POLICE NEED
MORE CASH
High Sheriffs Report
to Attorney
General.

Larger appropriations are needed by
the High Sheriff to carry on the police
work throughout the islands to the
best advantage and strong recon-
mendation has been made to the At
torney- General to this effect. In sub
hitting his report for the eighteen
months ending December 81, the High
Sheriff says:
The work done by the Police Depart
ment throughout the Territory shows
for itself in the statistics accompanying.
this report, and in the individual re-
ports of the Sheriffs of Hawaii Maui
and Kauai, which reports are hereto
attached. Police work has increased
and the prospects are that it will con-
tinue to increase.
Present appropriations are insufficient
to carry on police work to the best pos
sible advantage, and attached to this
report will be found a tabulated state
ment showing appropriations for period
ending June 80, A. D. 1903, and increased
amounts suggested for period ending
June 80. A. D. 1905. together with rea-
sons for such increases.
Japanese and Porto Ricans have dur
ing the last eighteen months figured
more conspicuously in crime than other
nationalities.
The number of prisoners at Oahu Jail
has largely increased, of late neces-
stating much larger expenditure for
support of prisoners than was con-
present appropriat ton was made. The
Jailor's Report, hereto attached, will
show conditions at Oahu Prison during
last eighteen months.
The GamewelI Police Alarm System,
for the installing of which the last
Legislature appropriated 500, 900, and
which system was installed and put into
working order about April 1, A. D. 1902,
has added much to the efficiency of the
Police Force of this city. An appro-
pr1atlOn OF $1O,UO0 would install at leaSC
fifty more boxes, making with what are
already installed, a total of about one
hundred boxes; which would place al
most every point of the city in commu-
nication with Police Headquarters.
1 would recommend that the penalties
for larceny in the second degree. and
malicious injury, be so amended as to
enable District Magistrates to take
jurisdiction of such cases.
I would also recommend licensing the
sale of beer upon payment of a license
fee of $3.50 for each such license.
Would also recommend that the pres
ent law licensing sale of wine, beer and
ale be amended by striking out clause
that mo such license shall be granted
within two miles of place where vend-
ing of spirituous liquors at retail is car
ried on" Also strike out clause re-
quiring Iicensee to stop business at 8
O. clock p. m. Time of closing should be
extended to 1870 p. m.

Pleasant Reception

The Rev. Charles S. Stevens, the
new pastor Of First Presbyterian
Church, and Mrs. Stevens, shook
hands with several hundred men,
women and children last night. The
occasion was the reception rendered
in their honor by the congregation Of
the church.
The Rev. Albert n. Keigwin, d. D.,
who was to have made the address of
welcome, was unable to be present,
and DR.. T.. A. McCurdy made it in
stead, and I'm a most cordial vein.
Judge Gray welcomed the pastor and
his wife for the people. Mr.. Stevens
responded. He said this way OF for
mally placing a pastor TO work was
something entirely new to him, and
that he could not help but feel delight
ed with his first experience OF the kind.
He said that he would repay them for
their kindness and sympathy in doing
all in his power to make Wilmington
the stronghold of Presbyterianism. He
would make religion much more than
simply rites and ceremonies, and
stated that the Christian life, instead
of being a life made unhappy by sacri-
fees, was the real bright life.

CAR CRASHES DOWN INCLINE

Running down the steep inclined
trestle of the Hygeia Ice Company. a
car loaded with ice crashed into an-
other freight train that was at the time
along the Pennsylvania railroad this
morning and completely wrecked one

Brakeman Charles James, VINO was
standing on the car, had a marvellous
escape from death. The brakes were
not sufficient to hold the heavily load
ed car on the incline. and pieces OF
iron had been placed beneath the
wheels. A jar caused these to become
displaced, and down the steep tracks
the car raced. The engineer passing
saw it coming, and tried TO get his train
out of the way, but he was too late, the
car striking one of his train, knocking
it off the track and splintering It almost
to kindling wood.

appeal for the people all along the
flooded districts of the state, as well
as for those in Topeka. The plan is
to make Topeka headquarters and to
distribute aid from here to the other
parts of the state.
There will be this general appeal,
an appeal through the fraternal or
ganizations and other appeals through
various sources.
A meetiRg OF the representative
people of North Topeka, who are on
the south side. was held to arrange
for,systcmauc protection OF their prop.
erty in North Topeka. Immediately
after the meeting a large number of
armed men left in boats for the north
side. where they will guard property,
and their orders are to shoot.
The situation in the flooded districts
is better than It has been before since
the flood began. Nobody is now cling
ing to trees. Not to exceed 400 people
are n North Topeka. The work of re-
moving them began early in the day.
and it is believed that few will be left
IN the flooded town.
There is no way of getting at the
amount of damage done by the flood
in Topeka and vicinity. The damage
may reach s2,OO0,O0O Crops in the
Kansas bottom are destroyed, which
will mean an enormous loss TO farmers.
