MURDERERS GET
LIFE; new Law
ALLOWS PAROLE

Editor Honolulu Star Bulletin,
Sir: | am informed that the morn
ing newspaper of yesterday stated
that In the cases Of the Territory '
Mascoto and Sawaguichi. In which
the defendants on Saturday pied
guilty to the charge of murder In the
second degree, the defendants were
sentenced to imprisonment for q
term Of twenty years
That is not the fact. They were
sentenced to life Imprisonment.
But under the indeterminate sentence
law Of 1909, at the expiration Of the
minimum term fixed by law, to wit.
twenty years, the Board Of Prison In
spectors in conjunction with the Gov
ernor and the Attorney General can
parole the defendant If they see ft.
In other words, the term Of fmprison-
ment is for life, unless the officials
named act on behalf of the prisoner,
and they can only act when the mini
mum term has ran.
As the impression appears to be
left on some people that the defend
ants in the above cases were only
sentencd for twenty years. ] would
ask you to publish this so that the
people may be informed that the SEN
tence is for life.
Respectfully yours.
JNO. w. CATHCART,
City and county attorney.

| LAND SHARKS are likely to come to
grief at last. The federal grand jury
which sat at St. Louis, Missouri, on Sat
| urday, returned bills of indictment
/ against man and eleven of his agents,
charging them with wholesale frauds in
the sale of New Jersey town lots. The
charge is using the United States mail
to defraud. In 1911, Smart and his
agents sold 900 town lots in what they
named Spotswood Manor. The circular
booming the proposition represented the
lots as being within ten miles of New
York and located ON the Pennsylvania
railroad. Investigation proved, however,
that the Manor" was thirty.nine miles
from New York and in a swamp known
in the vicinity as ''Huckleberry Swamp, :"
or "Schoolhouse Bog" Most of the
lots were under water. The scheme is
similar to several others that have been
pulled off in this neighborhood, but be-
yond barring one'of the promoters from
county tax board and the officials of the
townships where some of the ''choice
sites" are situated have been pestered
beyond endurance for tax bills or some
thing whereby the owners could locate
their lands, which are actually worth
little more than the price of the deed
conveying them. AS to giving definite
lines of the properties that is out of the
question. They have been sold for taxes
at Sheriff S sale and in other ways and
bought in by the promoters. 1t is to be-
hoped that the fellows who have been
caught in Missouri will get what is COM
ing to them.

Big New Series of Detective Tales.
North american Will Put Out the Flu
Manchu' Stories Beginning
October

new writer of detective stories, who
within the last year has startled English
and American readers by producing an
entirely new line of stories of crime
mysteries, is about to be exploited by
the Sunday North american
Sax Rohmer is the name of the new
writer, and the stories of the series re-
late the battle of wits between Nayland
Smith, one of Scotland Yards brightest
mystery solvers, and DR.. Flu Manchu, a
mysterious Oriental, whose resourceful-
ness and courage in the committing of
crime are enough to test the ability of
the worlds greatest sleuths.
/ The Flu Manchu stories represent the
biggest thing in detective fiction since
the Sherlock Holmes productions. They
are absolutely new and altogether diff
ferent from any other detective stories
ever written. They will prove diverting
to any reader of modern fiction, because
they represent the very best of the nov
elites.
The first of the series of ten stories
will be printed in the Sunday North
american for October 5.

AQUATIC Notes.

George Hates and family are occupy

cove.
Oliver G.. Billings is striving to catch
one hundred bass this season. His rec
ord is now at the 90 mark.
While fishing on the upper creek last
week, Edward Durand caught bass
that weighed nearly three pounds.
Boating parties have about gathered
all the golden rod which has been grow
ing on the banks of the upper creek.
While fishing in the pool below the
dam on Sunday afternoon, Samuel j,
Taylor caught large pike that was %
inches long.
On the upper creek on Thursday af.
ternoon there was caught one of the
largest catfish that has been taken
from that stream in long time.
Musical soirees on the upper creek
have not been quite so numerous this
season as they were last year. Why not
have such an event some moonlight
night in the fall?

season during his employment in Yer

Seven canoes containing about dozen
people formed a group that was photo
graphed while assembled Sunday morn
ing at Schrayshuen's cove. 1t was a
very pretty scene and fine subject for
the camera.
Anglers in quest of live bait have
complained of the scarcity of minnows
on the upper creek this year, but for
some reason the little sinners have been
very plentiful during the past week
The recent drawing of the water in
order that repairs might be made to the
damat Smithville, has undoubtedly add
ed to the fishing here, which has been
pretty good during the past two weeks.
As the months for the excessive use OF
water for sprinkling purposes have near
ly passed, the water wheels are not run
ming as long as formerly, and it has
been noted by anglers that fish bite bet
ter after the wheels have stopped.
A colored couple in canoe were seen
enjoying themselves on the upper creek
on Saturday afternoon. At times they
were both sitting, on the rear seat, pad
ding side by side. The sight was an
unusual one and brought forth COM

A REMARKABLE work of reorganiza
ton has been done in the Republican
party in New Jersey since the president.
ial election and the credit for it is given
unreservedly to former Governor Stokes.
1t was disheartening task he assumed.
More than one hundred thousand voters
in New Jersey had turned their backs
on the party and made it pitiful third
in the last election. 1t had been knocked
out of all power in the State and it was
encrusted with barnacles. The common
belief was that the Republican party
was about to follow the old Wing party
out of existence. Party leaders dropped
their hands, organization went to pieces

WITH the Gubernatorial campaign
hardly started there come the expected
lies and fake stories. One oil. these is to
the effect that former Governor Stokes
had made an attempt to have Everett
Colby retire from the race. 1t is stated
that Samuel ID. Dickinson, of Hudson
county, had warned candidate Fielder of
this movement. But as soon as this re-
port was given to the public there came
from Mr.. Stokes denial that he had
made any such offer or that he had
authorized any one to do so. He says
he does not care how strong this denial
is put before the people. Mr. Colby tells
of stranger who came to his office and
began to suggest his withdrawal but the
man was shown to the door, Mr.. Colby
expressed his confidence in Mr.. Stokes
to the extent of saying that he does not
| believe the former Governor had any
knowledge of the transaction. 1t is pos
sible that this little performance of the
stranger was similar to that of sending
out anonymous circulars with the in
tention ofhurting the Stokes campaign
it got started too soon. 1t must not be
forgotten that Dickinson was Secretary
of the State at one time, and he got very
much provoked at then Governor Stokes,
who insisted upon Dickinson living up
to promise that he had made but failed
to keep.

VOTERS on Tuesday determined who
they wanted as their candidates for the
offices to be filled in November. The
Republicans chose former Governor Ed
ward Casper Stokes, the Democrats
naming acting Governor James f.
Fielder. The Progressives have as their
candidate Hon. Everett Colby, but the
real battle will be between the Republi-
can and Democratic nominees. 1t seems
hardly necessary to speak of the Repub-
lican candidate. His record is an open
book. He has once occupied the position
to which the people have called him.
This is the exact state of the case Mr.
Stokes did not seek this nomination.
He had received all the honors of the
office of Governor and had shared all it's
sanWtrying and exacting requirements.
1.-THE people wanted him and he
,5reed to be the leader if it was so de-
1ded. That decision is one that is worth
considering. With three other candidates
in the field, all men well and favorably
known in the state, men who had the
ability to fill the Gubernatorial chair,
the former Governor swept the state by
plurality of $1,000. That was an ex-
preston of the will of the people that
no man would be justified in ignoring.
1t is now up to the people to ratify their
choice and they will do it.

and the party outlook for this year was
absolutely hopeless. That great change
has been affected is apparent to every
body. A mastery hand has accom-
plished wonders. The Republican party
today, shorn as it is of power and patron
age, comes up formidably to do battle
for the control of the State, and it has
for its candidate the best campaigner in
New Jersey, man to be reckoned with.
Democratic managers who have looked
upon the election of 1913 as a walkover
now recognize the fact that they have a
fight on their hands, and in the true
Democratic spirit they will welcome the
ospect.-Newark Star.

BULLETINS are issued from the Office
OF the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
with the heading, s'for the information
of the public The majority of the
notices contain information that is Of
more benefit to the railroad company
than to the general public One sent
out last week tells of the building of all
steel cars for the use of the officials of the
road. Where this information is for the
benefit of the public is hard to see. What
do the people in general care whether
the officials of the railroad company ride
in steel cars or whether they walk. 1t is
not often that you see bulletin telling
that freight rates have been reduced. or
that passengers will be able to travel in
the same style as the officials-steel cars,
typewriters, maps, etc., etc.,-at low
price for a ticket. You do not see any
bulletin which advises that tickets will
be issued at moderate rate on which
any member of the family may travel
There are many things which the people
would like to see and hear which would
be more ''for the information of the
public" than what is sent to the news
papers with the hope that it will be pub
iished without cost to the railroad com
pany. Not very long ago there was an
arrangement between the companies and
the newspapers whereby transportation
was exchanged for advertising, but a
very convenient Interpretation of a rul-
ing by the Interstate Commission cut
this out and then the railroad company
lnaugurated its system of issuing bull
letins for the information of the pub

as regularly as they are received.
