TRUST INVESTMENTS.
1.-THE Official and Commercial Record.

1.-THE Official and Commercial Record.
The most noteworthy event in the
local financial world during the past
week was the formal approval by the
Probate Court of the bonds of the Pho
neer Mill Company, Ltd, as proper
investment for trust funds. The court
found the planta ton to be in pros
porous condition, with clear assets over
all liabilities amounting to $3,426, ass.
This is a splendid showing, and off,
cially fixes the status of Pioneer as one
of the solid investments of the Terri
tory. Pioneer is, in name, one of the
Oldest planta atoms in the islands. Since
annexation, however, it has been so
greatly enlarged, improved and
developed, that it is practically
a new plantation. The company
has shown great energy and
ingenuity in the development of the wa
ter supply. A large stream is being
brought from Honokohau, the north
west point of the island, to the fields.
Back of Kaanapali a series of tunnels
into the mountain have been run, re-
sulting in a flow, at an elevation of
several hundred feet, of several mil
lions of gallons of water a day. This
water is used to generate electricity
which is conveyed to pumps at low
levels and used to elevate surface well
water for the lower fields. After gener-
ating the electricity, the same water is
itself used for irrigation. These new
sources of water have greatly increased
the capacity of the plantation, while
decreasing the pro rata cost of irriga-
ton.
1t is of the greatest benefit to the
Territory to have safe investments Of
this character in which trust funds
may be invested, as the number of To-
cal estates, trust companies and other
investing concerns of a similar charac-
ter, with moneys to loan, is constantly
increasing. With approved bonds at
home, which can be purchased, the
money will stay here; otherwise it is
liable to go abroad.

BETTER LATE THAN

comes a time in mems lives when
they are "afraid of that which is

ATTORNEY GENERALS REPORT.

Attorney General, Honolulu, T. H.
October 8, 1903.
To His Excelency Sanford B. Dole,
Governor, Territory of Hawaii
Sir: In reference to the letter of Col.
John Mcclellan, commanding the Ar
tillery corps stationed at Honolulu,
referred to me by yourself. in which
he complains of injustice done to three
soldiers, to wit: Buckley, Fisher and
Nerney. of his command. l would state:
that the three men We're arrested,
charged with burglary, and held in the
District Court for the action of the
grand jury. BY the grand jury they
We're indicted and when brought for
trial the jury We're instructed to acuuit
them by Judge Gear, owing to the fact
that the Judge held that the crime of
burglary in this Territory only existed
when property over the value of $50
was stolen, and that man who broke
into a building and stole less could not
be convicted of burglary. The prose-
cutting department having no appeal
from such a decision, the men We're
discharged but We're rearrested and
are now charged, as I understand 1t,
with petty larceny. AS to the fact of
their rearrest. and the complaints
made by the Colonel in his letter,
would state that the officer who arrest
ed them, Henry Van Giesen, approach
ed me in the court room, while the
Judge was giving his decision, and told
me he had a warrant for the rearrest
of the men. I told him that II that

had left the court house.

men, crowded around them, congratu-

who is a reputable officer. and in whose
word I have great confidence, that
upon their leaving the court house he
approached the three men and stated
to them that he had warrant for their
arrest. The men Immediately gave
themselves into his custody, and II was

Attorney General.
COMMANDER TO GOVERNOR,

|
War Department.: Headquarters Artil-
| lery District of Honolulu.
Honolulu, II. t. Oct. 10, 1903.
To His Excellency the Governor.
| Sir: l have read carefully the report
of the Attorney General which you
| sent me today and regret much to say
! that l find therein the same inaccuracy
and carelessness of statement which
| characterizes other statements pur-
porting to come from the same source
which I have recently read in the
newspapers.
| The Attorney General in his report
states that 1 complain "of injustice
done to these soldiers" I did not do
So but l did state in my letter that
| counsel for defense informed me that
there is now danger that a grave in
justice will be done them"
The third paragraph of the Attorney
Generals report is directly contradict
ed by the sergeant present who states
that upon the verdict being announced,
the three accused passed from the
courtroom and that two or three SOL
ders out OF the dozen present got up
and shook hands with them, as also did
two of the jurors and one of the police
men.
The sergeant assures me that there
was no demonstration whatever and
when the Attorney General states
1.-The soldiers in every way expressing
their pleasure at the result he must
surely be mistaken, and certainly
shows that he has but little knowledge
of soldiers.
l have repeatedly given strict orders
l. a et,pt i.,tn
on account of these matters, and no
discussion of proceedings of the civil
authority, or courts, and | have the
means of knowing that my orders are
obeyed.
The Attorney General states that he
told the police officer that "he must
wait till the men left the court house"
to serve his warrant. But the SER
geant informs me that all the soldiers
were stopped in the hall of the court
house and detained there by the police,
until the three men We're identified by
the police and rearrested The SOL
diers assisted in this Identification and
arrest and good feeling was shown to-
ward the police.
The Constitution of the United States
provides that no man shall be put in
jeopardy twice for the same offense,
and ] am reluctantly constrained to
say that IL now seems probable that the
three soldiers will suffer this injustice,
The Attorney General states that
"the evidence shows a clear case of
burglary against these three soldiers"
Since reading this statement / have
further inquired into this matter and
am again constrained to differ in opin-
ion with the Attorney General and to
say, that l am much in doubt If these
three men can be convicted of petty
larceny.
AS l expect 10 depart for San Fran
cisco on Tuesday next, I would ur-

COMMANDER TO GOVERNOR.
Headquarters Artillery District of
Honolulu, Camp Mckinley, H. T., Oct.
6, 1903.
To His Excellency, the Governor.
Sir: I have the honor to report that
I am informed that today the three
soldiers, Buckley, Fisher and Nerney,
indicted for burglary We're acquitted
of that charge by the court Judge
Gear presiding, and that when they left
the courtroom they We're Immediately
arrested by the Sergeant of Artillery
who had been sent to bring them back
to this post to be punished by the
military authority.
A policeman then approached the
sergeant and informed him that he
had warrant for the arrest of the
three men, and though the sergeant
explained that he had been ordered
to bring the tire men back to this
camp, he of course turned them over
to the police officer to be taken to the
sheriff.
7 am further informed by coun-
men, that they have been charged
with an offense which is the
same as that for which they have al
ready been tried, and of which they
were acquitted, and that there is now
danger that a grave injustice will be
done them.

known to Van Gesen. Van Giesen
showed him the warrant, and the SER
geant made no objection to the civil
authorities taking the men into their
charge. AS to the complaint made by
the mems counsel to the Colonel / sub
nit that, as a practicing lawyer, he
knows that If his clients were Illegally
rearrested by the government, or are
illegally detained by it. he has COM
plete remedies in the civil courts, with
out running to the military authorities
and whining about oppression.
I am not aware that the laws of the
United States, in force here. are so
inequitable as to prevent justice being
done any man accused of crime, in
fact, it is more difficult to obtain con-
victions in this Territory. as a general
rule. than in many States of the Union.
If the Colonel, or counsel, fear that
great injustice has been or will be done
the men by their rearrest, writs of
habeas corpus are at the disposal of
the injured.
I regret very much that the Colonel
should feel that there was any dispo-
sition to interfere with the military
authorities, and had our department.
or the police, known of the orders of
the camp, we would certainly not have
made the rearrest when we did, but
your Excellency can see the danger OF
allowing the men to go when no such
orders We're shown, and when they
We're surrounded by n large number of
their comrades, who We're in perfect
sympathy with them. AS a matter of
fact, the evidence shows n clear case
of burglary against these three sol
diers and, except for the technicality
upon which they We're discharged by
Judge Gear. I have full confidence that
they would have been convicted by the
Jury. and I feel that it is only right
that they should be punished for their
crime.

LONDON, Oct. l3.-When England

list congress that she would place a large
tract of her East Africa possessions
at its disposal for Jewish colony, the

sandy plain, one palm tree, rampant
lion and group of naked negroes.
As matter Of fact, this little known
country is one of the paradise spots of
the country. You have read Of ugan-

to know that il now has a first class

Cleveland to New York: that it is a
country "over1owing with milk and

man.
English foresight, the Anglo-Saxon
Instinct which prepares new territory
for home for its children, is seen here.
