TOR the last few months there
r have appeared in THE SuN let
- tiers and articles dealing with
conditions in Poland and with
the relation between the Poles and the
Jews.
The writer's represent the lot OF the
Jews and their relation to the Polish
people as most tragic and most pitt
full due on one hand to the conditions
Of the war and on the other TO dislike
Of the Jews in Poland. The Poles are
supposed to instigate the Russian SOL
diery to acts Of brutality and murder
by denouncing the Jews as German
spies and German sympathizers. The
aim of these articles Is to ALLEVIATE the
American peoples sympath1 from the
Poles: representing them as a nation
which persecutes another nation--the
Jews, who live among them. denying
to them that freedom which they
strive to obtain for themselves.
In all these articles not a single at
tempt was made to explain 10 the
sudden change OF the Poles toward the
Jews. a change on the part Of a ma
ton which during a thousand years
OF its existence never prosecuted any
nation from religious or racial mo-
tlves, nation which gave shelter and
protection to the Jews when all other
nations were prosecuting and expel-
ling them.
During the thousand years OF their
existence in Poland the Jews did not
complain OF persecution or Ill treat
ment. They remained there partici-
pating in the joys and miseries OF the
Poles, and when they received civil
and political rights, after the promul-
cation Of the Polish constitution on
May 3, 1898. the Jews fought with the
Poles In their revolutionary battles

Many Auto Drivers
Fined for Speeding
Police Set Trap and Half A Hundred
Are Caught-Law Had Not Been
EnfOrced-AII Fined S..

For exceeding the speed limit of Is
miles per hour on Main street, Wailu-
ku, penal summonses were issued on
Monday of this week for forty-seven
residents of Maui, and on Thursday
morning most of these faced District
Magistrate Mckay and paid fine OF
20, or forfeited a like amount of bail
through non-appearance.
The biggest joke in connection with
the general roundup, is that one of
those taken by the drag-net was the
Honorable S. r. Kalama, chairman Of
the Board Of Supervisors, who was
originally instrumental in having the
speed limits fixed. Another speeder
was the Rev. r. B. Dodge, and the
auto truch of the Maui Soda G. Ice
Works, driven by H. H. Taylor, act
ing manager, also got pinched.
The trap into which all of these
motorists fell, was set by Automobile
Inspector 2. j. Goodness last Friday
afternoon and Saturday morning, op-
posite the Japanese cemetery. above
the Maui Wine & Liquor Company's
store. An allowance of 5 miles ner
hour was made, and the list shows
that all of the speeders were making
over Il miles per hour Among those
who faced the Judge on Thursday

pleaded guilty, the only excuse offered
being that it has been customary to
run over 10 miles at the point in ques-
ton.
As matter of fact it has been over
a year since any attempt has been
made to enforce the speed ordinance
on the road between upper Wailuku
and the electric power plant, and
many motorists have apparently con-
sidered it dead letter. Some of the
culprits were caught several times
during the time the stop watches were
held on the stretch.

Murphy is Out for
Judge McKay'S Scalp
Files Charges of Serious Character
Against District Magistrate For
gerry and Embezzlement Alleged.

Charging Judge William A. Mckay.
district magistrate Of Wailuku, with
forgery embezzlement, and the falsi-
Tying of court record, Attorney Eu-
gene Murphy this week filed with the
territorial supreme court a set of SEN
sational articles asking for the remov-
al of the judge from the bench. The
charges which Murphy makes allege
that Judge Mckay did these various
things in order to prejudice him in
the civil suit for some $40 of Murphy
VS.. Mckay, now pending.
Murphy's quarrel with the district
magistrate is of long standing. The
civil action referred to is to recover
money which Murphy claims to have
deposited at various times as guar
antee OF court costs, and which Nc
Kay later refused to return to him
Judge Mckay has for some time re-
fused to accept Murphy's checks. de-
manding instead the actual cash, and
Murphy, in seven specifications
against the judge, embodies this as
one OF them, together with the state
ment that no receipts can be obtained
for cash so paid.
Murphy alleges that Judge Mckay
has obtained his signature to a cost
charge of 20 cents, and later altered
the figures to read $4.05: and he char
ges Mckay with Withholding from the
record matters from record until after
settlement had been made. in eight
separate cases, for the purpose of pre-
venting Murphy's getting money ,iue
him.
Other charges have to do with fal-
slfying OF accounts, and the charge is
also made that the court neglected TO
enter of record certain testimony. for
the purpose of causing a miscarriage
OF justice, to Murphy's detriment
AS reported in the Maui News" a
week ago, Murphy attacked the iuris-
diction of Judge Mckay on the
grounds that his license as a district
court attorney expired in 1911, and
had not been renewed, thus, as Muir
ply holds, rendering the Judge inelli-
Slble as district magistrate, notwith-
standing his recent appointment by
the supreme court.

Much Water Power

Electrical Engineer Much Impressed
Hawaiian Commercial May Har-
ness Falls in Keanae.

Although it has been many months

II. II. Taylor, electrical engineer, who
made the trip over the ditch trail to
Hama and return, last Sunday, declar-
ed even under present conditions there
is power enough in the falls he saw
along the route to operate most of the
machinery on Maui. Mr.. Taylor was
until few months ago superintendent
OF the Island Electric Company. He
expects to leave in a short time for
the mainland, and does not expect to
return.
In speaking about the water posi-
bilities of the ditch country, Mr.. Tay-
lor advocates large number of small
unit plants rather than an extensive
scheme to bring all the water into one
head. He states that within the past

as extremely practical in many places
