1t al pears that the Grand jury
appointed and sent to Hanalei a
special committee of its own body
to investigate certain complaints
coming from that quarter against
the police department. The jury as
a whole endorsed and submitted
the special report of this committee,
which was as follows:
/. SALE AND USE OF OPIUM
While we found no opium act
uallv in use, or possession, we did
find very conclusive evidence Of
hobitual and recent use-the un-
mistakable odor was still fresh on
the air, and the dens are just such
as are used for that purpose, One
of these places is so notorious that
it is being closed up by the lessons,
independent of the Deputy Sheriff.
On these premises, and elsewhere,
we saw many victims of the opium
habit. In Our opinion this state of
things indicates exceeding negli-
gence if not corruption, on the
part of the Deputy Sheriff and his
assistants. 1t is commonly claimed
that the Deputy Sheriff receives a
monthly allowance by way of hush
money from these joints.
2. SALE OF LIQUOR,
Here again, while we did not
actually lay Our hands on any
liquor, for the reason suggested,
we did find evidence of continued
traffic in it. One reliable citiz:i.
testified to having bought both beer
and wine within three days, and
testified that within few moments
of our departure from certain
small store, liquors were being
sold and consumed openly OH the
premises. We were also informed
that the road gang were drunk i'm
mediately after the next to last pay
day. We were also informed that
on certain special occasions, the
Deputy Sheriff passed round the
word forbidding the sale of liquors.
Reliable evidence leads us to be-
lieve that almost without exception,
every store deals III liquor, and
every one of such places contri-
butes its regular monthly quota Of

The Grand Jury filed into Judge
Dickey's court, Llhue, at about II
O'Clock yesterday morning a n d
filed it's second partial report the
first, which related to indictments,
having been filed something over a
week ago. The report was not
read at the time, but from the
questions asked by the foreman
and members of the jury regarding
its further duties and powers, those
in the court room inferred easily
that something very much out of
the ordinary was transpiring.
The Jury asked how much more
time it had, and received the reply
that it had until early in April.
1t then asked regarding it's
powers to compel attendance of
witnesses, which was answered by
the court.
1t next asked for permission to
hold sessions in towns other than
Lihue. Th e court stated that
there was no law to prevent, but
suggested that the jury obtain
specific authorization from tn e
court in each instance.
The general report handed to
the court was as follows (the sub
headings being inserted):

SENSATIONAL CHARGES
MADE: AGAINST OFFICIALS
SUMMARY OF The GRAND JURY REPORT

The report of this committee is
attached herewith and made a part
of this report. 1t shows a most
unlawful state OF affairs in Hanalei
District and one that needs i'm
mediate correction. In addition
to the recommendation contained
therein to the Sheriff of the County
of K auai that he Immediately re-
move the Deputy Sheriff of this
district and appoint someone in
his place who will undertake to
enforce law and order, this Grand
Jury now proposes to go anead
and hear witnesses and bring in
dictments wherever the evidence
SO warrants. In the opinion of
this Grand Jury, such evidence
will be Immediately forth. coming
just as soon as this official is re.
moved and his power to harm
necessary witnesses taken away.
COUNTY ATTORNEY
LACKING.
In this connection this Grand
Jury would state that it has little
confidence in either the desire or
the ability of the Prosecuting At
torney to help in this matter; rea-
sons for said lacking of confidence
will appear further OH this report.
Therefore this Grand Jury wants
the authority of your honorable
i'court to employ special counsel, if
same be needed. 1t is promised
the support of the Attorney Gen
erals department but the present
session of the Legislature may
keep this department so busy that
a Deputy cannot be spared when
needed most.
This Grand Jury has been in
formed of other districts of this
island where conditions are similar
to those which it believes to exist
in Hanalei. It desires to here ask
this honorable court if it is the
court S wish that it take up the in
vestigation of those districts, call
ing the courts attention to the
considerable time and expense
necessary. The members of this
Grand jury are willing to give
their time as required, but they
would like to know the sentiment
of the reputable members of the
various towns and districts as to
whether present conditions in their
immediate neighborhoods are salts
factory or not, and, if not, what
help can be expected from them in
an effort at betterment. To that
end. this Grand Jury solicits COM
munications, verbal or written,
from the aforementioned citizens.
They are requested to speak or to
write individual members or the
foreman of this grand jury. care

WANTS KAEO IMPEACHED.
This Grand Jury was amazed
that the duly sworn Prosecuting
Attorney of this county S. K. .Kaeo,
should address them i'll an effort
to prevent the indictment of one
H. Waiau for forgery; that in the
course of this address he should
clearly mistake the law defining
such a crime; and further, that he
should appear before this honorable
court and enter a nolle prosequi in
the said matter. From which ac-
tions, this Grand Jury is of the
opinion that the said officer has
forfeited the right to longer con-
tinue in his office and that he
should be impeached as provided
by law.
SHERIFF GETS A BRUSH.

honesty and integrity of Sheriff
VIM H. Rice, but finds that he

CHARACTERISTICS OF A MULE
Keep Depend Upon Mare-De-
mand Is for Big Animals.

Mule breeders differ to some extent
over whether the mule colts charac-
teristics are due most to the jack or
to the mare. Several Investigators
who have asked mule breeders for
their experiences and opinions have
received information that was at vari-
ance. The weight of opinion, however,
seems to incline that the external
characteristics of the mule colt are
given him by the jack, while his en-
durance, vigor and easiness to keep
will depend upon the mare.
So it will be seen that the scrub
mare, the cat-hammed, washy type
of little weight or stamina will not
make suitable mother for the mule
that is to sell well. Any sort of
mare will not do, but that is rather a
popular idea among some growers.
Take a big farm mare, one that will
stand about Is, 1518 or 16 hands high,
and that weighs anywhere from 1,400
to 1900 pounds, and bred to a good
jack she should produce the kind Of
mules that the market is always look
ing for.
When the jack is selected he should
be of fair size and weight at about
1000 to 1900 pounds, and have the
right kind of a pedigree back of him.
OF course there are good jacks that
are somewhat smaller, but the Is to
15R hand animal is the one that is
most certain to produce the type of
mules that farmer likes to be able
to offer. Where an animal is bought
it is worth the buyers while to spend
a little more and get as nearly what
is wanted as possible,
1t is just as easy to raise big, rug
ged, heavy mule as it is to grow the
little mules that are now used over
much of the South. They call them
cotton mules" in the southern states,
