CIRCUIT COURT IN SESSION.

The Circuit Court of the Second
Circuit opened Its June term last
week. The Trial Jury was not
called until Monday of this week
that unnecessary expense might be
saved the Territory and that the
representative of the Attorney
Generals Department could attend
both juries and give his assistance
to each.
L. Won Tempsky was chosen
Foreman of the Grand Jury.
The charge of the court, aside
from the usual formal parts was
as follows:
1t is right and duty to in
vestigate all matters relating to
the administration of Territorial
and County affairs, and on this
head, l wish to call your special
attention to the following:
1t seems that an impression has
gone abroad that elective officers
are only responsible in the dis
charge of their duties to those who
elect them, but you must remem'
ber, that as Grand Jurors, you are
instrusted by those very electors
and the public at large with the
vigilance that those duties are dis
charged faithfully and honestly.
Therefore / charge you, to care
fully investigate and report upon
the following matters, some OF
which are becoming notorious in
this community. 1t has been
noticeable the neglect of duty and
lack of discipline on the part Of
several police officers of this town
some having time and again been
suspended for drunkenness.
The deplorable condition of the
streets of Wailuku should be q
matter for your investigation.
The closing up of certain public
roads by some of the plantations
in this County should also have
your attention.
The loose expenditure of public
moneys should have full investi'
CATION by you, the lack of proper
checking of vouchers, that is the
lack of time given this matter by
officials, should be looked into.

About week ago we received
some exceedingly handsome. Shoes

them cheaper than any other store

soft, elegant Romeos. They will
fit you like glove. And our snug,
comfortable Mems Embroidered
Slippers are nice to slip on when
YOU come home in the evening.

After Sitting for Four Days Grand Jurors Find
Eight True Bills and Present Indictments
Makes Final Report.
GRAND JURY ROASTS POLICE.
Recommends Dismissal of One Officer and that Reinsate
n1cnts be made where Officers are Guilty of Second
Offense of Drunkenness.

You have the right to summon
before you any and all officials
whom you have reason to believe
can throw light upon any subject
matter being investigated, with
the books and papers of their office,
and for this purpose you can divide
yourselves into committees which
should report to the main body,
and the entire Grand Jury would
then act upon the report.
The scope of your investigations
is practically unlimited, as to mat
ters touching upon Territorial and
County affairs.
wish to call the particular at
tention of this Grand Jury to the
matter of the secrecy of your doings
in the Grand Jury room. Matters
which were deliberated upon by
the Grand Jury at the last term,
so | have been informed, and patti.
cularly as to how certain members
had voted upon certain matters
which were passed upon by them,
was given out by one or more of
it's members. / charge you that it
is very fagrant violation of the
law for any Grand Juror to divulge
such matters, and this Court will
not hesitate to visit with serious
consequences such violation. The
reason for this secrecy is apparent.
1t is not easy to influence the action
of the Grand Jury if the people
outside are ignorant of what is
going on in the Grand Jury room,
but it is quite certain that in case
any of your acts should be made
public, attempts would be made to
influence you. In case any person
or persons should approach you
for the purpose of influencing your
actions, such conduct should be
Immediately reported to the Court.
Each witness and all interpre-
ters should be admonished to keep
inviolate what transpires in his
presence in your deliberations.
trust that you Will conscien-
tiously with the Importance of mat
ters brought before you, carry out
your work expediciously and as
economically as possible.
In order to obtain good results
from Investigations of Grand Juries
instruct you that you acquaint
yourselves with the findings and
recommendations of any former
Grand Jury, for the purpose of as
certaining whether or not such
findings and recommendations
have been carried out.
The Court then appointed L. Won
Tempsky as foreman.
The Jury sat from day to day
and made their final report on
Saturday and were discharged for
the term.
Their report is as follows;
In the Circuit Court OF the
Second Circuit, Territory of Ha-
waii June 1907 Term.
REPORT OF THE GRAND
JURY.

Your Honor:
We the undersigned Grand Jur-
! ors of this Honorable Court, beg

ing cases, ami have disposed of the
same III the manner hereinafter set
forth, to wit;
True Bills found and Indict-
ments presented.
/. Territory of Hawaii V. Kazi
Fikizo. Assault and Battery with
a Weapon obviously and immi-
nently dangerous to life.
2. Territory of Hawaii V. Mai
Wal Burglary 1st Degree.
3. Territory of Hawaii V. All
Tuck Burglary lst Degree.
4. Territory of Hawaii v. Kazi
Fiklzo Assault with intent to Com
nit Murder.
5. Territory of Hawaii V. Flu.
gioka Keichi. Assault with intent
to Commit Murder.
6. Territory of Hawaii V. All
Choon alias Akuna. Larceny 2nd
Degree.
Z. Territory of Hawaii V. Anto-
Mo Seyer. Assault and Battery
with weapon obviously and inn
minently dangerous to life.
s. Territory of Hawaii V. Ra-
mon de Conception. Mayhem.
In the following case, after due
investigation we have declined to
Indict, viz
Territory of Hawaii V. David
Taylor. Forgery.
Matters other than the above to
which our special attention was
called by your Honor, we wish to
report as follows.
The charges against certain of
the police officers were investigat-
ed, and we find that the methods
proceeded by the head of the Police
Department are very lax, and that
discipline is not maintained in
manner compatible with the most
efficient service expected of this
very necessary body. We very
strongly condemn the practice of
temporary suspension as a punish
ment for drunkenness, more es-
pccially so when the offense has
been repeated more than once.
The removal of Solomon Hawai-
hoa as an officer of the Wailuku
Police force is imperative as he has
proved himself utterly incapable
OF the trust reposed in him. 1t
should be demanded of the Sheriff
by the proper authorities that in
future all cases # drunkenness of
officers shall be treated in the
most severe manner, and that
officers found in this condition
should be summarily discharged
The members of the Grand Jury
as a body have seen for themselves
the condition of the streets in the
town of Wailuku and the filthiness
of the surroundings which prevail
on Market Street especially, and
on all other roads throughout this
town, This matter should be
brought very forcibly before the
road officials and the Sanitary In
spector, and they be compelled by
the authorities to attend strictly to
their duties.
In the matter of auditing the
accounts and expenditures of public
moneys, we find the work being
carried on in as an efficient man,
ner as is possible under the pre-
Valllng circumstances. 1t ls well
known that districts such as Molo-
kai, Kahakuloa, Keanae and Kau-
po cannot receive the attention or
inspection that other districts do
which are more centrally located,
The fact that the road lunas in
outlying districts who have the
handling of Public funds are hea-
Willy bonded sufficiently guarantees
the County against any financial
loss,
The matter of closing, by the
Pioneer Mill Co. of a certain road
at Lahaina known as Puukoa, re-
ceived the attention of a special

The warrants of the state were no
longer at a discount, but were paid
on presentation. The bonds of the
state rose to a premium Of 2 per
cent. The charitable institutions of
the state no longer ran on borrowed
money. The only debts remaining
against the state when Bradley went
out Of office were the unredeemable
school bonds, about 100000, that
run through all administrations, and
are never intended to be paid. and a
balance of one million bonded debts
of bonds not due and never present

Of Kentucky under Democratic adj
ministrations, will be shown when
the general assembly meets next Jan.
uary," says a Democratic contempor-
airy To hear them speak of improve
ment within the last few years would
lead stranger to believe that the
Democrats have just come into power.
II is quite an admission for them to
even intimate that there has been
room for improvement, since Mr..
.Beckham has been governor for near
~ eight years, and the party has
been in power for decades. But most
interest in this assertion arises from
the fact that Gen. Percy Haly is pres
ident of the board. which controls all
these state institutions. II General
Haly has already brought the charit-
able institutions to a degree of per-
lection from the condition in which
the Democratic party had plunged
them, he has been greatly maligned
especially by Hon. John X. Hendrick
our fellow townsman, and gentle
man of probity and honor. Judge
Hendrick said of Haly in his famous
Nioholasville speech: Then, with
cleaning optics. he Governor Beck
ham) looked over the situation in
search of fresh subjects for executive
preferment. and he discovered that
the secretary of the (state) commit
tee was one. p. Haly. and he made
him assistant adjutant general of
this great state, and his chief quail
fication is that he does not know
Calling gun from a coffee pot" But
then Percy's qualifications for run
ming the state institutions are per-
haps. of a higher order than his mil
itary equipment. At least, he is sup
posed to know the difference between
an appointment to a position in 8
state institution and the civil service:
and as long as the men in charge of
the state institutions make the re-
ports concerning them, We may ex-
pect that, zone of the most marked
evidences of the vast improvement in
the management of the charitable in
stitutions of Kentucky, under Demo
cratic administration, will be shown
when the general assembly meets in

A joker last night caused much
annoyance to a large audience at the
Stratton theater and came very near
breaking up the show. There were
two exhibitions Of moving pictures at
the theater yesterday. One of the pic
lures shown was that OF a man eating
a raw onion, while a number OF per-
sons stood around him holding their
noses and wlping tears from their
eyes. The joker saw the picture in
the afternoon and decided to make
It real.
When the picture was shown at
the evening performance there came
a sneeze. then a volley of sneezes. and
in a moment the audience was in an
uproar. People were sneeZlng and
coughing and wiping their eyes, ana
many were obliged to leave the thai
ter.
The joker had scattered SNUFF from
one OF the balconies, and the electric
fans did the rest. The police were
called but failed to find the joker
