HIRAM'S ARREST

day night. ......
Hiram's arrest was brought about
Fy discoveries yesterday by Captain
McDuffie at the Hiram home. Hiram
admitted today that he did the job.
lie says another was with him, but
from the way the story is told the
captain believes Hiram was alone.
Yesterday Captain McDuffie found
a horn to a phonogTaph taken from
the Cunha home Today every article
stolen from Cunha was located in and
about the Hiram place. Some were
hidden in very unusual places. .-,
A revolver was buried some dis.
lance from the house. Mr.. Cunha' 8
silk hose were found in the rafters;
Mrs. Cunhas silk hose were under a
bed; the other part Of the photograph
had been thrown in the stream near
by, and s. bottle of cologne was
buried under the steps.
Besides the Cunha property, Captain
McDuffie discovered valuable watch,
stolen from J. ]. c. Haynes of the Com
mefcial Pacific Cable Company about
year and half ago from his home
at Waikiki. ~" + IL
Hiram says he did not take the
watch, but got it from a soldier about
a year ago in crap-shooting game in
Iwilei. A ring taken at the same time
has not been found.
Mr.. Haynes is now with the same
company in San Francisco He has
been notified of the discovery. The
watch is a Hamilton make, valued at
over 800. /.
An interesting feature in connection
with the discovery of Haynes watch
is that Haynes was heartily Disguised
with the police at the time of the rob
berry because they did not locate his
valuables at once. .s.. ~ ii
1T is with a great deal of satisfac-
ton that we have notified Mr.. Haynes
of the recovery of his watch" said
Deputy Sheriff julius w. Aseh today,
for he was especially loud in his con-
domination of the police at the time"
1T is seldom that jewelry stolen by
burglars is recovered at all, said Mr..
McDuffie. mir. Haynes can consider
himself lucky that he is getting his
watch back after a year and half"
Captain McDuffie sais today that
the arrest of Hiram and finding the
stolen property may clear up a mum.

ATTACK BEGUN
ON WORKMANS
ACT LEGALITY
Determinations" in New Law
Cited BY Judge Ashford:
Up to Him to Decide

A man. who earns moro than S36 a
week is rich. while one who earns less
is poor. This is the inference gained
by Circuit Judge Ashford from the
provisions of the Workman S COmpen-
sati6n Act, according 10 q statement
made by him from the bench today.
The first steps to test the conStitu-
tionality of the act. as approved by
the governor. were taken in Judge
Ashford's court today with the begin
ming of argument on demurrGrs filed
in the damage suits brought by J. j.
Carroll against the NarCOni Wireless
Company and L. 7. Anderson against
the Hawaiian Dredging Company.
1t was pointed out to Judge Ashford
that man who is earning 800 or
$3.50 a week is excluded under the
provisions OF the act.
Therefore. it appears that we have
one law for the poor and another for
the rich" Judge Ashford commented.
When informed that the provisions
of the law DO not include domestic
servants, Judge Ashford said:
why not? Isn't that Il discrimina-
tion and one which the constitution
might not uphold"
r. The court took as an example an
accident in which a man earning $36
week loses a leg. while another
man earning $37 week is similarly
injured In this case, he said, the
man earning S36 a week might recover
damages, while the other man could
not.
How are you going to justify that
discrimination? the court wanted TO
