| The Attorney Generals department
has decided "a take over from the
County Attorneys Of the Territory the
prosecution of all felony cases. Yes
terday the following correspondence
| was exchanged between Acting At
| torney General E. c. Peters and Coun-
| ty Attorney Douthitt:
Honolulu, Oct S, 1905.
Hon. z. A Douthitt, County Attorney
for the County OF Oahu, Honolulu,
T. H.
Sir: II has come to my attention
through the public prints that severe
criticism has been made of this de-
partment by reason OF your intended
handling OF the criminal prosecutions
in this circuit at the pending term of
court. That criticism seems TO arise
primarily from the objection by GER
tain county authorities to the further
incurrence OF expense in the admin
istration Of your Office as County At
torney.
It was sincerely hoped by this de-
partment that your assumption Of the
burden of criminal prosecutions and
the consequent decrease in the amount
Of work required of this Office would
result in its additional efficiency.
This department is charged by law
with the responsibility of criminal
prosecutors and II neither desires to
shirk the labor OF il nor shift the re-
sponsibfIity TO the County Attorneys.
I would sincerely regret if by any
arrangement made with you, you were
to be hampered in the administration
OF your county affairs and I therefore
have come TO the conclusion that this
department viii continue in the prose-
cutiou OF a. riminal cases before the
Circuit Court and viii ask at your
hands alone the appearance before that
court in criminal appeals from the Dis
trict Court Of Honolulu.
This Is not intended, and I hope you
viii not so receive it, as discourteeus
TO you or your Office. But I feel that
the exigencies of the case require that
criminal prosecutions be handled in
the manner indicated.
! have the honor 10 be, sir,
Yours respectfully,
50 E. c. PETERS.

nony we submit in order that all cases
may properly be disposed Of.
There is nothing personal in the
matter. The Supervisors are ready,

Greatest Dam on Earth.

Fifteen years ago the highest An
in existence was the Furens dam Tin
France), the total height of which was
10 feet. Since then three very much
larger dams have been built In the
United States. These are the Croton
dam In New York, the Clinton water
works dam at Boston and the water
works dam neal Denver, on the South
Fork OF the Platte river. says Critten
den Marriott in November Technical
World Magazine. Each OF these AT
present holds the record in one re
spect or another; the Denver lam Is
the highest In the world; the Clinton
impounds the largest amount of water,
and the Croton dam contains the larg-
est mass Of masonry. But the Salt
River dam, when finished, will exceed
each Of these in It's own specially; IL
will be higher than Denver, will eS-
iced the Croton dam In masonry, II
will impound twice as much water as
all three put together. 1t will be 20
feet high from foundation to parapet,
will contain SOC, 900 cubic yards or
masonry, and will impound more than
a million acre.feet of water; that Is,
more than enough TO cover a million
acres Il, 500 square miles, TO a depth
of one foot. 1t will form a lake five
miles long and one to W miles wide,
covering an area of $4,000 acres. It's

The sunshine never had looked so
bright to Amy as on this glorious Sep.
TENDER day, as she stood on the
~vineclad porch Of her cozy cottage
and contemplated the thriving garden
and the velvety lawn. The city with
its distant haze Of smoke blurring the
sky seemed far away. The great
world Itself seemed to have retired
an immense distance from her little
Eden, aud all the noise and the strife
and the trouble seemed wholly away
and apart from the new life into
which she had come.
And all doubts and fears had van
ished, for there was Fred, strong and
tender and true, to stand between her
and every harm. All, Fred, and her
eyes grew tender and an ecstasy OF
Joy filed her whole being. or course

months since the springtime wedding
had been so full of happiness that the
entire future was rosy-hued.
While she still reveled in these
delightful day dreams she glanced
toward the street and was surprised
to see the figure OF a woman leaning
against the fence. The III was
poorly clad and bore OF her face the
unmistakable marks OF erring and
marred womanhood. She leaned
against the fence as though in pain
and her face showed much pathetic
evidence OF sickness and weakness

toward her.
