REVISION OF CORPORATION LAW.

The present Legislature ought to provide
for the codifcation and revision of the laws
of the State relating to corporations. By
this Is meant the laws relating to county
and township business, highways, gravel
roads, street improvements, insurance--in
short, those relating to all municipal pub
lie and private corporations. There has
been no general revision of the laws Of the
State since 1881, and that was incomplete.
commission appointed under an act of
the Legislature of 1872 consisting of James
s. Fraser, John H. Stotsenberg and David
Turpie, reported to the General Assembly
Of 1881 sixty-seven bills, of which thirty
two passed, two were defeated and thirty
three failed in the Senate for want of time
to act upon them. The failure of these bills
to pass necessitated new compilation,
and the board was continued for that pur-
pose. Its final report was not satisfactory
to the board itself. There has been no
authorized revision of the laws since that
time. and in the interval many new ones
have been enacted. A general revision of
all the laws is desirable, but at present it

relating to corporations. According to the
testimony of lawyers these are inharmoni-
Gus and quite unsuited to present condi-
tons. This is so far true that some i'm
portant corporations doing business in In
diana have found it advisable to organize
under the laws OF other States, and this
State is constantly a large loser in fees on
this account.
The present movement for revision Of
the laws originated with the Indianapolis
Bar Association. which unanimously in
| dorsed suggestion of its president in this
behalf and appointed a committee to pre-
sent the matter to the Legislature. This
committee consists of Messrs. John R. Will
| son, chairman, and John w. Kern, Ovid
| B. Jameson. Edward Daniels and Merrill
Moores, with Mr.. Nathan Morris, president
Of the association, a member ex off1cio.
| The recommendations of this committee
should carry weight with the Legislature
and insure for the subject the careful con-
| sideration its Importance demands.

Adachi was taken to jail yesterday
afternoon, to remain until he is willing
to answer the questions put to him in
the federal grand jury room, concern
ing the association Of Japanese alleg-
ed to be organized for the protection of
crime in Honolulu. Adachi was taken
before Judge Estee yesterday morning
and given the alternative of purging
himself of contempt by answering the
willing to do so. The japanese clerk
was given an opportunity to again an
swer questions before the grand jury
during the day but he was so evasive
and reluctant, that his efforts did not
satisfy the court or District Attorney
Breckons and in the afternoon Adachi
was sent to prison.
The examination of Adachi before
Judge Estee was sensational but it was
only an incident to the sensati tons
which may yet develop in the investi-
cation Of japanese crime in Honolulu.
G. c. Biting appeared for the jap
anese in federal court yesterday morn
ing. When the matter was called up
by Judge Estee, W. o. Atwater, fore
man of the grand jury, was sworn.
Mr.. Atwater testified that he had adj
ministered the oath to Adachi in the
grand jury room during the taking of
testimony in the case Of Shikamatsu.
| The question asked Adachi was as to
| his connection with the association
formed for the purpose of preventing
criminal prosecution of Japanese.
Judge Estee interposed with a oues-
ton as to whether the federal court
was meant, and the affirmative reply
by Mr.. Atwater astonished the judge sc
much, that he asked again if the state
ment was the truth. He was assured
that it was. Atwater further stated
that Adachf based his refusal on the
| ground that he was confidential clerl
of the association. This was all thu
evidence offered by Mr.. Breckons ant
| Adachi was called to the stand by Bit
ting. He testified that he had refused
to answer the question put by tn
grand jury as to money paid by ellen

VOUCHERS ARE

Marshal Hendry leaves this week for
visit to Hawaii and Maui for the pur-
pose of summoning the remaining mem
bers of the House to appear before
the grand jury. The vouchers, about
which it is said, the grand jury will in
quire, have not turned up as yet. The
Senate vouchers and all accounts have
been turned in to the Secretary's Of
flee. Two years ago it was the Senate
and not the House which failed to turn
in its vouchers. The investigation of
the legislature will probably not take
place until the grand jury meets again
in three weeks.

Adachi was committed to Jail in the
afternoon for term of three weeks or

The commitment however provided for

so unsatisfactory that he was finally

to have three weeks in iail as the grand
jury will take a recess for that period
