SHYLOCKDISCOUNT
AT COURTHOUSE

Some talk was heard around the
courthouse today over an incident
connected with the sale of witness
fees nj the Clein murder trial, re-
ported to the county commission
ers
A witness in the case, whose
name the commissioners did not
recodr, made complaint that Bailiff
Halbard of Judge kennans court
had charged discount of 25 per
cent on his fees as witness,
amounting to $3.50, giving him
$27 for the account
On the matter being presented to
Halbard he admitted giving the
witness only $27 for his account,
but said that this was due to a
mistake he had made in computing
the amount due the witness. Hal
bard said the man did not know
what he had coming and that in
checking up the amount Halbard
had made a mistake. The money
was refunded and the deal fixed up.
Halbard says thai the custom of
buying witnesses time and dis
counting county warrants has pre-
vailed around the courthouse for
years and that the customary fee
In such deals is five per cent. Hal
bard said he has carried on this
traffic himself, as we'll as many
others, and looked upon ii as legit-
innate and an accommodation to
parties needing the money.
The law places d heavy penalty
on any elective county official that
discounts county warrant or
other claim against the county.

THE AUTOMATIC
FRANCHISE
q
Can the New Corporation Be
Kept Off the
Streets?

Will the new automatic telephone
company be deprived of its right to
erect poles on the public streets and
dig conduits to conceal it's wires under
the grounda Has the new Board of
Supervisors, under the Municipal Act,
the power to revoke street privileges
given by the Territorial authorities9
These two questions may yet have to
be decided by the process of law, for
there is welld defined rumor to the
effect that the Mutual Telephone Com
pany will attempt to induce the new
Supervisors to refuse the Hawaiian
Wireless and Telephone company the
right to use the streets. There is a
pretty question of law in this matter.
The present franchise which the new
automatic company holds came from the
old wireless company. When Hutchins
sprung his big deal, the new company
was incorporated and the franchise of
the wireless concern was included IN
the incorporation. This gave the con-
solidation the necessary right to erect
telephone wires or place conduits under
the streets. The published plan of the
new hello firm is to run its wires under
ground in the districts between Kala-
kaua avenue and King street to Palama.
The franchise to the wireless company
for this purpose was given by the Ter
ritorial Superintendent of Public Works
when Mr.. Holloway was the head of
that department. The Municipal Act,
hill ~ orix- ha no ctrnatS
to the Board of Supervisors, is not re-
troactive, according to one authority.
1t is stated, however, that the Super
visors may have the right to revoke the
street rights which were given the auto
matte company by Holloway.
E. M. Watson was communicated with
but he knew nothing of such proposed
action, nor did L. A. Thurston, who is
the attorney for the Hawaiian Wireless
and Telephone Company. Clinton D.
Hutchins stated that such a move was
news to him. 1t is known, however,
that there was a conference of Terri
torial officials on this matter yesterday
afternoon.
Rumor has it that the new Supervis-
ors were made aware of their power
over the streets by the Mutual Tele-
phone company, or its agent, but Mayor
Fern and Supervisor Kane, who were
seen, denied that they knew anything
about it.
By whom the question was presented
to the Territorial officials is not known,
and whether or not any action Will be
taken by them cannot be learned. It
is I'M, erstood that no definite decision
on the matter was reached at the con-
ference yesterday.
