A
Attorneys J. ?L. Coke and Enos
VihcentiiUHlja number of witnesses
in the suit of the Wailuku Sugar
w
Company versus the Territory of
Hawaii relative to water for Wailu
ku and Kahului returned Tuesday
evening and announce that a com
promise is , probable betweon the
parties.
Thc case can)0,.,.upt cfore Judge
Robinson on Monday the 2 ith.
I' After a good deal of legal fencing
Judge Robinson continued the in
junction suit until Monday, Febru
ary 21 by consent. It is a suit to
restrain Marston Campbell, Super
intendent of'Tuiblie Works, and W.
E. BaVJ superintendent of Wnilnku
water -works, from using certnin
water. In several instances the
court by mutual consent has opened
thetenipprary injunction to pormit
house- connections with the Wnilnku
and Knhului water system.
W. A. Kinney for tho company
pleaded for a continuance, urging
thaCa businesslike settlement of the
controversy might and should bo
inade out of court in tho meantime.
To take up individual rights involv
ed would require weeks of conten
tion, over details. It was represcnt
ed.nlsQ ns.only fair to Mr. Lindsay,
who will become Attorney General
on February 1, tfcat ho should have
an opportunity of studying, thecase
for the Territory. Mr. Kinney re
ferred to the point raised by the
company, as to whether an ancient
water right for a kuleana should
cover the same land when trails
formed into a town lot, upon which
additional, houses, a stable or a
hotel, may have been erected.
Politics had been imported into the
controversy "The Wailuku house
holders being done up by tho wick
ed corporation" and far would it
be from him to obstruct that game.
Howeveri if thero was o bo a
wrangle, in court extending over
weeks there would be trouble on tho
taro patches.
Judge Robinson caused n general
laugh by asking if taro patches were
favorable to the raising of hell.
Mr;' Kinney answered that water
rights caused more trouble in the
oourts than anything else.
OF SUPHRVISOUM, COUN I Y OF
Land Brings
High Figure
Kamakele Estate Lauds are
Sold.
Administrator James L- Coke of
the estate of Kamakele sold at pub
lic auction swveml pieces of land of
the estate on Wednesday.
The first piece of land was one
and thirty one hundredths of an

h.ikukimohewa for $60. The last

All of the pieces brought good
prices and as the amount realized
was more than required to pay the
outstanding indebtedness of the
estate tho fourth piece which had
been advertised for sale was with
drawn and not offered for sale.
Deputy Attorney General An
drews said he would not answer tho
argument of opposite counsel in
detail, although ho disputed his
statements. Mr. Kinney asked him
to say which ones ho disputed, but
he refused to reply even when
challenged to specify any ono state
ment. The Territory was prepared
to go on With the trial, having
brought Mr. Hal and County En
gineer Howell from Maui and Mr,
Coko and Mr. Vincent being present
to represent the County of Maui,
If, however, it was Mr. Lindsay's
desire to have the matter continued
he had no objection.

hearing.

Frank Damon, Preaches to
Ihe Heathen t Chinee.
Mr. Frank W. Damon, the
Superintendent of tho Chinese
Mission under the Hawaiian Evan
gelical Association, and the Presi
dent of the, Mid-Pacific, Institute
of Honolulu, is spending a week
on Muui, visiting the four or five
stations of the Board nmong the
Chinese people of this Islands
On Wednesday evening lie ad;
dressed a large and attentive
audience at the Chinese Church in
Wuiluku, speaking in hot hEnglish,
ami Chinese. He has not been on
the Island for some years, so that
the Chinese who have been asso
ciated with him in the . old Mills
Institute, which is now an impor
tant part of Mid-Pacific and the'
Chinese who remember him of
former "Hays in the work here on
Maui, were delighted with the
opportunity of seeing their old
friend Fully one hundred per
sons were present, and all remain
ed after the service to enjoy a
pleasant social gathering and the
refreshments . which had 'been
bountifully provided for the oc
casion. The Young Men's Club of the
Church sang very acceptably two
selections, and the forty .little
children. present took part together
in a pretty little exercise. Mr.
Dodge also made a few remarks
about the work in Wailuku during
the last four and a half years.
, Mr. Damon visits the old Kula
Mission on Sunday, and on Mon
day the, Makawao and Paia Chinese
people, and it is hoped je will be
in Wailuku on Tuesday to attend
the Minister's School.
Deeply to the regret of the mem
bers of the Makawao Church and
congregation, and to his host of
friends- on Maui and the other
Islands, Rev. Edward Bates Turner
resigned his pastorate last Friday
night, January 21st, stating that
he asked to be released from hi?
parish at the first of August this
year.
This action on tho part of Mr.
Turner was decidedly unexpected,
und the news came to his congre
gation with a great shock, for no
intimation of his determination to
leave Maui had been given, even to
the members of the Standing Com
mittee of tho Makawao Church. '
The annual business meeting of
the Church and congregation was
held on tho 21st. The usual in
toresting reports of tho progress of
tho work in tho Clmroh andvof the
varioijs missionary enterprises of
the Church were read. Mr. Tur
ner's report waB of exceptional in
terest. He told in his modest way,
of what had been accomplished in
the past, and reviewed the work of
tho Sunday School, which has
taken so much of his special atten
tion outside, the immediate duties
of his parish, and perhaps stands
out most prominently as the most
striking foatnre, marking his suc
cess in this Maui Church. Tho
membership of the Church has in
creased from 77 to about 125 in
tho three years thaj. Mr. Turner
bus been tho pastor, and tho Sun
day School membership, which was
45 when ho came to Maui, is now
175, which included a nourishing
Homo Department. Tho Church
under Mr. Turner has mado re
markable progress in all other de
partments and is a heavy supporter
of all missionary activity on Maui
