THE NEGRO As A CRIMINAL
FIGURES FROM GARDENERS S
NOTE.
Explains Why the Proportion of
Negroes in American Prisons is
so Alarming.

One of the principal arguments
used against E. A. Gardeners
scheme to colonize the sugar plan
tations with American negroes, is
the tendency of the negro race
toward crime. Mr.. Gardner has
armed himself with statistics and
literature with a view to refuting
this argument, which he is inclined
to view in the light of an unjust
prejudice, resulting from sensa-
tional articles that have appeared
in the American papers from time
to time.
Il do not attempt to deny, !"
said Mr.. Gardner in an interview,
that in the crime annals of tht
United States, the negro takes up a
proportionately larger space than
the whiteman, but l think that l
can show that the criminal class is
confined to large town and cities.
l cite as my authority upon the
subject Frederick L. Hoffman,
statistician for the Prudential Insur-
ance Company of America, who,
in his exhaustive work entitled,
Race Traits and Tendencies OF
the American Negro" has gone
into the question very thoroughly.
l have this work in my possession,
and will be glad at any time to
show it to interested people.
MIR. Hoffman finds that, &C
cording to the prison statistics OF
1890, there were "a, 277 negro pris-
oners in the penetentiaries of the
United States and 5S,o54 whites.
Of the negro prisoners 1862 were
women, and of the whites 4,535.
The per centage of negro prisoners
in proportion to the whites, was
2o.58. This does not seem very
large, until we take into considera.
ton that the male negroes, count
ing only those over IS years of age
comprise but II.o9 per cent. of the
entire male population of the coun'
try, reckoned in the same way.
The subject is too exhaustive
to go into in a newspaper inter
view, but I have the statistics tc
show, that the negro criminal class
comes almost entirely from the city
When a study is made of the farm
ing districts, from which labo
supply for Hawaii would be drawn
it would be readily seen that th'
proportion of crime among th'
negroes, is proportionately snalle
than among the whites.
LAS regards the comparative
efficiency of common and skille'
negro labor as compared with whit
labor, may state from the stats
tics that 76 employers with 449
negro laborers, give preference t
the negro as against 80 employers
with I341 negroes who prefer whit
labor 4"

MORTON NOW is GUAGER

Saturday afternoon, that George
Stratemeyer could not be spared
from the Surveyors Department,
so he was returned to active duty
as chief of the department. H. c.
Morton, who has been acting Port
Surveyor, was appointed perma-
nently as Guager, in recognition Of
his good services. He took charge
of the Office this morning, and will
be initiated into the mysteries OF
guaging by Mr.. Stratemeyer. The
changes have been made of course,
subject to the approval of the Cab

any further changes.

THEY MUST CO 70 JAIL KUSATSU HEALING BATHS
DIR. DAYS INVESTIGATION
ON HIS TRIP TO JAPAN.
An Artificial Pool to be Made at
Miolokai-The Springs near Yo-
kohama Crowded with Patients.

While DR.. Day was in Japan he
visited the hot springs at Kusatsu,
the famous summer resort, about
fifty miles north Of Yokohama, on
a mission which may possibly prove
a cure to the leprosy in these
Islands. Hundreds of people af-
flicted with various diseases take
baths in these sulphur springs, and
nearly all are cured. 1t has been
stated on fairly good authority that
some leprosy cases have been per-
manently cured by the baths.
DR.. Day analyzed the water and
will make report on his investiga-
ton at some future meeting Of the
Board of Health. If it is found
that the water contains healing
qualities it will be proposed that
the government establish an artifi-
cial pool on Molokai.
The baths are taken twice day
for three weeks. The temperature
of the water varies from no degrees
to I3I degrees. Within three
weeks time the body is all broken
out, the impurities having come to
the surface. Learned doctors say
that the water is hot enough to kill
any germ. In Japan course of
healing baths follow the sulphur
springs baths.

IAN ISLAND GIRLS TRIP KATIE PUINAMS SUCCESS
MISS HELEN WILDER TELLS
OF THE ORIENT.
Saw the Slums of China-At the
Canton Execution Grounds
Fan Tan at Macao.

Since her return from an extend
ed tour of China and Japan, Miss
Helen Wilder has been besieged
with friends who are anxious to
learn something of these interesting
countries. Miss Wilder has much
to tell. She saw everything Of
Interest that it was possible for her
to see. She brought back with her
set of the choicest views, some of
which were taken by Jamie Wilder,
also an exceedingly fine collection
of curios, silks, fans and Japanese
dress goods.
On her trip through China, Miss
Wilder was accompanied by Mrs.
R. c. Spalding and Otis B. Spald-
ing of Kauai, Miss johnson Of
Honolulu, Mrs. Fairchild and Miss
Beesley of Texas.
We arrived at Shanghai early in
April" began Miss Wilder this
morning, and were obliged to leave
the steamer ten miles from the city
because of the low water in the
in the habor. After lunch, or tiffin
as the Chinese term it, Mr.. Spalding
and myself went through old Shang-
hal. This place is considered the
second dirtiest city in the world,
Annoy, China, being first.
There are over 2, 900, 900 people
living in this place. The streets are
about FIVE feet wide. Cinnamon
who are afflicted with leprosy and
other serious diseases lie out in the
streets, and not infrequently one is
obliged to step over the body Of
some Chinanan who is more dead
than alive.
when we entered any of the
stores the storekeepers were obliged
to lock the doors to keep the moi
out that would stand by and watch
us make our purchases. We were
warned against these people, a:
they were a desperate set o.
thieves.
AT Canton we went to the exc
cution grounds. Just the day pre-
vious men had been beheaded, anC
their pools of blood were still or
the ground. An old Chinaman
who has been cutting heads for The
last twenty years, exhibited th,
executioner's knife for fifteen cents
1 ran my finger over the edge o
) the knife and smelt the human
blood. The heads of the met
beheaded the day before wer'
| lying in tubs containing limewater
The bodies are always cremated
!, and the heads given to the friend
or relatives who apply for them.
We made a visit to the examina

A Curious Compliment.

Recently the encouragement of
Belgium, in the course of an eloquent
speech, paid the following curious COM
pliment to the soporific power of the
Belgian press: "In the evening, when
sleep flies from our agitated eyelids,
deaf to all our appeals, refractory to
our wishes, what immense assistance
we derive from the attentive reading
of SOME grave and deep leading article,
such as many a high-toned journal en-
riches it's columns with. Under its
soothing influence salutary repose
closes in upon us, and the enchanted
cup of the queen of night pours down
upon us it's treasures, in obedience to
the mysterious power of the press"

Kept aufet Ever AFTER.

It has been stated that a bank burglar
can so heat the walls of a safe with an
electric current as to be able to get in
eide without waiting more than few
minutes. Certain laboratory expert
ments lend some sanction to such no
ton, but electrical journals pooh-pooh
il. 1t is much easier to talk about steal
ing electricity from live trolley and
lighting wires than it is to do it = that
is, with safety. The Electrical Engi-
peer, after pointing out some otherdiffi-
culties in the way Of such operations,
remarks that "men can take and have
taken the current from supply mains,
even more than is required for melting
through safes, though in numerous in
stances the parties maintained perfect
silence about it'ever afterward."
