P|LIkIA 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

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 S
pilikia. In a 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 $4,000.
The cable that fouled the vessel s
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 tt
cover the drydoeking of the vessel II
San Francisco, the cost of which wal
allowed to be $14 ,1S0.01. The balanc,
was to cover the loss caused by delay

One of the principal reasons for th'
reduction of the amount asked wa
that the Siberia proceeded from her
to Yokohama after temporary and in

end of the wire cable protruding from
the shaft sleeve striking the propelle
at every revolution and thus iniurin,
it. This, the court held, could not b
charged to the defendant, as it wa
due to the carelessness of the com
pany in despatching the vessel with
out proper repairs.
On November 10, 1905, the Siberi

ANOTHER MERGER
To BE EFFECTED
First National and the Bank of
Hawaii Will Probably
AmaIgamate.
FINAL STEPS EXPECTED SOON
l.. Tenney Peck to Be Head of
New lnstitution-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-
wall, and it is expected that the big
combination viii be effected in a COM
paratiyely 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
81 100000, the purpose, of course, being
to permit of the absorption of the Bank
of Hawaii, which has a capital stock
of 5000, 900.
Clarence FL. Cooke, who recently sue
ceeded his father, the late c. 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 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 H. Cooke is at present alb
sent from the city, being on Molokai,
where he stopped for a 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 a 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.

WIRELESS WORKS
WELL DESPITE THE
BAD WEATHER

( Although atmospheric conditions have
ret been altogether favorable since last
FRIDAY, when an electric storm was
prevalent all about the Islands, the Ka-
huku wireless station has been doing
excellent work and keeping in touch
with all signals coming from various
parts of the Pacific.
The Korea keeps in touch with the
Kahuku station and will continue to do
80 as far ives as possible, even though
she picks mp a Japanese station before
passing on, of the radius controlled by
kahuku
1t is likely that every effort will be
made by the Korea operator to keep in
touch with the Kahuku STATION as long
as possible, for the japanese land sta
ti9n operators are said to be not very
keen on responding to signals from sea
unless thew are $685.

AN INTERNATIONAL
AUTOMOBILE RULE

PARIS, October 12.-Before the final
session of the automobile conference,
NJ. Miller and the minister of public
works declared that the organization
had carried a vexed international ques-
ton regarding this sport long way
toward settlement. Tourists of every
nationality would be glad to hear, he
Sid. that not fewer than nine countries
ND entered an agreement according to
whi&h they would recognize one an
other s cards after certain formalities,
including the examination of chautfeurs.
These cards should be available not
only for the current year of issue, but
for twelve months from the date of
Individual issue.
1t was to be regretted, said the min
lister. that the United States and Swift
zerIand were not yet able to join the
union because the automobile questions
in those countries are under state
rather than federal control.

GUMbS REPLIES
To THE STAR

Editor Advertiser:-Allow me space
in your valuable paper to deny the
accusation in the Star in which it claims
that | am the instigator of the charge
of graft against Mr.. LeaI 1t is true
that | am aware of the facts connected
with the case, and it is also true that
| Informed the proper authorities here,
but that was sometime prior to Mr..
Leal S absence from the Island. What
ever | said about Mr.. Leal at that time
| say now and willing to say at any
time in public. The Star also accuses
me of writing anonymous letters to the
county attorney, and in reference to
that letter l like to say that l did not
write it. because even if l intended to
write it I would have signed my name
to it and never would have sent it to
the county attorneys office. There
could be no reason for me to hide my
identity, because in the presence of
Mr.. Leal 5 friends and even in the
presence of his subordinate officers 1
spoke the matter clearly and fearlessly,
and within his own hearing.
That Star says that [ have been in
terpreter for short times in the courts.
L have been an interpreter IN the cir
cult court for five years and have in
my possession a recommendation stat
ing that fact signed by Judge De Bolt,
Judge Robinson and Judge Lindsay.
The reason that I do not interpret in
the courts any more is simply because
do not happen to be the choice of
the county attorneys department. The
Star refers to me as Spanish negro
and I wish to state here that I am not
a Spanish negro but just simply a
negro. Respectfully yours,
ALFRED GUMBS.
