The police are much encouraged by

BAR ASSOCIATION
ACTS ON BILLS
BEFORE SOLONS
Lawyers Oppose Measures to-
Change Court Procedure; Fa-
vor Appointment OF Judges

Several bills pending IN the legis-
lature to alter certain methods OF
court procedure and the proposal %
have district magistrates elected in
stead of appointed by the chief JUS
tice of the seupreme court will be op-
posed by the Bar Association OF Ha-
wall. This was determined a. q meet
ing Of that body yesterday afternoon
in the stock exchange headquarters.
Twenty members were present, with
Judge John T. DeBot, vioe-president,
presiding Judge Antonio Perry. chair
man Of the associations legislative
committee. reported the tendency of
a measure in the legislature to pro-
vide that no decision shall be revers-
ed for merely technical errors where
the substantial rights OF the litigants
are not involved. A similar measure
was introduced in the legislature Of
1909 and Chief Justice Hartwell of
the supreme court advised the law
makers at that time that the bill was
unnecessary, as the rule already was
laid down by the supreme court and
was followed in every decision. IL
was urged yesterday that the Ameri-
can Bar Association has endorsed such
law, but the majority of those pre-.
sent felt it was unnecessary legisla.
ton, and the legislative commission
was finally instructed to oppose it.
Another measure the committee was
instructed to oppose Is one providing
that the plaintiff in civil suits cannot
consent of the defendant and except
on the payment to the defendant Of
such costs as the court might deem
proper. The objection raised to this
was that it would require the consent
of the defendant before discontinue
ance could be entered. - -. :.
The Bar Association went on record
as fayoring the present system of ap-
pointing district magistrates, with the
appointive power in the chief justice.
The association approved the bill to
provide for the appointment of q com.
mission for proper and adequate d.
gest Of the Hawaiian reports.
Representative w. T. Rawlins, who
also Is a member OF the association,
asked for an opinion on the sugges-
ton to increase the maximum limit of
civil suits which may be tried in dis
trict courts from $500 to $500. Suits
involving more than $500 as present
must be taken up to the circuit courts
and the lawyers yesterday expressed
the majority opinion that the present
maximum limit is large enough ANY
bill to raise the limit will be opposed
by its committee.
The question OF este hlishing small
debtors, courts was raised By Senator
A. l. Castle. d. L. Wilmington

Conviction of IS Chinese Held
to Be important in Police
Campaign

Forty-five Chinese gamblers were
found guilty and fined SIS and costs
today by Police Judge Monsarrat and
simultaneously the district magistrate
took an attitude which the police say
win be OF great benefit to them in
breaking up gambling In the Oriental
quarter.
The Chinese were taken In a raid
by Captain Of Detectives Arthur Nc.
Duffie and his staff last Saturday
night, the raid being made on the
@pork-shop game an the police know
IT, conducted over q Chinese store on
Msuna Kea street between Hotel and
King streets.
McDuffie told the story clearly on
the stand today. Its features have
particular bearing on the police treat
Iient OF the gambling situation. Nc.
Duffie saw Chinaman let out OF the
store and the door slammed behind
him, and the detectives suspicious
were aroused. When another China.
man came out the same way, McDuffie
acted quickly. He thrust HIS arm into
the door before II could be closed.
pressed the door open with his shoul.
der and went in. A lookout on the
stairs saw him and snapped off the
electric lights. With his staff close
behind, McDuffie ran up the stairs,
burst through q couple more doors and
into room filed with excited and
stampeding Cinnamon. The detectives
rot q fan-tan layout which was
submitted In court this morning and
explained by McDuffie. Some small
change was also found on the floor.
Attorney z. A. Douthitt, represent.
ing the Chinese, made q strong de-
Tense, declaring that evidence had not
been submitted to show that under the
law the detectives had proved gam.
bling game to be running IN the place.
Judge Monsarrat overfuled the objec-
ton and several others more or less
technical, and found the defendants
guilty.
The Decision in effect means that
when the police make their way into
quarters where they believe games to
be running, when they break down
barred doors, and when they are able

INTERESTING TO
NOTE FACTS OF
THIS COMPANY

"Of all the stock propositions ever
saw, this one certainly has il on them
ALL" quoth a man the other day. after
having Investigated the Marchant Cal
culating Machine Co.'S offering. He
then continued:
Usually when people are selling
stock. they are merely organizing a
company or beginning to get ready
to do something or another. They
very seldom have any concrete facts
as to past and present achievements
to substantiate their claims for the
future, etc These two features are
the two most prominent in the favor
of the above mentioned proposition
I'm the first instance this company
has been thoroughly organized and on
an active career for months and
months-and making good money at
that. In the second place this com
pany places its hope for the future and
prolonged success upon the fact that
its product Is an everyday commodity.
for which there Is an almost unlimited
and eyer-growing demand. It has be-
come almost a necessity, to every
IHOuCIh
Office where mathematics play any ap-
preciable part in the daily routine of
the business day.
Still again there is the splendid
financial statement Of the company
which speaks volumes to an intelli-
gent business man. (This statement
is accessible to all interested par
ties.)
There is just one fault with the
company to date. That being the fact
that the present facilities for the man.
ufacture of these wonderful machines
Is inadequate to the demand. That ex.
plains the why of these reasons for
saying that this company differs So
markedly from the ordinary run of
stock-selling companies. -

rest, I've said enough for a rank
outsider. Next thing know I'll be
accused OF being one of the eompany's

of the concern in Room 202, Hawaiian
Trust building. IT,:
Crawford puts his explanation very
briefly: g.
'sWe simply want to raise little
more capital right now, in order to
erect larger and more efficient plant,
that we may proportionately increase
the profits Of the business.
THE site having already been pur.
chased and the plans completed, the
directorate of the company decided
to release a limited number of shares
of capital treasury stock, to accom-
plish the desired and necessary Inn
proyenents, Without ificurring any
debt for the company. That's about
all there Is to It. However; I am hers
