THE SAME JURY.

The jury that convicted Kamuela
was the one impaneled on Thursday,
some of whose members struck duty
on Friday morning owing to a news
item in the Advertiser relating to
their impaneling. AS previously re-
torney General to take such proceed
ings as he found necessary for calling
the Advertiser to account for impeding
justice in the case
Attorney General Andrews reported
with authorities yesterday morning.
His investigation had confirmed his
first impression that there was nothing
actionable in the offending article It
had been his desire to be sure about
it, as the jurors seemed to be aggrieved
and were entitled to protection. There
were Eastern cases in which juries
were attacked with severe criticism
and aspersions while trials were in
progress, but in which the supreme
courts held there was nothing action
able. In the present case it appeared
the article at the worst was but a
criticism of the defendants attorney
for what he did in connection with the
impaneling of the jury. Mr. Andrews
maintained that the jury must not be
influenced by newspaper comment,
citing the practice in some places of
forbidding jurors the perusal of pub
lished reports Of cases they were try
ing at the time. He stated that it was
impossible there should be any hidden
meaning in the offending article, say
ing of it:
1T mentions the race line and the
color line, but there is nothing in it
derogatory to the natives. Suppose
the paper had said that there was a
red-headed jury and some one should
object. There would not be anything
that could be taken up under the
law
Judge Gear asked what was to be
done. The Attorney General replied
that his department was ready to go
on with the trial. Mr.. Long stated

FEDERAL GRAND JURY
Continued from Page ~

States and in doing so has provided for
the protection of all money or postal
orders issued by authority of the Pos
tai Department of the government, and
the punishment of all violations of the
Postal laws in that regard. You will
be called upon to examine some offenses
of this character, and you will give
them the same careful consideration
that you do to all offenses against the
laws of the United States laid before
you for investigation.
THE REVENUE LAWS.
Finally, among the matters which
you will be called upon to consider,
will be violations of the Act of June 10,
1890, entitled "An Act to simplify the
laws in relation to the collection of the
revenue" (Vol. L, Supp. r. S. U. S.
1907 commonly known as the Customs
Administrative Act"
The particular violation of this law
arises under Section 8 thereof, which
reads as follows:
That if any owner, importer, con-
signee or agent or other person shall
make or attempt to make any entry of
imported merchandise by means of any
fraudulent or false invoice, affidavit,
letter, paper or by means of any false
statement, written or verbal, or by
means of any false or fraudulent prac-
tice or appliance whatsoever, or shall
be guilty of any wilfull act or omission
by means whereof the United States
shall be deprived of the lawful duties
or any portion thereof accruing upon
| the merchandise Or any portion thereof
| embraced or referred to in such invoice
| affidavit, letter, paper or statement, OIL
| affected by such act or omission, such
| merchandise or the value thereof to be
recovered from the person making the
entry, shall be forfeited, which for.
fixture shall only apply to the whole OF
| the merchandise or the value thereof in
| the case or package containing the par.
| ticular article or articles of merchan.
| disc to which such fraud or false paper
| or statement relates. And such per
son shall, upon conviction, be fined fol
each offense, a sum not exceeding five
thousand dollars, or be imprisoned fol
a time not exceeding two years or both
in the discretion of the Court"
! 1t is needless for me to remind yot
that the object of this section of the
customs administrative act is to secure
to the United States its just duties
And it is also the intent of the revenue
laws of the United States that all par
ties importing or bringing into thu
| United States merchandise of any
kind, shall stand upon an equal footing
before the law. And any violation O
these customs laws is not only dep
! rivation of the United States of it:
just dues, but also works an Injustice
to all others who conform to the law!
and pay the duties imposed upon the
! merchandise they impOrt.

IMMIGRATION LAWS.

Gentlemen of the Jury: 1t has been
the settled policy of the United States
to exclude from our shores certain
classes of immigrants deemed to be an
undesirable element to add to our pop
ulation, and the laws of Congress pass
ed relative thereto from time to time,
have been sought to be rigidly enforced
by both the administrative and judicial
branches of the government. Among
the classes excluded are women and
girls who are imported for purposes Of
prostitution, which subject l have al
ready called to your attention.
Among the other classes are persons
unlawfully brought to the United States
under the provisions of the Act of
March 8, 1903 relative to the "Immigra-
ton of aliens into the United States"
such unlawfulness consisting in the
fact that they have been assisted or
encouraged to come into the country
under contracts or agreements, or Of
fers or promises of labor and their
transportation prepaid by the parties
encouraging them to come into the
country under the conditions stated.
l do not deem it necessary to go into
these laws in detail. The United States
District Attorney, as l have heretofore
suggested to you, will be ready and
willing to aid you in your Investigations
into all these matters. making clear to
you what laws are claimed to have
been violated and in what respect.
If you should desire any further in
structions from the Court you are at
liberty to ask for them at any time and
upon any of the matters embraced in
this charge or any other offenses that
you may have under investigation.
I appoint Mr.. Atwater your fore
man; you can select your own secre-
tary.
