General sickles thinks Judge Parker a very fine man. but the doings and non-doings at St. Louis give him pause. sThe idea of leaving out such an es- sential part of platform as the money plank was ridiculous he says, land it lis likely to make many persons who would like to vote the democratic tick ct this year hesitate before doing so. I am hesitating myself. and have not made lip my mind what shall do. The independent democrats elected McKin- ley in 1896 and 1900. and they may be the balance of power this time. think this selection of an octogenarian for second place on the democratic ticket was a further mistake.''

WORK BEGUN ON
NORMAL SCHOOL
A FORTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOL
LAR STRUCTURE ON PUNCH
BOWL QUARRY SITE.

Work has begun on the Normal
school, which is to occupy the old
Punchbowl quarry site, at the corner Of
Lunalilo, Hackfeld and Quarry streets.
The building is to cost about $4,000
and will be fine three-story structure.
1t is planned to have the opening about
a year from now.
The Normal school site is one of the
finest in Honolulu. The school has
about two and a half acres of land,
commanding a fine view of the Pacific
ocean and shore line of Honolulu, and
more land, to include the entire Square
may eventually be acquired. Behind
is the quarry pail which Superinten-
dent Atkinson proposes to have ter
raced, so that it will contain beau
tiful display of flowers and various
plants. The architects plans by Dickey
and Newcomb, show handsome three
story structure.
I'VE shall have three or four hundred
school children" said Superintendent
Atkinson lin the new building and the
Normal class will probably number
nearly a hundred. The plans have
received much careful attention from
Mr.. Newcomb aside from the work he
was given under his contract and pub
lie thanks are due him for the interest
he has shown and the time he has
given to the matter gratis
The original lot set aside for the
school was considerably smaller than
the one now devoted to the purpose
The two and a half acres allow space
for large play grounds for the children
and the plans include elaborate beau
tifying of the grounds. The superin-
tendent will endeavor to have the whole
block devoted to the school, making a
total space of about three acres.

LEPER'S APPEAL
CONTINUED from page one.)

petitioner as to the existence i'm every
sovereignty of certain inherent powers
of internal management and control,
usually described under the term Po-
lice Powers. Neither do we deny that
the legitimate exercise of the Police
Powers of this Territory might well be
extended to the protection of the peo-
pie against the evils of the disease of
leprosy, and that such protection might
be found to necessitate the apprehen-
sion and isolation Of persons known to
be suffering from the disease; but we
insist that all such powers are held,
and must be exercised i'm suboTdination
to the well recognized and expressly
recited limitations of the Constitution
of the United States If the restraint
of this woman is sanctioned by the
| Constitution, she must-submit to that
| restraint; if not, she is entitled to be
discharged therefrom.
1T will not be disputed that among
the rights of every citizen is that Of
personal liberty, of property, and Of
the pursuit of happiness; and that none
of said rights can be legally abridged
or curtailed except for caused and by
methods sanctioned by the Constitu-
ton. This right of personal liberty
consists in the right of free locomotion,
of changing situation, or moving ones
person to whatsoever place ones own
| inclination may direct, without i'm
prisonment or restraint, unless by due
process of law"
From the earliest times I'm the his
tory of our race when the Government
assumed control over the persons and
| estates of idiots and lunatics, there has
been some provision for an inquiry into
the mental condition of the patient, or
person charged with idiocy or lunacy
as the case might be.

HAWAII SENDS SOME
CHRISTMAS CHEER
MAUNA LOA ARRIVED THIS
MORNING WITH CONSIDERABLY
CARGO OF GOOD THINGS TO EAT

The preliminary shipment of Christ
mas daintes from the west coast of
Hawaii arrived this morning by the
steamer Mauna Loa. The vessel
brought the usual large assortment of
freight and had an unusually large
number of pigs of which there were
about 70. About % crates of chickens
were also sent down as were fruits The
vessel also brought 72S sacks of coffee
and 2,31S bags of sugar which COM
pletes the output of Hutchinson plan
tation for the season of 1904. Purser
Conklng reports that Hutchinson will
resume grinding some time after
Christmas. HOnuapo plantation has
shut down for a short time.
While the freight on the vessel this
trip was not much larger than usual,
the purser and freight clerk were con-
sderably busie" i'm handling it than on
an ordinary trip. There were so many
individual consignments of Christmas
presents that the list of consignees
was considerably strung out.
Purser Conkling reports that there
has been no rain in Kau since last re-
port. The weather on both the out
ward and inward trips was pleasant
The weather was good in Kona.
The vessel will make one more trir
to Hawaii before Christmas.

A PLEA FOR A
JUVENILE COURT
THE CASE OF SOME BOYS IN
THE POLICE COURT FORMS A
TEXT FOR IT

Former District Magistrate l.. a.
Dickey is i'm favor of a Juvenile court.
He argued today in favor of the es-
tablishment of such an institution i'm
Honolulu. Judge Dickey made his
argument in the police court this morn
ing before Judge Whitney.
The occasion arose when about clever
small boys were charged with having
gambled or been present in the neigh
borhood of the Magoon block yesterday
afternoon where gambling was i'm pro-
gress. Judge Dickey, while not exact
ly entered as counsel for the boys, an
nounced that i'm a way, he represented
two of the defendants and took the oc-
casion to address the court regarding
the need for the juvenile court.
Dickey stated that he wanted some
thing similar to that spoken of by
Judge Lindsay of Minnesota. 1t was
wrong Dickey thought to send a boy to
the reform school, or suspend a SEN
tence over him without some strong
effort having been made to reform him.
He thought it was best to establish a
juvenile court for boys and girls where
the cases could be specially inquired
into and efforts be made to reform the
children. Reprimands should be given
the children and they should be secured
employment outside If possible, reports
should be made of them to the court
by officers specially detailed for this
work. In case however, any of the
juveniles became incorrigible then il
was time to turn them over to the re.
! gular police authorities.
Judge Whitney reprimanded the
, crowd. he fined five larger gamblers
| SO and costs.

ut is most remarkable thing that
the Government should claim the right
to imprison. without legal process and
to Danish for life to the horrors of "a
Molokai lazaretto. a person claimed to
be physically diseased. while conCeding,
as the government must concede, that
the mildest of lunatics could not be
committed for day to the Insane Hos
pital without a judicial inquiry into his
mental status, and a judicial decision
declaring him to be insane.
rs it not a denial to those suspected
of leprosy of the equal protection Of
the laws guaranteed by the Four
teenth Amendment, that they should
be subjected to the arbitrary control of
the Board Of Health, acting through
physicians of is own appointment, and
responsible to it alone, and holding po-
sition solely by the grace of the Boards
favor? Is there any reason i'm prin-
ciple, why a person should be liable,
upon the mere say-so or certificate of
given number of physicians, who may
be ignorant, who may be vicious, who
may be prejudiced, who may be enc
mics of the person whose liberty is at
stake who have taken no oath to eXa-
mine diligently, or certify truly, to be
immured for life i'm the living hell of
! Molokai, when even the mildest Of
| fender, against the mildest of Penal
/ Statutes, may not incur a money fine
! of one dollar, without due and formal
accusation, plea, arraignment, trial,
and judgment i'm a court of law, where
| all the rights guaranteed by the con-
stitution as to witnesses, counsel and
other modes of prosecution and de-
Tense, shall be strictly Observed"

MRS. BETIINCQuRI
CCon rinued from Page u

Mrs. Bettincourt, the widow, was
called and, with her, a Portuguese in
terpreter. Again the defence objected,
on the ground that the witness under
stood English sufficiently to give her
evidence directly in that language.
Judge Robinson thought that the ex-
animation might proceed in English
until it was found that the witness
could not understand.
Mrs. Bettincourt appeared to under
stand English fairly well as the exam
ination proceeded. Her husband had a
policy for $1,000 which she had given to
May after her husbands death so that
he could get the money for her.
May said he would have to have
some proof of her husbands death.
May was agent for the Germania In
surance Company May had gone on
her bond as administrators and after
she had signed all the papers, May told
her he had sent them to the Germania
Company. She then signed a draft in
Mays office, she thought this was for
the amount to come from the policy.
May said that he could keep the money
in his office for her. The arrangement
was that May was to keep the money
for six months so that if there We're
claims against her husbands estate
she need not say anything about the
money. May told her to be quiet about
it as he was her bondsman and it might
get him into trouble.
After Dutra had told her something
about the money she went to see May
and asked him about the amount of the
policy. May said he was very sorry
but he had invested her money with
$4,000 in the Pacific Mill. She had not
told him to invest her money at any
time. He gave her no stock, nor even
a receipt. After that she called many
times but never got any from him so
she went to lawyer Biting about it.
May told her that he did not like her
getting a lawyer. He got very angry.
Here Attorney General Andrews pro-
,duced an agreement which Mrs. Bettin-
! court identified. 1t was to allow her
to reside in a house on Punchbowl
from month to month until he could
pay her $1,000, less $15 month for rent.
She had not signed this paper. May al
so offered her three lots in Kaimuk in
settlement of her claim.
Cross-examined by Attorney Dunno
Mrs Bettincourt said that her husband
left no other estate than the $1,000 pol
icy. Her husband she knew had been
in debt and she feared that if the cred
itOrs knew of the insurance money
they would take 1t. Dutra suggested
that May should be asked to act as
bOndsman. May at first refused but
afterwards agreed.
She denied absolutely saying that
when the money came May could invest
it for her so that he could pay himself
for having done the favor to her.
Attorney Dunno pursued his enquir-
les along this line at some length but
was unable to get an admission from
the witness that she had ever author
lied May to invest her money in any
way. The trial is going on this after
noon.

executive committee, which has been
called for Monday evening. December
10. on this committee itself are De-
putty High Sheriff Rawlius as secre-
tary chief clerk H. f. Murray of the
sheriff's office as assistant secretary,
superintendent of roads Sam Johnson
and Deputy Sheriff H. c. Vida, Sena-
tors E Faxon Bishop and John Lane
and Representative w. w. Harris.
Chairman A. G. M. Robertson is the
only Honolulu member who is not in
office If the precinct men are sue
cessful i'm their programme the Office
holders will all have to retire and this
will mean practically a new committee.
The Fourth District committe has At
torney Generel Lorrin Andrews for
chairman and the Fifth has Deputy
Sheriff Vida for chairman. Sam john
son and Assistant Attorney General
Fleming are on the list of Fourth Dis
trict executive committee members
The second precinct of the Fourth
District, the biggest precinct in the
territory lis the center of the new
movement and will hold a special meet
ing on Thursday night to discuss the
proposed new rule. The matter was
, the subject of a good deal of talk dur
ing the campaign, but was dropped
then I'm view of the fact that a cam
paign was on. Now some of the same
men who objected then are to the front
with efforts to work the needed ere
form" as they term it.
AS matters now stand" said one Of
d 90 rsttla
who are in government offices practi-
caly control the whole party machinery
I do not think this is right. If man
wants an endorsement for office, he has
to get it from those who are in office
now or in other words, are controlled
by the administration. We ought to
have an Independent party committee
free from the mfr ence of otficeholders
or legislators altogether, not only for
the sake of the committee itself, but
also because the office holders ought to
be kept from taking such prominent
part i'm precinct and district politics.
/ 1t is al right for them to take an in
terest i'm politics and to work on the
stump and in some other ways perhaps,
for their party, but they have no bust
ness in the actual party machinery.
| The present conditions, i'm which the
! Capitol building is seeking to run the
! whole party, ought not to be tolerated
| any longer"
1t is not thought that the change can
. be effected without a good deal of
! discussion, if it can be carried at all.
There are many in the party who
! thoroughly approve of oficehOlders be-
| ing active in politics and it remains to
be seen if they constitute a majority
of the membership of the committees
to decide the matter.
John Hughes is one of the leaders in
the movement for the new rule, and
will urge it at the meeting of the sec
ond precinct. Hughes got up the call
! for the meeting. II am out for straight
and honest politics." he said, "and
believe the proposed rule is necessary
and l intend to do my best to fight for
lit"

FEDERAL JURY
HARD AT WORK
SIX DEFEATED DEMOCRATS TELL
FIFTEEN REPUBLICANS, AND
OTHERS HOW IT HAPPENED.

Sharp at ten o'clock this morning the
Federal Grand Jury met in the room
wherein Judge Dole is used to dispense
justice with an equal hand. Headed
by Foreman S. NJ. Damon the mem
bers of the grand inquest filed into the
room, bailin c. E. Calvert tiled the
door, and the investigation of the con-
duct of the recent election was at once
commenced.
As the present proceedings are dis
| tinctly of a political type, even admit
ting that the judicial issue is para
mount, considerable interest has been
| displayed over the personnel of the
grand jury i'm relation to the party af-
| tiliations of its component units. AS
| far as could be gathered this morning,
| of the twenty two members there are
fifteen Republicans, five Democrats
one Home Ruler and one in the doubt
! full column. This showing may be
wrong in some details but the list was
| figured out thus:
| Republican: f. L. Waldron, S. c.
| Wilder, Charles Butzke, c. G.. Ballen-
tyne, ]. P. Whine, C. C. Watt, S. n.
Hundley, +. d. Carley, Hugh McCor-
riston, c. NJ. V. Forester J. A. Nc
| Candless, w. O. Atwater, ]. A. Gilman,
j. p. Cooke and +. r. Bath, Q5).
Democratic: S. NJ. Damon (Foreman)
j. w. Mcdonald, John Efinger, H. A.
| Wilder and ]. j. Splitter, 90.
Home Rule: G. X. Kaia.
Doubtful: II. Lancaster.
OF course the grand jurors will go
| ahead and do their duty quite regard
less of political Affiliations but there is
certain interest in their leanings
nevertheless
| Only a few minutes after the jury
met, the first witness was called in the
person of G. j. Waller defeated Demo-
cratic candidate for the Senate. Then
i'm succession Captain Campbell, II. j.
Mossman, H. r. Moore, Col. Curtis p.
Iaukea and J. F. Langston were call
| ed.
The whole six witnesses called dur
ing the morning session figured i'm the
also ran" class on the evening of No
vember s. OF course the oath they
had taken prevented them from tell
ing just what they had disclosed OF
disgraceful Republican methods to the
I Grand Jurors but Col. Iaukea, who re-
manned in the corridor during the sit
ting seemed pleased with the progress
made
The session adjourned until this af-
ternoon.
