The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1898-04-08
Article IS in the Way.

1t was learned from attorneys yester-
dav that Article 63 of the Constitution
was the principal matter standing IN
the way of the adoption of the COM
pilation of the Penal Code made by 5.
M. Ballou. This article provides that
in the heading of every legislative act,
there shall be stated its full purport
and that when it amends or in any
way affects an existing law, that stat
ute shall be referred TO specifically. 1t
would be manifestly impossible to do
this for the enactment of the code and
the same will stand as an authorized
reference book. Article GO of the Con-
stitution is to be amended. An act to
that end was introduced at the last ses-
sion of the Legislature, but there was
an error in publication and it has been
necessary to make a beginning again.

All three of the league teams were
out for practice at baseball last even

have been expressed that the Unions

interested in the club promise a sur

some of it is of the highest order. The
veterans Of the Honolulu and Regi-

DEAR SIR:-The Secretary Disc Plow pur-
chased from you is giving satisfaction. We
are using it to plow under crop of luPins. They
are three feet high and very thick. Your pIow
turns them completely under, at the same time
blowing the land fourteen inches deep.
| feel satisfied that with this plow the draft
for the same quantity and depth of work is as
6 %. That is, with the old ploW, to do the same
work. it takes 8 good mules; with your plOW it
takes only g. and they are less tired at night
Please send me another plow by first schooner
leaving for this.
You are at liberty to use this in any way you
may see fit. Yours truly,

BROOKLYN BOODLERS.
Nine Former City officials Charged
With Crooked Practices.
FRAUDULENT CONTRACT WORK.

The omcials Are Charged with Hav-
Ing Made Way with Eighty Thou
sand Dollars of the CIty's Funds by
Unlawful Methods.
New York, March 26.-In the Kings
county criminal court in Brooklyn yes
terday nine indictments were handed
down by the grand jury against former
city officials and contractors of Brook
lyn. The indicted men are: Former
City Works Commissioner Theodore B.
Willis eX-Police Commissioner w. E.
Phillips, Robert w. Fielding, former
deputy of city works commissioner;
Oscar Knapp, former water purveyor;
Fred Milne, inspector; former Alder
man William j. Leaycraft, former Al
derman Joseph r. Clarke, A. l.. Jansen,
a clerk in Controller Paliner's office;
w. H. Goff, former superintendent Of
sewers.
The indictments charge the former
ofIiceholders with having, by means
of fraudulent contracts for public work,
made away with $4,000 Of the funds
they found in the treasury of the city
of Brooklyn when they took office. The
affidavits secured by the district at
troney and by him laid before the
grand jury allege that the accused
made 1t a practice to meet at the resi-
dence of William E. Phillips, where
plans were discussed and agreed upon
for securing contracts upon conditions
of peculiar advantage to those inter-
ested.
1t is alleged that Contractor Daniel
Doody supplied the foundation for rr
whole investigation by practically tu
ing states evidence after Comptro
Coler and his assistants had disc, 20
cred that 900 in cash was missing
from the Brooklyn water fund, and
that there were evidences of other
grave frauds and defalcations.
The records charge the SSO,000 in
question to emergency work" The
law required that all work the cost
of which was to exceed $4,000 should be
awarded by contracts, upon adver-
tisement for the regular time. To
evade this law, it is alleged, the Of
ficers of the Brooklyn city works de-
partment had been in the habit of
ordering work and paying for it in
sums of $4,000 or less.
Further search in the records brought
out the fact that most of these small
jobs and the money for them had
fallen into the hands of a firm that ap-
peared upon the books as Thomas
Frazier & Co. Mr.. Coler was at first
inclined to believe that the firm was
a myth, but a little detective work dis
closed the fact that Contractor Doody
was really Thomas Frazier & Co.
All the bills for this emergency
work" had to receive the 30 X" of
Water Purveyor Knapp, be certified
as correct by Deputy City Works Com
missioner Fielding, passed by Auditor
Sutton, thence through the hands of
Comptroller Palmer and were finally
paid by City Treasurer Taylor.
The Indictment of Mr.. Clarke was
for accepting a consideration for the
performance of an official act while
in the board of aldermen. 1t is sur
missed from this that the grand jury
took up the action of the board of al
dermen in connection with the grant
ing of trolley franchises and eXten'
sions.

TIE AUXILIARY NAVY.
Fourteen Vessels to BE Transformet et
Into Floating Fighters.


New York. March 26.-Four swift
yachts nine fast sea going tugs and
one coasting vessel the pick of the
available small craft in the harbors of
New York and Philadelphia, were ac-
quired yesterday to augment the Uni
ted States navy by the special naval
board on auxiliary vessels. Two of the
yachts and one tug were delivered at
the Brooklyn navy yard and Rear Ad-
miral Bunce was in receipt of orders
from Washington to prepare to secure
the others today. AT least two more
yachts and two tugs will be acquired
today unless the negotiations which are
now practically concluded should fall
through.
The yachts bought by the govern
ment ere the Almy, the Hermoine, the
Columbia and the Alicia. The tugs
purchased were the =. II. Wise, the
Taurus, the Storm King. the Hercules.
the Paoli the Winthrop, the Edward
Luckenbach, the Walter A. Lucken-
bach and the Argus.
The board is also trying to obtain
possession of the tugs Ocean King and
Lewis Luckenbach, the property of
the Luckenbach Towing company,
which is, however unwilling to sell
them except at price that is almost
prohibitive. The board has also under
consideration a list of 20 yachts sub
mitted by Thomas Manning, a yacht
broker.
Other vessels under consideration are
the Kate Jones, of the Boston Towboat
company, and the Mutual, of the Mu-
tual Towing company. The board is
also looking for two larger vessels to
be used as distilling ships for provid-
ing a water supply for the fleet.

RUSSIAN DIPLOMACY.
Further Conditions Respecting the
Ta-Lien-Wan Lease.
1T Is TO REMAIN AN OPEN PORT.

The Chinese Much Flattered by the
Concessions, which Are Cleverly De-
signed to Conciliafe the Trading Ma
tions-Japan wIthdraws Opposition.
London, March 26.-The Pekin cor
respondent of The Times explains that
his statement of Thursday as to the
concession to Russia of 25 year lease
of Ta-Lien-Wan as an open port should
have read as an ice free port He
adds: "At the tsung-li-yamen (Chinese
foreign ofiiCe) further conditions were
agreed upon respecting the Ta-Lien-
Wan lease. Russia agrees that the
port shall be open to ships and the
commerce of the whole world with
customs tariff similar to that of a
Chinese treaty port, although its ad-
minstration and collection will be the
same as at any other Russian port
"China having represented that Ia
Lien-Wan is certain to supplant Niu
Chwang as the chief port of Man
churia and cause a loss in the imperial
customs revenue, Russia undertaking
to contribute to the Chinese govern
ment the balance of the customs COL
lected at Ta-Lien-Wan, after payment
of expenses
Though this arrangement is obvi-
ously temporary, the Chinese are much
nattered by the concessions. The con-
ditions generally are cleverly designed to
conciliate the trading nations while
Russia will consolidate her power and
strengthen her base prior to the abb
sorption of Manchuria. Russia has no
titled China that Japan has withdrawn
opposition to Russian action as to the
Leao-Tong ports in consideration of
Russia's withdrawal from Corea."
The Russians, according to a special
dispatch from Shanghai, having order
ed the Chinese to leave Port Arthur
the mandarins and soldiers are bolt
ing pell NELL with their baggage, to
Che Foo, Niu Chwang and TIA Ku.
Three of Russia's largest battleshiTs
says a special dispatch from st. Peters
burg, will shortly proceed through the
Bosphorous for Chinese waters.

A CERTAIN CURE FOR PILES.
Safe and Effective in Every Form of This
Common and Annoying Disease.

Many people suffer from piles, because
after trying the many lotions, salves and
ointments without relief or cure, have come
to the conclusion that surgical operation is
the only thing left to try and rather than
submit to the shock and risk to life of an OPP
Grafton, prefer to suffer on. Fortunately this
is no longer necessary, the Pyramid Pile
Cure, new preparation cures every form of
piles, without pain, inconvenience or deten-
ton from business.
1t is in the form of suppositories, easily
applied absolutely free from opium, cocaine,
or any injurious substance, whatever, and no
matter how severe the pain, gives instant re-
lief, not by deadening the nerves of the parts
but rather by its healing, soothing effect upon
the conpested membranes.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is the most effec-
tive, the safest and most extensively sold OF
any Pile Cure that has ever been placed before
the public, and this reputation has been Sc
cured by reason of its extraordinary merit and
the reasonable price at which it is sold, all
druggists selling it at 50 cents and 81 per
package, and in many cases a single package
has been sufficient.
A person tvkes serious chances in neglect
ing simple case of piles as the trouble soon
becomes deep seated and chronic, and very
frequently develops into fatal incurable rectal
diseases, like fistula and rectal ulcers.
Any druggist will tell you the Pyramid il
the safest, most satisfactory pile cure made.
The Pyramid Co., Marshall, Mich, will
send to any address treatise on cause anC
cure of piles, also book of testimonials.
