AN APPEAL TAKEN
IN THE HUNT CASE
Judge Fox Will Now Rule on
Meat Inspection Ordi-
nance.

The case of the City of Richmond VS.
CLAYTON Hunt was filed in the Wayne
circuit court today. The plaintiff has
appealed the case from the decision of
Judge Converse of the city court, who
held the city ordnance requiring all
meats retaied in the city to pass in!
SpectiOn, to be unconstitutional Mr..
Hunt is a Main street grocer and per
sisted in selling uninspected sausage
in violation of the ordinance. 1t was
charged by the city the sausage was
made from pork secured from unin-
spected hogs. The court sustained
the demurrer to the complaint filed by
the attorneys for the defendant.
The decision was one of vital inter
est to the meat dealers of the city. The
ordinance had prohibited the sale of
meats of any kind obtained from I'M
inspected animals. In making his
finding Judge Converse stated the or
dinance was invalid as 1t was "discrim-
mate. unfair, unreasonable, partial and
prohibit1ve in its application and oper-
alton.

And the fact that petitions we're filed
with the board asking for VitTlfied

on North F street from Sixteenth
street west, certainly had nothing to
do with any members action as to E

was indefinitely postponed by the
board. which of itself shows no motive
existed and that no attempt was be-

body. The Fifteenth street one square
petition was laid over for further ac-
ton in the near future.
Without discussing the merits of
paving North f street, the board was
of the unanimous opinion that, with
the West Second street and viaduct
improvement on hand and the two
sewers incident thereto, the Southwest
sewer system and the sewage disposal
plant incident thereto, and with the
paving of North f street and the re-
making of North Fourteenth and 9th
er macadam streets, it was wholly out
of the question to pave North + or
any other street this year. We will
not have the money under the present
tax levy to pay for it,

row; the car tracks run in the mid
die; the roadway is so narrow on each
side that the heavy wagons, must
run practically in the same ruts. This
soon ruins a macadam street and 1t Is
o waste of money to improve this
street in that way. A vitrified brick
paving is more permanent, more econ
omical, more slightly, more sanitary,
more comfortable and much less eX-
pense to keen up.

CHANGE CAUSED

with the radical new departure from
Icy taken yesterday can hardly be
doubted.
Governor Frear said this morning
that DR.. Koch had studied and investi-
people suppose. The Governor was
talking about the resolution of the
Board of Health which is printed in
another column. He showed he was
greatly impressed with the import
ance of the declared change of po-
Icy.
1--WE would never think of gathering
all the consumptives in one place anu
keeping them shut up there without
trying to do anything for the cure OF
their disease" the Governor said. He
continued substantially as follows:
1T is true that a great deal has been
done for the lepers, in providing CON-
Portable homes for them, giving them
nourishing food and making things as
pleasant as possible for them. So
far as the humane side of segregation
is concerned, there has been little OF
which complaint could be made.
"Yet little or nothing has been at
tempted in the way of studying the
disease and it's progress, or in trying
to stop its ravages in incipient cases.
Segregation itself has not been
thorough. Statistics of numbers con-
fined in the Settlement have not been
an accurate criterion OF the rise or fall
of the malady in the islands. Some
administrations have been more strict
than others, When the law would be
enforced with a degree of stringency
the population of the Settlement would
increase two or three hundred during
period, and when the enforcement
would become lax under another rule
the number of lepers confined would
fall away.
Now that the Federal and Terri
torial authorities are going to cooper
ate in adopting remedial measures
against the disease itself, 1t may Dc
expected that the segregation law will
lose much of it's terror. When the
people realize that those suspecVed of
being affected are not to be rushed
away to Kalaupapa but that incipient
cases are to receive medical treatment
here just the same as other sick'7 peo-
pie, instead of hiding away from the
officers Of the law those who fear
they may have contracted the disease
will be likely to come here Of their
own accord for treatment.
AT the outset the Territorial Nds
thorltles cannot do much for want OF
funds, but this will probably be rem
edled in due time. In the meantime,
however, It is believed that the Fed
eral authorities have funds, In con-
nectlon with the leprosarum, which
can be applied 10 this purpose, We
have the buildings and they have the
money More buildings can be erect

SCORES VERDICT
OF ARMY COURT
THE PRESIDENT DENOUNCES THE
OFFICERS WHO VOTED TO AC
QUIT LIEUTENANTS.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-Army ser
vice papers today carry Presidential
remarks concerning the court-martial
which found Second Lieutenants John
]. Moller and Charles R. Bennett of the
Eighth Infantry, in the Philippines,
not guilty of conduct unbecoming Of.
ficers and gentlemen, in that they
permitted the torture of Filipino pris-
oners by the President of Tolosa. The
accused officers admitted to the in
spector that the men were tor
tured by the Presidente in the room of
Lieutenant MOller. So far as the in
spector was concerned the case was
clear.
When the trial took place objection
was made to the introduction In evl-
dence of admissions of the two officers
and the court sustained the objection.
The officers availed themselves of the
privilege of not testifying, so the only
proof presented was that of five Of the
eight men said to have been tortured.
The court would not believe them and
acquitted Moller and Bennett.
The President Endorsed the papers as
follows:
at appears that there has been an
outrageous miscarriage of justice in
the case of the two lieutenants in
question. l greatly regret that I have
not the legal power to upset the action
of the court-martial. feel that these
two lieutenants have discredited them
selves and the service, and that the
responsibility for their compromising
the good name of the Army and the
country is shared by those members of
the court-martial who voted for their
acquittal. If those two officers were
enlisted men I would have had them
discharged out of hand for the good
of the service, and regret that be-
cause Of the law I am unable to take
this action in this case"

JAPANESE CLASH
WITH BRITAIN
THE ARREST OF KOREAN WHO IS
A SUBJECT OF KING MAKES
TROUBLE.

SEOUL July 25.-A sensation has
been created by the arrest of the
editor of the vernacular edition of the
Daily News, formerly owned by e. T.
Bethel, an Englishman, who recently
was sentenced to a term in prison at
Shanghai, after conviction in the Brit
'4sh Consular Court of using the col
umns of his paper to incite the Ko-
reans to riot. Prior to his trial, Bethel
suspended publication of his English
edition of the News.
The Korean editor of the paper is
now charged with completely in the
alleged disappearance of a portion of
what is known as the Korean national
loan redemption fund, which amounted
to 100000 yen, and was originally coll
lected partly with the assistance of
Bethel's newspapers, with the object
of paying the Korean national debt to
Japan. At one time the movement was
popular, and poor people made many
sacrifices, even contributing their or
naments to the fund, because it repre-
scented the payment of the national
debt, which, it was believed, would
free Korea from the yoke of Japan.
1t is now asserted by Bethels friends
that the arrest of the Korean editor of
the News was secured by the Japanese
because he was the chief witness in
behalf of Bethel during the latters
trial
Japanese o1icials in Seoul decline to
be interviewed on the subject, merely
saying that the action against the
editor was taken by Koreans, because
a portion of the fund certainly has dis
appeared from it's place of original de-
post, and therefore the Korean sub
scribers are demanding to know its
whereabouts.
The British Consul has protested
against the arrest of the editor on the
i ground that he is employed by a Brit
ish subject.

HOSPITAL
THOUGHTS

There has been made the suggestion
that no more suitable building and
grounds could be secured for the quar-
ters of a childrens hospital than the
long forsaken Spreckels mansion in
Punahou
The Spreckels pile is beautifully To-
Gated, is large and well arranged, IS
convenient to town and is a splendid
structure to look upon.
Whether or not it can be secured is
not known, but it is believed posi-
BILE.
For years no one but Chinese keep
ers have lived on the premises and it
has been suggested by those interested
in seeing a realization of the children's
hospital idea that the owners would
doubtless be only too glad of the OPP
portunity of putting the great building
to so noble a use.
