golia from the orient was Major Louis L.
Seaman. surgeon in the United States en-

Recommendations
MADE BY FREAR
CHIEF JUSTICE ACTED IN AC-
CORDANCE WITH HIS DUTY AS
HEAD OF JUDICIARY.

The Bulletin last evening published
in fac-simile the following letter from
Chief Justice Frear to Representative
Chillingworth, citing it is evidence
that the Chief Justice had been as
sisting in framing legislation upon
which he would have to pass as a jus
tice:
Honolulu, March 2, 1903.
Hon. S. F. ChiHingworth, House of
Representatives.
Dear Sir: I understand you are to
have charge of the County Bill and
that / will soon come up in the
House. I have not had time to go
through it all yet, but inclose few
suggestions as to the first part and
may later send other suggestions as to
the remainder. 1 think one suggestion
will be to add a new section at the
end repeating many laws the sub
stance of which is covered by the coun-
ty bill. This should be done for the
benefit of the compilers in making the
new compilation. Perhaps l can pre-
pare such a section. Yours truly,
wv F. FREAR."
The recommendation which were
made by Chief Justice Frear were of
technical changes in the wording of the
county act 1t is a part of the duties
of the chief justice, in making his an
nual reports for the judiciary depart
ment, to recommend new legislation,
changes in laws and passage of new
laws, and his suggestions to Chilling
worth are regarded as in line with that
work. The annual reports of the chief
justices have always contained num-
erous recommendations for legislative
action, and the last one had many
pages setting forth laws which should
be repealed and altered in his opinion.
In a letter to the Advertiser Repre-
sentative Chillingworth states that the
letter to him was published without his
authority and that he did not know
it was in the possession of the Bulletin
and had declined to be interviewed on
subject of his correspondence with
Frear He says he was told that the
letter was picked up on the floor of the
House Of Representatives. The fol-
lowing is a memorandum which has
been furnished by Chief Justice Frear
of the recommendations made by him
regarding the county law:

A PRACTICAL TEST OF VOTING MACHINES
CALIFORNIA TOWN MACHINES A
COUNTING
CLAIMED FRAUD IMPOSSIBLE WITH


SANTA CLARA, April 4.-This com
munity of 1000 persons attained the dis
tinction today of being the first place
west of the Mississippi to make prac-
teal use of the voting machine for
regular election. The polls were open
from 6 a. m. till p. m, with three pre-
cinct machines in operation Nearly
700 voters indicated their choice among
the twenty-odd candidates for the nine
town offices. Fifteen minutes after the
polls closed the complete official re-
turns were announced, and there was
no possibility of error or fraud or the
public expense of a prolonged contest
and a recount. In its inaugural test
the system met with unanimous COM
mendation, and justified the recent ac-
ton of the Board of Supervisors in
buying fifteen of these machines at a
cost of $4,000 for official use in the
Clara county.
Palo Alto, with some 5000 inhabitants
and $40 voters, will be the next place
to use the voting machines. Two of
them will be installed there tomorrow
for six days public inspection and
trial preparatory to their regular use
at the town election next Tuesday.
Later Gilroy will be given a demon
stration of the simple working of the
device, and in May the machines will
probably be set up in San Jose, city
of $4,000 population, with 5000 voters,
and put to the final test of handling a
city election and completing the whole
work within less than an hour after
the closing of the polls.
Supervisor John Roll, the father of
Santa Clara's voting reform, went up
to the machine in the first precinct
and recorded his vote for the nine
different offices in just twelve seconds.
Eight men in one bunch, all novices at
the machine, were timed in sequence
and took 20 seconds, 76 seconds, 81
seconds, 80 seconds, 81 seconds, 20 sec
onds, % seconds and 80 seconds, or a to-
tai of just five and a half minutes The
young man who took twenty seconds
was polling his first vote An extreme
case was that of Charles Bossert,
very near-sighted man, who was at the
machine three minutes and twenty
seconds.
Charles T. Oldham, blind for the last
fifteen years and not able to vote be-
fore without the aid of some other
person, went before the machine and
simply by feeling pulled down the lit
tie lever he wanted and completed his
vote in about one minute. Oldham
had previously felt an over the ma
chine during the days when it was on
exhibition here and knew exactly
whore each candidates name Wovid be.
His particular interest was intensified
by the fact that he was down ON the
ticket himself us ono of the five cane

balloting by one man voting for two
or more rival candidates and there can
be no spoiled ballots.
When the voter has registered his
name and address and been approved
by the judges as the proper person
he approaches the machine. The Of
fetal in charge quickly show him the
way to pull down the levers and how
first to pull the bell lever signalling
that he is ready to begin, and how
to thrust the top lever to the right
and finally to pull it back to the left
again when he is through and wishes
to record his votes. Then the official
steps back to one side and touches a
device that permits the mechanism
to be operated. The voter pulls the
top lever across to the right and
closets himself behind the curtains
inside of which is hanging a reflect
ing lantern He turns the bell lever
down at the left and promptly begins
pulling down the various little levers

There Is absolutely no way In which
voter can tamper with the machine
and do any tricky voting. On the OUT
side Of the machine Is a series OF re-
yolving disks, which constantly expose
the total number OF votes as they are

and the various totals revealed. The
the back Of the machine is removed
other is that the process is a great saw
er of money. In former years it had
taken three hours and often longer to
count the votes at town elections in
Santa Clara. In former years each
precinct has required eight officials of
election at SO a day, with another SO
added for the night work of counting,
or S4S a precinct. Today each precinct
had but six officials at 50, or SIS a pre-
cinct. The machine made a saving of
$50 a precinct in officials alone.
Since the last general election by
the Australian ballot Santa Cruz
county has had to bear the expense,
not yet ended, of contests and re-
counts for the offices of County Au-
ditor, County Recorder and County
Superintendent of Schools. Already
the cost has reached $4,000 and if the
contestants are successful and secure
the offices they will have to be paid
back salaries, and the aggregate cost
to the county as a result of the de-
fects of the old voting system will be
approximately $4,000, or five times
what all these machines cost the
county. With half a hundred pre-
cincts in the county and most of them
having six elections every four years
it is easy to figure that the voting
machine win effect a saving of about
$1,000 every four years at the precincts
alone and anywhere from $4,000 to
100000 on recounts and back paw.
The United States standard voting
machine, made in Rochester, N. Y.
and first adopted and officially used in
Buffalo, is the device Santa Clara
county has established for her cleo
tions. The machine is about five feet
across, three feet high and foot
thick, and is mounted on slender steel
legs to bring it up to a convenient
height, Before the front of it is ar
ranged a double sliding curtain that
folds in and hides the voter when ne
pulls over the top lever that unlocks
the keys and wisks open instantly
when he shoves the lever back and re-
cords his vote.
The various offices are arranged in
forty perpendicular columns, each
labeled at the top And there are as
many cross rows of names as there
are political parties in the contest. In
tOday's town election all the nominees
were independent and the party
scheme was not used, and only a
small part of the board was en-
ployed because of the comparatively
few candidates, over each candidates
name there Is a little crank-lilSe lever,
smaller than the last joint Of a mans
little finger When a lever is pulled

can be recorded for that name. but
