SUNDAY SCHOOL PROGRESS


The Sunday school as an institution of social
service is phase of community work to which
attention is drawn by discriminating article
published in this issue from the Rev. Henry p.
Judd. The Star Bulletin feels particular pleas
#nre in presenting splendid statement of the
work done through the Sunday schools and the
aims of the superintendent and his associates.
For nearly a century, under many high-minded
men and women, this work has gone on quietly
but effectively The result is seen in the broad
organization and large membership of today, and
in the results accomplished for good citizenship.
Superintendent Judd modestly effaces himself
in this article, but he is potent factor in carry
ing along and developing the work of his .prede-
cessors OF his aim he says:
at will be an ideal time when we shall find
schools all over Hawaii nei that are equipped
with body of enthusiastic and qualified teach
ers so trained for service that the sessions of the
Sunday school become mighty factor in pro-
noting peace on earth and good will among men,
and in presenting ideals of purity and industry
and right living that will mold the characters of
the young people and impel them to lives of
piety and social service"
To many people of the territory, the Sunday
school work is little known Its value to the
community is apparent from a simple statement
of activities and ideals.

fenced-in right-of-way, and itself with
out the power to swerve to the right
or left, and when notices against tres
pass have been posted and published.
the railway company is Immediately
held for the death, and in the majority
of cases, must pay big damages. How
much more so should chauffeur be
held responsible where both parties
have right to the right-of-way? An
auto travelling at speed not exceed
ing that fixed by law, can be easily
stopped within very few feet, and
even hitting person while going at
the laws speed limit would seldom
prove fatal unless the victim was
struck "head on" There may be some
excuse for chauffeur colliding with
pedestrians occasionally, but there is
no excuse for killing them; and If we
had the least spark of law enforce
ment here this miserable business
would end.

EDITOR

delegated with the duty of fixing responsibility
for deaths
For the benefit of the public and to answer
this juror-critic, we quote herewith Section 2744
of the Revised Laws, headed "Duty of jury. Form
of Verdict Under ''Dnty of Jury is the fol-
lowing:
EVERY coroner's jury shall, if possible, find
and certify when, how and by what means the
deceased person came to his DEATH and his name,
if it was known, together trith all the material
circumstances attending his death; and if it
shall appear that he was murdered, the jury
shall state who were guilty, either as principal
or accessory, or ire,c in dny manner the cause OF
his death"
Then follows the form of verdict In this
form of verdict there is distinctly reserved a
space for-the following purpose: "(then insert
when, how and by what persons, if known,
means, weapons or instruments he was killed. !"
Thirteen sections of the revised laws are de.
voted to coroners, coroners jurors and juries and
their duties. No sane person can read The law
in full without recognizing the moral duty of the
coroner's jury to fix responsibility for such an
accident as that now under discussion.
Common sense shows also that coroner's jur.
les elsewhere are constantly fixing RESPONSE
bility for accidents.
As final answer to cur critic, we ask him
this question: If you we're sworn merely to
reach the verdict that you handed in, why did it
take you four sittings to do it? The testimony
of the police surgeon and Of Chalmers would
have been sufficient to establish your verdict

THE DUTY OF COR0NfR's JURY

One of the jurors who signed the Chalmers
auto accident verdict takes exception to the Star
Bulletins criticism of that verdict as flabby and
Insufficient His letter is published in full else
where. The gst of it is contained in this state
ment:
sYou display a wonderful lack of knowledge
as to the duties of a eoroners jury. If you would
have turned to the compiled laws, you would not
have committed such blunder Section 2737
provides that coroner's jury isto inquire upon
the view of the body of the deceased, how and
by what means he came to his DEATH If you
will read the jury's verdict in the Chalmers case,
you will see that We complied with the law
Our critics evident irritation is excusable be-
cause little more public attention drawn to the
professional coroner's jury system in vogue at
police headquarters is going to break up that
twodollar-a-day system. What is hardly excu-
sable is the fact that in quoting from the law he
does not quote it all; he quotes only SO much as
will help to show that the eoroner's jury is not

FACE THE FACTS
AUGUST 9, 1913

The Start Bulletin has no apologies to make
or its course in handling the Chalmers auto ac-
.ident, and, with all Difference to the views of
Mr.. James l.. Mclean, who protests against the
manner in which the deplOrable accident of last
saturday afternoon has been written up in the
newspapers of this city," we feel sure of our
round in saying that the community backs up
he press in insisting upon full publicity for the
iccident and what has followed it.
The Star Bulletins regret is that neither time
Dor space has permitted the publication of the
knfire testimony before the coroner's jury
The testimony shows that w. q. Chalmers adj
nitted taking number Of drinks before the ac-
tident-and on the stand, under oath, he could
bot remember just what those drinks were.
The testimony shows that after striking the
hirl, Chalmers car went Is feet and one inch and
even then struck another car with SCATTERING
force
The testimony shows that Chalmers admitted
that he has driven his machine in a reclining po-
kition.
The testimony shows that Chalmers admitted
bis connection with previous automobile acct
Tents
The testimony also shows witnesses giving
evidence favorable to, Chalmers. The Star Bull
'etin has published great deal of evidence on
beth sides and editorially has only insisted on
the right of the public to know who is respon-
<ible for the death of a child on the streets.
The action of the coroners jury and the
course Of the county authoritiesis ample evi-
|1ence that unless public sentiment is stirred in
this community, accidents such as this, tragedies
such as this will be officially slurred over; re-
sponsibility will not be fixeafathe public will
hot be protected.
The letter published this morning is answered
this afternoon by correspondent in another
column Of this paper. Ownership OF an automo-
bile does not bring ownership Of the street The
pedestrian has right to protection and the com.
nunity has right to prompt and decisive action
by the authorities sworn to uphold the law in let
ter and spirit
Is the moral courage of this community also
low an ebb that its people hesitate to face all the
facts of the Chalmers accident? Is the intelli-
renee of this community insufficient to pass
Judgment upon the facts? Is the energy of this
community insufficient to end the series of pre-
fentable fatalities due to automobile traffic? Is
life held so cheaply here that Honolulu will
adopt no measures to save it?

ONDON-Interestin sidelights on
the life of the almost unknown people
under the rule of the Gar in Central
Asia were given by Miss Christie, r.
r. G. s., one of the first to be elected
to that body, who has recently return
ed from journey to Bokhara.
'"The IL gates of Bokhara," said
Miss Christie, are still shut every
night at shutdown, and the watchmen
parade the streets after dark beating
drums to show they are awake. The
people were very friendly. The Box
hara idea of justice was direct and
to the point. They took the condemn
ed persons. up to the top of the tower
and then threw them down. Once
was enough.
The carayansary in the queer town
was similar to those usually found in
the east long ago. The little rooms
look out over small balcony into
the yard. Underneath the rooms the
cattle are kept.
All the buildings, with the excep-
ton of the mosques and the towers,
are built of clay, and the method of
the builders is simplicity itself. A
wooden framework is put up, and in
the spaces between the wooden boards
are pressed sun-dried balls of mud
Then over all comes more mud, and
IN very short time house is built
and ready for occupation"
Miss Christie was fortunate enough
to see the Emir going to mosque. and
she also photographed him, which is
considered something of a feat, for no
one ever knows which of the many
mosques he intends to enter. 1t was
Friday, and a crowd of subjects
gathered near the mosque within a
few yards. of the palace.
