Special Dispatch to The Call HONOLULU, July 4—United States Dis- trict Attorney Breckons has discovered & case in which he finds himself compelled to wink at a serlous violation of a Federal law. It is nothing less than embezzle- ment from a postoffice, and yet the Dis- trict Attorney has made no effort to ar- rest the gullty person or to have him in- dicted. The reason for this strange in- actlvity is that the offender was post- master at the leper settlement and is a leper. The postmaster is alleged to have stolen & package, which was addressed to & woman who is at the settlement from Honolulu. He is a leper and the woman is a leper, in the last stages of the disease. ~All the witnesses are lepers. The only way to try the case would be to hold a session of the United States Court at Kalaupapa, but even if this should be done the question of what to do with the defendant after cenviction is one for which there is no solution. The Terri- torial jail would certainly not recelve him and that s the only one at the disposal of the United States. After a careful investigation of the case Breckons 'has, decided that the man is gullty all right, but that it is best not to prosecute unless the Deparment of Jus- tice ghould order otherwise. .

Sovereign Deposed by the Storthing Again Declares Constitution Violated. STOCKHOLM, July 4~—An order for, the mobilization of the Swedish army has been issued and a proclamation to this eficet will be issued within a week. The mobilization ‘intended am a meaun of giving added force to any pro- posal for settlement which the special committee appointed by the Riksdag may make to the Norweginn Storthing. King Oscar granted a private audi- ence to a correspondent at the royal palace to-day. In a lengthy conversa- tion, his Majesty expressed his views on the present situation and said em- phatically that he would never allow any of his sons or his grandsons to accept the Norwegian throne, In speak- ing of the attitude of Norway, the King displayed deép emotion and expressed his heartfelt sorrow at Norway's treat- ment of him after forty-two years of unceasing labor for her happiness and prosperity. His Majesty said he wished to convey his gratitude for hundreds of expres- sions of sympathy receivéd from the United States. In the course of the conversation, King Oscar reiterated his official utter- ances regarding his position on the consular biil passed by the Storthing and the events which followed his veto of it, and said: “When the King of Norway considers that the welfare of the country de- mands that he shall veto a bill passed by the Storthing, his right to do so is unconditionally shown in Norway's constitution and he would be false to his oath if he did not exercise this right in accordance with his conscience. “The constitution gives the Storthing the power to pass a measure over my veto, prescribing, however, that this can be done only by the bill being passed by three consecutively elected Storthings. The consular bill was passed by only one Storthing. “As King of Norway, it was of the utmost necessity ‘that I should always keep before my eyes the first article of the Norwegian constitution, which reads: ‘The Kingdom of Norway is a free, independent, indivisible and in- alienable country, united to Sweden under one king.' Therefore, it was im- perative, before approving a bill sep- arating the consular systems of Swe- den and Norway, that I should con- sider the welfare and interests of both countries and I had a perfect right, as King of Norway, to refuse my sanction. “The refusal of the Norweglan Cabi- net to countersign my veto was inex- cusable, as the constitution prescribes that the King may decide according to his judgment and that all his orders must be countersigned by the Cabinet. “Thus the Norwegian constitution, my own conscience and my considera- tion of the welfare of both kingdoms were the guide to my action in vetolng the consular bill.” This is the first interview granted by King Oscar to any correspondent.

The broad principle of reforg, however, is permitted to stand, tulfilling the long expressed desire of ad- vanced republicans ta see the state en- tirely untrammeled by connection with any religion or sect. The system swept away by this bill dates from 1801, when the famous con- cordat was signed by Pope Plus VII and Napoleon. This gave religion Govern- mental status, the churches being Gov- ernment property with the clergy paid by the state and the church administration under the direction of a member of the President’s Cabinet. The general prin- ciple of the measure as finally adopted by the Chamber of Deputies is as follows: “The republic assures liberty of con- science and guarantees the free exercise of religion subject to the restrictions of public order. The republic neither recognises, pays stipends to nor subsidizes any sect, but provides funds for college, and asylum chaplains.” The most active contest took place over the n wheréby the priceless riches of the church, consisting of collec- tions made during many centuries of paintings, tapestries and statuary, were to bé turned over to the stgte. This was modified so that civil organizations of the goods of the church. i Liberal Conmtestant.
