APPEAL TO
GRAND JURY

4 nm getting mighty tired ~ these
little lawyers Trying 10 make rcputa-
lions and win cases at my expense"
said High sheriff Henry yesterday.
and I am going 10 call the attention
OF the Grand Jury to this matter u
the confession ~ illadio Consoles, and
ask for a full investigation OF the whole
thing.
You see, Il was this way. Con-
sales did agree TO plead guilty TO muir
der In the second degree. This state
ment was made In my presence TO
chester Doyle. who was at no time
closer to the man than the distance
across the prison Office. There was
never any cruelty practlced toward
the man. and nobody in the prison ever
struck him. Consoles was very sick I'm
| the prison for about four months. No:
| don't know what was the matter with
him. The doctors said he had some
Kind OF Intestinal trouble. Anyway, we
had one doctor for him, and finally got
two. The man was yelling and shout
ing at the top of his lungs. and finally
he became such nuisance that we
had to take him out OF the hospital
and put him In a cell. There he had
watchers with him night and day. He
was In considerable agony, and used
TO thrash around a great deal and
sometimes his nurses would have to
hold him down. Wen. one day. when
he tried to throw himself out on the
| floor. one OF his nurses. fellow Porto
Rican. put his foot against the sick
| mans leg to hold him down.
THAT was the only time he was ever
touched in that way that l know of.
But Consoles was probably sore from
throwing himself about so much. when
he expressed a desire to withdraw his
plea Of not guilty and plead guilty TO
murder In the second degree. he was
told to sleep over 1t and let me know
his decision In the morning. He did
sleep over 1t, and he did let me know
the next morning. And | carried his
decision to the Attorney General There
was no cruelty used, and no duress
brought to bear on the man.
We'll, ! am tired of Il, and I'm going
to ask the Grand Jury to make q
thorough investigation. Then we shall
see who Is at fault"

BALDWIN WRITES
ABOUT MOLASSES

VIM. A. Baldwin writes the follow
seems to dispose of the molasses ques-
tor:
"In recent issue of your paper l
read en editorial suggesting that It
might be a profitable business for
somebody there to put up Hawaiian
molasses and cane syrup in suitable
containers for household use, and for
same to be exported for sale in the
mainland markets. 1t must be admit
ted tia. II appears very plausible on
the face of 1t, and i had given the
subject some thought and attention
thinking that It might prove a prof
table side issue connection with the
factory of the Haiku Fruit & Packing
Co. at Haiku. and my advice now to
anybody would be to go slow. The
home demand is very limited and the
business would necessarily have to de-
pend mainly on an export trade, and |
am inclined to think that 1t would be
an Improbable venture. The fact of
the matter seems to be this, that the
bulk of so-called New Orleans Mo-
lasses" and Pure cane Syrup" con-
tain only enough of the real thing
to flavor the principal ingredient, which
is corn syrup, commonly known as
glucose" This corn syrup or glu-
cose is manufactured in vast guam ties
in Chicago and other places in the
corn belt" About 100000 900 bushels
of Indian corn are used each year In
the manufacture Of glucose, and the
output is over 100000 tons, which Is
mainly shipped In barrels and can at
times be bought at wholesale for but
one cent per pound. From this 1t is
easy to understand that there Is al
ways plenty of available stock for mix
/ ing compound" molasses and syrups,
and that these can be put on the mar
ket at a minimum cost. Also / doubt
the ability of anybody but an expert
to know the difference between the
genuine and the compound" and
also very much doubt the Willingness
of the average person to pay the diff
ference in price to obtain the genuine
article. Glucose is now acknowledge
ed by scientists and by Federal experts
to be a healthful food, and is rapidly
getting to be so recognized by the
consuming public, who have for Sc
long looked on the name as bugbear
However 1t is simply pure corn syrup
, sometimes called corn sugar. some
times starch sugar, and its molasses
and syrup compound taste just as
well, are just as good food, and sell
at about half the price of the genuine
article. Again, the waste molasses
from the mills there could not be used
but 1t would need to be the first or
very best grade of molasses, and that
is often none too good with the pres
ent system Of reboiling low grade SUI
gars with the syrup.

ATKINSON
STARTS SOON

Advices received per the Alameda M.
dictate that Secretary Atkinson VIII
probably leave New York for Europe
IN the latter part Of this week or early
next. The Secretary was TO have been
In Washington on the Goth TO get let
tiers from the state Department ac-
creditlng him 20 the United states
Ministers at London and Lisbon. and
60 the American consular officer In the
Azores. with these letters In his pos
session. Mr.. Atkinson would be ready
to sail
II is his purpose TO go first TO Lon
don, of course. and consult with the
American minister there and probably
arrange the preliminaries for the trans
portation to- Honolulu of any laborers
he may succeed in securing. He Will
then go at once to Lisbon, and take
his passage from there to the Azores.
IL is not expected that he Will enter
into any negotiations with the officers
of the Portuguese government, although
of course there is no telling that there
wil0not be official interference of some
kind with his mission the more as
Consul Canavarro has probably sent a
full account of the project to his gov
eminent. II there should be any hitch
there, 1t will become part of the Sec
retary's business to smooth matters
over, and in this he will be able to
command the backing of the American
minister to Portugal.
Sailing from Lisbon. the Secretary
will proceed at once to Fayal, in the
Azores, and may also go to Funchal,
Madeira, and see the people it Is pro-
posed to endeavor to induce to come
to Hawaii and labor in the cane fields,
and make the preliminary arrange
ments with them directly. How long
he will have to remain there is not
certain, but he will probably stay for
several weeks, at least. The Secretary
is provided with data from which he
can make definite propositions, and or
dinarily it should not take long to con-
clude arrangements with people who
really wanted II come here The Por-
tuguese of tho Azores are canny lot,
and are moreover dramatically inclined
to slow movement. And they must
have time to deliberate upon and digest
the proposition that may be made to
them. Indeed, second agent will
doubtless have to be sent to accompany
them to Honolulu. The Secretary S
trip is intended merely to pave the
way.
The Territorial Board of Immigration
meets this morning at o'clock. 1t is
believed that matters concerning Secre-
tary Atkinson's trip to Madeira Island
will be taken up and discussed at
length
