WOULD SEND DELEGATE
CONTINUED from Page u

AAoAh = oAV -
close touch with present shipping
conditions that the Hawaiian ISL
ands are more in need of lights and
buoys than almost any other section
OF the United States. II a delegate
is sent to the convention, he will
work, they say, to secure those very
aids to shipping which 1t is claimed
are most needed at the present time.
One Of the arguments advanced by
those who want delegate sent is
that he will be able to render expert
advice In matters connected with
shipping and that, with the Associa-
tons support, Prince Kuhio will he
able to accomplish much more than
would be possible were he laboring
unaided.
The question Of sending delegate
to the convention was raised, 1t is
claimed, by citizens. of their own vo-
lition. The Association had decided
not to send any one. The members
have agreed to furnish u delegate,
however, II outsiders will furnish the
necessary money. ..#
One OF the most important matters
which a delegate to the convention
would have to take up would be the
establishment of lighthouse at Ka-
lac Point, the most southerly cape of
the Island of Hawaii. Shippers say
that 1t is essential that first-ordcr
light be established there. That will
mean an appropriation of about $780,
600. The construction of the Hilo
breakwater wiz. they say, make the
port OF Hilo the most important on
Hawaii and first-order light Is
therefore practically a necessity.
Another question to be brought up
will be substitution OF a series of
acetylene gas buoys for the bell
buoys in use in the waters of the
Islands now. The cost of these buoys
will be about $1,000 each, but once
they are located, they will not re-
quire any attention for six months,
so say those in touch with such mat
tiers.
Shippers complain that many of
the bell buoys now in use are pract!-
cally useless, as they cannot be heard
at the very time that they are the
most needed.
That the shippers and owners will
proht more from the Improvement In
the buoy and light system is also
claimed. Those in close touch with
Affairs say that more safeguards
would mean lower insurance rates
on vessels that, in turn, would mean
lower freight rates.

JURY OUT % HRS.
BUT CAN'T agree
Mistrial In Revolving
Case Of Ramon
Rodrigues

After being locked up for twenty
three hours, the jury in the case of
the Territory vs.. Ramon Rodrigues,
sharged with incest, this morning APP
peared before Judge Robinson and
asked that they be excused, as they
were unable to reach unanimous
verdict. John w. Cathcart prosecu-
ted the case and Harold Gordon Spen-
Ger represented the defense.
The charge is one of the most re-
voting that has ever been heard
in a local court. Charged with in
cest, Rodrigues, a Porto Rican with
a prison record, will now be given
another trial. Attorney Spencer put
up the plea that the girl in the case
was not his rightful daughter, that
she was merely his daughter by
adoption. and this question, 1t seems,
has caused the jury to disagree.
The case was heard for two days
before Judge Robinson before IL was
given to the jury. almost all of Spen-
GERS defense going to show that the
girl was not the Granddaughter of
Rodrigues, although the man made u
signed confession to the deed.

CRITICISM OF MURDER VERDICT
CONTINUED from PAGE ~

more carefully than they did, and II
was their own responsibility. They
heard the whole of the evidence. the
case was carefully tried, and II they
came to that conclusion, no unfavor-
able criticism can be properly made
against them, except that people not
on the jury might have a different
opinion"
With regard to the statement
which Mr.. Liddy made in his letter
to Governor Frear that Deputy U. s.
Attorney Rawlins was astonished at
the verdict, Mr.. Rawlins said this
morning: II prosecuted the case, and,
under the evidence, l believed then
and believe now, that they brought
in the only verdict that they consci-
entiously could. l certainly was not
astonished when verdict Of murder
was brought in"
Jack Lucas. who was foreman of
the jury which tried the case, said
this morning:
"Mr. Liddy was certainly not war
ranted In making the statements thtt
he did. He has made 1t appear that
We were a bloodthirsty crowd, eager
to take mans life, while, as a mat
ter of fact, there was not one Of US,
I believe. who was not reluctant in
bringing In such verdict but we
felt that we had to do our duty rs
we saw 1t. We were under oath,
sworn to bring in a verdict on the
evidence, and that is what we did,
Mr.. Liddy retracted his statements
this morning"

TO AID NAVIGATION.

II is to be hoped that the local
Harbor of the Masters and Pilots AS
ISOLATION will be successful in its
object of raising sufficient funds to
send a representative to Washington
TO assist in the work of obtaining
from the Federal Government such
aids to navigation as are needed IN
these waters. The fact that such Il
delegate, through his familiarity
with the local waters and their
needs. can render valuable assistance
in getting appropriations, has al
ready been shown on one occasion,
and the assistance was appreciated
by the Delegate, who, as a matter of
fact. wishes that the same step be
taken this year.
The position taken by the Associa-
ton, that it cannot properly be eX-
pected to bear the considerable finan-
cial expense involved, also appears
quite just one. While its members
are without doubt the direct beneii-
Charles of the added aids to naviga-
ton, those who really profit are the
steamship companies, the shippers,
and, in fact, the travelling public in
general, as every light and buoy add
ed contributes in "A measure to the
increased safety of travellers and
goods In transportation.
From financial point of view the
expense should be a iustiiiable one
to the merchants, as the decrease of
dangers to navigation will surely
mean n reduction of insurance rates,
and, finally, when the Hawaiian ISL
and waters become classed as safe,
one obstacle which might tend to pre-
vent trade and shipping from coming
to these shores will have been re-
moved, and the entire community
will be benefited thereby. An acct
dent like the one which occurred to
the Manchuria at Waimanalo does
not assist the Promotion Committee
in its work, and this would have
been avoided had the Makapuu light
been established at the time at which
1t occurred.

SPEED OF BATTLESRIPS

In a newly established record OF
upward of twenty-seven knots per
hour, the British battleship Inflexible
has given naval men the world over
fresh and serious problems. and an
nounces the RELOCATION Of the simple
cruiser, as we have known her, into
the background.
A modern battleship with such
tremendous speed is in class far
different from the numbering battle
ship which, in effect, has no power
to overtake a cruiser or liner, and Is
meant to be only a floating and trans
ferable fortress. A battleship which
can transfer itself from point to
point more rapidly than the most
speedy cruiser has heretofore been
able to do, and which can take and
hold its place anywhere, and against
the most powerful adversary, as this
new craft is presumably quite able
to do, lifts the fighting requirements
of navies to a level where slow bat
tleships will not be worth keeping
afloat.
The development Is Of worldwide
Significance. In an era Of commerce,
most Of the highways Of which are
on the deep. the nation that can take
and hold the water must eventually
conquer.

LEGAL STATUS OF THE BATH.

The question whether the bath is
necessity, a luxury, a mere habit,
a fad, or what, has long puzzled those
superficial biologists who spend their
time in searching the human anatomy
for fins, sails. or propellers. The alb
sence of fms, it has been argued, in
dicates that man is not fish. The
absence of propellers, viewed from
the archaeological standpoint, seems
to demonstrate also that man came
into being before the era of steam
And the lack of sails, spars, and rig
ging shows that the human creature
cant stand before the wind, or run
down leg of the breeze, in the way
commended by yachtsmen and others
concerned in the custody of cups and
similar trophies.
In Pittsburg court of competent
Jurisdiction granted a divorce upon
the mere ground that the applicants
husband had not taken bath in
eleven years. Why the lady whose
marital experiences were thus discon-
tinued should have waited eleven
years before seeking relief does not
appear, but it may have been due to
that ignorance of the rule laid down
In Smith and Snoozer, 476, that. in
The absence of precise proof, every
person of the male sex is le-
yally presumed to take bath once q
,ear. whether he needs 1t or not.

FROM PICTURESQUE IMPRACTICAL
SHIPS.

The announcement of the change
TO schooner-rig of the brig Freder-
icka Schepp was accompanied by the
statement that there are now but five
brigs ON the Atlantic coast under the
American Flag. The wonder is that
even that number survives. as statis-
tics show no brig to have been built
in the United States since 1898, when
but solitary vessel of this descrip-
ton left the ways. But fifteen brigs
have been built to fly the Stars and
Stripes since 1850.
The brig. taking its name from the
pirate craft Of the Mediterranean.
was favorite type of American sail
ing vessel. Even the glory of the
clipper ship in the great days be-
tween 1870 and 1855 did not obscure
its laurels won in the India trade
and in whaling. 1t carried the fame
OF American seamanship around the
Horn and the Cape of Good Hope into
every sea.
Steam and the more economical
schooner long ago sealed the doom OF
the brig, together with all forms OF
the square-rigger. The thirty-three
ships and barks built in the year OF
greatest activity in that line of ship
building in quarter of a century,
1888, illustrate by contrast with the
567 schooners launched that year,
the change from the picturesque to
the practical in American shipping.

fish the fact that bathing is not
wrongful, unnatural, or In violation
of the prescriptive rights of fishes,
sailboats, steamships, motorboats, or
submarines. Hereafter, at least, any
person who desires to battle has a ju-
dicial precedent to point to in justi-
ftcation. which. combined with water,
soap, and towels, authorizes him to
go into the water as far as he likes.
