.EAYQRS LARGER PAY

Judge De Bolt this morning gave his
views from the bench, of the proposed
plan Of Judge Robinson to have jurors
serve free i'm criminal cases. The
first judge, addressing the Grand jury,
stated that in his opinion jury fees
ought TO be raised to SO pef day, in
stead of being abolished, and he out
lined a plan for securing most of the
money from litigants. The judge was
speaking on the matter Of excuses, and
said that business men and others must
serve as Jurors in spite of the hard
ship it entailed, but that he thought
they should receive at least SO per
day
Il think that in civil cases the jury
fees should be paid by the losing liu-
CANT" said Judge De Bolt, but that
in no case should jurors have to serve
free. In criminal cases the jury fees
should be taxed to the defendant as a
part of the costs, if he is convicted. 1t
he is acquitted, the territory should pay
the jury fees"
Judge De Bolt expressed the strong
est dsapproval of the plan proposed by
Judge Robinson and said he hoped he
would never see such a law as Robinson
proposed in force here.

TALK OF RESIGNLNG

The Board of Health has reached its
limit of reductions i'm estimated appro-
priations and has so intimated to the
governor who insisted upon more cut
ting down. A meeting is being held
this afternoon to consider Carter's last
letter in which it was insisted that the
figures submitted are still too large.
The members do not see their way
clear to meet the governors ideas and
still maintain their service. and their
is talk of resgning As the board is
unanimous on the proposition this
would mean that all would resign at
once.
The following is the boards last let
ter on the subject, replying to Carter:
Hon. George r. Carter, Governor,
Territory of Hawaii
Sir: Your communication of this
date addressed to the President and
members of the Board of Health at
hand.
THE frankness of speech that has
always existed between US, should per
init the following statement to be made
and received in the spirit it is intend
ed: This Board fully realizes its public
duty, and also its responsibility for the
public health both as relates to human
and commercial welfare, for the care
of the leper charges, of the INDECENT
sick and insane and for a vigilant
oversight over the health of the COM
munity, that there may be no repetition
Of the mortality alarm, commercial
distress and embargo, we have at times
experienced
These responsibilities seem impera-
tive to the Board and more vital than
any other function of government save
that of public order.
This board has alrady gone much
further in it's reductions than any
other department considering the mag
nitude of its functions and duties which
| cannot be too restricted or suspended
without inviting disaster.
THE Board lacks nothing in public
spirit or devotion and self sacrifice to
the Imperative interests Of this Ter
ritory in the present financial crisis,
nor in any crises, as has previously
been proven.
The Board has earnestly endeavored
to meet, and in a very great degree has
met, your views and desires, but as
! conscientious public servants, have
been obliged to heed in some measure
the convictions of long public service
and experience.
"A meeting of the Board will be call
ed on Monday and your communication
laid before them. Very respectfully,
&'CHARLES B. COOPER,
President OF the Board of Health"

.GLENNAN MURDER
CASE STARTS TO-DAY
CONSIDERABLE DIFFICULTY EX-
PERIENCED IN SECURING A
JURY.

The trial of the Japanese who is
charged with having assassinated G. H.
Glennan at the Maxwell ditch some
times ago commenced at Lihue today.
The trial commenced at 9 o'clock. NJ.
F. Prosser the deputy attorney general
for Kauai, is conducting the case. He
is being assisted by Chester Doyle who
under his certificate is able to practice
as an attorney. Doyle worked up the
case against the defendant and secured
a confession from him, so the assist
ance of Doyle in the case is most mate
rial.
There was great difficulty experienced
in securing jury. Four lists of jurors
were sent out and no less than 1O4 men
were examined before a jury could be
secured.
The weather on Kauai has been very
bad the last week or so. There has been
a general downpour of rain.

DOLE ON EVIDENCE

Judge Dole this morninf rendered an
important decision on the question of
the right of the United States Marshal
and District Attorney to make seizures
of evidence and use the evidence in
court when it is the property of a de-
PENDANT. The question was raised by
J. W. Cathcart in the case of Miya-
mura, found guilty of peonage At
the time of his arrest documents and
other evidence against him were seized
in his home by United States Marshal
Hendry, on Breckons' advice. Cathcart
objected to their being introduced in
evidence, on the ground that the pro-
secution could not use evidence unlaw-
fully seized and that the defendant
could not be forced to produce evidence
against himself. The court overruled
the motion for a new trial on this
ground, as well as on objections to
the instructions. The decision says:
The document offered in evidence in
this case was a bill of sale of a wo-
man, a document unlawful in itself.
1t was taken from the possession of the
defendant and there was evidence tend
ing to show that it was used by him in
carrying out the criminal purpose of
holding the woman mentioned in a
state of peonage. The articles offered
in evidence although shown by the
evidence to be used by the woman in
carrying out her unlawful occupation
under the influence of defendant, may
be said to have been constructively in
the possession of the defendant. This
81 ,, f,g, {e-
in the lawful possession and use of a
party arrested and that which is in his
possession unlawfully, or being in his
possession is unlawfully used by him
to carry out his criminal design, is
fully recognized by the authorities on
this subject. Wharton's Criminal
Pleadings and Practice, Sec. 60, says:
Those arresting a defendant are
bound to take from his person any ar
ticle which may be of use as proof in
the trial of the offense with which the
defendant is charged"
The court quotes authorities on the
subject of seizures, going into an Eng
lish case of the year 1862, and says
by these cases the law appears to
be settled on this point, to the effect
erty, by process of the court, to be
used as evidence against the party in
a criminal case in whose possession
they are, would be unreasonable and
inconsistent with the fourth and fifth
to the Constitution, and
papers and property so obtained may
not be admitted as evidence in such
cases; but in those cases in which il
legal seizures are made of papers or
property in the possession of a party
in a criminal case to be used against
him outside of the process of the court
the court will not consider the illegality
Of the seizure but will admit the pa
oers or property so seized, if competent
and pertinent as evidence, and the
party from whom the goods are taken
viii be left to his legal remedies in |
respass or otherwise"

MORE DAVIS CASE

United States Judge Dole this morn
ing rendered a supplement to the deci-
sion in the disbarment case of George
A. Davis correcting some matters in
the record. The court gives the fol-
lowing explanatory introduction of the
corrections which are upon matters of
record in the various other hearings
had:
owing to the complicated nature of
this case, and the mass of records of
cases in the Supreme and Circuit courts
of the Republic of Hawaii and the
Territory Of Hawaii, admitted as evil
dence errors and omissions have been
made in the decision thereof referring
to such evidence, which should be cor
rected as a matter of record, but which
do not appear to require modification
of the conclusions of such decision"

Enlightenment and gambling were
subjects very much discussed in Judge
De Bolts charge to the April term
Grand Jury this morning. The court
told the jurors that it did not matter
whether a case of embezzlement was in
public office or private employment, as
far as he criminal law was concerned.
The charge was in part as follows:
"Undar our Territorial form of gov
iernmer. the Grand Jury system is es-
Sentially part thereon, and whatever
our views individually or otherwise,
may be of it's merits or utility the insti-
tuition Is now indispensable so far as the
people of this Territory are concerned.
The Grand Jury system comes down to
us through a long period of time, and
its origin is lost in the obscurity and
darkness of the middle ages of Eng
land 1t has been evolved out of the
varying exigencies and demands of sue
cessLve ages of an energetic and pro-
gressive people; and it's adoption and
growth, as we'll as its retention, as
part of our governmental system, is
upon the theory that it is shield
guarding the rights of the citizens and
saving him from undue oppression and
political power. Though sometimes the
powers of the Grand Jury have been
wrongly used, they have more frequent
ly been a shield to those unjustly ac-
cused either by private malevolence or
political intrigue. And it is the sworn
duty of Judges and Jurors to accept
and deal, cOnscientiously and impartial
ly with the law as it may be found to
exist.
owing to the ability and zeal with
which the Attorney Generals Depart
ment is conducted, have not thought
it necessary to particularly inform my
self as to the facts of any supposed
specific violation of law with a view of
especially calling your attention there
to.
"The Attorney General, or his deputy,
will in due time and manner lay all
these matters before you. But l deem
n appropriate, however, to officially
bring to your attention at this time, in
a general way, the prevalence Of en-
bezzlement in this community by pub
lie officials, clerks and employees. This |
observation is equally applicable to |
those who are employed by private par !
ties. Viewing this matter in the light /,

MAUI WANTS. COURT

Circuit Judge Kalua of Maui was up
against a jury difficulty which may be
partly responsible for his sudden de-
termination to quit business and post
poned all cases until after his COM
mission as Judge expires, June 5. Ow-
ing to wrong way of handling the
jury lists the court hadn't enough jury
men to proceed, so that it is possible
that cases might have had to go over
anyhow.
Judge Kalua followed the plan of
eXcusing permanently Jurors who fail
ed to qualify in a case, instead of ex-
cusing them from that case only and
putting their names back into the jury
box, as is done here. Under this sys-
tenn Maui's list of $50 men for the year
was rapidly giving out.
Attorneys who are interested in Maui
cases are now making efforts to devise
a plan for getting a court. Maui is
without any courts but those of the
district courts, and it is desired to
hasten the appointment. d. H. Case,
who is one Of the attorneys whom Ka-
lua threatened with contempt proceed
ings for objecting to the postponement
on the ground that 1t was an abuse OF
discretion, came to Honolulu on the
Claudine, and says that the attorneys
want to have a judge at least by June
6.

commission issued in advance" he said !
