SAY They HEED MORE POWER
ASKS FOB EEW LEGISLATION.
Needs Law Conferrins Power over Rates
and Making Orders e the Commis-
sion EHective-InvestiEati
Limit OF Their Power.


The question of regulation of inter
state eommerce by federal authority
is the most important legislation before
congress. That the interstate com
merce commission be given more power
has been urged by the president, and
by the great common interests Of the
country. A Washington dispatch, dat
ed December 10, says:
The annual report Of the interstate
commerce commission was transmitted
to congress today. Reference is again
made 10 the two principal objects Of the
act to regulate commerce, the publica-
ton and observance Of tariff rates, and
the correction of tariff rates. The com
mission says in substance that success
ful regulation of rates depends upon
the effective operation of both branches
Of regulation.
The commission calls attention to the
fact that there has been no amendatory
legislation cOnferring power over this
rate and making the orders of the com
mission effective. In the present state
Of the law after careful and often ex-
tended investigation, the commission
may find a rate complained against TO
be unreasonable and order the carrier
70 desist from charging that rate for
the future, but they cannot, though the
evidence may, and usually does, indi-
cate It, find and order the reasonable
rate to be substituted for that which
has been found to be unlawful.

This great revolving world has again
brought to rs the anniversary Of the
birth OF Jesus, whose nativity was hum
bIs IN the extreme, whose life is themar-
vel Of the ages, whose death was one Of
deep humiliation and torture, whose res
direction was unspeakably glorious and

Of Jubilee, It's coronation Of manhood

into the citadel Of faith in a trancendant
aud unspeakable immortality.
Jesus was Of double royal lineage,
bis decent being traced through both
Joseph and Mary from King David He
was heir by perfect title to an earthly
ksngship, although the brutal Herod
had usurped the septer, the throne and
the palace. Thisis one Of the most apt
Illustrations of the striking truthfulness

Wrong. forever on the throne;
Yet that scafold sways the future,

The kingship Of Jesus IS both world

She brought message from the Presi-
dent of the United States, thanking
him for his services and rendering him
All invitation to visit the Republic.
With the message came beautifully
made boat and gold watch and chain,
with other tokens, aggregating the
value of $500. These, President Lin
coin begged Kekela to accept as an
acknowledgment of what he had done.
The boat is now worn out long since,
but the old man still fondly wears the
watch and chain. He remained many
years among the Marquesans, and
came away only when he was compelled
to for the sake of his health.
Many years have passed and now Ke-
kela, over four score years old, has
spent a night in a police cell. He did
not sleep much last night but pro-
tested that it was a shame that his
relatives should lock an old man like
him in Jail. During the night he had
pains in one of his legs and a native
boy occupying the same cell greatly de-
lighted him by lomilomi work on the
painful member.
Kekela's sanity will be inquired into
today.

KEKELA IN THE
INSANE ASYLUM

Rev. James kekela, the aged Hawaiian.
who was rewarded by President Lincoln
for saving the life of an American
whaler, was yesterday committed to the
Oahu Insane Asylum by Judge Lindsay
on certificate from DR.. ]. T. Nc
Donald showing that the old missionary
is insane. But former friends and ad-
mrers OF Kekela will see to it that his
life at the asylum is made pleasant. 1t
was stated yesterday that S. NJ. Damon
would build cottage on the asylum
grounds for the old gentleman to oc-,
cupy.
J. w. Smithies, Kekela's son-in-law,
in his application to have him commit
ted to the asylum, stated that the old
man had habit of getting up in the
night and threatening to kill his rela-
tives. He talked to himself and was.
sleepless About three years ago for
the same complaint he had been confined
IN the Oahu Prison Hospital for week.
DR.. McDonald's certificate stated that
the old man made homicidal threats. was
at times violent, at other times refused
to talk, and did not sleep either during
the day or night. He imagined that he
could see and talk with the spirit of his
wife, DIR. Mcdonald gave the cause of
insanity as exhaustion OF mental pow
ers."
The aged clergyman was taken to the
asylum last night.

| jurisdiction of the court was invoked
| In disposing of it the court not only
declared the law of the case but also
found the facts to which the law was
applied-thus exercising the functions
of both court and jury.
One Of the charges found established
against the respondent was blackmai-
ing the oahu Railway & Land Com
pany out of five thousand dollars. Mr..
Dillingham;. who acted for the COM
pany in the transaction, is the father
in-law of the Chief Justice and the
Chief Justice is also a stockholder and
the trustee for the bondholtlers of the
Oahu Railway & Land Company.
Could the Chief Justice approach the
consideration of this case with the
same impartial and unbiased mind that
he would had the respondent been
charged with blackmailing some other
person or corporation with whom he
was not so closely connected?
Mr. Justice Perry has heretofore pun
ished the respondent at three several
times for contempt of court-one SEN
tence being for term Of ten days in
Jail. Could Judge Perry at the hear
ing Of these charges give to the de-
fendant the full force and effect Of the
presumption of Innocence that the law
requires until his guilt was established
by competent evidence? Certainly
jurors similarly situated when drawn
in trial would be subject to a chal-
lenge for cause. The denying of such
a challenge under such circumstances
would be safe grounds for new trial.
THE CONTRACT.
Quoting the contract already men,
toned, Justice Galbraith says:
This contract, possibly, would not
have established respondents innocence
of the charges against him if it had
been produced and given in evidence at
the hearing. But it does tend to dis
prove one of the charges found against
him, namely that he did Impede, him
der and delay settlement of suit
that his client was willing to make"
without right so to do. 1t further
tends to prove that the other attorneys
who signed this contract with respond
ent We're guilty of gross abuse of the
process of the courts in making a
contract for fees for one-thrd of the
amount that might be recovered in an
injunction suit and one to declare a
man non compos, when the legitimate
object of neither suit was to recover
money, nor could suit have resulted in
a money judgment if prosecuted in
good faith to final judgment.
This contract certainly tends to DEM
onstrate one further fact, namely, that
the court has not done full and COM
plete justice in this case, although the
respondent may be guilty as found
and also that full and complete justice
will not be done in this case by dis
barring the respondent and permitting
the two attorneys associated with him
in the enterprise to go unscathed. The
court ought to re-eXamine the charges
in the light of this new evidence in
order to make sure that no innocent
man is punished and that no guilty
man escapes

fun of the thing, out of pure wan
tonness of power.
There have been Unwise strikes, of
course. and strikes on insufficient
grounds, but a labor leader who is
worth anything will hesitate long be-
fore taking a step with possibilities
sc disastrous. The causeless, sense
less strikes are for the most part the
work of hotheads who do not really
represent the labor men. The strike
is generally recognized, in these days,
as a weapon of war, to be employed
only in case of irreconcilable antagon-
ism. The strike, and the fear of the
strike. have already accomplished
many reforms; concessions have been
made which would not have been
dreamed of by employers had they
not been forced to see the danger OF
disregarding the requests of their
men. But the actual calling out Of
any large body of men for any great
length of time is truly, as Mr.. Pow
derby says, the most wasteful, disas-
trous, and dangerous of methods for
gaining an end.
