Public Service would not lay gas
pipes to his double house at l59-161
Watson avenue unless they could dig

It was with this question, If We may

who wished to impress the American
party of sightseers with the venerable
antiquity of the treasures of old Rome
1t did not matter whether it was re

query.
Harold t. Webster, the c%artoonist and

sights of Europe and the East, and his
experiences M sensations will be pub
lished shortly in the Evening STAR,
illustrated in his own characteristic
fashion.
lieedless to say, Mr.. Webster has
lodged the surveillance and custom
bound itinerary Of the touring agency.
He thinks nothing of jumping from the
top of the pyramids to the Forum-if
1t pleases him. He does not stop to
ask the advice of guides who would
tell him the best thing to do is to ac-
cept their own peculiarly brilliant SER
vices, which they will be honored to
tender him-for a consideration. No, he
investigates the curiosities of Europe
and the East by himself.

sits down. writes a letter to Bill about

that he, at any rate, wanted to show

that the donation to the promotion

donation to the Kapiolani Park of $500

women inside. He was nabbed by a
guard and explained that he had two
brothers and sweetheart in the sta
tion whom he had not seen for years,
and that he had just seen the young
woman he expected to marry as soon as
she was released and had simply tried
to speak to her. But the guard was
forced to drag him away and it was
only glimpse he secured of his BRIDE

One of the sailors of the feet wander

and bought So worth of candy and com.

and once again the guards had to in

But the contagion of feeding the

soon number of them came back with
their pockets full of candy and pop
corn, which a guard distributed for

Two condemnation suits for hand
necessary for lighthouse purposes were
concluded in the federal court yester-
day morning, one being a site at Hama
pepe and the other a right-of-way for
a pipe line at Makapuu point. In the
hrst mentioned there is an area of ten
four-ffth acres, which was purchased
for the sum of two dollars, one being
paid to the Hawaiian Sugar Company,
and the other to Francis Gay and sew

On the right-of-way there was an
expenditure of $50, half of this going
to trustees of the Bishop Estate, and
the other $25 to -Cushman Carter,
trustee, J. A. Cummins and Kepaka

IMMENSE SURPLUS
FOR PAID UP STOCK
Hawaiian Commercial Booms on
Rumor of Action at the
Annual Meeting.

For good while there have been
rumors among the stockholders of the
Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar Com
pany in regard to the paying up on
the shares of the company. At pres
ent there is a total of 2Sl25 per paid
up on each 500 of value of stock and
the company has paid dividends based
on par.
The company is organized under the
laws of the State of California with
capital of $1O,OOOOOO divided into
100000 shares OF $500 each, upon
which is paid an average of 5.7s125 on
each share. The story now is that the
balance of the sum due on the par
value of the stock will be declared paid
up by the company and the surplus
held by the company will be devoted to
this purpose.
There was no positive confirmation of
this yesterday, but 1T was stated that
the shareholders viii probably take ac-
tion along these lines at the annual
meeting to be held next March in San
| GEduciSCO. AT Lulb MEETING lueHt Will
also be action taken upon the question
of taking up the bonds of the company.
AT this time there is total outstand-
ing of $1,240,000 par value of bonds. In
1907 the company took up all it could
of the bond issue at 1000; now it is
proposed to take up the balance, OF as
much as can be secured even at a
premium, but this viii be determined
only mt the meeting in San Francisco
In the Hast report by the company
early this year it was stated that it
has surplus of 81 ,422 ,979.23, but un-
official statements made yesterday were
to the effect that this surplus now APP
J proximates the sum of $9,000000
Should it be decided at the meeting
next March to devote this surplus to
paying up on the stock, which must be
done under the laws of California AT
some time, it viii amount in reality to
SIMPLY a bookkeeping job and the
company will still hold this immense
sum as a surplus in capital instead as
"a surplus of profit.
However, the stock of the company
was in great demand yesterday and
made IA three time advance, with little

expenditure of $4,000 for increased
FIRE equipment.
Low did state very positively in his
letter that he wanted about $4,000 kept
in the budget for Koolauloa, his dis
triet on the other side of the island.
He stated that he and Dwight were
opposed to the $4,000, and that at the
caucus they had voted no. This brought
Murray to his feet with a demand that
the clerk bring forth the minutes Of
the Sunday caucus. Dwight stated pos
itively that there was vote, unani-
nous, at that caucus for $500 per
month for road work. He said he
wanted to hold Murray down to that
vote, $500 of which was to 90 toward
permanent improvements.
The only thing that really came of
the discussion was the statement that
the $4,000 which the board win receive
as it sares of the license moneys next
July, win probably be spent and not
kept to turn over to the next board as
finest egg" Murray said that much
of Low IS talk was grandstand play, but
in this Murray played no favorites, a,
