THE SAN GABRIEL

On Monday the Portuguese children
of Honolulu, a great multitude, were
given a splendid dinner on board the
San Gabriel. 1t was greatly relished
by the youngsters, who were the pets
of both officers and men on the &C.
cassion. They stayed aboard for
several hours.
Tuesday the ship was coaling, which
interfered with festivities, but at
night there was a comedy and minstrel
show, given by the petty officers of the
San Gabriel, at Lusitana hall. They
are said to be particularly clever in
these classes Of entertainment.
The San Gabriel will leave on
Saturday for Hilo, also visiting Maui
before her return to Honolulu. In the
meantime the round of mutual en-,
tertaining between ship and shore
folks will merrily proceed
The Portuguese residents of Hilo
will treat both officers and sailors to
a trip to the volcano.

NEW LIMIT PUT
ON PUNISHMENT
FOR CRIMINALS

WASHINGTON May S.-CriminaI
lawyers throughout the country are
said to be agitateo over wnat is desig-
mated as new era in the punishment
of criminals-that Of requiring pun
ishment proportionate 10 the offense.
The agitation among the legal pro-
fession arises from the decision of the
court last Monday, when, for the first
time in it's history, it set at liberty a
person convicted of an offense be-
cause there had been inflicted on him
"a cruel and unusual punishment"
1t was in the case of Paul Weems, an
official in the lighthouse service in
the Philippines.
Weems case came under the bill of
rights of the island. The court an
nounced that it must give the same
Interpretation to that bill of rights
as given in the eighth amendment to
the Constitution. Therupon it pro-
ceeded to construe this amendment,
prohibiting "a cruel and unusual pun
ishment."
1t was admitted that the constitu-
tion makers had used this phrase on
ly to prohibit the resort to inhuman
methods for causing bodily torture.
1t had been used to prevent a return
to the Roman method of sewing a par
racide into a leather bag with live
dog, cock, viper, and an ape and
casting it into the sea, and the Eng
lish custom of disemboweIing traitors
and burning alive women who COM
mitteG treason.
The court decided to regard these
presidents as milestones in the adj
vance of civilization and not as liml.
tations on the phrase.

tion," said Justice McKenna in an

nouncing the decision of the court,
'our contemplation can not be only
of what has been, but of what might
be-"
This he based on the belief that
otherwise the general principles Of
the constitution would have little
value and be converted by precedent
into impotent and lifeless formulas. D."

might be lost in reality"
Much speculation exists as to the
effect of the decision, That it will
apply to the territories and the Dis
trict of Columbia is not doubted.
The court has determined that the
eighth amendment is not applicable
to the states, and hence the states
will not be compelled to follow the
new principles.
Most of the states, however, have
provisions in their constitutions sim
liar to the eighth amendment and it
is believed that the decision will have
a powerful influence in the future in
depreciation of these documents.

oners sent to the penitenti6ry by the

punishment was not proportionate to

FOOD EXPERTS DISTRUST OF
BENZ0ATE OF SODA.
Regards the Material as Deleterious
to Health, Notwithstanding Rem
sen Boards Dissent.

DR.. Harvey W. Wiley, head of the
chemistry bureau of the Department of
Agriculture. and the man who placed a
ban on benzoate Of soda as a food pre-
sentative. declares he has read all the
reports OF the experiments by the Rem
sen referee board. which reversed his
decision in regard to benzoate of soda,
but has not changed his mind in re-
gard to the harmfulness of the pre-
sentative. He stated emphatically to-
day during his examination before the
commission which Is taking testimony
in the case of the food manufacturers
against the state Of Indiana at the New
willard Hotel that. Notwithstanding the
findings OF the referee board, he still

preventative.
Substance Of His Testimony.
DIR. Wiley was on the stand again TODAY
and a redirect examination was made by
Attorney General Bingham of Indiana. II
was during this redirect examination that
he stated that better work could be done in
making SUCH tests as were made with the
food preservatives. II the person In charge
were in constant and direct communica-
ton with his assistants. It was also
brought out that DR.. Wiley had MAIN
tained a very careful supervision of the
poison squad and hts other assistants
during the tests. Stress was laid upon
this, since II had been brought out earlier
in the case that some members of the
referee board had been several hundred
miles away from the place where the
tests were being made for which they
were responsible.
The cross-examination Of DR.. WILEY was
continued by attorneys for the manufac-
turers. AS heretofore. the cross-examina-
ton was technical and efforts were made
to break down Dr.. Wiley's defense of his
stand on benzoate OF soda.

calm prevailed and all conditions seemed
favorable for the flight. but the machine
after ascending above the trees was
caught In a tricky wind, and although
Moissant remained fifty-six minutes, hs

he descended to replenish IL. After a de-

minutes.
Finally a heavy gust OF wind caught the

bordering the English roadways. Mois-
SAINT avoided IL by an abrupt swerve and
the machine landed in a field. striking SO
heavily that IL was badly damaged.
