SAYS PARIS PAPER
THE JOURNAL SAYS JAPAN COULD
QUICKLY MAKE THE AMERICAN
FLEET POWERLESS.

PARIS. Dec. 21.-Discussion of the
voyage of the American fleet continues
in the French press. OF all pertaining
to the fleets departure, that which fires
most the French imagination is the OFF
hand breezy manner in which Presi-
dent Roosevelt sent the warships on
their way France expected long aud
solemn speech from President Roo5e-
welt.
His hand is held responsible for the
manoeuvre to such an extent by the
French press that it predicts his policy
will dominate the situation even should
he remain definitely clear of the Presi-
Dental election
All the Paris papers nave analyzcu
the comments received from England
and read in them much ill-humor on
the part of John Bull 1t is the French
Interpretation that England believes a
powerful fleet will be placed in the
Atlantic also. which combined with
Americas fleet now in the Pacific
would take from England the suprem-
acy of the seas
Most of the Paris papers think it
. impossible that the demonstration is
other than directed against Japan.

The Matin calls attention to the in

states that whatever disproportion is
shown by the Pacific feet it is not suf-

The Humanite says that luckily the
economic situation in Japan following

risking a conflict with the Pacific fleet

RAPID TRANSIT

SUPREME COURT HEARING AR
GUMENT IN AN IMPORTANT APP
PEAL FROM DE BOLT

In the Supreme Court, which resum-
ed work this morning after an adj
journment for the holidays, the case
of the Territory VS.. the Rapid Transit
Company is being argued by d. L..
wilmington for the appellant, the
Transit company, and e. C. Peters rep

in the name of the Territory.
This Is the suit which was Instituted

zens to prevent the changing OF the
10-minute service on that street to a
10 or Commute one. Judge De Bolt
of the Circuit Court made his tempo

Gated that the street car company was
amenable to the citizens in the mat
ter of schedules The company appeal
ed to the Supreme Court, and the mat
ter is now before it, and a decision is
being watched for with more than or
binary general interest.

DAVIS EXPLAINS.

George A. Davis, in the United
States District Court this morning
took occasion to call Judge Dole's at
tention to a misstatement in the Ad-
vertiser of Sunday which made him
say that poor man could not get jus
tice in the Territorial Supreme Court.
He said that what he had said was
that there is no law by which a poor
man may get his case before the SUI
preme Court owing to the costs involv-
ed, and cited instances in which he
had had to stand such costs out of his
own pocket in cases of poor clients OF
his, which he had carried to the high,
er tribunal

SCHWERIN
SERVICE.
PACIFIC MAIL DIRECTORS TO DE
eide IN APRIL ABOUT CONTINU-
ING THE LINE.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 25.-R. p.
Schwerin, general manager of the
Pacific Mail steamsip company, who
arrived on Monday from New York,
where he had been in conference with
e. II. Hartman, said yesterday that
the fate of tn line to the orient rested
entirely with the board of directors of
the company, which would reach a
decision before next April.
At a recent dinner in New York city
Mr.. Schwerin, being called upon to
speak, said that the service to the
orient would be discontinued owing to
the attitude of the government with
regard to rate making, and that as the
interstate commerce commission had
made a ruling that a rate to be effec-
tive had to be posted for 80 days, the
Pacific Mail was unable to compete
with its rivals, the Japanese or with
the Suez lines
When Schwerin was asked yester-
day whether he still held these opin.
ions, he maintained silence. but be.
ing requested to give information az
to the continuance of the steamer ser
vice, he replied:
"The matter is now before the board
of directors and this question will be
decided between now and April l."
Can you throw more light on the
situation?' he was asked
mo, can not It all rests with
the board. That is how the matter
stands"
Railroad and steamship men are not
inclined to believe that this service
will be discontinued They argue that
the steamer service is necessary to
the Hartman railroad system; that
the two lines are indispensable tc
each other, and that Hartman and
Schwerin are simply holding a clul
over the government.
Merchants doing business with the
orient are worried over the situation
for they fear that if the Pacific Mai
we're to go out of business no reliance
could be placed upon the Japanese
tines so far as rates were concerned
It is quite certain that the rates would
be advanced, as the Japanese would
! have no rivals.

RAILWAY WINS
THIS ROUND
ANOTHER DECISION IN SUIT
BROUGHT BY THE WAIALUA
AGRICULTURAL COMPANY.

Another step in the long litigation
of the Waialua Agricultural Company
and the Oahu Railway & Land Com
pany was taken this morning, when
the Supreme Court rendered a deci-
sion denying the plaintiffs motion to
be allowed to amend its complaint.
The suit was brought in 1905, for S15,.
1885, on an agreement for lease Of
certain lands. The circuit court gave
a judgment for $4,S99.GO and both
sides appealed, with the result that
the Judgment was set aside.
When the case came up for another
trial the plaintiff asked to be allowed
to amend the complaint by raising its
demand to S17,30116, claiming that
the Supreme court decision gave such
right The question was reserved for
the Supreme court, which now holds
that no amendment can be allowed.

BOND
A WORTHLESS ONE
SUPREME ASIDE JUDGMENT AGAINST THE BONDS
MEN OF THE EMBEzzLING CLERK OF WATER woaHs-rHE
BOND NOT woRDED AS TIGHTLY AS CmMINAL UNDER
WHICH HE CONVICTED

with Chief Justice Hartwell dis
senting, the Supreme Court this morn
ing gave a decision generating the
bondsmen Of e. vivian Richardson,
embezzliug clerk of the Water Works
The Circuit Court, which held thar the
bondsmen were liable for the money,
embezzled. is reversed.
The suit was brought by Superinten-
dent Holloway and the defendants,
aside from Richardson, were David
Kawananakoa. John T.. Colhurn. Cecil
Brown and the Henry Waterhouse
Trust Company as administrator OF
the estate of w. II. Cornwell The
opinion of the court by Justice Ballou,
shows that the criminal conviction
was sustained, because of stricter
wording of the criminal statute than
of the law requiring a bond:
There is no statute creating the
Office of clerk in the bureau of water
works nor defining his duties, but the
appointment was made in pursuance
Of an appropriation for Salary of
Clerk" under the head Department
of Public Works." and subhead "Bu-
reau of Water Works" The superin-
tendent of public works appointed
Richardson as clerk and, in accord
ance- with r. l.. Sec. 116, executed OF
him a bond, conditioned that the prin-
! cipal shall make faithful disposition
of and accounting for all moneys
| which may be paid to him, or his or
( der as such Clerk, Bureau Of Water
Works. Honolulu, and shall truly and
faithfully perform all other duties re-
quired Of him by law.
Richardson was entrusted with the
| collection of water rates and failed to
account for a considerable sum.
The rule is well established that
sureties on an official bond are liable
only for such money as is paid their
/ principal strictly in his official capa-
city Thus they are not liable for wa
ter rates collected by a superintendent
of water works, whose express author
/ ity was conferred subsequent to the
execution of the bond, either upon thC
| theory that his duties were implied
from his title or that such collection
must have been referred to i'm the IN
dertaking that he should pay over al
moneys that might come iE<0 hi
hands as such superintendent
! IF it is desired to hold sureties il
eases like these, the bond of the Off
cial should cover moneys received b,
color Of his Office as well as by law

Though 1t is equally Of bad conse-

have either good or i'll characters
which they do not deserve; yet, when
you say somewhat good of a mar
which he does not deserve, there Is
no wrong done in particular, whereas,
when you say evil of a man which
he does not deserve, here is a direct
formal injury, a real piece Of injus-
tice done him.-Joseph Butler.
