audible at times, and those present
refused to divulge the meaning of the
secrecy other than to say that the

Honolulu Saturday morning, have out.

Civil Service Chiefs Adopt Reg

The civil service commission is
preparing to set its collective foot
firmly down on the junketing trips
of the '.higher-ups" in the police de-
partment, who hitherto have been
able to grab off frequent vacation
journeys by taking prisoners to the
mainland or the Orient or going for
prisoners held there.
Hereafter. heads of departments
will be asked to stay at home and at
tend closely to the administration of
their offices, and subordinates who
can be better spared-will be sent on
the trips, according to q decision
reached by the commission. Chair
man Wirtz said today that the atti-
tude OF the commission viii be car.
ried out from now on.
The commissioners take the stand
that It is not good policy for respon-
sible officers of the police depart
ment to be taken away from Honolulu
several times year in order to con-
vey prisoners who might just as well
be placed in the care of deputies. It
is also believed that when Honolulu
sends away for prisoners detained by
request Of the city, subordinates can
be chosen who are wise enough and
intelligent enough to handle the situ-
ations that arise with regard to ex-
traditions and other legal entangie.

fight before the caucus of Democrat
ic senators in opposition to placing
sugar on the free list was made by
Senator Newlands, of Nevada. 1t was
hopeless from the outset, and prose
cuted simply to save the face OF
the Senator With his constituents at
home A special caucus was held to
permit the fight. Before entering 1t
Mr.. Newlands announced that he
would support the pending tariff bill
without reference to the outcome OF
his contest. This preliminary state
ment removed ali interest from the
proceedings.
Just before the caucus assembled.
senator Newlands gave out an author
ized interview indicating his opinions
and outlining the lines on which he
would make his address to the caucus
in proclaiming his attitude, Senator
Newlands said:
"As to sugar. my views are un-
changed. None of our insular posses
sions can compete with Cuba in SUI
gar production. We should therefore,
stop short Of such a reduction as will
bring disaster in Hawaii. Porto Rico
and the philippines. We ,can ac-
complish this. by maintaining a mod.
crate revenue duty. So also, with the
beet sugar industry of the west The
production of alfalfa and beets will
be the main industries of our irrigated
regions, where the success of the gov
ernmeAt irrigation projects depends
largely upon beet growing as a form
Of intensive cultivation necessary to
the development of the soil by rota-
ton of crops. No contention is made
for any high protective duty; the ulti-
mate duty should not exceed one-half
cent a pound the duty which prevails
in England, France and Germany. It
will be productive of revenue and at
the same time would save an import
ant western industry from injury and
our insular possessions from prostra-
ton.
81 can not see why we should fix
a duty OF one-half cent a pound on
rice and deny it on sugar, nor why
We should impose duty upon wheat,
rice, barley, oats, eggs and chickens,
and refuse a moderate revenue duty
on sugar. Sugar is to be placed on
the sacrificial altar because of the
crimes of the sugar refiners, known
as the Sugar Trust. Their operations
have disgusted the country and make
the very name of sugar detested; but

PROSECUTIONS
WITNESS AIDS
THE Defense

Jumping up and down on the court
room floor and finally falling down,
sprawling on her back just as she de-
clared she had done more than q
year ago when she was carrying her
baby sister, little Man Pau, an IL
year-old Chinese girl, gave graphic
recital and demonstration in the pres
|ence of Circuit Judge Robinson and
the jury this morning, In the case of
her father and mother, who are ac-
cused of numbering the infant
Chun Kim Sut and his wife, Chun
wong Shee, were indicted on a charge
of infiicting wounds on their two
months-old baby on July 29, 1912,
that resulted in the child's death at
the hospital two days later
In the examination at the hospital
and at the inquest a number OF Sc
we're bruises were found ON the il-
fant's face and body, and so far as
known no witnesses were found to
say that they had seen the parents In
flict abuse or punishment on the baby.
The parents at first prcfessed ignor-
ance of the cause of the bruises, but
eventually made the defense that the
child had received them by falling
from the sofa and by being dropped
by the little sister In the yard while
she was carrying it around The case
aroused considerable interest at the
time, because Of the apparent mys-
terry shrouding the actual cause OF
0eath.
Though called to the witness chair
by the prosecution, Man Pau, the girl
who had helped care for the baby,
proved remarkably strong witness
for the defense. She spoke quite
freely through the interpreter, giving
"a frank, conerent, Straightforward
narrative of the accidents whichtshe
said her baby sister had experienced
the few days prior to her death.
According to her story, Man Pau's
childish playfulness probably was
the cause of many of the bruises
found on the body of her little sister.
She said that on Sunday evening, a
few days before the baby died, she
was carrying the infant on her back
Chinese fashion while playing with
some other children on a wooden
bridge near her home, and that while
she was jumping up and down she
fell twice, dropping backward dis
tance of about three feet onto some
stones strewn over the ground.
After the first fall she said the baby
began crying, and she Immediately be-
gan jumping up and down to quiet it,
and in doing this she stumbled and
fell again, in much the same manner
as before. In both instances. she as
serted, the infant received the brunt

While the police court was listen
ing to accounts Of the high financial
exploits of NJ. 8. Kim, Korean pris-
oner at the county Jail. yesterday AZ
ternoon, T. Suzumoto was preparing
an affidavit in which he charges the
Korean with fraud and misrepresenia-
tion. Suzumoto at one time gave Kim
a half interest in his pig ranch At
Moiliilf, and 1t is in order TO avoid
any claim the latter may make on
this interest that the afIidavif was
sworn to and recorded In the bureau
Of conveyances yesterday afternoon.
Following false promises By Kim,
says the affidavit, Suzumoto signed an
instrument giving the prisoner q half
interest In his pig farm. According
to Suzumoto, Kim told him II he
would sign the instrument he could
obtain his parole, and that he would
tnereupon invest $4,000 in the ranch.
i he instrument was signed Dec. II,
1912, and recited that Kim had obtain
ed his interest in the ranch March
2, 1908, for a consideration Of s400
The affidavit filed yesterday after
noon states that the reason 1t Is made
is to give Iotice that Kim has no in

JULIUS ASDH
INLINEFOR
AREPRIMAND

City and County Jailer julius Asch
is to be given a reprimand by the
|civil service commission, which is also
the police commission.
Al meeting of the commission last
night was followed by the statement
this morning that the members are
going to look into the circumstances
surrounding the borrowing OF, $3.50
by the jailer from one of his own
prisoners, w. s. Kim. Asch admitted
the transaction on the witness stand
in district court yesterday during
kim's hearing,
The commission apparently does
not believe that .Asch realized what
he was doing in accepting money
from prisoner who was known to
be receiving special favors from the
head of the jail But the commission
thinks a reprimand is distinctly in
order and it is stated that Asch will
get il.
Chairman Wirtz of the commission,
when asked this morning about the
commissions proposed action, CON
firmed the report
He also sand Inat one Of the rules
adopted by the commission last night
prevents prisoners from borrowing
money from members of the police
department, but that 1t had not been
thought necessary to prevent jailers
borrowing from the prisoners. Such
an act is unheard of-or was until

chairman.
