By the mornings mail the Attorney
Generals department received a copy
of the decision of Judge Parsons in
regard to the Henderson homestead
case. The decision is a lengthy docu-
ment and synopsis is only possible
to print:
In this case, Judge Parsons decides
that all the obligations upon the part
of the homesteader in regard to cul-
tivation, maintenance of a home and
planting and care of trees, have been
substantially complied with, and that
the hd1nesteader is entitled to receive
patent for the land
The facts in the case, as shown by
the evidence, are that on the day that
Henderson got his cash freehold
agreement from the Government, he
entered into a written contract with
the plantation, whereby he was to
plant cane on the land and sell the
same to the plantation at a specified
figure per ton of cane.
! The contract contained the provi5
ion that in case the homesteadel
! failed, or was unable to do the work
required. on the homestead, the plan
tation should furnish mules and men
materials, etc, and should charge VI
the cost of this to the hOmesteader
and when the crop was harvested, the
plantation should be reimbursed TO.
/ its outlay and the balance paid to the
homesteader
On the same day, however, that the
foregoing contract was entered into
a new verbal agreement was made bJ
the parties which provided that il
lieu of the terms of the written con
tract referred to, the plantation should
pay to the homsteader the sum of five
dollars per acre per annum for the
land. In other words, a lease, pure
and simple, was made by the home
steader to the plantation of the land
and the homesteader was to receive
five dollars per acre for his lant
whether cane was planted or not, o

COUNTY FINANCES
OF BIG ISLAND

Governor Frear is in receipt of a
report on the finances of the county
of Hawaii AS the compiling of the
figures sent in will take some time,
the full details cannot at present be
given out. However, enough is known
to show that while there was an in
crease in the revenues during 1911,
as compared with 1910, there was no
decrease in the expenditures.
Also, unlike Maui, there is no large
balance on hand to carry on the work
of the county till the next taxes be,
gin TO come in. Hawaii is so large
that the expenditure is great, while
the revenue is not correspondingly
large
However, while there was debt ol
S57,pOC at the beginning of 1911, there
is now a surplus, and it is hoped that
conditions will begin to improve, and
that the county will come out better
at ;he end of this year.

WHAT JUDGE PARSONS DECIDED
IN HENDERSON HOMESTEAD CASE

whatever the outcome of the crop
should be,
The Territory has contended that
such an agreement was a violation of
the land laws; that the law contem-
plated that the homesteader should
either do the work himself personally
or through hired servants. The Ter
ritory contends that the homesteader
has not done any cultivation on the
land, and that the cultivation which
has been done by the plantation has
been for it's own benefit, and not for
the benefit of the homesteader. The
court, however, overrules the conten-
tion of the Territory, and holds that
the law does not contemplate that the
homesteader himself, or through his
agents, shall cultivate, and as long as
the cultivation is done, it matters not
lby whom the law is satisfied.
AS to the maintenance of a home
the court finds that Henderson has
substantially complied with the law
in this respect. AS to the planting
and care of trees, Henderson had d
certain number of natural trees grow
ing in a gulch on his land, and the
court has held that this satisfies tho
tree planting clause.

AS FEW CASES
AS POSSIBLE

The question of how many separate
trials there shall be to settle the Ma
huka site controversy was debated at
considerable length before Judge Dole
this morning. The attorneys repre-
senting the various respondents stood
out for separate trials in each case,
but this did not appeal to the Judge,
who said that in his opinion it would
be unwise to have so many trials.
He thought that the interests of each

Hawaiian Bananas
Unfairly y Treated
In San Francisco

Fruit Company, were selling their
bananas at $1.20 a hundredweght,
which is FIVE cents less than the cost
of transporting these bananas from
New Orleans, where the ships from
the mosquito coast deposit their
cargo, to the coast. This means that
the big fruit trust, which pays 17B
cents a bunch for bananas in Central
America, pays a caretaker to attend
the shipments of bananas and main
tains steamers for the transfer Of
their fruit are willing to dispense
with profit and cost as well and sell
for the freight rate, to undersell and
exclude from the market some obnox-
ious rivab whether it is Hawaii or
Mexico.
This throws light on one rumor. It
has also been said here among ba-
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1912-02-10

That the banana growers and ship
pers, who only recover from one blow
to receive another, are facing a more
serious menace in their Coast trade
than mosquito crusaders, scale, insects
and evil shipping facilities, is evinced
by the persistent rumors, partially
confirmed by shippers and agricultural
authorities, of a market squeeze" in
California which the United Fruit
Company is said to be executing at
the present time.
Edward L. Marshall, who has been
shipping bananas from this port for
thirtyone years and has done much
to raise the standard of the exported
Hawaiian banana, returned recently

BIRDSEYE WORKING
ON KILAUEA MAP

Governor Frear received a letter
from Professor Jaeger this morning,
and in it the man who is studying
the volcano of Kilauea stated that he
and Topographer Birdseye were start
ing out on the work of mapping the
crater of Kilauea and the surrounding
country that it is intended to con-
vert into a national park.
When the Kilauea park is all map
ped out a start will be made on
Mauna Loa, and the Hilo side of the
famous mountain will be dealt with.
Topographer Birdseye shifted his
camp from Hakalau this week, and
he is now established at Kilauea. He
expects that the work of mapping the
proposed national park will take some
months. EP'

mana dealers that the underselling
campaign is a result of the failure of
the United Fruit Company agents
who were here less than a year ago
to corner and divert to their own
trade the Hawaiian output. 1t is also
said that the West Indian and Cen
tral American bananas which come
into California are infected with pests
and insects just as the Hawaiian
fruit is infected, but that there is a
discrimination in favor of the big
trust on the part of the inspectors
and against Hawaii. Upon this ques-
ton Horticulturist j. f. Higgins of

Kualii.
Viii confessed that she had violated
the laws of the United States by
marrying" Kualii while she yet had
husband and had no use for him.
She had searched the Scriptures dill

eation by which the Lord command
ed her to take unto her as husband
Kualii who was by rights the King
of Hawaii. This she had done, and
she defied the court to charge her
with wrongdoing therefor.
UIi admitted that, according to the
laws of the United States, she was
an adultress, but, she said, Kualii,
her royal husband, was pure and un-
defled She was already married
when she married him, but he had no
wife, and he had merely obeyed the
divine command in taking her to
wife.

pointment of the Lord and without

them, one r. w. Breckons, emissary

NO SIGNIFICANCE IN CRUISE

Especial cablegram to the starr

ed to be any undue haste about the
work. Some of the carpenters from
the South Dakota were busy building
a stage on the Naval wharf for a box
ing bout to be pulled off this after
noon. Several officers from the West
Virginia went away shortly before
ten o'clock to play golf, so it did not
look as though the West Virginia
was going to leave Immediately al
all events.
In spite Of what Admiral Thomas
has said, there are still some who
pretend to know more than the Ad-
miral. But the strange part of it is
that it is entirely against the asser-
ton that the West Virginia is going
away on a secret cruise in so great
hurry that everyone is at fever heat

she is not going al Ill, not even with

Cleveland arrives, and does not wan
to go to the trouble of shifting to an

that he wishes the West Virginia t.
