The Mutual Telephone Company,
with the allied interests of the wire
less combina ton, have employed as
consulting engineer and constructor,
Mr. Humm'ell, who was brought here
recently by the wireless company to
install an automatic telephone SER
vice. He will now proceed to remodel
the entire outside telephone system,
and will prepare plans that will give
Honolulu an up-to-da.te system.
There are two departments of the
telephone company-the outside and
the inside systems-and Mr.. Hummell
will devote himself entirely TO the out
side. Mr.. Lehigh, the manager. con-
tinues in his present office. Mr. Hum
nell will have the services of an as
sistant engineer and craftsman.
Those now in control of the telephone
situation regard Mr.. Hummen as d
man well qualified to put the tele-
phone system in good shape. AS al
ready known, the new control pro-
poses to put most of the wires in the
business section underground, and
those in the outside districts in cables.
The company has received an extern
sion of the option from the automatic
telephone people for sixty days, and
the special committee will endeavor
to secure the services of A. Gartley,
general manager of the Hawaiian
Electric Company, to go to the main
land to inspect and report on the
various automatic telephone services.
The Mutual people know that the
community would have confidence in
Mr.. Gartley, and any report he would
make on the automatic would be ac-
cepted. The company also has conf
dence in Mr.. Gartley, and the men,
oers of it hope that the Hawaiian
Electric people will release him to
make this inspection, which is of vital
interest to the entire community.
The company is prepared to send
him to all the cities using the auto
matte service. Ex-Governor Carter,
who is working on the reorganization,
states that any report that Mr.. Cart
ley might bring would be satisfae-
tory to all concerned. He has made a
success of the construction work of

understands local needs, especially
where wiring and connections are con.
cerned.
Mr.. Carter states that some people
who have studied the automatic claim
that it might not work well here in
this climate on account of the moist
ure and humidity. 1.-THE moisture and
humidity" he says, have an effect
upon the electrical wiring of autos,
corroding the wires and rendering
them incapable of doing the work re-
quired of them. The atmosphere also
has wearing effect upon tires here"

MAYS LEAD To
LEGAL BATTLE
Bishop Street Extension Is
I Confronted With
Obstacles.

b In conformity with the resolution
that was adopted by the Senate and
the House of Representatives express
ing approval of the plan of opening
Bishop street from Beretania avenue
to the waterfront, Superintendent of
Public Works Marston Campbell is go
ing ahead with the work of making
preliminary investigation Of titles and
other matters that will affect tie gov
ernment's case
It is freely predicted that Bishop
street can never be opened from Bere-
tania avenue to the waterfront with
out a hard legal battle. extending
over a period of years, and which
will be fought consistently by at least
two of the property-owners whose
holdings are in the line Of the proa
posed street extension.
At the meeting of the joint confer
ence committee of the Senate and
House of Representatives which con-
sidered the resolution after the Sen
ate had disagreed and substituted
Merchant street JOF beTeldHLd dsCltuCs
"a number of property holders express
ed their views on the question. Speak
ing for Bruce Cartwright, Attorney
Stanley said that he objected strongly
to the proposal to cut through the
Cartwright holding in the extension
between Hotel street and Beretania.
These views were later modified and
Mr.. Cartwright's representative stated
that if he were fairly compensated for
the property he would raise no obJec-
ton to the government carrying
Bishop street through.
The question of financing the street
extension has been apparently solved
by an act that was passed by the last
LEGISLATURE, and under which public
lands can be disposed Of and the pro-
ceeds devoted to street Improvement
and extensions The law also con-
tains a land exchange clause, by which
private lands can be acquired through
the medium of exchange of govern
ment holidays.
superintendent Campbell says that
he will be ready to proceed with the
problem of the Bishop street extern
sion when he returns from Washing
ton in June.

WENT FOR MARRIAGE
AND COT DAMAGES

NEW YORK, April i6. = Sophie
Myer nineteen years of age, who
came to New York from Honolulu in
response to a cablegram from Carl
Kaiser, an electrical engineer, whom
she expected to marry on her arrival,
was awarded verdict for $1,000 by
Judge Truax and a jury in the Su-
preme Court yesterday in her suit for
breach of promise.
Kaiser is now in Australia, it was
said in court, and the case went by
default, the only question arising be-
ing the amount of the award.
Miss Myer and Kaiser were children
together, and when the plaintiff was
twelve years old her parents moved
to Honolulu. She produced letters in
court couched in endearing terms,
which she said were addressed to her
by Kaiser.
