a representative of the Star Bulletin
the benefits of the local system
THE first duty of any trust com
pany," Mr. Gait pointed out. lis TO
invest the money entrusted to ii at
the earliest possible opportunity The
trust companies of Hawaii are able to
do this because all money in their
charge is deposited in the banks.
Therefore, whenever the money is
wanted for investment il is only ne
cessary to draw a check upon the
banks and draw out the funds.
Trust companies on the mainland,
who carry on a banking business, are
too apt, it is thought, to use the mo-
ney entrusted to them in their bank
ing department in time of financial
stringency In this way the money
is not promptly invested and the es-
tates interested lose all interest on
investment for considerable periods of
time
Periods of financial stringency
have no effect, whatever upon our To-
cal trust companies because We are
at liberty at any time to draw funds
from the banks no matter how tight
the money market may be-
1T would be surprising to most
people" concluded Mr.: Gait, ito know
of the amount of capital which is in
vested every year by trust companies
in the Territory. The Hawaiian Trust
Company alone, the last fiscal year,
was trustee for investments valued at
over s9,000,000. This sum is prob
ably more than the combined capital
and assets of all the banks in Ha-

as to the identity of certain material
used by orientals in seeking solace
through the pipe.
Confronted by a picturesque though
odorous array of paraphernalia dear to
the heart of the devotee of the poppy
Juice, presented with expert testi-
mony from a Chinese rated by the
prosecution as an expert and
greeted by authentic accounts OF the
arrest of one or more offenders,
charged with a violation of the new
act passed by the last legislature
making the possession of opium an
offense against the law, Judge Mon
sarrat notified Prosecuting Attorney
Brown that he would reserve deci-
sion for a few days in the case of a
Chinese.
Among 2 dozen Chinese who were
placed under arrest by Chief of De-
tectives McDuffie, Deputy Kellett,
Officers Apana and Olson last night.
Kwong .Tae was brought before the
magistrate for a hearing.
Declaring his innocence, the Chi
nese was arraigned. Testimony from
the prosecution was in effect that the
article smoked in the pipe by the de-
PENDANT who is alleged to have been
caught in the act, was known as yen

Police Upheld in

Los ANGELES, Cal. Dec. H.-The po-
lice were justified yesterday in dispensing
the meeting of 1000 unemployed men at
the plaza. at a cost OF the life OF one,
the arrest of seventy-five and the club
blng of many others, according to the
decision of the public welfare committee

That decision was reached late today
after an official investigation of the af-
fair, which convinced the committee that

lie meeting which was being held without

1t was decided to issue complaints to-
morrow charging disturbance of the peace
against thirty-two of the seventy five
arrested, the belief being that It would
be easier to obtain convictions upon that
charge than upon rioting.
A more serious charge, probably as
sault with a deadly weapon. will be
placed against Jesus Sovia, the Mexican
accused of having stabbed Police Lieu

board for any length OF time without
bitter disagreement, has finally risen in

Further the board is holding up nearly
$4,000 due Hanighen in an attempt to
force him to put up a 5000 bond to
guarantee the north half OF the big main
for five years, claiming tho pipe was
not properly riveted.
Hanighen contends he is not legally or

mand, and may test the autocratic au-

Hnnighen Makes Reply.
Referring to the demand for 5000
bond Hanighen said to the board:
"The rivets are tight. 1t is a perfect
Job and now l do not feel that my COM
pany should be compelled to pay the
premium OF a bond. and hold itself liable
for five years for this pipe, which has
stood a pressure OF 227 pounds, and has
been accepted"
Howell said:
1--WE had an expert go over every
joint in the pipe and he said a third of
the rivets were improperly driven"
Hanighen replied;
1.-The expert was q member Of the firm
of Drake Williams & Mount, who are my
competitors, and who lost out on the job
in the bidding. 1 cannot see why this
firm or any member of It should be
called in to pass judgment on my work.
Anyway, you had two inspectors on the
work constantly one inside the pipe and
one outside. II the work was not done
well the time to have corrected II was
then, not after the ditch has been filled. "
Hanighen said he d d promise to give
q 5000 bond, but declared he was forced
to make the promise, as Howell refused
to turn on the water and test the pipe
unless he first promised to guarantee It
for five years.
Il am told this expert from the firm of
my competitors spent just thirty-five
minutes inspecting the riveting." said
Hanighen, "and the fact that he con-
demned a third of the rlveting indicates
that he is prejudiced."
Howell exhibited some of the rivets,
which he said had not been driven
straight, and would therefore soon
rust away and cause leaks. Hanighen
said they would hold just as long as II
they had been driven straight, and fur
