MAUI IS TORN
With DISSENS|ON
Case-C Row
Has Extended To
Maui News

According to the reports that come
from people OF Maui occasionally in
town, the row in political circles that
started with the fight against Kepoi-
kai Is one of the most deep-seated
and bitter that has been known on
Maui for many years.
The lineup as II appears to people
on the outside Is II. p. Baldwin, who
is steadfastly backing Kepoikai and
those allied with him, against Dan
Case and Hugh NJ. Coke of the Maui
News. These are the headliners Of
the scrimmage. Who Is on the one
side and who is on the other, is in
formation to be discovered as one goes
along. Some are on both sides, look
ing to see which one will win, SO as
to join the band-wagon at the right
time.
Ever since he expressed himself so
strongly against one-man rule at the
Waikiki precinct meeting. c. b.
Wells is generally credited with be-
ing very large factor in the situa-
ton and vigorous hacker of Case
and Coke on general principles.
The latest thing to come to town
since the charges were filled against
Kepoikai is the alleged effort of Mr..
Baldwin and some OF his followers to
"muzzle" Editor Coke of the News.
That is the way the Coke men speak
of It, The other side has not been
heard.
1t is claimed that Coke in his edi-
torial utterances has said things po-
litical that very much displeased
what is known as the Baldwin inter-
est. Consequently a meeting of the
directors was asked. Some Of the
Case Coke crowd got wind of what
was on, and delayed the meeting as
long as possible. Finally 1t was
called and OF the seven directors six
were present. Someone forgot to
notify Mr.. Henning of Lahaina.
Those said to be present were Case,
Lufkin. Waldeyer, Baldwin. the man
WIN iuuo tue pouo woihs' anu duOth-
err.
A resolution was introduced to the
effect that no editorial utterances
should appear In the paper that were
disapproved by any member Of the
Board OF Directors. One proposition
was that all political comment should
be submitted to committee OF three
or selected representative Of the d.
rectors before 1t was printed. 3d..
The discussion was long but the
whole proposition fell through be-
cause the vote stood three to three.
This meeting, of course, put the
fat of talk In the fire, and the war
clarions have been echoing In Homo
lulu and supposedly in Maui.
1t was stated the other day that a
request for special meeting of the
stockholders of the News had been
made. Whether there is to be gen
eral buying-up scrimmage with the
object of upholding Coke on the one
side and kicking him out on the 9th.
er, remains to be seen.
The Case-Coke crowd claim they
are ready to buy up all the stock Of
the dissatisfied ones. but as the ISSUE
is political one there Is no telling
whether they can get It.
The outsiders are Of the opinion
that the best thing that can be dom
. by all hands is to patch 1t up ant
quit the fight.

REASON FOR THE TRUST
1t Is Set Forth by ArchboId on the
Witness Stand.

New York, Nov. 30.-Resuming his
testimony today in the governments
suit to dissolve the Standard Oil COM
pany, John D. Archbold, vice president
of the company, was questioned about
the Villas, Keith and Chester agree
ment of 1879. Mr.. ArchboId told of
the signers of the agreement and of
the property held by certain indi-
viduals for the benefit of the stock
holders of the Standard. All proper
ties obtained were held by the trus-
made. Mr.. Archbold said the agree
ment was made as a simple method of
holding property in the interest of a
common ownership Mr.. Archbold
told of the trust agreement of 1882,
and said that all the shareholders of
the Standard and the benefciaries of
the Villas Keith and Chester agree
ment signed the agreement. Mr.. Arch
bold said that twenty trust certificates
were issued for each single share of
standard Oil company stock
1.-The capital stock of the Standard
was $350O,000,'' said Mr.. Archboid,
"but the plants and property were
valued at $7O.000.000."
Mr.. Archbold described in detail the
inventory of the Standards plants.
property and all assets at the time of
the agreement. All plants, generally
speaking, after 1875, said Mr.. Arch
bold, were acquired Tor cash. he then
gave the reason for the formation of
the Standard Oil trust, saying:
cit was done as a simple and effec-
tive form of holding the property.
We were advised by counsel that
neither the Standard Oil company of
Ohio nor any other corporation could
effectually or safely, perhaps, hold the
property, which was widespread in
many states whose laws were restric-
tive of the rights of corporations. The
trusteeship was suggested as a simple
method of bringing together the prop
erty and forming token of ownership
which would have a market value and

GIVES UP THE FIGHT.
Lafayette Trust Company Fails to
Open Its Doors.

New York. Nov. 3O.--The Lafayette Trust
company reorganization of the Jenkins
Trust company of Brooklyn, which went
down in the financial panic of a year ago,
did not open for business today. Instead
there appeared On the doors of the bank a
brief formal statement confirming an
announcement made last night to the
effect that the officers of the institution
had decided to give up the struggle and
permit the institution to go into liquidation.
Failure to obtain an increase of capital,
which the officers maintained was essen
ttal to continuance of the bank, was as
signed a reason for the action. 1t was
said that the installment payments to de-
DoSitOrS in the Jenkins Trust company
which were provided for by the reorganiz-
alton plan had proven too severe a drain
on the resources of the company and also
that the new officers had been embarras-
sed in their efforts to obtain new capital
by memories of the former management
John G. jenkins, ir., who was president
of the jenkins Trust company, now is on
trial in Brooklyn on a charge of grand
larceny growing out of some of his acts
while he occupied that position
The decision to close the Lafayette Trust
company was reached last night after a
conference between officers of the institu-
lions and a number of Brooklyn bank
presidents. In accordance with a request
made at that time the superintendent of
the bank took charge of the trust COM
pany today. An officer of the bank said
depositors will receive 100 cents on the
dollar

change without getting permission. On
Nov. T9, the city officials cut the
wires, cut down the poles, and de-
stroyed the company's property to the
extent Of about $500. The company
at once went into the probate court,
in the absence offethe district judge,
and got temporary restraining or
der to keep the civ from interfering
with its business, and then proceeded
to rebuild it's lines placing it's poles
wholly on privatedt property. When
Judge Dillon of the district court took
up the probate court case, he declined
to sustain the action of the probate
judge. and denied the company's APP
plicatfon for an injunction. Instead
he issued a writ enjoining the tele-
phone company from doing any bust
ness without authority from the city
council of Concordia. The telephone
company now appeals to the supreme
court to set aside the decision of the

2-That the entire loss should be
adjusted by one suit, as is being done
through the cross petitioning of the
insurance companies.
3@That all of the law actions, by
which the matter would have been de-
cided in numerous suits, were right

Syndicate should pay the costs incur

be dismissed.
4-The Amusement Syndicate
should recover from the various in
Surance companies the sums which are
in the same ratio to the total loss as
the amounts of their respective poll
cies to the sum of all their policies,
with interest upon each sum at per
cent from February %, 1907. These
sums are as follows:

The decision of the referee in this
case makes the costs for the insur-
ance companies some Sc, 900 more than
they would have had to pay had they
settled on the basis of the first offer
by the Amusement Syndicate Co. The
attorneys fees for the amusement
company will have to be paid by the
insurance companies in the sum of
$4,000.
The old Crawford theater was burn
ed in February, 1907. The insurance
companies refused to pay the full
sum of their policies, claiming that
the building and contents were not
damaged in that amount. The theater
people brought suit in the courts for
the full amount of the $25, 900 policies.

TWO CASES ARE SENT BACK.
One in Which Judge Dana Was Upheld
The Other Reversed.

Two mandates arrived at the office
of the clerk of the Shawnee county dis
trict court today with the compliments
of the supreme court. In one of these,
the case of Coleman against MacLen-
nan, the $4,000 libel suit against the
State Journal, Judge Dana's decision
was upheld, and in the other, that of
Rossville township against the Alma
National bank, the local court was re-
versed.
There is nothing new in the Coleman
case, unless it be the realization that
Mr.. Coleman will now have to pay some
costs. The decision was handed down
by the supreme court 20 days ago, and
the facts in the case published at that
time. Mr.. Coleman's costs in the dis
trict court Of Shawnee county amount
to SOAPS. The cost of the transcript of
the case and the supreme court costs
will probably elevate the costs to about
$500.
The other case, is the one used ex-
tensively in the recent 5 campaign
against John -Schenck, county attorney:
A little paper at Rossvilie, under a mis-
apprehension, stated that Schenck had
lost the case, and saddled lot of costs
upon the taxpayers. The little paper
was quoted literally in campaign cir
cuIar and distributed among the voters
of Rossville township

signed a township warrant" for the
amount and the Leavenworth bridge
company sold this agreement to the
Alma bank. The bridge was hardly
completed when it was again swept out.
Then the taxpayers of Rossville town

trustees, and the township was sued for

ty attorney, did not try the case. but
simply demurred to the evidence, on the

TUNED INTO PIES.
Apple Crop of 1908 Would Reach
$4,000 Miles.

Spokane. Nov s0.-The estimated
crop of apples for 1908 is 62,500,000
bushels. according to reports re-
ceived by Henry ]. Nicely, secretary
OF the national apple show at
Spokane.
The magnitude of these figures is
not appreciable unless it is put in
some tangible comparison. For in
stance, if these apples were made into
pies and placed side by side in a
straight line there would be almost
$4,000 miles of pie which would
form thirty-nine belts around the
world. The total weight of this
string of pies is estimated at 9,21O,-
100000 pounds, but this would in
dictate 6,125, 100000 pounds of flour,
lard and other ingredients used in the
pies. 1t would require 154.16S cars to
transport the pies from the ovens to
the consumer.
The returns show that while
drouths, excessive rains, or pests
wrought havoc in many districts in
the middle western, eastern and sew
eral southern states, the entire crop
is fully as large as in 1907, and it is
better distributed. Prices also are

FINDS FOR CRAWFORD.
Referee Decides He Is Entitled to In
SuPance.

Justice j. S. West, special referee
appointed by Judge Pollock of the
United States circuit court to take
testimony and make findings of fact in
the gCrawferd5 insurance case, has
handed down his decision and his
findings are for the plaintiff in the
case, awarding to the Amusement
Syndicate Co., almost the entire sum
OF the policies that he brought suit
for. Unless in the unlikely event of
this decision being reversed by Judge
Pollock the insurance companies are
liable under the findings by the special
master for S21,999 out of the $4,000
sued for.
Judge West found that the damage
to the theater was in the sum of ST.
ESQ and the personal property loss
was $4,741.
The following are the recommended
lions made to the court by the re-
fierce:

higher than last year. However, the
domestic supply is smaller than at
any time since 1895, for the reason
that the demand of the export trade is
heavier and increasing yearly.
Reports from a majority of the
growers indicate that the condition of
summer and fall apples is the best
but that in numerous districts the
winter varieties are. not up to the
standard. This. it is stated, is true in
Maryland Missouri, Illinois, Indiana
and Arkansas. while Massachusetts,
will harvest less than a SO per cent
crop. Connecticut, New Hampshire,
Rhode Island and Vermont report as
much fruit as in 1907, but the crop
in Maine will be smaller than it was
last year. However, the quality is
fair in most of the districts.

AUCTION PRICES" AT
FRICKER S CONTINUE
Reductions on Parity With
Recent Bargains.

In response to Numerous requests,
Fricker & Bro. have decided to con-
tinue their sale of jewelry at auction
prices up to and including March TO-
The plan upon which the sale is be-
ing conducted is: Anyone desiring
to purchase any article in stock asks
for the auction sale price on that
article. Mr. Fricker or one of his
assistants names price which is on
a par, as near as they can judge with
the prices which were obtained for
similar articles during the recent
sale conducted by Mr. Raven, the
auctioneer. This price will of course
be at very material reductions from
the regular selling price, which is
plainly marked on every article in
the store.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
first auction sale made sharp inroads
on the supplies, the firm is anxious
to convert further share of their
magnificent stock into cash.
In some instances out-of town cal
lers had heard of the auction sale,
and did not know il had been diseon-
tinued, and came to take advantage.

tinuing the reduction for another ten
days. The original sale closed We'd
