GRAND JURY
IS At WORK
Willie Crawford Was on
Hand, but as a
Witness.

Oh. but there were doings before the
Grand Jury yesterday! And Willie
Crawford was there. Willie was not
present, however, in the capacity of
Interpreter Not at all. The grand
iurymen wanted some expert informa-
ton @, the subject Of che ia and pake
pic and other subjects of that kind,
and it is whispered that Willie was
called as an expert with knowledge be-
fore the fact.
How much Willie told, and how
much he succeeded in not telling, of
course only the witness and the grand
jurymen can say, but when the witness
came out after somewhat extended
session. he was quivering like a great
mass of very pale lemon jelly. And so
the inference of those who were kept
in the corridor was that the late Chi
nese interpreter had not had the most
comfortable time in the world.
Still another man whose presence ex-
cited comment in the corridor was Y.
Amin, who is popularity supposed to be
au fait in the mysteries of Chinese
lottery, as seen from the inside. May
be the grand jury wanted to find out
what basis there was for this popular
belief. Anyway, they had a session
with Amin, and he came out with his
pongee coat somewhat disordered and
looking a bit ruffed in his mind. What
these appearances mean may be dis
closed as time goes on, and the invest
cations continue.
There were several other Chinese,
presumably wanted as witnesses, in the
Capitol corridor-the jury holding its
session in the old Throne Room-along
with Charlie Wilson and other local
celebrities. 1t is said that Wilson was
wanted to give some information about
the Pail road contract.
The direction that is being taken by
the grand jury's inquisitions, however,
is likely to lead to a lot more inter
esting things than road contracts, and
so if that was what Wilson is wanted
for he must play only a secondary part
An evening paper says that the Chi
nese gamblers have taken to playing
che-fa on credit, thereby making it
more difficult than ever to get con-
victions in such cases, but that will
not stop the grand jury, in all prob
1t wants facts, and is going
after them.
Clinton Hutchins acted as foreman
of the grand Jury yesterday in the alb
sence Of Mr.. Bowen, and the new Chi
nese Interpreter was also on hand.
One of the earliest indictments to be
will very probably be that
against Johnson, the murderer of little
Simeon Wharton.

lnent.
The petitions develop the fact that
remnants of government land in Homo
lulu have been occupied by private par
ties for fifty years under claim of title,
but without any legal title thereto.
By calling the attention of the gov
eminent to these defects, the parties
are enabled to settle their claims with
the government and perfect their titles,
or if they so desire to be warned
against the possible loss by the erec-
ton of improvements on the land.
The uncertain question of street lines
never strictly settled by anyone is also
brought to the attention of the gov
eminent and the property owner and
the line decided upon as the improve
mentS are made on the streets. The
accuracy required by the court in this
matter, together with the careful
scrutiny of such matters by the Ter
ritorial survey office, is a valuable set
Ting of boundaries between parties.
In short. the experience of the court
has shown that in the many inaccura-
cies found in the title and boundaries
the system is supplying a need. and
meeting the difficulty in a practical
manner.
1t is noticeable, in what a proportion
OF cases the accurate plotting of the
lands on the ground develops hitherto
unknown government remnants OF
land. and brings the matter to the at
tent1on of the applicant, and through
him if he chooses to perfect his title,
to the government authorities.
Another noticeable feature is the dis
covery of a large proportion of cases
IN which the government Communication,
reserved in the original award has
never been committed for with the gov
eminent.
A practical difficulty has been found
in the present law with regard to is
suing Land Patents on confirmation
of Awards. The law as at present in
terpreted restricts the government in
granting its Patents or Awards to a
clear and well defined portion of an
award. part of the boundaries of which
coincide with the boundaries OF the
award. Cases have come to the at
tention of the court where a large
award has been mapped and sold off in
blocks and lots within the original
lines of the award The party wishes
to perfect title to the portion owned
by him, by settling with the govern
ment, He can not do so without pro-
curing Patent to be issued on the
whole award or a well defined portion
OF it 1t would seem more reasonable
to alter the statute so that each owner
might deal independently with the gov
eminent, as to his lot.
1t seems that the Organic Act pre-
vents any change in Hawaiian Statutes
on the subject. SO it may be well to
nave the Legislature enact a statute
subject 10 the approval of Congress.
Respectfully yours.

WHERE TOM
PONG WAS
Brown Says Vida
Released HIM on
Bail.

s.The mittimus of the court con-
signs a prisoner to my custody said
High Sheriff Henry yesterday. No
Deputy Sheriff, nor anybody else, has
the right to interfere with prisoner
| after that This prisoner, Tom Pong,
was never in my custody at all, and
never in the Honolulu Prison.
Sheriff Brown of Oahu county has
rushed into the first edition of the
Star with an explanation of the where
abouts of Tom Pong during the inter
val that elapsed from the time of his
conviction until the writ of habeas
corpus was sworn out III the convicted
man s. behalf. the essence of which is
contained in the following paragraph:
"The facts in the case are these:
Tom Pong was convicted before Judge
Whitney on January ID and was fined
$50 and $40 costs. Notice of appeal
was at once given and the appeal per-
fected upon the defendant paying the
costs and $1.20, the cost of the appeal.
The defendant then gave a bond of
$50. Lam On going as surety. Assist
ant Sheriff Vida accepted this bond
and the defendant was released. Some
days later babeas corpus proceedings
were brought in behalf of the defen-
dant On the day that the papers in
the habeas corpus proceedings We're to
be served on the Deputy Sheriff, Lam
On brought in Tom Pong and surren-
dered him to the police. The papers
were then served on the Deputy Sher
if -
That is eminently satisfactory, as
far as it goes, excepting in a few par
ticulars. For instance, the Sheriff
does not state, among his facts, the
very important fact that while the
man was convicted in the forenoon, the
mittimus in his case was issued at
$50 p. N. of the same day. The NIT
timus consigned him at once to the
custody of the High Sheriff of the Ter
ritory strict observance of the law
would then make the High Sheriff the
only person competent to order the
man s release or bond. And this be
ing the law, what right had Assistant
Sheriff Vida to accept any bond?
What right would Sheriff Brown him
self have TO accept bond, under
these circumstances? 1t would seem,
to say the least of it. that there is a
decidedly loose practice here, which
would be much better corrected before
something worse comes of it than in
the ease of Tom Pong.
Possibly this is only another bit of
friction arising inevitably from the
failure as yet to properly adjust the
workings of the County Act, but it
cannot be adjusted too soon.
