What Was the Verdict
Ed. The INDEPENDENT

Ed. The INDEPENDENT
Several weeks have passed by, and
yet | have seen no report of an in
vestigation into the recent accident
on the Oahu Railroad line which
caused serious injury to an engine
driver and fireman. 1t was stated
in your paper that an investigation
would be made by the Railroad
Company and also by the Marshal,
and that the results of the investiga
ton would be published for the
satisfaction OF the friends of the in
jured men and OF the patrons of the
road.

lished and, like Moses when the
light went out, we are in the dark.
1t means, of course, that the ver-
dict reads nobody to blame" and
there ends the story as far as the
Railroad officials are concerned.
l don't wish to give pointers to such
a clever man as the Marshal or to
the selected" citizens who probab-
ly assisted him in investigating the
accident, but they may not be aware
that on all well-regulated railroads
there is a train-dispatcher and a
yard master, and that those officials
are, in cases similar to the one re-
ferred to, forced to shoulder the
blame. In the yard of railroad
the yard-master is supreme, and no
collision should ever happen on the
line if the train-dispatcher and the
engine driver do their duty. The
explanation that one train couldn't
slack up because the track was wet
and the other couldn't start for the
same reason is simply rubbish, at
least, to OLD LINK PIN.

HAVANA OVERRUN WITH GAMBLERS.
AMERICANS AMONG THEM.


The commission OF prominent Cuban
lawyers appointed by General Ludlow
to decide upon and report as to the
best methods to be adopted for check
ing public gambling, recently made n
complete report, which was referred TO
Mayor Lacoste.
1t seems that the old Spanish law
was perfectly able to cope with the en-
tire matter, but that IL was rarely en-
forced. owing to the large revenue re-
ceived by the government for hosplt-
ais and other charitable institutions
from the proprietors of the gambling
establishments. Occasionally the gov
ernors would enforce the law, and all
gambling would stop for few
months. only to break out again and
be carried on with more freedom than
before.
The committee recognizes the fact
that gambling has now assumed pro-
portions which Il is desirable to check
and sets forth in its report that the
Spanish law requires only the cooper
alton OF the police to bring about the
desired reform, but General Ludlow
the military governor, insists that the
fault Is not with the police, who on
several occasions have made arrests
and seized gambling outfits only to
have the judges quash the proceed
ings and return the outfits to their
owners.
The committee suggest police inter-
ference. particularly with certain
class of clubs, so-called, which are
mere gambling hells and are frequent
slider. however, that 1t would be ad-
visable to interfere with the legitimate
clubs where whist and other games are
played merely as pastime.
General Ludlow referred the report
to Senor Lacoste who Is enthusiastic
in his desire to suppress the evil. The
mayor declares that he will exercise
to the full the powers vested in him.
Consequently II is expected that many
arrests will shortly be made, not only
of the native gamblers. but OF others
who are In the field with the sole OBJ
ject of fleeing Americans. Many
gamblers with unsavory records are In
the city, among them being Amerl-
cans. MeXicans and men of other ma
tionalities. If the judges do their duty
II is expected that the city will shortly
be purified.
William Willard Howard, general
manager of the Cuban industrial relief
fund. speaks hopefully of the work be-
ing done at the two relief farms at
Clebe Mercha. 12 miles west of Matan-
zas. where the managers have more
applications for employment than they
have funds enough to provide.
Mr.. Howard says that crowds Of des-
titute persons come to the farm at
daylight and beg for a days work.
None of them beg for food. and never
ask for 1t without expressing a desire
TO pay for It by working. Mr. Howard
also says that numerous small families
in the neighborhood are anxious to OBJ
tain loans for the purchase of animals
and implements with which to resume
the cultivation OF their fields, Offering
TO pay for such loans at the rate of l2
per cent.

Admiral Dewey Receives Homage from The

Hundreds OF tAustrians at Trieste
visited Admiral Dewey's flagship, the
Olympia, Sunday. The admiral went
for a drive to Mossfield with the Amerl-
can consul. The carriage passed a pro-
cession of little bare headed orphan
girls. Some of them knelt in the street
wien told that the great Admiral was
passing.
Admiral Dewey announced that he
had accepted the banquet rendered him
by the city of New York. but had de-
clined the invitation to attepd a ban

lionaires.
1t is now practically certain that the

raltar. The admiral Is anxious to avoid
further demonstrations as much as pos
sible.
Monday Admiral Dewey came ashore
to pay a formal visit to Miss Nina De

Mrs. Flagler is laboring under the be-

view of furnishing recruits for regi-
ments which have not been so success
