LAWYER is REPRlMANDED
BY JUDGE FREDERICKS0N
X. A. Miller Tells Client to Plead
Guilty and Then Attempts
to Prove His In
nocence

A severe reprimand was administered
by Judge Freedrickson yesterday morn
ing to X. A. Miller, attorney for Robert
Baxter, elevator starter in the Crosse
building, for instructing his client to
plead guilty and then trying himself TO
convince the court of Baxter's innocence.
Baxter was charged with working the
nickel-in-the-slot machine with pencil
and upon investigation sixty pencils were
found in his room with the mark of the
slots upon them. Miller told Baxter to
plead guilty and then entered upon
course of argument to show that Baxter
had merely been trying to demonstrate
defect in the mechanism of the ma
chimes and had not intended to commit
an offense
'It is a gross violation of the law for
you to urge an innocent man to plead
guilty" said Judge Frederickson. The
case will be called today for sentence

Way to Make Wire-Using
Companies String Lines
In Alleys Only

The city's legal department is looking
up the laws to see whether it is possible
to force all wire-using companies to put
their wires in alleys rather than streets.
An unwritten law has long prevailed
that where property owners bear the ex-
pense the companies will make the
changes from the curbstone to the alleys.
City Attorney Hewitt has told some Of

The GREAT
LEPROsAR|UM

Six sets of plans and specifications
for the new United States Leprosarium
at kalaupapa, Molokai, are being fig
ured on by contractors OF Honolulu,
The tenders for constructing the build
ing are to be opened at the office of
the Supervising Architect at Washing
ton on February /, at 3 p. IN.
The plans contemplate a set of model
buildings wherein thorough investi-
CATION of the disease of leprosy win be
conducted. They include an admin
istration building, in which the offices
are to be located; hospital contain
ing every modern appliance for the
treatment of the disease in question; a
morgue and a laundry; an animal
house, in which animals to be used for
innoculating experiments will be kept;
three attendants quarters; pharmacy
building; the directors quarters;
surgery pavilion; stables and a boiler
house.
There will be two main compounds,
separated by a considerable tract of
land. In one will be the residence of
the director of the station, with quar-
tiers for the immediate medical staff add
joining. This compound will be ass by
200 feet. The larger compound, COM
prising quadrangle 1000 by 500 feet,
takes in all the remaining buildings.
In this compound will be conducted all
the laboratory and hospital work. The
only general entrance to this compound
will be through a gateway which di,
vides the stable quarters. This build
ing practically forms a part Of the
fence surrounding the compound.
The larger buildings will be two sto-
ries in height. They will be commo-
dious and attractive and fitted through
out with every convenience. In the
cold storage house there will be an ice
plant.
There will be installed 500 feet of
S-inch sewer pipe, 600 feet of 6-inch
pipe, 1000 feet of 4-inch, and 5000 feet of
4-inch water pipe. This is in addition
to the plumbing in the buildings.
The site is close to the shore, ada,
cent to the Kalaupapa landing. The
ground slopes up well and there is good
drainage
Il consider the establishment Of this
leprosarium one of the greatest of the
advantages we have received since an
nexation," said John Emmeuth, one OF
the bidders, yesterday. "These build
ings will show that the disease of lep'
rosy is to be given the best medical
treatment possible, and that the Unit
ed States will spend a large amount OF
money in not only pursuing its inves-
LEGATIONS, but in properly treating the
people at the Settlement"

one tonight. This committee has been
doing some strenuous work of which
Hughes does not seem to know.
THE main points we are considering
are in relation to the percentage Of d.
vision of the taxes with the counties,
the drafting of a measure to bring the
waterworks systems under county con-
troll, the drawing up of a new liquor
law and amendments to the school law.
We have only just received the finan-
cial reports bearing on these things,
without which we were able to discuss
them in only tentative way. We are
finding that it is one thing to discuss
these general issues on the stump and
another thing to embody the reforms
we want into concrete statutes.
Take the liquor law, for instance. II
we insert the citizen clause We will
have "A tremendous fight on our hands
from the big wholesale liquor fiji ms and
importers. To fight It a b'g fund could
be raised. If we don't put 1t in we are
gong TO have lots OF grumblir j from
the other side. Then 1t WIS suggested
thai the swinging doors OF the saloons
should be done away with and imme-
diately we We're besleged by the saloon
men. This liquor law is something we
have promised in our platform and
something the people showed the de-
3 e for by electing us.
The question of put lg the schools
under county control gets down to
question of finances bei you so into
1t ve,y far. HCu '1 the appro-
priations equally is the question. a
percentage of the taxes enough to sup
port the Oahu schools would not be in
any way sufficient for those of Hawaii,
treasury. Ths oahu schools, on the
basis of their present salary list, cost
$4,000 a month to keep up. A percent
age of the total taxes OF this county
necessary to yield that amount would,
ii applied to any of the other Islands.
leave their schools in bad shape. And
1t does not seem possible to PROV de Tor
a different percentage in each OF the
several counties.
Then we are encount. ng difficult
ties regarding the division of taxes on
the grounds suggested, namely to pay
the counties in proportion to the
raised in each. IN the matter
of income tax. for instance, what are
you going to do about the Inter-1s.and

ing at. We know what the people want
and we are working to give 1t to them,
but we want to know just what We are
going against before we draft our
measures"
What do you think of Mr.. Hughes
choice for the speakership?' Mr.. Iona
was asked.
TT isn't the speakership that Is
worrying us half as much just now as
the Partnerships" said Mr.. Long. I'VE
have more applications for those Jobs

LANTERN SLIDES FOR
|ND|ANA'S SCHOOLS

AS a result of the visit to Honolulu of
Mr.. Ernest /. Lewis, special correspon-
dent of the indianapolis News, to write
series of articles on Hawaii, Secre-
tary H. p. Wood of the Hawaii Pro-
motion Committee intends having a set
of stereopticon slides sent to the head
OF the public school system in Indiana,
for use in all the schools of that state.
The scheme is a new one and was
originated by Mr.. Wood. He laid II
before a meeting of the Territorial
Teachers Association a few weeks ago.
His idea was TO have the local schools
take up some promotion work Tor the
islands and he suggested that the IAN
tern-slide method might be good one
with a lecture prepared by Super1n-
tendent OF Public Instruction Babpitt'
to accompany the pictures. Mr.. Lewis
has forwarded number OF special ar
ticles on Hawnii TO his paper, ana,
knowing that these would be reprinted
extensively in the state, Secretary
Wood thought that the time would Dc
ripe to follow up the news articles with
lantern slides for use in the schools.
ttttttHkkktkkt
opinion should be made.
It was during the troublous days roi-
lowing .ne signing OF the peace at
Portsmouth that the newspapers feit
most heavily the power of the govern
ment. The first day of the riots In
Toxic two papers were suspended IN
definitely, the Yorodzu Choho, because
they had melted the people to rebel
against the mandate of the home min
lister denying Hibiva Park as place
for an anti-peace mass meeting. The
Osaka Mainichi again came under
cloud. 1t was suspended and its pres
ses kept silent for six e.,s
The mobs at Toxic took out their
revenge on the sole organ of the gov
eminent, the Kokumin. This paper.
subsidized by the Katsura war cabinet,
had tried to pour oil on the troubled
waters. On the first day of the riots
a mob went to a printing plant and
there broke the presses and pied the
type. AS there are several thousand
characters in a Japanese printing case
to Pi it's type is to put a paper out or
business indefinitely.
Following the restoration Of order
there was unanimous demand on the
part OF the press of Japan, but very
respectfully, however, for the release
OF several editors put under arrest
during the stormy days and for an es-
tablished guarantee by the govern
ment OF freedom OF the press.
The editors were released after due
elaboration. But the plea for the re-
taxation OF the press censorship was
nnheeded. Though the Katsura cab
lbinet went out shortly after the close
of tho war and the Progressists party
came into power. the rigor of the
government supervision over the press
was not abated and remains in full
strength today.
