BRUNER LOSES
HIS APPEAL

The supreme court has rendered
decision in the case of William w.
Bruner VS.. C. Brewer e Co., confirm
ing the Judgment of the circuit court
from which appeal was taken by the
plaintiff The opinion is by Associ-
ate Justice Perry.
The case was one involving the ar
bitration of dispute over a contract
for the care, shipment and sale of
quantity of coffee consigned to the
defendant by the plaintiff. The orig
inal action was for $1O,361.7S, and the
award of the arbitrators was for $737.-
40, with interest. The plaintiff sought
to overthrow this award.
The syllabus of the decision says:
an an action of law pending in one
of the circuit courts of this Territory
the court, without the aid of statute,
has jurisdiction with the consent of
the parties to refer the issues to ar
bitrators named by the parties, the
stipulation further providing for the
entry of the award as the judgment
of the court.
On such a case the reference to
arbitrator does not of itself operate
as a discontinuance of the cause and
the Judgment entered in pursuance of
the stipulation and order of reference
is valid
Awards of arbitrator are generally
regarded by courts with favor and
are not to be lightly set aside.
"a charge that an arbitrator is dis
qualified, based solely upon hearsay
affidavit presented nearly two years
after the filing of the award, can not
| be sustained.
"In the absence, at least, of trans
cript of the evidence, an award will
not be set a"ide on the ground that
certain interest claimed was not al
lowed or on the ground that the ar
bitrators accepted as true evidence
claimed after the filing of the award
to be false"

NEAREST PORT
TO PANAMA

Mr.. F. L. Waldron, the shipping
man, agrees with Sir Archibald Will
hanson that the shortest passage from
the Panama Canal to the Orient is via
San Francisco rather than by Homo
lulu.
Sir Archibald, when here, told Mr..
Waldron that his firm Balfour, Guth-
rie & Co., had a vessel from around
the Horn to Honolulu three years ago
for coal, her captain taking it for
granted that this was the nearest port.
Sir Archibald questioned this finding
and the company caused the question
to be figured out in detail, thus de-
monstrating that San Francisco had a
considerable advantage as to mile
age.
Mr.. Waldron agrees with DR.. Mar
ques, who also understands the mile
age question Alright, in that we may
be able to get some Panama business
by lowering port charges and water
rates.

was mixed up in the sensational scan
dial early in the year, is now in Chica-

return to Honolulu in the near future,
and that he will institute proceedings
against the persons who made charges
in regard to his conduct while head
of the Hilo High School.
Richmond, it will he remembered,
was the subject of an inquiry that
stirred up the whole community, Mrs.
Compton, one Of the teachers, was
also called during the investigation,
and it was partly through her state
ments that Richmond was suspended
and, finally, called upon to resign

GOVERNOR FREAR
ANO FRUIT PACK

when Mr.. Carnes was here" said
Governor Frear this morning, "the
matter of packing fruit was dis
cussed. Other methods of packing
were spoken of, and the scheme for
shipping bananas without packing
that is, suspended to hooks in the
hold-was also touched upon.
81 hope that no serious obstacle
will arise to prevent the shipping Of
bananas and pineapples. AS soon as
letters are received from the Califor-
Man authorities, the Board of Agri-
culture will know what to do
"The matter of establishing a pack
ing plant in connection with the de-
partment managed by Mr.. Starrett
was suggested by Mr. Carnes. Fruit
could be properly packed and certi-
fed to by the local authorities, and
if necessary the material used for
packing the fruit could be fumi-
gated"
The governor said that nothing had
been heard with reference to the pro.
posal that California contribute
$3.50 toward the campaign against
the fruit fly.

may be opened in the near future, as
there are many children in the rubber

There are some places where there
is no provision for rooms to accom-

found sometimes in locating assist
ants in suitable boarding houses. How
ever, Superintendent Pops feels that
the school proposition is now on a bet
ter footing than ever before, and that
the appointment of the additional as
sistants will be very satisfactory. The
names of the teachers will be pub

this acquired the Government will
own the whole squares outline and
I4ikelike street will be eliminated.
Accordingly the library building
was placed well away from King
street in order to avoid the noise of
traffic, but nevertheless facing King
street 1t was also placed very near
to Likelike street and away from the
Punchbowl street side for the reason
that the former street will be elimi-
mated as above outlined and Punch
bowl street will eventually be wild
ened.
This will leave the building pro
tected by trees from King street,
which trees are now to be seen on the
old Hopper premises. The buildings
on these premises, now occupied by
the public schools, will be removed
just as soon as the library is ready
for occupancy
"The impression that the library
will face Likelike street and be hid
den behind the school buildings is
therefore erroneous"
