Mrs. Aenelo Da cunha Pessoa. $500
With a five dollar gold piece, Mrs.
Agnelo Da Cunha Pessoa, wife of the
consul-general for Portugal, this aft
'ernoon opened a subscription fund for
relief of the Francisco M. Mattos fam
lily of Koloa, Kauai, and placed 1t in
charge of the Star-Bulletin. to be given
the parents as soon as sufficiently
large sum has been reached.
The slender salary of s24 a month
earned by Francisco at Koloa planta-
tion was enough TO support three chill
dren, but when three more, all boys,
arrived last summer, July u. he found
1t difficult to earn enough to support
them all.
Wednesday morning the family came
over from Kauai on the w. G. Hall
to seek assistance. Francisco called
on Governor Pinkham, but found the
territorys chief executive too busy to
see him. X
He next went to the Portuguese con-
sui, Agnelo Da Cunha Pessoa of 7S7
South King street, and appealed to
him for help. Mr.. Pessoa did what
he could for them, and this afternoon
his wife gave IS with which to open
a fund to buy the triplets food and
supply them with clothes. The trip
lets are American citizens by virtue
OF birth in United States territory,
although the parents are Portuguese.
Contributions will be accepted by
the Star-Bulletin, and will be turned
over to the family, which is now prac.
tically destitute. The Mattoses plan
to return to Kauai next Tuesday.

Circuit Judge T.. b. Stuart today
dissolved the Injunction suit brought
by the territory against the Honolulu
Rapid Transit & Land Company and
dismissed the case on It's merits %..
The decision handed down by Judge
Stuart brought to a close, temporarily
at least, one OF the most interesting
and hardest fought cases in the his
tory of the local circuit court While
there were but few conjectures as to
the stand which would be taken by
the court in deciding the action, it
was conceded by many who heard the
evidence that Judge Stuart would rule
as he did today. y" -. p, .><.
1t was the contention of the terri
tory that the Rapid Transit should
be restrained from increasing its pres
ent capital stock from $1,207 500 to
$1,600,000. While there were many
items of the business of the system
which were made of issue, such as
depreciation, cost of reproduction and
original cost of the plant, Judge Stu.

bill presented but one question that
of whether the company should be en-
