A. STRONG VERDICT.

The verdict of the coroners jury i'm
the case of the unfortunate young man
who was Killed by turning on a switch
At McInerny's store last Saturday, does
not implicate any one directly, but 1t
shows the necessity of supervision
over such matter The verdict while
not directly duplicating any one person
scores the Hawaiian Electric Light
Company severely for it says III the
necessary precautions had been used by
the Hawaiian Electric Light Company
it is the belief of the Jury that the
said Charles All Fai would not have
so met his death"
The above forms a very heavy charge
against the company and may be the
foundation of law suit by any heirs
of Charles An Fai, if such exist. But
there is a further statement more seri-
Gus still The jury after calling in eX-
pert testimony has stated it's belief
that the wires of the Hawaiian Elec-
tric Light Company are in condition
dangerous TO property and life, owing
TO imperfect wiring and lack Of neces-
sary attention"
When the fatal accident occurred on
King street a couple of years ago a
very similar verdict was given. 1t was
then shown that there was great negli-
gence with regard to the government
wires, and there was a general over
hauling of them. To the Impractical
eye it is difficult to tell whether wire
is properly insulated or not, so there
is no complaint made and nothing is
said till attention is called by some
fatality such as occurred last Satur.

The question of investing trust funds
in plantation bonds is one which will
bear discussion when Judge Humph-
reys written decision has been handed
down. The point made by the Judge
is that being in a minority, there is no
protection for the small investor. The
line taken by the Judge may or may
not be with the intention of injuring
the McBryde plantation. If the latter
is really the cause, according to views
of prominent plantation and CONNER
cial men, 1t will prove abortive. One
hopes however, that no such motive
lies back of the judgment, for 1t would
be a profound disgrace to our present
judiciary, which needs no further blows
TO bring 1t into somewhat OF contempt,

The Bishop Museum has gone out in
to the deep to get specimens, and has
now secured the skeleton of sperm
whale. This is a good condition to
the denizens of the sea, and it is to be
hoped that a complete collection of the
fish around the islands will be secured.
A whale, by the way, is not a fish,
though he is a denizen of the deep. At
present Stanford has a collection of
Hawaiian fishes which might be the
envy of the Islands from which they
come. Considerable and careful work
is now being given to the fishes, as the
last publication of the Museum shows,

Mr Armstrong In defence Of the me-
gro says that importntions " laborers
from Europe has been equally disas-
trous. In this The Star must disagree
from the writer la the Southern Work.
man. They have not proved equally
disastrous. The Norwegians were not
satisfactory when they first came, but
they gave fine residuum, and they
certainly never developed the criminal
tendencies of the negro. The Portu-
gucsc have been thoroughly satisfac-
tory. As laborcrs they were hard
working, and saving. When they had
saved money they bought or leased
holdings, put their families on them
and stnl went on working. They cer-
tsinly have not developed the criminal
tendencies Of the negro. The Galician
gave trouble over his contracts, but
that was due to walking delegates"
Many of them are still at work. and
though given to a little mild turbu-
lence, have none of them developed the
criminal tendencies of the negro. Ger
mans Mr. Armstrong considers sue
cess in one case.
1t has been reserved for the negro
to develop more criminal tendencies in
quicker time than any other race. The
natural inference is that in certain
classes of negro the criminal tenden-
cies are strongly developed, and one
can quite agree with Mr.. Armstrong

not desirable" His last paragraph,
however, is curious. After saying that
tire immigration of the negro is not
desirable" he adds:
AT the same time, the white man
will not become the backbone of
these Islands, and here is a chance for
the negro to develop and become the
mainstay of the territory. The white
man will not till the soil; he is content
to do the trading. The Asiatics may in
time be the dominant race here and be-
come thoroughly Americanized."
If the negro is to become the main
stay of the Territory, he will have to
be a very different kind of negro from
those who went to Spreckelsville. But
if the immigration of the negro is
not ueSlrdDle now are we " lCCOiiSiiS
it with the statement that there is "a
chance for the negro to develop and be-
come the mainstay of the Territory
The fear that the "Asiatcs may in
time be the dominant race here" is a
Ipeculiarly unfortunate one. 1t is based
on a totally wrong presumption. Where
ever the Anglo-Saxon has set his foot
he has been the dominant factor, and
lit has been proved over and over again
There may have been instances where
Anglo Saxons have proved recreant tc
their blood, but the instances are rare
The dominant race here Will be Anglo
Saxon and races who join the Anglo
Saxon. Neither negro nor Asiatic will
The Anglo Saxon might have beer
driven out by the Asiatic in the days
of the Monarchy, it was on the cards
but even then he would have returned
to his ascendency. The true Anglo
Saxon American will be dominant here
and not the Americanized Asiatic. II
is doubtful whether you can ever Am
ericanize the Asiatic further than the
skin. Everyone knows the proverb
scratch the Russian and you find the
Tartar" You can scratch the Ameri-
canized Asiatic and you will find the
full blooded oriental underneath.

MUST USE SEWERS.
City Board of Health VIII Force
People to Make Connection.

The board Of health at its meeting
Tuesday night decided to make a
strong effort to enforce one Of the
dead-Ietter sanitary ordinances Of the
city
It is ordinance No. 1920, passed on
July s. 1898 It provides among other
things that every house located in such
a position that it is accessible to q
city sewer shall put in sewer connec-
tions- The ordinance provides that the
sanitary officers may give notice to the
property owner to put IN a sewer con-
nection, and that if the notice is not
complied with the property owner may
be arrested and fined from S. to $50
in police court.
The board of health believes that the
enforcement Of this ordinance is nee
essary to the health of the city AT
about the time the ordinance was
passed an effort was made to enforce
it, but the police judge decided that
the ordinance was unconstitutional.
There was no further attempt to en-
force the unconstitutional portion of
the ordinance.
The board of health believes that the
police judge was wrong, and somebody
will likely be given a chance to test
the validity of the ordinance.
The board decided last night that all
sanitary officers shall file with the
board a written report of each days
work. Printed blanks for this report
will be prepared, showing the amount
and character of the work done.
The new rules for the sanitary pO-
lice and for smallpox quarantines were
not given out last night. 1t is likely
that the rules will be finally adopted
at the next meeting of the board.
City Physician Judd says that the
city ordinances relating to smallpox
quarantine will be very rigidly en-
forced. THE city ordinances provide
fully the penalties for violation of
quarantine regulations, and we pro-
pose to enforce the ordinances We
had one woman arrested and fined yes
terday for disobeying quarantine regu-
lations. We will make examples of a
few such cases. and that viii end the
trouble we are having with refractory
patients and inmates of quarantined

Topeka Crematory to Catch Up With
Its Orders.

s. c. Thompson, the owner Of the To-
peka crematory plant, has received a
contract for building the crematory
system for the ST. Louis exposition All
the refuse from the St Louis exposition
grounds. including sewerage, is to be
burned at Mr. Thompson's plant, which
will be located near the exposition
grounds.
1t is not generally known in Topeka
that Mr.. Thompson is the man who
built and operated the immense crema-
tory system which was in operation at
the Columbian exposition grounds. The
system of burning used at Chicago and
the system which will be used at St
Louis is identical with the system in
use in Topeka.
Mr.. Thompson has ordered a large
new supply of garbage barrels, and ex-
poets to have them here on Tuesday.
He will then put eight teams out to
clean up the vaults, of which there are
now S79 on the orders. He estimates
that within 20 days, he can get the
thing adjusted satisfactorily, and be IN
shape to start In on regular work.

pany will not dump any refuse into the
river even in this rushed occasion.

COST OF MAKING GAS.
This Would Indicate That It Can
Easily Be Sold For 81.

Out Of one ton of coal 5000 cubic feet
of gas can be made. besides coke and

The coal costs from 1925 to $3.50 a ton.
The 5000 feet of gas are sold by the gas
company for SASS when used for light,
and for $3.50 when used for fuel
The coke and the tar products from
the coal almost pay for the cost Of
making the gas.
Ten dollars a ton profit is very fair
money for the gas company to be max
