GETTING OUT TIL CAAFF'
COUNTY COMMISSION IS
ELIMINATING DOUBTFUL PARTS
OF OLD LAW TO FURNISH BASIS
FOR ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
WORK At THE LAST
SESSION.

The County Act passed by the last
Legislature, knocked out by the STU
preme Court, was gone through last
evening at the regular meeting. OF the
County Act Commission and many
chapters were voted utterly worthless,
others being considered doubtful. some
Of the wording was deemed indehnite.
Among interesting questions which
came up for discussion was the Terri
tory's jurisdiction OF Laysan and LII
sianski islands, the French trigate
Shoals and other ISLANDS. In the last
act. 1t was shown, Jurisdiction was
made co-extensive with that OF the Fed
eral government.
Chapter rs OF the dead act, mode OF
raising revenue; Chapter ~, income
tax, and Chapter 2S. 20, 80, 81 and 80.
revenue. were stricken out. Chapter
q, stricken out by the Supreme Court.
was considered out OF the bill without
any further action OF the Commission
ers. The general scheme OF the COM
mission is to cut out the doubtful
features of the old act and go ahead
with more detailed discussion.
Chairman Cooper believed 1t would
be policy to cut out Chapter 30, in re
licenses, as the Court had suggested II
to be a doubtful proposition to include
license matters In the County Act. f..
NJ. Watson moved that question under
Title 5, Chapters 80 to 62, inclusive
license matters. be stricken; his mo-
ton carried Chapter 81, Territorial
Ioard Of Public Instruction, was cut
out. Water works matters were left
for future discussion.
| Commissioner Beckley was not de-
termined, be said. whether to advocate
one or two counties for Hawaii; Com
missioner Watson thought two coun.
ties advisable-with one, the county
seat would be too far removed from
some section. With this idea the chair.
man did not agree.
Commissioner T. McCants Stewart
Twas not altogether In favor. at this
time, of the appointment Of commit
ltee of three TO ascertain the number
o. subdivisions for the islands. He
thought all views should be presented
to the Commission as a whole. His
objection prevailed.
| Watson could not see, he said, how
the county law could confer jurisdic-
ton where Federal jurisdiction was
admitted-this was in reference to the
chapter concerning boundaries. Wat
son objected to the Board OF Health
having Jurisdiction over the general
government of the leper settlement or
l"County OF Kalawao." Commissioners
Cooper and Stewart thought It q
doubtful matter to touch Clerk J. d.
Avery will, at the meeting next Tues
day. furnish statistics in regard to the
population Of the various districts. as
sessed valuations, and so forth.
Commissioner Stewart reported that
the Acting Governor had consented to
provide the Commission with station
cry needed. also that Chief Justice
Frear had cordially offered to allow
the commission the benefit Of the work
OF the Code Commission and supply
any chapter OF the codification needed
to facilitate the work OF the County
workers

And well might the German papers be
prosecuted for publishing a statement
of this kind from the emperor. Such a
step would be highly reasonable. It is
quite apparent that William was not in
his right mind when he said he was
not infaIible. In a sane and sober
moment he would never have been
guilty of 50 great a degree Of self
labasement. The matter is important in
that it shows how far a great mind will

As TO FIRE DRILLS.


4 PROPOS OF THE QUESTION as to
a whether or not fire drills ir the
public schools are Of any value, we pre-
sent the following special dispatch from
Arnold, Pa, 10 the Philadelphia North
American:
Fire drill, as praetlced IN the public
schools, saved SEQ children from a ter
rible panic and death from fire here
This afternoon The school building
caught FIRE in the cellar. Owing to the
recent disaster in Chicago the children
became terrified. Mr.. Jackson, the
principal. had the. teachers form the
classes, the small pupils in the lead, and
sent ore teacher to the piano. To the
inspiration Of a lively march three lines
Of children fled out while the fire was
cracking under their feet and the
smoke filing their eyes and nostrils.
The teachers ard principal were the
last to go. Frantic mothers, who
reached the fire, tried to rush into the
building, but were stopped by the jan
itor. The building was almost de-
st1oyed."
We respectfully commend the above
to the consideration of Mr.. Christ ensen,
superintendent Of the salt Lake City
public schools. Comment seems to be
entirely unnecessary

sHoOkLEY's CONFESSION.

'ONSCIENCE made a coward Of John
- Mcpherson Shockley, as conscience
has made towards of many men before
him. To this fact and to this alone is
due ShockIey's confession that he muir
dered AfotOrman Gleason ana Con-
duetor Brighton last Wednesday night.
Evidence that Shoclkley received good
training in his early youth is not want
ing, His story and the manner of its
telling indicate as much. But no power
should be strong enough 20 save him
from the SYNONYMOUS execution he has
so richly earned
It is probably true that Shockley had
no idea OF committing murder when
he set out to rob Brighton. He was
prepared to kill, however, and he did
xiii. Every highwayman is prepared
10 do as much whenever he starts out
OF his criminal way; every one of them
viii shoot down any man who stands
= between him and liberty or the accom-
plishment of his purpose. Therefore
there can be no sympathy for Shock
ley. He cannot be hurried TO trial and
execution too quickly If the people Of
this community are to be impressed
with the majesty and the dignity Of
the law.
Sentimental citizens may say that
seme consideration should be shown
Shockley because he proposes to give
to the families OF his victims an al
legged Inheritance he Is to receive at
scme indefinite future time. To those
who 50 believe we desire to say that
SiaeclIey's inheritance is not suf-
deient recompense for two lives; it viii
not tighten the gloom that hovers
biaclxly over two widows, two families
= of orphaned children. The law says
that murderers must die. We can make
no exception in favor Of Shockley.
The general public viii derive i'm
mense satisfaction from the capture of
Shockley, accompanied. as it is. with
the certainty that he is the right man.
The police had not q shred Of evidence,
worthy Of the name, against him. In
al I.r9haSziity he could not have been
held TO the district court to answer
10 the charge of murder. It is stating
an incontrovertible fact to say that If
shockley had not confessed he would.

punishment
The announcement is made that all

and conviction of the man who muir
dered Gleason and Brighton viii go to
the families Of the victims. There is
no question but that PrOtherO. the IN
former, who is 20 set the 500, would
have been entitled TO every dollar of
the reward. The assignment by Chief
of Police Lynch and other officers Of

reward simply makes 1t certain that

Don't YOU remember him? Don't you
remember Don valeriaro weyler. Mar
quis Of TeuRriffe, the man who ruled
cuba with an iron hand, the man who
was largely responsible for the exist
ence of the Republic Of Cuba? Really
we never expected to hear from Weyler
again. Perhaps the reason nobody has
heard from him is that he has been
in retirement writing a book. The title
Of the volume, which has not yet been
given to the public, is enough to arouse
instant interest and curiosity. It IS
called NY Military and Political Cam

least two chapters which viii greatly
interest the people of the United
States. One of them is on My Project

Project" 10 newspaper man has yet
been permitted to perUse these chap
ters. Consequently the world does not
know how Weyier wouid have landed
on American soil We have a right to
offer conjsctures. bat for the real truth
we must wait for the book.
There are several ways in which Wey-
Ter might have landed. He might have
constructed a great gun in Havana and
had himself shot across The bounding
waves. He might have come over in
a balloon. He snight even have dis
gUlsed himself and come along in an
ordinary passenger steamer. But why
was he compelled TO forego the pleas
ure? There's the interesting point
Was he afraid he might land in pieces
at the end Of either his gun OF balloon
journey? was he afraid he might be
spotted through his disguise If he came
/ by steamer?
At any rate, we may be sure Of one
thing. If Weyler had not been obliged
TO abandon his project he would not
