POLICE FORCE
AND ITS WORK
Statistics of Past Nine Months
Show Big Increase in
Efficiency.

In view of the fact that Sheriff Tau
kea mas stated that he is in need of
| a larger appropriation to carry on
| his work properly and is intending
| to make an appeal to the Supervisors
/ TO vote him an increased amount of
| money, the following figures of the
| work OF the police should be of interest
to the public. These figures show that
the work of the county police depart-
ment has increased to a considerable
extent since the first of the year. while
at the same time the appropriation
| mas been cut down twenty per cent
The cut has come directly on the men
employed, in the country districts, for
instance. the officers receiving now
only forty dollars a month, out of
which they have to supply themselves
with horse and provide for the ami
mails keep. The specials on the city
force are often on duty for fourteen
to eighteen hours at a stretch. doing
duty during, the day, just now, in at
tendance on the various courts and
juries, and putting in the nights in
running down and experimenting law
breakers.
For the nine months ending Septem-
Der 80 in 1906 and for the correspond
ing months of the present year, the
number of arrests in the county are
2766 and 1899, an increase for the pres
ent year of nearly seventy a month,
being twenty-three per cent. In the
number of convictions, showing that
the police have not been working hap
hazard for the mere sake Of making a |
big showing and wasting their efforts |
by hauling in the wrong men for the !
crimes, the increase for the present (
year is still more surprising, being
over twice as many as in the first |
nine months of 1906, the convictions
the fines and costs collected I
and paid over by district magistrates
to sixty-eight per cent. more than
those turned into the Territorial treas
ury under the former administration
with more men at work and consider
ably more money to work with.
The reduction in the number of men
on the force today is not so great as
the reduction in the money voted for
their support, the appropriations hav-
ing been cut down thirty per cent,
while it was only found possible to
reduce the force by twenty per cent,
the difference having to be made up
by cutting the mems salaries. AS has
been stated, the pay of the country
police is forty dollars a month, while
some of the Honolulu specials are
drawing as little as sixty dollars a
month and doing much more work
han has ever been asked of such Of
icers before, for a great deal Of the
work of these officers does not show in
he statistics. 1t can be seen, how
,ver, in any walk about the city, which
lever was so quiet and orderly be-
ore The prevention of crime and the
of the members of the ]
criminal class by prompt action shows
is effect without having to have any
igures to prove it.
In 1906 the average number of men !
IN the police payroll was one hundred
md three. Today Sheriff Iaukea has
,nly eighty to police the county,
nut of one out of every five, with the ,
our men left on the payroll working
or less money per man than for

H. HACKFELD ARRIVES.

The German ship H. Hackfeld, for
merly the Ecuador, arrived yesterday
morning from Hamburg, bringing
about $500 tens of cargo for this port,
the largest shipments being 2400 tons
of fertilizer and 5000 barrels of cement.
She also had large consignment of
liquor on board. She was towed in
by the Intrepid shortly before noon,
taking her place alongside of the Hack
field dock, where she started at once to
discharge her cargo.
The Hackfeld had rather a hard time
getting alongside the dock, as there
was fresh northerly wind blowing
and there is no donkey engine on board
with which to warp the ship up to the
wharf The work was in charge of
Assistant Harbormaster Trip, who
saw that everything was completed
according to Hoyle.

TEXANS TROUBLE.

The following brief account of the
damage done to the American-Hawai-
ian steamship Texan should prove of
interest to the local waterfront men.
She has been here many times and is
now coming here from Seattle and Ia
coma.
The Texan which arrived at San
Francisco on September from Salina
Cruz, during heavy weather on the
voyage had rudder stock bent, steam
pipe damaged and lost boats. While
being dry locked on the 18th it was
discovered that she was not resting
on the keel blocks properly. The mis-
take was discovered before the dock
was all pumped out and the dock was
reflled and the keel blocks adjusted.
When the dock was pumped out on the
18th she was found to be uninjured
with the exception of one of her bilge
keels, which was slightly bent. (Str.

AGAINST DEATH PENALTY
Interesting Statement Made by Clar-
ence f. Hager, of State Board of
Pardons, in Discussing the
Case of McGarvey.

While discussing the case of John
McGarvey, the condemned murderer.
Clarence e. Hager. for four years sec
reteary of the state BOARD of par
dons, made the following statement
yesterday in Denver;
Capital punishment is no detri-
ment to crime. / was once in favor
of the death penalty. but l now think
it is failure, and should be glad to
see the sixteenth general assembly
repeal the act under which a man's 8
life is forfeited to satisfy the law. if
he is convicted of murder.
Il firmly believe that If the repeal
of capital punishment were put up to
the people of Colorado by vote. a
handsome majority would declare
themselves in favor of the abolition
of the death penalty.
"As soon as announcement is made
that a man stands in the shadow of
the gallows, from all quarters of the
state come protests against the infiic-
tion of death, and pleas and heart
rending cries that the life of the
prisoner be spared. This fact has
come strongly to me in connection
with the case of John McGarvey
Persons who had never heard of the
boy appealed to save him, because
they did not believe that the death
penalty should be exacted in these
enlightened ages"
Mr.. Hagar believes that the legis-
lature Will take up the matter of the
repeal of the capital punishment law,
and that a vote on II in both houses
will result in its effacement from the
statute books of Colorado.

The announcement that Florence

with much pleasure by the many ad
mirers of the noted actress. The
fact that she is to come in the play
that she is said to have created a
place for herself in a single night
on exclusive upper Broadway, New
York. Will of course add an additional
interest. While Miss Roberts has long
been recognized in the west as one If
not the best of the emotion portraying
actresses 1t is a long step to n run on
Broadway and 1t was well known that
that was the goal of the ambitious
woman and the fact that she made

AGE LIMIT IGNORED
The Rule Adopted Some Time Ago
by Railroads to Retire Men
After Reaching Certain
Age Limit, Is Be
ing Ignored.

Several railroads out-oslerized Os-
Ter not long ago by adopting a rule
forbidding the employment of new
men past 35 years of age. 1t is graft
fying to learn that the absurdities OF
limiting the age at which railway
man is eligible for employment Is
passing away more rapidly than the
promoters of such measure expect-
ed IL would.
Already the principal roads in
America where the experiment has
been tried have abandoned the regu-
lation. The Alton, the Milwaukee and
the Burlington are virtually ignoring
the age limit regulation and, guided
by common sense. are hiring men
more with n view to their qualifica-
tions than to the exact number of
years which they may have lived.
Experience and capability are the
real tests of mans fitness for any
position, and if n railway official
makes the mistake of hiring an in
competent man there is no law COM
pelling the company to continue to
employ him. Years in themselves
are no criterion
Some men are old at 40. Others
are young at co. In any event, IL is
safe to assume tht n lack of the sup
pleness of youth is often more than
made up for by the wider experience
of added years.

THEY ARE ALARMED
Railroad Employees of Colorado Roads
Threatened With Arrest by Inter-
State Commerce
Commission.

Trainmen employed by the Colo
rado railroads are in a state of terror
and are threatened with arrest by
agents of the interstate commerce
NomnLsstCfn, who VIII not permit
them to work more than sixteen
hours without rest says yesterdays
Denver Post.
A committee of trainmen employed
on the Colorado & Southern between
Denver and Leadville came up to Den
yer Monday night to confer with
Superintendent Bacon regarding the
matter They had been ordered not
to take train out of Leadville under
penalty of arrest. The mandate was
given by an Interstate commission
agent, who learned that the men had
worked sixteen hours and were pre-
pairing to make an eight-hour run
from Leadville to Como.
Several arrests are said to have
been made by the agents of the COM
mission on the Denver & Rio Grande
at Salida. Agents are stationed at
all the principal division points and
are enforcing the 16-hour law.
There is a state law which pro-
vides that men shall have rest after
working Sixteen hours or over" 1t
does not provide that the rest shall
occur when the men are on the road
but when a division point has been
reached.
A federal act for siXteen-hour
schedule for all trainmen is now pend
ing in congress, and will probably
be passed at the present session. Rail
road officials say that the interstate
commerce agents are acting as if this
bill was already in effect. They say
that the agents are exceeding their
authority under the state law, and q
conflict between the railroads and the
commission may occur.
The trainmen on all roads in Colo
RADIO are uneasy. and the management
of the big lines are taking up the
matter. 1t is no uncommon thing for
trainmen to work thirty hours at a
stretch, without wink of sleep.
The men object to such long hours
as it ruins their health and shortens
their lives. They do not object how,
ever, to working twenty or twenty
two hours, as big rate of overtime
is paid after working sixteen hours.
If a siXteen-hour law is enforced
many of the railroads in the state will
have to change their division points
and much annoyance will result. Of
ficials of the roads say that the men
themselves are not in favor of a strict
law regarding hours, as 1t would force
them to work for $50 to $115
month, and many of them are receiv-
ing $135 and $175 a month under
the present conditions.
ut is all a misunderstanding" say
officials of the Colorado & Southern,
"and will be adjusted in a short
time
