Chinese Asks Damages for the
Death Of Young Son Through
Elevator accident

Asking $4,000 damages from the
Alexander, Young Building Company
for the death Of his son, who was
killed in the elevator of the Young
hotel on November 13, 1911, All Kwai
zee Wo, a Chinese merchant, has be

before a jury in Circuit Judge Dick
ey's court. The hearing probably will
continue several days.
Caught in4athe narrow space be-
tween the elevator and the elevator
shaft, the little body of the 5-year-old
boy, Lew All Kwai, was crushed, the
cage shot upward from the first floor,
the mangled corpse falling into the
basement. The accident occurred at
the makai entrance to the hotel build

In his opening address to the jury,
Attorney E. M. Watson OF. Thompson,
Wilder, Watson & Lymer, represent
ing the plaintiff, said the father was
not asking pecuniary assuagement for
the grief and anguish caused TO him
self and family by the boys death,
but sought damages from a purely

FOR MILITIA
Lieutenant Bump HIS Plan to
Bring National G,Ards Up
to Full StrelBth

In case a portion of ae soldiers on
Oahu should be called out by the
United States governhe to assist
in the impending MexIean trouble, II
would be necessary I that time to
have ihe national guaA Of Hawaii re-
cruited up to comeete regimental
standing, according b Lieut.. Arthur
Bump, inspector instructor of the 10
cal militia, who, win Col. John w.
Jones, is making arrangements for
the organization of three new COM
panies. If the Iocd guard would re-
tain it's regimental standing, IL must
form these compates before Decem-
Der /, and a list al names of a num-
ber of prominent bcal men'is being
drawn up, these Zen to be called
upon and asked tQ join the guard and
become commissihe officers OF the
new companies.
Among those Iersons who will be
asked to head thi new companies are
A. l.. Castle. Pail Super. Charles H.
Atherton, Frank IHoogs and A. L. C..
Atkinson. Mind commissioned off,
GERS will be NECESSARY. and the guard
is also lacking Two majors. Such Of
these persons fho join the guard to
become oficerk will be required to
take certain examinations as provid-
ed by the law The section OF the
laws of the jational guard covering
this point saIs
"Commissided officers must be
citizens of te United States and not
less than Isl years of age. Officers

Mould Make Many Changes on
Line OF Speed Laws of
Wisconsin

Almost ready now TO be introduced
before the board Of supervisors, p. Z.
Weaver. .first deputy city and county
attorney. Is completing trafic law
for Oahu which IL reported to be BY
Ear the best ever written for Homo
lulu Many Of its provisions are based
On the Wisconsin speed laws, which
are known over the country for their
success. Is
For weeks Attorney weaver has
been working on this ordinance. It
wIll call for many changes In regu-
lating Che speed Of vehicles, their
right OF way, etc. One of the promi,
nent features is that the law calls for
but enc front light for an automobile
in place Of two, and the speed Of the
machine while travelling at night Is
regulated by the distance this light
win show an object the size of a man
in front Of the machine "
There are other features OF the or
dinance, discussed by. Attorney Wea-
yer tn an interview appearing below.
To his mind, one OF the most impor.
tant changes he plans to make In the
present law relates to the right of
way He fixes one simple rule, apply.
ing AT all places over the island. II
is called the left and right rule"
The following is his interview:
VIII Be ImnroTemeHt
Tho police department has pro-
posed number of changes to the
present ordinance, many Of which
have already drawn up All of them,
I believe, will be an Improvement On
the nresent law
''The present law is very complete
In certain RESPECTS, and We can learn
nothing more from the study of other
ordinances where the general rules
of the road are set forth, except those
in which experience has proved that
some alterations should be made.
Il have made a thorough study of
ordinance IL with the improvements
proposed by the police department
In my proposed ordinance about all
these suggestions will be included
many of which have alreaTv been
preDared by me after a study of other
ordinances.
Our ordinance is defective in not
requiring more rigid qualifications for
persons driving automobiles. Such
persons should be in all respects
able-bodied with good eyesight and
hearing.
t..Another defect is the way the
speed of'automohiles running at night
is limited. ! propose to coDy a sys.
tenn by which the automobiles must
be regulated according to the distance
which the front lights of the vehicle
will show on the road in front of the
machine. This seems to me a more
logical method than any limit oil
actual speed.
Il have noted that the old ordinance
is not sufficiently specific as to how
the number on an automobile is to be
placed and kept where II is visible
when running under road conditions

The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1913-05-23

various states and cities of the EN-
pire have been on exhibition in well
guarded room of the Imperial palace
for several days, but only to the mem
bers of the court and some privileged
visitors. The aggregate value of the
jewels and other gifts is estimated at
$1,O00,OO0, but the most princely gift
OF all, it is believed, will be the gift
of Emperor William, consisting Of
the crown Of the Grand Duchy Of
Brunswick to which will be added a
considerable slice of the old king
dom of Hanover, now Prussian prov
ince, including the district of Luene-
burg.
This arrangement will bring TO
most delicious ending the feud be-
tween the Hohenzollern and the Guel-
phs which for more that fifty years
has caused great deal of fiction in
European politics and has greatly
complicated the political relations be-
tween Germany and England. The
feud dates back to the time of George
l., who, when he succeeded to the Eng
fish throne was both Duke of Bruins
wick-Lueneburg and King Of Hanover.
At that time there was oGerman
Empire, and the Duchy and the King
dom were independent states in which
their rulers held large property and
revenue rights. There was another
house Of ck-Wolfenbuettel,
which terminated, however, In 1874 by
the death of the last Duke, William,
Duke Of Brunswick The Dukedom
was then claimed by the house OF
Notwithstanding, which is now
represented by Duke Ernest August,
Duke Of Cumberland and Duke Of
Notwithstanding. the father Of
Prince Ernest of Cumberland. Pc
litical complications caused the Germ
an Emperor to oppose the succession
of the Duke of Cumberland to the title
OF King of Hanover and to the en-
joyment of the possession of the Duke
of Brunswick. All efforts Of mediation
by the late King Edward proved with
out avail and II win remove a great
deal Of Ill feeling and bitterness II
the young Prince Is restored to the
title and possession denied to his
father.

NEW YORK ABANDoNs
SANE CELEBRATION

New York, May 23.-The proposed
Fourth of July in New York may be
abandoned through the failure of the
city to make an appropriation to bear
the expenses. The finance committee
of the board of aldermen voted unani-
mously not to approve the proposed
appropriation Of $4,000, on the ground
that the city could not afford at this
time to deplete its special revenue
fund for celebration. There is still
chance that the board of estimates
will act but II that body fails to make
the appropriation there may be no
celebration, as Herman Ridder, presi-
dent of Mayor Gaynor's Fourth of
July committee, has declared he will
abandon the scheme rather than ap-
peal for public subscriptions.
