Hawaiian Legislature
Opened Yesterday

Honolulu. T. H., Feb. 20.-Facing
a program OF construction that will
keep it fully occupied for the 60 days
of the session.. the territorial legis-
lature OF Hawaii convened here yes
terday.
A bitter fight is expected over
Speaker l.. H. Holsthin's reapportion-
ment bill. which would increase
Honolulu's strength in the legislature
and reduce the representation of the
stands of Maui and Kauai. with no
change for Hawaii Mr.. Holstefn's
home. The proposed reapportion-
ment is based on the population Of
the different islands. Rumors Of q
combine by Kauai and Maui repre-
sentatives to defeat Mr.. Holstein for
reelection as speaker have been cur
rent in political circles.
An appropriation of more than ST.
100000 will be sought for the i'm
provement Of Hawaiian harbors, to
provide for the great increase that
is expected in Pacific commerce. 1t
is considered probable that the legis-
lature will take action to increase the
present limit on the territory's bond
ed Indebtedness. Approval of con-
gress would be required.
School teachers of the territory will
ask the legislature for an increase of
one-third of their present salaries.
Senator Chillingworth is advocat-
ing an appropriation sufficiently large
to place the college Of Hawaii on a
plane of equality with the best main
land universities.
With the support Of Governor Me-
Carthy, pledged in a recent state
ment, advocates Of woman suffrage
for Hawaii are confident Of victory.
In declaring his attitude toward
suffrage, Governor Mccarthy said:
I think that the Hawaiian women
are more entitled to vote than the
Hawaiian men. and I am very strong
ly in favor of women suffrage in this
territory. I have found that the
Hawaiian women take a deep interest
in politics and in my opinion they are
more capable of running the govern
ment than the men are"
Under act of congress-, the lesisla-
ture, of Hawaii is empowered to con-
fer suffrage on the women Of the ter
ritory.

ALL TILE FLOORS NOT
ALIKE. RULES JUDGE
IN DECISION TODAY
Contractor jackson Can Recov-
er but $1,285 of $1,829
Sought in Dalton Case.

All tile flooring Is not alike, in
the opinion of Judge G. w. Stanton
of the district court. With especial
reference to the floor In the dining
room of the Hotel Dalton, in this
city, the court finds that 1t is de
ficient. defective and imperfect" and
that by reason of the failure of Ed
ward Jackson. contractor, to sub
stnntial!y perform his contract for
the installation of the floor John Dal-
ton, the proprietor, has been dam
aged in the sum Of $544.O0.
His Honor pays further compli-
ment to the floor in question by say
ing that 1.-The ceramic tiling is sec
ond-class and not OF good quality:
that the work Of laying the said TIL
ing was performed by workmen in
efficient and inexperienced in that
kind of work; that the said floor is
now and was when the work Of lay
ing the same was finished uneven
and irregular on its surface; that
many small pieces of tile never ad
hered firmly to the beS or base on
which the same were laid, leaving
many defective places in the floor,
in several of which places, compris-
ing an aggregate surface area OF sew
eral square yards, the tile, soon after
it was laid. became loose and wholly
detached from the bed; that such
imperfect and defective condition Of
the floor was due attributable to the
inferior quality Of material used and
the lack Of skill in the performance
Of the work and not to any subse-
quent use or treatment OF the same"
Judicial determination Of the mat
ter arose from the fact that Jackson
agreed to construct the building, in
Guiding extras, for $1S,364.67, on
which sum Dalton paid SIG. .535. 90
and refused to pay the balance Of
$1,S29.G7 because Of the defective
tile floor. Jackson accordingly filed
lien and brought suit to foreclose
It, According to the decision filed
today Jackson will recover s1,2S5.67
instead Of 81 1,829.67 which he asked.
The case was tried March Ia, John
