D|MM|CK MUST
co To PRISON
Court Of Appeals Orders
Him Taken to San
Quentin.
His Attorney Strains Every
Nerve to Prevent His
Incarceration.

Unless Judge de Haven finds legal
grounds for further postponement Walter
N Dimmick will be taken TO the San
Quentin penitentfary next Thursday to
begin serving his sentence of two years
Imprisonment on his conviction for hav-
ing presented a false claim and false bill
to the United States Mint for collection,
the bill being payable to Selby q CO. and
having been paid before its presentation.
From the conviction in that case Dim
miCk's counsel, George D. Collins. ap-
pealed, and the United States Circuit
Court decided against him. Then Mr..
Collins obtained stay of proceedings for
sixty days for the purpose of preparing
and presenting a petition to the United
States Supreme Court for writ Of certiO-
rari, and that stay expired on January
10. Having failed at the proper time to
apply for a further stay, Mr.. Collins re-
quested United States Attorney Wood
worth to stipulate for more time. which
Mr.. Woodwork declined to do. Mr.. Col
lins then went to Judge Morrow and was
followed by Mr. Woodwork with a pro-
test. Defendants attorney then tele-
phOned to Judges Ross, Hawley and Gil
bert of the appeal court, and Mr.. Wood
worth, learning of that fact, again pro-
tested.
Mr.. Woodworth appeared yesterday
morning in the United States District
Court and asked Judge de Haven to exc
cute the mandate of the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals and have Dim
mick taken to the penitentiary. Again
Mr.. Collins made a desperate opposition
He said that il would be very inconve-
nient for him to travel back and forth
to San Quentin with his client He there
fore asked for further delay for the pur-
pose of preparing some motions In the
matter. Judge de Haven granted a stay
until tomorrow morning.
Dimmick was convicted on October Is.
1901, since which time he has been con-
fined in the County Jail in lieu Of the
bail bond of $4,000 required by the court.
II he had gone to the penitentiary on
that date he would have completed his
imprisonment before now. He IS also un-
der sentence of two years Imprisonment
for embezzlement. If convicted of the
charge of stealing $4,000 from the Mint
the highest penalty that can be imposed
is five years Imprisonment and a fine.
His third trial the $50, 900 charge has
been set for February 2.

RECENT DEFALCATIoNs.

Among other institutions of the Gov
ernment of the islands of which the COM
mittee disapproves is the Governors Ad-
visory Council. which they say is without
any authority of law. All questions, even
those pertaining TO slight improvements
in distant islands, are passed on by the
council. The committee considers this an
evil to be remedied by the creation of
local municipal governments throughout
the Territory.
Referring to the recent defalcations on
the part of officials in the island the
committee says:
There has recently been a perfect saturnalia
of defalcations, involving the administration OF
Governor Dole in cloud and enshrouding his
name in maze Of embarrassments.
The committee criticizes the present
system which requires no bonds from per-
sons engaged in judiciary positions, say
ing:
Although all these officers thus defauIting,
except Woodward Thompson, Chief Clerk
Wright and Walter A. Wright. were appointed
by Governor Dole by and with the advice and
consent Of the Territorial Senate. inasmuch as
it is conceded by all that those defaultng off,
GERS had always prior to their respective dp-
pointments. borne good regulations for integrity
and business capacity 1t would. in the opinion
blame account of these official Irregular les
to Governor Dole. 1t is however a matter
OF surprise that there is no provision whatever
In the organic act or in any local statute
requiring either the Territorial Treasurer or
any other Federal Territorial officer except
to give a bond conditioned for the faithful per-
fOrnanca of the trust
The San Francisco call., 1903-01-13
LARGER BONDS REQUIRED.

In the case of the Assessor and Tax Col
lector, while the local statute requires him
to give bond in not less than $4,000 he was
only required to give a bond, and is now
while by his testimony before tfs com
mittee he may have much as $3.50 coo taxes
in his hands and under his control at one
time In not requiring greater bond from this
officer your committee believes the Governor
and Secretary of State are properly charged bls
with neglect Of public duty. Your com
mittee recommend such legislation as will
ritoral who has co1trol of public funds to
give sufficient bond to cover any and All
delinquencies.
The committee finds that Queen Liliuo-
kalani had no personal interest in the
her, but only an official interest during
her reign. Such interest would have en-
titled her to the rental of the lands and
the committee finds from the time of the
dethronement to September l last the
rental would have amounted to S432. .37S
In view of all the circumstances the com
mittee recommends that las an act both
of justice and national grace and wisdom
the Senate consider with favor, on the
lines indicated in this report, the claim
of the late Queen Lilluokalani. now a
loyal private citizen of the United States
and make such reasonable provision for
her ss the facts here presented may seem
to Justify"
The committee recommends the disaI-
lowance of claims made by the other
persons processing to be members of the
late royal family of Hawaii

CROWD DISAPPOINTED AT
NOT SEEING MISS AMBER
Hearing of Charge of Threats to Kill
Against Her Husband Is Post
nnne6

Police Judge Fritz's courtroom was
crowded TO the doors yesterday morning
when the case of Ira Puerl Wilkerson,
charged with threatening to kill his wife,
Maude Amber, leading lady a Fischer s
Theater. was called. The crowd evident
ly expected to hear her tell on the wit
ness stand all about her marital trou-
bles, but she did not make her appear
ance.
Wilkerson was in court with his attor-
ney, A. S. Newburgh, who asked for a
continuance till tomorrow afternoon at
o'clock. which was agreeable to the
prosecution. and it was so ordered. New
burgh says he will at that time ask that
the case be transferred to another court
from the fact that the Judge is a per-
sonal friend of Winfield Blake, the lead
ing man at FischeTs.
The Judge will grant the request for a
transfer.

BURTON DIssENTS.

Senator Burton takes the opposite view.
He saws that neither the native nor white
men will work in the sugar fields. and he
calls attention to the freedom with which
Oriental labor was brought In in the days
of monarchy.
1T is" he says, "a well-known fact
that the country was very prosperous
when it was a kingdom, and continued
very prosperous under the provisional
government and under the republic. Its
period of decline began with annexation,
and matters have gone on under anneXa-
ton from bad to worse until to-day the
specter of hard times is found every
where throughout the islands,
He SAYS the Chinese are preferable to
the japanese. and he urges that it is an
unfair discrimination 10 allow the latter
to come in unrestricted and not to permit
the former TO come in al all. He suggests
that Chinese be allowed to enter to per-
form agricultural labor and for no other
purpose
Much space is devoted TO discussion
of the administration Of the public lands
of the Territory and the committee finds
that the policy pursued in Hawaii with
reference TO these lands is directly con-
trary TO the policy pursued in the United
States. 1t is remarked that whereas the
policy on the mainland is to preserve the
lands for homes for the people, the policy
now being enforced in Hawaii seems
TO be TO utilize the public domain solely
for the purpose of revenue and conse-
quently very little of the public lands are
being sold but large tracts placed under
long leases, a policy which, in the judg-
ment of your committee, should not be
continued under any circumstances or for
any length of time.
In addition to the recommendation that
the leasing system be abolished the com
mittee suggests that the control of the
lands Immediately be taken from the Ter
ritorial government and vested in the In
terror Department at Washington.
The centralized character of the pres
ent government is commented upon at
length and very sharply criticized. It is
declared there is very slight difference in
this respect from the monarchial form of
government nreceding annexation.

HAWAII NEEDS
LEGISLATIVE AID
Senate Committee Files
Report on Island
Affairs.
Changes Are Recommended
to Strengthen the Exist
ing Government.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-When the Sen
ate met to-day Mitchell of Oregon sub
mitted the report of the committee of the
Senate on its investigation of affairs in
the Hawaiian Islands The condition of
affairs in the leper settlement on the ISL
and of Molokai excited the liveliest in
tereSt.
The committee made quite a thorough
inquiry concerning this settlement, which
is under Territorial control, with the re-
suit that il recommends that the man
agement of the colony be transferred to
the marine hospital service, with head
quarters in Washington, and that a gem
eral leprosario or retreat for all the lep-
ers of the United States be established on
that island
At the time of the visit of the commit
tee there were S5S lepers in the settle
ment. The opinion is expressed that there
are many hundreds of other cases of lep-
rosy in the Territory. In the past year
in the Molokai settlement there were 144
deaths and sixteen births
In connection with it's discussion of the
labor question the committee takes up the
effort on the part of the business men of
the islands to secure the removal of some
of the restrictions on Chinese immigra-
tion.
This desire is conceded to be very gen.
eral but Senator's Mitchell and Foster,
representing a majority of the sub com
mittee, take very positive ground in op-
position. They say that the conditions
are not different in the islands from what
thev are on the mainland and make the
usual argument against Chinese admis-
sion. They contend also that the Chinese
do much to introduce and maintain bu-
bonic plague and other contagious dis

WOMEN BEAT SAILOR,
John Nulty Tries to Kiss Pretty Girl
 and Comes to Grief.

New York, September 4-scores of in. furiated women have beaten John Nulty recently discharged from the navy, into insensibility in Madison square because he attempted to hug Fortunto Torito. a pretty girl of IA years. Fortunito, with her two sisters, was listening to the band playing in the park when Nulty came along.
 I'm going to kiss you," he said to For tunito, and grasped her in his arms The girl screamed for help. Instantly hun dreds of women rushed to the scene They rained blows on Nulty and finally felled him. He was kicked on sides and his face was torn by sharp finger nails and hands, full of hair was torn from his head. Nulty cried for mercy, but the women gave none. Men tried to get at him but the women waved them back. We'll attend to him. they said
 Lynch the cur" shouted the men,
 The cries of Nulty for aid had sunk to low moans when two officers arrived After forcing their way through the crowd of struggling women, the police found that Nulty had tainted. He was carried to the station and locked up.
