GRAND JURY REPORT.
MAUI, March 19.-The Maui grand |
jury in it's report to Judge Kalua scor-
ed a number of alleged Irregularities in |
the police department. 1t charges that |
policemen on duty have been found in |
that they accept free drinks, |
and further that when detailed to do |
detective work warn those whom they |
are told to detect. The jury also con- |
lemned the practice of carrying names |
on the rolls of persons not connected |
with the service, in order to meet ex-
penses not provided for by the legis- |
lature.
The jury aso finds the Wailuku Jail |
unsafe and insanitary. Care and dis |
cipline of prisoners is alleged to be lax |
and it is found that prisoners are al |
lowed to roam at will on Sundays. The |
private use of prison labor is condemn |
ed. The cost of feeding prisoners is |
also said to be too high.
In conclusion the jury finds that the |
executive department of the public ser |
vice appears to have been carried on |
with absolute honesty financially; but |
that discipline and loyalty in the sub |
ordinates and executive force in the |
superior office are lacking, and we can |
not too strongly urge the proper Off |
Gals to take action to carry on the |
honestly and fearlessly, not |
only financially but in all of its
branches and thus gain for the exec |
utive department of the public service |
the proper respect and confidence from
the public.
The fish market is also condemned |
and it is charged that the Maui Hotel
bar-room is open on Sundays.
During the trial of criminal cases an
attack was made on the legality of the
of w. T. Rawlins as dep
uty attorney general, it being alleged
that Noah Alul holds that office. The
motion to quash indictments on that
ground was overruled by Judge Kalua. |
