NO new HEARING
OF PROHIBITION
POINT in CASE

THE suit to set aside the deed of
trust was predicated upon the ground
OF undue influence which presupposes
mental competency and insanity was
not alleged. We resff!rm the view ex-
pressed in the oral opinion that the
presumption of competency prevails
in favor of the queen. .-~ r"
Thus declared the supreme court
In denying to Circuit Judge T. b.
Stuart, Delegate Kuhio and Lorrin An
drews, next friend" and guardian ad
litem of Queen Liliuokalani, petition
for a rehearing of the writ of prohibit,
tion brought against them by the
queen IN connection with Kuhio's suit
to break the Liliuokalani trust.
The supreme court dismissed the
original writ, at the same time decid-
ing that there is a presumption that
the queen is mentally competent, and
that she was not a proper party-com-
plainant in the Kuhio suit.
'1f we entertained any doubt as to
the correctness of the ruling hereto
fore made" says the supreme court,
"or as to the reasons therefor, we
would, under the circumstances, allow
a reargument Of the whole matter, but
being satisfied that the writ was prop
erly discharged upon both the grounds
given in the opinion, we do not see
that anything is to be gained by al
lowing further argument"

IS POUNDS OF BLOOD

Is the average quantity in a healthy
adult, but it is the quality of the blood
that determines our strength to resist
sickness. With weak blood we find
cold hands and chilly feet; in children
an aversion to study, and in adults
rheumatic tendencies.
In changing seasons get abundant
fresh air and take a spoonful of SCOTS
Emulsion after.meals, because SCOTS
Emulsion is a rich blood-food that will
increase both quantity and quality of
the blood while it warns the body and
helps carry off the impurities.
When multitudes of people are to-
day taking SCOTS Emulsion to avert
winter sickness, and are giving it to
their children, it is careless to neglect
its benefits. Look out for substitutes.

CITY COULD SAVE
MONEY WITH own
PLANT WESCOTT
Purchasing Agent Gives Rea-
sons for Having Municipal
Garage Here

II. H. Wescott, city purchasing
agent, believes that the city could
save money and increase the efficiency
of''its IS or 40 automobiles if MUM
cipal garage is established. Ever
since the project was first, discussed
by the board of supervisors he has
talked and thought Of its advantages.
Nightly inspection, such as would
be made in a city garage. would dou-
BILE the life OF machines and tires,
he claims. IL stepped up to a ton
truck the other day and turned with
my fingers nearly a dozen bolts. That
machine will be racked to pieces in
half the time 1t would last with or
binary care"
Wescott believes that II a compe-
tent mechanic was put in charge OF
the city machines the repair and up
keep bill would be cut in half. Prac,
tically all repair bills pass through
his hands and he knows what automo-
bile upkeep is costing the city
No Check on Garage Bill.
Labor on repairs costs the city
30 cents an hour now" he says.
There is no way of checking the bill
for time put In by the garages either.
Think of the saving in that item alone
in a municipal garage!" "
He points out that If the garage is
established as separate city depart
ment, the head OF II could keep a rec
ord Of tons hauled and the mileage
of the machines and at the end Of the
month compare the record Of the diff
ferent machines and drivers. THAT is
what all private concerns Of any size
do" he asserts. efficiency of man
and machine would show in indisput
able figures on such a record. Ma
chimes and tires could be standardized
and great saving effected"
weseott says that machines that
anyone could repair with the exercise
OF ordinary common sense are left
stalled on the road and mechanics call
ed from the city garages to repair
them. .#-- =
city's chauffeurs Incompetent
He believes that more competent
men would be employed by a garage
head with a record to make. Then
there would be no loose nuts and bolts
for the, careless chauffeur would either
be fired or reformed" he declares.
Tires would be shifted about SO as
to get the maximum amount Of wear
from them. The other day / saw a
tire worn to, the iron rIIn after only
1900 miles of service, although 1t was
guaranteed for 1000 mnes. Chances
are that the truck had been overload,
ed and hence the city win not be able
to get the tire replaced"
Buy rarts In Quantities.
The purchasing agent says that
with 3 garage 10 use as storehouse
and with machines and tires standard.
lied, repair parts and tires could be
purchased in quantities at great saw.
ing Now II is often necessary to
wait for parts to come from the coast
and pay bag prices for them.
THE best argument for the estab-
lishment Of a municipal garage is
the repair men are all scrambling for
the city business, which shows that
there is a big profit in il. The city
can make these profits for ITSELF"
Wescott asserts.

PRICE OF REFINED
CUT IN NEW YORK
Diminishing Domestic ConSump-
ton and Other Causes Bring
Quotation Down One-0uarter

Action which local sugar men have
been predicting came yesterday when
the price of refined at New York was
cut twenty five cents the hundred
pounds.
Irrespective of the condition of the
worlds supply, there is a price limit
above which. the average consumer will
not go, and for months, or ever since
the price of raw has ranged above five
und half cents, domestic consumption
has steadily diminished.
Hawaiian 90 raws are sold to the
rcfiners, but if~thcsc cannot sell their
finished white sugars the price Of both
raw and refined must be dropped to a
level where buying for consumption
will be resumed
TwOthirds of the Hawaiian crop has
now been sold, at very high prices.
The remainder will work itself off in
time at figures that cannot help but be
highly satisfactory. The railroad
strike probably has something to do
with lower prices, also, because if the
railroads cannot transport sugar the
refners would rather have someone
Else own their stocks.
Rather than lose interest on the cap
ital invested during hold-up they will
sell at a reduction.

Nicholas has forced the Turks to re-

from the Slav fotilla of gunbOats.
In the vicinity Of the Somme front
there was heavy fighting yesterday in
spite of had weather which made II al
most impossible for the artillery OBJ
servers to direct the fire Of the guns.
Berlin however, claims that the Ger.
mans on the sector between Thiepval
and Pozieres were successful in an as
sault upon the British lines, taking
seven thousand yards Of trenches.
Teutonic Claim Confirmed
The London account partially CON
firms this and states that "the Ger.
mans have regaincd temporary foot,

eres, after a succession of terrific as
saults. - q.
The French official communique Of
last evening however reports French
success in the Somme sectors, with the

lmunicaion with Secretary Tumulty frequently DUR
ing the morning. but in the afternoon upon reassur-
ling reports from his secretary the president went
lout for game of golf. Mrs. Wilson went with him.

York. AT O'Clock, Governor Hughes and Mrs.
Hughes went for an automobile ride. The candidate
was given rousing cheer he walked smiling to his
machine at the curb
