The coroner's jury empaneled to in
quire into the cause of the death of
Josiah Carr, who was found murdered
at the foot of the cellar steps at his
residence northwest of the city two
weeks ago this evening, has returned
a sealed verdict. This means that the
jury fixes the blame on some person
or persons and finds that he came to
his death by foul means. The murder
theory was from the start accepted as
a fact and has never been questioned.
Coroner Powell was asked today if the
jury fixed the crime on any person or if
the matter was dead quiet" He re-
piled that the matter was dead quiet"
and would say nothing further. 1t is
not known on what theory the jury
worked, but it is presumed, and the
presumption is strong, that at least
two persons were concerned in the
crime, one who did the actual killing
and one who aided and abetted it. It

THE NECESSARY EVIL.

1t is never pleasant to refer to in
situations that all decent people
wish didn't exist, but it is not for
the few immaculates who dwell
among us to take upon themselves
the task to condemn or at least op.
pose necessary evils" The action
of the Government towards the un-
fortunate women who have become
a necessary evil in Honolulu is con-
temptible to say the least. The
"French" women were allowed to
carry out their business under the
auspices OF the Government, and ac-
cording to the Act TO Mitigate. Dur
ing the FIRE they were burned out
from their places of business. They
have tried to find shelter somewhere
and places where they could con-
tinue their trade and they have been
driven from pillar to post without
right or reason. 1t is undesirable
to all decent people, of course, to
have number Of prostitutes locat-
ed in the vicinity of residences. But
they have got to live somewhere.
Never mind what they are, they are
women, and must have roof over
their heads and we think that the
action of the Marshal and the Dis
trict Judge in sending these women
to Jail is scandal, an outrage on
humanity, an act which the repre-
sentatives of these poor women
should take prompt notice and OF en-
ter protest. There are besides the
French women in town about 200
Japanese prostitutes. Some of our
dear ladies who in their innocence
believe that they can change the
spots of the panther have entered a
crusade of reforming the Japanese
prostitutes. No harm is done and
we suppose some OF the old and ugly
ones will accept the offer to be "re.
formed" The leading japanese men
simply laugh when speaking about
the matter and say, "poor dear
ladies, 80 good" and they laugh
some more. 1t is the duty of the
Marshal to protect these women,
but he fails in doing what is right
when he drives them away from
every street they may locate in,
without suggesting to them a place
they may be allowed to live in, and
he makes laughing stock of our
laws by causing the Imprisonment
OF women whom he virtually has
permitted to ply their nefarious
trade. With the increase in ship
ping, with the influx of male Ash
atics and with military garrison
Honolulu must he practical in her
sanitary provisions. We, OF Hawaii
do not wish to see the days back
when the whaling fleet ruined the
Hawaiian race through debanchery
and disease. To-day few Hawaiians
are registered prostitutes and to
prevent their number increasing we
call for protection for the foreign
women, who may be an evil, but
necessary evil as all sensible men
mnst admit
