YELLED CHARGE
MADE AGAINST
R. |. HALSEY
Attorney Lightfoot Asks Re-
lease Of Japanese Said to
Have BeriberI

In an affidavit filed in the u 8 dis
trict court this morning Attorney Jo-
seph Lightfoot makes sensational
though yelled charge against Immi-
grafton Inspector Richard L Halsey.
to the effect that Japanese detained
at the immigration station since April
rs has become afflicted with beriberi.
due, Lightfoot AYERS. to improper food
and improper sanitation at the immi-
grafton station. The attorney adds
that Halsey, when asked If the man
were so afflicted, declined to reply
and refused to permit the patients ex-
animation by an independent physi-
clan.
Lightfoot further says that beriberi
is fatal If remedial action is not taken
in an early stage Of the illness.
The affidavit was filed with q writ
ten motion in which the court Is asked
to permit. the mans release from the
immigration station on bail, pending
an appeal of his case from the local
tribunal to the United States circuit
court of appeals. Judge Clemons last
Saturday denied Lightfoot's applica-
tion for writ of habeas corpus on the
ground that the Japanese, Masusichi
Tanaka, is suffering from trachoma,
communicable disease 1t is from
this decision that the attorney for the
prisoner announces his appeal. Light
foot made an oral application Satur-
day for his clients release under bond
but it was denied and he now streng-
thens the application by the affidavit,
which by inference would accuse the
immigration officials of gross negli-
gence threatening death for the man
detained in their care rs
The attorney alleges in his affidavit
that he asked the physician in charge
at the immigration station on Satur-
day to examine Tanaka, with a view
to aseertaining whether he still has
the disease and if so what progress
Its cure is making. He says that on
inquiry yesterday he was informed by
Halsey that Tanaka still had it. -
He says lie then askcl if the nan
were inflicted by beriberi and Haisey
refused to answer. He then declares
'HdL Ho uSIiefCS dHdhd uOSS nave
the malady and that he acquired 1t
since his detention at the ilnnigra-
tfon station.
U. S. District Attorney r. w.
Breckons, who now lays claim to be-
ing something of an expert on the
subject of beriberi, following a four
days investigation of the disease
for the grand jury at Hilo just prior
to his return home, says beriberi is
due to insufficient nourishment and
too-extensive use of too highly pol
ished rice. His statement is based
largely on the report of the London
Medical Society recently published in
a medical book entitled Tropical dis
cases"
It is not communicable malady.
though it generally occurs in groups
of cases, in one or several families
living in the same neighborhood TN
der similar conditions
The most highly polished rice is re-
garded by the Japanese as the best
quality of food and is the most ex-
pensive, but Breckons says it appears
that the polishing process through
which the grains are put tends to de-
stroy much Of the nourishing ingredt
ents of the cereal.

CASE
BEFORE BOARD
next Meeting

Now comes the, case of Detective
John Kellett Having seen Captain
of Detectives McDuffie safely back IN
office, with the charges which had
been made against him explained
away, E. C. Peters, the attorney for
bo of the officers, is getting ready
toG.y to defend Kellett before the
civil service commission.
When the commission meets We'd
nesday evening, Deputy Attorney
Smith and Peters will appear to
agree upon date for the hearing Of
the charges against kellett. The at
torney for the suspended officer is
confdent that he will be able to clear
Kellett before the commission, and
Kellett is also certain, he says, of his
success. .. Z
The charges against Killett may re-
solve into a Question of evidence
money and whether or not he appro-
pristed any to his own use.
Those connected with the investi-
CATION seem to believe this is the
strongest point against him, but ex-
actly what the evidence is to substan-
tiate it has not been given out.
Commenting on the action of Sher-
iff Jarrett in reinstating McDuftie,
Chairman Wirtz of the civil WFrvice
commission said this morning:
Il was a little disappointed to learn
that McDuffie was reinstated without
hearing by the commission. 1t
would possibly haze been best for all
concerned If this hearing had been
held. But now that the matter has
been settled, the commission will be
able TO keep a better eye on the de-
partment"
McDufie took active charge of his
department this morning. There
were many cases awaiting his atten-
tion Several petty thefts were re-
ported, stolen property turned in and
countless other things which re-
quired his attention.
