WORK FOR HILO
GRAND JURORS
BRIBERY OF OFFICIALS, GAM
BLING AND EMBEZZLEMENfr
THE SUBJECTS OF INSTRUCTION

HILO, March bribery of public
officials and gambling were two special
subjects regarding which Judge Par
sons instructed the grand jury for his
present term. The charge contained
the following paragraphs:
The court directs your attention to
Sections SO53, 1854 and 3O55 of the Re
vsed Laws, providing punishment for
those criminals who shall have been
convicted of bribing certain enumer-
ated officers or of accepting brides as
such officers, and for those guilty of
cOrruptly influencing or attempting to
influence the verdicts of juries. At the
risk of tediousness these sections and
others to which the court wishes to
direct your attention are quoted at
length:
mot long ago the arrest and trial, in
the District Court, of petty offender,
revealed the existence in HiDo of a we'll
equipped and uch-frequented gam
bling den, furnished with several rath-
err ingenious and apparently successful
devices for eluding detection. 1t is
possible that other similar resorts exist
within this jurisdiction today. In this
connection your attention is directed
to Section 3175 of the Revised Laws,
"In taking testimony in regard to
offenses alleged to have been commit
ted in violation of the section just
quoted you are instructed that no wit
ness, otherwise competent may shield
himself behind the statement that his
testimony might tend to incriminate
himself; no subsequent prosecution for
gambling, based upon such testimony
being permitted against the witness.
your attention is further directed to
Sections 1866 and 1867 regarding EN-
bezzlement of public moneys or other
property by public officials"

Chief Justice Whitfield Refuses the Proffered Hand of Attorney
 General Williams.

Jackson, Miss, January 26.-(Special. J. The capitol corridors have resounded to- day with reports and comments on a very interesting incident in which Chief Justice Whitfield of the supreme court and Att torney General Williams were the chief actors During the morning hours MT Williams went to the supreme court room to confer with the judges about the time when certain cases could be taken up and while there. sitting on Chief Justice Whitheld's desk, the chief justice walk ed in.
 The party spoke cordial good mornings, and Attorney General Williams smiled serenely and poked but his hand with as merry good morning as he could sum- mon up and as cordial as any man need want The chief justice stiffened his backbone and informed the attorney gen erai that he did not care to speak to him any more--or words to that effect The attorney general made very profound bow and told the chief justice that he was delighted, made his bow and left the room. This little unpleasantness has grown out of the Sandy Bayou case--Jus- tce Whitfield having delivered the opn- ion dissenting from the opinion of his two brother justices, and to expressions in which the attorney general has entered newspaper objection.

 No change appears in the business sit uation weather conditions making it fa- vorable for outdoor work but causing &C., emulation of heavy weight wearing ap- parel Reports from the northwest are favorable but most other sections have found bargain sales necessary to reduce stocks of winter goods. Lumbering oper- ations are seriously retarded by lack of snow and soft ground. Otherwise news of the week Is satisfactory, especially as regards the manufacture and distribution Of spring goods. Products for fall are also freely ordered, notably in footwear indus try and shipments of boots and shoes from Boston for the month thus far eclipse all previous records. Iron and steel plants have made steady progress and the manufacturing consumption of fuel is heavy. Labor discussions are not all set ted but there is little serious interrup- ton on this account Railway earnings thus far available for January show an increase of 13 per cent over last years, while foreign commerce at this port for the last week shows a gain of $1,411 ,709 in exports and a loss of S2,339SB in imports, as compared with the movement of the same week In 1905. Leather holds fairly steady for the tanners are anticipating early orders from shoe manufacturers. who are not well supplied with material. Quotations rule firm.

BUILDING GOES ON WITH GREAT VIGOR Prices of Many Commodities
 Tend Downward STRUCTURAL VERY ACTIVE Open Winter Is the Cause, But It Has Also Based Prices of Coal and
 coke-Retail Trade
 Affected.
STRUCTURAL VERY ACTIVE

New York January 26.--Bradstreets to- morrow will say:
 Barring a touch of cold weather in the west the season still retains it's previous appearance. a mild and open winter, with natural effects upon retail trade. indus trial operations in general, and prices of many commodities which tend downward.
 Perhaps the most notable feature at present is the continued activity in build- ing which has practically gone without break and which is making new records in prices of lumber and in demand for other materials Final distributions is still being stimulated by forced sales at retail and a few lines of wholesale business notably heavy clothing and rubber goods reflect uneasiness to buy freely for next seasons wants As to spring trade only optimistic reports are current
 Open weather favors the railroads as rarely before to handle the large business offering. A freer movement of cereals to market has made for ease in prices. The excellent condition of the farming inter- ests is shown by very heavy buying of agricultural implements at the west, and of fertilizers at the south, the latter ap- parently presagng heavy acreage in cotton the coming spring. Snow Is re- ported in many parts of the wheat belt.
 The demand for structural iron and steel is active on account of the open winter, coal and coke easing for the same reason, and all record contracts for pipe have been awarded with resultant large sales of low grade pig iron, Collections generally range from fair to good. Money is easier and in better supply Reports as to spring trade in eottons Is as opti- mistic as heretofore. Raw wool Is steady with more inquiry.
 Clothing manufacturers at the east are reported to have good sized stocks of heavy goods left on their hands.
 Reports of leading roads for the half of January are the best of which there Is record showing a gain of nearly b per cent over last year
