In the Report OF the Attorney GEN
eral for eighteen months ending Dec
81 1902, the Attorney General states.
The High Sheriffs report shows very
large increase In the number OF prison.
ers, and In the cost OF prison supplies.
II is chiefly due to the efficiency OF Jail
or Henry that the oahu Jail or prison
OF the Territory has been we'll conduct
ed and maintained.
1T will be seen from the foregoing
that all persons convicted either of a
crime or misdemeanor are placed i'm the
same prison, and oftentimes the more
hardened criminal IN the same cell with
one less addicted to crime. They are
all sent to Oahu p ,Ison If convicted in
Honolulu, and all persons in the islands
convicted of felonies are sent there.
The man convicted of fast-driving may
be subject to exactly the same punish
ment as a burglar or robber. excepting
as to the length of time he may be i'm
prisoned. The robber, burglar, drunk
ard and fast-driver may be placed in
the same cell, if 1t is large enough. may
be taken together through the public
streets to work size by side in the
same stone-quarry or other place. may
be clothed in the Same stripes, made to
eat at the same table, and in fact 80
far as the statute goes anyone convict
ed of what is commonly called a mis-
demeanor is liable to exactly the same
treatment in exactly the same prison
and cell as one convicted of the most
infamous crime, the only difference be-
ing that the former cannot be so long
imprisoned as the latter. The one con-
victed of driving without a light may
have to be imprisoned in the Terrific
rial prison, known as Oahu prison, with
the one convicted of forgery, murder.
robbery, rape or sodomy. In fact they
may all be let out to any private per-
son in this Territory to work in the
kitchen, stable, yard, or even in the
stone-quarry of such private individual.
1t is not many years ago that this let
ting out of convicts was extensively
practiced in Honolulu, and the law has
never been changed.
of course 1t must be taken into con-
sideration that these statutes were
passed in the days when the Legislators
perhaps had no lea that the punish
ment provided by them would be meas
ured by the criterion established by the
Constitution of the United States, and
its exposition and construction by the
Supreme Court of the United States. II
as so measured, it may be required that
persons liable to the punishment pro-
vlded therein, are first entitled to an
Indictment by grand jury before they
can be put upon their trial"
In conclusion Judge Gear ordered the
discharge of Wa Sin. r. w. Breckons
MS attorney, asked that his bondsmen
be relieved and the order was duly
! made, c. c. Biting and j. NJ. Vivas
| asked the same orders made for ST.
NOES, charged with selling liquor with
out license and F. NJ. Brooks moved
the discharge of Nakamura, charged
with the same offence In each case
the discharge was ordered. Judge Gea,
stated that if the Attorney General mao
the evidence there was no reason WHY
the defendants set free should not be
Indicted by the grand jury and brought
up for trial. sf

FLoRTDA's HOTEL POPULATION.
Philosophically Considered From the
Local Point Of View.


One of the least populous among the
older states of the American Union,
Florida, presents a problem of govern
ment almost unique in that it contains
within itself population important by
comparison with her own that Is still
not of herself and Is much alien in
training, thought and habits of life.
The man whose interests and feelings
bind him to our soil sees the English
man pass who traces his ancestry to
the Norman conquest, and who rules
his partimonial acres by right of
deed from the sword hand dead 500
years ago; the French noble passes him
the time of day, and German may
give him, personal recollections of the
iron chancellor. The broker from Wall
street, whom populists have taught
him to look upon as a natural enemy,
may chuck his baby under the. chin
and the republican leader in the SEN
ate, who has helped to give him an APP
preparation for a neighboring harbor,
may fish with him all day. These pass
and repass as the seasons come and go,
but we need not look upon them as
mere strangers, because each Is neces-
sary to the other.
The Floridian gives to these great
communities within our own the safety
and confidence of assured law and or
der; from these visitors we may learn
the cosmopolitanism that to others can
only come as the best fruit of long ira
vel, and they are. or should be, the
embodiment Of "a market brought to
our own idoors-a blessing for which
the nation has gone to the Philippines,
and will again, perhaps. send its army
to invade Asia.
There was a time when we were
taught the hotels took nothing from
US and left nothing with us-which
condition, when true, was our fault
and our loss. Usually the capital in
vested in them is not Floridian at first,
because we had 1t not-neither the men
nor the money needed.
But IL becomes Floridian of neces-
sity-it helps us pay taxes, 1t makes
dead communities live. it exerts influ-
ence for us in Washington, 1t brings
the investor to view the land OF prom
tse, and Il makes us friends who stand
In the courts where power resides, The
town that has no hotel feels it must
secure one or dle--lt is unfortunate
that many who have them feel it nee
essary TO arouse antagonism and make
a division of interests. This great COM
nHnity within community comes and
goes. but 1t brings friends for the win
ter who remain friends during the sum-
mer as Thousand experiences have
proved when our boards of trade seek
capital for local enterprises or ask the
attention of an administration polfti-
cally opposed. In much our interests
are the sane-at all points where these
touch we stand together and a better
understanding will always help both;
man no longer lives for his little neigh
borhood alone.-Jacksonvile Times

"rnere Is some thing rotten in Dem

This information somewhat relieved
the fear of the delegates and they pro-
ceeded to dump the alleged rottenness
into the political ash barrel when 1t
came to ballotting. George Markham
wanted the speaker called to order
but Motley subsidized and the ballotting
began.
1t was but a short tinleG before the
straws began to show which way the
political wind was blowing. 1t was
blowing about an so knot breeze in the
direction of James H. Boyd and this
fact was not surprising. That Boyd's
nomination was certain had been in
dicated early during the progress of
nominations. His name was the only
one placed in nomination that had
caused the least applause. The bal
loting resulted as follows: James H..

A HOE WITH A
FIERY BREATH
NEW APPLIANCE TO BE USED TO
KEEP DOWN THE WEEDS ALONG
THE RAILROAD TRACK.

The Oahu Railway with the beginning
of the year expects to put crude oil to
an entirely new and rather novel use.
1t intends to make of it a means for
keeping clear the right of way of the
road from weeds and grass.
To those who have had no experience
in the NATTER or who have not given it
thought, the difficulty and expense of
keeping the right of way of railroad
clear of weeds is surprising. The right
of way has to be kept clear of weeds,
particularly between, and along side
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1903-09-24

the rails, or otherwise they would soon
grow up and when wet with rain or
dew, or when perfectly dry, greatly
impede the running and speed of
trains. 1t is one of the things in the
early days of a railroad, to joke about
afterwards, to talk of the times when
the train had to stop while the train
men got off and pulled up the weeds in
front of the train.
But the problem is a perennial one
for railroads. Rock ballasting and
crude oil treatment of the surface be-
tween the rails helps some. But it
does not eliminate the problem. Hith-
erto the man with the hoe has been the
only solution of the dlmculty. Men are
kept at work cuttina down the weeds.
1t costs the Oahu Railway & Land
Company about $4,000 a year to keep
the weeds down from between the rails
and alongside of them.
A new appliance will be put in oper-
alton the first of TIE year which it is
believed will greatly reduce the cost Of
this problem. The new device consists
essentially of an apparatus by which
the heat from the burning of crude pc
troleum is carried along the track and
for a distance of about four feet on
SetCll SluS VI tic lrdch, tight 10 the
weeds, burning them up. The appli-
ance is mounted on an engine, and it is
said that with this appliance a speed
of about five miles an hour can be
maintained, Utterly burning the weeds
up as the appliance passes along. The
expense, aside from the first cost of
the appliance is simply the cost of the
oil and of the locomotive and crew
while it is in operation. With this APP
pliance it is believed that the cost of
keeping the weeds down will be greatly
reduced. ~r

AALA PARK.

Aala park is finally assuming some
thing o fthe appearance of the purpose
to which it was dedicated by the legis-
lature five years ago. It has all been
filled in and levelled off. The water
pipes are now being laid through it SO
that grass can be planted and water
ed. With a little more care it ought
very speedily assume much different
appearance than it ever has, and to
soon become a playground for the
children of that region.
