kauai GRAND Jury

The Grand Jury of the Fifth Circuit
Court, Kauai, has made a final report
to Judge Hardy, returning six indIct~
ments, and severely condemnng the
Deputy Sheriff of Kappa for allowing
violations of the liquor laws. The re-
port says:
In accordance with the suggestion of
the Court the Grand Jury took under
consideration such matters appertain-
ing to violations of the law within
Island as came within their personal
knowledge, and in the course of the ex-
animation of witnesses in the case of
Territory of Hawaii V. Andrew Safran-
sky, found that serious violations of the
law had apparently taken place in the
district of Hawaiian and that a GER
tain saloon licensed to SELF light wines,
beers and ales within that district, did
not live up to the rules prescribed by
the authorities of the Territory or By
the Penal Statutes; that it appears
from the evidence submitted to this
Grand Jury that persons have been aC-
custOmed to congregate in the said sa-
loon at Kappa in the District Of Ka-
y y
in violation of the license to them Civ
en-, and that in every respect said BUSH
ness is conducted on Sundays as it
would be conducted on week days, with
the possible exception that the front
door is closed. The members of this
Grand Jury feel that It is their duty to
severely condemn and censure the pub
lie officials who permit such a state Of
affairs to exist, and desire to recon-
mend that unless a different DISPOSE
ton can be shown by the police of that
district, namely, the deputy sheriff of
the district of Hawaiian, in regard to
the violations of the law in this respect,
that another deputy be secured who
will be a man that can be relied upon
to be faithful to his trust.
inspection of Jail That the Grand
Jurors inspected the jail at Lihue in
company with Sheriff Coney, and made
thorough examination of the prem
lses. That 1t appears from such eX-
animation that said premises are clean
ly and in as good condition as could be
expected considering the limited appro-
priation allowed for improvements.
That there is no question but what Inn
provementsare badly needed in the
Jail, and that the wood of which the
jail is made, in some places, has be-
come rotten, that the wooden wall sur
rounding the same has become weaken
ed and partially broken down, and
that the members of this Grand Jury
feel that in order that prisoners should
be securely kept within the enclosure OF
said Jail that substantial improvements
should be made thereon but desire TO

KAHAULELIO
DIDN'T KNOW

District Magistrate Kahaulelio Of La
haina testified this morning before
United States Commissioner Judd that
he didn't know when he married Mat
sutaro and Maka that the latter already
bad wife. The twice married woman
and her second choice for a partner
were before the commissioner and were
committed to await the action of the
next Grand Jury.
This is the case i'm which Kahaulelio
made his ruling that marriages i'm for
eign countries were not according to
the laws of Hawaii. The ruling, how
ever, was made after the wedding, it is
stated The judge stated that it was
not until after he had performed the
ceremony that he learned of Maka' s
marriage in Japan and began to con-
slider the law on the subject.
The woman Maka was called as d
witness and admitted that she had been
married and that her real husband was
here.

lent as it may be, would be an abso-
lutte waste of money.
But we can take advantage of the
st. Louis fair and other circumstances
to advertise to some benefit, and at
small cost.
Send the band.
1t is probable that if properly man
aged, the band could give a tour
through the states, including a stay at
st. Louis, which would yield a profit
to the manager. With very ordinary
management, it ought to pay expenses.
If instead of trying to raise Sl5, 900 to
blow in on useless exhibit, and some
one to go with it to have a good time
at the merchants expenses, a moderate
sum were raised to pay preliminary ex-
penses, and as a guarantee fund, anu
the band were sent, ten thousand times
as many people would hear of Hawaii
by means of it as would hear of Ha-
wall thought the proposed exhibit and
the tout sent along with It, and the
Islands would receive much more bene-
fit and at little cost.
We don't even need to object to the
Hawaiian Village and the Hula, as we
one might because we have the anti
dote now. The Promotion Committee
has the literature and the machinery
for distribution to give right ideas of
Hawaii. You can't present our beau
ties or advantages to anyone who has
never heard of Hawaii or doesn't care
anything about 1t when he does hear
q 1t. But If you can attract attention
with the hula and then arouse interest
with your literature, even the hula has
served a good purpose.
But l don't advocate sending the
hula. do advocate sending the band.
That is Hawaiian. 1t is genuine. We
are not ashamed of it. 1t will attract
attention.
Don't waste money on an exhibit that
no one viii see; that no one win be in
terested in If they do see II, and that
won't do us any good. Let the mer-
chants draw the line on "grafters" and
dead ones" Send a living exhibit.

BOND FOR $4,000
NOT LARGE ENOUGH

Judge De Bolt this morning granted
motion to require c. j. Hutchins,
trustee of the Kona Sugar Company, to
file a bond within five days, for twice
the amount of the judgment in the suit
of w. w. Bierce and Company of Chi
cago against Hutchins as trustee. The
judgment was for $4,000 or the re-
covery of the Kona railway, sold to
Kona by the Bierce Company.
The bond already on file is for $4,000
and is signed by A. B. Wood and Henry
WaterhOuse as sureties, but the plain
tiffs filed affidavits stating that the
security was insufficient. Affidavits
of Attorney r. B. Mechanism and ].
f. COlburn were fled in which the OBJ
jections to the securities were set
forth. 1t was alleged that there are
serious legal obstacles in the way of
proceedings against Waterhouse under
thebond and that Wood has disposed
of so much of his property in the Ha-
waiian Islands that he is no longer com
petent to qualify on a bond for the sum
required, also that Hutchins is unable
to respond for such a sum. The afi-
davits also stated that Hutchins can
not redeliver the railroad property as
the Kapiolani estate and Bishop and
Company have rights under which they
would interfere. The former has al
ready done so.
J. w. Cathcart filed an affidavit stat
ing that an appeal had been taken. on
ground believed to be meritorious, from
the Judgment for $4,000, also that he
believed that Hutchins was competent
TO respond to the demands of the judg-
ment If necessary. The court, how
ever, granted the motion for a bond
double the judgment, according to
statute and give the defendants FIVE
days In which to produce such a bond,
or be subject to an execution

wife and three children was the award
made by Judge De Bolt this morning in
the divorce case of Wing Ryan zap
Ngee V. zap Ngee. The parties to the
suit are Chinese. Mrs. zap Ngee was

was destitute and unable to pay. At
torney ]. P. Ball made motion of ali
mony of $40 per month pendente lite

nOying him and preventing further Pa
cific Heights sales, Booth has refused
to release any more lots says Desky,
and he is notifying possible purchasers
of his intended action, thus stopping
Desky from selling any more lots. The
heights land will only bring $4,000 if
sold all together, Desky says, whereas
real estate experts have told him that
if the lots are offered in subdivisions,
they will bring $125,OOO
Desky asks the court to reform the
mortgage so that it will exclude the
property which was wrongly included
against the mutual intentions of the
parties, and to order a sale of the re-
mainder in subdivisions.

JAPS REHEARSING
NEW WAR DRAMA

A Russian war drama is
to be presented next week at the Jap
anese theater. Needless to say it will
be from a pro-Japanese standpoint.
But the drama will be lurid enough and
there will be plenty of gore and fight
ing.
The drama is like one of those Get
Rich-Quick concerns, it is gotten up
on the rapid fire order The dramatic
action starts with the breaking off of
negotiations which is Immediately fol-
lowed by the breaking 81 heads. Large
numbers of people who are to consti-
tute the fighting supers are being drill
ed every day on Nuuanu street. The
drama will be very vivid and exciting.
There will be the attack on Port Ar
thur with all the marine and explosive
effects, the cries and means of the
wounded, the boom and shrieks of the
death dealing shells.
The dramatic activity will take the
audience past the Port Arthur affair
and will no doubt, witness a clash of
arms ashore in which the Japs will be
victorious AS a final scene to the
drama General Kuropatkin the Rus
sian commander will be seen signing
that treaty of peace at Toxic with Ore
gon boots on his legs and handouts on
his wrists. The first performance will
be given a week from tonight.

AFFECTS ALL
THE HEIGHTS
CONTINUED from Page -

from Booth and says that under the
terms of such agreement he caused the
land to be surveyed, and proceeded to
lay out and construct streets and a
reservoir to install an electric light ser
ice, telephones and pipes furnishing
water supply for the lots on the
Heights. The reservoir cost $32, 900, says
Desky, and the driveways, bridges, Gull
verts, etc, $50, 900. Altogether he spent
no less than $780, 900 in improving the
heights for residences. Under the terms
of his agreement with Booth, the latter
was to release his mortgage on lots
and such portions as Desky sold,
provided that Desky should pay Booth
for such pieces at rate of not less
than $1,000 per acre. Desky has sold a
lot of lots and it is now appears that
they are included in Booths new mort
gage, for $4,000 OF this mortgage Des-
ky says:
That the said mortgage was hur-
riedly drawn and executed and through
unadventure and mutual mistake of the
parties thereto did not include certain
reservations of properties and improve
ments, which under said contract OF
February Is, A. d. 1899, and mutual IN
derstandings and agreements of the
parties entered into, should have been
included therein"
Among the lots mentioned in the bill
of complaint as included in Booths
mortgage are ones purchased by George
T. Kluegel, N. X. Otsuka, Clarence
Walton, George Castle, Juliette M. Ath-
erton. Desl1y says he has sold many
other lots, giving his deed, and now
finds that through the hurry and in
advertence" in making the mortgage,
he decided them as security to Booth.
Practically every residence on Pacific
Heights is concerned in the foreclosure
being attempted by Booth, aside from
the fact that many if not all are in
advertently" remortgaged to Booth, by
reason of the reservoir site, water pipe,
telephone, light, and rights of way, as
well as the land reserved for streets,
being all included in the mortgage now
said to have been enormously drawn.
Desky says that in the deeds he gave to
the Pacific Heights purchasers he bound
himself to maintain the water service,
etc, whereas he now finds Booth fore
closing on his reservoir, pipes and
rights of way.

ANoTHER PoTATo FAMINE.

WAILUKU, March 26.-The big
American Hawaiian steamer Texan ar
rived at Kahului last Wednesday morn
ing, and started discharging her inward
freight as soon as she was properly
moored She will take on 1000 tons of
sugar at Kahului, from where she will
sail to Hilo, to complete her cargo.
The arrival of the Texan somewhat
relieved the potato famine which was
already being felt so generally on Maui.
She brought a cargo of this product for
the Maui stores.
The weather so far during her stay
in port has been all that could be de-
sired and no doubt she viii receive
