Those Water Bills.

What are known as the McCrosson
water bills have been very much in
the limelight this week. The Cham
Der of Commerce took them up ut one
of its regular meetings and petitioned
Congress that the bills be not passed
at this session or any other. There
was no division of opinion regarding
the petition to not pass the bills. The
only discussion was whether the
Chamber should pass resolution
asking Congress to refrain from pass
ing any local bills until they had
been acted upon by the Legislature.
Attorney Wilder in letter to l..
A. Thurston, which letter Thurston
published in his paper, says chat the
charge of the Wahiawa bill being n
steal Is not well founded, and the
probability of the contemplated ac-
ton was not unknown to Castle 4
Cooke. He says in effect that Nc
Crosson goes after rights that no one
else possesses and never has pos
sessod. Manager Tenney responds to
this with statement that owing to
some errors in the Territorial sur
veys-the Wahiawa water license was
secured from the Territory-the Nc
Crosson bill would give to McCrosson
the water sources of the famous Wa
hiawa water.
Whoever is right in the matter, tho
people are fatty opposed to the spir-
a., Of tho Mcrrnscnn hills Mr. Me-
Crosson will no doubt in the long
run get license to develop water
under favorable conditions, for the
so-called Kau ditch scheme, but the
people of Hawaii will never approve
any such bill as went to Washington
with the o. X. of the Governor ana
under which, II passed. there would
have been throughout the Territory n
wholesale loot OF land and water by

FABIAN CASE
BEFORE Court
Indictment Sufficiency Is to
Go Before the Supreme

The validity of the indictment
that was found by the Territorial
grand jury against Benjamin Fab
Ian is to go before the Supreme
Court, the sufiiciency of the truo
biz being reserved for the consider
alton Of the Supreme Court this
morning after Arthur Wilder pre-
scented lengthy argument in the
Circuit Court against the Indictment

Refusal of banks at that time to
loan very large amounts on the pop
uar stocks is what now saves more
than one man from having his loan
called. The small margin that was
allowed him at that time is now n
safe margin, and for this reason the
recent period Of slumping has not
been accompanied by the panicky
feeling that is usually found when
there is such tremendous shrinkage
as has taken place in many II not all
the sugar stocks on the market.

Outside Investment.


II has often been remarked in these
columns and on the streets that some
people will throw their money into
propositions brought into the local
market on a glowing prospectus, and
when they get word ,iat the enter
prise has failed and the money gone,
say nothing But the same men when
putting their money into local enter
priscs, cry out with IA loud voice II
the price goes down or the dividend
Is reduced There seems to be a lack
of loyalty for local enterprises, or
else 1t is that when losses are made
abroad the persons bitten keep quiet

about their losses.
