are found to be SO.
The bank, in case it is found by a
court that it has to pay back amounts
of money cashed on Illegal warrants,
still has other recourse The opinion
of attorneys is almost unanimous that
the liability of the bank will, to use
the expression of the lawyers, subro-
gate to the bondsmen. In other words
in case the bank has to pay back all
the county warrants ever cashed,
which were not authorized by the
county supervisors, it still has case
against the Mcguire bondsmen, al
though it may raise,a fine question of
law that it will take months to decide
in the courts.
There is another probability which
the special prosecutor of the territory
is not willing, or ready to be quoted
upon. That the bondsmen of Mcguire
are liable, should circumstance prove
he is guilty of embezzlement, is adj

is about $4,000, and it lies entirely
with the attorney general whether he
shall attempt to recover just proper

the balance, up to their liability, from
the bondsmen; or that he recover

Especial Star-Bulletin Correspondence
HlLO, May 9.-Believing the redac
ton of the sugar tariff, and the pas.
sage of the anti-alien land bill by the
California legislature, are matters OF
vast and intimate Importance to them,
the Japanese residents Of the Island
of Hawaii have cabled a respectful
protest to President Wilson. asking
that the duty on sugar be retained and
that congress carefully consider the
California land bill.
This action was taken as q result
of mass meeting in the Yamato
Theater last Sunday night, at which
there were Japanese and American
speakers. The mass meeting call was
issued by the Japanese Young Mems
Association. 1t was brought about to
certain extent by the statements OF
Bishop Restarick in his letter TO Sena-
tor Works of California regarding the
probability OF the islands becoming
Orientalized in case the tariff was
taken off sugar Also by similar re-
marks of Delegate Kuhio, q week ago
before the committee OF the whole Of
the house of representatives. Another
reason was the belief that the JaDan-
csc have as much at stake as any
other residents of the islands in the
event of a sugar tariff reduction
The message to President Wilson.
which was sent Oh Wednesday, read
IS follows:
President Wilson, Washington. d. c.
"Japanese residents of the county Of
Hawaii humbly request that the sugar
tariff be retained. Congress is re-

for instance. to the laws for the open

In the future A number Of other bills
were passed transferring additional
powers and duties especially in con-
nection with streets and other public
works, from the territory to the coun-
ties and city and county and defining
more clearly the respective functions
OF the central and local governments.
Provision was made also for transfer
ring the Honolulu water and sewer
works to the City and County of Homo
lulu. Although a bill for the estab-
lishment of cash basis fund I'm each
county and city and county failed,
provision was finally passed provid-

County OF Honolulu With the con
slant development and increase OF the
powers of these local governments.
there may reasonably be expected an
increase in interest in cnem on the
part of all good citizens. The admin
istration of the local governments
touches more and more at every turn
not only the pockets but the comfort
of the people in their daily life, and
the people will therefore be compelled

session. There was not sufficient time
to give the matter all the attention
that it deserved. and the discussions
upon it will help greatly in framing
a bill for the next session.
THE socIAL-WELFARE GROUP
The social welfare group comprises
o number of desirable measures.
There is the act in regard to the de-
sertion Of wives and children by hus-
bands and fathers, and the bastardy
act Tor compelling fathers to support
their illegitimate children. The age
CT consent for marriage was raised
from / and Il to IS and 10 years for
males and females respectively. The
age for the nomination of guardians
by infants was raised from L. to 16.
The age of a female below which it is
made a felony for Il male to have in
tercourse with her was raised from a
to IL years. The employment of fe-
males under 16 years of age after 3

The Industrial group is the one for

which Secretary Fisher, as a result
of his investigation, picked ont as the
greatest need i. the way of legislation

also for the purpose OF bringing under
this utilities act all the public utilities

PLAN ID REVISE THE BASEBALL
 RULE BOOK
CFrom Saturdays Daily)


 CHICAGO. Aug. 30.-Comment among baseball men on the sug- gestion made by President Com isky of the White Sox to turn the playing rules over to con- vention of managers, umpires and newspapermen for revision has been almost unanimously favorable.
 In the discussion provoked by the plan some difference of opin- ion as to details has been expressed, but in the main the idea has been hailed as the best solution Of the difficulty yet suggested.
 President Murphy of the Cubs, in a statement made today, strongly approved the main idea and added a few suggestions of his own as to time and place of holding the convention, but questioned the ad- visibility of some of the details, such as the size of proposed gath ering. Murphy said a convention should be held this winter along the lines indicated. SO that in 1914 the playing rules can be enforced alike in both major leagues and ;n all the so-called minor leagues operating under the national agree ricnt.
 It is the general opinion that he suggestion by Mir Comisky tc leave the club owners out of the convention is a good one.

ASK THE RETURN
 OF NOTES
(From Fridays Daily)

Another financial transaction has made its appearance on the judicial horizon, in a suit filed a few days ago in Phoenix by Navajo county rangemen, alleging fraud and misrep
 resentation by the Union Bank and Trust Company of Phoenix, in se- curing certain funds through the route of promissory notes given. Clark & Tascher, Of Prescott, are the attorneys retained by fte stock
 men to have the contracts annulled.
 The complaint states that the agents of the Union Bank and Trust Company, who conducted the sale of the stock in that institution, mis- represented the financial condition of this banking house, and on this ground the case will be vigorously fought at some time in the near future. According to the statements made yesterday by Clark &Tascher there will be sensational develop ments aired when the trial takes place The rangemen who gave their notes to the Union concern in Phoe- nix state that the sum of approXi- mately $12OO0 is involved. This ac
 ton is independent of the Yavapdi suit filed in which resident stock men are being sued by the Union Bank and Trust Company for about $10,0O0, for the alleged non-fulfll- ment Of the note transactions en- tered into early in the present year.
