MANY STRANGE ACCIDENTS REPORTED
FROM THE OUTLYING ISLAND CITIES

The outlying islands have been more
than usually prolific in serious accidents
during the past week, but in only one
instance, out of a number of narrow
escapes from death did any of these re.
suit fatally and that was in the case
of deliberate suicide at Makaweli.

Sehkelo, who had been out of work for
some time and had been applying in all
quarters for any kind of work until he
was completely destitute, threw him.
self under the wheels of locomotive
last Sunday morning and was instantly
ground to death. The man was most
deliberate in adopting this horrible
form of suicide. He stood by the track
and watched the engine approach at
full speed until it was within a few
feet of him when he dived under the
wheels. His body was horribly man
gled and death was instantaneous.
An accident of very different type
occurred on the Hanamaulu road,
Kauai, the same day, when certain
citizen of that island who had absorbed
an unusually heavy Sunday jag rode
his horse over high precipice and
landed at the edge of the surf, taking
down with him few tons of loose rock
and gravel, He was granted the usual
special dispensation and both he and
lis charger escaped without serious in

PHILIPPINES SEE HOPE Or INDEPENDENCE,
IF THE DEMOCRATS WIN COMING ELECTION

The hope for independence In the
Philippines Is conferred in the coming
battle Of the Democratic and Republi.
can parties, according to Joaquin Bal.
mort, delegate to the Philippine Assem-.
bly, at Manila, and a special represen.
tative of the labor party or the Phil
ippines, to ascertain the condition of
Filipino lnborcrs on the plantations of
Hawaii.
"If the Democratic party wins the
presidential election we may reasona bly,
hope for declaration of independence
for tho Philippines said Mr.. Bal
mort yesterday. "we do not believe
that the Republican party win make
any change in the government. but we
do believe that the Democratic party
will give what ninety per cent. of the
Filipinos want.

ROBERT HORNER WINS
HIS PR0TRACTEO FIGHT
FAMILY AGREEMENT AGAINST
PUBLIC POLICY, IF IT EVER
EXISTED, SAYS ROBINSON.
tFrom Sundays Advertiser.)

That the Homer family agreement,
if it ever existed, was against public
policy and that it hadn't been proven
to exist anyhow, is what Circuit Judge
Robinson decided yesterday noon, when
the arguments closed in the case of
Horner versus Horner. The injunction,
whereby Albert Horner sought to
prevent Robert Homer from selling
shares of Kukaiau plantation to Davies
and company, was dissolved.
The court did not say whether if the
agreement had been proved to exist, it
would be sustained, but held that it
had not been proved, and strongly in
timated that even if proved it would
not be enforced. Exceptions were
noted by Thompson & Wilder for Albert
Horner, and the case may be appealed.
In ruling on the case Judge Robinson
said:
agreements of the class to which
the agreement referred to in the bill
elongs, are not favored in law as a
Iule, and long line of decisions, well
considered by eminent authorities, and
hv systems of jurisprudence, down to
the present time, have found agree
ments of that character as being
against public policy, except in certain
cases.

saturday, April Is, while coupling
cane cars. He was struck on the right
hip by car and knocked down. He
was taken to his home in locomotive
and it was later discovered that his
hip bone was fractured
On the same fatal Sabbath which
was marked by the Russians suicide
on Kauai and the spectacular ride of
the inebriated one, two serious auto
mobile accidents occurred on Maui.
Joe Pun, Hawaiian boy who was
learning to ride a bicycle on the road
between Waikiki and Kahului, became
panic stricken at the sound of an auto
mobile horn behind him and swerved in
front of car driven by Ned Nicholas.
The wheels passed over his abdomen
and he was conveyed to the Wailuku
hospital where for several days the at
tendant physicians despaired of saving
his life. His condition had improved
somewhat on Thursday, however, and it
is now believed that he will recover
In a similar way Japanese cyclist
fell under a car driven by Sam Weller
on the road between Kahului and Paia.
In his case, however, the bicycle suf-
fered the greater damage and the auto
mobilist made reparation by purchasing
him new bicycle
John Correira, a veteran luna of the
Paia plantation was saved from pain
full death Thursday, April IL, by the
prompt action of bystanders. He fell
headlong into a vat of hot tar, had the
presence of mind to hold his breath
and keep his eyes closed and was pulled
which may possibly result in a slight

would have been an easy matter to have
expressed the idea to be conveyed by
the agreement in reference to the dis
position of any interest in the partner
ship of John M. Horner & Sons by
covenant running with the property
assigned in the instrument. That was
not done, and the instrument is abb
solutely silent as to any limitation of
the property assigned and transferred.
1t is only fair to assume that the par
ties didn't intend so to limit it.
"There have been exceptions, it is
true, where agreements such as that
referred to in the bill have been upheld
by the courts, but those have been
under exceptional circumstances and
upon clear and convincing proof; and
do not think that the evidence shows
in the case at bar such exceptional
circumstances, nor is the proof clear
and convincing with the establishment
of such an assumption.
In my Judgment the respondent is
entitled to a judgment and decree of
this court in accordance with the
prayer contained in his answer; and
that the injunction be dissolved and
the bill dismissed
The agreement as testified to by the
plaintiff was that none of the original
family holders of the stock would sell
any shares in the corporation to any
outsider, without first offering the stock
to other members of the family, at the
price which any outsider was willing to
pay. Robert Horner denied the exist
enee of any such agreement.
Is Certainly Bankrupt.
John D. Holt was adjndged bank
lupt in the federal court yesterday
morning. The Territory of Hawaii was
his principal creditor A short state
ment showed that he owed in taxes,
dating back to 1900, the sum of
$3673.l0, and owed $l532.5s to other
creditors, and had not cent of assets.
1t took about thirty entries of the word
''none' to show that John D. had
nothing with which to satisfy his
creditors, including the Territory. The
tax bills which are set forth as liabil-
tiles begin with the sum of S7s6.10 in
1900 and continue for eight years until
the sum of 1868 is piled up. Accord
ing to the petition, there is no real
estate, no property of any kind, to
meet the debts.

Some time ago rumors reached the

and that those who were sick and in

given much attention, and were allowed
