P|L|kIA Of BIC
BOAT EXPENSIVE
Federal Court Allows Pacific Mail
Company Twenty Thousand
Dollars Damages.
THE CLAIM WAS FOR $4,000
Part of the Damage Was the
Fault of the Company
Itself.
THE CLAIM WAS FOR $4,000
(From Saturdays Advertiser.)


Almost four years after a cable, foul
ed around the propeller of the steam
ship Siberia, laid her up here for some
time, for three days later on in Yo-
kohama, and for four days more in
San Francisco, at an alleged great cost
to the Pacific Mail company, that COM
pany has at last collected damages
from those responsible for the vessel IS
pilikia. In decision handed down
by Judge Dole in the federal court
yesterday, the steamship company is
awarded $20,S59.75, the figure which
the court decided would cover the
amount of damage. The company ask.
ed for 100000.
The cable that fouled the vessel IS
machinery was attached to the
dredger Pacific, and it was against the
owners Of the dredger that the suit
was directed. The greatest item of
damage allowed by the court was to
cover the drydocking of the vessel IN
San Francisco, the cost of which was
allowed to be $14,1S0.01. The balance
was to cover the loss caused by delay,
mechanical surveys, divers fees, etc.
One of the principal reasons for the
reduction of the amount asked was
that the Siberia proceeded from here
to Yokohama after temporary and in
sufficient repairs by local diver, an
end of the wire cable protruding from
the shaft sleeve striking the propeller
at every revolution and thus injuring
it. This, the court held, could not be
charged to the defendant, as it was
due to the carelessness of the com
pany in despatching the vessel with
out proper repairs.
On November 10, 1905, the Siberia
was maneuvering in the harbor pre-
paratory to leaving on her voyage to
Yokohama, and while doing so a heavy
wire cable and anchor chain lying on
or near the bottom of the harbor foul
ed her starboard propeller, shaft and
shaft sleeve. Because of her size and
the depth of water she was drawing,
she proceeded with one propeller out
of the harbor to deep water, where
she anchored A diver succeeded in
removing the anchor chain from the
propeller and it's shaft and discon-
Meeting it from the wire cable to which
it was attached, but found it impossi-
BILE, under the circumstances, to un-
wind or remove the cable from the
shaft and sleeve. After a delay of
more than seven hours, the master de-
cided to proceed on the voyage, leav-
ing the cable around her shaft sleeve.

NO COMBINE IS
CONTEMPLATED
Petrie Denies That Any Pine
apple AmaIgamation Is
Being Considered.
Trom Saturdays Advertiser,

The story of a $2,0o0,000 pineapple
combine, published exclusively in the
Bulletin yesterday afternoon, is with
out ony foundation, according to T. II.
Petrie, who, being the recognized com
mercial head of the pineapple interests
in Hawaii, should know what he is
talking about.
"I have heard absolutely nothing of
any such combine" said Mr.. Petrie,
"and if there were anything of the
kind contemplated, L think | should
have heard of it. 1t is, of course, pos
sible that some of the Independent
growers or the Japanese might think
of forming an amalgamation, but there
is none of them big enough to swing
any such proposition as that.
"James d. Dole, president and man
ager of the Hawaiian Pineapple Com
pany. is now on the Coast and there is
nobody here authorized to represent
him.
According to the story published in
the afternoon paper, on the quoted au-
thority of nobody, decision has been
arrived at by certain plantations not
mentioned by name to form a new cor
poration and increase the capital stock
and facilities so that the output can
be doubled. This is supposed to be on
account of the fact that the plantations
have been taxed beyond their produc-
ing capacity because of the large de-
mand created through the advertising
received at the Seattle fair.
Two prominent business men, also
not named, it was stated, have been
selected to make a tour of the various
plantations to see what sort of com
bine can be effected. About 5000 acres
of pineapples, according to the story,
will be controlled by the new company
and 10000 acres of land have been
negotiated for with a view to increas-
ing the planting facilities.
The story is interesting, but accord
ing to the leading pineapple authority
of Honolulu, only as piece of fiction.
Nevertheless, the plan is one which
might well be worked out, in view
of the increasing favor with which Ha-
waiian pines are meeting in the States
and the necessity of their coming sooner
or later into close and active competi-
tion with the Cuban product in the
East.

ACCIDENTAL
SUICIDE CASE
Strange and Wonderful Verdict
of Coroner's Jury Rendered
Last Night.

"Keawe Kaluna came to his death
on the twenty y-eighth day of October,
1909, from being accidentally run over
by the II p. m. train of the o. R. &
l.. Company bound for Eva Mill, at
Kalihi-kai, in Honolulu, City and Coun-
ty of Honolulu, said deceased having
laid on the track with suicidal intent. -
The above is the strange verdict
brought in last night by the coroner g
jury that sat on the body of the young
Hawaiian whose mangled remains were
picked up Thursday night along the
track of the o. r. & L. railroad in
Kalihi. 1t appears from the verdict
that the deceased accidentally commit
ted suicide.

ANOTHER MERGER
To BE EFFECTED
First National and the Bank OF
Hawaii Will Probably
AmaIgamate.
FINAL STEPS EXPECTED SOON
[. Tenney Peck to Be Head OF
New Institution-Cooke
May Retire.
FINAL STEPS EXPECTED SOON

Plans are being worked out for the
amalgamation of the Bank of Hawaii
and the First National Bank of Ha.
waii. and it is expected that the big
combination will be effected in a com.
paratively short time. No definite ac.
ton has yet been taken, except that
the First National has received author
ization from Washington to increase its
present capital stock of 100000 to
$l,00O,O00, the purpose, of course, being
to permit of the absorption of the Bank
of Hawaii, which has a capital stock
of 100000.
Clarence II. Cooke, who recently sue.
ceeded his father, the late Q. NJ. Cooke,
as president of the Bank of Hawaii,
desires, it is understood, to retire from
the banking business. His prospective
retirement opens the way for an anal.
gamation of the conflicting interests,
which will give the Bank of Hawaii
stockholders "A chance at the handling
of government deposits. These, with
the growing military and naval import
ance of the Territory, have become i'm
pOrtant.
l.. Tenney Peck, now the cashier of
the First National, will, it is under.
stood, be at the head of the combined
banks. The premises at present occu.
pied by the Bank of Hawaii will be
used by the amalgamated concern for
its savings bank business. The First
National premises, at the corner of Fort
and King streets, will be used for the
commercial business of the new bank.
Clarence II. Cooke is at present abb
sent from the city, being on Molokai,
where he stopped for day or two on
his way back from Hawaii, and no
action of the stockholders can be taken
until his return, which it is expected
will be tomorrow. 1t is anticipated,
however, that within few days there
will be meeting of the stockholders
of the Bank of Hawaii and that they
will be asked to vote on the proposition
of amalgamating with the First Ma
tional. AS this is move which has
been contemplated for some years, there
is every probability that they will
agree.
The fact that the First National has
asked for and obtained from the treas
ury department authority to increase its
capitalization to one million dollars
clearly outlines the policy of the First
National in regard to the proposed
amalgamation.
Cecil Brown, president of the First
National, stated yesterday that al
though nothing definite had yet been
done, the combining of the two banking
institutions was under consideration
and would probably be effected.

men and took him upon his back. After
prancing about a bit he stopped be-
fore the manager and said:
Here is the man-see how heavy
his feet are! -
That was Kaniho s way of saying
that the man was guilty of theft or had
knowledge of the disposition of the
stolen money But that is where the
rest of the Cinnamon disagreed with
the kahuna. They got angry. The
fact that Kaniho was kahuna didn t
scare them a whit. They surrounded
the manager and Kaniho and made
remarks, and finally held
them prisoners.
a friend of the manager slipped
away from the crowd and procuring a
hack drove in haste to the police sta
ton. He secured the services of Cap
tain Punohu and another officer and
they reached the salt house Just as
another hack dashed up from Kalihi
with load of Hawaiians, who had been
summoned to do up the Cinnamon and
rescue the Home Rule leader. Cap
