THuRMAN'S BOOM
A Suspicion that senator Sherman's
Friends are 1T In Bottom

A suspicion that senator shermsn's
Friends are 1T Its Bottom
WASHINGTON. May 29.-There is more
quiet tax in Washington about the availa.
bility of Allen G. Thurman, Of Ohio. ss .
candidate for Vice President on the ticket
with Mr.. Cleveland. Nobody seems to
know just who is responsible for the ru-
mors concerning Mr.. Thurman's chances
which have bsen flying around, bat il is
asserted that one of the men anxious to see
the Ohio statesman on the ticket Is Secre-
tary of the Navy Whitney. A little con-
ference which took place without unneces-
sary display in a committee room at the
Capitol is declared TO have been directly
connected with what is called the Thurman
movement. IL is understood that Secretary
Whitney. Senator German and Representa-
tive Scott took part in this conference, and
that Mr.. Thurman's son. Allen W., was
also present. Ex-Aayor Edward Cooper.
of New York, was q visitor to the Capitol
yesterday, but IL is not known that he had
anything 20 do with the conference. Those
who were present are not running around
telling what was said or done IN the COM
mittee room, but there is good reason for
believing that the special snbjsct of dis
cussion was how best 10 put Mr. Thurman
into the field after an assurance had been
recaired that III nominated he would feel IL
10 be bis duty to accept.
The presence of ex-senator Thurman's
son here last night, sprnces up the Thur
NAH Vice Presidential BOOM He was at
the White House in company of Congress
man Cultivate, who is Mr.. Thurman's
closest friend. OF course il is said be came
here on other business, and he probably
did. yet there Is no doabt his presence has
added to the interest attached to the boom
and strengthened it. The Democratic Con-
gressmen from Ohio have not been busy
themselves for Mr.. Thurman until within
the past few days. Judge Thurman was
regarded by them as out Of politics and, in
deed, too big for the Vice Presidency Rep
resentative Outhwaiis and Secretary Whit
ney express the view that Thurman would
accept if If asked by the whole Democratic
party. Mr.. Cultivate has telegrsphed to
friends in Columbus putting the question.
bat aas not yet had a reply. Until some
body suggested on Saturday that such q
telegram should be sent, the nomination of
Jndge Thurman did not seem to have been
thought of even by Mr.. Outhwite, and none
of the other Democrats were visibly aiding
the Judge. The suspicion has arisen that
ths booming has been done by Shernan's
friends. on the theory that the nomination
of Thurman on the Democratic ticket would
necessarily mean the nomination of Sher-
man by the Republicans.

THE LIQUOR PROBLEM.

A considerable amount of discussion
has been going on of late in the open
columns of some Honolulu newspapers
about the advisableness or otherwise of
enacting prohibitory legislation witt. -
gard to the liquor traffic The practical
value of such legislation, the question
whether or not it is effectual to compass
the end for which it is framed, can only
be determined by actual experience;
and that is not wanting. 1t is afforded
in the history of several States of the
Union. But SO many conflicting reports
have emanated from different sources as
to the effects of prohibition that it is a
matter of extreme difficulty to get at the
truth. The typical prohibtlonist will
tell you that the results are such as to
warrant the universal extension of the
principle; the -prohibitionist is as
ready to prove that the law has been
utterly futile. Both are enthusiasts, and
as such their claims should be subjected
to the severest scrutiny before receiving
acceptance. For this reason the APP
pointment of the United States Liquor
Commission is step which should be
hailed with satisfaction by all honest
men and women who take an interest in
the subject, inasmuch as it is calculated
to throw much valuable light upon the
whole subject. In the meantime we
would direct attention to the possibility
o. eradicating the craving for liquor in
those who have developed it in an alb
normal degree. We are under the i'm
preston that there are instances on
record in which this has been accom-
plished, and although it does not appear
to have commanded large amount of
public attention it is a matter eminently
deserving of examination by the medical
profession.

ABOUT THE OOKS.

On reassembling at 80 the At
torney General read an order he
had forwarded to defendants counsel
the previous day, calling upon them to
produce certain books used by the de-
PENDANT in business. He would ask if
the books were produced.
Mr.. Hartwell said they had not, nor
would they be produced. There was a
civil action pending, and by statute the
defendant was not bound to produce
them.
The Attorney General would then ask
if the reason why they were not pro-
duced was because they would criminate
the defendant?
Mr.. Hartwen said the defense gave no
such reason. He then quoted the statute.
His Honor thought that the statute
protected the defendant.

THE CONSPIRACY CASE.
w. 8. Luce Tried Before "a Foreign
Jury.

In the Supreme Court yesterday the
case of the King VS.. W. S. Luce, con-
spiracy, was commenced before the fol-
lowing jury: 2. Opfergelt, James Mott,
j. D. Tucker, F. w. Wood, s. Ephrain,
Il. w. Podmore, T. K. Moore, w. c..
Wilder, Jr., w. I-antz, r. j. Lille, E. J..
Spalding and w. II. Mclean
THE INDICTMENT
The indictment under which the de-
PENDANT is charged is somewhat
lengthy one. Following is an abstract ::
That w. S. Luce, a foreigner By birth,
on January %, 1887, did fraudulently
and feloniously conspire, combine, con-
federate, concert and agree together with
one A. B. Hayley, by false pretenses and
with intent to defraud, cheat, debar, de-
p.ive and defraud another, to wit, the
Hawaiian Government, of the legal rev.
lues of said Government of the value,
to wit, five hundred dollars, and to COM
nit an offense against the laws of the
Hawaiian Kingdom, to wit, the ofense
of gross cheat.
And SO the Attorney General, upon
his official oath, doth present and say
that the said w. S. Luce, at Honolulu
aforesaid, upon, to wit, the date afore-
said, and in the manner aforesaid, did
commit and is guilty of the crime of COLI
spiracy in the first degree against the
peace and dignity of our Sovereign Lord
the King, and contrary to the form OF
the statute in such case made and pro-
vided
And the Attorney General doth further
present and say that the said w s. Luce
did fraudulently and feloniously con-
spire, combine, confederate, concert and
agree, together with one A. B. Haley, to
do what is obviously and directly wrong
fully injurious to another, to wit, to the
Hawaiian Government, to wit, to de
prive and debar the said Government of
certain revenues, to wit, of the sum of
five hundred dollars OF its legal revenues,
TO wit, the duties upon certain imported
and dutiable goods and TO obstruct and
prevent the collection by said Govern
ment of certain of its legal revenues, to
wit, the legal duties to the amount Of to
wit, five hundred dollars upon certain
imported and dutiable goods.
And SO the Attorney General doth say
that the said w. S. Luce did commit the
crime OF conspiracy in the first degree
against the peace and dignity of our Soy
