Hawaiian Businessmen Want
Removal of Fine for Travel=
ing in Foreign Ships

HONOLULU, Dec. 9-Leading mem
bers of various commercial bodies have
issued a call for a mass meeting to be
held in the near future, the purpose of
which will be to adopt resolutions ask
ing congress for a temporary suspen-
sion of the coastwise shipping regula-
tions, which impose a fine of 5000 upon
any American citizen who travels be-
tween American ports in foreign ships.
This appeal will be made on the
ground that many Americans who wish
to visit the Hawaiian islands at this
season are unable to secure accommo-
dations on American liners, which are
overcrowded, and would give up the
trip rather than pay the heavy fine
imposed for travelling in Japanese ves-
sells
The businessmen of this city have
planned a vigorous campaign in favor
of a suspension of the regulations until
such time as a subsidy may encourag ge
American capital to increase the pas
senger facilities between the Pacific
mainland and the island possessions.

"San Francisco, the Mecca of the

that has gone forth as the first message

But a more ambitious program has

To bring about this desirable end will
necessitate an early beginning. This
beginning has already been made. The
promoters of the big enterprise will
profit by the mistakes of the past. The

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-James NJ. Beck,
who has been retained by Francis j.
Heney in a suit for damages against
William Fl. Crocker, returned from
Washington today. He said to The
Calls correspondent:
"Al I know about the case is that
during my absence in Washington and
on receipt Of a telegram from Heney
my assistant arranged for the service of
summons on Mr.. Crocker, and it was
served by one not connected with our
office. 1 expect to draw up the COM
plant tomorrow. Joseph ID. Redding
answered the summons for Mr.. Crocker
as his attorney.
The well known San Francisco club
man, when interviewed by The Calls
correspondent, said:
Mr. Crocker received the summons
and turned it over to me, as his attor-
ney, but l do not even know as yet
what the cause of action is
Upon being informed that it was
based on a letter written by Crocker
and published in the New York Even
ing Post, Redding explained the differ
ence between methods of legal proce-
dure in California and in New York
In New York." he said, Complaints
are not actually filed in court. The
! first step is TO serve a summons on the
defendant and this may be done by
the plaintiffs attorney on receipt of a

present. All is done by their attorneys.
No steps are taken in court and conse-
quently there is no legal record of any
complaint until some motion is made in
open court. This is why Heney's suit
does not appear of record in court here
at this time. After the summons is
served by the plaintiffs attorney the
latter has 20 days in which to draw up
a formal complaint and serve it on the
defendants lawyer"
Redding continued: 81 have known
Heney for some time. He is good
fellow, but. in view of his own1frequent

hopeful that he viii be with them and
he viii be made a member of the exec
