BAD NEGRO" HARRIS
ESCAPES FROM JAIL

Emory Harris, the noted negro crimi-
nal who was jailed on March 5 for
attempting to murder a negro named
Z. Parker at the house of John Nash,
also a negro, escaped from the police
station jail yard between 1880 and 2
o clock yesterday afternoon, and was
still at large at an early hour this morn
ing, although officers We're securing the
city for him. This is Harris third sue
cessful escape from the police station,
and he also broke once or twice out of
the Naval Station brig during the time
he was a sailor on the U. s. S. Iroquois
Sometime between the hours men
toned Harris was seen by trusty to
walk up the inclined way to the slid
ing doors which open into the receiving
station. Prisoners are not allowed to
walk up this platform, and the trusty
called the attention of the turnkey to
the matter. The turnkey replied "Oh,
/ guess they have sent for him up.
stairs" and with that dismissed the
matter from his mind.
Just how Harris got past the Of
fcers in the receiving station is un.
known. He had to slide the doors open,
| which must have been unlocked at the
passed into the receiving station and
then directly out through the doorway
or up to the main section of the build
ing, passing out of the principal en-.
| trance.
Some time ago a new regulation was
made concerning the method of keep
ing tab on the door to the station yard.
| The key had to be constantly in the
| hand nf tho santain ar rho snr0aant If
one goes away from the receiving of
fee, the other retains possession of the
key. Even if the turnkey wants to
come up from below he has to rap on
| the door, or give some sort of signal
and the door is opened for him. This
door is not supposed to be left unlock
ed, although with so many TRUSTEES and
officers passing through all the time
the rule is sometimes neglected, espe'
eially if an officer or trusty intends to
return Immediately.
Harris on two former occasions
climbed over the rear wall, but was
soon caught each time, He is bad
"nigger. He has long record OF
crime behind him, and is often in pris
on. He has n penchant for carving NJ
people. He was let out of the Navy
as one of the most undesirable men
ever recruited aboard the Iroquois.
\ Harris has been wearing a bandage
over his forehead since the fight or
March when Parker, after being shot
took the revolver away from him and
pounded him in the face with it. Most
likely Harris will take the bandage OFF
but the sears ON forehead and nose
should show.
The decision to give any publicity tc
the escape of Harris was not arrived al
until last evening, the first intention
of the department being to prevent il
from getting into the newspapers. The
Sheriff and Deputy Sheriff, however, de
cided to take the public into their con
) fidence.

lie stated that the bill did not take
away one ioia of the power for con.
trolling the liquor business. In fact,
he declared. IL remains as strict as
ever. the only amendment being TO
guarantee the right of appeal to the
court in chambers before jury.
His argument, further, was that, nj.

with the latter, might put him out Of

stances which, he said, came up before
the present board, where the licensee
was placed in just such a position.
Mr.. Peters went on to say that the
law as it stands today is local option
law. If the people of section petit
ton against saloon, the commission
nay rule it out and the lcensee has
no right to appeal from the decision.
In case he is denied new license, or
his license is taken away, he can not
sell the stock on hand, except outside
of the territory, which was difficult
proceeding. The thing ruins him. He
is in legalized business, but if,
through the personal within of the
chairman of the commission, he is de-
MED the right of appeal, he not only
loses the opportunity to earn his liv-
ing, but loses his assets.
Suppose a man had $4,000 worth Of
stock, Mr.. Peters argued, and in a
month he would have to seek a re-
pewal of his license If he went to a
bank to borrow money they might ask
if he expected to get new license.
He could not say that he would, and,
having no right of appeal, would get
no loan.
No expression of opinion was made
by any member of the committee. 1t
is probable that meeting will be held
shortly ut which those opposed to the
Moore bill, as amended, may have an
opportunity to present their side OF
the issue.

ORGANIC ACT COMMITTEE
FAVORS GOVERNORS BILL

1t is stated ON what seems fairly
good foundation that the proposed
amendments to the Organic Act that
the House is to be asked recommend
will follow very closely along the lines
of the amendments proposed by the
Governor in the bill he advocated be-
fore the Pacific Islands Committee OF
Congress in the winter. One report in
circulation yesterday was to the effect
that the Governor s bill had been TAX
en- in toto by the committee and in
corporated in the report the committee
will submit TO the House. Another re-
port states that the committee will ad-
vocate striking ont the clause in the
Governors bin giving the Governor
the right to settle all appeals in the
matter of disputes over public lands
and replacing the settlement of such
The Hawaiian gazette., 1909-03-26

disputes in the courts.
If either of the above reports are
correct-and there seems every reason
to believe that one or the other is
the House will come face to face with
the proposition of either turning down
the work of the special committee, the
committee proposed by Kuhio to do
this work, or swallowing itself and tax.
ing back the resolution passed early in
the session favoring and advocating
the Kuhio bill, now in Congress, which
turns over to the Legislature the power
to amend Hawaii's land laws.
The strangest thing about this is that
it is believed that Kuhio himself is not
very anxious about his own bill passing
and is favoring the Governor s bill al.
though he introduced his own bill after
he had introduced that of the Gov
ernor.

JOHNNY GLOVER PROVES
EASY PREY FOR WAGNER.

New York, April 2S.-Joe Wagner
had an easy time winning from John
ny Glover of Boston in their 10-round
bout before the members Of the Bed
ford a. g.. Brooklyn. last night. Wag-
ner had the better Of every one Of the
10 rounds with the exception of the
fifth and in that round the best Glover
could do was even matters up for the
session with his shifty opponent.
In the seventh round Wagner drop
ped Glover with Il left to the jaw.
Glover staggered to his feet and Wag-
ner set sail to finish his man. Glover
was in bad shape when the bell rang
but there was such an uproar in the
club house that Wagner did not hear
it. He continued smashing away at
Glover until the latter's seconds en-
tered the ring and carried him out.
Wagner, thinking the bout ended
jumped out of the ring. When the
trouble was explained to him he went
back and easily had the better of
Glover in the remaining rounds. Jack
O'DOnrel and Harry Lenny boxed a
draw in the semi-fnal.

GLIDDEN TOURISTS MAY HAVE
THEIR CHOICE OF TWO ROUTES.

~ ONE of the exigencies of laying out
route for the annual touring con-
test for the Glidden, Hover and
Detroit trophies, are indicated by the
fact that at times two different routes
between towns are traversed and
measured off by Dai Lewis, who is now
doing the pathfindng work. From Ken
dali to Lacrosse, Wis, there are two
ways to go. One is by way of "The
Tunnels" which will present some hills
and sandy stretches and the other
route is by way of the Ridge, few
miles south, which will afford hard
clay roads that are kept in excellent
condition during the summer. Both
these routes were surveyed by Path
finder Lewis, so that either one may
be taken by the contestants, as direct
ed by the manager the northern route
if it is rainy and the southern route if
it is fair
1t has been the object of the A. A. A.
contest hoard to make the tour this
year of greater interest to the automo-
bile users in general than ever before,
by making it of more value as an OBJ
iect lesson. This is to be done, not by
making the contest more difficult, but
by having the rules more exacting. The
performances Of the cars will be set
forth with fuller detail because of the
improved rules, and motorists every
where will get a better line on the pos
sibilities of touring on schedule. There
will be fractional points of penaliza-
ton incurred for things not before pen
allied, and while the contest is certain
to be close, it is expected In this way
