Ask For Divorce.
A libel for divorce was filed yester-
day by Ida Smith. in which she asks
matrimony and accuses her husband,
Daniel Smith, of failure to make suf-
ficient provision for her support. Mrs.
Smith is a resident Of Kahului, and
the home of her husband is given as
Palama. The couple were married at
Waikiki in 1907. c. w. Ashford and
James Coke are attorneys for the
plaintiff. Judge De Bolt issued a sum-
I mons for the husband.
The finding of the arbitrators in the
case of w. w. Bruner versus c. Brew
err & Co., Ltd. involving a question
of insurance liability. was filed yester-
day In the course of the report the
three arbitrator, L. T. Peck, J. M.
Dowsett and A. L. Gurrey, say:
1.-THE amount of the insurance in
| both warehouses was much in excess
| of the value of both Burners and
| Terry's coffee, SO 1t was not necessary
TO go into the detail of the latter
| claim.
eve feel that no liability to Bruner
! attaches to Welch & Co. by reason of,
/ their selection of the insurance com
| panies carrying the risk, nor with
compromising with them in the final
settlement of their respective adjusted
claims; and while we do not even de-
sire to suggest negligence on the part
| of WEIGH & Co, it does appear to lis
that they acted under misapprehension
as to their rights of recovery under
the policies covering Burners coffee.
1--WE therefore find that C. Brewer
& Co., Ltd. are to pay 80 w. w.
/ Bruner the sum of $737as, with in
terest thereon at the rate of per cent
per annum from December 1, 1906, in
full settlement of the claim against
them
Il Each party to the case will pay halt
of the cost of stenographer's fees and
also half of the arbitrators fee of
$3.50.
