a strong effort is being made to in

WILL LOOK
FOR GRAFT
Territorial Grand
Jury Takes a
Hand.

The Territorial grand jury will try
Its hand at legislative investigation to-
day. District Attorney Rawlins, who
has been specially deputized by the
Attorney General for the work, Is to
conduct the investigation and he has
made preliminary inquiry into the
matter, which will probably be prod
uctive of results.
The Territorial investigation is like
ly to involve some of the House MEM
bers. and although the evidence will.
be hard to secure, some of the legis-
lators will be required to give an ex-
PLANTATION of some very suspicious cir
cumstances.
While there was some doubt as to law
which would be sufficient to cover the
cases, it is now said, that this diff
Guilty has been overcome, and IL Moth
ing further, indictments may he re-
turned for gross cheat. For instance
If man was drawing eight or ten
dollars per day as n House officer, and
still drawing per diem from several
committees and overtime as WELL he
will be compelled to make some rapid
calculations in order to explain away
what looks like a case of gross cheat
upon some one. Clerks who worked
for more than one committee, and
charged a full day for each, will be
asked how they happened to be able
to draw pay for thirteen and four
teen days work in one weeks time The
disappearance of government property
| such as law books typewriters, foun-
tain pens, etc, will also be Investigate
ed.
1t Is possible that the inquiry by the
grand jury will not be concluded be-
fore the court term ends, but 1t is ex-
pected to develop sufficient evidence
in the meantime to secure some in
dictments. The investigation will
then be carried on by the grand jury
summoned at the opening of the next
term in January.

SPENT $4,000
IN VIOLATING THE LAW

1t cost in the neighborhood of $780,
900 for the Legislature of Hawaii to
violate the law at the last session.
That is approximately the amount
which was spent in interpreting and
during the regular and ex-
ira session, as shown by the summary
of the vouchers of the House and Sem
ate, although the actual expenditure
for dsobeying the section of the Or
ganic Act requiring the proceedings
of the Legislature to be conducted IN
the English language will probably
exceed that figure.
For one thing II the. law had been
obeyed there would have been no ne
cessity for the extra session at all.
and all the business of the Legislature
would have been concluded well within
the sixty days which Congress deemed
sufficient for such work.
According to the House vouchers
that body spent approximately 10000
for services in translating, interpreting
and printing bills in Hawaiian. The

HAWAIIAN
SHIPMENTS

Contracts made by the American
Hawaiian Steamship Company with
sugar plantations of Hawaii for the
season of 1904, will give the line about
$4,000 tons of sugar for transporta-
ton to Delaware Breakwater and San

ments of sugar for the local service
between Honolulu and San Francisco
for the season Of 1904, to be handled
exclusively by the steamship Nevadan,
TIE Dttl
permanently from the local service to

The Nevadan will carry about $4,000
tons to San Francisco, of which 1000
tons will be taken on at Kahului from
the plantations OF Alexander & Bald
win and the Wailuku company. The
remaining 10000 tons will be taken on
at Honolulu which will be derived from
the crop of the Makee Sugar Company
on Kauai.

ar contracts, around the Horn, COM
prises the steamships Alaskan, Ari-
conan and Texan with a capacity OF
II 900 tons each; the steamships Amer

waiian, each with n capacity of 5000
tons; and the steamship Nehraskan
