AWARD IS MADE
IN MAHUKA CASE
Jury Finds Value Of the Office
Supply Company Site to
Be S49,872.0O.

After considering the testimony in
the third Mahuka site case for FIVE
hours yesterday, the jury fixed the sum
which the government should pay for
the site and improvements occupied by
the Office Supply Co., at $49,sT2. The
Jury retired at the conclusion of the
arguments at half-past nine clock yes.
terday morning and brought in the yer.
diet shortly after two O'Clock, when
Judge Dole was summoned from mis-
home to receive it.
The award is said to be something
like $4,000 less than Attorney Olson,
for the owners, expected. District At
torney Breckons for the government,
had expected it to be $4,000 and was
not far off in his estimate.
OF the total amount, $3.50 is awarded
the Office Supply Co. for its leasehold
interest, and the balance goes to the
heirs of the Austin Estate.
Attorney Olson for the owners took
exceptions to the verdict and gave no
tice of motion for a new trial. Deputy
United States Attorney Billings, who
was present when the verdict was rea I,
also took exceptions to the finding,
merely, as he stated, to KEEP the record
clear. After court had adjourned, he
said that he considered the verdicts TO
be fair to both the government and the
owners.
The highest value on the property a.
placed by witnesses, was the estimate
of Expert Reidford for the owners, Of
$74,403. The lowest was $2T ,775 by
Deputy Tax Assessor Medley for the
government.
For the next two weeks criminal cases
will keep the United States court bus
and it is not believed that the last Ma.
huka site case, that of the f. o. Hall
site and building, win be reached be
fore some time in December.

ARRA|GNS KUHIO

McCandIess Is Confident of His
Election as a Rebuke
to Delegate.

"Link" McCandless wore that smile
of his yesterday, only just little bit
accentuated, reminding his friends of
that of his brother, "SunnX Jim' Nc
Candless. But "Link' McCandless
felt as though he had a special right to
wear it on account of the news of how
things were going in his race as can.

many sources came information which
tends to show that there will be large
sized surprise in store for those who
assert that Kuho will carry all before
him today.
81 am very much encouraged by the
reports which l have received from all
over the Territory" said Mr.. McCand-
| less, yesterday. 81 believe that the
trickery of Kuhio during the past
eighteen months here and in Washing
ton, where he was practically RESPONSE
BILE for the passage in the house of the
Underwood Free Sugar Bill, will be re-
buked at the polls by those who realize
the circumstances. AS for the political
trick which was perpetrated few days
ago of sending wireless messages to
other islands that l had withdrawn as
candidate for Delegate to Congress, |
feel sure that there Will be many who
will resent such tactics in the most en-
phatic manner at the polls today.
Messages have now been sent by
some big people here, | am informed, to
some of the larger plantations through
out the Territory, requesting support
for me, and l feel certain that the re-
suits will be shown this evening when
the returns begin to come in. 1t will
mean something of a surprise to those
who have been told that Kuhio would
make clean sweep of the outside dis
tricts, and had believed that bluff. / am
confident not only of making an excel
lent showing, but of winning the cleo
ton, for this is Democratic year, and

Dwelling more particularly upon the
record of Kuhio in connection with the

ADAMS TAKES PLACE
OF BISHOP ON HAWAII
Is Now Chief Engineer of Belt
Road Commission-Busy
Session Held.
Mail special to Tie Advertiserl

(Mail Special to Tie Advertiser)
HILO, November 3.-M. J. Adams,
who for long time past has been Chief
Engineer Bishops righthand man on
the road commission staff, was yester-
day selected by the commissioners to
succeed Bishop. The meeting of the
commission was attended by Commits
sioners Horner, Carter and Lewis, and
One of the first was protest which
had been signed by eighteen Napoopoo
men, against the construction of a
wooden building at, Napoopoo, district
! of South Kona, upon the ground that
there was an understanding among the
members of the senate, that the school
house to be built was to be of concrete
! instead of wood.
! Carter moved that Commissioner
Hind be appointed committee of one
to look into this kick and report at the
next meeting. He added that it APP
peared to him on the face of things that
the kick was unreasonable, as it would
4 be impossible to build a concrete build
ing out of the money included in the
appropriation.
Lewis said that if it was the inten.
! ton to build the school at all it should
be built now. He had been in Napoopoo
for four months and was in a position
to state that most of the people there
did not want the matter postponed. On
this showing Carter withdrew his me-
ton.
! Horner added that he had had task
with the Governor, who had said tho
commission had better go ahead and Jet
the contract. This action was accord
ingly taken, and the contract was let to
Kanuha, the lowest bidder.
The contract for the construction of
the section of road between the Mud
Lane junction and the Ahualoa gate
was let to the Arioli brothers, who were
the lowest bidders.
Carter brought up the fact that a
chief engineer must be appointed to
take the place of Bishop. He moved
that Adams be appointed at salary OF
$500 month, and this carried.
/ Mr.. Young, of Lord & Young Com
pany, brought up question in regard
to the foundation for the new UnioT
:. school. He was satisfied, he said, t.
take Bishops. say as final, and it wal
decided to send for Architect Ripley, Of
Honolulu, who designed the schoo
plans, in order that he might be con
suited.
Homer stated, after the meeting, tina
the Governor had now made sufiieien
! money available to carry out all tn
work projected between Hilo and Wal
| mea, and, in addition thereto, the Ka,
lava flow section. The next, and final
! lump of belt road money for this islam
would become available next septem
? Der, when there would be about $50
! 900 TO $4,000 coming. II was likel,
that this would be spent on the Keea
moku road, the only other section TO
: which survey had been made.

NEW YORK, November l.-tspecial
to The Advertiser) Stocks were ex.
ceedingly duh and decidedly, weak in
the early part of today s session. The
Balkan Mountain States complications
caused further uneasiness abroad, and
the eve of the presidential election here
was largely responsible for apathy
shown. Canadian Pacific was weakest
of the standard railway shares, with
moderate firmness in Chicago, Milwau-
kee & st. Paul, and the Hill issues were
up a point. Among the specialties a
short slump of five points occurring in
American Beet Sugar, three in Ameri-
can Sugar Refining and two in Ameri-
can Can were conspicuous features.
Money opened at seven per cent.
Bonds were easy. st. Paul advanced
two points, and tine rest of the list also
strengthened in the noon hour. Trad
ing, however, continued nominal Fur
Their improvement was noted in the later
trading. The Hill stocks added to their
early gains, with moderate activity in
Union Pacific and United States Steel
at better prices.

The day before election in Honolulu
is like the day before Christmas SO far
as trading in stocks is concerned. There
were some advances and a few sales. On
the board Oahu advanced to 1925 and
then dropped to 26.00, but was strong
at that figure. There was such brisk
demand for Hawaiian Pineapple that
the stock went to 1850 and is very firm
There was a rumor that a melon is
