HAWAIIAN CRIMINAL LAWS
FOUND TO BE DEFECTIVE
Extra Session of the Legislature May
Be Called to Remedy the
Existing Defects.

HONOLULU, Sept. H-Judge G.. d.
Gear of the First Circuit Court of the
Territory in a decision rendered by him in
the case of a Chinese accused of selling
opium illicitly holds that the Territorial
criminal laws are defective in that the
most trivial offenses, including drunken
ness, are legally classed with infamous
crimes, which require an Indictment by a
grand jury in Territories under the Fed
eraI constitution. Judge Robinson con-
ours with Judge Gear in his decision. The
decision places the police in a serious di-
Iernna inasmuch as they cannot enforce
the most unimportant police regulation
without the aid of the Grand Jury.
The imperfections of the criminal laws
of the Territory are said to be due to the
failure of Territorial Legislatures to make
the statutes of the monarchy and repub-
lie of Hawaii conform to the United
states constitution. The ACCESSIBILITY of
holding an extra session for the purpose
of curing defects in the laws is being dis
cussed.

YOUTH MUST SERVE
YEARS IN A PRISON
Young Man of Shasta County Found
Guilty for Killing a Half
Bread

REDDING, Sept. A.-Frederick Craven
Jr., aged "a years, was this afternoon
found guilty of murder in the second de-
gree for killing Frank Rowe, half-breed
Indian, at Whitmore on December % last.
The verdict contained a recommendation
that the court in passing. sentence impose
the least penalty provided by law for
such crime That is ten years impris-
onment. Sentence will be passed Satur-
day.
Rowe and Craven duarreled over Is
cents in a card game at Whitmore and
the killing resulted. Craven came to Red
ding and offered to give himself up. but
was not wanted. as the details of the
tragedy which first reached the District
Attorney showed Craven to have acted in
self-defense. The Coroner's inquisition re-
suited in Craven's arrest. In the mean
while he could have left the country had
he been so minded. The first trial, held
last May. resulted in jury standing six
for acquittal and six for conviction for
manslaughter. The jury inS the second
trial after being out twenty-one hours
reached to-days verdict.

OFFICERS LOSE
THE FUGITIVE
Slayer Of Former Sheriff
Makes Escape From
Jail.

BAKER CITY. Ore, Sept. A.-Anderson
CARED, who shot and killed A ]. Nc
Kinnon, former Sheriff of Harvey Coun-
ty, Oregon, at Guerneville, Cal, Septem-
Der s, was seen in this city to-day.
CARED was arrested by Constable
Thornberg at Granite the other day for
stealing a pair Of shoes. The constable
did not know he had arrested for petty
larceny a man wanted for murder, until
his attention was called to the fact by
notice in a paper to that effect. He
went back to the jail to see that the pris-
oner was more closely confined, only to
find that the man had escaped
Thornberg is positive, since he saw the
picture sent out by Sheriff Grace Of So
noma County, California, that the man
he had in Jail was CARED, and this is
confirmed by several people who saw the
picture of CARED who declare that they
saw him on the streets of Baker yester-
day and to-day. Officers are searching
for him tonight.

FINDS A BRICK
INSTEAD OF COIN
Hotel Proprietor Mar
vels at Contents
Of a Valise.
special pLspatch to The can.

FRESNO, Sept. A.-One of the cleverest
and most mysterious thefts ever perpe-
trated in this. county took place last Fri
day night at Sanger.
Con Harrigan, proprietor of the Sequoia
Hotel at WILDWOOD had forwarded to him
Friday from the Bank of Central Cali
fornia, in this city, sack of coin amount
ing to $500. The money went as far as
Sanger by the express company, and was
called for there by John Price, manager
Of the stage line to Wildwood. Price put
the sack of coin in a valise and carried
1t to the stage office, putting it in a locker
for safe keeping.
In the morning the stage driver put
the valise aboard without looking into ii
and delivered it to Harrigan at the hotel
in the evening. When Harrigan opened
1t he found it contained not his money,
but a brick wrapped up in a Irvine sack.
The weight was almost equal to that of
the sack of coin.
The supposition is that somebody who
knew that the money was in the stage
office entered it with a skeleton key and
substituted the brick for the money Har-
rigan has several detectives working on
the case.

wHEELER GIVES FACTS.

& President, Wheeler then delivered the
dedicatory address, which ended with a.
tribute to Mr.. Hearst for his generosity
in providing the university with a great
gift. He said:
We dedicate to-day a new, structure on
ground already consecrated. The we'll estab-
lished usage of the graduating classes long
since appropriated this hillside to mystic rites
and set apart this spot to be a temenos Of
Dionysos. These solemn trees that now look
down upon have acquainted themselves well
through years of patient attendance with ali
the various ritual that makes up the service
Of the sovereign god of dramatic art and here
they stand to-day familiars to the romping
satyrs and the trooping maenads and guard
ians of the sacred revels. This day they shall
have JOY beyond their wont to see the worship
of the feast enacted by their old feathered
friends of the tribe of birds.
In building our theater on q site already
dedicated we follow an ancient and honorable
precedent. A hundred years before the old
Athenians made the beginning OF a perma-

been used to assemble the hillside over
looking the old orchestra, the dancing circle
at the southeastern foot Of the acropolis, to see
the choral dance and hear the plays of Phryni-
chus and Aeschylus and Sophocles, of Graft
mus. Eupolis and Aristophanes. AS time went
on they built for the spectators seats of wood,
ilEria they called them. They were veritable
bleachers in the fact, and bleachers often

THEATER WAS NEEDED.

The university has long stood in sore need
OF an auditorium ample enough for its great
meetings and the celebration of its chief fes-
ttyals. Once it has used huge tent and
the winds sported with it's roofing and would
have none of It; once and again it tried the
gymnasium, and the roof sported with the
speakers words till the wind bore them away;
twice at least for the university's annual fes-
tival and repeatedly for others, 1t has trusted
itself TO the open California sky and not
having been deceived has learned that the
