McPhee and Enos
Sue Gesner For
$4,000 Damages
Allege Breach of Option and
Assert He Did Not Make Ef-
forts to Secure Ford Agency
For Them.

Action in assumpsit and asking
100000 damages was instituted in
Honolulu Monday afternoon by An
gus McPhee and Enos Vincent
against Harry M. Gesner the firm of
Robertson, Castle & Olson, represent.
ing the plaintiffs. The action grows
out of negotiations that have been
in progress for the purchase of the
real estate and business of Gesner
and securing Herewith the Ford
agency for Maui.
The plaintiffs alrege in their com.
plant, Vincent says, that they paid
to Gesner $500 in cash for six
months option to purchase and that
in such option it was provided that
Gesner would seek to assist the plain
tifTs TO secure the Ford agency. They
allege that instead of carrying out
that provision Gesner by letters and
kilograms urged that the agency be
given to Holt, Locey and Schumann
and it is said that the agency has SO
been granted.
The plaintiffs further allege Ges.
ner was to go with one of their rep
resentatives to the mainland in the
effort to secure the option for the
DldulluS anu lndC III COnneCIlOn WlCD
the interview with the Ford repre-.
sentative which was to be held there
the plaintiffs were to announce in
the name of what person, persons or
corporation the option was to be ex.
ercised. They say there is no clause
in the option that they were to make
such disclosure within a week from
the signing of the contract as was
rumored on the streets. Ford
agencies are not assignable so if an
agent retires from or sells his bust
ness he has to resign and the Ford
company names new agent.
Gesner said on Tuesday that he
had not yet seen the papers in the
case which he understood had not
yet come from Honolulu and had no
first hand knowledge of the action.
He added that he had performed as
well as he was able all that was re-
quired of him under the option and
stood ready to do anything else in
compliance of it that was right and
proper and might be asked of him
by McPhee and Vincent.

Crown Prince Of
Japan Is Named
Empires Regent
Long Continued Illness of the
Emperor Results in Trans
fer of Reins of Government
To His Son.
ASSOCIATED pRESSl

TOXIC, Nov. 25-Crown Prince Hi
rohlto has been named regent of
Japan, II was officially announced to-
DAY. His appointment is the result
OF the steadily failing health of the
Mikado.
Crown Prince Michi-No-Miya, of
Japan, was born April 29, 1901 and
was proclaimed heir apparent in
1912 when his father became emper-
or at the death of Mutsuhito and was
formally consecrated as Grown
Prince in 1916. Prince Michi as he
is called is a major of infantry in the
japanese army and a lieutenant-com-
mander in the navy. He has always
been close student of history and
geography and, since 1919, when he
attained his majority, has paTticipat-
ed in the councils of the imperial
family occupied a seat in the House
of Peers in the Imperial Diet.
He is said to possess IAN observ-
ing disposition, a retentive memory
and desire for knowledge"
Beginning when he was six years
old, he received a common school
education in Toxic and studied under
private tutors in the Imperial Educa-
ton Institute at Toxic.
Makes European Visit
In May 1920, the illness of Emper-
or Goshihito had become so grave
that he relinquished some of his
duties to Prince Michi and the Prince
received foreign diplomats on an i'm
portant state function In the spring
of 1921, the Emperor broke an anci-
ent Japanese tradition by sending
the Crown Prince on visit to
Europe
1t was reported at that time that
his proposed tour abroad was due to
an intrigue to annul his engagement
TO marry the Princess Iagako. About
this time there was a movement to
have him declared Prince Regent ow-
ing to the long continued illness of
his father. Before he sailed for
Europe, it was announced in Toxic
that his wedding would take place
after he returned from abroad. In
the spring of 1921, the Prince visited
England, Scotland, France, Belgium,
Holland and Italy-the first Japanese
Prince who ever left his native coun-
try. He was accompanied by Admi
raj Togo, who for number of years
had directed his education. He was
made an honorary general in the Brit
ish army and knight of the Order
of the Bath by King George and was
entertained by the royal houses of
the other nations and received in au
dience by Pope Benedict.
In an interview in London, the
Prince said he looked forward to
visit to the United States at some
other time.
Message on Return
Upon his return to Toxic, after
seven months absence, the Crown
Prince issued message to the ma
ton, in which he said he appreciated
the hospitality and courtesy accorded
him everywhere and that he believed
his trip would be helpful to Japan.
Il confess" he added, that there are
number of things which we Japa-
nese have yet to learn from the coun-
tries | visited. 1t is my ardent wish
that the whole nation apply itself
with redoubled energy to the promo
tion of national prosperity by adopting
whatever is good that foreign coun-
tries possess"
