STUART HOLDS
PERRY Cannot
ACT FOR QUEEN

bearing in the Lihuokalani case
VII. .ch was set for o'clock this morn
ing IN order that Judge A. S. Hum
phreyG night be called to testify be
fore Judge Whitney as to the queen
sanity, has been postponed until next
Friday morning.
The decision of Judge Stuart. given
yesterday afternoon, in regard 10
whether Judge Antonio Perry, the
queens attorney, could appear in
court as counsel for her was given in
the negative.
Judge Perry has no standing in the
court in this matter, according to
Judge Stuart's decision, Lorrfn An
drews having been appointed by the
court as the queens next friend" anu
guardian ad Item. The afternoon de-
cision followed a debate held during
the morning session of the court,
Judge Stuart also denied a request
by Judge Perry tnat the court grant
him privilege of an interlocutory ap-
peal from its ruling to the supreme
court
Then Judge Perry was told that ne
could take the case to the supreme
court and get writ of prohibition if
he was in the right, as the case in
the lower court must be tried on its
merits.
Demurrers filed by counsel for the
trustees of the queens trust were
also oVesruled by Judge Stuart, and
another request for an interlocutory
appeal in this case, made by Attorney
Olson, was denied. 1t is believed that
Judge Perry will carry the case
higher, though he said today that he
does not care to make any statement
in this regard at the present time.

ment club at a meeting OF the com
mission this morning over the delay
occasiOned by the objections of the
Country Club and George Sherman to
the Laimi road extension. Action on
the matter was deferred until the next
meeting, month off.
IL Is evident that small property
owners in the district resent the atti
tude of the two large owners. Bittei
remarks crept out Often at the hear.
ing, despite the efforts Of the chair
man 10 preserve general calm.
In one Of its numerous plans out
lining what we want the Country Club
kindly allow us a magnificent view
of its club house" s2rcastically as
serted J. F. G. Stokes. representa-
tive of the Puunui Improvement Club.
Il think this attitude Of eXcluSiveness
and seclIsiveneSs has teen carried too
far We have been termed 'undesir-
ables' by representatives Of the club
The improvement OF the district has
been held up for four months by the
club and MIR. Sherman. Who are the
undesirables? We who are trying to
put through an Improvement or they
who are blocking it?"
Then Country Clnb members arose
and told Mr.. Stokes what a fine lot
of men the members of his organiZa-
tion are.
Written promises OF the Country
Club and Mr.. Sherman to contribute
$4,000 and $500 respectively to the
cost of a road--but not the Laimi ex-
tensfon-were read at the meeting.
along with a proposal for new road,
to commence at the end of Hawai-:
street and run along the bank of the
stream. This is the proposal in which
the club referred to the magnificent
view.
1t was pointed out by Mr.. Stokes
that under the frontage tax laws tan
club would have to pay about $1,000
for the proposed extension of Laimi
road and Mr. Sherman about $2500,
so that their offer to contribute to an
other road sis not so very generous"
That any other project than the ex-
tension of Lainfi road would not meet
with the approval of the residents of
the district and would result in an
opposition by property owners that
would prevent its adoption, was the
declaration of G. j. Boisse. president
Of the Improvement organization
I'VE will fight any other proposal"
he declared. I'VE will have to pay
the greater part of the cost of this
road and we will not accept an outlet
we do not want. The Country Club
and Mr. Sherman mAy think they can
tire US out, but they will find that they
are mistaken" H. H.. ~" !
The commission adjourned without
taking any action, but not before W.
F. illingham, member, had declared
that he had heard from man who
knew that the Baimi road extension
would not go through before every pos
sible legal means of stopping ii had
been exhausted. at will take a year
or two 20 get action on your proposal,
SO why not compromise and get work
started?" he asked the Puunuf resi-
