SENATOR WANTS
GOOD QUARTERS

There Is More to Barracks

Says Warren of Wyoming

Senator Francis f. Warren Of WyO
ming, "Hawaii's senator" az he has
been called at times, On account oi
his special interest in the island ter
ritory, was one of the most keenly
observant spectators at yesterdays re
view at Sehofield Barracks. AS foot,
wagon and horse soldiers passed the
reviewing point, Senator Warren'a
keen eye took In every detail Of the
formation, and his pertinent questions
TO those in authority gave him much
valuable information as TO inside"
conditions at the big brigade post.
Senator Warren is firm In the be.
lief that adequate quarters and bar.
racks should be provided for all
troops on Oahu as soon as possible.
He thinks that not only are the
from the standpoint OF personal com.
fort but that it is unbusinesslike TO
delay making provision for the garri,
son.
Although a minority member of the
committee on military affairs, Sena.
tor Warren's long service on that com,
mittee, and his record as a soldier,
lends special weight to any opinion
which he may entertain regarding
Oahu.
The review this afternoon" said
the senator, was splendid. | was
much impressed with the general ap.
pearance OF the troops, and the bust
nesslike appearance of the men who
wear the uniform Howeverr-there is
more TO great post like Schofield
Barracks than marching men in line.
| am a strong advocate for prepare
ton, and this means looking properly
after soldiers in time Of peace, as wen
as having them ready for time of
trouble. In fact, one has considerable
bearing on the other"

LEGAL REPARTEE
EVLIIEuS TRIAL
OF GEER MATTER

The jury in the Geer white slavery
case this afternoon failed to agree on
verdict after being out two and a.
half hours. The jury was dismissed
and the case probably win be placed;
on the calendar for further trial.
Right In the middle of the trial and
just after the prosecution had rested
its case, Attorney Geargs Al. Davis
Jumped to his feet f,l federal court
this morning and alleged that the jury.
hearing the case of Albert and Cyril,
Geer. father and son respectively,
charged with white slavery" was not
constitutional or legal, and moved
that the defendants be discharged.
Attorney Davis clarm was that Mar
shall Smiddy, in summoning a speciai
venire, did not secure the jurymeI
from among the bystahders. This
called for an answer from District At
torney. jeff McCarn and for several
moments legal repartee flew thick and.
fast between counsel
Judge Charles f. Clemens stopped
Attorney Davis. Then he stopped Mr..
McCafti Finally, to preserve order,
presumably, he stopped both counsel,
as the two attorneys thea were on
their feet and arguing between them

allegation. 1t should have been done
while the jurors were being ehalleng-
ed, he said. Attorney Davis replied
it was q part Of the defense.
Marshal Smiddy was called to the
stand by the defense and testified
that he had summoned the members
of the special venire from stores, bus
mess houses and shops about the city
as there were no bystanders in court
or around the building when he re-
Fceived the order. = - ...@~
Attorney Davis then moved that
the defendants be discharged. Judge
Clemens denied the motion and the
trial continued peacefully.
The Geers are charged with having
violated the white slave" act. 1t is
alleged in the complaint that while
touring Maui and Hawaii with a shog
which they own, they transported a
young Portuguese woman for immora,
purposes. -
