MAY BE A MAFIA MURDER.
Endeavor TO Identify the MutiIat-

NEW YORK, June 2S.-There were
six or more people at the Morgue to-
day who thought it possible that they
might be able to identify the two por-
tions of a human body found in East
River Saturday and another found in
the bushes near the High Bridge Sun

The result was that it was established
with fair degree of certainty that the
murdered man was not Max c. Wein-
ecke, who has been missing for several
days. There is a bare possibility that
the body may be that of an italian
named Adsearo, an important witness

many other sports it takes some slight
Education" to understand it, but one
has to go through an education to I'M
derstand football or baseball. The
reason that cricket does not "catch
on" here lies in the fact that few of
the community have been accustom-
ed to cricket in their youth. 1t is
the games they played as boys or that
their brothers played as boys which in
terest people most when they reach

Anglo-Dane's appeal will meet with

TO the question, but il should be kept
in mind that the bulk of mankind IA
vor the death penalty for cases of
murder, and that whenever there is
an advent of lawlessness in commu-
nifty there is no such deterrent to
crimes of violence as capital punish
ment.
The crimes of violence on Maui,
fortunately for the reputation of the
Island, which have been regis
tered against her, and which may,
at the coming term, be registered
against her, have been chiefly com
mitted by aliens, and not by the res
ident population of the Island. But
there is no doubt that crimes of VIC.
lence are on the increase and need
stern checking.

ELECTRIC CARS.

Of complaint about the tram car
system of this city The Star in COM
pany with a large portion of its read
ers is fairly wearied. Yet people are
constantly coming and saying "why
don't you show up the tramways?"
Every word of complaint they make
is true, but it seems almost useless TO
voice them. 1t is true the service is
miserably slow; it is true that the cars
are dirty; it is true that the brakes
are so old fashioned that they are not
really safe, and that it is more by
good luck than good management that
there has been no serious accident; it
is true that the service would not be
tolerated in a third-class granger
town, and that every tourist who
comes here complains of the system,
and says that it is blot upon an
otherwise enjoyable trip. In point Of
fact everything that is said against
our system is true. 1t is almost as out
of date as Noah's Ark would be be-
side a modern iron clad, and it's man
agement is on par with those who
attended to the travelling arrange
ments at the time of the Crusades.
But what are you going to do about
it?
Grumbing is the prerogative of any
ones who chooses to grumble, and it is
usually considered the special prerog-
alive of the Anglo-Saxon race, but it
is very little good grumbling unless
something comes of the grumble.
ent very unpleasant state of affairs.
1t is for company to be formed by
our people to run a set of electric cars
through the city. We have capital
enough and the thoroughfares are by
no means entirely taken up by the
present antediluvian system. An elec-
would not trench upon the present
unfortunate franchise, and which,
with its increased speed, would serve
the public thoroughly satisfactorily.
The matter is really in the peoples
hands. Some energy and determine
ton, some sinking of capital which
is really seeking investment, and the
matter would be settled once and for
all. There are energetic men in our
midst who have overcome far greater
difficulties than our present tram car
system. Let them put their shoulders
to the wheel. apply their brains and
give us a system which the place may
be proud of. There are many things,
of which the people of Honolulu, may
be justly proud, but the present tram
car system is a shame and a disgrace
TO our city. Energetic work would
turn our disgrace into a pride. 1t is
to be hoped that action may be taken
soon,

CRIMES OF VIOLENCE,

The Island of Maui has been acquir-
ing an unenvable notoriety for crimes
of violence of late, and when the Grim
inal records of the present biennial
period are made lip it will be found
that not only the Island of Maui, but
the other Islands in the group will
have longer list of serious crimes of
violence marked against them.
1t would be great convenience,
for purposes of reference, if the Chief
Justice in his report would not only
arate district tabulated, but would
have the entire crime of the Islands
tabulated. As the tables are now pre-
pared one has to pick out from each
district the particular crime one de-
sires to find statistics of, and thus
one is very apt to make mistakes.
During the years 1S94-95 there were
eight convictions for murder on the
Islands, one Chinese, two japanese
and three Hawaiians, and two other
foreigners. The record for 1867 is
likely to be very much larger. OF
course We have not quite got through
the year yet, but whatever is done by
the courts within the next two or
three weeks will close the record for
the year.
1t is not, perhaps, at this moment
the proper time to discuss what
should be the proper punishment of
crimes of this kind. fhe law provides
the death penalty, and humanity is
ever stepping in and asking that the
death penalty should not be carried
out. Those who have the power gen.
orally lean to mercy, and it is a very
noble and very worthy attribute Of
human nature which makes it merci-
full. One would like to discuss the
pros and cons of the question at full
length. There are decidedly two sides
