vessels solely for freight. By reason
of its contracts with the Tehuantepec
railroad it controls a monopoly of the

it has secured such large proportion

SAYS MAUI HOLDS
THE RECORD FOR
ROBBING HEIRS
Accuses Rev. S. Kapu of Being Short in Ac-
counts as Administrator Maui Paper
Demands Kepoikai's Removal

The following is the leading editorial
of the latest Maui News, Editor Coke IS
strong local paper:
The acts of Judge A. N. Kepoikai
in the matter of the estate of 7. Mori
have been Investigated by Deputy At
.torney General Larnaeh and his report
is now in the hands of the Governor,
who will doubtless make his report to
the proper authorities in Washington
and make proper recommendations in
Efhe premises.
1t has been made plain by the rec
ords that in spite of the strongest
efforts of Consul General Mkt Saito
and E. A. Mott-Smith, the attorney in
fact of the children of 7. Mori, the
court turned down the proposition to
have responsible business man, Coun-
ty Attorney D. H. Case, appointed as
guardian and administrator even when
at was shown that he was willing to
act for the children without compensa>
tion of any kind, and that the Judge
appointed a man who knew but little
of business.
Tt has been proven eonclusively that
both Consul Mkt Saito and E. A. Mott
Smith urged the prompt settlement OF
tHe estate NtdAG do thC
were practically destitute while their
fathers money lay here idle.
It has been shown that shortly after
these efforts were made Judge A. N.
Kepoikai borrowed one thousand dol
lars from the estate on his peronal note
at low rate of interest The note
was for long term and the Judge did
mot even pay the interest as it became
due. In fact for over two years he
paid no interest at all nor any part
of the principal.
The note was given without any
security whatever.
1t was shown that while the money
that properly belongs to the children
of the deceased has lain here for many
years they have never received one
cent of it but remain in practically
destitute circumstances.
The story that letters have been
written from here in an effort to locate
the children in Japan strikes us as
Subterfuge of the rankest type.
It has not been denied that the Japa-
nese government has duly appointed a
representative of the children or that
f. A. Mott-Smith holds valid power
of attorney. To find the children who
are benefciaries of an estate is not

latterly as sugar-ehecker for Castle
& Cooke. He was a prominent member
of the Democratic party, having been
the party campaign manager for this
island in the last campaign.
He was a man well respected by all
and one who had the confidence of a
large circle of warm friends. Although
he had been sick for some time, it was
thought by all, including himself, that
he was fast recovering, and only within
the past two days he was planning for
his work in the coming political cam
paign.

ternoon, the funeral to be held from

LOGGING ROAD TRAIN
Frightened HIS Horse
Animal Ran Away and Threw Him
From Buggy, Inflicting Serious In
juries-Suit Will Not Be Tried at
Approaching Term of Court.

c. w. White, a resident of Lamar
County, through his attorneys, Noun
ger & Mounger, has filed suit for $1O,-
900 damages against w. S. F. Tatum
and Wesley Tatum, of Forrest County,
partners in business and negotiating
in trade under the name and style of
the Tatum Lumber Company"
White alleges that on or about Au-
gust 1, 1908, that he was travelling the
public road in a buggy and that he
was en- route to church; that when he
was about eight and half miles from
Purvis and two and half miles from
Richburg, he was compelled to cross
defendants railroad; that when he
reached the crossing of the railroad
and public road he found an engine
close to the crossing on one side and
some log cars on the other side and
that although he was driving gentle
horse the animal became frightened
and he was thrown from the buggy,
striking a stump and falling violently
to the ground. Complainant further al
leges that he sustained severe inju-
ries, suffered much anguish and had
considerable physicians and drug
gist's bill to pay. He alleges that the
company was negligent, carelessly and
wilfully refused to have said road
opened, the engine being within, or
nearly within the roadway and the log
cars only short distance, leaving a
very narrow passage and that this was
what caused the horse to become
frightened and resulted in the injuries
complained of; that his knee was
crushed, torn and lacerated and his
arms were injured and that for time
after he got out of bed, he was COM
PEELED to use crutches. Considering
these damages, the complainant asks
for $4,000 damages.
This suit cannot be tried at the term
of court that begins next week, as it
was filed too late.

PAPER Mill
IS PROBABLE.
Lumber Journal Will Send Man
to Hattiesburg to Talk
to Newman Company.

1t is probably a question of only
year or two until Hattiesburg will
have a paper mill that will use yellow
pine for making its output.
There is some reason to believe that
the ]. ]. Newman Lumber Company
may consider this matter in the very
near future. The manager of a well
known lumber publication has recent
ly signified his intention 10
visit to Hattiesburg to confer with the
Newman Lumber Company about un-
dertaking to manufacture paper from
yellow pine pulp, but so far the gentle
man has not shown up, but 1t is be-
lieved that he will visit the manage
ment of the Newman Company in the
very near future and that he will be
prepared to demonstrate that good
paper can be manufactured from yell
low pine pulp.
In fact, this has already been dem
onstrated and if the Newman people
can be shown that there is money in
it and that great deal of their waste
timber can be used In this way, it is
reasonable to suppose that the COM
pany will be glad to take the matter
up. There have been rumors that
they might undertake to build paper
mill any way, but the management
has given out no information to this
effect

FACTORY
|SCOM|NG
Big Box and Crate Industry Will
Absorb Cross Arms Factory
Already Here.

1t is practically settled fact that
Hattiesburg will get the box, crate
and novelty factory that has been
under consideration for several days.
Mr.. E. E. Williams. of Buffalo, N.
Y, is understood to have made the
statement this morning that he had
decided on Hattiesburg for the loca-
tion of his plant.
At meeting of the Commercial
Club held last night, it was decided
that Hattiesburg citizens would take
stock to the amount of $4,000 The
citizens of this city have. great conf
dence in the success of an enterprise
Of this kind and it will be no trouble
to raise the stock. 1t was not made
a condition that stock be taken, before
the concern would come here, but rec
ogniZing the value of the investment,
a number of citizens wanted to have
some stock in the concern.
1t is learned from reliable authori-
ty that the new factory will consol-
date with the cross-arms factory
which is located in this city. and this
will make it an immense concern,
manufacturing cross-arms, crates,
boxes, and various and sundry kinds
of novelties.
