Nice ANDLESS' CLAIM TO
LAND DENIED By COURT

L. L. McCandless this morning lost
land case in Judge Whitneys court,
wherein he sought for the confifma-
ton of title to tract of about sixty
eight acres at Keaau, Waianae. Title
was ordered registered and confirmed
in the Territory. pai
The boundaries were the point OF
contention, as McCandless owns a
tract on several sides Of the one in
dispute and the land had been trans
ferred to him before the present Ter
ritorial government came into exist
ence
Z Judge Whiteney and Court Cisrk
Marcallino sprung a surprise that
brought a protest from counsel for
both sides when they announced, nea
the conclusion of the lengthy hearing,
that they had gone over unostentati-
ously- several days ago and personally
inspected the tract and had a fairly
good idea of what the boundary evl-
dence was. The attorneys declared
the court had no right to accept any
evidence except that entered IL court,
while the court held that it had the
privilege of inspecting the original evi-
dence.

LOCAL AND GENERAL

Steps will be taken to notify prop
erty owners along Beretania avenue
to connect their premises with the
newly laid water, sewer and gas
mains as soon as possible, as the city
proposes to macadamize that thor
oughfare at an early date.
Prof. H B. Bairos writes DR.. Pratt
that satisfactory interest is shown by
the people of Kauai in the tubercu-
losis exhibit and lectures he is giving
on that island He says his discov-
cries are attended by 200 to 400 per-
sons on every occasion. He will re
turn here with the exhibit about Aug
ust 81 and probably viii proceed TO
tour Maui with the display.

QUEEN Street
SOON PAVED

sThe maukas side OF Queen street
from Nuuanu to the river win be paw
ed with bitulfthic with the close OF
business this evening. unless some I'M
forseen accident should occur 50
stated President Joseph Gilman. Of
the local bitulithic plant this morning.
This work has been done In fourteen
working days. The pavement that
now adorns the mauka side OF the
street, Is ready for trafiic and can be
used without fear Of being harmed IN
the least by the travel Of heavily
loaded teams.
Mr.. Gilman. is prepared to make the
dirt fly on the makei side OF the street
beginning tomorrow. He has a large
force Of mer and also much machin-
cry on the ground, and proposes to
complete the Queen street paving job
well under the specified forty days
time limit as set by the board Of sup
e,visOrs when the contract for the
pavement was let to the Gilman COM
pony.
There is a well defined sentiment
among a number of members on the
board, that the section of river street.
lying between King and Queen street
be paved. There is but one short
block and it is pointed out that with
both King and Queen streets now paw
eG. the shorter piece of city highway
should be Improved in conformity to
the adjoining streets.
What is really Urged is that there
be continuous paved thoroughfare
from the Eva approach of the big
Hackfeld wharf, to. the center of the
city.
This will be done should the board
authorize the letting of contract, to
pave short section of the street lead
ing from Queen street to the wharf,
and the one block of River street
AT the matter stands at present
with the exception Of the pavement
along Queen street, all traffic between
the business district of the city and
the wharf upon which all freight and
passengers brought by Matson Navk
cation steamers are landed, must pass
over portions of public thoroughfares
that are little better than boys and
quagmires in rainy weather.

Woodville, Miss, Sept. a.
The Bank of Weodville was closed
temporarily this morning wher
Ralph Gray Jones, Cashier, failed
To appear, and it was announced
that he was short in his accounts.
A committee investigated the
books all day, but gave out no
statement as to their condition.
The shortage is said to be
about $4,000. Jones IS believed
to have lost money specializing
in cotton futures. He was un.
der bond in a surety company
for $4,000.
David G, Bramlette, Jr.. a son
Of the president of the bank, in a
statement tonight, authorized
by his father, said that the short.
age was believed to be between
$4,000 and $1,000. He added
that Jones had confessed to al
brother yesterday afternoon that
sum, and that cotton speculations
had lead him into the alleged
eubezzlement.
According to Mr.. Bramlette,
Jones disappeared late yesterday
afternoon or last night. His
whereabouts are unknown. The
missing cashier is about forty
years old, married, and has two I
