their skates, was seriously hurt last
night while on duty, by being thrown
on the floor of the fastening-room by
a man named Riley. The latter was
having a pair of skates fitted to his
shoes and became angry at the lad.
Without warming Riley reached
down. picked the boy up in his hands.
and, raising him to level with his
chest. threw him to the floor. The boy
landed on his head and back. The fan
stunned him, for at first he did not
move but he breathed, although faint

and the boy was sent To the Queen

! She says that he has even spit up blood.
| Blows such as this in the police sta
tion cells are not unprecedented. Men
! have been beaten to cause them to make
statements Sometimes the men are
innocent and sometimes they are
guilty, but when the police want infor-
nation they beat it out of their victims.
Blows upon the face with the open

owner of the hand, have been frequent.
| When exasperated the police have been
known, and seen by outsiders, to re-

of Forestry with that gentleman
Jared Smith. director of the HaWaIl

matters in Hawaii. 1t was grand
ouportunity for Loebenstein TO talk on
matters which were entirely familiar
to him. and it is understood that ne
boosted Hawaii's interests way up.
Mr.. Loebenstein stated yesterday
that the report of the House Commit

THIRD DEGREE AS GWEN
AT THE POLICE STATION
Native Prisoner Says Ills Ribs We're Broken by
Beating Given Him in the Cell
by Policemen.

From the depths of the cells at the
police station comes a story of police
brutality toward prisoners confined
there that would do credit to the in
auisitors of the dark ages, and one man,
who is said to have undergone punish
ment at their hands, is to face the
Judge this morning to be tried for an
offense which his family says is ground
less.
Palenapa, Hawaiian, residing on
the slopes of Punchbowl, was arrested
last week Thursday and charged with
larceny. From his little home on
Punchbowl the police gathered up lot
of stuff, mostly clothing, which they say
was stolen by Palenapa. This stuff is
now at the police station to be used as
evidence against the man.
On Thursday night, so the tale comes
from the cells, Palenapa was visited by
three officers. They questioned him
concerning the plunder. Insistence was
placed upon his answers being such as
to ineriminate him. Paienapa denied
that he was guilty. Then he was made
to stand up and was backed against a
wall. An officer stood on either side OF
him, each holding an arm of the pris-
oner As his refusals continued the in
quisitors began to be more insistent,
and finally blows were resorted to.
The blows came all from the police
and Palenapa received them. They
were hard blows with closed fists. Fin
ally. one terrific blow landed on the
mans ribs on the left side and another
quickly following it. Palenapa almost
collapsed. That was the end of the in
QUESTION. Tor, so Palenapa says, two
ribs were broken He did not receive
medical attention at the station. He
was not sent to the hospital for treat
ment. A medical officer looked at the
red spot on his side, said nothing, and
nothing has been done since to ease the
pain.
This is the story which Palenapa told
his wife last Monday. From Thursday
to Monday she was not permitted to see
him. When she was finally admitted to
the iail-yard Palenapa told her not to
embrace him and then told her of the
blows he had received. He showed her
the spot over his ribs and she saw
large red mark She states that the
story of the assault is as he told 1t TO
her. and it is as given above. She
states that when Palenapa coughed he
had to siraN his arms about his chest
IN side. for fo dAugh heavily hurt him.

'sxD Of TFHE IAUKEk-
KALAN|ANAOLE CONTEST
aMail Special to the Advertiser.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 81
The only definite development of the
period since the last Hawaiian mail
left here, which is of particular inter
est to Hawaiian readers, is the settle
ment of the contest of Delegate kala-
nianaole.
The last chapter of the contest was
entirely without feature. Chairman
Driscon secured the signatures of all
the members of the committee on cleo
tions No. 3-Democrats and Republi-
7. cans-to the report, although Repre-
sentative RandeII, of Texas, only con-
Cured in the resolution that kalania-
naole was entitled to the seat. Repre-
sentatives w. E. Humphrey, Marshal
Van Winkle and Frank b. Fulkeeson,
all Republicans, concurred in the report
of the chairman ''in all respects, ex-
cept that any of the ballots cast should
be rejected. -
With this unanimity, regarding the
resolutions. the matter was disposed of
In the House without any debate and
with only a formal vote. 1t was
brought up by Chairman Driseolf soon
after the House assembled yesterday
and disposed Of in less than two
gninutes.
That marks the end of the contest.
But the general deficiency bill. later in
the session, will carry an allowance of
$4,000 each for Delegate Kalanianaoie
0aad for Curtis Iaukea, to cover ex-
tipenses of conducting the contest. This
g1s in accordance with the usual practice
IN such matters.

JAPANESE FAMINE
EXAGGERATED

TOXIC, March S1.-A careful ex-
animation of conditions in the famine
districts make it clear that while the
distress is very severe there has been
considerable exaggeration in some of
the accounts. The deaths that can be
directly traced to starvation are prac-
tically nil.
In addition to the great crop short
age, which in some places was only 2
per cent. on the average, the winter
was exceptionally severe, and this re-
lted in considerable mortality
among the aged. Yet the death rate
in these districts was not abnormally

been far greater had it not been for

It is understood, however, that some
OF the business people here are not

to the fact that they have interests
