VIEWS OF A
LEADING CITIZEN

"I have had conversations today with
a number of leading members of the
bar" said w. r. Castle yesterday,
'and the impression seems to be that
IL is possible to get over the financial
difficulty engendered by the county act
decision, by the operation of the Or
garic Act, which makes provision in
cases of failure of the legislature to
appropriate, the appropriations of the
last preceding legislature can be used.
The six months bill passed by the
present legislature would be a guide in
this way. The passage of the eighteen
months bill is taken as an indication
means for carrying on the government.
1.-THE gravest danger in my opinion is
with the criminal law. Suppose the
Supervisors appeal TO the Supreme
Court at Washington and in the mean
time the county officers continue in
control. Tie police make arrests. and
the courts try and convict them and
they would be condemned.
Suppose that these condemned men
apply to the Supreme Court for writ
of habeas corpus on the ground that
the county officers had no right to
make arrests, their contention must be
upheld upon today's ruling that the
county act is void, and they would be
released There would be a regular
Jail delivery.
''Take the other side. Suppose there
is no appeal and the Supervisors ac-
uuiesce in the decision, and the Teri-
toIial officers resume their duties.
They make prisoners and they are con-
victed and condemned. Then the con-
yicted man goes to Washington on an
appeal on the constitutional ground
that he has been arrested and convict
ed by some ore not authorized to do
so. Then il the supreme Court holds
the act 10 be valid chaos will result
and there would be another Jail de-
livery. The crun nal side of the law
appeals to me as the serious one and it
may make great deal of trouble.
lone thing is certain-no one wants
another session OF the legislature.
Everyone l have talked with today is
opposed to such a thing"

Joe Finn, the hackdriver who is al
legged to have shot Hugh Rooney last
Saturday night on Union street, gave

tions to him We're to remain quiet.

DR.. sun YET
ON CHINA
A Famous RevoIutionist It
Addresses Research
Club.

AT the regular meeting of the Research
Club held last evening at the residence
OF W. w. Hall, Nuuanu street, the
feature Of the session was an able and
interesting address by DR.. Sun Vat Sen,
the chinese leader of the Revolutionist
party, his subject being Things Chi
nese.' He spoke slowly and with care
and presented very lucid statement OF
conditions in the Chinese Empire.
He opened by saying that the subject
was a large one, that the Empire was
larger than the United States and had
was an absolute monarchy, there being
sponsibl eministry.
The Empire consisted of several
groups OF states, each almost a distinct
empire. There was China proper with
the descendants of the original Chinese
race; second, Manchuria third, Mongo-
liza; and fourth, Thbet. Manchuria was
governed by a Tartar general; Mongo-
liza by Prince OF the country itself;
Thibet by its priesthood at the head of
which is the Lama The Emperor of
China is Manchu of the dynasty which
conquered China in I744, A. ID.
In the Empire there were elSnteen
provinces each governed by viceroy
Each province is divided into districts
at the head of which is a government
official or magistrate. The average
population is million to each district.
There being but one government Off
cial to such large community shows
the government does not extend deep
among the people. This indicates also
that the Chinese live comparatively
free community existence.
All struggles in China have mainly
been dynastic. One village. however,
can make war upon another The speak
er said the weakness of China was the
lack OF centralized control. There was
too much liberty of loose kind to hold
the empire together.
The people of China were essentially
homogeneous: barring the dialects on
the coast they were practically of one
language. While the present govern
ment was feeble and in a dying condi-
ton. it could not maintain control The
partition of China would prove impos-
sble The Chinese would resent it and
European powers would find that it in
volved UNPLEASANT difficulties
