III. TO BE TRIED
Continued from PAGE onel

proximate cause of plaintiffs injury
was the negligence of the defendant
in failing to furnish reasonably safe
cable for use, is not question OF
science or legal knowledge, but a
question of fact for determination by
a jury" ...
In his dissenting opinion Associate
Justice Perry says: %.1
while concurring in what is said
in the foregoing opinion on the sub
iect of the assumption by plaintiff OF
the risks incident to the lack OF a
guard rail and platform at the head
of the coal conveyor, | respectfully
dissent from the view that the ques-
tion of proximate cause should have
been submitted to the jury and from
the conclusion that a nonsuit was in
correctly ordered.
There is no doubt that what is
the proximate cause of an injury is
ordinarily question for a jury; but
when the facts are all undisputed and
the differences necessary to sustain
the plaintiffs case are not legally
deducible from those facts. the ques,
ticn is solely one of law for the court.
In the case at bar the question was,
in my opinion, one of law for the
court"
Concluding, he says: In my opin-
ion the plaintiff failed to show that
the defendant was guilty CT any negli-
gence which could have been proper.
ly found by the jury to have been
the proximate cause of the injuries
complained of and the motion for
nonsuit was properly granted"

PA OLA CAMP

Elsewhere today is printed the appeal sent
.out to the people of Honolulu on behalf of Pa
Ola Day Camp by the Mems League, which for
several years has carried on this effective agency
in the campaign against the dread white
plague or tuberculosis The people of this city
hardly need to be reminded of the terrific toll
taken by tuberculosis. Every fifteen days there
comes to the newspapers of Honolulu a state
nent from the board of health giving the NOR
tality statistics for the previous halfmonth.
Again and again the deaths from tuberculosis
will outnumber deaths from all other causes
ten to one, and it not infrequently happens that
every death during the fifteen days has been
caused by the ravages of this disease. 1t is a
hard fight and long fight that must be waged
in Honolulu, and Pa Ola Day Camp is one of
the outposts to hold which the resources of free
~ given money and energy must be marshalled
The appeal of the Mems League SHOULD be
promptly answered.

A SURVEY OF AMERICAN BUSINESS

According to mainland adviees on finance
and trade, the weather conditions throughout
the East act to some extent to cause price fluc-
tuations in the open market, and especially has
this been true of the past few weeks of climate
ranging from zero to any place below, accompa-
MED by storms that have impeded railway traf-
nc and the distribution of merchandise. Dur
ing the cold snaps there has been notable in
crease in the movement of footwear and heavy
apparel, and fuel has also climbed few
notches. But throughout it all there has pre-
vailed a tone of optimism
The demand for wool is on the increase with
corresponding boost in prices The iron and
steel interests report booking more business
during February than in january. Railway
earnings for February fell 3.3 per cent below the
receipts of the same month last year.
There has been enough new business to en-
able the mills and furnaces in the manufacture
ing towns of the East to increase operating
schedules
The movement Of general farm staples shows
3 decidedly firm undertone. There has been a
general upward tendency for all grains, espe-
tally corn and wheat AS far west as the Mid
de States they have felt the effect of the re-
cent storms on the general trade movement, but
Nithal there is a buoyant feeling that not even
storms can stop the coming good times.
In the Southern States there has been con-
inual growth of confidence in all lines of trade,
both wholesale and retail. A series of clearance
and bargain sales have successfully reduced
some Of the overstocked shelves and warehouses.
The hotels are reported full and trade brisk.
Chicago reports a gratifying progress Of
irade notwithstanding that outdoor activities
have been somewhat impeded by recent cold
Weather. ST Paul reports that business is
good, there is a general feeling of optimism, and
The general trade is such as to indicate com
ing favorable situation throughout the North
vest
From Portland, Oregon, comes the word that
although there has been no great increase in the
volume Of business for the first two months of
the year there is a very confident feeling that a
gradual improvement sof conditions will mate
rializ as the season advances.
San Francisco shows slight decrease in her
exports as compared with the same month last
year. The trade for january was valued at ST.
S0S,OOO, decrease of 81, 10000 from the same
month last year and 81 100000 less than in
1912 OF the total last month, So, 900 rep
resented the foreign trade, the remainder going
to domestic Atlantic ports and the Hawaiian
islands.
Taken altogether there seems to be a feeling
from coast to coast, and including these islands,
that if businessmen rub hard enough on the
cloud, the silver lining will show through.
