Bitter Contest Over the Owner- ship of Established Trade-Name, iJn‘lge Seawell Decides That W. H. | Nolan May Not Use the Sign ‘ “Nolan Brothers.” Judge Seawell of the Superior Court banded down an opinion in the case of No Bros. Shoe Company against W. H. Nolan, wherein the plaintiff sought to re- | strain the defendant from using the trade name of *'Nolan Brothers’’ on his busi- ness s Itis a family row, and when I afan row gets into court itis always | bitterly contested. | In the complaint it is alleged that W. H. Nolan has unlawfully and with intent | to deceive the public and to take away customers from the plaint.ff adopted the trade name ‘‘Nolan Brothers,” displaying the same in large letters on the Market- treet sign, while above the said trade pame in small letters appears the legend, “W. H. Nolan & Co., successors to.” veral affidavits were filed on behalf of Speaking for himself the | W. H. Nolan. | defencant swears that he did not use the | trade name to deceive, but says it has | | been used by him 1or several years be- ¢ it represents the truth; that he was formerly in partnership with his brother, J. C. Nolan, in the shoe business; that he bot out the interests of his brother in | 1803, ever since which he has carried on business as “W. H sors to Nolan Bros.’ Both sides lay great stress on the fact that by extensive newspaper advertising | they have created a large value for the trade name claimed by them in carrying on their business. An interesting disclosure is made | by the detendant that the term *life-sav- ing snoe’’ 1s of no particuiar importance, as itis not a trademark and that it may bte olan & Co., succes- applied to any welied shoe. A counter ct e of intent to defraud is made agamst the plaintiff company, it being said | . ¥. Nolan & Sons. th at their firm name was form. rly { history of the Nolan family’s shoe trad | He says that it appears that in 1873 J. lan and P. F. Nolan formed a partner- | ship for the retail shoe business under the | firm name oi Nolan Bro:hers, which con- | tinued uniil 1884, when J. C. transferred | to P. F. all lus interest in the business, | trade, rame and good will; that in 1877 | the business concern known as Nolan Brothers removed to 738 and 740 Market | street, and in 1881 to 812 and 8i4 Market, where they and their successors have cir- ried on business ever since; that in 1884 P. | F. Noian after the dissolution of his part- | nership with J. C. Nolan formed another partnership with his sons under the firm { name of P. F. Nolan & Sons, which firm was subsequently incorjoraled as the | Nolan Brothers Shoe Company and has | carried on said business ever since. In the court’s opinion P. F. Nolan & | | Sons did not lose their right to the use of | the trade name Nolan Bros, but were | entitled to use it either alone or jointly | with any other firm uname or corporate | title that they wisned. It is found that the firm of Nolan Bros. composed of W. H. Nolan and J. C. | Noian, which was formed in 1855 and which was dissolved in 1893 by J. C. seli- | ing his interest to W. H., wita the excep- | tion of the good will, carried on a whole- | | sale boot and shoe business at 10 and 12 Satter street, but had nothing to do with | retail business. It is upon this point | that Judge Seaweil bases his decision | which grants an injunction to the plain- | tiff on 1he filing ¢f a $3000 bond. ihe name “Nulan Bros.,” the court decides, | does not belong to W. H. Nolan for the purpose of engaving in the retail business, aund the use ol that trade name, even with the explanatgry words in small letiers, | may not be permitted. So W. H. Noian must change his sign, unless Le can se- cure from the Supremie Court a reversal of Judge Seawell’s aecision. | EXAMINER MEN EXAMINED Taking of the Leposiions of A. M, Lawrence and T. T.

WAITING NEWS ON THE [SLANDS Some BrotherlyCriminations| The Mail Steamer City of The Blythe Estate Case Peking Held Over at Honolulu, Tidings Were Expected by the Mariposa From San Francisco, Word of the President’s Action Reached Hawaii via England and Hongkong. Annexationists, Chri-tian Endeayorers and “school marms” were the principal passengers on the steamer Australia that arrived from Hawaii yesterday. In one scction the main topic was *‘the Paradise of the Pacific,” in anotoer “What can we do to save the islands?” and in the third all and sundry were deep in the subject of the benefits that would accrue to the islands if only they were a part and parcel of the United Siates. The cabin vassengers who came up on the steamer were: Dr. Bryant, wife and child, Miss A. Bruce, Mrs. Alics Brow: . Charles Browne, B. F. Beardmore, Cosn, Master R.Conn, Sennor A. de S.

While the Australia was lying at the whari the steamer City of Peking, from China and Japan, arrived with 1700 tons of freight aboard for the Hawaiian mer- chants. Every effort was made to get the | stuff out, but when the Australia sailed there were stili 800 tons of the stuff to be | got out, and eve-n then ihe vessel was two hours late. The Australia sailed at 4 p. M. and the City of Peking was expected to leave two hours later. As the Mariposa with the annexation news was expected at any moment the people on the Aus- tralia thought the China boat would be held as long as possible, in order to bring the news of the jubilee that was held in Honolulu over the news of the passage of the new law by th: Senate of the United States. “All of Hawaii ison the tip-toe of ex- pectation,”” said B. Lathrop yesterday. “The whites want annexation and we may | as well be candid, the Kanakasdon't. It is, however, neck or nothing with thi island republic, and should this move| ment fail why everybody will have to fal back on his own resources. Idon’tthin however, that the action of the Senu will make much difference in politics dow! there in any event. “The City of Peking had a large cargo discnarge and the stevedores were hard a work on her when we left. The Mariposa with the news of the annexation question was expecied at every moment and a dem- onstration was ready for (Le genera public as soon @s the news arrived. “The newsof the Presilent’s action was telegraphed from New York to London and from there it was forwarded to Hong- kong. Reuters sentit to Yokohama and there it cau:nt the Ctty of Peking and thus reached Honolulu. There was al- most a public demonstration when the news was made public, but gradually the people quieted down and prepared for later developments.

He was at Jeast five hours late in making his dock, and did not know whether he shou!d blame the Christian Endeavorers or the “school marms.”” Finally he com- promised, and told the reporters that it was ‘“'a strong head wind’’ that caused the delay.

There was another change 1n the cup- tains of the steaw schooner Coquille River on her last trip. Captain H. H. Cooper resigned his position ana Captain H. Col- lins took his place. The vessel has not been altogether a success, as she was ex- pected (0 make 14 knots on ber trial, and now barelv av:ra es 9 knots, The wrecker Whitelaw has ost com- pleted her work on the Pacitic Improve- ment Company’s San Pedro. The vessel went ashore on a ledze at the entrance to Victoria, B. C, and ever since has been a menace to navigation. It was decided to remove the hulk and place a lightbouse on the ledge, and the Whitelaw was called from this port to ao the work. Nearly all the machinery and hull of the wrecked steamer have been recovered, but the 3000 tons of coal that formed her carge are at the bottom of the sound and will never tent purnt. Lost The halibut industry got a setback yes- terday. The schooner Piiot arrived here last week, and since then there has been no demand for fish. Even though tie price was only 5 cents 3 pound, there were no buyers, and yesterday the schooner was taken out into the bay by the health authorities and 2500 pounds of fish wers dumped into the bay. MORTON SPLCIAL DELIVERY. { Federal Court. MRS. HINCKLEY GAINS A POINT Reopeued in the Fed- eral Court, Judge Morrow May Yet Nullify His Decree Made on Saturday. Florence's Possession of the Property Left Undisturbed for Awhile. Big The decision of United States Judge Morrow in the Blythe estate casein which he awarded tne entire property of the dead millionaire to the Blythe ccmsany, on default, rroduced a decided sensation around town and for atime “rattlea’’ the many attorneys engaged in the litigation. Under the decree and order the estate went to a few outsiders who had pur- chased the interests of a number of the original claimants, known as the glish or Liverpoo! Blythes. It happened in this way. John W. and Henrv T. Blythe began an action in the Federal courts against Mrs. Florence Blythe-Hinckley and the Bivtbe Company. The case be- came very much complicated by the many amendments, demurrers, cros; bills, etc., and the last feature was another suit or cross complaint brought by the Blythe company against the others for a full pos- session of the entire estate, According to the records al! the neces- sary papers were served on the defend- ants, but no response was made thereto, and after the legal lause of time the Judge made a decree for the company, 71his was a hard pill to swallow, especiaily atter the attornevs for Mrs. Hinckley had foucht for her rights for the pastten or twelve years and had won their case in the State courts. W. H. H. Hart, the latter’s nttorney, deciared that the whole matter was a mistake on the part of the Judge, who evidenuy had not been in- formed of certain orders made by Judze McKenna as long ago as lart February relative to a motion made by Mr. Hart for a dismissal of the entire malter in the Mr. Haru rested on lieved that all hung up in th decided, an out the convened t and gave the le Hingkiey the mui g to getn their petition, which they were | not siow to do. The petition was to set aside the decree and order taken in default | pro confesso and to dismiss the proceed- ings, Tue peiition recited three causes why the decree should not prevail. Ihe | first was that there was no gervice ¥pon Mrs. Florence Blythe Hinckley by ‘the plaintiffs, the Blyihe Comvariy. Thelady | was out of town at the time and the paper was handed to Mrs. Harry Hinckley, a sister-in-law, and thus the return was defective. The next point was the oraer of Judge McKenna, previously mentioned. And the last was that the entire Blythe case had been exhaustively-tried and set- tled in the State court and that the Fed- eral court has no jurisdiction whatever. Of cou-se the attorneys for the Blythe ! Company obj cted to the reconvening of the court in the first j¥ace, and to the ad- mission _of the petition in the second place. Mr. Tow!le protested thatthe court had no right under the law (o reopen the court, and that be ng <o, had no right to receive or consider such a petition as pre-| sented. 1lle was overruled, whereupon he asked that the court appoint a rec:iver 1o | look after the property und collect the | rents. Judge Morrow said that he had no in- | clination o do so or to disturb present | possession. So he issued an order staying | all_proceedings and left Mrs. Hinckley in | possession of the Blytne black. He said that he will dispose of the matter as qnicklv as possitle, with justice ro all par- ties. This wiil be one of the first cases taken up in the July term.

REAL ESTATE MARKET REVIEW This City Considered the Best Place for In- vestment. / A Protest Against the Increase of Street Work in the Suburbs. A Contractor Makes Complaint—Re- view of the Records in Real Estate Transactions. Matters in the realty line continue rather quiet. They are better, however, than is general y expecte this season, for a lu.l m the real esiate world never fails to come after the celebration of the natal holiday. This is due to various reasons, some known and some inexplicable. Buyers will naturally rest easily until the tax rate has been fixed and it is definitely as- certained whether or not the burden of taXu- tion has to be borne more heavily or light- ened. No auctions have yet been announced for week. Sales held during the last week yielded very falr returns. The building interests are still active, but the class of improvements entered on is of & cheaper nature. Theamountof mouey in the business here has suffered a contracuion; there can be no doubt of that. The cheapness of building material probebly accounts for the fact that the total value of contracts e ntered into last month was u goud deal less than in June of previous years. From $1000 to $5000 gives the general finan- cial limit of the cost of improvements nows- da which are commonly of the framework orc Several more costly structures are in prospect jor the immediaie future, however, among them being a five-story brick structure on the corner of Market and Spear streets; L. H. Sly’s six-story brick and stone building on | the southern line of Ellis street, between Mason and Powell, and a few other enterprises of .ike character.
