Los ANGELES PARTY COMING

At a meeting of the governors of
the Commercial Club today, President
George w. Smith of the Merchants
Association stated that he had
received a letter from a member of
the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce
announcing that, in five days from
it's date, an excursion of business men
would saif for Honolulu in a steamer
chartered for the purpose.
AS there has been no cabled word
of the departure OF the excursion,
there is a possibility that the sailing
of the steamer has been delayed.

SUPERINTENDENT WORKS CAMPBELL WILL ADVANCE
IT BEFORE LEGISLATURE IN A NEW FoRM-PRoPosEs TO

CEEDINGs LOCAL CoU RTs

The plan of acquiring the upper
Pauoa springs, which will give the
Territory a very fine water supply in
that section of the city by condemna-
tion proceedings, through which the
value of the water rights owned by G.
w. Booth will be decided by the courts,
will be advanced to the Legislature by
Superintendent of Public Works Mars
ton Campbell In this manner the
water rights can be purchased at a
fair valuation by the government and
no holdup scheme will be allowed to
go through.
1t will be remembered that in the
last Legislature bill was passed which
appropriated the sum of $140,0OO for
the purchase of the upper Pauoa
springs, sum which was considered
by very many to be far in excess of

SEEMS THAT LORD
HAS SOLD OUT

Regarding a rumor that r. ]. Lord
had sold his interest in the Hawaiian
Dredging Company all that can be
learned though it seems quite authen-
tic, is that Mrs. Lord had received a
.cablegram from her husband stating
that he had sold out to the Dilling-
hams for a good price Walter F..
Dillingham;, president of the Hawaiian
Dredging Company, is in Washington
looking after the Pearl Harbor dredg-
ing contract, for which the cable said
the other day that his company was
the lowest bidder.

their actual value. This view was
taken by Governor Carter, who vetoed
the measure. With this was an ap-
preparation for $500 for the extension
of the Kamuela waterworks. The lat
ter item was passed over the veto OF
the governor, but the Pauoa PROPOSE
tion was killed when it came up again.
This appropriation was one of those
which with the Standard Oil bill, caus-
ed a good deal of talk during the last
sitting of the Legislature and the sug-
gesLon made by the Superintendent of
Public Works may be valuable
one. Should any such sum as was
appropriated by the last Legislature
be suggested during the coming term
it is almost certain to meet the same
fate as the last bill did. If the mat
ter is left to the courts there is hardly
likely to be such trouble.

Will two murderers be set free
through the fact that President Roose-
welt has not yet sent the name of
Judge Parsons of the Hilo Circuit
Court to the Senate for confirmation?
At the present time this is an open
question, for there is a murder trial
going on before Judge Parsons and
after today he will no longer be a
Judge of the circuit court, unless the
President takes immediate action. AT
least such is the view held by some of
the highest authorities in the Terri
tory.
Since the two prisoners charged with
murder have already entered plea of
not guilty, the trial commencing on
Monday, Lhe case cannot be nolle
pressed at this time and it will GER
tainly not be completed tonight. Should
it go on and be completed and on
appeal it be found that Judge Parsons
was not qualified to sit, as seems likely
to be the case, it would mean that the
prisoners would be released and that
plea of once in jeopardy might be
entered to prevent any second trial
of the case.

A SERIOUS MIX-UP
over JUDGESHIPS
STRANGE WASHINGTON IN THE APPOINTMENT OR RE-
APPOINTMENT CIRCUIT JUDGES HERE-JUDGE PARSONS
TERM EXPIRES TO-DAY, WHEN HE Is IN MIDST OF MURDER
TRIAI-PossIBLE DEFEAT o. JUSTICE

The matter was broached to Deputy
Attorney General Whitney this morn
ing, with the authorities which had
been looked into, and he stated that he
was not certain what could be done.
1t is possible that an adjournment may
be taken by Judge Parsons till such
time as he is again qualified to take up
the case. This would also complicate
matters and would be almost certain
to be urged as grounds for a mistrial.
Besides Judge Parsons, Judges Hardy
and Matthewman are in the same box,
but fortunately neither are holding
court at the present time.
Since the Senate is in session at
present, the appointments made by
President Roosevelt must go to that
body for confirmation before the ap-
pointments are valid. This may mean
a delay of some time before the court
at Hilo will be able to resume its sit
tings in regular procedure. The ques-
tions seems to be when is judge
who is not a judge, a judge?"

not state that their terms last until
successors qualify, but are for "foul

out of fifteen votes for Lane in that
small precinct, nearly half should be
rejected, yet, if the afhdavits are to
be believed, this is what must have
been done.
Attorney Watson, when talking of
the matter this morning, stated that
he believed that his demurrer would
be sustained on the ground that it was
not shown in the petition that the
thirty odd persons who had sign
ed it were voters in any election
district, as required by law. He also
said that his side would not attempt
in any way to delay the recount but
wished to see it completed as soon as
possible.
With similar view to the expedi-
tion of matters as quickly as possible,
a joiner in demurrer was filed this
morning by Judge Davis and also a
motion that date be set for the
hearing of the demurrer. AS has been
already stated, the Court decided on
Friday morning for this work.

a Rural Pouce.

The numerous murders and other
grave crimes committed in the cities
Of this country OF in the envircns OF
cities call attention to the need Of q
more efficient police system. As q
rule, the perpetrators Of the boldest
crimes escape-at least for the time.
Ultimately detection and arrest are
perhaps brought about through acci-
dent or confession. There seems to be
a want Of terror in the very idea that
there is an alert police. Wrongdoers
count upon getting away. and too often
they succeed. The boy who enticed
his aunt out on the railroad track
across the river from New York to
murder and rob her knew there were
no police there, as there were in the
city park where the deluded woman
we2ted to 60 for an airing. There
were no police near the pond where
a New York woman was murdered re-
Gently a few miles from the scene Of
the Eberhard crime. The country road
passing the lake where Hazel Drew's
body was found was free Of police sur
veillance.
Moreover, u cities are close togeth-
er, and a criminal in one city feels
that he is in a measure safe IL he can
get into a city where the police have
no interest in his detention. Only
common courtesy unites the police Of
neighboring cities. They have local
rivalries and local jealousies. 4 Euro
pean states have a police connected
and directed under a single system.
And they have a rural police covering
the entire country. "What is every
body's business is nobody's business"
We have u vigilants when heinous
crimes are committed. But the public
is helpless in the face of criminals who
work in secret and slillfully cover up
their tracks. The esprit de corps Of
organization is needed, with alert and
Jealous watchers and patrols, making
the whole country a net from which
there can be no escape.

Noise. and Nerves.

was the remark often made BY per-
sons blessed with q thick cuticle and
blunted sensibilities. Nerves Will
adapt themselves to conditions. City
trained nerves are as much upset by
the absence Of noise In the country ar
country trained nerves are Jared BY
the ceaseless clamor Of the city.
The old time hum Of the town and
the city was, after all, not very dis,
tracing to the nerve Of the normal
person. It simply suggested life n
activity. '"The worlds low hum is the
poets definition Of that p~ulsating of all
nature which tones up the nerve of the
average man. Somehow 1t is possible
for all mankind to get in touch with
that all pervading energy that makes
the world go round and feel at home.
But the ear splitting, r pounding
sounds which have invaded life on all
sides are always shocks and neve.
tonics for the nervous system. We
may blink them and imagine we show
nerve, not complaining, but the truth
is that the whole frame rises In re-
volt and protest, wanting to get away
from the bedlam. When we cannot
get away we work up a sympathetic
sensation and hurry and hustle so that
the nerves will not react. This helps
for a time, but in the end the system
suffers and pays for its stoical indif.
ference. Nervous breakdowns often
come to victims who seem to be noise
hardened. They simply have the noise
habit, and it Is a disease which must
run to a crisis. 1t is well that authori.
