HALLS OF
JUSTICE
LEAKING

That imposing edifice affectionately
termed the Judiciary Building, though
it is more like ruin, in front of
which Kamehamehas statue stands,
is today the epitome of leakage.
A puddle slops the upper floor hard
by the portal of Judge Cooper's door,
while belw, on the ground floor, are
several other puddles.
Tubs and pals and buckets have
been hastily called into use to catch
the drippings from the leaky roof, for
today is full of rain and the halls of
justice are dank and damp with the
fallings from the rotten roofing.
Justice must needs lift her robe to
keep the hem from drenching as she
parades the corridors from chamber
to chamber of the haunts of the
judges whose offices there obtain.
Clerk Thompson has turned up his
trousers and stenographers and other
necessary functionaries walk on their
heels when they pass the frequent
pools of rain which has entered the
judiciary structure.

The friends of E. A. Douthitt, and
they are many, express the hope that
he will finally consent to have his
name put in nomination at the Re-
publican convention for the office Of
City and County Attorney, in which
office he has already served sue
cessful term.
Douthitt, however, states that busi-
ness duties are such that it will be
impossible for him to consider the
nomination. He and Attorney James
Coke are partners, and because of
this partnership Douthitt feels that he
cannot take up the work of City and
County Attorney.
The position now occupied by j. w.
Cathcart pays only $3.50 month and
there the duties are so strenuous that
there is little opportunity for engag-
ing in private practice In the last
legislature there was an agitation to
deprive Territorial legal officers of the
privilege of engaging in outside work
and there is, also, chance that the
next legislature might attempt the
same proposition. With but $3.50 a
month there is little to encourage an
able attorney to engage his services
to the City and County.
There is one thing certain, say Mr.
Douthitt's friends, if he should change
his mind and accept the nomination,
and it is practically certain that he
would be elected, Douthitt would not
promise to retain the present staff Of
the City and County Attorneys Of
fee.

Washington to the effect that Wynne,
the man who killed McKinnon aboard
the S. S. Rosecrans in this harbor
some years ago, has had an extension

Here's A TiCkIiSh
Etiquette Puzzle

United States District Attorney
Breckons has a ticklish question to
answer.
Is it worse for a sailor to call his
first mate a - than it is for a
sailor to call his superior officer a
-?
Neither phrase is fit for publication.
The barkentine Makaweli, CAPTAIN
Nelson, is off port from Newcastle
with coal, and there is trouble between
certain of the crew and the first Off
Ger.
The first officer says that one of the
crew called him a bad name, but the
first officer did not hit the sailor, so
he says, whereas the sailor claims the
first officer did hit him.
Breckons is inclined to believe that
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1910-08-04

if the first officer failed to hit the
sailor there must be something wrong;
at the same time there is the question
of whether or not what the sailor call
ed the first officer is bad enough to
constitute cause for assault which was
not committed.
1t is a pretty case, and it is up to
U. S. Shipping Commissioner Almy
who has just bought a new cap and
will go out to the Makaweli this after
noon to hold court and determine, on
Breckons' advice, whether what the
sailor called the first mate is worse
or as bad as what a first officer was
called in a previous and recent case
wherein the sailor was punished for
his rude language.

Need of Beds for conaumptlxes.

The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
says that In seven states, Alabama,
Idaho. Montana, Nevada, Oklahoma.
Wyoming and Utah. with a combined
population Of over 100000. not one
bed for consumptives has been pro
vided. In nine states and territories.
Alaska, Delaware, Florida. Kansas.
Mississippi. South Carolina, South Da-
kota, Vermont and West Virginia. the
number OF beds for consumptives in
each case is less than fifty. while the
combined population of these states is
over 100000. On the basis of 400
deaths to million of population.
which is approximately the present
rate in the United States, there would
be nearly 5000 deaths annually from
tuberculosis In these IA states. with at
least 10000 cases of this disease all
the time. and less than 500 beds to
care for them.

New York.-Probably no man was

and none was more feared by crooks
than Thomas F. Byrnos, former detect

city few days ago. 1t was while in
spector and In charge of the detective
bureau at police headquarters in Null

greatest fame.
From the day he became a member
of the police. in August. 1863. until he
retired on May 81. 1895. Inspector
Byrnes was a thief catcher first of all
and 1t was as such that he became a
valuable servant of the people.
Byrnes rose quickly from the ranks.
He was first patrolman, then a
captain. inspector and finally commits
sioner.
Thirty years ago the city was over
run with thieves and thugs. A reign
of terror had spread over the town.
Murders were committed almost night
ly. It was at that time that Byrnes
was called to Mulberry street and told
to organize a detective bureau. He
had shown considerable detective abil-
ity while occupying positions of lower
rank in the police department. and this
had attracted the attention of his su-
periors to the quiet but determined
man.
