"All hands on deck, up sail!' This
order was given on the Hawaii a few
seconds after one thirty this afternoon
by Sailing Master Alex. Lyle, and all
hands jumped for the halliards. Up
went the foretopmast staysail, iib, fore
and mainsail with yachtlike precision
and as the wind which was blowing
fresh from the nor'east filled the sails,
the trim little racer gathered neadway
and the trial trip of the cup aspirant
was on.
Slowly at first the white craft headed
out of the waters of Honolulu harDor
to the blue sea beyond About one
forty-five the yacht was abeam of the
Myrtle Boat house with clews fapping,
as the house seemed to keep off the
fresh trades which were blowing. Just
after two the spar buoy was abeam on
the port side, and the course set S. S.
e. AS the wind freshened the speedy
Hawaii gathered more headway, and
from ashore it looked as if she was
heeling over to a good stiff breeze.
The bell buoywas passed and before
two thirty she was abeam of the Mo-
ana Hotel, still holding to the south
east, with her sheets taut.
None of the committee were on
board, and in fact both Cooper and
Mclnerny said that they did not have
any idea that a trip was contemplate
ed. Cooper first hearing of the trip
from representative of The Star.
She will make another trip on Satur-
day with the Press as guests.
The members of the committee do
not appear at all pleased by the ac-
ton of Commodore Lyle in taking the
vessel out without permission, or even
making any request She has not yet
been turned over to the Transpacific
committee and should any accident oc-
cur there would be badly mixed up
state of affairs.
The Gladys, Captain Beckert in COM
mand, has followed the Hawaii out
and will give her a short rub as she
comes in.

DECISION ENRICHES
HAWAII $4,000
SUPREME COURT DECLARES THAT DELINQUENT SEWER
MUST BE PAID-oPNIoN SUPPORTS THE DEPARTMENT OF
PUBLIC WORKS IN IT'S SUIT AGAINST CAMPBELL. Es-
TATE-JUsTICE HARTwEIL WRITES OPINION.

The Supreme Court handed down a
decision this morning which will en-
rich the Territory by about $4,000.
The decision WHICH N,tJ the mnani-
nous opinion of all three members of
the Supreme Bench, holds that "An
agreement with the superintendent of
public works to pay such rates an
nually for the use of the sewer as
may be fixed is enforceable"
The case which brought forth this
decision is that of the Territory VS.
the Campbell Estate, to recover the
sum of $133.50 and interest charged
for the use of the public sewer on
Queen street. The case was brought
up in the District Court and de-
mUrer of the defendants. on the
grounds that the complaint did not
show the authority of the predeces-
sor to assess the rates or his legal
capacity to sue; that the court had
no jurisdiction of the subject mat
ter and that the complaint did not
state cause Of action, was sustain
ed on January 20, 1908.
In the opinion of the court, which
is written by Chief Justice A. S. Hart
well, the following paragraph ex-
presses the main feature of the rea-
son for the decision:
y although the superintendent had
no express authority to require pay
ment for the use of the sewer, yet in
the opinion of a majority of the court
his acceptance of a promise to pay
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1908-04-30

for its use was within the general
scope of his duties as in the gen
eral supervision, charge and control
over public highways and superinten-
dence and management of the inter
nal improvements of the Territory,
when taken in connection with the
authority of the acts appropriating
money for the construction of the
sewer under his direction. In this
view the agreement was not illegal"
Again the court says:
The agreement is enforceable by
the superintendent and therefore
there is no occasion to consider the
rule which under certain limitations,
estops one who has accepted the ben
eft of an agreement from pleading
it's illegality. This ruling allows the
plaintiff to declare, as it has done,
upon the agreement, and does not
allow claim to be made for a rea-
sonable sum in return for the use
of the sewer"
Up to January ] of the present year
there were $51, ,S55S2 in delinquent
sewer rates on the books of the de-
partment of Public Works A small
part of this has been paid up since
that time. The total expenditure for
sewer purposes in this city from the
loan fund has been $S12,92533 and
the receipts have amounted to $780,
300. Up to this time there have been
over 1000 connections made with the
local sewer system

Honolulu, April 80, 19OS.-
Chairman and Members of the Ha-
waii Promotion Committee.
Gentlemen:-I am pleased to be
able to report that we are now fairly
well settled in our new quarters and
that the regular work of the Com
mittee is going along smoothly.
Mr.. Cooper is pushing the News
Bureau Service, finding time, as well,
to meet all steamers and place copies
of our Guide to Honolulu in the
hands of every passenger.
AS a direct result of the interest
ing write-ups of Hawaii, from the
pen of Miss Carrie Thomas, appear
ing recently in prominent Southern
journals, we are getting numerous
inquiries from people who have lived
in Florida and who are anxious to
know more of Hawaii. One gentle
mon in his letter says: 'I have been
in fruit raising most of my life, have
retired from active work and bust
ness with moderate means and am
desirous of spending my life in a
milder climate. I tried Florida sew
eral years but found the winters dis
agreeable and the land extremely
poor. What l want is a small place
in the country where l can build and
make a good comfortable home"
In this connection it might be said
that from our correspondence 1t is
very evident that more and more
people are looking to Hawaii as a
place for homes, not simply as a tour
ist resort, sentiment that we are
doing our utmost to encourage.
BY last mail we received letters
from the u. S. consular agencies at
Durham, Natal and Cape Town, South
Africa, saying that our pamphlets had
been received and placed on file. In
every instance where possible the at
tention of the local press has been
called to the matter thus sent, re-
sulting in our securing desirable
write-ups in every part of the world
where the United States Government
has a consular agent.
The Secretary of the State Text
Book Committee for California writes
acknowledging the receipt of sundry
photographs which he says will ap-
pear in the new edition of their Geo
graphy to be issued within a few
weeks.

chambers of commerce, boards of

BAD INTENT

The Star is requested to copy the fol-
lowing communication:
Mr.. Walter G. Smith,
Editor of Advertise.
Dear Sir! We the undersigned are a
committee appointed to a meeting of
many Koreans assembled last evening
to order to write you and to inform
you that the Press has misunderstood
our action in the Bishop Harris.
There was no intention whatever to
injure the good Bishop in any way.
We sent a cable to San Francisco to
find out what Bishop Harris had talk
ed ON twenty-fifth Advertise Paper OF
this month. 1t is far and beyond OF
our mind to. plot against the life of
such a good as Bishop Harris who is
so deeply interested in our country.
The Koreans are watching Rev.
Wadman as a good friend and faithful
brother not in any other circumstance,
any other meaning is too foolish for
us to think about it.
Yours respectfully,
