AS To KILLING
High Sheriff Henry Appoints
Successor to Kauai
Homicide.

sit is a most regrettable circum-
stance" said High Sheriff Henry yes
terday, when seen by an Advertiser re-
porter at the Oahu Jail, "that one of
the age of Jailor Enoeh Lowell, who
has been in the position from which
he has just been removed for nineteen
long years, should meet with an in
cident of the kind which caused his
removal y
Enoch Lowell, jailor at Lihue, Kauai,
the other day kicked japanese pris-
oner and the prisoner died on the day
following. What caused the kicking
of the prisoner the jailor himself will
not state. There are two witnesses to
the affair and they are both prisoners
and as near as can be gathered from
their preliminary testimony, at the in
quest, there was objection to the food
that was served at the Jail and the
prisoner had words with the jailor in
that regard, resulting in Lowell admin
istering kick, in the stomach, and
knocking out the man in his charge,
the man dying on the day following.
Sheriff Rice of Kauai sent a wire
less message to Honolulu requesting
that High Sheriff Henry go to Kauai
at the first opportunity and Mr.. Henry
left the city for the Garden Isle in
the steamer Mikahala on Thursday
evening.
Lowell waived examination before
the district magistrate On September
6 and was committed to the grand jury
under $4,000 bond.
81 appointed Richard Dias to take
the place of Lovell,'' said High Sheriff
Henry. "Dias is a part-Hawaiian and
married and he does not drink; think
he is. IA good man for the position.
Lowell made no statement to me in
regard to his kicking the Japanese
prisoner; he is reservfng whatever he
has to say until he is brought to trial;
he waived examination before the dis
trict magistrate and was committed.
l was very sorry that it became
necessary for me to remove Lowell,
but there was nothing else that could
have been done under the circum-
stances; there had never before been
any complaint against the man and
he had been nineteen years in the
service. Whether he had any excuse for
his treatment of the prisoner l am un-
able to say; / can imagine no excuse
except that of sef-defense and as far
as the evidence available is concerned
there seems no ground for self f-defense.
He is charged with manslaughter and
has been admitted to $4,000 bail.
The verdict of the eoroner's jury
was that the japanese prisoner had
come to his death through kick adj
ministered by Jailor Enoch Lowell.
After the kick the japanese complain
ed of pain in the stomach and the next
day he died. He stated that the jailor
had kicked him. There seemed no
cause for any quarrel between jailor
and prisoner except that the latter had
complained that the food he was re-
eeiving was no good. Nishimura was
the Jap's name.

The Hague, Aug. 7.-Before tho
commission dealing with humanitar-
ian usages In warfare Lord Reay to-
day gave Great Britaln's adhesion to
the declaration Of confidence In 1899
against the use of dum-dum bullets.
The main purpose OF the commissions
meeting was to seek to frame regula-
tions for balloons and other aerial ad-
juncts of warfare.
Russia, Belgium and italy had pro-
posais which were eventually formu-
lated by Count Tornielli as follows:
ANY balloons used for destructive
purposes In warfare should be dirig-
ibie. and be manned by regular mil
itary crews. The vote on the pro
posal stood 8 to In favor OF II. Blew
en- delegates abstained from voting.
France headed the directors, main
taining that the best course would be
to simply apply the rules already
existing on bombardment and thesuse
OF mines. Germany shared consider
ably In this view.
A second proposal forbidding tho
dropping OF projcctiles on undefcnded
towns and villages or tbc discharge
OF deleterious gases thereon, but per-
mitttng the dropping OF projectiics
over regularly beleaguered garrisons
was carried by vote Of 80 to 2.
The commission dealing with the
capture or destruction OF prizes and
the private maritime property OF an
enemy's citizens failed entirely to
make any progress.
