TERRITORIAL GRAND JURY MAKES
IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS

eCuting officers TO see that such per
sons are returned here. The expense
it stated. is not properly a charge
against the territory, but is one the
city and county should meet, not in
dividuals. The following is taken
f:om this section of the report:
This grand jury has had placed
before it evidence that has resulted
in the indictment Of persons for al
legged crimes who, prior to the find
ing of such indictments, hal left the
territory of Hawaii, and we find at
the closing of our term that there are
persons, so indicted, against whom so
far no attempt has been made to extra
dite them. 1t is to be supposed that
ttis grand jury four'i these indict-
ments upon proper evidence, and this
jury believes that it is the duty Of
the proper judicial or civil officers Of
the territory of Hawaii or city and
county Of Honolulu to bring these per-
sons before the courts of the terri
tory, and not set at naught the find
ings of this jury. We believe that no
judicial or civil officer has the right
10 nullify or cause to be Intellectual
the findings of this jury.
This jury appreciates the fact that
, judicial or civil officer. upon whom
may devolve the duty Of eXtre:titing
the persons indicted may be SO situ'
ated through lack of proper appropr1-
alton or funds that he is unable TO go
to the necessary expense of extradi-
ton. We have been informed by CON-
hnk ipdiUid.
uals have in certain past cases fur.
nished the necessary funds for this
purpose. This is a condition which
should not exist. This jury believes
that these expenses are a proper
charge against the city and county Of
Honolulu and not against the terri
tory of Hawaii, and that the city and
county Of Honolulu should make the
necessary appropriation for its law
and proper appropriations to meet this
course. That there has been an ap-
parent difference between the city and
county and the territory on this ques-
ton is true, and this difference has
and can only result in peryersion of
justice" ..-. -...

the jury by the city and county clerk.
David Kalauokalani, relating to the
publication of ordinances, ETC., and
also to the proposal of instructing
young pupils in the safe manner nj
crossing streets and to the recon-
mendation for more Fairgrounds. In
speaking, in an earlier part Of the re-
port, of the city and county treasurer's
office, the jury pointed out that 1t
was the duty. of several officials of
the municipality to check over the
fund quarterly in the hands of the
treasurer IT stated that this money
had not been checked for year.
During its term OF Office SO indict-
ments were returned, out of which 81
persons We're convicted, two J found
not guilty, five dismissed. one strick-
Ell from the calendar, and 16 are still
pending. =. .&.-.-,,..-' 4
