W. +. Martin, of the United States

'eeed to Hawaii today by the Mauna
ikea, for the purpose of looking over
the water systems there.
He stated yesterday that man is
maintained on each island TO look af-
ter the water systems. This has been
rendered necessary owing to prodigal
use Of the water, but Oahu has no need
for this owing 10 the number OF arte-
sian wells here TO supplement- the sup

Mr.. Martin laid stress on the neees-
siiy of conserving the water as much
as possible, for as the years 60 on, he
pointed ont, there will be more cane
under cultivation, and this will mean
that moro water is needed Therefore.
the present supply should be- conserved

take three months to hear the testi.
mony in the case, said Attorney
Weaver IN an aside yesterday after.
noon during one of the long wrangles
between Attorneys Olson and Warren
over what questions should be asked
the witness by the former
Captain Macaulay was again on the
stand, this time on ecross.examination
by Attorney Olson, and although che
lawyer tried several times to make the
witness say something he did not mean,
he found it impossible.
The pilot was positive in all his
statements, and Olson dwelt on point
after point, telling the court that he
would finish in five minutes, and then
taking more than half an hour to con.
clude his questioning.
Ordered from Court.
One incident Of the afternoon which
was marked, was the excluding Of
Captain Macaulay from the room while
Attorney Olson explained to the court
and the other attorneys why he was
asking a certain question in regard to
the length of the cables from the Ar
coma to the Celtic Chief.
After considerable argument with
strenuous objections by Attorney War
rem, the court ordered Captain Maeau-
hay from the stand Then Olson said
that there was a discrepancy between
Maeaulay's testimony as to the amount
of cable in the water on direct and
cross examination, and he wanted to
ask this question again so as to find out
which statement was true. Finally the
question was allowed, the witness called
back, and the hearing proceeded
During the afternoon Captain Ma
caulay testified that Captain Miller had
whispered to him in the cabin of the
Celtic Chief about eleven O'Clock that
the ship was moving, but. he did not
pay much attention to the remark.
In about ten minutes he suggested to
the skipper of the Chief that they go
on deck to see what was doing, Cap
tain Miller having gone above before
them.
After being on until four in the
afternoon, the case was continued nm.
til today and the hearing will be re-
sumed this morning.

City Attorney Cathcart explained
that The defendant s wife had made a
mistake in entering the names of GER

a case of spite, as the amount involved

that the wife who had been illused had
called on min, and told him that she
