to badly frighten Mrs Sherrick. whose only
companion was a little girl. She went up
stairs and called upon passersby for help
and Messrs. +. w. McCarr and James La
Porte, who responded, found Mrs. Sherrick
to be nearly Frustrated with fright. The
report spread that Mrs Sherrick had been
assaulted and robbed and considerable ex-

its strict mental discipline for a romp In
the open air when the sun is shining and
the birds are singing. Some years ago
there were 10000 children in the streets of
New York, literally thrown out to wander
through the Sums, because there was not
room for them in the schools. At the same
time there was a truancy law in force
that required the arrest of all children be-
low certain age found on the streets dur
ing school hours, except, of course in
cases where a good excuse could be given.
The result of this law was that the houses
of detention and correction were full to
overflowing. Was this condition of affairs
provocative of good to the children?

the police court charged with having

JUSTICE FREAR SPEAKS
ON THE QUESTION OF LANGUAGE
IN LEGISLATURE.
Tells What the Commission Thought
About the Matter and What 1t Did
English Exclusive Language.

Chief Justice Frear, who was a men,
Der Of the Hawaiian Commission that
framed the Organic Act states that the
clause in the Act providing that pro-
ceedings should be IN English was pur-
pOSely placed there; that 1t was the in
tention of the Commission that all pro-
ceedings should be in the English lam
guaSe. AS Chief Justice he would not
express an opinion as to the legality of
bills that might be passed by the use
of both languages, saying that cases
covering this point might possibly
come before the court later for settle
ment
The Organic Act had the old consti-
tuition Of the Republic as a basis. We
went over it section by section, adopted
here, amended there and in places in
cOrpOrated new sections. When the
matter of the qualifications of legisla-
tors was being considered, a member of
the Commission offered the section In
regard to the use of English. The gec-
| ton was intended to provide for quail
ification for members of the Legisla-
ture. Already it had been provided as
a qualification of voters that they be
able to read and write English or Ha-
Waiian. The idea of the Commission
| was that members of the Legislature
| should be better equipped mentally
| than the general run of voters and
should be able to read and write Eng
] llSn undefSlandlnBly. providing that
proceedings should be in English was a
practical enforcement of this idea, or
was 50 intended to be, as / understand
it,
1T will be remembered that one sec
ton of the Organic Act provides that
! the session of the Legislature should be
sixty days in length. In the old consti-
! tuition the term was fixed at ninety
| days. 1t was reduced by the Commits
sion with the idea that as there would
! be no Interpreting in the Houses, not
nearly so much time would be taken up.
Had il been the intention of the COM
mission that two languages should be
used in the Legislature / am sure the
term would have been left as it was in
the Constitution, or at ninety days
There was little discussion i'm the
Commission in regard to the section. II
. seemed to be readily agreed, without
much argument, that the qualifications
of legislators should be above that OF
the ordinary voter. Congress evidently
looked at the matter in the same way
for it passed the section without
amendment
During this delicate interview the
Chief Justice carefully avoided any ref
erence to the legal status of the Houses
as now organized or the probable lega
status of the bills they might pass
What he did say, however, seems very
plain and to the point.
