ROCHESTER'S
REPORTS.

Columbus, Ohio, January 90
Frank Rochester, expert account
ant in the office of Auditor of
State Guilbert, made report to-
day to Governor Harris of his in
vestigation Of the restaurant at
the Ohio Pentientiary, and the
way he figures, instead of the pro-
fits being $2,3 ,343 % to the state
they are but $1,129. This, how
ever, is brought about by calcula-
tions peculiar to experts on insti-
tutional work, and not by any
reasons of wrong account ting hav-
ing been made on the part of the
officials.
AS all example Of Mr.. Roches-
ter's discoyeries he shows that Is
prisoners are boarding at the eat
ing place, which would be saw
ing to the state of $795 40, or
making the total profits So, 1877 80.
But the person who has charge Of
the accounts at the restaurant
never seemed to take into consider
tion that the labor, heat, ice and
light used there were paid out Of
the penitentiary funds, and, as
there could be only an estimation
made cf the aggregate, as all were
Jumped in the prison accounts,
the expert accountant brings down
the total amount of the profit In
his way of calculating to ST., 1919
30 as net. In this he charges for
labor the total of 81, ,443 05; ice,
$317 55; heat, 5000, and $4S for
light.
Again, he points out in his re-
port that the building in which
the restaurant is housed cost the
state S3, 1928 30, and that the or
dinary repairs are paid out of the
penitentiary funds, or, in ether
words, the state pays the rent and
all expenses in case there are any
repairs needed whatever, and the
whole is probably charged to ordi-
nary repairs.
SO far as Clerk Shocks books
were concerned, they were abso-
lutely correct. The receipts of
the restaurant for year ending
in October were $25, 1913 80 and
the disbursements $23, ,491 As, and
out of the latter there was spent
for labor $500 66.
A peculiar feature of the ex-
pert's work is that he calls at
tention to the fact that prisoner,
out of the funds to his credit in
'front ofiice' may draw in money
only so cents at time, but If he
purchases restaurant checks he is
allowed two dollars worth. This
may be accounted for by the fact
that the officials refuse money be-
cause it could easily be used in an
escape, while the checks would be
no good whatever only at the eas-
ing counter.
1t is probable that some points
in the report will be looked into
by Governor Harris, and that the
restaurant will be deemed a
separate department of the prison
IN the future, and an accounting
will be kept there similar to- other
branches of the institution.
Clerk Shook is allowed to retain
20 per cent of the profits as COM
pensatlon MS steward. Attached
to the report are affidavits made
BY Steward Newton Miller, Guard
W, p. Donohoo, in charge of sub
'istance; Guard ID. j. Evans in
,harge of the kitchen, and Guard
J. NJ. Retts, of the storeroom, de-
'laring that no part Of the prison
supplies find their way to the res-
aurant.

RAILWA Y
VICTORY.
RAPID TRANSIT COMPANY WAS
SOAKED" TOO HARD BY THE
JURY.

The Rapid Transit Company won a
victory in the Supreme Court this
morning in the Wakeki Heleluhe
damage cases, the Circuit Court being
sustained in setting aside a verdict as
excessive. The verdict was for $1,000
for one plaintiff and $500 for another
and the trial judge ordered a new
trial on the ground that the amounts
was excessive. In sustaining the rul-
ing the higher court says:
"The verdicts were $1,000 for plain
tiff HeIeluhe and $500 for plaintin
KeaIohapauole. Each plaintiff was
over sixty years of age. Neither plain
tiff alleged or claimed any permanent
injury Plaintiff Heleluhe received a
broken collar bone and several bruises
about the body and had little use Oh
her left arm, was confined in bed
about a couple of weeks, and it was
six or eight weeks before the bandages
we're removed. The injuries to the
plaintiff Kealohapauole consisted OF
the dislocation of her left shoulder
Joint and several bruises on different
parts of the body and caused her to
remain in bed for about couple OF
weeks. Each plaintiff suffered a good
deal of pain and more or less OF a
shock from the injuries, and each IN
Cured a bill for medical attendance
of about SITS. Neither one lost the
value of any wages or earnings while
recovering from the injuries The
horse and buggy in which plaintiff
were driving at the time of the acct
dent belonged to the queen.
con the whole, we cannot say as a
matter of law that the trial judge
abused his discretion in granting new
trials on the ground that the verdicts
were excessive, although we might
not have found that the verdicts were
excessive if that was the question be
| fore us"

CASES
ARE NOW COMING
THE MORMON CASE" TRIAL RE-
SUITED IN CONVICTION YES
TERDAY AFTERNOON.

George Kekauoha defendant in the
Mormon case" which has been on
trial in the United States District
Court for eight days, was found gull
ty of committing adultery with Anna
Liilii on ebruary IL last, by the jury,
after over two hours elaboration. AS
reported in yesterdays Star, the case
went to the jury at O'clock but a
deadlock developed, three of the
twelve holding out for acquittal for a
long time before they were won over.
1t was 1920 o'clock when the verdict
was announced.
The case has been of more than usu-
al interest from the manner in which
volved The defendant and most of
the witnesses belong to this church,
and although he and his paramour,
Amia, had confessed their unlawful
relationship in the church at a meet
ing attended by over dozen persons,
and had been forgiven by the church
formally, a strong effort was made to
withhold the testimony of these W.T.
nesses to this confession, on the
grounds that the confessions were
privileged communications" as be-
tween priest and penitent The court
however, ruled against this and the
testimony was admitted.
The testimony of the witnesses in
I the case was so very contradictory
that Immediately after the trial Jennie
Kekauoha, wife of the defendant, was
arrested on a warrant charging per
jury, and it is probable that a number
of other arrests will be made for the
same offense. Poi Kekauoha, broth
err of the convicted man, was indicted

COMING
MATURITY COMPANY INVESTIGA-
TION MAY LEAD TO SOME PROS
ECUTIONs FOR ENLIGHTENMENT

Wade Warren Thayer, appointed as
special counsel by Attorney General
Hemenway to investigate and prose-
cute the matter of the Hawaiian Re-
atty & Maturity Company, has been
looking into the case today somewhat
closely He states that he has not
yet decided on any plan of action, but |
has several in view. 1t will be some |
time yet before he can form any idea
of the amount Of the losses which
hundreds of poor Hawaiians, and 9th
ers have suffered.
Mr.. Thayer stated this morning that
he had at first thought that action mi
bankruptcy would be the best way tot
get at the matter, but is now inclined
to think that he may be able to prove
that the company's method of receiv-
ing deposits was unlawful and con-
trary to the provisions of the charter
under which it was incorporated I'll
this can be proven, it may be possible
to follow it up with embezzlement
charges, and thus get the matter into
the criminal courts, which is the only
thing that will amount to anything, as
the money is gone, and there is no
hope of recovering any to speak Of
Mr. Thayer has about $500 in
claims which have been handed to him
since the matter was placed in his
hands, and some of these show evil
dences of manipulation that may lead
to disclosure of some of the methods
of the fake concern. For instance IN
the claim of Christiano Fernandez, ne
shows receipts for sos paid in, while
his pass book, which was supposed to
have been filled out simultaneously
with the making of the receipts, only
shows S5S. If the book corresponds TO
the office books, then it will be very
evident that part of the money never
was noted in the books at all.
I The many hundreds of depositors
who lose their money, are not the
same as the stockholders, of whom
| there are comparatively few, and OF
the total of $50 shares at $40 each,
about 2,SOO were held by the Kent
wells, the rest being distributed among
Chinese and others in from one to ten
| shares each,
Registrar Hapai is still digging into
the books of the company but rather
despairs of any tangible results. Ac-
/ counts are altered in many places, and
whole pages will be crossed out with
pencil, while there seems to have been
no uniform method of posting.
