HlLO JAIL CONDITIONS NOT So.
BAD, SAYS HEAD OF PRISON BOARD
Especial Star-BulletIn Correspondents,

Especial Star-BulletIn Correspondence
Hil.O, Jan. 24.-That the agitation
over the conditions in the Hilo jail
has been exaggerated far beyond any
thing which is warranted by the con
d.ti1ns, is the statement made by E.
n. Holmes, the chairman of the
board Of prison inspectors for this
judicial circuit Mr. Holmes, when
asked about the matter at first de
clined 10 talk, saying that he
was required under the law to re-
port to Governor Frear on the sub
ject and did not care to be quoted
in the newspapers. Then. he made
the following short statement:
while | do not care to go into
details on Che matters can say
that there has been great deal
Of cxaggeratior il the statements
made in regard to the conditions in
the local Jail While the place may
not be as clean as your house or
mine, that cannot be expected when
one considers that the prisoners are
crowded together as they are. as
the result Of the many prisoners and
lack OF appropriations for needed &C
commodation. The condition of the
Jail certainly does not warrant the
use of the term filthy" and the
tales of large numbers Of bertberi
cases are also absolutely untrue.
Sheriff Pau has taken an active
interest in seeing that conditions
are brought up to the best POSSIBLE
condition and has Jailor Maby to
see that the Jail is disinfected
throughout and thoroughly cleaned
Besides this he has issued instruc-
tons that this, cleanup shall not re-
suit in a temporary condition but
shall be watched and says that if
soap, water and elbow grease can
do anything he will see that the Jail
is kept in good condition. He has
asked Health Inspector Bowman to
supervise the work of disinfecting
and see that it is done in the best
possible manner"

since then ON the other side of the

The present action is being taken
as The result of decided protest
made by Attorney Carlsmith when
he was in Honolulu. He went to the
various members of the committee
and demanded that the inEestiga-
tioR should take place forthwith,
stating that he believed that he was
entitled to ask that the matter be
heard without further delay. The
same view was taken by the COM
mittee who at once proceeded to
make their arrangements. 1t is
understood that the witnesses who
are brought before this committee
will not be put under oath and that
the investigation will be made on
rather informal lines. 1t will prob
ably take several days to com
plete the work to be done here.

One of the important matters to
Hilo which will come up before the
legislature will be the question OF
an appropriation for the Hilo Public
Library, for which, according to es-
Inmates made by those who have
taken a great interest in the work,
about $4,000 will be needed for the
coming biennial period. A serious
question in regard to the legality of
such an appropriation has arisen,
however, the difficulty coming
through the fact that the Hilo Lii
brary is a private and not a public
institution, the board of trustees
consisting of five trustees nomi-
mated by the Library Association, two
by the Board of Trade and two by the
Board Of Supervisors. From this
it will be seen that the only part the
government has in the management
is in the two representatives out of
nine who are chosen by the super
visors.

According to the story which is
told by the police officer he was
near the wharf on Wednesday night
at about O'Clock and saw a man,
whom he recognized as Hayden,
wheeling out truck on which there
were two rags, which turned out
afterwards to be filled with rice, one
belonging to the Hilo Mercantile
Company and the other to Fong

PSYCHOLOGY USED

Alleged Murderer's Heart Is Tested as
Things Are Told Him by

Chicago, July Psychological tests
were used by the police Saturday night
to try to force Piano Noun, Mace
DOMAIN, suspected Of killing Mrs. Flor
ence Woodruff, to break his stolid re-
serve and answer questions.
A stained shirt found in Nouns room
was shown to him. and detectives told
him that a chemical analysis showed
the stains 10 be blood. While the ques-
tioning was going on, police sergeant
held his hand over the Macedonian 5
heart to ascertain whether the sight of
the shirt caused any heart palpitation.
The knife with which the woman's throat
was cut was forced into Nouns hand
with the exclamation:
Here's your knife!"
No palpitation was observed when the
shirt was displayed, but the sergeant
said there was noticeable quickening
of the heart beats when the man was
offered the knife. He stoutly denied
that the stains on his shirt were blood
and said they were dirt stains received
while he was working on a railroad.

IL Scores by Home Team on
II Hits and II Errors
by Visitors
BOSTON REDS PLAYED
MISERABLE GAME
They Couldn't Hit, They
Couldn't Field - Well,
That Tells Story

Eleven bingles, interspersed with
similar number of misplays by the Bos-
ton Reds, resulted in eleven runs for
the Italian A. C. at Berlin street Satur'
day afternoon, and while the Italians
were negotiating this little collection,
the Reds were exceedingly fortunate in
worming one runner around the squared
circuit. This run was gift, resulting
from slow fielding by Maiden and Clari.
Dan Beaton was another big reason
that the Boston Reds failed to come up
to expectations The East Barre quar-
ryman was in his element and had prac'
tically everything that a pitcher could
wish for. He had the Reds at his mercy
all during the game, holding them to
two hits. The errors compiled by the
visiting team were inexcusable and were
received with sharp criticism by the
crowd.
The fielding features Of the game were
contributed by Clari and Witt. Each of
them executed brilliant running one
handed stops, on which they were able
70 throw the runners out at first. The
work of this pair with the willow had
a telling effect on the runs manufae.

the Boston twirler, proved to have moth

TOO MANY COLLEGES.
Duplication of Effort Being Made in Sew
eral States.

That there are too many colleges in
the United States with inadequate equip
ment and support, attempting to give
full courses for the bachelors degree !;
that much duplication of work is going
on and that there could be a profitable
merging of existing institutions to the
resultant benefit OF the institutions and
the community; these are differences
that may be clearly drawn from the
report of DIR. X. G. Babcock, in the
yearbook of the commissioner of educa-
ton, just closed.
The problem is particularly acute at
this time in the case of state supported
institutions. Many of the states have
their work of higher education central.
ICED in the state university or agricul-
tural college; but in nine states there
are three or more state-supported and
state-eontrolled institutions. 1t is in
these states particularly, that conditions
are often found under which "the dis
tribution and subdivision of what should
be a unified function of the state as a
whole has led inevitably to waste, du-
plieation. undesirable competition for APP
preparations, and campaigning for stu
dents in order TO get more appropria-
tions."
The report comedies that in some states
circumstances demand that the institu-
tions be distributed in accordance with
special needs. Thus there is an obvious
advantage in the location OF the Michi-
gan College of Mines and the Missouri
School of Mines in the mining districts
of those states. Furthermore, DIR. Bah
cock frankly states that the waste due
to duplication of faculty, equipment and
buildings is frequently overestimated.
There is no loss of economy or of eff
cheney" he says, "in carrying on in diff
ferent places the work of the first year,
or the first two years, of liberal arts
course or of course preliminary to
chronological work. provided the faculty
and equipment of these two years are
fully utilized.
1T is when specialized and techno-
logical work is begun in the second or
third year of the usual course, when
the services of high-salaried men and
enormously expensive equipment are re-
quired, that the waste and inefficiency of
plants inevitably appear"
Considerable effort has recently been
put forth to prevent needless duplica
ton. both in the case of public and pri-
vate institutions, but so far little actual
consolidation on the part of state insti
tutions has taken place.

King Constantine Sends a
Message to Greek
Army

London, July THE Bulgarian lega-
ton at London received Saturday night
official confirmation of the surrender of
the Seryian Timok division, numbering
1000. Six machine guns, p quiek-frers
and complete commissariat train were
also captured Two Seryian regiments
which crossed the frontier into Bulgaria,
according to further advices have been
driven back to the north of Egri Palanka.
Private reports to Vienna from Bel
grade indicate that even Seryian official
quarters are beginning TO fear that the
campaign against the Bulgarians is al
most hopeless. For Bulgaria the atti
tude of Rumania constitutes the great
est menace. The Rumanian army has
been Professionally modified, but the
government makes her future attitude
dependent upon the course of the nego-
tations with Bulgaria. Ii is hoped at
Vienna that Bulgarian statesmen will
perceive the necessity Of coming to
speedy and amicabe settlement with
their neighbor whose friendship at the
present moment is of such vital neces-
sity to Bulgaria. The Servian loss of
the Timok division in addition to the
breaking UP of the Drina division, is re-
garded in well-informed circles in Wen
ne as presaging a speedy conclusion of
the war.
Desperate fighting has been in prog
ress since Friday near Nedes (K0prillil,
according To the Sofia correspondent OF
the Vienna Neue Freie Presse, who says
the Bulgarian troops repulsed the Ser
9an southern wing with heavy losses
and expect to occupy Veles soon. The
same correspondent telegraphs that

80 miles is being fought to the north OF

posed to 100000 Bulgarians. The Bull
garians since Monday last had made
number OF minor attacks with the object
of inducing the Greeks to take the Of

battle was begun. The result is ex
pected to be deciding factor in the
Greek and Bulgarian campaign. The
strategy of the Bulgarian commanders
forced the Greeks to abandon several

are now threatened by an outhanking
