ANCIENT STOCK
UNCOVERED, NAY
Be WORTHLESS

Finding in the property OF an es-
tate which was believed to be insol
vent two stock certificates OF the
Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Com
pany, both of the original issue and
yellow from age. Eugene Murphy, OF
Wailuku. an attorney for John B.
Kerr In whose custody the estate has
been placed, has come to Honolulu to
ascertain whether the certificates he
holds are valueless or worth small
fortune.
Mr.. Murphy arrived from Wailuku
this morning and probably will confer
with Alexander & Baldwin, agents for
the plantation company. The stock.
as is shown by the certificates. was
issued in 1892 and on 1t two dividends
Eave been paid. Since 1892 the COM
;,any has passed through rough and
smooth waters, its stocks have risen
and fallen, assessments have been
levied, and many dividends declared.
The par value of the stock was at
800 in 1892
Murphy feels reasonably sure that the
forty shares are worth $4,000. The
agents, on the other hand, have their
doubts whether the stock is worth the
paper it is written on. They point
out the assessments which have been
levied and were not paid, by the own
er of the certificates, and state upon
this ground-the failure to pay the
leyies-that the rights of the hold
er of the certificates are forfeited.
IF Mr.. Murphy win come up here
we will show him in short order
where his stock is worthless" said
one of the officials in the firm Of Alex
ander & Baldwin this morning.

M'CANDLESS IN
ASYLUM Still
FACES PRISON

No matter how long George Nc
Candless is held at the insane asylum
as a result of Circuit Judge Robin
sons order yesterday. he win still
be subject to the cumulative sentence
OF four years imprisonment fixed by
the district court several days ago.
when he is released from the asylum.
In other words, IL the youth is de-
tanned at lie asylum for the next ten
years and finally discharged by the
medical authorities of that institution
as cured. he must return to prison TO
serve his four years.
Circuit Judge Robinson had no au-
thority to alter the penal sentence,
which already had been imposed by a
court of competent jurisdiction. All
he was called upon to do, and all he
had authority TO do, was tc- say whe-
ther the boy was fit subject Tor the
asylum and to commit him.
That was all he did, though in com
menting on. the case the Judge stated
that the committal did not vitiate the
sentence previously imposed by the
other court This means that the on
ly way McCandless can escape the
service of the penal sentence is by re-
naming in the asylum the balance OF
his life or obtaining a pardon or
parole from the governor.

SCHOOL MOVING
scheme CAUSES
MUCH TROUBLE

When the board Of supervisors hit
upon the apparently simple and mex
pensive scheme OF moving the Hawai-
hapai school 10 KawaiIoa, for reason
which seemed as valid as the plan
was simple, it did not reckon that
there would be troubles and that it
would require negotiating and COM
promising TO get the structure moved.
But out the blue sky protests have
come, which were mentioned at the
meeting Of the supervisors yesterday
afternoon, and now concessions are
about to be made to the protestants.
The protests are based on con-
tract, a contract not of record or in
writing, but nevertheless a contract.
or a gentlemen's agreement, maybe:
and according to the terms of it. the
supervisors have no right to move
the school building The protestants
claim that when they gave the prop
erty for the use of the county it was
agreed that aftey thirty years the
building should be presented to the
grantors Of the school premises.
4 4ONSn IccHcClAu6 IN tnCy oAC ~
luctant in giving up the proposition Of
moving the school. and overtures for
a compromise have been made. The
compromise is well advanced now, and
by the time of the next meeting
Tuesday eyening-it is expected that
q settlement will have been made.
The protestants. in consideration of
having the structure taken from them,
have asked 500 and also the small
'lean-on'' building The supervisors
erel no wabout to offer them 500
without the 'lean-on" building which
they wish to keep as il cost two or
three hundred dollars to erect
The reason for wishing to move the
school is that there are only about ten
pupils attending it at its present 10
cation. while there are fifty pupils in
the neighborhood Of Kawailoa.
