CAIRO AND THE RAILROADS.

The city council took drastic step!
at its meeting Tuesday night to make
right, II possible, the wrong done tn
people of Cairo in the matter OF ths
Cairo & Thebes railroad lease. !
win have to be conceded that tn
city's claim for redress Is not al
strongly based as is the claim Of tn,
protesting directors of the Cairo &
Thebes, because the important prom
Use that the new railroad should n
main an open gateway into the cit,
and not become the property of any
railroad company exclusively, wa
not Incorporated in the lease. An al
tempt was made, while the ordinance
was pending, to have this provision
made part, but This was vigorously
resisted by the promoters Of the pro
ject, who, though strong in their pub
lie utterances that this condition
should be observed, would not pc
NIT the promise to be put in writing
This ought to have aroused suspicion
at the time as to the sincerity of thf
promise; but 1t was passed over sot
lightly. The only ground the cit,
has for any contention now is tina
the lease to the Iron Mountain com
pany was in violation of the section
which declares that the Cairo &
Thebes should not be sold to any ran
road company which at that tine
owned or controlled any right-of-way
or tracks or terminal facilities In the
present limits of the city of Cairo
Whether or not the Iron Mountain
had such ownership or control will
be question for the courts to de
eide. The popular impression ma
been hitherto that it had not.
Probably it will be we'll to make 1t
clear that, 80 far as the people OF
Cairo are concerned, their grievance
Us not against the Iron Mountain
company, for they had no contract
with that company witch has bee
violated; but against the Louisville
4 Nashville Co., which, finding tn II
1t was to its interest to abandon its
original plans with reference to the
Cairo & Thebes, cast to the winds al
agreements with the peopie or Cairo
which in any way connlcted with II;

The people of Cairo want the Iron
Mountain railroad in Cairo: the,
need 1t and are willing that every
thing In reason and Justice shall BIZ
done tor give 1t every facility to dc
business here. The Iron Mountain
was one OF the railroads for whose
benefit the Cairo & Thebes was spe
cifically designed and built, hence il
would be folly to say that the move
ment now made to annuI the con
tract, Is aimed to drive 1t out of the
city.
Perhaps bit of history not ye'
will be OF interest in this connection
and will explain to the people some
things which may seem to puzzle
them. At has been stated that cr
forts were made to induce the Frisco

County Attorney Beers says:
The charge was made that the
prisoners suffered from beriberi, ow-
ing to the fact that they were not
given sufficient food while they were
held in the Hilo Jail. As under
stand it, an attempt is being made to
have the whole matter thoroughly in
vestigated, if not at this term. when
the next grand jury goes into session
in Kailua, it being the idea to sub
poena all the members of the board
of supervisors and Tailor Maby to
come to Kailua. This will however,
involve a very considerable expense,
so I have sent word to Kailua advis.
ing that no attempt be made to bring
the matter before the KailUa court, as
the Hilo grand jury, which will meet
in few days, can take the PROPOSE
ton up.
81 understand that the sheriff and
the TAILOR claim that, in case the food
given the prisoners is not sufficient,
the fault lies with the smallness of
the appropriation"
Sad Drowning Accident.
A very pathetic case of drowning,
where a father saw his son die with
out being able to save him. occurred
at Paauilo Sunday, November 5, when
William Anderson met his death in
the Hamakua mill cistern.
The boy, who was about thirteen
years of age, had gone with his father
to swim in the cistern. He entered
the water first, and amused himself by
padding about, supported by a rail
road tie, while the father stood on the
bank. The boy could swim a little,
and soon he began to swim between
| the tie and the edge of the water.
| Three times he repeated this per-
Torrance. Then, it appears, the tie
slipped from his grasp, and he was
too exhausted to regain it.
The father, who was unable to
swim, watched his son struggling in
the water. Frantic with grief, he tore
off some of his clothing. He found a
box which served the children of the
neighborhood as a makeshift boat, and
in this inadequate craft he set forth
TO rescue his child. Just as he ar
rived at the place where the boy was
struggling, the child sank and in his
efforts to reach him the father upset
his boat and was himself precipitated
! into the water. He managed to save
himself by grasping the boat, but in
the meantime the bov had sunk to
the bottom of the cistern, which was
at the time about fifteen feet in depth.
The fathers calls for assistance

Attorney Beers to try to get the use
of thirty or forty prisoners to assist
in the general cleanup work, mainly
the clearing of public property.
Austin declined to have anything to
do with the matter, as he had no
authority over the prisoners, this be-
ing vested in the sheriff. Beers ac-
cordingly telephoned to Sheriff Pua,
who is in Kailua, and it appears that
Pua told him that the health authori-
ties might have the use Of such pris-
oners as could be spared.
But it appeared that only eight
more could be spared, which, with the
gang which the board of health had
been using for a couple of months
past, made a total of sixteen prison
ers for the cleanup work.
In the meantime, considerable as
perity has been shown on both sides
Of the case. 1t seems that the police
authorities say that it is ridiculous to
expect a great force of prisoners for
health work, as there are only about
sixty or less in the prison, and some
of these have to be employed for vari.
Gus jobs about the prison, while
others are i'll, and some are unwill
ing to go to work, and under the law
they cannot be forced to do so, as only
misdemeanor prisoners are kept in the
Hilo Jail
On the other hand, the health
authorities and the health committee
people point out the obvious fact that
there would be quite a number Of
prisoners available" for health pur
poses, in case so many were no
farmed out to the county officials ant
their friends.
Jailor Maby was asked last week t
give the names of the officials anC
others who had the use of the serv
ices of prisoners during the pas
month. This he positively refused t.
do From other sources comes tn,
statement, however. that among thos,
who used prisoners for their private
benefit are Jailor Maby, who use
them on his place downtown; Post
master Desha, Sheriff Pua, Count,
Treasurer Swain, County Auditor Ma
guire, Supervisor Lewis and Deput,

ter it may be added that he uses hi

Jail Investigation.

County Attorney Beers stated last
week that the grand jury, which meets
next Monday, would probably be
asked to investigate charges to the eff
feet that prisoners at the Hilo jail
are not given sufficient food.
The charge was made originally be-
fore Judge Matthewman at Kailua,
who is now holding forth in session.
Il seems that the Japanese who is
charged with having killed a fellow
COuntryman in South Kona, and who
was taken from the Hilo Jail, where
he had been held until it was time
for his trial, became seriously i'll soon
after his arrival at Kailua, so i'll, In
fact, that he had to be taken from the
Kailua Jail and PLAYED in a Japanese
hotel According TO the reports re-
ceived here, Dr. Ross the government
physician, states that the man is suf-
fering from rheumatism, but the Jap
anese doctor who is attending the pa
tient says that he is suffering from
beriberi.
Another prisoner, also a japanese,
who, after having been kept in the
Hilo jail some time, was taken to
Kona to stand trial on a charge of as
sauts with a dangerous weapon, al
legged to have been committed in Ko-
