LAWYERS INTIMATE THEY ARE
TOO SEVERE.
Failure to Distinguish Between Glasses
of Prisoners Raises a Legal Difficulty
in Trying Offenders

Are the prison rules of Hawaii too
severe? This question was raised yes
terday in the district court, in the
course of the arguments of the lawyers
over the Gill libel case. f. w, Hankey
quoted sections from the official rules
governing prisoners and both Hankey
and Kinney referred to a revision of the
rules as one of the first duties OF the
coming Legislature.
The principal need of revision is de-
clared to be on account of the lack of
any distinction between petty offenders
and felons as far as prison life is con-
cerned. The prisoners are divided into
three classes according to their crimes,
and different costumes are provided,
but beyond the mere matter of dress,
the treatment of all is alike. The man
who is in for the least offence may be
set to work with the murderer.
1t is claimed by some attorneys that
this defect is not only unfair but that
it puts legal obstacles in the way of
convictions. An offence punishable by
such treatment as all who are confined
in Oahu Jail may receive, is legally to
be termed an Infamous offense, 1t is
stated and this makes 1t come within
the provisions of law which entitle
man charged with an Infamous crime to
a Grand Jury indictment before he is
held for trial. This would apply to the
commonest offender.
The legislature may provide more pri-
sons giving the territory the usual
ranking jails. from the penitentiary
down. so that proper distinctions may
be made 1t will also undoubtedly be
asked to modify the rules for Oahu pri-
son.
The parts of the rules to which
the lawyers especially directed atten-
tion, declaring them too harsh are those
stating the punishments that may be
inflicted. In addition to solitary con-
finement there are the following:
"2 Shackling with ball and chain.
"3. Deprivation of the use of tobacco.
"a Flogging-such punishment to be
forthwith reported to the secretary OF
the board
IS. Severe punishments not otherwise
mentioned. only by the approval of the
Board of Prison Inspectors"
The other rules refer to the daily
routine of prison life and to the powers
of the authorities to set the men to
work, or to let them out as laborers, in
charge of lunas.
The present rules were complied in
| 1894, by the Board of Prison directors of
that time, consisting of James A. Ken
nedy, ]. A. Magoon and c. p. Iaukea.

BIG FAMILY ON s1.8O A DAY.
Man with Sixteen Children Tells How
He does it.

MONROE FALLS, o., Aug, 6.-TO
have twenty children to support is
enough to make the strongest man
faint at heart but to do 50 upon $1.30
day and even less seems an impossi-
bility. Such has been the problem with
which Henry Moore of this place has
been conforted and has solved. Death
has cut the number down to sixteen
living children.
Mrs. Moore gives the following chro-
biological list of her offspring: Norah,

MORE american CITIZENS
JUDGE ESTEE COINED A FEW
THIS MORNING.
Some Bnglishmen Who Will in Future
Lift Their Hats When Berger Plays
Star Spangled Banner.

Judge Estee had a string of naraliza-
tion matters this morning. Only a few
were put through as the names and
names of witnesses were not filed prior
to the opening. On account of the daily
rush of this sort of work the court has
found 1t necessary to rule that in fu-
ture the names of all parties concerned
in a case be filed prior to the opening
of the court.
Alexander Garvie and ]. H. McKen-
zie, of Bishops bank, were put through.
Both of these young men are Scotch
men and have lived in the country
since about 1892.
w. A. Henshall was admitted to full
citizenship on a specially strong show
ing of qualifications, although he had
been in Hawaii only four and a half
years. He produced his first papers,
taken out in San Francisco in 1894. By
two witnesses he proved a residence
and excellent record in California from
1892 to the time he came to Hawaii, and
his residence and character since here.
Judge Estee decided in view of the cir
cumstances that Mr. Henshall was fully
entitled to his papers and ordered the
gentleman sworn.
Mr.. Douglass, a Scotchman, was
vouched for by Daniel Logan and
Charles Atherton and sworn.
Thomas O'Dowda, Irishman, for many
a citizen. In asking if the candidate
knew the difference between a Repub-
lie and Monarchy. Judge Estee added:
"Oh, well, 1 don't know that Ireland is
much of a monarchy anyway. That
country turns out some pretty good
Americans"
Judge Estee yesterday afternoon con-
tinued hearing of the case Christopher
Collins, ct al, VS.. American bark EN-
pire, libel. The matter was not finished
and was taken up again this morning.
w. A. Kinney has been excused as
serving as defendants attorney in the
case of Kane, charged with highway,
robbery and George D. Gear has been
appointed in his stead. Mr.. Kinney con-
vinced Judge Humphreys that he was
too pressed with other work to handle
the case properly, and that was the
cause of the change. Mr.. Gear does not
like it exactly himself as he has a
great deal of term business, but says he
will do the best he can. The charge is a
serious one and the case very important
1t is understood that If it was pay
case the fee would be about $1,000, as a
great amount of the hardest kind of
work is to be done. AS it is the at
torney for defendant gets only glory,
which is sometimes not worth over
$50 day.

REFoRMERs DISAPPOINTED.
No News Received by the Local Bow
Wongs.

The local reform society members
were considerably disappointed over
the failure of the China to bring them
any mail from Leong the chief reformer
They received letter from him by the
previous eastern mail in which he said
that he was in Japan preparing to join
the Japanese forces in China. A Jap
anese paper received here by the China
says that Leong had already started for
Peking.
The members of the reform society
attribute his failure to write to this
fact They reason that as he is very
busy starting out for Peking he has not
had the time in which to tell them of
his movements. 1t was said today by
one of the society that perhaps the re-
former might try to work his way in
dependently Of the allies into Peklng.
This seems scarcely probable however
as there would not be sufficient for the
young man to gain to warrant his risk
ing his life 1t is now thought that
Leong is with the headquarters of the
japanese forces,

BUT THEY MAY NOT VOTE
STANDARDIZATION PAPERS DO
NOT QUALIFY.
Persons Naturalized by Judge Estee
Must Still Read and Write Before
They Can Ballot for Legislators.

Becoming an American citizen in
Judge Estee's court does not fully quail
ify man to vote. The boards of regis
tration have final and Independent
say in the matter, and will be required
to apply the law in the organic act in
each case.
The question arose the other day
when Judge Estee asked a Portuguese
applicant If he read and wrote either
the English or Portuguese languages.
The would-be American replied in the
affirmative. AS a matter of fact he
meant that he wrote and could read
Portuguese, which answered the ques-
tion. He was sworn in.
mo, becoming naturalized does not
make a voter" replied an officer of the
court to a question. Each state and
territory has its own election laws and
a native born or naturalized citizen
must qualify under them. 1t will be the
duty of the boards of registration to
ask the usual questions of persons pre-
senting naturalization papers,"
Chairman Andrews, of the Oahu
board of registration, says: THE law
requires that voter must understand
ingly read and write either the Hawai-
ian or English languages. If a man
come before us who can not meet this
qualification, his naturalization paper
will be of no earthly use to him as a

clause. upon a failure to read and

The clause will affect the natives
very little as large majority of them
read and write. Those most affected
will likely be found among the number
taking out naturalization papers.
Judge Estee has decided TO reject out

IN THE LAND OF BUTTERMAKERs

1t is an odd and interesting fact that
Denmark, the buttermaking country of
the world bought from the United Sta
tes last year 35, 900 900 pounds of oleo oil,
with which to make oleomargarine, and
that the Danish farmers and butter
makers use Oleomargarine on their
tables. c. M. Pay of Copenhagen is in
the business of importing oleo. He came
to Kansas City today to see the pack
ing houses and to make business ar
rangements. The butter of Denmark
is known for it's excellence throughout
Europe. The Danish creameries have
learned the scientific way of making
the best butter, and the Danish govern
ment has passed laws to insure it's puri-
ty. England alone last year imported
$44,000,O00 worth of butter from Den
mark, and yet the Danish farmers
spread oleomargarine on their bread
The reason is simply the frugality of the
Danish buttermakers. Their best but
ter is worth 40 cents a pound. Oleo
can be bought for about Is cents a
pound. Therefore whenever a Danish
family eats pound of oleo 1t makes 25
cents.-Kansas City Star.

MANAGER McSTOCKER MOVA.5 TO
THE NEW HOUSE.
Many Present and Unbounded Hospital
What he Saw of Plantation work.

w. IT. Hoogs returned by the Kinau
this morning from Olaa where he was
present Tuesday evening at the "house
warming" of the Olaa Plantation man
ayers new house. The house which is
a splendid almost palatial residence is
situated on the road leading to Puma,
about mile from the plantation office.
Manager and Mrs. McStOcker had invit-
ed a large number of friends and the
house warming" was a scene of un-
bounded hospitality. There were songs
and recitations and other musical en-
tertainment The host himself, was
compelled by his guests to sing. Miss
Pearl Hossack, who is described as
having magnificent voice well trained,
sang several selections, and with Mr.
Hoogs, duet from II Trovatore.
Speaking of the plantation itself, and
the work of development that has been
done on it under the managership of
F. b. McStocker, Mr.. Hoogs says: 1T is
simply marvellous what has been ac-
complished and what a prospect the
plantation presents. The plantation
has always been able to get plenty of
labor. Thousands of acres of magnl-
ticent cane are growing. The mill site
is all prepared, and a large part of the
machinery is in place. 1t is the ex-
pectation, If all goes well, that the mill

oped in kauhamana, sufficient to hume
every stalk of cane to the mill. for do

The Bow Wongs have at last sue
ceeded in locating Leung Chi-tso, the
young reformer who left here some
months ago for China to try and put
his party in a position to profit by
whatever turn affairs might take. Lam
Sal, the secretary of the Bow Wong
Wui, who is now in Hong Kong, saw
Leung Chi-tso the middle of October,
and had talk with him about the sit
uation i'm China. Leung left Tien Tsin
on October 10 for Toxic, where he will
hold consultation with some of the
other leaders and endeavor to raise
funds to carry on the reform insurrec-
tion under the command of Dr. Sun
Vat Sen.
Leun~ thought the prospects very
fair of securing reorganization to a
greater or less extent from some or
all of the powers, and being entrusted
with the management of some of the
nations affairs. The purpose of the re-
bellion of DR.. Sun Yat Sen seems to
be to secure possession of one of the
Yangtse provinces with a view of re-
tanning the upper hand, so that when
the powers assign the government of
the various districts to the friendly
Chinese. the Bow Wongs will be placed
in control of one or more of the richest
provinces of that section. Wai-chow,
which was taken recently by the forces
of DR.. Sun, was abandoned by the re-
form army and fell into the hands of
the Chinese imperial troops again.
There was no further need for holding
the place, however.
With characteristic enthusiasm, Lam
Sal has resumed his efforts in behalf
of the Bow Wong society. Although in
Hong Kong he is diligently proselyting
his countrymen to the views of the re-
form party. This is a very dangerous
undertaking, for whenever the Empress
Dowager gets her hands on a reformer
or even a Chinese who is other than a
rabid anti-foreigner she proceeds to
deprive him of his head. Although
Lam Sal realizes the danger to which
he is exposed, he appears willing to risk
his life to further the cause which he
believes to be right. The letter is dated
October &c.

THE LAW ABOUT NAMES
ISLAND VESSELS COMPLYING
WITH REGULATIONS.
Most of Them Compelled to Carve or
Paint Their Names Again to Meet the
Requirements.

The island steamship companies and
all other owners of vessels here have
been notified by the custom house bu-
reau that they must comply with Am
erican laws with regard to the paint
ing of names, numbers ETC., on the
vessels. Very few among the large
fleet of local vessels have the proper
decorations, and lot of painting and
carving is going on.
The law provides that every vessel
must have her official number and her
net tonnage carved or otherwise perma-
nently marked on her main beam, her
name marked on each bow and her
name and home port on her stern in
a light color on a dark ground or the
reverse, and in letters not less than
four inches in length. Steamers are
also required to have their names on
each side of the pilot house, in six inch
letters, or larger.
The two island companies are pre-
pairing to paint and carve all their ves-
sells in compliance with the law. Even
some of the big steamers have not car
ried the necessary lettering up to this
time. and among the smaller vessels
are some that have no names at all in
sight. Deputy Collector Stratemeyer
has notified the owners and is looking
after the enforcement of the law.
