MEHEULA TO
STAND TRIAL
Judged Dole Finds { Charge
Within Federal
Statutes.

Judge Dole, after exhaustive hear
ings, yesterday rendered decision
overruling. on both points, the de-
murrer to indictment of Solomon Mehe-
ula. Clerk of the House of Representa-
tives, as an Officer" for destroying
public documents.
r. w. Breckons, District Attorney.
appeared for the United States, and C.
w. Ashford for the defendant. The de-
murrer was based on the grounds a.,
that 1t did not appear in the indictment
that the defendant was an officer of
the United States, or an officer at all
within the intent of the statute under
which 1t was brought; and (2), that
1t did not appear that the vouchers. of
House expenditures mentioned in the
indictment were such documents or
papers as were contemplated in the
statutes in question or any other stat
ute of the United States.
The decision says the case turns
mainly upon the construction of the
word officer in Sec. 540S of the Revis-
ed Statutes. docs 1t mean an officer
of the United States, as created by
law under the specific enactments of
the Constitution, under which the Pres
ident appoints, with the advice and
consent of the Senate, certain officers.
and Congress may vest the appoint
ment of other officers in the Presi-
dent, courts of law and heads of de-
partments; or is it used in more pop
ular sense in which it may include Off
GERS not appointed as above provded?"
Judge Dole, after showing the alb
solute sovereignty of Congress over
territories of the United States and cit
ing the related statutes, answers the
question just quoted with the follow
ing conclusions:
This court has no authority to lin
1t the application of this statute where
1t is not limited by it's own language
or by contemporary law. The defend
ant was an officer of the territorial
government; his office was created by.
Congress, and he had duties to perform
which Congress had required from him
as such officer. His duties appertained
to matters which related to the Fed
eral Government which had the re-
sponsibility of the Government of the
Territory-the proper enactment of leg

TOURISTS DON'T CONE.

The Advertiser hears 1t denied at
Promotion headquarters that there
are fewer tourists in town than
is usual at this time of year. 1t Is
argued that the hotels have more
guests than they had a twelvemonth
ago. hence there must be more stran-
gers present. But this argument does
not take account of the fact that since
the Alexander Young hotel was built
and the menus of all the hotels i'm
proved, many city residents have ex-
changed housekeeping for hotel board
ing and must thus be subtracted from
the grand totals of tourists so conf
IDENTIFY shown.
The way to get accurate data about
tourists is easy enough. Hotel keep
ers can segregate the two classes OF
patrons and we feel at liberty to doubt
that they will find much tourist en-
couragement when they do. They say
they won't. Then there Is the steam
ship data. For off-hand comparison
we take the passenger lists of the last
two steamers from the coast-the ST.
IBERIA and Alameda-and contrast them
with the rosters of the last two steam
ers arriving in port up to one year ago
today. Here are the figures:
1893 Passengers for Honolulu.
1gO4-79 Passengers for Honolulu.
Thus we have a concrete illustration
of the fact which attracted the atten-
ton of Captain Houdlette of the Sierra
and led Mr.. Macfarlane to write his
letter of inquiry to tourist agent at
Los Angeles. And yet Hawaii has,
for the first time, piled thousands upon
thousands to pay for tourist advertis-
ing beginning last August and contin-
uing until now when the tourist season
Is half over.
1t is Just as Mr.. Macfarlane says
THERE is SOME OBSTRUCTION IN
THE WAY. What is it?
The Advertiser has pointed out one
obstruction, namely. the nature of our
tourist advertising-in the invitation
given the frost-bitten northerners to
come here and see more snow. But 1t
believes that even this disadvantage
would be overcome If the ocean steam
ship companies could be got to put
down rates to level with those which
are given competing resorts. Four
fine twin screw steamers carry people
from Boston to Jamaica and return
for SIS. Limited trains take people
from San Francisco to the City of
Mexico and return for 800. The steam
ship companies want s135 to carry
tourist from San Francisco to Honolulu
and back. 1t is easy to imagine what
the tourist says to such proposition.
He goes anywhere but to Honolulu.
To get tourists we must make the
facilities of coming here as cheap as
they are to places with just as good
winter attractions as our own.
