It is claimed by lawyers that the prison system of the islands is very defective in that it fails to make the proper distinctions between petty of- fenders and prisoners who are confined for serious crimes. The next Legislature will be asked to change the rules so these difficulties may be corrected. It is claimed that umless the proper distinctions are made the po- lice or district courts will not be able (o do business. Under American law crim- inals charged with “infamous” offenses have a right to Grand Jury indictments, Hawalian laws, making_ all prisoners, even those in for petty offenses, liable to hard labor, bring even drunks under this category. Still another difficuity growing out of the change of laws was developed yester- day in the district court, where Edwin s. 511, editor of the Republican, was on ai for criminal libel on account of his paper's accounts of the recent Bar Asso- ciation banquet. It was contended by the defense that Gill, unger American law, right to both indictment by a Grand Jury before trial and to a jury trial in the first instance. The district court could not give the latter. The case was thrown out of court on the ground that it was the business of the Grand Jury before it came before a court. The discovery has heen made that by Con- ctment that abso- le of intoxicating of Hawali. The = has made an en prohibits the s liquors in the Territory enactment was undoul.te: an error, as the discussions that took place on 'the subject show, but it iz clearly in the biil, and it seems likely to resuit, owing to the fact that there Is no penalty, in throw | the liquor business wide open till the Ter. ritorial Legislature meets. In section 55 of the Territorial bill are the words, “Nor shall spirituous.or intox. fcating liquors be sold except under such nd restrictions as the The Territorial Legisiature has not met vet and cannot meet for some months un- less there is a special session, hence no regulations at all have been made or pro- vided. The words of Congress are there- fore interpreted as meaning that no lquor shail be sold In the Hawailan Islands. The most serious feature of the mistake, if such it is that the words of the or- ganic law of the islands may act as a re- peal of old Hawaiian laws which provide for licenses for liquor selling. If the old rules and restrictions are vold the penal- ties for violating them fall with them, and Hawail is for the time being a “wide open’” country. The point wa McClanahan in a suit against the Hollis- ter Drug Company for <elling pure aicohol under a license for methylated spirits. Tt was overruled in the Police Court, but will be appealed. and liquor men under sentence for viol license laws are preparing to take advantage of the seem- ing error on the part of the lawmakers, | SPEAK AT THE BAZAAR TO STOP John's ¥ ague of t Cross Cadets gavi r arill the main hall of the At the cl. of the drill they were dismissed by Cap- the boys visited were the lions of the Father Yorke | tain Wesphler and oths Games in various b vening.

MORE NEW LAW FOR THE OWNERS OF MINES The Supreme Court has rendered a de- cision of interest to miners and pros- pectors. Houston Mann brought an ac- tion against Al Budlong and George Deck to determine his possessory right to a quartz mining claim called the Ontario mine. Budlong and Deck alleged a failure on the part of Mann to perform the neces- sary amount of work required by law, and in the lower court they won. It seems that Mann also owned the Jeanette claim on the same lode, which was a continuous and overlapping claim of the Ontario Jo- cation. He drove several tunnels in the Jeanette claim for the purpose of devel- oping both properties. and this work rep- resented more labor and money than re- quired for both claims. The lower court found that the work | performed on the Jeanctte claim did ot tend to develop the Ontario, but the Su- preme Court holds otherwise: [t says that the court shall not substitute its own Judimem and wisdom as to the best methods of developing the mine in place of that of the owner. The higher court holds that the tunneling tended to de- velop both mines, and the cost of the work being far in excess of what is re- quired by law and the work being progress at the time of the defendant's entry it cannot be sald that the original location had been abandoned.

Miss cKinstry was formerly a trained nurse at the Presidio, and she has already re- celved the approval of Archbishop iflt)r<' dan in her d work. His Grace insisted, however, that the clinic be made non- sectarian, o that members of all religions would be’ treated. An eight-room house has been secured and is now partlally fitted up. There is a reception room, 4 dispensary, well stocked with drugs of a descriptions, and an operating room. Surgical {nstru- ments have been contributed by the ladies and several doctors who have interested themselves in the movement. The clinic will be maintained by voluntary contribu- tions and by the doctors, who will assess themselves ~ for the cause until money enough is coming in to pa¥ the expenses without their help. Rev. Father Woods of St. Ignatius Church and Rev. Father Patrick Cummings of St. Patrick’s Chureh will also lend their support. The list of physicians who will consti- tute the medical staff of the Merey Clinic includes Dr. John R. McMurdo, eve, ear, nose and throat: Dr. A. B O'BriSn. gen- ito-urinary diseases; Dr. Vincent P. Buek- ley and Dr. A. W. Perry, general medi- eine; Dr. Theodore Rethers, surgery; Dr. Robert J. G. O'Connell. diseases of ‘chil- dren; Dr. E. F. Donnelly. skin and nerv- ous diseases; Dr. C. C. Mohun, gynecol- ogy. The doctors will select assistants as the exigencies will require. Edward Glea- son has been appointed druggist, and a small charge for medicines to cover their cost will be made to patients able to pay, that being the only expense connected with the institution. Miss McKinstry s also the head of the aistrict nurses’ bureau connected with the clinic. Two nurses are kept busy attend- ing the sick poor and are paild by the ladies interested in the movement. . —_—— C. M. Dufficy Appointed. Port Collector Jackson has appointed . M.

The leaguers in Elk- horn and Liberty townships had worked tooth and toenail for the success of their plan and were confident of forming a sa; tary district to be known as the “Cucumis Sanitary District.” Lodi is in Elkhorn Township, as is Woodbridge. Already the canvass had been made and the petition presented to the Board of Supervisors, and it was expected that a call for a vote on the question would be issued by the board for next month. Bitter feeling was aroused between the sanitary people and those favoring the saloons, ome anti-sa- loon man alone spending $500 for his cause. The anti-saloon followers held a big meeting last night In the Christian church, every church in town joining the assembly. Rev. W. H. Scudder addressed the throng, but instead of a hot temper- ance speech he rather scourged the church people for their treatment of the young and old, whom they proposed to save from saloon temptation. “Have you any place a young man can go into at night except “Have you any place open to the young men of your town? ave you a reading room, a hall, a gymnasium or any place where they can meet? There is no place open to them but the saloon. Why don’t you, in ihe name of God, why don't you concentrate the efforts of your churches to giving the young man & chance? By opening such a place 1 believe you could almost run the saloon out of town by that alone. I b | lleve in practical religion, but it is a won- der what a_mighty little bit of practical religion some of us have. How many pights in the week is this church open? What attractions do you offer the young people? Here is your opportunity. Do the practical thing. Open places where your boys can go. Don’t damn the saloon- keepers but yourselves for not offering your boys attractions elsewhere.” The gentleman's speech made a pro- found stir, though. as might be expected. not all his hearers took kindly to ft. It has been the main topic_on the streets to-day, and it IS expected that the anti- saloon people will take the new idea and give it a trial. et e Clmine YOUTHFUL HORSETHIEF.
