ALMY LETTER
CAUSES DISCUSSION

(From the Coast Seamens Journal)
At last the Journals oft-repeated
protest against the habit of Judges In
sending criminals to sea, as the alter
native of term in prison, has attract
ed he attention of other publications,
which have seconded the stand taken
by this paper. We reprint two such
expressions, as follows:
1t is refreshing to find that United
States Shipping Commissions H. N
Almy, in letter to Judge Andrade, of
Honolulu, protests against the practice
of obtaining employment as sailors for
persons convicted of crime. Not in
frequently one sees in a newspaper the
statement that a judge has given j
criminal the option of going to Jail or
going to sea. Since variety is one OF
the articles in the spicebox of life, why
doesn't some judge vary the thing, and
say to the criminal, Study law or go
, to JAIL" or you can take your choice
between going to Jail or going into a
bank" or "Pll toss up this coin; heads
you go to Jail, tails you go to the Legis-
ature?'-The Star, San Francisco.
Undoubtedly, The Star is quite logi-
cal in the alternatives it suggests.
There is no reason why a criminal or
an incorrigible should be sent to sea
rather than to the Legislature, except
possibly that he would be more at
home in the latter position. Similar
in tone is the following:
What would the American people
think of it if a young man who con-
fessed forgery were told by the judge
that sentence would be suspended If
he entered Harvard as a student, or if
ne would join plumbers or carpenters
union? Should we not be told that
these are no reformatories to which
criminals can be condemned? And yet
that is just what a judge in this city
did in the case of a young fellow whose
father had got tired of paying his forg-
ed checks. The late Rear-Admiral
Thomas, while in command of the At
lantic fleet a year ago, made a protest
against the practice of enlisting in
corrigible boys in the Navy, and gave
notice that when such cases were dis
covered they would be dismissed from
the service. The other day the United
States Commissioner at Honolulu COM
planned to district judge against the
practice of shipping criminals in the
local jails as sailors. Seamen are a
self-respecting class, and ought not to

we're committed by U. S. Commissioner
George A. Davis to the Federal grand
jury at the October term for viola
tion of the Edmunds Act. The Com
missioner bound the man over in $500
and allowed the woman to go on her
own recognizance.

said afterward. "This woman is re-
leased on her own Iecognizance. There
was a scrap here yesterday and an
other today on this question, but
am in the right and Judge Dole will
uphold me-"
1t would appear that there was con-
siderable of fuss in the Federal court
precincts over the affair mentioned
after the examination before Commits
sioner Davis. In the end he had his
way.

ticle Of interstate commerce and at
the time of sale was in the original
package imported by him, the sale was
protected by Article 1, Section of the
Constitution, and sections 1899 and
400 of the Revised Laws of Hawaii
did not apply to the defendant so far
as the sale of opium in question was
concerned.
Judge De Bolt, on all the pleadings
found the only question involved was
whether the tin of opium was at the
time of sale in the possession of the
defendant as an importer thereof in
the original package. In his opinion
given directly after the statement the
question must be answered in the ne
gative. Proceeding to review the con-
tentions of the defendant, he says that
the revenue officers have nothing to
do with the application of either the
foreign or interstate commerce clauses
of the Constitution" and concludes as
follows

Police Judge Andrade, City AJtor-
ney Cathcart, Clerk Fabian and De-
tendant DR.. Atcherley are going
this afternoon to take ride in
the police wagon to the Kalihi receiv-
ing station where the testimony of an
inmate will be taken.
Atcherley wanted the witness
brought into court, but this the court
refused.
Having exhausted all other witness
es for the defense, the defendant,
charged with being insane, insists on
getting the testimony of an inmate of
the Kalihi receiving station to the eff
feet that he, Atcherley, has treated him
and improved his condition, or even
cured him, with a view to show the
alleged improbability of a physician
being insane who could effect such
an improvement in the case or a leper.
Can Mrs. Atcherley go, too?" ask
ed the doctor,
81 do not. think that will be neces-
sary," said Judge Andrade.
Not that the appearance of leper
in court would help Atcheley's case
at all, but that it might prove dra-
matte influence on the mind of the
court, seems to be the idea of the de-
PENDANT or rather of the defendants
wife. Mrs. Atcherley was very much
disappointed at the order of the
court.
The whole defense, in fact, has been
more of an attempt toward the dra-
matte than any production Of evidence
tending to disprove the charge of in
sanity.
For example, R. o. Matheson, now
secretary in the Office of the Secre-
tary of the Territory and formerly
sub-editor of the Advertiser, was. call
ed by the Atcherley's case to the wit
ness stand and asked if he had ever
told Mrs. Atcherley that the leper-
cure agitation would not cease until
she and her husband had been lynch
/ ed or hanged.
| Matheson said he had not been gull
ty of such words and he went on to
explain how the lady had made use
of a jocular remark.

DESPERATE STRUGGLE
OF DELUOED DOCTOR

Mrs. Atcherley, he said, had been a
frequent visitor at the Advertiser Of
flee and on the occasion in question
he had refused to publish certain ma
nuscript she had brought in as an an
swer to an editorial he had written.
Joliingly he told her that it seemed
this Atcherley agitation would never
end until either the entire control of
the leper settlement was placed in
the hands of DR.. Atcherley and his
wife or the Atcherleys themselves
were hanged Mrs. Atcherley had
laughed ,favoring the former alter
native but, of course, not agreeing
with the latter though she appeared
to enter into the spirit of the joke
and to take it as a compliment to her
persistence.
Later Matheson heard that Mrs. At
cherley was using his jocular remark
from the stump in the political cam
paign, declaring that the Advertiser
was threatening their lives; he had
also heard that Mrs. Atcherley want
ed himself put under bonds to keep
the peace.
Another piece of drama was the call
ing this morning of Supreme Court
Stenographer G.. d. Bell to make him
read testimony to show that Presi-
dent of the Board of Health Mark Rob-
inson had testified that DR.. Wayson
had once told him that DR.. Atcherley
was a morphine fiend, whereas DR..
Wayson had testified that he had new
er said DR.. Atcherlev was a morphine
fend For this DR.. Atcherley declar-
ed DR.. Wayson to be a perjurer
DR.. Rogers, eye. ear and throat ex-
PERT or specialist. was another witness
called by Atcherley this morning. He
testified to DIR. Atcherley being affect
ed with a disease of the ear which
might keep him from sleep and so from
work, also that the drugs he used
might seem to help him, through caus-
ing sleep; but DR.. Rogers did not ap-
prove of the steady use of the drugs,
cocaine and opium. even because of
the affliction.
It is possible that the insanity trial
will be completed this afternoon.

the stamp thereon, and cancellation
thereof, may be sufficient to designate
It as the original package in the GUS
tom house. The revenue officers there
i'm know no other package or con-
tainer in collecting the duty. But in
the commercial sense the original pac-
kage is that box, case, or compact unit
of merchandise according to form,
size, or weight,) which usage, Gus
tom, security and convenience, recog-
nize and require as being proper and
sufficient to meet the usual end ordin-
airy demands in handling moving,
transporting and shipping all kinds
of merchandise. And in this connec-
ton this question naturally suggests
itself: Was not the wooden box con-
tanning 100 of these 5-tael tins the
original package?
I'm my opinion the wooden box,
and not one of the 5-tael tins con-
tanned therein, was the original pac-
kage. This view is supported both
by reason and authority. The case
OF McGregor v. Cone, supra, is also
in point on this question. The court
said:
can original package is that pac-
kage which is delivered by the i'm
porter to the carrier at the initial
