official business.
According to Mcbride, patriotic peo-
pie of Honolulu have already started to
collect an entertainment fund and to
make preparations for the fleets COM

Judge Dooling listened coolly, over
ruling Ach's objections
When the jury was brought in again
Green's cross examination was begun
by Ach. The questions of huef's at
torney were directed TO proving that
the Parkside enterprise had been en-
tered into as a speculation by its
promoters. Ach brought out from
Green that he had at one time offered
a bonus OF 100000 for the building OF
railroad to the Parkside property and
that no one could be found TO take It.
GREEN'S answers TO Achs questions
were as free and painstaking as those
he gave TO Heney.
Green said Umbsen's connection with
the Parkside company lad been a con-
tract by which he was to receive a
commission on all property he sold.
TAKEN to another point by Ach, Green
testified as to the trip on which he had
gone with the supervisors TO the Park

Green in response to Heney's queries.

What were the terms of the fee to

Umbsen.
Later I met Ruef myself at Umb-

Umbsen were also present. At lunch
con we discussed among ourselves the
franchise, Ruef contending that there
would be considerable opposition to the
granting of the permit in Nineteenth

to persuade the supervisors to grant
the franchise at all, they having. been
elected on the union labor ticket. which
had a municipal ownership plank. Dur

Ruef together. Shortly afterward
