WONG KWAI WAS
NOT A DODGER

Judgment by default was given in
the suit of H. Hackfeld & Co., Ltd,
against Wong Kwaj with the Brewery
company and /. Rubinstein as garni-
defendant that the plaintiff bill of
costs for $29.15 would be presented to
M. L. Simonton at 8 a. m. today for
taxation.
Wong Kwai, however, does not SUBJ
nit to the proceedings. His attorney,
G. w. Ashford, yesterday afternoon
filed motions to vacate service of sum-
mons and to stay execution and open
default. Judge Robinson made an
order staying execution until the other
matters are heard and determined, ap-
pointing Monday next for hearing.
An affidavit by Wong Kwai says he
returned from his plantation at Puma
luu, Oahu, on July 81 and was informed
by his cook that certain paper on his
desk had been left at the house by a
policeman. He had been absent at Pu-
naluu about week. Between the date
Of the issue of summons, July II, ana
the date of affidavit, he had been upon
the island of Oahu and, except when
at Punapu or going or coming between
there and town, was always to be found
at his Office on Smith street or his resi-
dence on Fort street, and he had not at
any time been in hiding or concealed,
or in anywise attempting to conceal
himself or to elude or avoid or evade
the service of summons.

HOW JONES' BODY
WAS IDENTIFIED

General Porter, who returned to the
United States on July IA, in a news
paper review tells an interesting story
of the discovery and Identification of
the remains of Paul Jones. THE vari-
Gus developments in the Identification
of the body he says. formed sue
cession of extremely gratifying sur
prises. 1 was positive, from the loca-
ton, that the body must be Paul
Jones', but l was not prepared for the
remarkable accuracy with which our
discoveries comported with the histori-
cal records of his sickness and death.
Most wonderful of all was the au-
Dr. Captain, with the assistance of
other anthropologists. 1t disclosed a
fibrous tissue where the left lung had
been affected. confirming our knowl-
edge that Jones suffered from bronchial
pneumonia. The viscera were in per-
feet preservation and there were shown
all the symptoms of dropsy, a disease
that we know he had, and most strik-
ingly of all, the symptoms of nephritls,
the disease from which he died. That
these symptoms should be SO marked,
o.: indeed, marked at all, in a body
from which life had passed 113 years
before, was nothing short of amazing.
f"I was also amazed when, ON OPEN
ing the casket and removing the linen
winding sheet. which, by the way, was
in excellent preservation, to observe
how closely the countenance comported
with the bust by Houdin, which the
anthropologists had to guide them. The
face was bit shrunken over the cheek
bones, but in no spot did the measure.
ments of the body differ from those of
the mask by over two millimeters. The
resemblance was perfect, even to the
disfigured lobe of the left ear. The
teeth were as we know them to have
been in the Admiraps day, and the hair
was brown, tinged with gray"
Gen. Porter said he had worked for six
years in the endeavor to locate and iden-
tify the body, but refused to say to no "
great an expense he had been put.
Concerning the ceremony OF the trans
fer of the body he said: THE parade

preston made upon me as the French
infantry and cavalry saluted the dead,

Acting Governor Atkinson has dis
covered that a law OF the session of
1905. and most wholesome law In his
estimation, has remained dormant for
its approval though enacted that it
should take effect from and after the
date of its approval"
This Is Act 6S, Providing for the
Parole OF Prisoners" approved by Gov
ernor Carter on April 90 The Acting
Governor yesterday ascertained that
hone OF the boards of prison inspectors
for the respective judicial circuits had
taken the preliminary step for carrying
out the law prescribed as their duty in
the first section of the act, thus;
The boards of prison inspectors Of
the Territory are hereby empowered
and directed to make rules and regula-
tons snder which such prisoners may
be ,paroled. and such rules and regula.
tons shall go into effect when approved
by the Governor
1t was found, on consulting the cor.
respondence files of the executive de-
partment. that three of the boards had
organized, but had done moth
ing further, and that neither of
the other two had even made
that much progress, so far as reports
had been received. Those organized
are the second district with e. b. Car
ley chairman. the third with e. e.
Gliding chairman and the fourth with
Il. n. Holmes chairman.
II understand that nothing has been
done thus far In making rules and
regulations as directed by the law"
Acting Governor Atkinson said after
finding how the matter stood, "and I
am writing to the different. boards of
inspectors on the subject.
ITO save time and to help tine boards
as wells l am working on a draft of
rules and regulations myself
THE idea of parolng prisoners Is
expressed lin the law. where II says:
no parole snail be recommended by
any board of prison inspectors unless
1t appears to such board that there is
strong and reasonable probability
that the prisoner concerned will live
and remain at liberty without violating
the law, and that his release is not in
compatible with the welfare of society
nor unless such recommendation Is en-
dorsed and approved by a majority OF
such board. No parole shall In any

Yet Notwithstanding the strenuous

in trust for the beneficiaries of the es

PRISONER PAROLE
TO Be GIVEN EFFECT

but where II may yet be right as a
matter OF humanity to grant him pa
role. The object OF the law is to give
a man chance outside of prison
walls.
''One of the rules I propose is that no
prisoner able to work shall be paroled
until sufficient employment for his
maintenance Is guaranteed to him by
responsible parties, the idea being that
he shall not be loafer or a charge
upon the town. You knpw a paroled
prisoner may always be taken back if
he does not behave himself. This the
law itself provides.
Another thing is that not only must
a paroled prisoner conduct himself
honestly and with respect for the laws,
as the act requires, but one who fails

abstain from Intoxicating liquors.

conditions propose to put in the regu-

MITCHELL ARRAFGNED.
Oregon Senater Hailed to Court on
Charge Of Working Graft Game
Against Uncle Sam.

Judge Bellinger's court at Portland,
Oregon, was crowded Tuesday when
the time arrived for Senator John
Fl. Mitchell to plead to four indict-
ments found againts him by the late
federal grand Jury.
In a plea of abatement Senator
Mitchell challenged the acts of the
late federal grand jury by charging
specifically that Jurors w Robertson
and Carl Phelps, the original fore
man and secretary, respectively, had
been legally excused for the term
pending investigation; that Jurors
Frank G. Buffum ard George Feeb-
Ter had been sworn in some time az
ter the grand jury had been en-
panelled; that Juror George Gustin
was not citizen Of the United States;
that Jurors Frank Bolter and Joseph
Essner were not taxpayers, as requir-
ed by the law, and that District At
torney Heney was disqualified in many
ways besides being prejudiced.
The plea Of abatement was based on
the case wherein Senator Mitchell is
accused of accepting pay through the
law firm Of Mitchell & Tanner, to ex-
pedite land titles before the land de-
partment at Washington, in behalf of
Frederick A. Kribs.
Judge Alfred S. Bennett,a S attorney
for Senator Mitchell, announced that
there was a question Of moral turpi-
tude involved in the case, where Sen
ator Mitchell is accused of accepting
$4,000 from A. D. Puter and therefore
be would waive all legal technlcali-
ties and be ready to proceed to trial
without delay upon the issues at
stake.
