ing only to have its constitutionality affirmed.
1t sets forth that excepting for murder and one
or two other heinous crimes, also contempt of
court the court shall not fix the limit or dura-
ton of sentence, but the term of Imprisonment
shall not exceed the maximum nor be less than
the minimum provided by law-the maximum
to be the term where life Imprisonment might
be imposed, and where no minimum sentence
is prescribed by law the court shall fix such to
be not more than five years. -.
Section 3S45 originally provided for the pa
role of prisoner who had served term of not
less than the minimum, by the governor upon
the recommendation of the warden, approved
by the attorney general, thus cutting out the
prison inspectors; but Act III of the laws of
1915, as already stated substituted the In
spectors for the attorney general. Section 1916
provides for the absolute discharge of a pris
of the warden and the attorney genera-the
prison inspectors being ignored. =.
Lastly comes the retributive section, 3847
which provides double the minimum sentence
for a prisoner discharged under the previous
section who commits similar offense to that
for which he was originally convicted, or any
offense involving moral turpitude. If the sec
ond offense, however, happens to be below the
grade of Nervousness described in the section
the former black record of the offender, it
would appear, goes for naught. Yet the minor
offense may show that the subject is an invet-
crate contemner Of law and order, only await
ing the opportunity to make himself danger
Gus menace to society
the district magistrate does not measure up to
the gravity defined in section 3847, perhaps it
is not incumbent upon that functionary to deal
with it other than upon its prima facie aspect.
In that case, as already suggested, the law
ought to be amended SO that any breach of law
by person who had been discharged while
under parole would automatically relegate him
to the custody of the prison authorities.

TO EVA Mill IS
PLEASANT TRIP

The oGting conducted by Prof. II. S.
Walker for the Young Women's Chris
tan Association to the Eva sugar mill
last Saturday afternoon was quite as
instructive and pleasant as was antiei-
pated. -i- -.-. -..
After the dreaFy weather of the pre-

reared a subject for special gratitude,
and the lights and shadows on the
mountains along the road added much
to the beauty of the scenery. The
dust alone detracted from the pleasure
of the ride m.
Prof. Walker proved an ideal guide,
both because of his practical. expert
en&e as an apprentice in the Eva mill
and because of his thorough theOreti-
cal knowledge of sugar technology.
He answered multitude of questions
and volunteered much of interest as
he led the party from process to

of the cars of cane and ending with
the loading of the cars with bags Of

HILO, Hawaii, April 2s. 1916.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletiny
Sir-lt was with much interest that

the objection to selling liquor under
a license at the Coral Gardens. For
the year and more since opened this
resort, with the idea that in time 1t
would become valuable promotion
asset to Honolulu. have made no eff
fort to obtain license, and the high
class OF visitors WHO have availed
themselves of the facilities there have
shown that there is an attraction in a

tainab.e, yet where other entertain.
ment can be secured, as approximate
~, 1900 people visited the place since
tie glass.bottom boats were placed
in commission slightly over a year
ago.
The story that an effort was being
made to secure license for the Coral
Gardens was due to the fact that a
gentleman who was DESTROYS of secur-
ing the place for first class hotel
and resort believed that hotel
license tsuch as our best hotels have,
and some which are mot so best")
would be of benefit to the place and al
the same time cater To the tourists,
who have formed large part of those
who have visited the Coral Gardens.
No formal application has been made
for liquor license that know of.
Incidentally, would be very MUCH
Pleased if the Coral Gardens could re
eeive the support from those opposed
to liquor which the place deserves.
One reason why liquor IS sold in s.
many places is because the people
who patronize such resorts or hotels
demand it. ...... .<@

RAPID TRANSIT DISCUSSION.

What does the new Rapid Transit charter
plan mean to the people of Honolulu?
This question will be discussed tomorrow
night in the public meeting called for 7:30
O'Clock, senate chamber, Capitol building. The
subject is Of vital interest to Honolulu and
there should be a big attendance. So rapidly
have the utilities commission and the com
pany's representatives progressed that after
but week of conferences an entire new fran
chise has been worked out What it means,
what privileges it gives the company and what
control it reserves to the public and the pub
lies servants, are now to be considered item
by item. For the sake of argument, we should
like to hear Supervisor Hatch, bring UP at this
meeting some of the questions he asked few
nights ago when the supervisors talked over
the matter briefly. There is no disposition to
question the intentions of the Rapid Transit
Company to give Honolulu a continuance of
and an Improvement upon its present good ser
vice; but the charter as finally sent forward to
Congress should be thoroughly understood and
approved by the public and so clear in its pro
visions that there need be no necessity of liti-
cation hereafter to determine whether or not
the street railway is abiding by the terms under
which it is given very valuable franchise rights
Furthermore, it should be definite beyond all
peradventure what power the public has to In
sist on improvements felt necessary.
