MAY BE BAD MEN.
Mr.. Asher Arrests Two He Thinks
Are on "Wanteo' List.

Policeman Frank Asher made what
may be an important arrest at noon to-
day when he arrested w. r. Lewis and
Frank Heintz, two young men who
claim to be from Denver. Asher, who
is on night duty, was coming up sow1i
after medicine for his wife, and was III
citizens clothes. The two men stopped
him, not knowing that he was an Off
Ger, and tried to sell him razor. He
Immediately arrested them for va
grancy.
Asher was unarmed. but when the
men refused to go he put his hand IN his
hip pocket and the bluff worked. When
searched at the station Lewis was found
to be a comparative plutocrat. He had
over $40 in gold and bills, a bunch of
skeleton keys and a deputy sheriff star, +,
which was pinned inside his vest. The
search of Heintz unearthed a large
Colts sixshooter with some extra cart
ridges. a small amount of money and a
handful of Mexican coins. Both men
were locked up on the vagrancy charge
and they will be Investigated. The
presence of a number of pennies among
the money found on them leads 70 the
suspicion that they may be members of
a gang of postoffice robbers.

Jobs at Homestead.

reason the members of the supreme
court attach great Importance to the de-
cision.
The case in which it is rendered in
wolves a law of this kind which was
passed by the legisla ture last winter at
the instance of Senator Cubbison of
Wyandotte county. 1t was entitled,
"An act concerning criminal appeals
in counties containing more than sixty
fiva thousand inhabitants, in certain
son convicted of crime is too poor
to pay for having a transcript of his
case made for appeal to the Supre2le
court the district court StenographeS
in the counties specified should make a
transcript and the cost should be paid
by the county.
Soon after the law took effect William
Rambo was convicted of some sort of a
crime in Wyandotte county, and ap-
pIied for transcript of record under
this new law. Incidentally it might be
stated that he was a client of Senator
Cubbison. To test the law the district
court stenographer refused to make the
transcript and CubbisOn came to the
supreme court for q writ of mandamus
to compel him to do so. The stenog-
rapher was probably more interested in
having the court upheld than other
wise. and there was practically no OPP
position to the application in the Su-
preme court, and the writ was allowed
county commissioners of Wyandotte
county got into the game. They said
that the first they knew of the existence
of the case was when they read or lts
decision, and they wanted 1t reepeneo,
as the county was the real defendant
and the operations of the law would
cost the county many thousands OF doi-
lars annually. The supreme court re-
opened the case, with the result that
the decision today is exactly the re-
and all l6RlSla-
tion of that character is declared VOID
The SYLLABUS of the decision is as fol-
lows: -
article ?, of our constitution, li which MS Is,
.All laws of a general nature shall have
a uniform operation throughout the
state is mandatory upon the legisla-
.. A law of a general nature which 1ich
does not have uniform ooeration
throughout the state is unconstitutional
as. If the object to be accomplished
by a law is in its nature special, a gen
eral or special law may be enacted as
in the discretion of the legislature may
be thought most applicable
"a Whether a law is general or spe-
cial in its nature is a question for the
courts and not for the legislature.
.s5. An act, to have uniform opera
ton throughout the state, need not
affect every individual, every class, or
every community alike 1t is compe-
tent for the legislature to classify and
adapt a law general in its nature to a
class: but such classification must be
a natural and not an arbitrary or ficti-
tious one, and the operation of such
general law must be as general
throughout the state as is therein pro-
vided for.

than sixty-five thousand Inhabitants.

ture. and as it does not have q uniform

MAY TRY TO
PUT BOYD BACK
ROAD ENGINEER SEEKING VINDI-
CATION FROM THE REPUBLICAN
COMMITTEES.

The Republican executive committee
is to meet this afternoon at 4 o'clock.
Among the matters to be considered is
the recommendation of a successor to
Il. A. Douthitt, as assistant deputy at
torney general. A new application
received is that of Attorney Lindsay of
Kauai, who is now in Honolulu w. II.
Rawlins of Honolulu is among those
prominently mentioned for the place.
The case of r. N Boyd may also
come up for discussion. Boyd asked
last week for an investigation of the
charges made against him by Superin-
tendent of Public Works Cooper and
the committee agreed to take the mat
ter up. Requests were sent to the
other islands for evidence. and is un-
derstood that some replies have been
re ceived.
Some of the members of the party
committee are quoted as declaring
themselves in favor of making an eff
fort to get Boyd back into the depart
nent. The matter of a successor has
not been taken up yet and it is known
that there may be an effort to induce
superintendent Cooper to allow Boyd S
return to the position from which he
was asked to resign.
The Fourth District committee re-
ceived large petition in Boyd's behalf
from the employees of the Honolulu Iron
Works. Boyd and his friends are MAX
ing a hard fight to get for him a party
vindication, and in the event of his
innocence being established his friends
will try to see that he has a good po-
sitiOn, if not the one he has vacated.
