QUESTIONS WHALEY VERDICT.

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin,
Sir:-As a rule l desire to keep as
far as possible from all courts, iuries
and their workings, but must con-
fess that l am greatly interested in
the method and balloting by which the
jury in the ,Whaley case arrived at the
verdict of first degree manslaughter.
If Whaley killed his wife by the dis
charge of a gun. he is guilty of MUIR
der in some degree, that degree to be
settled on by the jury. Even If the
shot was fired in the described scuffle
for the weapon Ia weapon that was
capable of taking life, and was espe-
cially manufactured for that purposel
and fired by Whaley. he is guilty of
murder in same degree. / fail to see
where manslaughter figures in the
case at all. r..
Then, again, If Whaley did not fire
the shot, but the gun was discharged
through the agency of the woman, 1t
would seem. according to all sense OF
justice, that Whaley Is not guilty Of
anything IN any degree. ~ ~
It seems TO be. the consensus of
opinion that Whaley is or is not gull
ty of murder in some degree Man
slaughter does not seem to fit in this
case.

WELCOME THE CHINESE BALL
TEAM -

Oct ), 1913.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin,
Sir:-Not very long after the civic
convention ended there appeared an
article written by one of the Japanese
editors in which he stated the fact
that prominent Chinese and Japanese
editors were not invited to take part
In the meetings and doings Of the
convention. The Advertiser, in reply,
stated that that article should have
been written before the convention
took place. /. e. the public should be
reminded beforehand.
/ wish to say that 1t is about time
for the Chamber of Commerce and AID
Club to take active part in putting up
grand reception for the home-com-
ing of the Chinese baseball team.
The Chamber of Commerce are sup
|posedly the claimants to advertise Ha-
Waii, and the Chinese baseball team
has played no little part in this direc-
ton, and they and the people of Ha-
wall should be proud of it The All
Chinese team succeeded, in part at
least, in putting Hawaii on the map,
but this year they have also painted
1t with glazing colors How many
Americans in the east and middle
western states knew ANYTHING about
Hawaii previous to the Chinese inta-
sion? 1as {
Their arrival is only 4 short time

is no benefit to be conferred ON the transporta-
ton facilities of the community. Until the pas
sage of the local improvement bills by the last
legislature, the general fund perforce stood the
drain of special improvement work, but it should
do so no longer.
1t would seem that the supervisors, in consul
tation with real estate experts and businessmen,
improvement clubs and the commercial organi-
cations, should designate the main arteries of
traffic and make the general fund pay at least
90 per cent of the improvement expense. The
supervisors would then be in a position to insist
that local improvement districts pay the assess,
ments for other street improvement
The general fund.- with saving of $10O, 900 a
year, would be able to pay for number of
municipal projects now held up for lack of
money - a free garbage system, for instance,
or a municipal hospital, or children's play,
grounds .. -...~s .em.@ d
1t is true that the people of Honolulu, are fac
ing harder times than they have experienced for
some years, and it is difficult to convince prop
particularly the smaller property
owners, that they should form local improve
ment districts and bear the burden of street
opening and reetpaving. But at least the city
officials may insist that none but sorely -needed
improvement work be done from the general
fnnd, and that if any particular section OF Ho-
nolulu asks for new Streets it must be willing to
pay the cost. &

GET LOCAL IMPROVEMENT UNDER ElrlN

One hundred thousand dollars year can be
saved for the general fund of the city and county
of Honolulu if the improvement of Honolulu's
streets and roads are put upon the local-assess.
ment basis
This is the estimate of those who have been
studying the municipal situation in connection
with the new Improvement law.
That law was passed by the legislature six
months ago, but the board of supervisors and the
people of this city have not yet given it trial,
wise attitude to take now is that
work ON all streets and roads except the
main arteries Of traffic should be held up until
such work can be put on the reimbursement
basis. The extremely important work on the
more generally used streets is being done by APP
preparation from the general fund. Inasmuch
as these streets benefit all the people of the city,
all the people should help pay for the improve
ment Such main traffic arteries as Kalakaua
avenue, King street, and the road to Kamuki
benefit not particular section of the cOmmu-
nity but the whole city. 1t is fair therefore, to
charge the whole city for their Improvement. On
the other hand it is not fair to charge the whole
city-that is, the general fund-with the i'm
provement of side-streets or of roads where their

Why LICENSE IT?

The Star-Bulletin would do Sheriff Jarrett no
injustice in connection with his decision to ap-
prove the issuance of permit to Madame Puahi
for her hula resort, but this paper feels emphat-
ically that the decision is mistake in public
policy. - ~s'ssss ~ -.s.@t'. ~
The sheriff interprets the opinion of Deputy
Attorney Weaver to mean that he must issue a
permit for the dance on the basis of theatrical
performance or show. The deputy attorneys
opinion said sz.,,- ~szesss aes.e-->.a \
The only limitation to the conducting of show
by the statute is that indicated in restriction
providing that no license may be given for a show
OF an immoral characer" This restriction applies
to any show syass ii <->. ...-- 4.s@ ST. 4
II II not presumed that person is going to con-
duct show in violation of the statute There is am
pie police power to restrain any participant in an
Immoral show. ~ p. .zre *. II .es.> 4. "a .ras
That is a legal opinion But it must be ap-
piled to the facts regarding the Puahi hall.
Those facts are that the hula resort has not been
conducted in an orderly manner, that it has not
been conducted in observance Of good morals,
that It has not been properly restrained by the
police.
Madame Puahi was unable to secure permit
from the supervisors to conduct her place as
@dance-halL" Thereupon she applied for a ,sher-
