MAY NOT FINE
ITALIAN SHIP
ACTING COLLECTOR HAS BEEN
INVESTIGATING CASE OF THE
AGOSTINA TERRIZONA.

The Italian ship Agostina Terrizona
was entered at the Custom House this
afternoon. Acting Collector Stacka BILE
examined the master closely regarding
the circumstances of the vessel going
to Makaweli instead of coming first to
this port, as she had cleared for Homo
lulu from Newcastle.
Both chronometers on the vessel were
stopped and the vessel was out of her
course. When she stopped the steam-
er Mikahala the ship was within sight
of Nawiliwili. 1t was at first thought
strange that the master of the Italian
ship had not set his chronometers by
those on the steamer. The steamer
does not carry chronometers. Captain
Gregory of the Mikahala was asked
this afternoon by Acting Collector
Stackable regarding this subject and
related the fact of there being no
chronometers on the steamer.
The Investigations by the Customs
Department thus far indicate that the
Italian ship was in distress and was
therefore, entitled to proceed to the
nearest port for refuge or assistance.
After reaching Makaweli the Italian
ships chronometers were adjusted by
those on the bark Edward May which
was then in Maxwell.
The matter Is now under considera-
ton by the Customs officials. There
may not be a fine levied against the
master of the Italian ship. If a fine
is levied, II will not be until after an
opinion on the subject will have been
received from United States District
Attorney Breckons.

An indictment charging eighty diff
ferent defendants with conspiracy to
violate a federal statute was filed this
morning in the United States District
court, as a result of the Investigations
which the Grand jury has been making
into the affairs of the japanese asso-
citation of procurers and pimps. About
twenty men and women are already un-
der arrest on the charges set forth in
this remarkable indictment and others
are being arrested daily. The number
shows how large will be the business of
Judge Dole's first term on the federal
bench. Among the names in the in
dictment is that of Attorney F. NJ.
Brooks, who is understood to have been
attorney for the association.
Brooks was in court when the report
of the jury was made. He was re-
presented by George A. Davis, E. p.
Dole and A. S. Cunha. Brooks want
ed his case set at once and will plead
tomorrow. United States Attorney
Breckons stated that no bail would be
asked and Brooks went free on his own
recognizance.
Chu Gun was arraigned for peonage,

office order and half a dozen Japs, pre-
viously indicted for violations of the
peonage laws or immigration laws j.
w, Cathcart represents most of the
defendants, who are to plead next
Monday. Judge Dole stated that UNI
der the law the cases might go over
to the next term If the defendants so
desired, and this question is to be
settled on Monday. The judge Will
call the civil calendar tomorrow.
The indictment accusing over eighty
persons charges an offense set forth
in other similar indictments as follows,
alleging that one Shine ION to wit,

A POPULAR PROPOSITION.
Auxiliary Bank System Proves a Great
Success.

The auxiliary bank system of the
savings department of the Bank of
Hawaii has proven to be a greater sue
cess than it's friends anticipated. The
little banks are still eagerly sought for
and before the present campaign is fin
Usher nearly every home in Honolulu
will have one or more of the home
safes.
The way to save money is pointed
out by the Bank of Hawaii. Not by
keeping it in your house, for you are
in danger of losing it by thieves; and,
if you do not lose 1t in this way, still
you are losing money because it is
earning you nothing.
You can save it by putting it in the
Savings Department of the Bank of
Hawaii, Ltd, and it will be at work
for you night and day, earning
interest for you every hour, and the in
terest will also earn interest.
1t is safe there-it is working for
you; and you can get 1t out at frequent
intervals; or, when the sum grows
large enough, you can invest 1t in
something safe and sound.

Your Grand Jury further desires to
report that Irregularities in and con-
corning the election laws occurred at

The minority report says
The undersigned members of the
Grand Jury of this Honorable Court
and term beg leave TO report, in con-
nection with the nVestigation into the
charges submitted to us, of the frauds
and offenses committed at the recent
County election, as follows:
THAT many witnesses had been ex-
amined before the Grand Jury, who
has also inspected many of the ballots
cast in said election. That at no time
during said investigation have there
been more than IA members of the
Grand Jury present, ACTING or voting
That 1t has appeared to the undersign-
ed by great mass of evidence, much
of which was uncontradicted, that seri-
GUS violations of the Election Laws,
We're committed at said election, and
that indictments were justified by said
evidence, but the meagre number of
Grand Jurors on the panel permitted
and permits the defeat of any effort to
indict unless the Grand Jury shall be
practically unanimous
we feel that the failure to return
indictments in this behalf amounts to
failure of Justice we believe that
should the same matters be submitted
TO full panel of Grand Jurors, and
the same facts be laid before such full
panel, as were laid before us, indict-
ments would result.
We therefore venture to suggest to
this Honorable Court, in the interest Of
Justice, and of the purity and indie
pendence of the ballot in this Territory.
that the matters concerning the recent
County Election for the County of Ca
hu' which We're submitted by your
honor to this Grand Jury, be re-sub-
mitted to another Grand Jury to con-
sist of materially greater number of
Grand Jurors than took part in the
labors of this Grand Jury.

The majority report is as follows
ITO the Honorable George ID. Gear,
Second Judge of the First Circuit
Court Territory Of Hawaii, presiding:
Your above named Grand Jury haV-
ing heretofore, to wit: on the 18th day
OF November 1903, been duly charged
by your Honor to investigate election
frauds alleged to have been committed
within the Island of oahu and the
jurisdiction of this Honorable Court,
at and concerning the Special Election
of officers for the County of Oahu, ON
the Bird day of November last; and hav-
ing been given in hand a communica-
ton of G. w. Ashford, Esq, to your
Honor, containing particular charges
of election frauds and misdemeanors,
retired, and in accordance with said
charge, proceeded with the cOnsidera-
ton thereof.
The Grand Jury first considered par
ticularly the charges as contained in
the communication of Mr. Ashford.
And summoned before it the witnesses
whose names were contained therein as
Well as others who were suggested dur
ing the course of their examination.
From the evidence adduced by means
of said witnesses we are enabled to re-
port:
Two charges of alleged impersona-
ton of voters, and resulting illegal
voting were found to be unfounded in
fact, and the evidence of the witnesses
testifying in relation thereto mere
hearsay. Further in two cases ii was
found that Illegal voting had been in
dulged in, but the identity of the Of
tenders was conflicting and seems to
have been done only after careful eX-
animation by the inspectors present at
the time of the commission of the al
legged offense, and mala fides on the
part of said inspectors does not appear.
Evidence before this Grand Jury
dlscloses the fact that at several poll
ing places attempts We're made by per-
sons to this Grand Jury unknown to
vote in the name of other persons liv-
Ing but absent from the Territory, and
liz all instances the person so attempt
ing to vote was Immediately evicted
from the booth by the inspector.
'2nd. Illegal Rejection of Bal
lots by Making Thereon Marks of Iden-
tlhcation with linked Fingers.
Your Grand Jury particularly in
vestigated the charge sf improper re.
lection of ballots by means of making
identification marks thereon with ink
ed fingers by the inspector of election
counting the ballot. -tnd we are en-
abled to report that the ink marks and
marks of identification by means of ink
appeared to be the result of careless
ness of voters at the time of marking
the ballots. In many instances ink
marks were the result of soiied shelves
in voting compartments. While many
ballots We're properly rejected through
reproduction of the ink marks made by
the voter in the folding of the ballot
And in view of the above facts this
Grand Jury strongly suggests that inE
stamps be eliminated from future cleo.
tons. Your Grand Jury made an ex.
animation of ballots rejected for the
reason of ink marks and identification
marks contained thereon in the 7tf
Precinct of the 5th District and we
find that the proportion of Home Rule
and Republican ballots rejected bears

entirely upon cast-off garments which

This money he spent principally for
