PAHOEHOE BRIDGE BREAKS
DRIVER JUMPS TO SAVE HIS
LIFE.
Team and Wagon Precipitated below.
Three of the Mules Killed-Falls are
Just Below the Bridge.

HILO, September 6.-On Wednesday
morning about ten o'clock, the bridge at
Pahoehoe gulch about three miles out of
Hilo on the Hamakua road broke with
one of the Volcano Stables teams on IT.
This bridge is about so feet long ana
about 35 feet above the water. A team
belonging to the Oonomea Sugar Co.
and a team of the Volcano Stables had
crossed just previously. This wagon
driven by Manuel Francesca had a light
load of merchandise. much smaller than
usual in fact. When Francesca heard
the bridge crack behind him, he threw
the lines and jumped clear fortunately
landing in deep pool. AS he came TO
the surface he saw piece Of falling
timber and diVed, throwing up one
arm to protect his head. The timber
hurt his arm and he received "A kick on
the hip from one mule but these in
juries are very slight. When the miles
felt the bridge going down they made a
desperate struggle to pull up and off
the bridge even tearing off some of
their shoes In the attempt. The wagon
turned a complete somersault landing
in the water on the mauka side of the
bridge with the load in the box. The
wagon and harness are almost a COM
plete wreck and three of the miles were
killed. Had the bridge tipped to the
makai side as 1t fell the whole would
most certainly have been swept over
the falls just below; the falls are about
so feet high
The accident was due to the breaking
Of an overhead rod. Examination show
that the timbers were also in a bad con-
dition; rotten, charred and decayed TO
such an extent that It a wonder that
the bridge held so long as 1t has. Work
has already begun to put up a false
structure which will be utilized in
building the old bridge over. The road
Will be open for light traffic by Monday;
at present the crossing is made by foot
along the old bridge or by fording. The
Volcano stages connect there twice a
day so travel Is not entirely suspended
The old bridge will be rebuilt; new
timbers put in and in the case of broken
iron, new will be used. To put in a
steel bridge would mean two or three
months delay In which the road would
be practically closed.
The road board Will have to suspend
repairs on the roads In order to use the
money for the bridge. hven this avail
able fund is very low, as most of 1t has
to be used to meet obligations that the
government has failed 10 provide for.
Mr.. Scott, the chairman of the road
board says that the man who has done
all bridge repairing gave this bridge al
Pahoehoe a thorough oyer-haulini
about year ago. New timbers were pul
in, new floor laid and the bridge de.
clared good for sometime to come. The
road board has tried without success tC
get an appropriation to replace the
Waiakea bridge, the old Wailuku
bridge and the one at Pukihae. A con
tract to rebuild the latter was made
| last week.

ToMA ABE Is TIRED.

Toma Abe, the japanese police officer
Is not satisfied with the way in which
he is being treated by the local street
car companies. He think that they
do not show the proper respect for the
cloth OF a police officer. He says that
the uniform of a policeman should be
recognized. In other words, that an Of
ficer should be allowed 10 ride on his
face" on any car In the city.
II tella you It's dis way" observed
Toma while waiting TO interpret In
Judge Wilcox's court "They let de
policeman ride free in every big city
but Honolulu and they ought to7a do
It here. no lika ride when not In
uniform but when policeman got uni
form he ought to be lowed to llde."
When Toma gets more time he will
probably bring this matter to the at
tentlon of the proper people, and per-
haps induce them to attach the same
Importance TO a police uniform that h'
does.

THE POLICE FORCE.

The Rules and Regulations for
the guidance OF the Police Depart
ment Of Honolulu, recently issued
by the High Sheriff, are not new, in
the strict sense of the word. The
rules have been in force since Mr.
Brown took charge OF the Depart
meat, but they have heretofore been
unwritten rules, verbs ally impressed
on the minds of the men, but always
furnishing loophols for the shirker
or neglectful officer who would claim
that he didn't understand the ruls
as laid do wn by his superior, or that
be forgo', or that he never was made
cognizant OF the existence of such
and such rule. The High Sheriff
has now had the rules issued in
book form convenient for the off
GERS to carry in their breast pockets
and furnishing some very good ma
terial for studying and thinking to
the protectors OF the city, the ter
rors of evil doers. We have been
told that the rules were terribly
strict, but after reading them care
fully we do not think that they differ
from similar rules in other cities.
Their main object is to enforce the
necessary discipline in the force, to
make the men respect their uniform
and their position, and reminding
them that at all times they are the
servants at the public entrusted
with the responsible task Of pre-.
serving the peace, preventing crimes
and, in short, be the pillars on
which the social fabric of the com.
munity rests.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1901-01-16

The Rules and Regulations deal
with the qualifications necessary for
applicants for position on the Po.
Ice force. To make twenty years
the minimum for admission to the
force is mistake to our ideas. The
most efficient officer on Mr.. Browns
force was not twenty years of age
when he laid the foundation for the
fine police record, OF which he can
be proud 10 this very day. We mon
lion no names but the High Sheriff
might get all the information in re-
gard to the man we are thinking Of
by referring to his Deputy. In
most OF the countries in Europe any
man eighteen years of age possess-
log the necessary physical qualifioa-
tions, etc, will be appointed on the
police force. A young man recently
out of school, where discipline
reigns supreme, makes a far better
material for a police officer than
does big hulk of stupid cowboy
or some fellow who, since his school
days, has tried his hand at every
thing and accomplished nothing,
except in his own mind, as last
straw, being fit to join the police
force. We believe in rearing police
officers from their youth exactly as

GERS from their 18th year.

he actually necessary for their cons
6nement and due subjection. Par
ticular attention is called TO this
rule.
The Turnkey OF the Station will
be held responsible for any abuse Ct
any prisoner committed to his care,
and should any abuse cccur, it will
be the duty of such Turnkey to re-
port the facts as soon as possible to
the High Sheriff.

RIle 81 is one Of the most i'm
portant, and if carried out will
abate some OF the evil practices
which, in spite OF tho vigilance,
have been in vogue in the Depart
m mt. We refer especially to the
soliciting by officers Tor attorney6,
and to the abusing OF persons ar
rested in the receiving station. We
have seen enough Of that 20 know
that the statements frt quontly made
by offenders to the Magistrate in
regard to their i'll treatment in the
receiving station is not always a
fairy tale OF he result OF a bad
dream. The ruls reads in full: Po-
licemen are prohibited from loaning
money to prisoners, on deposit
OF any articles iu their possession,
or from purchasing any property in
the possession of prisoners.
Members OF toe Police D3part
ment are prohibited from soliciting
f}r attorneys, but upon making an
arrest the officer shall, VIXEN re-
quested BY the person under arrest
or detention, notify sny attorney

No person shall be beaten, struck,
or matrsated in the prison or re-
st,tion, nor auy further vio-
leIce used towards them thsn shal!

wrong

Rules 80 and 33 seem rather con-
Gicting. By rule 32 each officer
shall furnish to his superior all in-
formation in regard to any matter
which might re fleet discredit on the
Department or any member thereof
Rule 33, however, reads: An indul-
gence iu the practice OF scandal an
the relating of rumors affecting the
character OF a brother officer tends
to lower the Department in the pub
lie estimation, and to create and
foster ill feeling and auimosi Y
among the meu; and as it tends
directly to subvert good discipline
it will render the party offending
liable to dismissal.

Rule "a provides for the respect
to be shown by an officer on duty
towards his superiors. When au
officer on duty at night sees su,
petior approaching he shall step
forward, salute, and ray, Calls

somewhat sweeping, and if carried
out to the letter might get the offi
Ger into trouble. Surprising the
patrolman had just found a dead
man in doorway when a superior
officer was approaching. Ee might
wish to report the CHASTITY fad TO
the ever approaching officer, but the
stern rule "a says that he shall step
forward, salute, and announce to
such approaching oficsr that "All's
WE'LL" at the same time adding the
title of the officer addressed, which
salute should be acknowledged by
the superior. And how can a poor
conscientious policeman, enjoying
a surreptitious smoke while on duty
during the silent night, say that
"All's we'll" upon the sudden ap.
pesrapce Of the High Sheriff, who,
for ten minutes, unbeknown to the
officer, has watched the smoking
process. A police officer cannot
tell lie, and yet rule 24 compels
the detected patrolmau to say, "All s

In conclusion the High Sheriff
makes the following note: "In max
ing these regulations, it will be un-
derstood that very minor items
must be left subject TO the discre
ton Of the officers, and cannot be
provided by rule, Besides, extra
ordinary cases will arise, which no
regulations would meet, and the
High Sheriff trusts and expects thst
the experience which the preser
officers have had, will enable them
to meet such cases, end dispose Of
the same TO his satisfaction"

That police is considered always
on duty is correct, OF course. 1t
DOESN'T mean that he, when of duty,
can't 60 home and sleep, but it
