Under the new measure, which Is
OF particular interest in West Virginia
IN view OF the fact that the State en-
ters into a prohibitory regime on july
! Of next year, Shipments OF liquor

chief object is to knock out the ope'
ratioas Of 'speakeasIes," boot!eggiMS
and clubs, the greatest eyils.to beicon'
tended with in dry territory.
The law provides that shipments
may be made anywhere for individual
use or for medicinal or sacramental
purposes, under strict safeguards, as
Il Is provided that none other than the
one 10 whom the shipment is con.
signed can receive It. 1t also requires
That express companies keep complete
Dnd easily accessible records OF the
amounts received, by whom shipped
and TO whom delivered. Clubs and
the like are listed us Illegal institu-
tioMs, 10 which shipments cannot be

vidcd for every violation.

Democratic harmony plans will probably go
forward even ,if one or two embittered members
Of the party decline to join the movement. The
plans will 60 forward because there is plenty Of
work for the party to do outside of maneuyering
for this or that candidate for the governorship,
and because the party is now at critical point
and unity Is absolutely necessary to its contin.
ued existence as a working organization.
On the general theory that an internal fight
always weakens the apponent Republicans will
naturally welcome theeigns of squabbling at the

and not let the attraction Of public reward IN

money offered. privately for doing merely what
is their duty. If this attitude is adhered to in

morning. Hereafter the Office is to
be known as captain of detectives.
"The idea that the action was
aimed at McDHfie is nonsense" said
Chairman Wirtz this morning. The
title of chief of detectives has given
rise to much confusion. Communica.

ment. McDpffie's signing himself
chief leads to misunderstanding. The
Office is really a captains detail, and
in other cities the head of the detec.

Change in Reward Rule.
Another change made in the rules
by the commission at last nights
meeting was to modify the restriction
against police officers receiving spe.
ciaI rewards. The rule was changed
to read:
Section II. All moneys received
by any officer or member of the po-
lice department. from private parties,
corporations OF fhdiyiduals, for ser
vices. ordinary or Extraordinary, rem
dered by them in their capacity as
police officers, shall be reported in
writing, by the officer or member re-
ceiving the same, to the Honolulu
Civil Service Commission, and all
such moneys shall be paid into fund
to be known as the Police Reward
r'und,a the distribution or disposi-
ton of which, at any time, shall be
vested with the entire membership OF
the police department, subject to the
approval Of the Honolulu Civil Ser
vice Commission.

er, shall not apply to any reward Of

ment or any political subdivision
thereof. the Territory OF Hawaii or
any political subdivision thereof, or
any foreign government for the ap-
prehension Of criminals, escaped pris-
oners, or deserters."
The commission will thus ALLOW
lublic rewards to be accepted but viii
insist that no private rewards be Civ
en- to individual officers All such re-
wards wfll go into the general police
fund.
.The former rule is not nullified,
but 1t is really strengthened" says
Chairman Wirtz. 1T would be i'm
practicable to prohibit the local Off.

IN taking money from private parties

tie further and insist that cities or states should
send their own officers here for detained prison
ers There is usually no reason why Honolulu
needs to detach from local service one of its po-
lice officials to take fugitive to Japan or China
or California or Washington
The rules as whole are sound and broad. The

Hold CONVENTION
CONTINUED from page one,

graph regarding territorial conven-
tons:
Territorial conventions for the pur-
pose of nominating candidate for
delegate shall be held during the sec
ond week in September, Immediately
preceding the general elections. The
day OF convenfng and the place Of
holding such conventions shall be de.
fermined by the territorial central
committee before the holding of the
primaries for the nomination of dele
gates to such conventions.
This rule will have TO be dropped
and something substituted In order to
conform with the spirit Of the direct
primary law, which is to do away
with the nominating conventions.
The party leaders plan to hold what
will be rules convention at least
ninety days prior to the date called
for in the rule quoted above.
Changes in the party rules will be
put squarely up to delegates repre-
senting the entire territory and we
shall secure the sentiment Of the Re-
publican party Of the territory on new
rules. said Chairman Single this
morning" The executive committee
will recommend to the central com

at least ninety days prior to the Sep
TENDER convention date, which con-.
vention win change the rules of the
party to conform with the existing
primary law and for such other busi-
ness as may properly come before
the convention.
There will be, we plan. new pri-.
mary election to name the delegates
to this convention, and they will
probably be chosen on the same basis
as the territorial conventions of the
past, that is, on the basis of the vote
for delegate at the preceding cleo
ton.
"The convention will settle upon
the schemes for selecting territorial
and county committees and platform
committees and upon the nomination
of a candidate or candidates for dele.
gate"
The early date Of the rules conyen-
ton is to give ample time for public
notice of the party's plans under the
new primary law and to prepare for
the primary nominations.

TOO TEEDER. HEARTED. IN sPOTs

Jailer Asch's confiding relations with thai
clever Korean prisoner, Kim, were partially ex
planned yesterday when the jailer, under exani
nation in the district court, admittedthat he had
borrowed $3.50 from his prisoner.
Asch's almost Incredible leniency in the treat.
ment Of this prisoner, who is charged with hay
ing carried on several smooth swindling games
while riding around as guest in the iailer's
carriage, was evidently founded on good reason
It is not every inmate of the Jail who can help
his keeper over a rough financial spot by the as
sistance of a little ready money.
To do Mr.. Asch justice, his offense is probably
not SO grave as would appear from the mere
statement that jailer admits borrowing com.
paratively large sum of money from prisoner
who is shown particular favors. There is no ey-
idence of any intention on the part of the jailer
to graft; he took the money with all the limo
cence Of q child and certainly he could not have
realized that he was laying himself open to Sc
rious charges. -Asch has done many things to
his credit as jaiier and his intentions are even
better than his acts The main fault found with
him is that he allows certain prisoners undue
liberties just such liberties as Kim appears to
have taken advantage Of And in the end the
jailer suffers for this, as he is suffering now.
Several months ago discharged prisoner
came to the Star Bulletin and gave lengthy
statement, declaring that Asch had borrowed
money from the prisoner Kim. Aseh, hearing
that the statement had been made, hurried to this
paper and denied fatty that any such transac-
ton had taken place A few days ago, another
discharged prisoner, who had absolutely no
means of knowing what the first man had re
yea1ed,~ also came to the Star Bulletin and re
peatedl the story. The two versions were identi-
cal IN every essential detail Both men say that
Asch is easily imposed upon by smooth -tongued
prisoners who curry his favor; that he does not
keep discipline in the jail as it should be kept,
Asch Of course denies the complaints, but it is
rather significant that the most damaging
charge, that of the borrowed money, he has adj
mitted upon The witness-stand.
Very clearly there is work for the police com
mission to DO in strengthening the administra-
ton of affairs at the city and county Jail Asch
has capabilities, and he is a source of political
strength to the Democratic party that the party
is not likely to overlook But the commission
will not 60 amss If it asks the jailer to enforce
more strictly an equality of discipline among the
men in his care He is rather TOO tenderhea1fed
and confiding in spots
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1913-09-18

Sheriff Jarrett has suspended five police of
ficers for being drunk and disorderly. It is g
relief to see the sheriff show some firmness OF
character and knowledge Of department pro
priety occasionally. It might be suggested that
the surest way for him to secure discipline in the
police forceis to set thoroughly good example
to his men. Jarrett's own conduct has much tt
do with the laxityiof his subordinates
