President H.. r. T. & L. G.
kiott.smlth,s Statement

Mott-Smltn'S statement
Discussing Mr.. Peck's communities
ton, Secretary E. A. Mott-Smith said
today: -
at is so denominated in the bond.
says Mr.. Peck in today's issue OF the
Advertiser; and, to all appearances,
he is correct. For instance the Rapid
Transit Company borrows $690,000
which it puts into its plant, thereby
Increasing the cost of the property by
that amount. Thereupon the COM
pany may issue stock to its stock
holders to the amount of 125 per cent
of said $690,00o, which the stock
holders do not have to pay for, but
may receive for nothing because that
sum represents an increase in the
cost of the property. That is all de-
nominated In the bond. But that is
not enough. There is something else
.. in the bond" which insures the
stockholders of getting, when the
franchise expires. the full par value
for the stock which they have not
paid for, and which they can sell at
pretty fair figure today. This is
contained in the provision for sink
ing fund to not only retire the $780,.
600 bonds, hut the $e90.000 tand "a
per cent additionally stock issued on
the strength of borrowing $690.00O
which has gone into the cost OF the
plant. Then again there is sometime
which is not in the bond" In the
original franchise there is no provi-
sion for the disposal of the property
representing all this outlay at the end
of the franchise. There is certainly
no direct provision that the property
shall pass out of the hands of the
stockholders into the hands of the
territory may be then, that at the
end of the franchise. the stockholders
will receive 100000 for stock which
! they never paid for and retain as well
the property represented by the out
lay of this 100000 of borrowed
money. That omission from the
/, "bond" adds a very interesting fea-
tura to the proposition rs a matter OF
financeering and a comfortable assnr-
once to the matter as an investment.
, But there is just little doubt as to
The legal effect of such omission. SO

Rapid Transit Company's bilD is in
tIoduced, which provides that after
January, 1910, the territory may ter
minat, the right o. the holder of the
franchise to use the public streets.
etc, by paying such holder the cost

plus existing indebtedness-and get
the property No, not on your life
get only the privilege of terminating
the use of the streets. etc. The prop
erty apparently remains with the COM
pany, an established going concern in
fine shape, to whom not to again give

district court. where Mrs. Taylor was
9rraigned before Judge Clemens. 1t
developed in the court that Attorney
Frank Thompson will act as lawyer
for the defendant. Upon his applica-
ton, the former stewardess was given
her liberty upon her own recogniz-
ance. She will appear in court Fri
day morning at ten o'clock to plead
guilty or not guilty to the charge
brought against her. ..
May Plead Ignorance. ..
Although it is not definitely known
what line of defense will be taken up
in Mrs. Taylor's behalf, it is under
stood from statements made at the
time of her arrest that she will plead
ignorance of the contents of the box
which was delivered by her to Mr.. and
Mrs. E. w. Bishop, tourists stopping
at local hotel, and which was later
found to contain enough of the poppy
drug to keep an ordinary hop joint"
running for some months. 1t is al
legged by the many friends Of Mrs.
Taylor in Honolulu that she merely
acted as carrier of the box for some
people on the Mongolia whose identity
has been kept secret, and that she had
no intention of trying to smuggle the
opium. The local authorities declare,
however, that the woman smuggled
the opium past the customs officers
at the wharf by concealing it in her
clothing and that she then visited
local department store and transferred
the drug into the box in which 1t was
discovered. ..@..

terest 1t is to be observed that un-
Ger this arrangement the existing in.
debtedness which may have already
been paid for by its equivalent in
stock plus 25 per cent? is again paid
for in the exercise of the privilege
above described -.....
THAT bond operates peculiarly
too, in regard to the $70,000-SS0, 000
contributed by the Manoa and Kai
muki people for extensions of the line
into their respective districts. 1t is
possible, but not probable, that this
sum may be added to the cost of the
property and an equivalent amount in
stock, plus 20 per cent, presented to
the long-suffering and waiting stock
holders because of this gift from out
siders. At any rate that is logically
possible under the denominations OF
the bond as described by Mr.. Peck
Certainly the people of Manoa and OF
Kaimuku land l am one of the latter
sot no stock for their outlay.
Nov, taking Mr.. Peck's own fig
ures. He intimates, that 1857 900 com
mon stock and $350,000 preferred
stock were paid for in cash. 1t is
presumed that since the preferrwed
stock reached $350,000 there have
been no increases therein up to 1912,
and that the preferred stock reached
that figur prior to 1903. Hence it is
presumed that the increases in stock
up. to 1912 have been in common
stock Now what has happened:

Nov, my idea of railway fran
ehise is that the investor should be
assured of the return Of his entire
capital at the end of the franchise,
plus a reasonable rate of interest
yearly; the public Of an up-to-date
service with justifiable extensions
from time to time; then, after salts
flying the two foregoing demands, a

between the holder OF the franchise
