carried out the instructions faithfully.
He cashed the orders at the postoilice
and deposited in the bank to Rego's
credit. No one asked him who sent the
money.
John p. Spalding, who was Rego's
deputy at the Koloa postohice, stated
that he had made out the money or
ders in question on the instructions of
Rego. The instructions were made out
so as to show Perreira as the remit
tee but no money was deposited with
him. Rego put the advices IN an cnve-
lope and gave them to Psfreira, who
had come into the postoilice. After
that Rego and Perreira had long con-
versation together in Portuguese, which
the witness did not understand.
Postofice Inspector Hare said that
IN statement which Perreira had
made to him and the District Attorney

knew that the money had been sent In
his name, and answered that he did.
He also admitted that he knew that no
money had been paid for the money or
ders.
District Attorney Breckons was the
next witness himself His testimony
was practically confederation of that
OF Mr.. Hare. The question was brought
ur as to whether Perrelra understood
what was said to him as no Interpreter
was employed. Breckons said that he
thought that he did as he gave intel
ligent answers to his questions.
Spalding was recalled and asked II
the batch Of money orders sent on May

LEGISLATIVE DUTIES.

From now on the members OF the
Legislature will be bombarded with
suggestions and commands as to what
they should do, how quickly 1t should
be done and whose program should be
put through. There is one set pro-
gram and only one that should be put
through-the platform promises to the
people. the identical personal and par
ty pledges made by nearly every mem.
Der OF the Legislature. Aside from
these the people expect the legislator
10 use common sense and honesty in
dealing with legislation.
One of the first demands made up
on the Legislature Is that its session
shall be short. This is very proper
object to have in view but the enact
ment of effective laws should not be
sacrificed to speed. The public will not
be complacent under a legislative pro-
gram that includes a general talk
against time, nor will the public well
fare be served by an attempt to make
of the Legislature a medium for rail-
reading laws through peIore the public
has any definite knowledge of what the
laws mean.
An instance in point that will not
make for legislative speed may be
found in the situation as it presents
itself to the public regarding the franz
ing OF an act to provide revenue for
the Territory. A few days ago the
Merchants Association spent a few
hours in general discussion of the tax
laws. Joint committees have been ap-
pointed by various business organiza-
tons. A tax law is intended to be the
result Of what few days deliberation
these committees can or will give the
subject, An ideal or competent tax
law cannot be framed in day. 1t may
suit individuals, but that does not fur

ed that he had arrested the defendant
and was certain that he understood
English.
During this Perreira had signified
a wish to make statement
AS the man was plainly labor
ing under a severe mental strain and
showed evident signs of distress, 1t was
thought best that he be permitted to
speak In Portuguese. and an interpre-
ter was sent for. j. A. X. Vierra soon
arrived and was sworn as interpreter.
Perreira stated that he had nothing 10
do with the money orders and did not
know why he was arrested. Beyond
this he declined to state further.
f3reckons stated that the Govern
ment had shown clear case against
the defendant and moved that he be
committed. He had, however, made
an investigation of Perreira's circum-
stances and found that he $4,000 bond
was prohibitive. For this reason he
was willing that the bond be reduced
to $500 which the defendant thought
heSould secure.
Attorney Correa, who appeared for
the defendant, stated that it did not
appear to him that guilty knowledge
OH the part of the defendant had been
shown. Perreira had trusted Rego,
who enjoyed an excellent reputation,
and had carried the orders as a matter
Of accommodation, without knowing for
a moment that anything was wrong
There was at least a reasonable doubt
on this question.
Commissioner Judd said that the rea.
sonabe doubt question was not fol
him. but for a jury, to determine. He
found sufficient cause to commit Per-
reira and did SO, reducing the bond tc
$500.

The situation Is full of nice points,
something like four.handed game of
chess. Only one man can win, but
two of the four have excellent chances.
Each is waiting for one Of the others
to make a move that will make his

Harris, or either of them, announce
their withdrawal, the atmosphere
would be very much cleared for tho
remaining pair. The cards, for va.
riety of metaphor can only express the
variety of conditions that go to make
mp the present interesting situation,

two men, each knowing what the 9th

Said a legislator today: Harris

ton, but matter to be carefully con-
sidered as to its possible results on

The game is by no means ended

the members have thus far found IL

Frank Harvey was willing to talk
about anything from the Speakership

he refused to bind himself in the mat.

bind himself.
When asked as to his attitude In the
matter, as to any possibility of with
