PORTO RICAN vAGRANTs PUT TO
WORK.
Police Determined to Rid Town OF
Judge Wilcox In1icts Six Months.

Ten Porto Ricans, nine men and one
woman, faced Judge Wilcox this morn
Ing to answer to charges Of vagranCy.
This has been the largest number OF
this race that has been in the police
court in many months and recalled the
large numbers that were rounded up by
the police last year. In fact most of
;he defendants had served seutSnces in
jail, ,iinflicted BY Judge Wilcox The
court had evidently made up its mind
to deal severely with the guilty ones
and teach a lesson to the rest Of the
would-be vagrants that Honolulu is no
good for a loafing place.
The crowd had been in town all the
way from two weeks to six months and
with two exceptions, made little pre-
tense of having done work. Some of
them had excuses, but the excuses ap-
peared to the court, to be very lame
affairs and seven of the male Offend
ers were given six months each at hard
labor.
In two of the cases however, where
the defendants had claimed TO have
been working the court continued the
cases unail tomorrow in order to give
the Porto Ricans an opportunity of Sc
curing witnesses and proving whether
the defendants had told the truth.
Pedro Rodriguez one of the most
worthless old Porto Rican Deggers who
of the seven who faced the court. Ro-
drigues acted perfectly rational while
being examined by the court Rodri-
CUES stated that he had come from
Maui only recently, for the purpose of
getting his daughter and taking her
back with him. The court candidly
said that he did not believe the defend
ant intended any good to the girl. so
he sentenced Rodriguez to six months
imprisonment
Rodrlgues was taken back to the
prisoners dock and in a few minutes,
began to act in an odd manner NOV
ing around and shifting about from
one seat to another The attention Of
the court officer was attracted by the
fellows actions, and, before Rodrigues
had worked up his fake insanity, the
Porto Rican was taken below. When
in the prison yard. Rodrigues cut loose
and soon his howls and cries were
heard in the court room above. Big
Jim Kupihe soon put the fellow in a
cell and quleted him.
Marie Santos, a woman was charged
with vagrancy She said that she could
not help telling the truth. She was
leading the lifee of a common prosti-
tute and there was no use denying this
self evident fact. The court sentenced
her to two months imprisonment.
The wholesale round up of the Porto
Ricans was largely the result OF GER
tain threats which some Of the most
worthless of some Porto Rlcan men
were alleged to have made against
special officer McDufTe The latter
arrested three of the women several
days ago. on charges of soliciting and
they were sentenced to terms Of inn
prisonment this week. The men who
had been consorting with the females,
were reported to have threatened to
cut McDutfie's throat so the police de-
Cided TO make a roundup and rid the
town of the dangerous element.

TO BRIDGE THE GREAT SALT LAKE
southern Pacific IL About to Build u
Long TrestIe Across 1t

One of the most remarkable tasks
of railroad engineering undertaken in
the west in recent years is about to
be begun by the Southern Pacific in
Utah, says the New York Sun. For
the sake of saving four and n half
miles the railroad is about to build a
now line los miles long. and for part
OF the way the road will run on a tim
Der trestlc across the Great Salt Lake.
II now runs around the northern n
of the lake over a route bothered by
many sharp curves and heavy grades.
The work will take three years to
complete. 1t calls for an expenditure
of $500. 600 a year. The most formid-
able part will be the building of the
trestle across the main body of the
lake. at a point where II is seven miles
cross
The lake bed il comprised first of a
inches in depth. Then comes a hard
stratum of soda formation from a foot
to eighteen inches thick and after that
sand and blue clay alternately for an
indefinite depth.
The road will be built on piles
driven into this mass The trcstle
will be built high enough to allow for
a rise of the water which at this
point is now about thirty feet deep.
1t has been the experience on the
lake hitherto that sand tends to ac-
cumulate around driven piles. If this
should he repeated here the result will
be IA Swallowing of the water and in.
creased security along the road.
Besides saving time on the South
ern Pacific the construction of the line
will bring immense deposits of guano
on islands in Salt Lake within easy
reach of a market.

The Rjuht Attitude.

Rev. ]. II. Reid, pastor of the Con-
brought to the attention of a large
audience in his church last Sunday
evening discussion of the Norwegian
or Gothenburg system of controlling
the liquor traffic. A full abstract of
this address is given on another page
of this paper. Mr.. Reid is a man of
acknowledged strength in his own
church and community. He is a pro-
nounced advocate of temperance, and
a believer in the prohibitory law He
asks for favorable consideration of
the Norwegian system, not because
he prefers it to prohibition, but be-
cause he recognizes the situation
which now exists in Vermont, and be-
lieves the Norwegian system to be
preferable to any form OF license.
The attitude of Mr.. Reid ought to
be that of every sincere temperance
man at this juncture. Friends of
prohibition who recognize, as they
must, that majority of the people of
Vermont have expressed a determi-
nation to try some other form of con-
trolling the liquor traffic, will make a
serious mistake if they do not lend
their active support to the best meas
ure OF control that can be secured in
place of prohibition. The Republi-
can members of the legislature who
stand squarely on the party's declar-
alton in favor of the enactment of a
high-license local-option law to be sub
working majority as we hope and be-
lieve, will have a difficult task at the
best to formulate 8nd carry through
such a measure as they are willing to
see become the law of the state. A
large contingent of the license forces
will be ready to play the part of OBJ
structionists, and in this they ought
not to have the aid of carping indif-
ference on the part of professed tenn
perance men. The only right thing
to do is to stand together in support
of the best, the most practical and
most restrictive measure that can be
drawn. That is the kind of a meas
ure which large majority of the peo-
pie of Vermont wish and expect to
see the legislature of 1902 enact.
And let no true friend of temper
ance discredit his own sincerity by
declaring beforehand that he will
never vote for any license law, no
matter how strongly or wisely made.
On the contrary, let him Withhold his
final judgement like wise and candid
man, and when the time comes vote
as he then believes to be best for the
cause of temperance as conditions in
Vermont then exist.
