JUVENILE
OFFENDERS
BOYS CONVICTED IN FEDERAL
COURT MAY BE SENTENCED TO
INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL.

The meeting of the Board of Public
Instruction this morning was called
for the purpose of taking action on the
matter of opening the Boys Industrial
School to youthful convicts committed
by the federal court, which matter
was discussed at the last meeting and
referred to the Attorney General for
opinion. This opinion was at hand
this morning. Attorney General Hem
enway stated that in view of the fact
that there is no express prohibition in
the statutes to such a proposition, he
is unable to find any reason against it,
provided the boys committed by the
U. S. District Court are under IS years
of age. His department he further
stated, however, assumes no RESPONSE
bility for the legality of such confine-
ment.
The Board accordingly adopted the
following resolutions on the matter. by
which Judge Dole's efforts to save
youthful offenders sentenced by him
from having TO serve their terms in
the common prison among the corrupt
ing influence of adult criminals. will
be crowned with success:
RESOLVED, That the Superintend-
ent of the Boys Industrial School be
authorized to receive all federal prison.
ers of ages within the rules of said
school and sentenced to Imprisonment
therein, and to guard and maintain
such prisoners in accordance with the
rules of this institution, at the rate for
each prisoner of fifty cents per day.

DILLINGHAM;
DENIES STORY OF
SPECIAL RATE

The only sensation which came up
today in regard to the awarding of the
Hilo breakwater contract was over the
statement made, which was spoken of
in yesterdays Star, to the effect that
the Hilo Railroad was in cCGusion
with Metzger and for that reason had
refused to grant a special rate to either
of two other bidders who had asked
it.
This charge was again made this
morning with the added information
that Mayer was one of these contrac-
tors and Perry, of San Francisco, the
other. 1t was stated, on authority COM
ing directly from the Mayer represent
atives that they had asked for a spe-
cial rate two months ago and had been
told that nothing could be done about
it till Waller Dillingham;, who was OF

President Pinkham of the Board of
Health is apparently getting into hot
ter water than he got into before, as
result of his attitude. Members of
the Law and Order Committee of the
Civic Federation contradict his state
ment that the Board of Health r not
in any way cooperating in the law
breaking, and it is also stated today
that at least two members of the Board
of Health have come to the conclusion
that their president has without au-
thority committed the Board to a pol
icy they do not approve. Wherefore
there may be lively Board of Health
meeting on the subject.
President Pinkham has an agent
who looks after this business and. rec
ognizer it just about the same as under
the act to mitigate said one of the
leaders in the reform movement this
morning. Il absolutely deny that there
is no recognition of it. The members
of the Board themselves do not know
of the action he has taken, and 1 be-
lieve they will give him a severe call
down when next they meet.
AS for the sections of law which
Mr.. Pinkham quotes, they are absolute
ly inapplicable to the matter. The
president of the Board of Health is at
tempting to evade the issue, and con-
slider that he mas misled the Board it
self"
AS matter of fact, Iwilei is so iso-
lated that most citizens don't know
much about it. Many prominent men
might be quoted as opposing any effort
to absolutely close the district. Such
citizens think that evil conditions
would soon be widespread and that, as
in other American cities, Honolulu can
best handle the matter by holding IN

The Iwilei campaign has developed
great activity today. A petition is be-
ing presented to Sheriff Iaukea, a,-simi-
lar, it is said, to one recently filed with
the federal district attorney,-which
asks for the enforcement of law and
declares that there is open violation of
law at present. 1t was circulated by
the Rev. e. w. Thwing and bears
many signatures.
1--WE are not extremists or cranks,"
said the Rev. Mr.. Thwing when asked
if he believed IN the practicability
Of an absolute rigid enforcement Of
the law, "but we do believe that laws
should be enforced as strictly as posi-
BILE, and that the conditions can be
much improved, the evil much reduc-
ed, greatly to the benefit of our COM
munity."

Is L. e. Pinkham to be reappointed
to the presidency of the Board Of
Health?
The question is one which no one but
Governor Frear could at present an
swer, and he declines to commit him
self. Probably he hasn't even yet
made up his mind.
President Pinkham's term of office
expires on the 18th of this month
There are lot of people out after his
official scalp led by the Advertiser. The
Civic Federation also apparently has it
III for the president, asc would be in
dicated by the accusations of the Fe-
deration's committee against the Board
of Health, to the erect that it is en-
couraging social vice as it exists at
Iwilei.
President Pinkham declares that the
attacks on him are largely instigated
from personal motives. In reference
to the charges that he has been in
judicious in his correspondence with
the Japanese consul general, he simply
denies the impeachment, and declares
that full publication of all the cor
respondence he has ever had with Con-
sui Saito, together with that with Gov
ernor Frear will prove this, but until
the Governor allows this to be publish
ed his hands are tied.
Governor Frear this morning stated
that he would probably have a confer
ence with Mr.. Pinknam sometime to-
day, but that for the present he would
not discuss the situation, nor consent
to the publication of any correspond
ence. He expressed doubtNas to the
eXpedience of dragging out the trouble
of several months ago relative to the
remuneration of Japanese physicians
who assisted in the plague epidemic at
Aiea.
