MADE A NEW RECORD
Baid of Buffalo Went a Mile
on a Quarter Track
in 2:04.
FLIERS ON THE WHEELS.
Successful Opening of the Three-
Days' Meet at Los
Angeles.
KISER CAUSED A BAD "MIX."
Wells Was Tangled Up With the
Riders, but He Secured
Third Place.
LOS ANGELES, Cat.., Nov. 21.— ]
great three-days' meet of the L. A. W. j
opened most auspiciously today, a large
and fashionable audience being in atten
dance.
Bald of Buffalo captured another world's
record, winning from Murphy of New
York the mile open on a quarter mile
tract in 2:04. This is the world's record
for a four-lap track.
The starters in the bis event were Bald,
Murphy. Ki^r, "Wells, Randall and j
Cooper, and the pacing was by Ulbricht
and Hatton. On the second lap Kiser,
trying to jump the tandem, fell on the
bank, Cooper went over his wheel, and big
"Wells, the San Francisco giant, rode over
Cooper's back, while Randall of Roches
ter in dodging the other three went clear
over the bank. Wells secured another
wheel and won third place.
Murphy and Bald raced for the tandem
at the start, but the Buffalo man got it
and Murrey fell right in behind him. The i
way Ulbricht and Hatton sent the Rambler
tandem over the track was wonderful to
behold. Several times Bald and Murphy
had all they could do to stay with it. On
the last lap Murphy started his usuaf
spurt and went past Bald, but after run
ning necK and neck in the home stretch
Bald passed him and finished half a wheel
to the good in the wonderful time of 2:01.
The only other class B race was the two
mile lap, which was won byEmil Ulbricht,
the "Flying Dutchman," in 4:56 with
seventeen points. W. Hatton was second
with thirteen points, and Campbell of
Spokane third with, six points.

THE DUCK-SHOOTING WAR
Cordelia Club Injunction Case
Again on Trial at
Suisun.
The Defense Offers No Evidence and
Will Rely on the Plaintiffs'
Weakness.
SriSt'X, Cal., Nov. -1. — The case of the
members of the Cordelia Shooting Clnb
against forty-one defendants, which has
been dragging along for a year in the
Superior Court, came up again for further
hearing before Judge Buckles to-day. It
is of great importance to sportsmen, par
ticularly those who shoot ducks over the
marsh and overflowed lands about the bay.
In ISitf Kellogg, the president of the
Cordelia Shooting Club, which is com
potud of ten wealthy San Franciscan?,
leased 1000 acres of the Chamberlain tract
near Suisnn, and last year fenced in 3000
acres. On this they posted notices forbid
ding trespassing or shooting over the land,
but these warnings were not heeded.
When the Teal Club had its war with the
Cordelia Club the former to spite the latter
club invited all the local sportsmen down
and told them that tney could shoot all
over any laud about. The invitation was
accepted and the visitors royally enter
tained. But when the two clubs patched
up their differences the local sDortsmen
continued shooting over the preserves.
Last December Kellogg sued out a tem
porary injunction againsYall the trespass
ers whose names could be ascertained and
asked that it be made permanent.
The trial of the case was begun several
months ago and postponed on account of
the sickness of one of the attorneys. At
that time the direct evidence of Charles
W. Kellogg (trustee) was introduced to
show the facts alleged and tha damage
done.
On cro*s-examination to-day he -was
questioned as to what other parties had
leases for other purposes on the Cordelia
Clubland?.
This indicated a point that will be made
by the defense that while the Cordelia
Club had the right under their lease to
shoot on the grounds they had no right to
prevent others; that, in" fact, they were
wanting in authority under the lease to
prevent trespassing* It transpired from
Mr. Kellogg's evidence that the bag of
four members of the club on the tirst dr.y's
shooting this year was L2O birds, of which
forty-two fell before the president's gun.
Captain Chittenden, gamekeeper of the
Cordelia Club since ISSI, testified as to the
duties he and his several assistants had to
perform, one of which was to keep people
irom trespassing, "poachers,'' he called
them. Judge Gregory, for the defendants,
objected to the use of* the word poacher as
an English importation. ''That is what
tuis whole concern is," he said, "an impor
tation of English customs, and that is why
we are lighting it.'"
Witness testified as to the particular de
fendants he had seen shooting on the
grounds and as to the damage they did.
. J. A. Johnson, one of the men employed
by the Cordelia Club, testified, on cross
examination, that in ni3uy places the
sloughs were navigable for yachts of con
siderable size. Similar questions were
asked of the other witnesses. j
The point to be made is that if a slouch
is navigable any one has a right to go on it
and shoot, even if he has not the right to
go on the adjacent land.
When the plaintiffs rested the action as
to defendant" F. Frother, was dismissed.
The defense then stated that the only
evidence they desired to offer was a lease
for pasturage purpose of the Cordelia Club
land to other parties. They are willing to
rely upon the weakness of" plaintiffs' evi
dence and the law.
Arguments were postponed till next
« ednesday.
The defense will'daim tb3tthe plaintiffs
failed to prove a conspiracy between the
defendants and that each was acting indi
vidually. They will also claim that while
the Cordelia Club had a right to shoot over
the ground, they had not acquired any
right to prevent others under the lease.

Here is a brief letter that wiil s;iow the
opinion of one of George E. White's ac
quaintances:
BLOCKSsrRG, Hnmboldt County. Cal. [
November 14, I*s9s. t
To the Editor of the San Francisco Cell— Sir:
You are exposing one of the biggest murderers
and robbers in this State. He keeps a band of
assassins and perjurers around him ail the
time. Those who oppose you in this matter I
have heard denounce him for everything they
could lay their tongues to, and I was surprised
to see their names signed to a paper exoner
ating him in a measure. There is plenty of
material yet for you to write up on G. E. White
of Covelo. He owns or controls nearly every
one in Round Valley. Those he cannot buy
are afraid of him, with a few exceptions, and
none will oppose him. If they do he will do
them up in someway. My nag floats at the
masthead and I will never haul it down.. Will
you please send me The Call of the 21st of Oc
tober, or the paper in which you published a
piece about him. I would like a copr of all the
papers that coutain anything about him, for in
self-defense I will b% compelled to publish a
piece myself. Clarence White has published a
piece about me that is untrue and is apt to do
me an injury, and will have to be straightened
out. If he does not 1 will, through your paper,
with your permission. I have Tub Call of
November Very truly yours, • •

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1895.
THE COVELO MURDERS
A Protest Received From
Friends of George E.
White.
DENY ALL ACCUSATIONS.
The Littlefield Outrage Not
Particularly Dealt
With.
PRESSURE BROUGHT TO BEAR.
The Cattle King Characterizes "The
Call's' Expose as "Absurd"
and "Slanderous."
Some time ago The Call published a re
port of the lynching of .lack Littletield in
Round Valley in this State. The cir
cumstances were of an unusual nature,
and investigations made by representa
tives of this journal indicated the existence
of an organized band of desperadoes in the
mountains adjacent to Round Valley. It
was difficult to fix the responsibility in all
the unlawful occurrences that have marred
the history of tuatpartof the State, yet
some of the dastardly deeds that have been
done in the dark were brought to light.
So far as the statements heretofore pub
lished in The Call are concerned no ex
planation has yet been offered by any one
implicated except by G. E. White, the so
called cattle king. His denial was general,
yet, unsupported as it was by trustworthy
proof, it could not be accepted as a credible
presentation of his side of the controversy.
His own prejudices have been known to
sway him for so long that it was not to be
supposed that he would be entirely un
biased.
Within the past few days two communi
cations have been received by The Call in
regard to the subject of the disclosures
made just after the lynching of Jack Lit
tlftfieldL Tnese communications do not
deal with the Littleiieid outrage, but in a
general way touch upon the past history
of Round Valley, by implication throwing
the blame for all "the crimes of the past
upon the shouluers of cattle-thieves and
others, whose names are not given.
The most impressive document is from
Carter Kohrbough, attorney-at-law, at
Covelo. It is altogetner a type-written pa
per, the letter transmitting the same be
ing as follow? :
Carter Rohrbovgh.
Attorr.ey-at-Law, Covelo, Cal.
November 12, 1895.
lo the Editor of the *<in Frcw:?co Call— Sir:
I have been requested by numerous parties to
forward to you for publication the inclosed
protest, whica speaks ior itself. It is hoped
that you will pxiolish it. If not it will be for
warded to o:her papers. Respectfully,
CARTEE R, aV.BOUGH.
Although the "protest" contains allega
tions unjustly rejecting on The Call's
representative who visited Round Valley
and cbtaiued from residents there the
particulars that were given to the public,
yet the "protest 1 ' is here printed exactly as
written in order that those who wish to go
on record in this niattar may have an
opportunity to do so. As Thh'Call speaks
for all it cannot be said that these signers
have been denied a betting, however dis
courteous they have been in wording the ir
protest. In fact, some of the signers are
not to be held accountable for the senti
ments there expressed, as from them The
Call has obtained some of the facts
heretofore published in these columns.
It is probable that very few of them would
have written such a diatribe, yet when
urged to sign it by influential citizens they
have not had the courage to refuse. It is a
frequent saying in Round Valley that it is
good policy to follow the old rule, namely,
'•When in Rome act as Romans would
act." Following is the document sent by
Mr. Kohrbough."
It may be mentioned, in passing, that
the Rcufboughs, wbo appear to be plenti
fully sprinkled through the document, are
near relatives of George EL White, and
that they have never failed to do every
thing in their power to advance his
material interests.
Coyelo, Cal., October 29. 1595.
To the Editor of the San Francisco Call—
There has appeared in The Call issue of the
20th to the 24th inst. a series of articles pur
porting to be a true history of the troubles in
Round Valley, and the issue of the 22.1 edi
torially stamps it as a true statement. . We ask
space in your columns to say a more faise end
slanderous mass of stuff has never appeared in
the press of this State than you have published
to"the world.
. You say that you sent a special correspondent
up here to get the facts of the matter. If so,
he, being a stranger to these people, why did
he not call on Judtre McGarvey, Sam Wheeler,
Mart Beatchtel, Senator Sea well. J. A. Cooper,
John Buckingham and other?, who are
known to bo among the best men in the State,
and eet the names of men living here of
standing and unimpeachable veracity if you
wished to get a true statement , of the
facts of the matter? But, no: your reporter
came up here, called on a saloon-keeper, who
has only been here a short time, and whose
place is the resort of the parties whom the
good citizens have been trying to punish, for
information in regard to our troubles, and his
actions demonstrated that he did not look for
the truth, but to forward some ulterior pur
pose which you Impute to the citizens of
Round Valley. Would the people and 4 stock
men have paid hundreds of dollars out of their
pockets and spent their time to benefit one
man? No, sir.
Fifty-nine citizens and ranchers signed a
statement, which appeared in the Dispatch of
Ukiah, which you did not publish; but you at
tempt to make heroes out of men who have
committed every crime in the decalogue.
Every attempt that has been made to punish'
them has been met by the vile slanders you
have Indorsed, and the Ukiah Press has circu
lated report? that are false about this sec
tion and which they knew to be false, and they
have upheld the thieves and used every effort
to break down the prosecution.
• You well know that there are large stock
ranges in this and adjoining States ; that stock
men- have trouble with organized bands of
stockthieves. ,Now any man who is well ac
quainted Kith this section and is not either a
liar or a fool will tell yon that we have such a
band here and all attempts to exterminate
them so far have failed.
We -hardly, think that yon would . give so
much space to misrepresent the truth, and ask
you to make an effort to get at the truth of the
matter. All we a«k is the truth and when an
honest effort is made to get at it we are sure
that you will withdraw the statements yon
have made and which have done incalculable
damage to this section of the State if you wish
to do us justice.

In witness- whereof I have hereunto set mv

• I ** 1 ! :■> c. W. Rohrbough, Notary Public
. Soon ; alter the receipt of the document
*rom Mr. Rohrbough another epistle of
similar import was delivered at this otlice.
It has the appearance of being written by
a careful, honest man, who evidently be
lieves what he writes, and it is therefore en
titled to respectful consideration. The
author of this letter is mistaken in some
of his opinions, and in nothing more con
spicuously than in jumping at the con
clusion that an earnest letter authenti
cated by an honest signature would be
unheeded by The Call. He need have no
fear, either," that hia identity will be re
vealed, though from current reports it
would apparently be to his advantage for
that fact to be published.
Several anonymous communications
have been received from Round Valley, but
they have been consigned to the waste
basket, where all such nameless abomina
tions belong. The letter to which reference
is made reads as follows:
Covelo, Nov. 12.
To the Editor of the. San Francisco Call— Sir:
As an old subscriber and well wisher of your
endeavors to make The Call an ideal and
especially clean paper for the benefit of the
people, and fully appreciating your success so
far, and believing yon would not willingly do
any community an injustice, but realizing that
you are liable like all human agencies to be
misled and misinformed, I taKe the liberty of
writing you in relation to ihe terrible articles
published concerning Round Valley matters. I
am a quiet citizen and have no part or interest
in the matter only to have our citizens have
their just dues, and no person is dictating or
knowing of my writing.
The articles published go back thirty or forty
years and relate all the reports and rumors o"f
atrocities that have been related usually in as
many ways as the number of narrators, and
extend over Trinity and Mendocino counties.
To go back and prove the truth in most in
stances has become an impossibility, and the
citizens now protest against being held respon
sible for these crimes anil rumors of crimes
any more than San Francisco citizens are to be
held for the misdeeds and rumors of misdeeds
during and previous to the Vigilance Commit
tee down to the crime of a century.
That unfortunate divorce suit, equally scan
dalous for both sides, has been a great annoy
ance to the people, nearly all being unwilling
witnesses, and now the effort is being made to
appear that all the citizens who protest against
such injustice are terrorized by one man, the
Gonath of the county. If he or anybody elee
is in the habit of hiring people to kill other.*,
why are they not arrested? And what
kind of people could be approached in
that manner? it is penectiy evident all this
outrageous matter is being rehashed and re
vamped in order to influence public opinion,
and the courts, if possible, to get the alimony
and money for lawyers, receivers and attaches
of the divorce suit, they being indifferent en
tirely to the harm they are doing entire com
munities.
Tiie sisters of this divorced woman have been
more fortunate in getting their divorces with
out trouble or expense.
I am not on speaking terms with this Go
liath, not on account of business transactions,
but irom a personal matter in which the pub
lic is not interested, ana would willingly give
my name only for a dislike to any public no
toriety.
I do not expect you will heed this letter, but
I hope you will stop and reflect whether you
are doing a public good or unintentionally
helping one side of the divorce suit and also
helping the thieving part of the community to
keep an entirely false impression before "the
country.
A number of law-abiding citizens have been
endeavoring to detect and bring to justice cat
tle-thieves and are astonished to find they are
Btignratized as White's men by those calling
themselves •nti-White. This is an utterly false
impression, and the reason many do not join
with the honest endeavor is the fear of an
tagonizing the thieving band and either losing
their stock or their votes. City of Covelo.
P. S.— Whether you heed in the least this
communication I irust to your honor to with
hold my name from any person. * • •
Another letter from Round Valley gives
a somewhat different view of the* situa
tion, and corroborates explicitly the ac
counts published in these columns touch
ing the doings of Georgo E. White and his
henchmen. It is as follows:
Covelo, Nov. 8, 1895.
Editor Call— Sis.: The respectable people of
Round Valley and vicinity are grateful to you
for the service you are doing in publishing the
truth about George E. White and companions
in lawlessness. • • • Fortunately, there is
pot so much of this crooked work going on in
the valley as in days gone by, but in the
nountains it is as bad a ever. The killing
of . Jack Littletieid was only a sample of
the work carried to the extreme, Some men
are only bulldozed because that is enough tor
White's men to carry their point, but if they
have to commit murder they do not hesitate to
do so. • • • I think your* correspondent has
overdrawn the picture so far as it concerns the
.valley, bat when 1 it coir to the wild and
wicked X carryings on fn I the 9 mountains
it -would be almost an impossibility to exagger
ate. 1 I think after this a decent, independent
man will have a better chance for his life even
in the mountains, because of The Call's expo
pure." You can understand why I don't want
George A. White and his buckaroos to know
who I am, so, while 1 give you in confidence
my full and true name and address, I will sign
myself incognito. Round Valleyite.
Now, after giving full and free publica
tion to the presentation of every substan
tial aileeation offered by the friends of
George K. White, it is fair to draw atten
tion to these facts:
1. The Call's account of the lynching
of Jack Littlerield. and the evident at
tempt of the first Coroner's jury in Round
Valley to cover up the facts and condone
the murder, has not been explained nor
denied.
2. The Call'? theory of that dreadful
outrage was entirely borne out and estab
lished by the verdict cf the second Cor
oner.-; jury, now on file in the office of the
County Clerk of Tiinity County. It was
shown that White was down on Littiefield
and that White's men murdered him.
3. The Call has not made any accusa
tion against the honest men of Round Val
ley, b%t has souchtto throw light upon the
dark spots of Mendocino County, where
crime has hitherto been rampant, but
where henceforth, thanks to The Call's
timely expose, human life will be held
somewhat dearer, on account of a whole
some dread of exposure that hitherto was
unknown.
Upon this result The Call rests its case
with the peot'ie of the State at large, as
well a? with the decent part of the com

A THREATENING LETTER.
A Man Who Was Talking Too Much
About Jack Littlefleld's
Death.
Weaverville Journal.
Ex-Sheriff James Bowie returned this
week from a trip through the southwest
ern part of the county, where he has been
gathering up and selling some of his cat
tle. He extended his trip to Covelo, in
Mendocino County. He says that tne feel
ing in regard to the killing of Littlefield is
very strong yet and may possibly result in
more trouble. H. D. Willburn of Hetten
shaw rece ntly received a threatening let
ter from parties unknown, warning hfm to
be oaiet. As he had not been particularly
active in the matter, he knew of no reason
why he should have been singled out for
anonymous threats. The letter is dated
Bridgeville. bat is supposed t o have come
from Mad River.
The letter may have" been written and
sent by some witless joker or may be
what it purports to be. In the latter case
we do not apprehend that Mr. Willburn
has anything to fear, as the writer of an
anonymous Tetter is either a coward or a
fool, usually both. Following is a ver

MUST BRING SUIT IN THE HOME COURTS
An Old Principle of Equity
Reasserted Yester
day.
CLAUS SPRECKELS' FIGHT
A Suit Brought in Hawaii by
Gus Spreckels and His
Friends.
ENJOINED BY JUDGE BAHRS.
The Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar
Company Cannot Go Abroad to
Sue Americans.
There is now pending in the courts of
Hawaii a suit brought by the Hawaiian
Commercial and Sugar Company against
Claus SpreckeJs, involved in which is the
ownership of 6000 acres of land on the
island of Maui. The Hawaiian Commer
cial and Sugar Company is formed and
incorporated under the laws of this State,
the other plaintiffs, Russell J. Wilson,
Mountford S^ Wilson, Charles S. Wheeler,
Rudolph Spreckels and B. J. Hoffacter,
are citizens of this State, and the de
fendant, Claus Sprecfcels, is a citizen of
this State. The defendant, under these
circumstances, has a right to have a case
against him tried in the State of which all
parties are citizens, and Mr. Spreckels has
invoked the aid of one of the principles of
equity which guarantees this right. He
has secured an injunction from the Su
perior courts of this City, enjoining the
plaintiffs in the suit in the Hawaiian
courts from bringing any proceedings
against Mr. Spreckela in that far-away
land, and compelling them, if they must
sue, to sue in the courts here at home.
The principle of law and equity which
forms the basis of the proceedings in court
yesterday ia that which gives the courts
ol equity in any country jurisdiction over
the persons of the citizens of the land.
The court here cannot prevent the Ha
waiian court from trying the case, should
it wish to uo so, and if that were possible
in the absence of the plaintiffs, but the
courts of this City can enjoin any one of
the citizens here from proceeding in such a
suit; and if. in defiance of the court's
injunction, they should continue on they
would all be liable for contempt of the
local tribunal.
The same principle was applied by Gus
Ppreckels, about a year and a half ago, in
his suit against his father to prevent the
foreclosing of some island mortgages.
Claus Spreckeis intended to foreclose
through the island courts, but his son
secured an injunction upon the very rule,
and proceedings had to be transferred to
here.
The suit being brought in Hawaii, al
though apparently only for the possession
of tKWO acres of land, does in truth include
the entire relations of Claus Spreckela to
the company which he formed.
Prior to IS7S Claus Spreckeis went to the
islar 13 to investigate the possibility of
establishing a sugar plantation on the
island of Maui. On his return here he
formed the Hawaiian Commercial Com
pany under the laws of this State, asso
ciatine with himself Herman Schussler,
ex-Governor Frederick F. Low, William
Babcock and Herman Bendel. That com
pany was succeeded in 18S2 by the de
fendant in the suit tiled yesterday.
As one of the laws of the "Hawaiian
kingdom wns that no foreign corporation
should hold lands in the islands, it was
decided that whatever property the com
pany procured should rest in the name of
Claus Spreckeis, he to hold it in trust for
the corporation. One of the possessions of
the company was at that time 16,000 acres
of land in the Ahupuaa of Wailulu, held
under lease from the crown. The entire
tract, known a? the Ahupuaa of Wailulu,
consists of 24,000 acre?.
The crown lands of the Hawaiian kine
dom, and they include valuable acres in
every one of the islands, had two claim
ants. King Kaiakaua claimed them by
right of royal power, and as the successor
to King Kamehameha; the Princess Keeli
kolani, daughter of one of the Kamehame
has, claimed by right of heirship. The
Princess wns deeply in debt, and in 1830
she sold her interest in these crown lands,
wherever situated, to Claus Spreckeis. He
paid her $70,000, $10,000 of which was in
cash and $GO,OOO in the nature of a loan.
She had been paying 12 per cent interest
on her debts, but as part of the considera
tion for the purchase Spreckeis assumed
the debts for 6 per cent per annum. This
was a personal transaction between Claus
Spreckeis and the Princess Keelikolani.
Havine purchased an interest in all of
the crown lands, the titles of the crown
and those of Spreckeis were continually
becoming entaneled. So, two years after,
it was asreed that Spreckeis would release
all claims upon the crown lands elsewhere
if King Kaiakaua would release the
crown's internet in the Ahupuaa of Wai
luku and transfer it to him. This was
done by royal patent and by a special act
of the Hawaiian Legislature in August,
ISB2. Spreckeis then turned over to the
company, on September 25, 1352, all prop
erty he held in trust for its benefit. The
company had by that time been organized
under the name of the Hawaiian Commer
cial and Bugar Company. On February
27, 1385, Mr. Spreckeis sold" to the com
pany 18,000 acres of the Ahupuaa of Wai
luku, included in the tract being the 16.000
acres the company had originally secured
by lease from the crown before" the land
itself came into Mr. Spreckeis' possession.
The deed to the l*.ooo acres was made by
Mr. Spreckeis individually under the di
rection of the company's attorneys, and
was accepted by it as wholly satisfactory.
The remaining 6000 acres are the ones in
dispute.
The claim is made that the transactions
which finally led the Ahupuaa of Wailuku
into Mr. Spreckeis' possession were by
him a? agent for the company. At the
time of the negotiations with the Princess
Keehikolani and subsequently with King
Kaiakaua Mr. Spreckeis was not a director
in the company, nor did he act in any way
as its agent. From ISS2 until the time the
suit was brought there was never any
question as to first his ownership of the
24,000 acres of the Ahupuaa and afterward
of the 6000 acres which the company did
not buy.
The complaint in injunction concludes
with the following statement of the events
subsequent to the transfer of February 27,
1885, and of the points upon which the ap
plication for an injunction is based:
In 1394 the plaintiff sold and transferred to
C. A. Spreckeis his stock and all his interest in
said Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar Com
pany, and said C. A. Spreckeis thereupon be
came, and, as plaintiff believe*, has hitherto
continued to be the owner of said stock and
that from that time to the present the "aid C
A. Snreckels has been, in point of lact the
owner of the controlling interest in and power
of said company, and the persons who have
composed the boards of directors of the
same have been named by him and
have, in every way, acted in subordination
to ihe wishes and directions of said C A
Spreckeis. The composition of said board is as
follows: Rudolph Spreckeis, who U a brother
and B. J. Hoffacker, who is a brother-in-law oi
said C. A- Spreckeis: Mount ford S \Yii«on
Russell J. Wilson and Charles S. Wheeler who
are and were axtoraeys-at-law in the employ of
said C. A. Spreckeis. Said board of directors
have exercised and still exercise bat nominal
and titular functions, and nave passed a resolu
tion by which they practically, and in fact if
not In lair, Have delegated and surrendered all
their powers and the whole management of
the affairs of said corporation to C. A. Spreck
els.
C. A. Spreckels is a son of the plaintiff. Claus
Sprecke's, and was from the yeur 1878 till the
year 1893 perfectly familiar with all the affairs
of said plaintiff, and with every fact and cir
cumstance attending the acquisition by said
plaintiff of the title in fee to the Ahupuaa of
wailuku, and with all the facts and things
done in relation thereto by said plaintiff, in
cluding all transactions and relations between
him uud the Hawaiian Commercial Company
and the Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar Com
pany. C. A. Spreckels well knows, and at ail
times has well known, that said 6000 acres of
said Ahupuaa which are brought in dispute
are the property of this plaintiff, and that the
Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar Company has
not, and Dever has had any right or title
thereto, either in law or in equity, and has
never asserted or thought of asserting any
claim thereto, until said C. A. Spreckels ot>
tained control of said company.
Nevertheless, C. A. Spreckels, In pursuance
of a systematic nlan which he has followed
for years past to harass and annoy the plain
tiff."and for no other purpose, has instigated
and caused the board of directors of said
Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar Company to
authorize the action to be prosecuted against
the plaintiff, and has caused said action to be
brought in the courts of the Hawaiian Islands,
where neither he nor any member of the board
of directors of said Hawaiian Commercial and
Sugar Company resides, and where none of the
members of the former boards of directors of
said company who are still living reside,
and where the said corporation has
neither its office nor books nor records, instead
of having the same brought in the courts of the
State of California, in which all of said parties
reside, and in which said corporation has its
office, books and records, in further pursuance
of said plan to annoy said plaintiff and to place
him at a disadvantage in the maintenance of
his defense to said action and the production
of witnesses to support the same.
The defendant ought not in equity and good
conscience to be permitted to maintain and
continue its aforesaid action in the courts of
the republic of Hawaii for the following rea
sons among the many which might be sug
gested:
1. The plaintiff and the defendant, as well as
the defendants, Russell J.Wilson, Mountford
S. Witson, Charles S. Wheeler. Rudolph Spreck
els and B. J. Hoffacker, are citizens oi the State
of California.
2. The residence of all the parties who at any
time have acted as directors or officers of the
Hawaiian Commercial Company and the Ha
waiian Commercial and Sugar Company, who
are now living, is the State of California.
Among these are Hermann Beiidel, Hermann
Schussier, n. L. Dodge, John D. Sprecktls, A.
B. Spreckels, William Babcock and Antoine
Borel.
3. All books of account and records of sa:d
corporations and of the plaintiff and of the
defendants and of all said persons are here in
the State of California, and may here be com
pelled to be produced in court.
4. The testimony of all said persons is nec
essary and indispensable to prove some one
or more essential lacts of the defense of said
plaintiff to said bill of complaint. The pro
duction in evidence of the records and books
of account of said cornoration, as well as those
of said plaintiff, is also necessary and indis
pensable for the same purpose. But there is
no process by which the attendance of such
parties, or any of them, as witnesses can be
secured before the courts of the republic of
Hawaii, nor is ihere any process by which the
production of said books or records, or any of
them, can be enforced before the courts. The
persons above named are all engaged in large
and important affairs, and even it they could
be persuaded to leave their business and
homes in this State to go to the
Hawaiian Islands they could only do so with
great loss end Inconvenience to themselves,
and enormous cost to the plaintiff. And the
said documentary evidence, "books and records,
would for a long time be kept out of the State,
and the places in which it is required to be
kept, and would be twice exposed to the perils
of the sea, and the danger of loss and mutila
tion while so improperly without the jurisdic
tion of this State.
There is> no process by which the said parties,
or any of them, could be compelled to give
their depositions in thus State to be used in the
courts of said republic? of Hawaii, nor by which
the production of sa.i documentary evidence,
books and records could be enforced beiore any
officer of tliis Slate to be similarly v.sed.
5. The bill of complaint alleges that certain
agreements and contracts were entered into
between plaintiff and other persons, to wit:
Hermann Schussler, Henn jn Bendel, F. F.
Low nd W. F. Babcock, and said bill of com
plaint is largely based upon the alleged duties
and obligations springing from said alleged
agreements and contracts. AH of said alleged
agreements and contracts, if made at all. were )
made within the Stale of California. The opii- <
gatious. if any, arising under them, arise, if at
all, and must be ascertained and measured by
the laws of said State as interpreted by its
courts; and the plaintiff has a clear, legal '-,
and equitable right to have said agree- ;
ments and contracts, if they exist, ascertained j
and measured by this standard. Those iaiv-.,
and the construction which the courts of th's
State have placed upon them, if defendant is
permitted to proceed in his said action in the
courts of the Hawaiian Islands, will have to be
proved as facts before said courts, for said
courts cannot take judicial cognizance thereof.
To establish by competent evidence in such a
foreign aud distant tribunal, the laws and de
cisions of this State would be an undertaking
involved in great doubt and uncertainty,
jeopardizing the legal and equitabie rights of
said plaintiff. .
6. The bill of complaint alleges that certain
fiduciary relations existed between the plain
tiff and "the Hawaiian Commercial Company
and the Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar Com
pany, arising both from express trusts created
L>y contract, and implied trusts arising from
positions alleged to have been occupied by
plaintiff toward said corporation, and said bill
of complaint is largely based upon the alleged
duties and obligations of said plaintiff spring
ing from said fiduciary relations. The existence,
nature and extent of said fiduciary relations,
if any existed, are to be determined by the
laws of this State as interpreted by its courts.
The laws of the republic of Hawaii upon said
matters are different from those of this State,
and if defendant is permitted to proceed in
such action in said republic, plaintiff's rights
under the laws of this State will be impaired,
if not wholly destroyed.
7. The prosecution of said action in the
courts of the republic of Hawaii, a foreign
State, is an effort on the part of the defendant
to evade the laws of the State of its own crea
tion and residence, to wit, of this State, and to
deprive the plaintiff of the benefit of said laws,
to which he is justly entitled.
8. By reason of their remoteness from the
place of residence of the parties and the
sources of evidence, Doth oral and docu
mentary, it is impossible for the courts of the
republic of Hawaii, learned, able and just
though they are, to do complete justice be
tween the parties, but the matters in contro
versy can be adjusted and the ends of justice
fuily attained in the courts of this State in a
manner both just, economical and expeditious.
9. The action brougnt by the defendant here
in the courts of the Hawaiian republic, as
above stated, was brought under the instiga
tion of one who for years has pursued a
systematic plan of annoying, vexing and har
assing the plaintiff, and has been instituted
through his instigation for no other purpose
than thui of annoying, vexing and harassing
him.
10. For more than twelve years last past the
defendant has had full knowledge of all
facts and circumstances upon which it now
seeks to base its alleged equitable right; ; and
during all of said years and at all times ■ men
tioned iv its said bill of complaint the defend
ant has consented to and acquiesced in each
and all the deeds of plaintiff in the premises,
and if it ever had cause of complaint against
the plaintiff, which the plaintiff denies, it has
now in equity and good conscience, lost the
right to enforw that i right by reason of its
stale ness; and the plaintiff is entitled to have
said lack of equity in the defendant enforced
against it in accordance with the laws of this
State as interpreted by its courts.
11. When plaintiff's conveyances ana trans
fers were made to the defendant as herein al
leged, respectively on the 25th day of Septem
ber, 1882, and the 27th day of February, ISSS,
the deeds of said conveyance were delivered to
and accepted by said defendant as a full dis
charge ol any and every duty which the plain
tiff may have owed it at said dates respec
tively by reason of the facts alleged; and were
by said defendant, with full knowledge of all
the facts and circumstances attending said
transactions wnich may have influenced its
judgment, accepted in full discharge oi said
duty; and the defendant is now estopped by
its said conduct to deny that said duty was by
said plaintiff therein fully discharged; and
plaintiff is entitled to have said estoppel
ascertained and enforced in accordance with
the laws ot this State as interpreted. by its
courts. ■■.-•; - -

defendant, and without protest ■; on* its j. part,
plaintiff has expended large sums in tee im
provement of said lands. in making said ex

lin or to said lands, or any part thereof. If de
fendant had at any of the times mentioned^ m
I its said bill, any equitable right, it has long

as aforesaid, and the estoppel rising from said
i laches the plaintiff is ; entitled to nave ascer
tained and enforced in accordance with the
laws of this State as interpreted h y. il *f>. u " s ,\,
By reason of the matters and things herein
above set forth, the plaintiff will be irreparably
in jured unless said defendants and l each of
them, their turents, employes and ail other per
sons in privity with them, or any of them,
shall be restrained and enjoined by this hon
j orable court as hereinafter prayed for.
Plaintiff has no plain, speedy and adequate
' remedy in the premises in the ordinary course
! Wherefore, plaintiff prays that said de
fendant, the Hawaiian Commercial and sugar
Company, be enjoined from further prosecut
ing it* aforesaid action in the courts -of the
republic of Hawaii, and that the defendants,
Rudolph Spreckels, Russell J.Wiisou, Mount
ford S. Wilton, Charles S. W heeler and B. J.
! Hoffacker, the directors of said Hawaiian Com
i mercial and Sugar - Company, be enjoined
I from passing any resolution, or doing any act
j or thing in furtherance of the further prosecu-
I tion of said action; and for such other and
! further relief as to equity may seem meet; and
j costs of suit. - *
The injunction was granted by Judge

I in the injunction suit to obey the court's
I order or move for its dismissal. In the latter .

WILSON'S GREAT POWER
New Civil Service Rule From
President John R.
Proctor.
Allows the Consolidation of -Post
offices and Interests Cleveland's
Appointees.
Postmaster McCoppin received yesterday
from President John R. Proctor of the
Civil Service Commission an amendment
to section 2 of posta! rule 1, the effect of
which would be to bring about a general
consolidation of postotfices. The amend
ment is as follows:
And whenever, by order of the Postmaster-
General, any postoffice shall be consolidated
with and made a part of another postothce
where free deliver? is established all the em
ployes of the office thus consolidated whos«
names appear on the roster of said office ap
proved by the Postoffice Department, and in
cluding the Postmaster thereof, shall, from the
date of said order, be employes of said free
delivery office, and the person holding on the
date of "said order the position of Postmaster at
the office thus consolidated with said free
delivery office may be assigned to any position
therein' and given any appropriate designation
under the classirication act which the Post
master-General may direct.
It was Secretary Richardson's opinion
that by this amendment it would be pos
sible to consolidate the postoffices at Ban
Rafael, Sausaiito, Redwood City ana other
places in this vicinity with the Pan Fran
cisco Postothce, and that likewise across
the bay Oakland could take in Temescal
and Fruitvale.
The intention, as Assistant Postmaster
i Doyle explained it, is evidently to sys-
t ematize tbe entire country into circie3,
j each hating its head in its most populous
■ center, and it is supposed that what caused
I the amendment was the desire of the Post
' master-General to have simplified t: 9
! work of reporting to Washineton. As it
i is, every little fourth-class postoffice makes
a separate report to Mr. Wilson, and the
', mass of details to be handled is almost
; overwhelming.

Man's View
Of Marriage.
"IS MARRIAGE A
FAILURE?"
It is not uncommon for men to bewail the
fact that marriage so seldom means a real I
companionship — that man and wife are
separated by difference of taste, of mental
outlook, of general interest in life. It is
perhaps even more common to hear women
blamed for what is called breach of tract
in the marriage relation. If the ' wife be
delicate, run-down, nervous and irritable,
if her smile and her spirits have taken.
flight, it worries her husband as well as
herself. Even worse symptoms may fol-
| low — the woman suffers from sleeplessness
and fainting spells, her head is in a whirl,
her back aches, and she has that awful
crowding-down feeling in the abdomen. It
I depends on the woman whether she will
permit these troubles to continue day by
! day leading to a life of misery.
Thousands have been cured by taking Dr.
Pierces Favorite Prescription, and why not
j you? A healthy woman is always interest-
ing : she passes for a beauty because she is ;
happy, and her good spirits are contagious.
Good nature goes with health ; irritability
and peevishness with sickness.
