I the statement on page %, in describing
the engineering feats accomplished in
the construction of irrigating bitches,
that "the big bitches have daily capa.
city of from 10000 to $4,000 gallons
day."
OF inaccuracies which though not
serious or important are nevertheless
blemishes in such work are the state
ments on page 80, that "the district
justices are appointed by the govern
orr and that "the Federal Govern
ment maintains circuit Judge" etc.
The ''district Justices" are not so
styled, but "district magistrates, or
colloquially "police judges" and are
appointed by the Chief Justice of the
Territory. The title of the Federal
judge is United States district Judge.
not circuit judge, though the court
over which he presides has some circuit
court jurisdiction.
On page IS the sugar crop of the
year is understated by more than 30,-
900 tons.
More serious probably than any of
these however, because it involves an
error in physics, is the statement re.
garding artesian wells that "the water
rises in the boring through the pressure
of the incoming sea water, in Honolulu
1t does not rise higher than AZ feet
above sea level" The application of
the simplest laws of physics to the sub.
ject will make it clear that the pressure
of the incoming sea water could not
make the artesian water rise above its
own level, except by action on the prin.
eiple of the hydraulic ram, and then it
would be intermittent and not constant
as is the flow of the artesian wells.
1t will be noticed that none of these
slips are on the side of geology ,r
topography, where the author is par
tieularly well fortified, nor even on the
historical side in which also he seems
exceptionally well equipped.
In the matter of expression and
style, while Mr.. Baldwin has, in gen.
eral, clearness and a compact, didactic
style, he is occasionally obscure, most
frequently by using terms which are
really provincialisms with making clear
their meaning either provincialisms
without making clear their meaning
either by definition or context. For
instance the word ''Pali' which is
purely local in its meaning and use
is nowhere defined in the book, and is
used loosely in two or three different
senses sometimes within the compass
of single paragraph. On page 10?
speaking of Makawao it is stated that
ga well equipped foreign church is
/ centrally located etc. This can con,
vey no clear or concise idea to anyone
not intimately familiar with our Island

Prior to the arrest of All Chez on a
charge of selling intoxicating liquors
without a license, a suit was brought
in the circuit court against him by H.
Hackfeld e. Co., suit to secure the
payment of money alleged to be due.
On February IL an answer was fled
by Ah Chez in the suit. The attorneys
named in the answer as those retained
to represent All Chez are John w.

Attorney and Deputy County Attorney.
That suit is still pending, and Cath

retaining fee to represent All Chez.
1t is true that about six months
before any charge was made, he re-
tanned me to defend him in civil ac-

and disposed of long before any crimi-

made in May, and the trial had not

Samuel F. Chillingworth, the attor-

COURT RECORDS
REFUTE WORDS
OF CATHCART
(FrOm Saturdays Advertiser.)

az In regard to the attack made upon
me in the morning paper, 1 would say,
in reference to the All Chez matter,
that at no time while any criminal
charge was pending against Ah Chee
did l appear for him in a civil ac-
tion. ."-Statement made in writing by
John W. Cathcart, County Attorney,
for the Star and Bulletin, on Thursday.
John w. Cathcart, the man who is
| looking for the votes of the electorate
to retain him in the present response
BILE position which he holds, the one in
whose hands lies the power of discre-
| tion whether criminals are to be prose-
cuted or not, who may nullify all the
work of the police if he should see fit,
has deliberately and with consideration
prepared a "refutation of the charges
made against him by the Adver.
tiser of tlagrant misuse of his official
position, which statement of refutation
begins with the words quoted above.
The statement, from beginning to
end, is untrue. The court records show
1t to be so, and the peculiar audacity
which prompted Cathcart to make such
statement can only be accounted for
in one way-that Cathcart was not re.
sponsible for what he said when he
made 1t. 1t hardly seems possible that
he would lie deliberately when the
means of detecting him were so easy
AT no time when any criminal
charge was pending against All Chez
did l appear for him in civil ac-
tion.' The criminal charge referred
to by the Advertiser was that of con.
ducting blind pig, and while this is
not technically criminal charge, it is
what Cathcart refers to as such. What
are the facts, facts borne out bv the
records of the courtsf
In May last raid was made by Lii
cense Inspector Fennell on an alleged
blind pig in Waialua, conducted by
Chinese storekeeper there, All Chez.
The case dragged through the district
court until July 8, when the trial took
place. Deputy County Attorney A. NJ.
Brown was the prosecuting officer,
Archie Mahaulu being the judge. One
month and seventeen days after the
tral judgment was rendered in favor
of the defendant, and it was stated at
the time and no contradiction made
that A. NJ. Brown was prevented from
pressing the case, as he wanted to,
through the direct orders of John w.
Cathcart.
What interest did Cathcart have in
not pressing the case against All Cheel
What reason actuated the paid official
of the county to fall short of his sworn
duty in the prosecution of an alleged
violator of the law9
From the day All Chez was arrested
until this very day, Cathcart and Mil
verton, his deputy, have been in the
pay of this same All Chez. On June

THE NEW GEOGRAPHY AND
SOME QUEER THINGS IN 1T

few advance copies of the new
geography of the Hawaiian Islands pre-.
pared by G. w. Baldwin, now principal
of kauluwela school, and approved by
the Board of Education, have just been
received. The book is published by
the American Book company and is
copyrighted both in America and Great
Britain.
1t is undoubtedly the best handbook
of Hawaii that has ever been gotten
out. The Promotion Committee could
not do better than to see that it is
readily obtainable by tourists, and there
is no resident of the Islands, but will
find it a convenient and interesting
reference book for the very many
things that everyone who wants to feel
well informed concerning the Islands
ought to know, but which unfortunately
he finds he is not quite sure Of
The maps have all been prepared es-
pecially for this work and are the most
up-to-date maps of the Islands in ex-
istence. In addition to the ordinary
style of maps, Photographic reproduc.
tions of Dean w. Il. Pope's relief maps
of the several islands have been intro
duced to advantage.
The illustrations have been well chos.
en- and well reproduced and so far as
illustrations can within the scope of
such work as this, they give compre.
hensive and accurate ideas of condi.
tions and scenery.
In the preface Principal Baldwin thus
states the principles that have guided
him in the preparation of the geog
raphy. "- the author has
had to reply on teaching experience in
determining the general nature and
scope of the work. In view
of the fact that there has been lack
of accurate data on the Hawaiian
group, it has seemed necessary to con-
form the text to the interests of the
teacher as well as to the requirments
of the pupil. The book is designed
primarily as source of information
whereby the subject may be presented
topically."
1t is as source of information that
the book is of pre.eminent merit This
information is given in compact form.
A reading of the book convinces at
once of Mr.. Baldwin IS thorough equip
ment for this work along the lines of
the geology and the topography of the
Islands. and these subjects lie natural
ly at the foundation of such work
as this. Mr.. Baldwin knows the geology
of the Islands thoroughly because he
has studied it on the ground; and he
knows the topography because he has
been almost everywhere in the Islands
and given attention to the subject. On
the historical side, too, he is well equip
ped, But the book would have benefit
ed if 1t had been read in manuscript
or proof more carefully for forms. Of
expression, and matter of style, and

SCHOOL POLICE
MAKE CAPTURE

The police bureau of the city gov
ernment of Kaahumanu school effected
the capture of a real offender yester.
day after laying plans for his capture.
and then, as a last resort, SO that the
real law of the Territory would hold
good, they called in the detectives Of
Chief Kalakiela. The prisoner, IA
young white fellow named c. Piper, is
now held at the police station and will
probably appear before Judge Andrade
this morning.

the last six days, girls going home

would then make nuisance of himself.
In some instances he laid hands Oh

the girls were told of the actions of the
stranger, and the matter was laid be-

of the truth of the tales, and they
began to close in on the fellow. On
Wednesday some boys and men caught
sight of him near Prospect street while
he was accosting girls, and they gave
chase. The fellow, having bicycle,
easily got away.
Detective Madeiros was detailed On
the case by Chief Kalakiela, to whom
the school police chief and officers re.
ported the facts of the case. Madeircs

sleuths and whistle was agreed upon,
but yesterday the offender failed tu

given him, Madeiros found the man in

to the station. He was identified by
the school police, and then couple or
dozen school girls came down, and

not been neglected by the young fell

the Home also recognized young Piper.
The latter denies that he has been in
the vicinity of the schools or that he
did any of the things accredited to him.
