PEARL HARBOR
INSPECTED
Guests of the Territory Spend
Pleasant Day Among
the L0ChS.

Secretary and Mrs. Straus, Con
gressman and Mrs. Longworth, Mr.
Straus Jr., Governor and Mrs. Carter
Chief Justice Frear, Associate Justice
| Hartwell, Secretary Atkinson and
many others, were guests of Admiral
Harbor on the U. S. S. Iroquois, Cap
tain Carter. The vessel started from
the Naval wharf about 10 o'clock af-
ter a salute of seventeen guns had
been fired in honor of the Secretary
and the marine guard had presented
arms.
The journey to Pearl Harbor was
over a pleasant sea. After introduce
tions Of the Honolulu people to the
distinguished guests had been made,
two large charts of Pearl Harbor and
its approaches, which hung from the
upper framework of the Iroquois, were
explained by Admiral Very. The Ad-
mfral showed the needs of the harbor,
the bearing it's development would
have on commerce and naval convent
ence and pointed out the special OBJ
jects of interest. Mr.. Straus was
deeply attentive and called his secre-
tary to take notes. Mr.. Longworth al
so familiarized himself with the geog-
raphy of the plan.
AS the Iroquois steamed into the
beautiful lochs, Secretary Straus said
that the harbor and the country about
it were finer in every way than he had
anticipated. Il have travelled much, .
he said, "and know the spell of the
Orient, but anything like this I have
never before seen. Tt is my first
glimpse of the actual tropics. You
must enjoy life here. We had been
warned against the heat and mosqui-
toes and have found neither. Mrs.
Straus says she is sorry we can't stay
longer and I feel that way too"
I'VE hope you will come back, some
time, Mr.. Secretary" was remarked.
Il don't see how we can stay away"
he answered.
The Longworths were equally charm
ed with the trip. With the Presidents
daughter and Mrs. Straus, were Mrs.
Richard Ivers, Mrs. George Davies and
Mrs. George r. Carter. AT the penin-
sula Mrs. F. NJ. Hatch came on board.
Luncheon for the party had been
sent to the Iroquois from the Univer-
sity Club and had been REINFORCED by
a chowder made on board. It was
served on the after deck. Besides the
chowder were roast chicken. lobster
salad. three kinds of sandwiches and
hard-boiled eggs.
After luncheon the visiting notables
and some of their hosts made an auto
mobile run to Wahiawa and Haleiwa,
late in the afternoon. Some
of the voyagers went back to Honolulu
by train, the rest returning to town
on the Iroquois, arriving at $3.50
o'clock.
Those present were@ Secretary of
Commerce and Labor o. 6. Straus,
Mrs. Straus and Master Straus and

COUNTY OFFICES
CLOSED YESTERDAY

The county offices were deserted yes
terday afternoon. The agents of the
Mcintyre building notified the tenants
of the building the other day that 1t
was desired to repaint the hallway
floors of the second story, and 1t was
suggested that If the offices were clos-
ed at noon Saturday the floors could
be painted in the afternoon and would
have that day and Sunday in which
to dry, before being tramped over by
honest citizens having business with
the. county. For some reason however,
possibly because of misunderstand-
ing, the county offices closed up at
noon yesterday. According TO reports
from the occupants of adjoining Of
fees. only one person called at
the vacant offices during the after
noon. That was a native boy from
Koolau who wanted warrant Tor
road work he had done.

INDIANA WILL
COME AGAIN
Altogether Likely that Steamer
Win Return for More
Japanese.

'I think it is altogether likely that
the charterers of the Indiana will take
advantage of their option on the
steamer to bring her here again for
the second trip" said Attorney A. V.
Gear yesterday, after he had been
aboard that vessel and held a consul
tation with her captain. There has
been no difficulty in getting passen-
gers enough for her for this trip"
1t is Mr.. Gears name that is signed
to the charter of the Indiana, not that
of Fred Maxine. as has been supposed
and given out. At least this is what
was stated yesterday by Captain John
Barneson in explaining the position
of the owners of the vessel in taking
away Hawaiian japanese.
I'VE were paid a lump sum for the
charter of the Indiana" he said, and
her is none of our affair. Mr.. Gear.

Honolulu with his family on the S. S.
Siberia, is not only the bigger part Of
the Barneson- -Hibberd company, in
whose fleet the Indiana belongs, but is
individually the owner of three-tenths
of the steamer, the company owning
six-tenths. He is proud of the liner
and inclined to resent a little the fact
that her arrival here is not looked
upon as an unmixed blessing.
"A good proportion of these Japa-
nese intend to leave Hawaii anyway"
he said, land once they get restless
they will get out, if not by the In
diana then by some other ship"
Fred Maxine, who is looking after
the emigrant end of the Indiana pas
senger list, is quoted as saying that
enough Japanese emigrants are ready
now to board the steamer to take up
all the available accommodations in
the steerage. These are ready to go
aboard now and will probably move
In and locate in the Indiana today or
tomorrow. No trouble of any kind Is

M|SDEME EANANTS
NOT KEPT IDLE
Short Term Prisoners Choose
Outdoor Labor to Dull
Confinement.

yes, misdemeanants are put Il
work" High Sheriff William Henry
said yesterday in reply TO a question
"They first sign an agreement to the
effect that the labor is done of thei,
own free will. This protects US from
any proceedings on their behalf which
might lead to their discharge before
they had served out their sentence.
Prisoners convicted of misdemea-
nors, the limit OF whose terms is one
year, do not have to break rock or
work in the quarries. They are sent
out to do such comparatively light
labor as is required in improving Ka-
piolani Park and the small parks
throughout the city. Really a great
deal of work of this kind has been
performed by this class of prison
labor.
''They readily agree to work, as a
rule, preferring labor out of doors
rather than idleness inside of the
dreary prison walls. It would amount
to punishment of solitary confinement
if they were shut up in the cells and
only let out into the yard for exercise
two hours each day.
These prisoners do not wear stripes.
They have plain blue denim clothes"
knowledge that the courts, a year or
two ago, released short-term prisoners
on writs of habeas corpus because they
had been subjected to Infamous pun
ishment," in that they were put to
hard labor, in convict garb and in
public view, together with the visible
fact of outdoor labor now being per-
formed by misdemeanants, suggested
the inquiry of the High Sheriff which
ELECTED the foregoing information.
The difference between felony and
'nisdemeanor'-or an offense that in
wolves infamous punishment and one
that does not--is thus defined in the
Revised Laws:
''The term felony as used in the
laws of this Territory, means an Of
fense that is punishable with death or
with Imprisonment for a longer period
than one year. Every offense not
felony is a misdemeanor.'

MARINES GIVE
PLACE To
COAL
Naval Station Sheds
Needed for Fuel
Supply.

The Marine Corps at the Naval sta
ton is to take up tent life. 1t must
give place to coal.
For several years the marines have
been quartered in barracks fitted up
in one end of the great coal shed
which was built nine years ago dur
ing the war with Spain. when troops
were being rushed to the Philippines.
and the Pacific had big fleet of
transports calling at this port to coal.
When the United States ceased to
keep such a large stock of coal here.
some OF the sheds became empty, and
with the establishment of a marine
corps at this naval station, barracks
were fitted up. and these have been
the home of the marines ever since
they first came to this naval station
Now that Uncle Sam proposes to
again keep a large stock of coal in
Honolulu. to supply the feet Of bat
tIeships and cruisers which are to rem
devious in this part of the Pacific,
there is need of the coal sheds again,
and the marines must move out.
Tents viii be provided and will no
doubt be fitted up so as to be very
comfortable. The troops at Camp Nc
Kinley or some of them, lived under
canvas throughout the existence Of
that camp as an army post.
As an earnest of the coal that is
coming for the United states it may
be said that four sailing vessels are
now actually on their way from the
Atlantic seaboard with coal for the
United states at this port. Three of
them are, the ship Bangalore, with
5000 tons: the ship Edward Sewall.
with 5000 tons. and the Dirigo, with
5000 tons.
