THE KEALOHA VERDICT

The conviction Of Supervisor John kralOha
OF Hawaii county upon the serious charge Of en-
+ bezzling county funds is a triumph not only for
Special Prosecutor Robert W. Breckons and the
Hawaii county attorneys office hut for the good
sense and impartial Judgment of the jury and for
law and order in this territory.
The supervisors attitude since charges were
first preferred against him has been that of con-
fidence in an acquittal,-a confidence that, in
view of the seriousness of the charges and the
outcome of the trial. now Il shown as unwar-
ranted insoence He and his friends have
boasted that he would 60 scot-free. More-he
has even been the hero of a budding movement
designed to elect him chairman Of the next board
of county supervisors. -
There has never, in the minds of the prosecu-
ton, been any doubt that the case against Ke-
aloha was strong one; there has been some
doubt as TO the outcome of a jury trial even
though the defense was based on technicalities,
not on the real issues 1t has been said, particu-
larry in Hilo, that jury could be secured there
that would convict Kealoha. That fear has been
shown groundless; that lack of confidence has
not been justified Instead, the jury has
weighed the evidence on its merits and with a
clear sense of its own responsibility.
AS Prosecutor Breckons said in his address,
the jury itself was trial its ability to separate
true issues from false was put to the test; its
capacity for laying aside prejudices of race, re-
ligion, consanguinity, local feeling, was in the
balance From this test the jury emerged with
credit That small group smer has helped
notably to uphold the integrity Of the jury sys
fem in this territory, as well as to decide upon
the facts of one concrete case.
The result of the Kealoha trial is one of the
greatest blows dealt to public graft since the
series of hunderbolts began with the first
Of the Field exposures, now more than a year
ago 1t has been shown that guilty officials
cannot flout the law, secure in theirsbehalf that
friends and neighbors will "see them through :

MAKING CHARITY eUslNEssLIkE

Editor Honolulu Star Bulletin,
Sir: am pleased TO hear that the
public charities" here are up for a
mild probe, as it were. BY that as
sertion | do not mean to insinuate
that there is anything wrong or crook
ed in their management, but it Is a
fact that the people of Honolulu pay
annually thousands of dollars into the
Golfers of the public charities" while
! it is equally a fact that there is, so
far as an ordinary mortal can see,
no public supervision or suggestion
over or about the outgoing Of the sub
scribed funds.
A public institution, more especially
one that deals solely in charity, when
once it gets established as a dispen-
sary of charity deeds, money and as
sistance to the needy, may, with per-
feet impunity, stand up any and all
for a supply of the wherewithal to re-
lieve human suffering. This line OF
pleading appeals to all, and is gener-
ally successful.
There appears to be little known of
the acts of charity except those
hat filter through the yearly report,
and because it is charity there is lit
tie attention given to the report. even
by those who have given the funds
toward the life of the institution.
If | remember right, the report OF
one of the local charitable institutions
number of years ago brought forth
the comment that it cost several hun
dred dollars in salaries to give away
5000. .,:. q
There is no doubt in the world but
that those handling the charity funds
are as honest as daylight in their pur-
pose, but their ways are not business
like
There is a marked responsibility
and obligation centered with all who
solicit and collect money from the
public to be disbursed for charity.
The POUNDS do not belong to them.
They are simply trustees in the sense
Of all the word implies. 1t is therefore
within all reason and right that the
public should be made clearly con-
versant with the manner in which
every cent is spent. There does not
seem to be any such Information on
tap at present.
A waste of charity funds. raised
through public subscription is fully as
heavy a burden as those who sub
scribe to the fuRd as would be a
waste Of public funds. A sage has
said. ''If the waste of the world could
be saved there would be no poverty

the midshipmen's base ball team won
from the nine of Amherst College of
Massachusetts, on the Academy diamond
this afternoon by the decisive score of
Z to 1.
The sailor lads soon took kindly to
the way that Robinson, who twirled the
first five innings for Amherst, served
them up. Besides Robinson was wild and
passed six men, and the five safe drives
collected by the Middies, one of which
was homer with two men on. netted
them six runs. On the other hand Blod-
gett, star Of the Plebe team last season,
held the visitors at his mercy He al
lowed them only four hits and famed
eight batsmen. Seamens, who succeeded
Robinson, was effective for two innings,
but in the eighth the Middies coupled up
for three hits that counted for one run
The long line drive to deep left field by
Hicks in the fifth inning, scoring two
men ahead of him, was the Batting fea-
ture of the game. Supt. Fullam, who
witnessed the whole game, was greatly
enthused over this. He rose to his feet
an dclapped his hands loudly. De Castro,
the visiting third sacker, won the plaudits
by pretty one-hand stop Of Hicks hot

Marshall Refuses Proposals.

Mr.. Whitaker that Mr.. Marshall had nat

Up to within few years ago all matches
were PLAYED for simple wagers or purses

Marshall and Showalter played fifteen

have to do considerable work to mold
himself into a first baseman. Just at

Osborne and Campbsu In the infeld.
Cornish at second. Blossom at short and
John Riley at third fill up the diamond in
good shape. AS a backstop. Nudge. who
caught for last years freshman team, and
Hunter, who, with Burdette. was a regu-
lar last year. promise to make a good.
steady pair. Shear is another possibility.
Altogether, it looks as If Coach Quipby
should be able to build up a good team,
but it is doubtful If this nine or any other
college nine ever matches the record made
by Yale last season. in which, after losing
a game early in the season with a sub
stitute pitcher, they ran seventeen
straight victories. They lost to the Giants
and later one game to Williams and two
to Harvard.
At Princeton. Clarke, the coach, has
worked his sqAad well in the cage and
has just taken them out of doors. The
material is good. Copeland and Wood Of

ers, while Deyo and Lamberton. last
