TOEPELMANN CASE
BEING INVESTIGATED
HIGH SHERIFF ORDERED CARE
Full INQUIRY MADE INTO CIR
CUMSTANCES OF ARREST.

High Sheriff Henry has ordered a
careful examination into the circum-
stances attending the arrest and incar-
ceration of T. Toepelmann, the chemist
of the Pacific Fertilizer Works night
before last. Statements of an of the
officers are being taken.
According to other information Civ
en- the authorities, Toepelmann appears
to have been drinking quite freely Oh
Wednesday night before he started
home. The High Sheriff is inclined to
the opinion that Toepelmann nigh.
have fallen down from the sidewalk on
King street just Eva of Liliha street.
There is a steep step from the side
walk down into the roadway. Toepel-
mann was found at that place. The
authorities are not inclined to the opin-
ion that Toepelmann was attacked by
anybody Others are certain however
that the wound that evidently caused
the injury to Toepelmann was inflicted
by a sand bag.
At the Queens Hospital where Toe
pelmann was sent yesterday, it was
stated that the injured man had i'm
proved somewhat this morning. He
was regaining consciousness. The
chances of his recovery seemed to be
better this morning.

PORTO RICANS
KEKAHA KICK
INVESTIGATION DOES NOT BEAR
OUT THE COMPLAINT SENT To-
CARTER.

Reports have been returned to Gov
ernor Carter by District Magistrate
Hofgaard of Kekaha and H. p. Faye
Manager of the Kekaha plantation on
the complaint which was recently ad-
dressed to the Executive by Jose RAJ
mon Vendrell. relative to the bad con-
dition of Porto Ricans at Kekaha.
The reports agree that Vendrell is a
professional mischief maker who does
no work himself but travels about liv-
ing ON his cOuntrymen. Each of the
seven Porto Ricans who signed the
letter to the Governor was looked up
and the reports on those located is not
fiattering. One is not right i'm his
mind, others make no attempt to do
any work either through old age or
physical weakness and another is a
gambler who is also a Jail bird. 1t is
stated that there was no trouble among
the Porto Ricans who wanted to worn
until Judge Hofgaard visited the plan
tation. They apparently did not un-
derstand the object of his mission for
they have since gone on strike saying
that they are Americans and have the
support of Governor Carter, They
have been told that no one will force
them to work at Kekaha but that if
they will not work they will have to
get out.

HIGH SHERIFF WANTS
A WHIPPING POST
STRONGLY IN FAVOR OF MAKING
EXAMPLES OF MEN WHO ARE
GUILTY OF IMPROPER CONDUCT

The police yesterday arrested num-
Der of Chinese men on suspicion of
having INDUCED in immoral practices
with three young Chinese girls" said
High Sheriff Henry today Whatever
the merits of these cases may be, will
be determined by the court as they are
to be prosecuted. l am satisfied that
there has been and still is a great deal
Of this conduct practiced and it is the
intention of the police to break it up
and punish the offenders.
There have been rumors for a long
time that the Chinese have had an es-
pecially bad effect on young native girls
/ have no doubt that there is a great
deal of truth i'm such report but, I'M
fortunately, it is difficult for the police
to secure evidence of such crimes. 1t
would be an excellent idea if the
parents of the children were to make
an example of the offenders. If some
of the offenders were given heavy SEN
fences it would go long way toward
putting a stop to such conduct. There
really ought to be whipping post for
such fellows, where they could be pun
ished i'm way that they would not be
apt to forget.
The curfew law is to be enforced
strictly. II is high time that our
youth were kept off the streets late at
night They should be at home in
bed, instead of roaming about the city.
1t is bound to have bad effect on a
boy being allowed to roam at will at
night"
The High Sheriff was asked if the en-
foreement Of the Sunday law would ne
eessitate the laundries shutting down
work in case OF mail steamers arriving
i'm port on that day. The High Sheriff
said that as the dispatch of mail steam
ers was regarded as a work of neces-
sity the work Of preparing the ships
laundry would also come under that
head and an exception would be made
I'm such cases.
