Court Overrules the
Demurrer in Liquor
License Refund Case

In the cas- of Medeiros against
Maui County an "interlocutory appeal
will be taken to the supreme court
froma decision handed down last week
by Judge Burr in which he overruled
the demurrer of the county which had
been interviewed by County Attorney
Bevins. He granted permission for
the interlocutory appeal at the same
time.
The case of Medeiros VS. the County
was brought through Attorney Eugene
Murphy to recover from the county IL
cense fees paid for a saloon of the
plaintiff shortly before prohibition
went into effect. The plaintiff had to
close his saloon but had paid a years
license. He seeks a refund from the
county for the period during which
the license vas useless to him.
The county attorney demurred on
the grounds that it is not alleged that
the money was illegally collected, that
the county is not authorized to refund,
that there is no law that requires the
county to refund and failure of the
plaintiff to enjoy the privileges which
the license granted to him did not
arise through any act of the county.

Great Crowds at
Claudine Wharf
See Baldwins OFF
Throng Is Largest Kahului
Has Ever Known and Out
pouring Comes Without
Encouragement.

Never before had there been such
a crowd at Claudine wharf as was
there Saturday night to speed with
their aloha the journey of Delegate
Harry A. Baldwin and Mrs. Baldwin
to Washington. Not even when the
wharf was dedicated was there such
an outpouring. And it was spontan-
eous, absolutely without prearrange-
ments. 1t was a going to the steamer
to see friends off on a journey, not a
tribute to the Delegate but a demons
tration of esteem and liking for the
Maui man that has been chosen by
the people of the Territory to repre-
SEM them.
From as far as Honolua in West
Maui and Kailua in East Maui auto
mobiles trversed the roads that led
to Kahului and the Claudine wharf.
Cars were parked up the street lead
ing to the wharf on both sides and
around on Main street away above
the bank and over beyond the bridge.
And On the wharf, what a jam there
wasi There was a band playing, fire
crackers popped and ratified on the
shore and hundreds upon hundreds of
voices united in rolling forth the notes

reached the steamer early, by $50.
though it was not to sail until 10.
and already the crowd was waiting
for them and they had to make their
way through a cheering, crowding
mass of friends to the gang plank.
Aboard steamer it was a good deal
like a reception of the closest friends
and the departing Mauiites were sim
ply buried in leis. From the dock
shouts and cheers were raised at in
t~ervals between the numbers played
by band and ~orchestras.
The hour of departure of the XII
lauea came, the notes of aloha oe'
were heard and voice after voice took
up the song swelling into al immense
chorus. All the whistles in and about
the harbor. were blown as the steam
er drew away and motor car horns
honked their loudest far up the road.
And then the crowds found their
way to motor cars that were waiting
and sped away homeward while the
lights of the Kilauea were still twink
ling in the offing.
