Matsumura in his suit against the
County, the action being instituted on
the ground that Matsumura IS home had
heen swept away in a landslide oeca-
stoned by the damming of stream of
water by county road workers. The
verdict for the complainant was return
ed in Judge Parsons court at Hilo.

nothing to prosecute his appeal since
filing the necessary bond. the plaintiff
in the action brought by Kahopewai
ct al, minors, by Edmund HI. Hart,
guardian against j. E. Kekipi, have
filed petition with the Supreme Court
asking that the clerk of the Second
Circuit Court, Maui, forward all the
papers in the case to the Supreme Court
for determination on the points raised.
The question of the validity of deed
was the basis for the suit and the de-
cree of the. Court is necessarily in abey-
ance until the appeal is disposed Of
The. plaintiffs allege that nothing has
been done beyond the filing of~the bond.
Costs Are Settled.
After considerable argument by the
counsel interested in the case in which
the relative value of services performed
came in for lengthy consideration,
Judge Robinson has finally disposed of
the bill of costs in the suit of the Wal
alua Agricultural Company against the
Oahu Railway & Land Company. The
Waialua Agricultural Company was
given verdict for $221S.46, with costs
and commissions, and after hearing the
attorneys on both sides Judge Robinson
reduced the cost bill OF the plaintiff
corporation to $33l.50.

ed with a weakness for relying on his
teeth more than his fists when he gets
into an argument that cannot be arbi-
trated, was before Judge De Bolt yes
terday for arraignment ON charge of
mayhem. He will enter his plea to-
morrow.
!. Gallagher, If convicted of the charge
against him, is liable to Imprisonment

MASTERS AND PILOTS
THANK MR.. CAMPBELL

Editor Advertiser:-Kindly permit
us, through the columns of your valu-
able paper, to publicly express our sin
cere thanks to Mr.. Marston Campbell,
superintendent of Public Works, for
his kind interest and most careful at.
tention to the needs of the waterfront
of this port. The completion of his
latest piece of ingenuity, being that
of screening all government electric
lights bordering on the waterfront, is
receiving most favorable commentator
from the seafaring fraternity and for
which they are truly thankful.
Heretofore, the glare from these
lights has been very detrimental to
the safety of handling vessels entering
port and docking at night, and since
the change has made such a marked
Improvement, we take this means of ex-
pressing our appreciation of the many
improvements during Mr.. Campbell s
incumbency.
Thanking you for affording us an OPP
portunity of doing SO, we remain,
Very truly yours,

ADJUSTMENTS
Ellefords Please Good Houses.


The El1efords opened their fourth
week at the orpheum last night, pre-
senting the laughable farce-comedy,
"AI Due to DIANA and it was all
that the press-agent claimed for it.
There is no horseplay, the laughs COM
ing from the unwinding of the clever
question in a new and novel way.
Every member of the big company
had a part that gave them an indi-
vidual chance to make good, and they
all certainly did. George Hernandez
was Rufus Littlepage, the man who
unknowingdy brings all of the trouble
on, and he certainly made good JOB
of it. He had one of his character
old man parts in which he always
makes a hit Anna Dodge was the
mother in-law, Mrs. Weatherby, who
is a mother-in-law twice over. Henry
Brown, the man who has most of the
Sosso, and could not have been in
better hands Lawrence Underwood
was perfect Mr. Trimble, who tries
to stop the trouble, but fails. Cute
little Miss Luce was the first wife of
the son and the last wife of the
father and, of course, was just the
same excellent little actress. Miss
Due made a charming and chic Marie,
a French vaudeville artist who helps
in the mix-up. Margaret Marriott was
| the affectionate second wife of Henry,
| and had a peck of trouble in conse-
quence. Lloyd Edwards is Harry
| Chandler. who aspires to be the hus-
band of Diana, but does not succeed
until she has been married twice, and
| everybody wished him luck as the
| third venture. Ray Collins and Nor
| man Whistler appeared as James and

| born children contributed a new and
| taking speciality and Ray Collins sang
