GRAND JURY
VIOLATIONS THEY WILL CALL
INVEsTIG ATE-MORB JAPANESE CAsEs-JUDGE
EXPLAINS THE UNUSUAL IMPORTANCE = SUCH CASES A
EDUCATION.

United States judge Dole this morn
ing opened the April term of the fed
eral court and charged the Grand
jury b. d. TenneY was appointed
foreman. The charge quotes a num-
Der of statutes dealing with offenses
which the court says were likely to be
brought before the jurors, among the
statutes referred to being those cover
ing peOnage, importation and con-
spiracy cases which occupied much at
tention during the last term. There
will probably be some more Ten Dol
lar club matters, or cases of a similar
nature.
Judge Dole called attention to the
federal statute on the subject of send
ing vulgar and obscene publications
through the mails, telling them that it
was among the matters which would
be called to their attention Other
statutes with which the jurors inves-
legations win have to do are those re-
lating to perjury forgery of Postal
Money Orders, polygamy, unlawful inn
portauon of women, Illicit distilling.
With reference to the Japanese cases
relating to women, the court said:
1t appears from the records of
this court that a considerable activity
has developed in this territory in the
control Of women for immoral pur-
poses, and that a number of the Grim
inal cases which have been tried in
this court have arisen from enterprises
Of this character the importation of
women under the guise of marriage,
their sale as chattels, and corrupt COM
binations for the protection of the
of prostitution, are among the
brought out by the trials
Of these cases.

vorce Of certain nationalities, largely
represented here, and the prevailing

at once be begun on fire department
building.
1.-THE matter of the lao Valley road
was then taken up, and it was agreed
that the work should be pushed. 1t
was agreed that the bulk of the work
should be done in the upper portion
of the valley, leaving our road board
to handle the lower end, as the amount
appropriated is insufficient Probably
however the grade may be lowered
near the reservoir as that can be done
at a small expense according to the
survey made some months since by
Mr.. Silliman
Road work was then discussed and
committee urged immediate work on
the road and bridges to Maalaea Bay
repairing the parapets on the pail road
and the building of much needed
bridges near OlOwalu. The upper
Kula road, the road to Kihei, from
Peahi to Kailua, the Nahiku road the
road from Lahaina to HonOlua and
from Honolua to Waihee were also
discussed, and the committee strong
ly urged that the work be begun on
them as soon as possible.
THE proposition of a jail at Wal
luku was discussed in connection with
the building of a court house. The
impression of Governor Carter and
superintendent Holloway seems to be
that the use of the unfortunate word
county in the clause appropriating
money for the courthouse will tie the
hands of the government. This is of
course a silly contention, for there is
not ana never was a county govern
ment in Maui and everyone knows that
the appropriation was made for the
specific purpose of building a court
house at Waikiki. If however, the
Governor and Superintendent of Public
Works insist on their contention there
is nothing for the helpless people Of
Maui to do save to wait for legisla-
tive action, to smooth out the difficulty
AT the close of the interview Gov
ernor Carter was asked to state spec
ifically what he would do for Maui.
He declined to make amy specific
promise, but assured the committee
that he would give the matters pre-
scented to him immediate consldera-
ton, and that the department of
Public Works would take them up in
detail and push them to a finish with
in the next few months.

DARLING SHUNS
THE CHILLY NIGHT
NATURE MAN DEFERS GETTING
DOWN TO NATURE DURING
PRESENT COLD SPELL.

Darling, the Nature Man, is not get
ting down to nature these cold nights
He is getting under blankets. He says,
however, that he will go to the woods
as soon as he finishes his course of lee
lures. He has been stopping at lodg-
ing house since his arrival in Honolulu
last Friday The date when he will for
sake the cOnventionaIity of spring mat
trasses, sheets, blankets, pillow cases
and warm rooms is undetermined But
he will HE himself to a sky canopied
aerie soon.
Darling evidently got such an appe-
tite for the beefsteaks Of the Alameda
that he finds it hard to get down to a
strict diet of nuts and fruit. Bananas
seem to be his favorite fruit but it is
doubtful even if Darling would have
the capacity for them on his hungriest
day as the average small boy displays
for this fruit
The Nature Man was riding on his
bicycle about the city this morning. lie
was followed by large crowd He
purchased a tooth brush. Inasmuch as
his diet of fruit and nuts is not such as
would seem to require such an imple-
ment, the indications are that he want
ed the tooth brush to brush his hair. He
is giving lectures on the vacant lot in
front of the Young Hotel every after
noon at $3.50 o'clock He will speak as
usual today.

HOUSE REFUSES TO
HAVE A COUNTY BILL
KUPIHEA is NOT EVEN ALLOWED PERMISSION TO IN
TRODUCE IT AND THE PROPOSITION IS DEAD
JOINT RESOLUTION CALLING FOR A COMMISSION
TO FRAME A COUNTY ACT.

The House this morning refused l<u-
pihea permission to introduce his Coun-
~ bill. Kupihea had the bill with him
and made the usual formal request for
permission to introduce it. 1t was re-
fused by an almost unanimous vote.
This action is almost unprecedented,
the action of introducing a measure be-
ing usually a mere matter Of form, acc
ceded to without question.
Kupihea introduced joint resolu-
ton to provide a commission to frame
County act, two members to be ap-
pointed by the President of the Senate
two by the Speaker of the House and a
third by the Governor The Repub-
leans voted it down and then Kelinoi
| introduced a joint resolution providing
for a commission to be appointed by tne
House ana Senate and Governor, with
provision for compensation. 1t was
adopted by the same party vote as ta-
! bled Kupihea's resolution, showing the
political alignment of members on ayes
and noes, for the first time this session:

BOARD OF HEALTH.

Carter is right and Cooper is wrong
in the resent contention between them.
Retrenchment all around is an alb
solute necessity, and the people have
not forgotten the millions needlessly
squandered, to the almost bankruptcy
of the Territory by the doctors several
years since, in the fight against the bu-
bonic plague in Honolulu and Kahului.
Give us hospitals where needed, provide
government physicians for necessary
and extreme cases, and exercise rea-
sonable and necessary dimensions. And
those doctors on the Board of Health
who have grown too large to heed the
wishes of the government and the peO-
pie should follow DR., Coopers example
and pass up their designations Do
you hear that, DR.. Mays?-Maui News.

WHAT THE MAUI
PEOPLE WANT
BETWEEN COVER
NOR CARTER AND THE COMMIT
TEE FROM WAILUKU.

The Maui News has the, following
report of the conference of the Maui
Improvement Association Committee
with Governor Carter last week.
Governor Carter having learned
through the Honolulu press that such
a committee hau arrived from Maui
appointed Monday afternoon at 4
o'clock for the interview. BY invita-
ton of the committe, Superintendent
Holloway and Treasurer Kepoikai were
present at the appointed time and a
long and informal but quite satisfac-
tory interview was held with Governor
Garter during which the fact was
brought to view that in the loan BILL
S178,OOO was appropriated for Maui,
only one-half of which is available, for
the reason that only one half of the
bonds have been sold Governor
Carter informed the committee how
ever that he had decided to sell the
remaining One-half of the bonds on or
before the first of July, so that the
whole loan appropriation would be
available during the summer.
The Governor then went into a
careful investigation of the more i'm
portant needs of Maui a prepared list
of which were presented by the COM
mittee. The matter of equipping the
fire department was taken up, and it
developed that the loan bill makes no
provisions for hydrants, without which
a fire department would be useless. Not
long since, Honolulu ordered an addi-
tional lot of hydrants, and it was I'M
derstood that the hydrants needed for
Waikiki and Kahului We're included in
the order. Superintendent Holloway
however blushingly confessed that
when the Honolulu order went on
WailUku had been cut out 1t was
Ragreed in the interview however that
Superintendent Holloway should at
once forward an order for hydrants &C
cording to the specifications heretofore
furnished to the department by Sup
erintendent Bal of the Waikiki water
works. 1t was also agreed that hose
carts and hose for two carts should at
once be ordered, and that work should

subjects, are, in some important parti-
culars inconsist mt with Anglo-SaXon
ideas and with the United States laws
carrying them out. The trials of
violations Of the laws bearing directly

made of the offenders, whereby others

also because such proceedings have

THREE HAPPY GIRLS.

From tho New York Press:
Staid Boston foiK are talking about
Miss Gladys Lawson and her new hab-
it. Of riding astride. Miss Lawson is
the eldest daughter Of Thomas w. Law
son, the copper and carnation million
aire, and she is the apple OF his eye.
At the fine Lawson estate Cohasset
Miss Gladys has three or four saddle
horses and one hunter. Most Of them
are prize winners. One black mare is
a risky brute to ride, but Miss Gladys
is fearless. With her divided skirts she
wears a long tan coat that falls on
either side of her patent leather boots.
She usually wears a derby, although
when riding in town she has a TX
hat.
Thomas w. Lawson has three daugh-
tiers, who will be excellent ''catches.
Miss Gladys is in her teens, and has not
been launched in society. Her sisters,
Marion and Dorothy, still are wearing
pigtails. They are sport-loving and
happy girls, and make a pretty cture
as their horses catner along the Jeru-
salem road. The neighbors say they
are as original as their father. who built
the Independence and got into peck
of trouble about yachting. The Law
sons have made no effort to enter the
Back Bay set, and the head of the
house has turned his back on society
in general. It is said the daughters
will "come OUT Paris or London
