BAND REJOICES
OVER HOLIDAY

Because tomorrow they start in to
enjoy a thirty-day respite from con-
certing at hotels, blowing steamers off
and supplying fresh music to official
and private functions, the members of
the Hawaiian band this morning at II
o'clock expressed their gladness by
gathering in the lower hallway Of the
City Hall, so-called, on Fort street,
near King, and breaking loose with the
most triumphant music.
Unsuspecting citizens and citizenesses
who wandered by the portal, stopped
to inquire of stationary spectators
whether the American Admiral, or
the British Admiral or the Dutch Ad-
miral was calling on His Honor, the
Mayor.
But the concert, over which Berger
presided with his usual genius, stand
ing on the stairs with his baton dodg-
ing an arc light, was entirely original
with the band and was not ordered nor
ordained. 1t was a spontaneous burst
of thanksgiving for a months holiday
to begin tomorrow. incidentally today
is payday.

AN UNINCORPOR7ED
BODY HAS NO LEGS

That an unincorpOrated body has no
legal standing to sue or be sued even
through an authorized agent is the
giSt of decision rendered by Judge
Whitney in the case of Chung ing for
himself and for all the members of the
Kong Chow Society against p. A.
Kim. The demurrer of defendant is
sustained on the ground of lack of
capacity in the plaintiff to bring the
action for and on behalf of the So
ciety, and on the further ground of the
nonjoinder of the members of the So
ciety as parties plaintiff. Ten days
are allowed in which an amended COM
plant may be filed.
1t is an action for money paid and
advanced at the request of the defen-
dant by the Kong Chow Society, an un-
incorporated, so-called mutual benefit
society The COMPLAINT alleges that
the plaintiff is the president of the
society and was authorized by its mem
| bers to bring the action as their trus-
tee. Defendant by his demurrer rails
ed the question of the capacity of
plaintiff to maintain the action, also
| that of on-joinder Of the members of
the society as parties plaintiff, and
lJudge Whitney says:
Il am clearly of the opinion that the
demurrer is well taken. The laws OF
the Territory do not recognize an un-
/ incorporated society as an entity. 1T
necessarily follows that they are joint
! owners fthe claim here in action. AS
such they are necessary parties plain
! tic and must be joined as such
1.-The mere statement in the COM
plant that the plaintiff is authorized
by being and orpsecute this action as
trustee sof no avail. The law does
not recognize the appointment by
society of this nature of specia
agent for the purpose of bringing suit
for the benefit of the society,
1.-The owners of chose in actor
can, in this jurisdiction, transfer theil
right of action for the purpose of en-
abling another to sue thereon in his
own name only by written instru
ment"
AS, according to the complaint, ther'
are $50 members in the Kong Chow
Society, a proper compliant jonng then

Taking the floor to speak to his reso-

which he stated he had directed the

tion rs to what he Rad done in the
bringing of a suit against the United

tion Of the Tennessee Coal & Iron
Company.
Complaining that the language of
the President In his steel corporation
message had not been distinguished
by its extreme courtesy Mr. Bacon
proceeded thus:
This Is the first time that the denial
of the right Of the Senate has ever
been made in such unlimited and em-
