STOCKHOLDERS WIN
PUMP SKIRMISH
Get Right to Prove Interna-
tional Concern Failed
when Solvent.
CHARGES STIR PROTEST.

Tho protective committee representing
ore,etred stock holders of the Interna-
,lonal steam Pump Company won an
,myortan, skirmish yesterday In Their
fight TO block the proposed reorganiza-
,ton p,an. They induced Judge Julius
n Mayer of the United States District
Court 10 give them an opportunity TO
oroye before the special master that
the company was solvent when 1t was
thrown into the hands OF receivers in
On equity suit in August. 1914
II was the second effort made by the
.nlnority preferred stock holders to ac-
conplish this end. On September 10
they peti,ioned Judge Hough in the
name court TO allow them TO intervene
IN the equity and mortgage foreclosure
quits so that they might prevent fore
closure, which they declared was de-
signed to rob them of their property
and put the assets of the company into
the hands OF the b~ondholders and the
present management.
Act on Judge's SUGGESTION.
Judge Hough refused this request,
calling attention TO the fact that the
preferred stockholders had a receiver
appointed for the company in the Jer-
sew courts and that the receiver had
been made a party to the suits in this
city. Therefore. he said, the preferred
stock holders should have made Their
charges Of collision and their protest
AGAINST the reorganization plan through
tie receiver.
Acting on this suggestion. Bourke
Cochran, attorney for the protective
committee. appeared before Judge Mayer
yesterday and asked that Receiver Gil
bert c. Collins Of Jersey, as a party
defendant TO the equity and mortgage
foreclosure suits. should be allowed to
amend the answers of the company in
these suits In such a way as to deny
Insolvency.
The hearing lasted until : o'clock last
night. when the Judge said that the
preferred stockholders should be given
their dav in court. Under his ruling
they will begin to submit testimony be-
fore Special Master Gilbert next Tues
day morning In support OF their charges
OF fraud n collision an the part of the
management and the bo%ndholders. II
they can prove their allegations that the
company was solvent the mortgage will
rot be foreclosed and the reorganiza-
ton will be prevented.
Cravath Resents Charges.
After the Judge had rendered his de-
esion Paul ID. Cravath. attorney for
the bondholders. jumped to his feet and
said:
Your Honor. som bitter aspersions
have been mad against my clients at
this hearing, but Mr.. Cochran has so
long been engaged in the business OF
calling honest men thieves hat We
would rather have his condemnation
than his praise
Mr.. Cochran was framing a retort
when the Judge ~interposed with:
Gentlemen, it Is my opinion that none
9, you is as bad as he is said to be
and that none OF you is quite as good
as he thinks he is"

COURT is WARNED OF
NAKASHIMA BEING BAD
MAN, SAYS SHERIFF

Unfortunately we have to have a
warrant or a complaint at least before
we can arrest a man." said Sheriff
Charles Rose this morning, referring
to the fact that D. Nakashima had
been left at liberty though he knew
he had threatened the life of the wo-
man Fujii, whom he shot twice yes
terday morning.
1T was simply a case of unfortu-
nate circumstances" continued the
sheriff "Of course we might have
taken some action against the man,
but we cant make it rule to lock up
every person against whom we hear
the rumor Of suspicion.
I'VE did know that the man was
dangerous and Chef of Detectives Ar
thur McDuffie warned the court to
that effect at the time when the mat
ter was brought to court in the first
place. 1t was for the judge to decide
what should be done with the man
and the judge did practically all that
he could by placing the man under
the heavy bail of $1,000"

MONEY in SIGHT
TOPAY CHARTER
MEET EXPENSES
Fund of $500 Will Probably Be
in Bank BY Monday-Ad-
Vanced BY Seven Men

Funds totaling 500 to meet the
necessary expenses of the charter
convention will probably be in the
bank by Monday afternoon. Seven
Honolulu men have expressed a will
lingness to be good for 500 each, TAX
ing their chances of an appropriation
of convention expenses in 1917 from
the government, city and county, or
territorial.
w O. Smith, who has had in hand
the solution of the financial problems
of the convention, has secured the
signatures of seven different men who
agree to indorse the loan. Mr.. Smith
goes to Maui today but will re.
turn Monday, and is confident that
at the convention meeting planned
for that night he will be able to re,
port the cash in hand
Original estimates of the money
necessary ranged from $120O to $500
but the convention has received all
offer to have its printing done free
of charge and by trimming other esti-
mates it is figured that the 500 will
suffice.

HOPE EREWVING
SUGAR WON'T GO
ON FREE LIST
Local Businessmen KeenIy In
tereSted in Recent Hints
From Washington
DEMAND FOR REVENUE IS
OPPORTUNITY FOR TARIFF
Article in Washington Times
is Thought to Be Based on
"Inside Information"

Sugar men in Honolulu and a great
many others not dieectly engaged in
sugar production or shipment are dis
cussing with keen interest recent arti
cles and editorials in mainland naners
which hint that the administration is
considering retaining substantial
duty en- sugar.
The authorized interview obtained
by the Star-BuIletin's Washington cor
respondent with Representative Page
of North Carolina and published a. few
days ago, taken in conjunction with
other statements made in Washing
ton, has. given Hawaii's sugar men
ground for hope that sugar Will mo-
go on the free list next May.
II is believed that Democratic lead
ers In Congress. realizing the trSmen
dous demand for more revenue, arc
working now to frame a. program that
will bring them before the, country ss
legislators seeking to maintain su
gar tariff for revenue only.
An article which has attracted much
local attention was sipnblished in the
washington Times 81 Sundsy, August
20. 1t follows: r ! -.
There will be no wholesale tinker
ing with the tariff at the next session
of Ccngress IL .feports current in po-
litical circles are to be credited
1T is understood that with the ms
sible exception ofthe sugar schedule,
President WiIsoA will oppose tariff
changes. believing that the Underwood
law has not bad a fair chance because
or tho dlsrpRted trade Tcondi tions dur
ing the European War. It is not Inn,
probable taat there may, bo modifi-
cation or the free sngar'' elause o.
the law. which is to become effective
next May. 7.>.s
Confronted with the necessity OF
raising more revenue, sugar appeals
as revenue producer. About $780,.
100000 will be Topped off when that
article goes on the free list. It was
made free at a time when the Euro
pean war was unforeseen, and there
was promise Of increased imports OF
others goods to make up the differ
ence when taken In conjunction with
internal revenue receipts.
Nothing Definite Decided.
Senator Simmons, chairman of the
senate finance committee, and Con
gressmsn Kitchin, chairman of the
ways and means committee. admit
there Is talk of retaining a duty on
sugar, but nothing definite has been
decided.
'lr is practically foregone conclu-
sion that the war revenue bill,
which expires by limitation on Decem-
Der 81. must be reenacted as soon as
CONGRESS reconyenes. .
This bill was desfrned to raise
$50, ,O00, 600 to $100, o.e00 per year to
Offset low customs receipts. and |,
will be impossible for the government
to get along without this interna,
revenue, provided the war continues.

One of the defendants. a Japanese

Several of the defendants stated II

they thought it was a product up to
the standard as pertaining to the
quantity of butterfat it contained, and
that they had sold 1t as such. A. w.
