell on Monday. He
succeed w. ]. Yates, resigned.

Hereafter there will be no nolle
presses made on the go-it-blind prin-
ciple in the district courts. Chief JUS
tice Hartwell has prepared a letter to
be sent to the various district magis-
trates through the Attorney Generals
Department, which is self explanatory.
The letter states:
4 am instructed by the Chief JUS
tice to request district magistrates, in
every instance in which sentence of
any person convicted of a crime or
misdemeanor before them is suspended
upon the motion of the Attorney Cen
eral or his deputy or other duly-quali-

TINE EXTENSION
FOR WH|TEHOUSE
From Wednesdays Advertiser.

CFrom Wednesdays Advertiser
The long continued drought in Nuu-
anu valley is now seriously holding
hack the work Of completing the Nuu-
anu dam. so seriously that the Super
intendent OF Public Works is commenc-
ing to figure on an extension of the
time in which the contractor has been
given TO complete the big work.
If there is no rain within a very
short time we VIII certainly have to
allow whitehouse more time, an exten-
sion on the contract period said the
superintendent yesterday. That would
be only fair. We cannot expect him TO
be responsible for the lack of water
with which to commence his sluicing
operations"
As a matter Of fact there has been
no sluicing at all. Just as soon as the
four pumps were installed and the
pipes laid up the side of the gulch to
the sluicing ground. the water supply
failed. There was just enough in the
temporary reservoir at the time to test
was in good working order, SO good in
fact that it was found that three
pumps would do all the necessary
work, leaving one of them always in
readiness to start up in case of
breakdown Of any one of the other
three.
Much is dependent on the water sup
ply for these pumps. The work Of
filling in the whole back of the dam,
the long slope. has been left to sluic-
ing. one Of the big storms which came
in quick succession last spring and
damaged the work and delayed it,
would be a great thing now, when ev-
erything is in readiness to cope with
the biggest flow of water that might
come down. IF we could have had one
of those storms when the pumps were
ready we would have had twenty thou
sands yards of fill in by this time,
says the superintendent. Just look up
Nuuanu valley now. Wouldn't that
make You mad? From the look of the
clouds Up there you would think it was
raining. but il is only making foolish
ness as the Hawaiians call it,
SCHUYLER PLEASED.
j. u schuyler, Ine engineering SA-
pert, who visited the reservoir site a
short time ago for the third time, has
written to Mr.. Campbell, expressing
his approval of the way the work is
going on under his plans. The letter
was written while aboard the Manchu-
ria en- route from Honolulu 10 the
Coast. The expert said, in part:
I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to
the dam and was greatly pleased to
see the decided improvement made in
the general appearance of things, and
the ousiness-like aspect which the
works are now wearing"
WILL LAY OFF THE MEN.
At the present time the contractor, L.
NJ. Whitehouse, has about seventy men
at the dam. but unless weather condi-
tions are more favorable for a prosecu-
ton Of the work by the end of the
week he Will lay off half this number,
employing the rest in the quarries.
There is considerable work yet II do
around the spillway, but he wants to
keep this for spare periods during the
sluicing.

HOW FLORIDA
STOOD TEST

OLD POINT COMFORT CVa.), May
27.-The biggest naval gun, the heavi-
est projectile and the highest explosive
known, combined with close range and
deadly aim, were today allowed TO
work their full havoc on the turret
plate of the monitor Florida. The re-
suit is declared to be a victory for
turret construction, and this notwith-
standing the eleven-inch hardened steel
plate was blackened. broken, the seams
of the turret sprung and the rivets
and screws loosened and twisted.
1t was not five minutes after the ter
fible impact that the finely balanced
mechanism of the turret was being
worked with perfect ease, and the
twelve-inch gun on the left side was
trained at will. Inside the turret where
stand the gunners and gun crew the
havoc was mucn less apparent than
from the outside. Examination show
ed that of the many delicately adjusted
instruments for fire control, sighting
and operating the turret, few if any
were out of working order.
IF this had happened in battle the
Florida would be fighting yet" said
one of the ear-Admirals, with enthu-
siasm
