ATTACK JURY TRIALS
European Lawyers Declare Ameri-
can Court Verdicts Are Biased.
PREFER TO HAVE JUDGES DECIDE.
Men of High Standing Are Given to
shirk Jury Duty Because Their
Time Ii Occupied with
Business.

st. Louis, Sept 30.-Before the con-
gress Of lawyers and jurists here, the
American jury system was attacked py
delegates from European countries.
Prof. Rerinx, OF Belgium, said: ,
~ beg pardon for mentioning this
in America, but do not believe In civil
Jury trials. In the first place the dill"
ficulty of securing good jury In the
best cases is extreme. The duty OF
serving In civil suits has become so
onerous on the community that you
cannot expect men of high standing
whose time is occupied with their own
affairs to give several days every few
months to jury service. A civil jury
is not sounder than a good, honest,
well-trained Judge. When you can't
get men of high standing in the COM
munity for jurymen you get men OF a
lower tenor whose judgment cannot be
depended upon. Most lawyers would
rather go to Judge than to such a
jury. I think the jury system is itself
on trial to-day and there Is every indl-
cation that the verdict Of public
opinion is against 1t. In my opinion
the use of juries leads to a large num-
Der of new trials. In continental Eu-
rope we hardly know what new trial
is because we have no juries."
Judge John M. Dillon, Of New York,
said that he was thoroughly convinced
that the present jury system was the
best and suited to our individuality.
It made the individual prominent and
that was what we were fond Of. He
said he preferred trial In which the
Jury and Judge and witnesses for the
opposing side were brought face to
face. Given a good Judge who knew
Just how to thoroughly instruct jury
he would rather have jury OF IL
men Of ordinary intelligence and abil-
ity than 10 men of superior learning.
G. c. Cole, dean Of the Drake univer-
sity law school, Des Moines, Ia, said:
There is a possibility Of Judge be-
ing approached, which is not possible
with u men. That is the great bull
wark of our jury system"

CABLINGFOR THE BAND

]. c. Cohen has received cablegrams
from two mainland men representing
competing theatrical managements,
making offers for a tour of the Ha-
waiian Band. Each offers to guarantee
round trip expenses and salaries The
objection to these offers Cohen has, is
that if either were accepted the control
would be lodged in the hands of the
management there, which would dictate
the places and times where the band
would play; they would play at syndi-
cate houses to regular prices and com
paratively limited audiences instead Of
in big pavilions at popular prices, and
the feature of advertising Hawaii would
be shelved, except as the band would
incidentally advertise the country. Co
hen wants to take the band up with
advertising Hawaii as one of the chief
features.

Fish Ponds
And LeprOSy

national leper settlement in yell
lowstone Park for the lepers outside Of
Hawaii, Guam, the Philippines and the
United States possessions" generally,
is a suggestion put forward by DR.. A.
S. Ashmead, who was i'm Hawaii some
months ago and made something of a
study of conditions here. DR.. Ashmead
was connected for some years with a
Japanese university and has written
for the New York Journal of Dennato-
logy an article on Fish Ponds as a
Cause of Leprosy in Hawaii, seeking to
show that the long use of fish by Ha-
waiians is responsible for prevalence of
leprosy
DR.. Ashmead makes number of
statements regarding fish at the settle
ment which are emphatically denied by
superintendent McVeigh. He tells Of
thousands of fish at the settlement and
their sale to people who are healthy
The fact is, however, that there are not
enough fish at the settlement. Catch
ing them is difficult and the rules do
not allow any expectations.
DR.. Ashmead has had a lot of cores
pondence with the President and with
DR. David Starr Jordan, head of the
T. S. Fish Commission which came here,
and he sought an appointment on that
commission as a means of securing an
opportunity to study his theory that
there is relationship between the use
of fish here and the prevalence of lep-
rosy. DR.. Jordan's reply to him was to
the effect that the commission could not
provide such position and had no time
to undertake the proposed Investigation.
1t would require long investigation by
a bacteriologist on the spot, said DR..
Jordan
Ashmeads proposal as to the Yellow
stone was the setting apart of a square
mile of the unused land for a national
lazaretto to which all lepers should be

MISSIONARY POWER
in THE CAROLINES

News of the conditions of affairs in
the Caroline Islands was brought here
by Captain George Ekrem the master
of the missionary schooner Carrie ard
Annie which had to put into this port
last Friday in distress while bound
from Ponape for San Francisco.
1t was reported some time ago that
the Germans and missionaries were in
volved in a controversy caused by the
Germans threatening TO fire the mis-
sionaries off the islands CAPTAIN Elk
rom states that this report was an
error The German government did
some time ago shortly after that coun-
try came into possession Of the islands
by purchasing them from Spain, make
certain laws regarding the missionaries
which at first might have been very
unpopular.
when the Germans took possession
of the islands said Captain Ekrem
they found that the missionaries of
the various denominations including
the American missionaries, had OBJ
tanned concessions to extensive tracts
of the best land on the islands The
Germans had purchased the islands to
make as much mone% out of them as
possible and they proceeded to restrict
the power of the missionaries. The
German government took the position
that by the purchase of the islands they
had obtained complete control of the
land and they announced that the mis-
sionaries should not be allowed to
have all of the good land. The result
was that the concessions were taken
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1904-04-12

from the missionaries and they were
given smaller tracts.
Rev. Thomas Gray and wife are the
American missionaries at Ponape and
they were sent to a place called Ga
outside Of the town of Ponape and
wire given a tract of land about a mile
square, to cultivate. They were thriv-
ing very we'll when I was there, as the
natives are taught several hours a day
by the missionaries and in return, de-
vote some of their time to cultivate
the land. Other missionaries were
treated similar to the American mis-
sionaries.
Formerly the missionaries were al
lowed to trade but the Germans stop
ped that by charging a trading tax Of
$500 year. Some time ago there were
several men who masqueraded as mis-
sionaries and did trading. They claim
ed that they were missionaries but they
were nothing of the kind. They were
only traders and frauds so the govern
ment ordered them away
THE American missionaries have a
great deal of influence with the natives
The latter realize that the more they
learn the more power they will secure
as they increase their knowledge The
American missionariese teach them. If
the Americans chose, they could start
a revolution among the natives at any
time, against the German authority
but the missionaries are not in that
sort of business. Everything is getting
along quietly in the Caroline Islands
Business is quiet there now however,
