Judge Ashford Wants Supreme
Court Decision on What '.irl-
famous 0ffenses Are

Whether the district court Of Homo
lulu has Jurisdiction to hear and de-
termine the case of person charged
with an offense which, in the langu-
age of the statute, may be punished
by Imprisonment at hard labor; and
whether the circuit court has juris-
diction to hear and determine such a
case upon appeal, the defendant hay
ing not been indicted by a grand jury,
is the interesting legal question which
was raised by Circuit Judge Ashford
yesterday and which has been re-
served to the supreme court.
! When the case of James J. Over
boy, charged with embezzlement, an
appeal from the. district court, was
called up in Circuit Judge Ashford's
court this morning, the court stated
ii was in doubt as to whether the dis
triet court ever had jurisdiction to
hear and determine the matter, from
the fact that the statute makes the
offense punishable by Imprisonment at
hard labor. For this reason, it was
the opinion of the court that II the
district court had no jurisdiction in
the matter, the circuit court hardly
could secure Jurisdiction by the ap-
peal.
Circuit Judge Ashford called atten-
ton to the fact that the penalty pro.
vided by statute may include impriS.
onment at hard labor. and that there

THIN PEOPLE

Thin men and women who would
Ike to increase their weight with 10
or is pounds Of healthy rstay there
fat should try eating a little Sargol
with their meals for q while and note
results. Here Is g good test worth
trying. First weigh yourself and
measure yourself. Then take Sar-
gol-one tablet with every meal
for two weeks. Then weigh
yourself again. Il isn't q question Of
how you look or feel or what your
friends say and think The scale and
tape measure viii tell their own
story. and most any thin man or WON
an can easily add from five to eight
pounds In the first fourteen days by
following this simple direction. And
best of all, the new flesh stays put.
Sargol does not OF itself make fat,
but mixing with your food, II turns
the fats, sugars and starches Of what
you have eaten, into rich, ripe fat
producing nourislment for the tissues
and blood prepares 1t In an easily
assimilated form which the blood can
readily accept. All this nourishment
now passes from your body as waste.
But Sargol stops the waste and does
it quickly and makes the fat produc-
ing contents of the very same meals
you are eating now develop pounds
and pounds Of healthy flesh between
your skin and bones. Sargol Is safe,
efficient and inexpensive.

is only one prison in the territory
where hard labor may be legally I'M
posed upon prisoners, namely, Oahu
prison and the territorial penitentiary.
The real question involved, the court
continued, is whether the punishment
provided by law is an Infamous pun
ishment IL 1t is, then that fact makes
the offense an '.infamous. offense, de-
clared Judge Ashford. and, II IL be an
Infamous" offense. then 1t can only
be tried upon the Indictment OF a
grand jury. rsS !, .5..
This whole blessed thing has been
brooding ever since the enaction Of
the new revision of the law by the last
Legislature" remarked Judge Ashford
in chambers. This new revision pro-
vides in express terms, with respect
to a large number of offenses which
would otherwise be considered misde.
meanors, that they may be punished
by Imprisonment at hard labor.
This incidentally raises the ques-
ton whether, being so punishable and
there being only one prison in the ter.
ritory where they may be so punished,
these offenses thereby become and
are to be considered as infamous Of
lenses. If SO, then the further ques-
ton arises whether they can be heard
and determined without the accused
person having been first indicted by a
grand jury. a.. +.
There are several inconsistencies
in our statutory law on the subject,
which it is hoped may be reconciled
or otherwise cleared up by. a decision
from the supreme court"

lieyed the governor should warn negli-
gent sheriffs, and if after warning they
still refused to enforce the prohibitory
law, the legislature be convened to inn
peach and remove them. He said the
militia should be called out to enforce
the law if no other means could be found
to enforce it. Gov Curtis in reply said
that he had no power as governor to
cause the law to be enforced and quoted
from Judge Emery of the supreme court
an opinion that Maine governors are
made to take an oath which they are
powerless to keep. He asked Mr.. Berry
TO show him what power he had as gov
ernor TO enforce the prohibitory law.
Mr.. Berry insisted that he should use
the legislature.

agreed that neither British nor French
troops were anywhere near the Cathe-
dral. 1t has been impossible to save
the priceless stained glass windows in
the cathedral because the erection of
scaffolding which would be necessary to
take them down, the French say, might
give the Germans the idea that the ca

Protests Against Occupa-

Rome, July 2.-That the Austrians
have suffered heavily in the fighting
around the Trentino is claimed in yes
terday's war Office statement
The official statement follows:
Continued unfavorable weather con.
ditions have imposed new obstacles which
our troops surmount with Interchangeable
tenacity. In the mountainous part of
the theatre of operations fog has caused
a slackening of the artillery action on
both sides, but has permitted our adj
versaries to devote greater efforts to
the work of fertilization, which, howev-
er, has been hindered by the action of
small Italian attachments.
ACTIONS favorable to the Italians have
occurred in Val Chiese, between Castel-
10 and Condino thirty miles southwest
OF Trent and at Porto Manazzo, in
Val d'Assa. An artillery duel in the
district along the ridge of the Carnic
Alps also was favorable to us.
"Along the Isonzo front an attack by
the enemy upon Italian positions east
of PLAYA with quick frers aided by ar
tillery was completely repulsed. A night
attack against our positions at CASTILLO
Nuovo, on the Sagardo plateau, likewise
was repulsed"
