WHAT Hawaii
BUYS INfSTATES

Hawaii bought from the mainland
markets during the calendar year end
ing December 81 products to the value
of $21,917,747 A very considerable
portion of this amount was paid for
foodstuffs, much of which it is claim
ed might be raised locally to good adj
vantage. For instance $25,046 went to
superintendent Starrett claims that
Hawaii should be furnishing onions
to California, and appears to be de-
monstrating that it can be done. This
$4,000 does not by any means repre-.
sent all the onions imported to the
islands, probably even greater guam
tity being brought from Australia, and
not included in the government stats
tics from which these figures are OBJ
tanned Poultry and eggs to a value
of over $4,000 it would also seem
should be raised cheaper and better

endorsing the scheme and from many
property owners from each of the
counties affected. AS the matter
stands, eliminating the territory first
proposed near McHenry the bill gives
the new county of Stone 534 square
miles, and consists of some of the
most productive agricultural soil in
the state and probably the most rap

cattle raisers all over the country and
they are moving in by the dozens every

of their efforts and the boosters who

that section affected by the creatini

floor of the New Orleans Cotton Ex-

a member of the Cotton brokerage
firm Of Simpson G Finley had COM
mitted suicide at the Louisiana Club
the announcement of the failure of

himself in the head, apparently hav-
ing gone from the Exchange to the

ROBERTSON VERDICT
IS SET ASIDE
Award For Loss Of Eye Is Not Held
Within Law and Facts In Judges
Opinion.

The case of d. s. Robertson against
]. ]. Newman Lumber Company,
which has engaged the attention Of
the Circuit court since last Monday.
came to a final conclusion late yester-
day afternoon. on defendants motion
for a new trial.
1t will be recalled, as heretofore
stated in these columns, that Robert
son, in his declaration, claimed to
have been struck in the eye, and that
his eye was destroyed, by a flying
particle, while in the employ of the
Lumber Company as sawyer at one of
its band mills, in August 1910, by
reason of the negligence of the Lum-
Der Company in failing to furnish him
safe place and appliances.
The trial of the case consumed the
greater part of the week and the jury
finally returned verdict for $500
in favor of the plaintiff
The defendant filed a motion for
new trial, setting up various errors
in the proceedings and claiming that
the verdict was grossly excessive and
manifestly contrary to the law and
the evidence. This motion was heard
late yesterday afternoon and, after
the most exhaustive presentation Of
their views by the attorneys for both
sides, and thorough consideration by
the court, the motion for a new trial
was sustained, the verdict of the jury
set aside, and new trial awarded.
The Judge, In the course of his de-
/ cision, pointed out wherein many OF
the points made by the defendant in
its motion for new trial were well
taken. The court was Of the opinion
that the evidence showed that the
, plaintiffs injury was the result -
accident which could not have
foreseen or prevented; that
was no evidence to prove thu
defendant was negligent or dereiicl
in its duty to the plaintiff; and thai
the evidence showed that the plant
lff was an experienced sawyer with
full knowledge of the dangers attend
ant upon the place in which and the
machinery with which, he worked
and that he assumed such dangers.
The Judge stated, in the course q
his opinion that, while he greatl,
sympathized with anyone injured a.
the plaintiff had been, and was yer,
reluctant to disturb the verdict O
the jury in any case, still, it wa,
perfectly manifest to him that tn,
motion for a new trial was well TAX
: en-, that the verdict of the jury coul,
not be sustained from any viewpoint
that the Supreme court would gran
new trial if he refused it, and tha
he therefore, felt it to be his duty. II
Justice to the parties, that the new
trial be granted.
