Uther Items OF Interest From
Temple Of Justice

In the damage case of Mary M.
Buckingham VS.. James A. Kelley,
which has been occupying the atten-
ton of the court and the jury for
the past day and a half in common
pleas court, the jury returned ver-
dict for the plaintiff shortly before
noon Wednesday allowing her dam
ages in the sum of $4,000, being the
entire amount asked for by the plain
tiff in her petition.
The plaintiff alleged in her petition
that the defendant threatened to
strike her and that he thrust his fist
in her face and threatened to hit her
in the face. The trouble is alleged to
have occurred at the home of the de-
fendant and the difficulty is said to
have resulted over the provisions of
the will of the late Mrs Hartman.
The case was warmly contested by
both sides and a large number of wit
nesses were examined on Tuesday.
In the arguments Tuesday afternoon
the attorneys for the plaintiff were
quite severe in scoring the defendant
in the case and portion Of the argu-
ment was excluded from the jury by
Judge Wickham.
The attorneys for the plaintiff were
Owen & Carr and L. C. Stillwell. The
defendant was represented by Waight
e Moore.
The charge to the jury was delivered
by Judge Wickham on Wednesday
morning and the jury had the case
less than an hour before returning the
verdict as indicated above.

on their family alter, but morn

Her husband preceded her by
many years to the glory world.
Grandma was sanctitied about

FEW IMMIGRANTS
TO Be TURNED

Comparatively few Of the 1S0O-odd
immigrants brought over on the Brit
ish ship Willesden will be rejected
here because of physical disability.
! In spite of exaggerated reports that
many of these immigrants are fated
to be deported under the Federal i'm
migration laws, 1t Is stated at the
Federal immigration station that no
large number will be turned back
from the land of their choice. a few
have been found lacking In certain
points where the Y. $. requirements
are rigid. but most of them are heal
thy. strong and intelligent and will
make good citizens.
Just how many will be rejected Is
not yet known, as the examinations
have not yet been finished. DR., Clark,
the Territorial Commissioner of i'm
migration, said today that there would
be no large number rejected, and this
was confirmed at the Federal station.

GAS SUPPLY
and consumers

Editor Evening Bulletin: The
statement in sundays Advertiser, un-
der the heading of the Bystander, I'm
plying that the Honolulu Gas Company
was not manufacturing sufficient gus
| to meet demands, and making the state
mcnt that Almost regularly the flow
Of gas gives out at certain hours Of
the day when general cooking Is done"
Is entirely In error, and Is totally at
variance with the facts. The article
| is utterly unwarrHnted and grossly un-
fair to the gas company. and being
| calculated to leave false impression
with the public. would be glad If
you will allow me space to refute the
article in question.
The AdHtrtiser's statement would
imply that complaints in great num-
bers are being made as to the gas
service and that the lack of gas at
critical times Is very general
Now, to the certain knowledge and
| written records of the writer, who has
been In charge of the manufacture
and distribution of gas in Honolulu
! during the last five years, this city has
| never for one moment suffered any
general lack OF gas or gas pressure
in the mains. incidentally, this Is Il
| record of which the gas company and
the writer are proud.
The present plant of the company Is
| sufficient to manufacture almost twice
| the amount of gas needed today by its
consumers, so that to imply any lack
% "a,
cilities to keep the mains full of gas,
is a fabrication, to say the least.
This being the case, Is 1t reasonable
to suppose that the gas company,
whose very existence depends upon its
service to the public, would negligently
and deliberately allow its service to
suffer through lack of gas, as the Ad-
vertiser implies?
OF course, we occasionally have our
| troubles, like other folks and other
public utility companies, but most de-
cidedly be make every effort at once
| to correct the trouble.
From our records, which are care
fully kept, we find that during Janu-
AIRY, February, March and April, 1912,
we received less than l per cent per
month of complaints of no gas" or
| poor pressure"
One-tifth of these were due to tho
consumer neglecting to place the nee
essary coin in the meter. OF the bal
anCe of these complaints, the majority
were remedied within very short
| time of being reported, thus causing
the consumer but little Inconvenience.
| In many cases indeed, the trouble was
adjusted within fifteen minutes oS the
telephone call coming in to the gas
company.
| For good and sufficient reasons
| which were acceptable to the consum-
ers, we were unable to attend to d
few complaints for several lays.
1t may be explained that the ma
jority of complaints alluded to were
caused by the rusting of the black

MR.. WICKERSHAM and
CORPORATION LAW.

Attorney General Wickersham in n
recent interview with the representa-
tive of the New York World, gave his
opinion of the most baneful feature
of the present corporation law. He
said:
Probably no one thing has gone
more to facilitate restraint of trade
and the growth of monopoly than the
departure from the early rule Of law
that one corporation cannot own stock
in another. That departure was the
most baneful result of the lassez
faire policy in dealing with corpora
tons to which the country abandoned
itself during the last thirty years Of
the nineteenth century.
The conditions which have result
ed from the exercise of the expressly
conferred power on one corporation
to take and hold stock in another,
present the most serious obstacles to
effectively dealing with the trust prob
lem. For few If any corporations sole
ly by means of the direct acquisition
of property and the widening scope
OF their own business, have acquired
such control of the particular com
merce among the States with which
they are concerned as to constitute
monopoly, or to threaten II.
Whenever competitors have been
excluded by unfair means, and a very
large part of the commerce absorbed
by a particular interest, the machin-
cry by which the result has been ac-
cOmplished, will be found upon exam
nation to ne the control of various
corporations by means Of incorporate
stockholdings."
What cases in particular represent
this condition."
The cases of the Standard Oil,
American Tobacco, the Powder Com
pany, the American Sugar Refining
Company and others. They furnish
abundant judicial demonstration of
this fact.
why. in large number Of corpor-
alton cases ii has been sought to per-
petuate the control secured by one
corporation through the acquisition
of stocks of other corporations, by
pledging such stocks as security for
issues of notes or bonds, and enorm-
Gus amounts of securities have been
sold to the public in faith of such
pledges"
you have remedy for this evil,
have you not, Mr.. Attorney-General?"
'If Congress should enact that no
corporation engaged in interstate
commerce shall hereafter acquire any
stock of any other corporation so en-
gagged, and that unless all such cor
porations should dispose of all stocks
held by them in other corporations
engaged in interstate commerce, with
in some specified period, they should
be prohibited from carrying on inter-
state commerce until they did dis
pose of such stocks, the axe would
indeed be laid at the root of the trust
evil. But justice to the innocent hold
ers of the securities issued to the pub
lie based on pledged stocks acquired
and held pursuant to express legal
authority would require consideration
to be given to their case, and such ex,
ceptions to be made from the prohi
biton rs might be necessary to theil
protection"
Would 1t do any harm for the re-
formers of Hawaii to take home tC
themselves some of the things tC
