War Against Crime

n CTION on the part of the members of the
"A Mems League of Central Union Church, as
taken on Tuesday evening, gives heart to those lew
who through the years have been attempting al
most single handed, to stem the tide of corruption,
inefficiency and lawlessness that has marked the
course of the police in this city. Even though the
members Of the league do nothing more than
openly array themselves the side of law and
order they have done much, because the arousing
of any manifestation of public Indignation against
existing conditions had almost been abandoned as
an impossibility.
Two years ago this paper exposed the rotten
ness of one department of the police force. The
then civil service commission, taking its cue from
the absolute indifference shown by the public,
whtewashed the guilty and reinstated them
in positions of power, the first of which made
by them to drive out of the detective force
those officers who had shown themselves honest
enough to help in the exposures.
SO signally did vice and dishonesty triumph
that the corruption extended itself, until today
from the sheriff down, the police tainted
There are plenty of honest and capable on
the force, but they wholly subordinated and
obliged to walk around with sealed lips and
closed eyes.
Conditions. fostered by a public indifference
that became daily more amazing to those who
know what has been gong on, nave grown Steadlly
worse. The disclosures being made before the
grand jury concerning the rotten conditions in
police circles, brought to light through the
escape" Of notorious highwayman from Jail,
are OF part of things Honolulu has allowed
them to become through unbelief indifference or
stupidity.
But public decency has not been as lead as it
seemed and the demonstration at the meeting of
the Mems League proves it. 1t only remains to
be seen how practical is to be the work of the
members along the line they have taken up. 1t
may be said, right here, tina: the worst vice of
Honolulu is not to be found at Iwilei and that
time taken at this stage in combating that feature
Of the situation will be time wasted Iwile is
! simply the most obvious manifestation of the
effect of tolerated conditions. The primary labor
to remedy that, well as other things, should
be devoted to the elimination of the cause, and
the greatest cause is lax, indifferent or criminal
conditions in the police force and the office of
the city attorney.

FALSE BELIEF
OVER BEAKERS
FOR STEAMSHIP

New York. Sept. 15.-The two glass
hcakers found beside a hatch of the
White Star liner Lapland lying al her
pier here, were today learned to have
contained liquid for refilling fire extin-
glishers, and not acid calculated to set
fire TO the ship. as police and private
detectives believed last night.
The supposed bombs were hurnedly
removed from the ship. taken to the po-
lice bomb bureau" and analysed The
analysis tended to further mystify the
police for chemists found the liquid in
the beakers could not possibly cause an
explosion or fire. The ships officers
were then consulted. They recognized
the beakers at once. Five hundred SIM
liar ones were loaded late yesterday and
it is supposed the two found by detec-
tive were accidentally placed by the
hatch.
