PLANS ARE
NOT HERE
SEATTLE EXPOSITION AGENT HAS
NOTHING TO BASE HIS WORK
oN-EVERYTHING DELAYED.

While there has been a good deal
of talk about this and that being done
in connection with the exhibit which
Hawaii will have at the Seattle Alas
ka-Yukon exposition, it appears that
the affair is quite at a standstill. No
one in the Territory has apparently the
slightest idea of even what space will
be allowed the Territory, let alone
what will be done with it.
Il is understood that the plans have
been drawn for the building, that even
the contract has been let but no one In
Hawaii has the faintest idea of how
much room will be allowed for the To-
cal exhibition and therefore no plans
can be made. Special Agent Childs
is working hard, it is said, but what
is being done, when it is uncertain
whether there will be room enough for
the exhibits or not, is hard to see. The
exposition is supposed to open on the
first day of next June, but it is evil
dent at the present time that Hawaii
will be little late in having things
ready for the public gaze.
Another matter that is a source Of
worry to the members of the com
mission appointed to handle the mat
ter in this Territory, is the fact that
the knowledge of how these things are
to be shipped to Seattle seems to be
hard to get 1t is hoped that one of
the army transports may take he
freight up, free of cost, but this is not
by any means certain. If the freight
money comes out of the appropriations
by the Legislature and by Congress It
will mean that other things will have
to be cut down
Some of the members of the Legis-
lature are rather against doing much
for the exposition, or if it is done, be-
Iieve that the money should come from
the appropriation for the Hawaii Pro-
motion Committee, which is handling
the entire affair. 1t is doubtful IF
both will get large appropriations.

MORE HARBOR WORK
BEING TALKED OF

The dredgers are now cleaning up
in the harbor widening work and the
completion of the building-up of Sand
Island.
BY the end of this month the putting
of the digging and piling machines all
day and all night, except Sundays, will
be at an end and also, the new light
house will be taking on the appearance
of completion.
Early in December the lighthouse
tender Kukui is expected and before

DIVORCE laws May
NEED CHANGING
MATTER MAY BE SUBJECT OF IMPORTANCE CHIEF
JUSTICE HARTWELL TO LEGISLATURE DIVORCES
BERED HUNDRED AGAINST SEVENTY FOR TWO
PREVIOUS YEARs-Is CHANGE NEEDED

While Chief Justice Hartwell has
not yet signified in any manner that
he will take up the divorce question
as it appears in this Territory in his
report to the Legislature, the figures
which the statistical portion of the
report will show probably mean that
he will take some such step. The
manner in which the number of di-
vorces here has increased is so as
tonishing as to call for at least a
most careful examination to see whe-
ther an abuse exists, and if it does,
what steps can be taken to remedy it.
The report of Chief Justice Hartwell
for the two years of 1905 and 1906
show that the courts of the Territory
in this city granted seventy divorces
in that period. In a most striking
contrast to this the report made to
Governor Frear for the single year o
1907 shows that 2O4 divorces were

The opinion and decision of the Su-
preme Court in the case of Carl Wald-
eyer VS.. the Wailuku Sugar Company
was placed on file today. The case
is one which was taken to the Supreme
Court on a bill of exceptions alleging
an abuse of discretion when Judge
Kepoikai refused to grant a continu-
ance to the defendant when asked.
The Maui jurist was sustained by the
Court. The full text of the decision
follows:

CIRCUIT JUDGE DE BOLT IN
PLACE OF BALLOU, ].
Continuance-abuse of discretion.
An order denying motion for a
continuance will not be reversed un-
less, as does not appear in this case,
an abuse of discretion is shown.
STATEMENT OF THE CASE.
The plaintiff brought his action to
recover damages for several breaches
or violations of the terms of two rep
arate tunnel contracts made with him
by the defendant, the sum of S24,975
being demanded as damages for cer-
tain alleged violations of the terms OF
the contract of February Is, 1905, and
the sum of $10,404.S6 for certain al
legged wrongful acts of the defendant
in relation to the contract of March
1, 1905. The defendants motion for
d continuance on the ground of the
absence of material witnesses being
denied the defendant excepted to the
ruling and was allowed an interlocu-
tory bill of exceptions. The motion
was supported by the affidavits of C..
company until October 81, that he had
B. Wells, manager of the defendant
full control and charge of the transac-
tions between the defendant and the
plaintiff, and that he had not prepared
to meet litigation out * the first con-
tract because he understood that the
second settled all claims under the
first contract, and that he was sur
prised by a letter from the plaintiff
about the close of August presenting
an enormous claim for damages
against the defendant for breach OF
the contract, which letter was imme-
diately placed in the hands of Messrs.
Kinney & Marx, whose senior member,
W. A. Kinney, had represented the de-
fendant in all matters concerning the
contracts, authorizing the firm to take
all necessary steps to meet the claim,
although no suit was then brought.
and it was uncertain when it might
be brought; that he notified the defen-
dant's present manager, Penhallow,
then assistant manager, on vacation
at the coast, to hunt up witnesses on
the coast who were in Wailuku when
the first contract was being carries
out and had worked upon 1t under the
plaintiff, and also to meet Kinney on
the coast, where he was then due to
arrive shortly and get his assistance
in carrying out the instructions; that
a number of witnesses known to him
whose evidence was material and ne
cessary for the defense were as yet
not located, although strenuous efforts

Hartwell on this subject will be receiv-

able to see the actual working of the
statutes in this regard from both the
legal and practical point of view. His
long residence in the Territory, as
well as his extended service on the
bench will tend to make anything
which he says on this subject of i'm

among other things, that the plaintiff
was wholly incompetent and unable to

in default when the plaintiff and his
bondsmen called in Halverson to per-
form the contract for them; that when
he took charge all the men had de-

he had fraudulently and unfairly ap-

defendant to pay the men, which he
had failed to do, and moreover that
