POLICE IGNORED
GEARS DECISION
WENT ALONG IN THE GOOD OLD WAY IN POLICE
COURT THIS MORNING TRYING AND CONNECTING
PRISONERS WHO WERE FINED WITH THE ALTER
NATIVE OF INGPRISONMENT-NO JAIL DELIVERY

No attention was paid by the police
this morning to Judge Gears "jail
delivery" decision. Business in the
police court was prosecuted as if moth
ing throwing any question on the
legality of the procedure, had been
raised
There were ten cases on the court
calendar. OF this number, only three
We're convicted. One of them was
Japanese named Hachikawa for in
toxication. He was fined SO and costs
and given the usual alternative of i'm
prisonment. The other was a native
girl named Kawaha for profanity. She
was fined SO and costs with the usual
alternative. Maggie Place was the
third conviction and she was sent to
the reform school during her minority.
No reference was made by the police
to the decision of Judge Gear. In fact
the policy of the department is to con-
tinue in the usual way. In the small
cases where it is not probable that any
attempts at an appeal will be made the
defendants will be prosecuted. When
there are more serious cases efforts
will be made to secure commitments
t. the court as soon as possible. In
cases where there is doubt there will
probably be no prosecutions. The

KA|ULANPS CREW
KICKED At FOOD
SAILORS WENT AFT YESTERDAY
WITH THEIR BREAKFASTS AND
ASKED CAPTAIN ABOUT GRUB.

There was a food" mutiny aboard
the bark Kaiulani yesterday morning.
Shortly before o'clock, while the
crew was eating breakfast prepara-
tory to turning to to haul ship from
the Irmgard slip over to the Hackfeld
wharf, some of the sea lawyers took
occasion to start a row among the
sailors about the grub. The result
was that the whole lot of sailors, car
rying their breakfast with them,
marched aft to interview Captain
Colly the master of the vessel
The sailors asserted they did not
consider the food good enough to eat.
They asked Captain Colly what he
thought of it, There were pork scraps.
potatoes, mutton chops and bread
among the articles displayed. The
food looked quite palatable to Captain
Colly but before he gave his men an
answer, he inquired of a visiting cap
tain what the latter thought of it, The
latter pronounced the food to be good
and wholesome.
You men go forward. finish your
breakfast and turn to to haul ship"
said Captain Colly to the assembled
men. IF YOU don't like it, you can
go over the side of the ship and / will
hire some more men,"
The breakfast was finished and the.
ship hauled to her new berth in an
hours time.

REVELATIONS OF
A FEE CONTRACT
SUMNER CASE FEES AS. THEY
WERE AGREED UPON IN AD-
VANCE.

"Eureka!" said George A. Davis as
he bounced into the Supreme court
clerks office this morning with a
strenuous gait and f1ourishing a type
written document. Then he sat down
and wrote some almost unreadable al
legations, swore to them and filed them
adding the usual almost daily docu-
ment to the vast pile of Sumner case
records in the possession of the clerks
of the court.
The new document was an agree
nent entered into at the start of the
Sumner litigation, between George A.
Davis, Magoon & Peters and Maria s.
Davis and Wally Davis. 1t was on
the subject of fees and showed that
the lawyers had an agreement to Sc
cure for them a third of what Maria
Davis got from Sumner. Davis claims
that it is important evidence against
the statement, made in the syllabus of
the Supreme Courts decision, that he
delayed the settlement of the Sumner
guardianship case for the purpose of
forcing an eXorbitant fee out of sum
ner or the railway company. The
agreement was lost, says Davis, and
he didn't find it till after the dis
barment hearing. 1t is as follows:s
"This agreement made between Maria
S Davis, of the first part, r. w. Da-
Wis of the second part, George A. Da-
Wis of the third part and Magoon &
Peters of the fourth part, witnesseth: :
THAT said parties of the first and
second parts hereby agree to give to
said parties of the third and fourth
parts one-third of all sums of money,
evidences of indebtedness, chooses in
action and property recovered by them
and each of them or to which they and
each of them may be entitled or which
they and each of them may receive in
the matter of the suit now pending in
the Circuit Court of the First Judicial
Circuit in the matter of the Oahu Rail-
way & Land Co., VS.. John X. Sumner
et al. the case of John X. Sumner by
his next friend Maria S. Davis VS.. The
Oahu Railway & Land Co., and in the
matter Of the petition for guardianship
of John K. Sumner, and all proceed
ings that may be incidental thereto, or

nefits they and each of them may re-

tance, or in any manner, upon all Of
which said parties of the third and
fourth parts shall have a lien and
first charge upon all sums of money,

parties of the first and second parts
and each of them as hereinabove set
forth
"And they further agree to pay all
costs fcourt in said suit or matter or

HARD TIMES
FOR DRUNKS
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL SAYSaEVERY MAN ARRESTED
FOR 1.-TWO AND COSTS" DRUNK HEREAFTER MAY
SEE AN INDICTMENT LIKE THE FOLLOWING STAR
ING HIM IN THE FACE.

81 don't see any other way out of the
dilemma. 1t simply means that here
after a person arrested for such a
crime as drunkenness, for instance,
will have to spend a couple of months
OF so in JAIL awaiting indictment and
trial.
Judge Gears decision must be fol-
lowed by us as long as it stands. He
has the authority and can discharge on
habeas corpus anyone who is imprison-
ed contrary to his decision. 1 do not
agree With his view of the law but
must follow it as long as 1t stands.
''The matter may reach the Supreme
Court later, on an appeal from habeas
corpus. At present we are going ahead
with indictments of all cases. A man
cannot even plead guilty to drunken
ness and take his fine from the district
magistrate. The latter has no juris-
diction except to commit to the grand
Jury. All cases, of whatsoever ma
ture, which are brought before him,
must be considered as committal
cases."
Under this view Deputy Attorney
General Peters Is preparing to present
fifty or more small cases to the Grand
Jury for indictment, so that the de-
PENDANTS may be placed on trial in the
circuit court. All the sentences i'm
posed by George A. Davis as district
magistrate, or by Lindsay are void as
we'll as the remaining ones by the late
Judge Wilcox. The same law obtains
in all the circuits of the islands.

police are, in a word feeling their
way"
Reference was however, made in
directly to the decision by A. NJ. Wat
son who appeared as counsel with F.
NJ Brooks to defend Yamasah. Aku-
tsu and Murakami charged with Illicit
distilling. Watson made a remark
about desiring a speedy trial and also
questioning whether the court had any
jurisdiction in the matter. Deputy
High Sheriff Chillingworth replied that
he was ready to go to trial, whereupon
Watson did not insist on a speedy
trial but permitted a continuance un-
til October 9, to be taken. The pur-
pose of the prosecution in taking this
continuance was to enable them to
present the evidence before the Grand
Jury so that the three defendants could
be indicted and tried according to the
requirements of the new decision.
The opinion of the police Is that the
grand jury will have to be kept in
session continuously in order to return
indictments so that the various de-
PENDANTS can be tried under the new
law. Some lawyers seem to be of the
opinion that a special session of the
legislature will be necessary to make
the necessary changes in the laws to
facilitate criminal procedure In the
Territory.

the Circuit Courts of Hawaii, in view
of Judge Gears decision of yesterday

HEFLIN EXPLAINS
 HIS CRITICISMS
Asks a Candid Consideration of
 the Facts
THINKS ADVERTISER UNFAIR
secretary of State Maintains That Judge Has No More Right to ln- suit Jury Than Jury Has
 to Insult a Judge.

In replying to the criticisms indulged by the Montgomery Advertiser, General Gordon and few others, in reference to his Luverne speech in which MT. Hefin took occasion to speak his own senu- ments with reference to the charge of Federal Judge Thomas G. Jones in one of the peonage cases, MT. Hefin gives out the following statement to the public:
 In public speech at Luverne, Ala, on July r. I criticized portion of Judge Thomas G. Jones charge to the jury in the case of the government vs J. r. Fur ner in which case the defendant was charged with peonage. Considerable comment for and against my position has been made by the press of the coun- try
 l ask a candid consideration of the facts. The Montgomery Advertiser in its partisan zeal, has been very unjust end unfair to me. Realizing that it's po- sition in defending a portion of the judges remarks to the jury is utterly un- tenable. it seeks to obscure the real issue which grows out of an "unwarranted and unauthorized assault on the jury sys- tenn" It seeks to hide from view a seri- ous attack on the right of trial by jury, because in this particular instance il hap pened to be a very dear friend who had offended against a time-honored institu- ton. Some of the other papers, I am sure. did not know what the judge really said to the jury in the Turner case. In these criticisms the Advertiser has not seen fit to publish his exact language, and hence some excuse exists for those papers who got their impression of my position from that paper. To the end that the truth may be known and my position rightly understood by the people who have honored me and whom I am trying to serve, l submit the following:
 desire to say in the outset that I am not. as the Advertiser has suggested, a candidate for governor. Neither am I a candidate for congress- However, if my condemnation of an act of a federal judge is correct, I am utterly unable to see how the robes of office or a political of- fee. imminent or remote, can affect the justice of my position. If, in a plain speech to the people of Alabama, l in- sinuated that the zeal of federal judge was inspired by a desire for promotion at the hands of a republican President. who is the greater sinner, myself or the judge who impugned the motive of good and reputable men constituting a jury of his peers?
 Does Not Assail His Record.
 I have in no sense assailed the record of Judge Jones as a Confederate soldier. I give him due credit for every brave deed done. l honor and revere all those who wore the gray; all those who fought so gallantly and who suffered much for our beloved southland. I feel now that l am honoring and serving them best when l speak out my humble convictions in defense of the dignity and integrity of the institutions that they love. And of these institutions Mir.

PIeadIna for Rlahts.

I am pleading for the rights of a sys- tenn by which and through which the constitution directs the punishment of crime It were Infinitely better for ninety nine guilty persons to go free than for one judge to offend against the con stltutional rights of the jury. or preju- dice the case of the humbest citizen to whom the constitution guarantees a fair and impartial trial by a jury of his peers. No judge has the right to shackle the conscience of a juror or take his mind prisoner and mould it to his way of
