ATTACK ON TITLE
TO CROWN LANDS

The title of the government to the
crown lands, so-called, has been at
tackled in a new way, and yesterday
Governor Carter, Land Commissioner
I1ratt. Attorney General Andrews and
LAWYER S. NJ. Ballou had consulta-
ton as to the advisability of govern
ment Intervention in the suit of Gait
VS.. Lula, now penulng, in which ac-
ton the point has arisen.
1t seems that Lula is squatter on
land that formerly belonged to the
crown, and has raised the point that
a squatter on land of this character
can hold adverse possession as against
the government, the plea being that
the crown lands are or were property
of individual owners, namely the SOW
ereigns, and never of the government.
OF course, if one squatter can hold
adverse possession of lands of this
character another can, and the title
of the government to the crown lands
is DESTROYED. The consultation as to
intervention was not decisive, and
there will be further consideration of
the matter.

IT COSTS TOO MUCH
To TRY MURDERERS
Governor Carter Has Written Letter That is
Chock full of Capsicum to Circuit Judge
Robinson.

produce results, inasmuch as he asks
Judge Robinson for some information
that is not apt to be overly gratifying
when it comes, either to the Governor
or in its results to the court. The let
ter from the Governor reads:
March IL, 1905.
Honorable w. j. Robinson, Judge, First
Circuit Court, Territory of Hawaii:
Dear Sir: Yours of March 13, giving
the cost of the trial of the Jones case,
simply astounds me. In the face of the
financial situation of the Territory,
there is no reason why the courts, like
the other departments, should not make
every endeavor to keep within their ap-
preparations. In disregarding them, it
might be readily taken by some to be
a defiance of the legislative powers OF
the Territory.
One of the comments often heard in
relation to matters of American juris-
prudence is the great cost of murder
trials, the long delay, and the arduous
duty of jury service, and these are in
some communities the causes which re-
suit in lawlessness, by bringing about
take the law in their own hands
Certainly, under the present practice
and laws of the Territory, the judges
have wide discretion, and If those re-
sponsible for the conduct of the courts
cannot curtail unreasonable delays and
lavish expenditures. it will inevitably
result in a restriction of the power
which every law-abiding and self-re-
specting community believes should be
given to the judges.
Respect for law is marked cfarac-
teristic of American citizenship, and
intelligent people naturally hesitate in
expressing disapproval of the actions of
any court. as it detracts from the defer
ence which all feel is due to them. 1
believe public opinion in this commu
nifty approves of the wide latitude allow
ed the judges but, on the other hand,
desires that this discretion should be
used with some regard for the taxpayer.
Facing shortage of ready money
and the necessity for Issuing warrants,
and in view of the economies practiced
in other departments of the Territory,
the simple statement that this expen-
diture has been incurred is not suffi-
cient to warrant the administration in
recommending this appropriation of
s5,O00O0 Kindly furnish a statement
of why the case lasted so long, and the
details of expenditures, by which the
expense of boarding and lodging the
jury amounted to $2,21S.25.
Sincerely yours,
G.. r. CARTER,
Governor.

and the superintendent did not often
visit.
In reply to a question from Senator
Hewitt one of the teachers said that
she did not expect the superintendent
to make the inspectors visits or do
their work.
The witnesses denied that there had
been discharges of teachers without
cause. The proposition of gifts to
teachers, which the Grand Jury de-
nounced, was stated by Professor
Scott to be nothing more than presents
of flowers or leis. AS to the sanitation
which was another matter brought up
by the Grand Jury report, the testi-
mony was that it was generally good.
The site of the new normal school was
said to be the best one obtainable,
though it was roasted by the jury and
a charge" was made of its location.
The witnesses agreed in their testi-
mony that it was best not to have
printed rules for teachers. The lack
Of printed rules is the basis Of one OF
the charges brought against Atkinson.
The testimony yesterday morning was
to the effect that it was not advisable
to attempt to govern by such rules
and that the present system Of control
is better.
At ten O'Clock the committee ad-
journed to this morning when another
session will be held. Four more teach
ers have been sent for. to testify re-
garding the manner of conducting the
department.

There has been some pretty warm
between Governor Car
ter and Circuit Judge Robinson, grow
ing out Of the heavy expense incident
to the trial of Edward Mitchell Jones
for murder-the trial on a second
charge, which resulted, by the way, in
a conviction for manslaughter on a
verdict which has been gem
orally recognized as in some sense a.
of justice.
spondence, which on his part was not
tropical. His letter, written
on March 10, was as follows:
Honolulu, T. H., March 13, 1905.
His Excellency, George r. Carter, Gov
ernor of the Territory of Hawaii:
My Dear Governor: Some few days
ago Attorney General Andrews inform
ed me that you desired to know wheth-
er or not the First Circuit Court would
require any amount of money to be
appropriated by the Legislature as an
emergency appropriation, in view of
the very great expense incident to the
trial of the case of Territory of Ha-
wall VS.. Edward Mitchell Jones, charg-
ed with murder in the first degree.
At the time that Mr.. Andrews spoke
to me in regard to the matter I was
unable to say what amount would be
required, as the Jones case had not
been completed. 1t has since been con-
Guided, the jury returning verdict of
guilty of manslaughter in the first de-
gree. with a recommendation to the
extreme mercy of the court.
Upon the close of this case I was
able to ascertain the exact cost of the
trial of this case to the Territory. I
find the total actual expense to have
been $3,963.55, divided as follows:
Jurors fees. Jan. 16 to March 8 s1.744.S0
Expense of boarding and lodging
jury, Jan. 26 to March 9........ 2,21S.75

Total ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. So $685.
Under ordinary circumstances the ex-
pense incurred by the First Circuit
Court in the trial of criminal causes
would not have exceeded 100000 dur
ing the same period of time.
This would indicate that the First
Circuit Court. in the trial of criminal
causes, during the January, A. d. 1905,
term, has incurred an expenditure of
over 100000 in excess of the amount
usually incurred in the trial of such
causes. and that an emergency appro-
priation equal to this amount at least
should be made.
But there is another murder case on
the present term calendar in which a
defense has been interposed similar to
that interposed in the Jones case, name
ly, that of insanity, which cannot be
tried at this term of court, because of
the shortness of time intervening be-
tween this date and the end of the
January term. which ends on the first
of April. but which viii be tried dur
ing the April term, which opens on the
third of April, and in which this court
will be obliged to incur considerable
additional expense. [ refer to the case
of Territory of Hawaii VS.. Philip II.
Naone. Judging from the expense in
CURED in the Jones case am inclined
to the opinion that the expense Incl
dent to the trial of the Naone case will
exceed the expense usually incident to
the trial of the criminal causes at the
April term by about 100000.
I would. therefore recommend that
the Legislature be urged to appropri-
ate. as an emergency appropriation, the
sum of 100000. If all of this amount
is not required no harm will be done
by reason of the excess having been
appropriated.
Very truly yours.
w. ]. ROBINSON.
Third Judge.

the correspondence, in his answer to
this letter. The epistle from the Gov
ernor, moreover, is one that is apt to
