Another translation OF the regulations

81. Hours Of occupation, from y. m.
to 2 n. m, and the gates Will be open

hours of duty are as follows: One po-
liceman from D. m. to IL m. One po-
liceman from u m. to 6 a. m. These po-
licemen will be changed, taking their
turn at the end of each week.
~. The duty of the police will be to
quiet any disturbances that occur and
to preserve good order in the place"
Additional instructions to this officer
are that no children be admitted within
the gates, and he refuses admission to
all boys supposed to be under 16 years
OF age. He is also directed to keep the
stockade closed on Sunday. This officers
salary is paid by the Police Department
We find that the total income from
this resort has been from $1,46o to $3.50
per month, leaving a net income to the
owners of the place of from SLIGO to ST.
and SIS per month, according to the To-
cation. This rent Is collected by ]. M.
Kanematsu, who with Mr.. Sullivan Is
associated with r. Masuda, in the own
ership and management of the place.
When the entire amount of money ad-
vanced by Masuda has been collected
and repaid to him together with such
bonus and interest as may be agreed up
on by the parties interested, then the
ownership is to be transferred to Sulli-
van and Kanematsu. Mr. Masuda has
recently caused the title of this property
to be transferred to a relative named
Owaza admiute44y that his social stand
ing might not he injured by reason of
his ownership of this place.
The general regulations governing the
place are about as follows
Every woman occupying a room with
in the stockade shall have a certificate
from the examining physician of the
Board of Health stating that such per-
son has complied with the requirements
of the law entitled IAN Act to Mit-
gate" and that the person was examin-
ed on the dates set forth on the back
Of the certificate. The evidence present
ed to your jury shows concusively that
there is nothing to prevent any Japan
csc woman from engaging in prostitu-
ton at this place. The examining ply
stefan performs his duty when he exam
ines those who present themselves to
him. His clerk or assistant makes
tificate cards and endorses the same by
date only at each examination; yet this
clerk does not know and no regulation
requires him to know that the certificate
cards presented at the examinations
We're originally issued to the persons
presenting them and he cannot identify
these persons. The cards may be wrong
fully transferred from one woman to
another for one night or many nights,
and while the collector of rents Is sup
posed to know that every female occu-
pant of room has her proper certii-
cate card and the physicians clerk is
supposed to know that all such occu-
pants appear at least once each week for
examination, yet it is fact that this is
supposition only, for females are found
In these rooms who have no certificate
card and a certificate was produced by
a girl admittedly only Is years of age,
who was occupying a room in this place
showing the date of the last medical ex-
animation to have been ninety days
prior to the time the card was shown,
thus establishing the fact that there is
no protection from disease to the patrons
of this place under this system. The
occupants of this place found by the
examining physician to be diseased are
taken by his clerk to the Queens Hospi-
tai and receive all the benefits of that
institution until they are cured. The
care and medical treatment or THESE dis
ca sed persons is free of charge to them
selves, but paid for by the taxpayers of
the Territory through the appropriation
made for this hospital. Evidence shows
that a number of women of this Iwilei
resort become pregnant and when found
to be so by the examining physician are
dismissed from the place, and no further
trace, under the present law, can be
kept of them, except as they may re-
turn to the stockade to renew the life of
prostitution. and there is no record OBJ
tainable of the number of children born
under these conditions.
There are many hundred persons, Wis
itors and occupants of Iwilei, who are
guilty of the crime of adultery or forni-
cation, your jury have no doubt, and
that the evidence of such crime can be
obtained is also believed by your jury.
yet at this time such legal evidence as
would lead TO the conviction of even a
