IN RUSSIA
AMONG OFFICIALS
50 UNIVERSAL THAT NOTHING
IS IN FACT AS IT Is PRESENTED.

The great trouble with the Russian
army and navy is that there is so much
corruption and peculation, that they
get only a part of the arms, ammuni-
tons, supplies and appurtenances pro-
vided and paid for" says William Dix,
who lived among the Russians for sew
enteen years, knows the language and
has acted as interpreter several times
i'm Honolulu, when Russian warsnips
have been in this harbor
What the army and navy are on
paper, and what they are in fact are
two altogether different things The
War Bureau may direct the purchase OF
certain quantities of munitions of war
Of certain quality. But before these
munitions reach their destination, so
much of the money has gone into the
pockets of peculating officials, that
either the quantity is snort or the quail
ity in inferior. Anyway nothing is as
the records show it ought to be. 1t
makes no difference whether it is coal,
or armOr plate, or ammunition, or arms,
blankets or clothing, horses or arms, it
Is the same thing. There is always a
shortage either in quantity or quality,
usually both. Knowing this, it is not
surprising that we hear reports that
Port Arthur supposed to be provision
ed for two or three years is already
short of food; or that her defenses and
those of VladivostOk are not up to what
they have been represented to be; or
that the Siberian railroad is poor in
construction and badly managed. The
same conditions are responsible for
what seems to be the fact that Russia
has not nearly the number of men in
.the Far East that it was supposed she
had"
Mr.. Dix went to Alaska in 1866, more
than a year before the purchase of Mat
territory by Secretary Seward for the
United States. He lived in the Russian
capital of that region where no langu-
age was spoken except Russian. Many
of the officers on duty there were men
of attachments, and some of them of
distinction, who had been in effect ex-
lied there because of some faux pas, or
some social error, which did not, ac-
cording to Russian standards, debar
them from the service, but merely from
service in European Russia. One OF
these was a physician who had once
been the household physician of the

trusted with the care of the public
money of that office. There was no
such person named by the law to
care for the money and no such per-
son charged by law with the safe keep
ing of the money as the superintendent
himself alone was charged with the
safe keeping of the money that was re-
ceived by the water works depart
ment. The Supreme court of the Unit
ed States had held in the case of the
United States VS.. Smith clerk for
one of the collectors, that any clerk
who had not been charged by Congress
with the safe keeping and care of any
public money could not be convicted
of embezzlement.
In the present case, so the attorney
argued there could be no regulation
charging the chief clerk with the GUS
tody of the money, as the legislature
had charged the superintendent of the
water works with this responsibility.
In order for a charge to lie against
the defendant it must be shown that
he was charged by law with the GUS
tody of money but in the present in
stance the law was entirely to the
contrary.
In reply High Sheriff Brown contend
ed that the regulation was proper. 1t
was regulation of the office. 1t was
not contended that the defendant hav-
ing the custody of the money of the Of
flee was a proposition of law but the
defendant as chief clerk, was charged
by the office regulation with the con-
troll and care OF that money The at
torney for the prosecution contended
that the charge followed the wording
of the statutes.
Mr. Wilder raised the point that a
regulation can not be contrary to the
law; that it could not be higher than
it's source. In support of his point he
quoted one of the Ohio decisions. The
High Sheriff contended that the law
governing the care of the office did
not directly charge the superintendent
of water works with the care of the
money. The demurrer was overruled
and then the hearing of evidence was
begun.
Andrew Brown was the first witness
for the prosecution. He testified that
the custom of the office ever since he
had been in charge of the place and
in fact by his predecessors so he had
understood had been that the chief
clerk was entrusted with the custody
of the money collected. The chief
clerk and assistant clerk had the COM
bination of the safe in which the pub
lie money was kept. The witness
stated that he had some days ago
called the defendant, Richardson, into
his Office and asked what he, Richard
son, had meant by going to the Office
of the water works at night and taking
money from the safe. Richardson had
stated that he had on one night taken
800 from the safe but had paid it
back the next morning. Mr.. Brown
testified that the chief clerk collected
all the money for the office.
On cross examina ton the witness
stated that the defendant had a private
box in the safe. The witness stated
that he had not instructed the defend
ant that the conversation might be in
the naure of a confession and might
be used against him in court.

RICHARDSON HELD
TO THE GRAND JURY
Continued from Page -


charge of having embezzled on Feb
ruary II, 1904, 500 of public money
while chief clerk of the the water works
department was read. The defendant
was charged with a violation of Act 60
Of the Penal Laws of 1903 which reads
as follows Section 1 That any officer
or other person who, by any law reg
ulation or appointment, now or shall
hereafter be charged with the safe
keeping, transfer or disbursement of
any money, note or other effects or
property belonging to the Territory of
Hawaii shall convert the same to his
own use or benefit, or to the use and
benefit of another, than the owner or
persons entitled thereto; or shall loan,
with or without interest, or shall de-
post in his own name, or otherwise
than in the name of the Territory OF
Hawaii, or shall deposit in banks or
with any person or persons, or change
for other funds or property, any money
or moneys intrusted to his safe keeping
transfer or disbursement, except in
the manner prescribed by law, regu-
lation or appointment shall be deem
ed guilty of embezzlement, and any
such officer or person, upon conVlctlon
thereof, shall be punished at hard la
Dor for a period not to exceed ten
years, or by fine not exceeding five
times the value of the thing or prop
erty embezzled, etc"
Mr.. Wilder entered a demurrer to
the complaint naming two grounds.
The first ground was that the facts
were not sufficient to show that the
alleged embezzlement had been COM
mitted and secondly that there was no
such person as the chief clerk of the
water works who was charged by law
with the care and custody of any
moneys.
In arguing this demurrer the at
torney cOntended that there was no
law, appointment or regulation where

Chinese.
Cultivated China takes a view of cur
rent incidents which Is very persuasive
to persons who are tempted to apply
moral standards to international af-
fairs. The doctrine of Confucius in
cludes reliance upon justice rather than
upon force, and China is deeply imbued
with the doctrine OF Confucius. When
the western powers began to worry her,
her mandarins, or men Of scholarship,
began to study international law They
found in 1t no justification for much
that had happened. Germany sent mis-
sionaries, who bought land, sold by the
individual without the consent of the
clan, which in Chinese law is precisely
equivalent to our law in reference to
the sale of stolen goods. The Germans
refused to accept the law Of the coun-
try, and insisted upon retaining their
stolen goods. Then came murder and
