SUITS ENDED
BY CONF PROMISE
Petition Is Granted by Judge
Robinson in Afong
Action.

Two important suits have been ter.
minated by the successful conclusion
of compromise agreements which were
officially placed on file yesterday. Juoge
Robinson granted the petition of the
Bishop Trust Company as administrator
of the estate of Chun Along to com
promise a suit against f. B. McStocker.
The action was based on the prom
issOry notes for $4,000, bearing the
date of December rs, 1898 payable in
1901, 1902, and 1903, the notes all bear
ing interest at the rate of six per cent.
In the petition for a compromise that
was granted yesterday it is stated
that in July; 1907, MeStocker insti-
tuted suit against the administrator
of the estate of Chun Along on the
ground that in September, 1889, Chun
Along was in his debt to the extent
Of $4,000, a fee in connection with
work incident to the sale of Peepeekeo
plantation. The allegation was made
that in 1890 Chun Along left the Ter
ritory and that he declined to pay any
portion of the claim against him, the
principal and interest sued for amount.
ing to $76,4S1.52.
In the petition which was fled yes.
terday it is stated that owing to the
death of Chun Along it would be ex-
tremely difficult to make successful
defense to the suit, and that in the
event of the defendants losing the
action the balance of the estate would
be involved.
An offer was made by McStoeker to
discontinue his suit if the administra.
tor of the Chun Along estate would do
likewise with the action pending
against him and this was agreed to by
all the heirs of the Chun Along estate
with the exception of Abraham Along
The latter was cited to show cause
why the petition should not be granted,
but he did not appear.

his tragic death has left her a broken

little but sorrow. Yet her plea In the
midst of it all is for other mothers.
Some dread intuition from the first
made her strongly opposed to the game,
but in the face OF her sons enthusiasm
and pleading she had not the heart to
absolutely forbid him to play.
