IGNORANCE SINNERS.
DIR. Felix Adler's Analysis OF Our
Public UnrfghteOusness.

From an address by Dr. Felix Adler.
Robbers at long range. franchise steal
ers, directors who loan money to one ar
other at one-third less than the market
rate. PRISONERS al long range-these last
are gentlemen OF good breeding, who
wear clean linen, who move in the best
society. yet they are PRISONERS. since they
adulterate the food we eat. or worse still.
the drugs used by the sick And so the
ugly list swells.
Long range sinners are also men Of
short range virtues; a captain OF preda-
tory wealth you consider a monster, since
he is the head Of a railroad which, ac-
cording TO statistics. kills every year one
in twenty-six Of its employees: but he is
not monster: he is a kind father and
husband: he has exquisite taste. is a
lover of flowers, an art eonnoisseur.
When you learn this you say he is not
monster. that he is not as black as
he is painted Then you eztenuate the
terrible guilt Of the men. The foolish
public thinks a man must be all black
or all white, but that is not so.
/ agree with the writer that the people
must be trained not TO extenuate crime
against the public because of private
virtues. 1t is advantageous % the capt.
talists to stop their crimes. Some men
of overwhelming individuality expand and

POLICE BAFFLED BY
ONE LITTLE GIRL

What the Honolulu police force tried
hard for over four days to do and con-
fessed that they couldn't, was accom-
Iplished yesterday morning in just an
hour and a half, by a single member OF
the High Sheriff's Department.
Since Saturday morning the police
had been scurrying about the country
like a lot of scared chickens, making
frantic efforts-so they claimed-to
find one little 13year-old girl. And
they couldn't do it. A mere baby had
baffled all the sleuths of the depart
ment. They had run their legs off fol-
lowing false scents, had had all sorts
of bum lunches, had chased wildly
across country to the most impossible
places, and in the end had had to con-
fess themselves beaten. The girl, Vir-
ginia Kaihe, wanted as the star witness
in the case against Antoine Foster,
charged with vicious crime against
the same little girl, could not be found,
And all the time she was where they
could have laid their hands on her in a
few minutes if they had thought
lof it. She was here in Honolulu all
the time, staying with her grandpar-
onts. And yet the police never thought
of looking for her there, with almost
ner nearest relatives.
Yesterday morning when Deputy At
torney General Nlilverton had to nolle
pros. the case against Foster because
the girl had not been found and Judge
De Bolt would not grant a continuance,
he went back TO his Office and cogitat-
ed. There were some things that had
a very strange look to him. II seemed
peculiar, to put it mildly, that all the
police force OF Sheriff laukea could not
lind a little l3-year-old girl, child
who could not get lost and whom it

'IAUKEA'S STATEMENT
WITHOUT GROUNDS
MilVerton Says There Is
A Fund To Pay
Hack Hire

If Sheriff Iaukea were better ac-
quainted with the details of the
work of his office, he would not be
constantly making statements which
turn out to be incorrect and without
foundation, is the opinion of the mem
bers of the Attorney Generals office.
The Sheriff's latest complaint against
the Department of the Attorney Gen.
eral is that it is trying to make him
pay for hack hire, etc, for the sub
poenaing of witnesses to appear be-
fore the Grand Jury. He claims that
he has no fund out of which such ex
penses can be paid.
In this statement, as in some 9TH
ers that he has made, he is wrong,
says Deputy Attorney General Fred.
Milverton. The Sheriff has fund of
$3.50 month, good until July /, to
pay just such expenses. The Board
of Supervisors, at the suggestion of
County Attorney Cathcart, appropri-
'ated this sum for the purpose of pay
ing hack hire and other expenses in
CURED by the Attorney Generals De-
partment in the summoning Of wit
nesses, etc,
But Sheriff laukea apparently does
not know of the existence of this
fund. To satisfy himself that it is
still in existence and available for
the purposes for which the Sheriff
says he has no money, Deputy Attor-
rey Milverton yesterday went to the
County Clerk and inquired into the
matter. The Clerk, he says, inform
ed him that the fund is there and
can be used. But the Sheriff seems
to have taken the word of someone
else, without taking the trouble to
verify its accuracy before making his
complaint against the Attorney Cen
eral.

Along the streets through which the
procession passed on it's way to the

of them joined in the march to the
grounds where the exercises of the af-
ternoon are being held
The bearing of the men of the Ma.

point. They realized that they were
for the first time under the command
of their new colonel, and they marched
accordingly-chests out, eyes to the

There is something in the atmosphere
something that is neither sorrow

this occasion is one on which they
