garding his relations with Attorney

MANDAMUS
I SUIT TO SETTLE
G.O P.ELECTlON
Many Republican Nominees
for Legislature Hold They
are Elected.

High Sheriff Jarrett will probably
be mandamused To issue certificates
of election to four Republican nomi
nees for the house Of representatives
as result of the Republican claim
that these four candidates-C. c. H
Cooke, d. p. R.. Isenberg, Norman
Watkins and w. T. Rawlins- received
a majority of all the ballots cast fol
the office in the primary last Satur
day and under the-new law are elect
ed outright.
At. the same time II is entirely prob
able that some successful Republican
candidates for the legislature on the
other islands will take similar action
to get their elections declared ae'
complished.
Under the law the high sheriff in
this county and the sheriffs of the 9th
er counties issue the certificates oI
election to successful candidates In
the general election. 1t being held BY
the Republicans that members OF the
| legislature can be chosen outright al
the primary. they are planning tC
bring legal action il necessary to Sc
cure their certificates of election now
A whole raft of nice legal questions
the kind that the deep-thinking attor
neys reyel in, are brought up by the
present situation. Several of tn
knotty points were spoken of yester
day. One that is discussed today is;
| II the Republican candidates who re
ceive majority of the votes cast are
declared elected and their names de-
not go on the official ballot In No
vember, will only the names Of the
candidates not receiving majorit,
90 on the ballot? Or viii the name:
of the candidates next highest bu
: not nominated in the primary also q
On the ticket? At first sight this ques
ton looks almost foolish, but it i:
POINTED out by legal authority that i
may have to be considered seriously
II looks certain now that the -su
preme court will have to pass on thes,
questions and the party leaders hop
f! they can be settled within the mex

REFINERIES IN
California; ARE
GIVEN impetus

The San Francisco Examiner OF
September 9 says:
Not in many years has the sugar
refining business received such an
impetus as has followed the announce.
metn of the Interstate Commerce Com.
mission that eastbound freight rates
must be reduced to point which. viii
enable California refiners to get the
business of Chicago and the sur.
rounding territory.
The new rate schedules are being
prepared and viii be ready about DC.
tober Is.
Both Of the local refining compan.
les are preparing for tremendous in.
crease of business.
The Western Refinery in San Fran.
cisco is being given much additional
melting capacity.
Capacity ls Increased.
The refining capacity of the Cali
fornia- Hawaiian Company at Crock
EFT is being increased from 375.000
to $4,000 tons annually.
Not only will all Of the Hawaiian
sugar be refined re-mueh of II
now going to New York-but the re
finers are confident that some Phil
ippine, Japan and Peruvian sugars
will be drawn on to meet the demand
The change means the employment
Of many hundreds more men, both In
the refineries and on the railroads to
carry the sugar eastward. It means
that many millions of dollars annually
will be handled here that hitherto
has gene through New York and New
! Orleans. 1t means that California viii
refine the cane sugar and that the
West will produce the beet sugar fol
about 25, 10000 American people.
Boundary is Extended.
Hitherto the eastward boundary oi
the distribution Of California sugar
has been at the Missouri river. The
Interstate Commission, by reducing
the rate on sugar into the Chicago
territory from go to 4S cents a hun
dred, has sent the line as far east
ward as the western edge Of Indiana
The commission held that rates which
would require Hawaiian sugar to be
transported to New York and thence
shipped as far west as the Chicago
territory could not be maintained.
The new business that is open is:
Chicago and most of Illinois; the
western edge of Indiana, wisconsin
most Of Michigan and Minnesota Al
